Broken output video

PostThu May 25, 2017 11:55 am

Hi guys,
so I'm trying to render my my 3000 frames long comp and I'm ending up with a video that is 2min long but fails after 1:40.

My work flow works like that: from a one masive comp, I render the PNG sequence, in case Fusion shuts down (again) so I can pick up where it left. Then I load the PNG sequence in another comp and shove it in the saver node to render it out as a mp4 video.

So I did the math, and it seems that my saver is trying to render out the mp4 video in 30fps, hence 3000/30=100=1min40s even though I've set it up to be 25fps.

Any ideas guys?

Hmm, when I set that, it works fine. I'm on Windows and using Quicktime.

I don't know if it could be related, but what is your project frame rate set to?

I feel so dumb right now. I didn't even knew that there is something like comp frame rate.
What is it for?

It controls the frame rate when you create (interactive) previews (and maybe it also affects the saver frame rate, but I've never tried that)

As far as I can tell, that should work, though I've never tried to use Fusion to make a Quicktime that long. Since I can't offer a solution, allow to suggest using something else to encode, like FFMPEG.
