🔍 Troubleshooting

⚠️ Common Issues

Export fails silently

Check output path permissions and available disk space.

Large file sizes

Reduce resolution, FPS, or enable compression.

Animation not playing

Verify frame range settings and keyframes.

🐌 Performance Issues

Slow export times

Reduce scene complexity or use GPU acceleration.

Memory errors

Lower resolution or split long animations.

Blender crashes

Update Blender and check system requirements.

🎨 Quality Issues

Poor image quality

Increase compression quality or use PNG format.

Jerky animation

Increase frame rate or improve keyframe timing.

Color banding

Use higher bit depth or adjust lighting setup.
