Summary:
Animation Render crashes after random amount of frames
Detailed description
WHAT I DID

I used the Compositor to process some video file (Full-HD), meaning I loaded it into the node editor, added some nodes and finally some composite-output-node. Then I set animation start to 1 and end to 5067 (duration of the movie) and hit "animation".

RESULT

Blender renders some Frames (PNGs) and at some random frame-number, it crashes.

The first time I tried, it crashed at frame 1426. To make sure it's no problem with that frame, I started the process again, starting at frame 1425, and this time Blender rendered until frame 1972 (and so on, sometimes only a few frames, sometimes a few hundred). The pattern when it crashes seems totally random. There is no filling of the RAM (stays around 300 MiB) or something similar, Blender just closes.

BACKTRACE

I did some Backtrace (attached) with the following Build:

Revision: 27985
config:
WITH_BF_FFMPEG = 'true'
BF_FFMPEG_LIB = 'avformat avcodec avutil xvidcore ogg faac faad x264 mp3lame vorbis theora vorbisenc swscale avdevice'
WITH_BF_OPENAL = 'true'
WITH_BF_GAMEENGINE='true'
WITH_BF_FFTW3 = 'true'
WITH_BF_PLAYER='false'
WITH_BF_VERSE='false'
WITH_BF_YAFRAY='false'
WITH_BF_OPENMP='false'
BF_PYTHON_VERSION = '3.1'
WITH_BF_JACK = 'true'
BF_DEBUG= '1'

  • Thanks for the backtrace. Can you please attach a test file that can be used to repeat this bug?

  • Feeding the bugrepro-compotest.blend with the official big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov should work (sorry I found no better way to reproduce it without so much data to download).

  • I am having the same problem here on my macbook. When rendering to PNGs* (only 900 Frames total) it crashes randomly as described above. I do have the same problem when rendering to H.264 Codec (Avi Container) but crashing after 10-30 Frames already.
    I reproduced this several times (it's funny that I get two different crash reports from Mac OS X which are not related to the output format - it doesn't matter if I am rendering to frames or to AVI, I can have both crash reports for each)

    *one more thing, don't know if this is related to that, a few Frames didn't get a file extension!?

    This bug report seems very old, I hope it's still open and I am not posting wrong here.

  • I've been experiencing the crash in the above crash1.rtf log too here on 10.6.4, nvidia 8600m. I suspect it my be a bug in apple's opengl driver, but not 100% sure.

    Looks like the same crash in the original report.

  • Matt Ebb: Since my original report is from an Ubuntu Linux System, I don't think it's only OSX.

  • I've been rendering many frames (quicktime movie input) through the nodesystem lately to PNG Sequences and didn't run into a single crash.

    Was this bug already fixed somewhere?

  • There were indeed some changes related to similar issues. There were reported crashes with several parts of Blender wanting to draw the same image buffer. These have been fixed. Could the original report re-test with current SVN? Thanks.

  • It seems like it doesn't happen with current SVN. Because it's only randomly reproducable, I can't tell for sure, but I'm not able to make it crash at the moment.

  • Hi Julian,

    Blender's UI is alive in 2.5 while rendering, there were (are still) issues with drawing updates while rendering progressed. There's a couple of ideas to make this more stable, part of our wiki todo list.
    In general it's advised to always render animations in background mode (terminal, blender -b etc). That's not only more stable, but also quite faster.
