I am new to Toon Boom Harmony and I was trying to render my first animation last night. It would get to 42 frames (the bar said 12%), then it would lock up for 5 to 10 minutes and finally say the program was “Not Responding”.
I am using the “Render Write Nodes” under “File” to begin the process - is this the correct way to do it?
Also- I have quite a few layers (around 25 bitmap images - though they are sized right at 1920x1080 and are not overly large) (3 sound files- 1 is dialogue and the other two are just sound effects here and there) and the animation is 2978 frames long - IS THIS TOO LARGE to render all in one shot. I have read online that you should break projects up, BUT if it’s stalling out before it even renders 50 frames that doesn’t seem right.
Perhaps there are things I can do to “clean it up” or “flatten it out” or something to make it more manageable?
Thanks in advance. I was googling all day yesterday trying to find info, but there just isn’t a lot of info out there on rendering troubleshooting.
