Resolution in Action and Desktop?

[worldofmaya_vb]

Hi all!
Does anyone of know what the highest resolution is that you can use in inferno? I tried to work with images with an horziontal resolution of 4096px. This shouldn’t be a problem?!? The same image with 3200px works just fine. The problem is, you only see a invalid on the desktop and action doesn’t load the clip on the layer… Preview when importating and using Play works just fine. I’m using inferno 5 on an Onyx2ir system.
thanks for any feedback,
Klaus

I once needed to use a hi-res satellite image of 20,000 pixels in a project. I tried importing it into inferno(5.5.4) onyx2. CRASH!!!
I then downsized it to different resolutions and tried importing. Each time the machine crashed, untill i reached to 4,000 pixels. At this size it imported into inferno but everytime i exited an action and got back in the image would get corrupted. Finally it worked fine at 3,200 pixels.
I simultaniously tried the same in combustion, it worked fine at 10,000 pixels, although it was very very slow. 😆

I imported a 3600px jpeg version with any problem… doing the same with higher or even the same resolution and TGA files produced a bad crash. The whole system locked and I had to reboot it… I also tried using proxys… than you can work with no problem but as soon as rendering begins I got an memory error 🙁 I’ll try to find another way to create this…
by the way… I also created a satellite shot… you know these kind of animated map things… worked great with an 15kpixel image in after effects… rendering was a little bit slow… but editing was really great!

If you try and import something really huge, wait a while and it should tell you in the console window what the maximum frame size is. For me it says 33553920, which I assume is in bytes, which gives you about 3344×3344 at 8 bits per component RGB. Try Soft Importing if you can, I just managed to do an 80 megapixel (!) .jpg soft import but I couldn’t output it from the colour corrector because the frame was too large again, you might be able to pan around it with Resize.

Hi!
Great tip! I’ve done it that way, I used proxys for the preview stage, processing seams to work now without memory error…
Thanks for your help,
Klaus
