Photoshop CC 2018 won't render video

Question

Hello everyone. I'm having the same issue trying to render video out of Photoshop CC 2017 and also the CC 2017. The same message

Appears after a progress bar reaches about 3/4 way through...Could not complete the operation.

I've tried on my iMac running High Sierra, 2tb fusion drive, 40GB RAM and also on a Mac Pro (cylinder), with High Sierra, 32gb RAM, 3tb scratch disk.

Same failed message on both. Originally I tried using a 4k clip of about 30 secs but then tried with a 1080p clip of approx. 30 secs and still

same failure to render.

I did have success with a 10 sec 1080p clip but I need to be able to edit 4k clips of about 20-30secs.

I have Adobe Media Encoder installed and it doesn't matter which render present I use, it still fails.

Any ideas anybody? It sounds like other are having the same issues !

I would think it's a media encoder issue but i'm certainly no expert. I don't have any issues rendering 4k video from Final Cut Pro.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Photoshop handles animation in two completely different ways, video and framed animation but they share the same 'timeline' window.

If you have actual 'video' clips then sure you can edit them and 'render' the edit out in a 'video' format such as .mp4

If you have 'frames' then your only option is to use File > Export > 'Save For Web' and export as an animated 'GIF' format image.
