Rendering Problems

[Randy]

I have a 30 minute film with video clips and bmp photos and wma music. The
first rendering requested I free up more memory and suggested “disk clean
upâ€. I did this and then it suggested “do you want more memoryâ€. I clicked
yes and it pulled up all of my programs. I deleted some programs and started
rendering. It went OK until about 3 minutes before the end and the video and
audio got “jerky†and the rendering stopped, saying the video was complete.
I removed some more programs, and tried rendering again. This time the same
thing happened after only 10 minutes, “jerky†and the program is complete.
Without removing any more programs, I rendered it again, and this time it
stopped after about 12 minutes, saying the program is complete.
My source file has taken up about 20 GB of my partitioned 60GB D drive.
My C drive has about 7 GB free on my 16GB C drive.
SRAM is 512 MB
Processor is Pentium 4 1.5GHz
Question 1) Is the temporary rendering file on the D or C drive?
Question 2) If I cut the video into say 3 separate videos and render each to
the hard drive, then place these 3 new video clips on a new time line. Should
that work?
Question2a) How do you cut up the existing video?
Question 2b) Will I have enough memory to do this.
Thanks for any advise.

See how much memory you have left when you are running the program--Ctrl Alt
Del-Performance tab. All programs do funny things when there is no more or
little memory left. Usually the temp file is on the C: drive-you can search
for *.tmp and maybe find where it is. Question 2-I have no idea-try it and
see what happens. 2a. there is a very little box under the preview pane,
that says split clip or something like that. go to timeline view and drag
the marker line to where you want to split the clip, then click on "split".
High light the portion of the split clip you want to eliminate and delete
( either the key or right click). Q2b. How much do you have available?
Probably not enough. Videos take a lot of memory.

Thanks Fred for your response.
I was not clear on question 2a. I am trying to cut up the complete 30
minute movie into 3 seperate movies, render each, and then put them back
together. (When trying to render the complete 30 minute movie, it stops befor
getting to the end.) Thanks for your answer of how to cut a single video
clip.
