I can't export a animation

Whenever I try to export my animation on wick, it just crashes and google displays a SBOX_FATAL_MEMORY_EXCEEDED error and I can’t fix it. Does anyone know how to help?
:P
Thanks

Hmmm, try to make ur project smaller by replacing some frames with png’s, and then try exporting it on the test editor.

I have been using the test editor. It won’t work on either one, and I don’t think I can make it smaller, because its a big animation.

Hmm, I tried looking that up, and it looks like that it has to do with chrome’s memory.

Here's how to see memory (I use a Chromebook, so don't know how this might work on another device)

Looks like I’m not using a lotta memory

I use a chromebook, so my chrome memory is stronger, but since ur on windows (assuming you are), I think there might be three methods to try:

  • 1: Use a different browser for now

  • 2: Go full screen (alt+enter) and try screen recording

  • 3: Share the file as a .wick and I try to export it to a .mp4

Nah I gave up I gonna combine a gif and audio to make a mp4

it failed so I don’t know what to do…

When you say it’s a big animation, do you mean it has a lot of frames? Because one thing that comes to mind would be to split your animation into separate parts, and then combine the parts yourself using a video editor like windows movie maker. If your animation is, say, 1000 frames long, you could try exporting only 100 frames at a time. If the file size is due to large images, that method might work for that also. I don’t know what that would do to the sound though. If it gets messed up I suppose you could try to export just videos and then add the sound afterward.

well yeah its 3000 frames long… thats what i should probably do so yeah.

plus 13 relatively full layers
:P

Personally I tried exporting an .mp4 with 1000 frames, and it worked for me. Granted, I just drew a circle and made it stay on the screen for 1000 frames. But this means you can potentially try exporting 1000 frames at a time, only the results might be dependent on your project files and your computer. On a side note, I don’t think there’s any way to specify to Wick if you only want to export certain frames from your project, so you’d have to manually split it. Probably by copying your file a few times and naming the copies part1, part2, part3, then in each part you delete some frames. So part1 would only have frames 1-1000, part2 would have 1001-2000, etc. And if that doesn’t work, you might have to go even smaller.

yeah I was able to export it when it was 2000, but it won’t work anymore so I guess thats where i start :P

nvm theres a downloadable editor. That should halp :P
