Posts: 19 		Hi all. I made my movie 3 times. The first time no problem. I went back and added some things and made the movie again. Now Media Player will not play it. Is this an existing issue? At a total loss. Any guidance is welcomed.

If you want to see it you can install some codecs or make the video in small clips and then put it all together in an editor or something that has some codecs to render it out.

make sure to instal the right codec package if you insalled 32 bit muvizu install 32bit codec and likewise for 64bit

Posts: 19 		First off thank you so much urbanlamb, you have been of great help to me previously. Yes it is bigger than 2gb, 2.6 actually. Is there anything I can do to make it smaller without sacrificing content? I'm just curious as to that, but I will heed your advice. Thanks so much.

Posts: 19 		I'm going back now and deleting some actions, not sure if this will help, but that's the last thing I did after my first attempt and think that's responsible for the bigger file now.

and your welcome this is a common question

if they used wmv codec or something we would not have this issues its simply the choice they made. They stated at one point they were going to update but it has not happened yet

Posts: 19 		It's slightly over 13 minutes, lol. >.< I'm about to render it again, b/c like I said the file seemed to have grown exponentially when I added a bunch of actions. I'm going to try that route now and if it doesn't make a difference then I will do 1 minute clips at a time. I really appreciate your help. Can't thank you enough.

ah I was assuming you were using their uncompressed stuff which means 2 gig is 1 minute. Anyhow you dont need to do 1 minute clips if your using a lower quality maybe slicing it in half is enough in this case.

I dont know why a render would grow from this its just consecutive photos and it doesn't care what is in the photos

Posts: 19 		LOL, yeah it's a decent length time line, but not so bad. You'll be happy to know that by deleting some actions I accomplished my mission. And I didn't have to delete all of them, I was able to keep quite a few. Just deleting a few brought it down to 866mb. Vast improvement. Whew. I'm almost done. That is a relief. Thank you so much once again. =) I'll keep in mind the quality for the next time. The thing is for my first attempt I had left the quality at its default value and it was blurry. So I increased it to 100 and it's perfect since. I know there's an option to make it blurry but I hadn't selected that and it came out blurry. So that's the conclusion I had come to.

Posts: 19 		Hey UrbanLamb, just thought you should know I had great success. I got it to 1.66Gb. It was the actions, I guess I had way too many. When I started removing/deleting actions the size decreased. Again, I was able to keep enough actions though that the video wasn't so dry. I can't thank enough the entire muvizu community for all their help. I was able to turn it in on schedule. Very happy. I really can't say enough good things about the Muvizu software, it's awesome. Thanks all!!!
