External encoder exited with error 1

Offline
#1 erikwie
After upgrading from trial to personal license I wanted to try rendering a 4K timlapse instead of 1080P

I Export from LR 5.7.1 using the LRTimeLapse export plugin. LRTimeLapse starts when the export is complete and I get a Render Video dialog box.

It suggests 4K as output size and I keep everyting else as default. (24 fps. 1:1 speed. Quality high) and I do not check for any post prosessing.
Then I click on the Render video button and it starts to work, but it rather soon stops with an error message that says the external encoder har errors.

The same video renders all fine in 1080P. In 3K it renders and completes without errors, but I am unable to playback the final file. Windows media player sais it doesn't support the filetype or codec, but that should be the same as in 1080p i thought.

You are using a 32 bit java that will not provide enough memory.
Solution: Uninstall all java instances via control panel / add/remove programs, then install the latest 64 bit java from here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Check the LRTimelapse settings, tab external tools, make sure the encoder is set to "ffmpeg64.exe" not "ffmpeg.exe".
Restart LRTimelapse.
