I keep trying to export an .anme file as a Quicktime movie, into the designated ASP 9.5 folder. It sure looks like it is rendering, but no actual quicktime movie appears, it just gets done rendering, then nothing.
Any suggestions?
Out of curiosity I tried exporting it into IMovie as png files and got it to work that way, but IMovie obviously doesn't offer the choice of 24 frames/sec.
Thanks.

Re: The disappearing exported .mov file
Is it a long animation?
When you say "It sure looks like it's rendering", do you see the progress bars till it's 100% complete?
And are you completely sure the "designated folder" is the one where the movie is being "produced"? (I've had to look for mine a couple of times)

Re: The disappearing exported .mov file
Your file surely has a name. Have you searched the filename?
Re: The disappearing exported .mov file
OK, I've done a search for it by name among all the .mov files and nothing.
It doesn't seem to be misplacing the .mov file, just not creating one.
The task completion bars go all the way to the end as far as I can tell. Then it just does nothing, rather than bringing up the new exported .mov file
I did successfully export it as a swf file, it seems to be the only format which isn't working is quicktime.
Now I'm going to see if quicktime needs an update.

Re: The disappearing exported .mov file
Quicktime says its ok, no need for updating.
It's only a 30 second movie, so it can't be that long.
Maybe the file is corrupted, I'll try exporting a different .anme file into a .mov file

Re: The disappearing exported .mov file
Try using a different name for the movie file when exporting.
I find that sometimes it won't replace an existing movie file. Also if the movie file is still open it won't replace either.

Thank You HeyVern, that did the trick.
It may have been that quicktime didn't like one of the characters in the title, a backslash.
Either way, it's working now. Thanks.
