DS Repeatedly crashing b4 saving AVI
I'm trying to save an AVI of a DAZ animation but DS 4.5 repeatedly crashes at the end before I can save to AVI. I used to be able to save AVI files but recently if I create an animation with moving camera DS crashes. This is happening with every animation I now create. DS used to be so reliable but now it isn't. I haven't changed anything in my PC so can't figure out what's causing this.
I can save the files as a series of images so if I save as bmp or tiff files how do I convert these into an AVI?

I use this for my Frames to any format I like...

Ok thanks I'll check that out. What format do you save your frames in? I'm trying to get the maximum quality so I've been saving tiff files but maybe that's a bit OTT. What are the advantages of saving frames rather than rendering an uncompressed AVI?
I will save in png format myself, that leaves the option of using a Background layer on frames if I wish to do so. Tiff is a bit of over kill if you ask me. My reason for using a editor and rendering to frames is two fold.
1. If I see that little bit from frame 26 to frame 67 is not right I can just edit those frames on the timeline and render just them again.
2. I can stitch many smaller scene files (animations) into one much larger file with out my PC being tied up to do a full animation in one go.
My final output mode is normally mwv as it is viewable by all vid players I have came across at this time.
Editing sections of a scene is a great idea I'd never thought about doing that but re-rendering specific frames will save a lot of time. Joining scenes together that way is another thing I'd never thought of. Thanks for the advice. I'm going to render to image sequence from now on.
