Been working on psd file for 2 days and now exporting time lapse goes black. Tried reducing file size. Any reason why this would happen?

Hi @folkmother are you still dealing with this? If so, have you tried restarting your iPad?
A few additional questions to help troubleshoot:
You mention you’re working on a PSD file, was this file orginally created in Photoshop? Or in Fresco?
Is the export showing black in the preview for the time lapse AND in the exported file?

Hi Jess Telmanik,

Thank you for the message. I did try restarting. It was a photo changed to PSD 8 bit in Photoshop to bring into Fresco for live paintbrush. Yes it showed going black in lapse preview and exported mp4 file. Some of the things I did different this time in Fresco is rotate the image and load the same PSD again as a layer eventually merged. I have since made another file without rotation or other imports and it worked fine. I am thinking the rotation was the issue as the image goes black right before rotation until the very end of the time lapse where finished file appears. Thank you for any insight to this you might have.

Hello @folkmother

I hope you were able to resolve the problem. If not, please confirm the version of Fresco installed, share a sample file along with a brief screen recording of the problem, so we can check this with the team.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
