Software works great. My 9-year-old just made a 55 second Lego Stop-Motion video, and it's really cool.  I'm having trouble exporting the file however. The software keeps saying that something is wrong when I get to 98% and then it freezes. Is there anything that you can suggest that I do?

Hmm. . . I"m sorry that is happening.  I know that sometimes the export can hang if the animation is too long, but I think yours should be fine.  

How many frames is it?  How much ram is on your machine?  The last few percent of the export dialog is actually encoding the frames into a video.  There might be a chance that it is running out of ram in the process.

One option to try is to duplicate the ENTIRE project folder.  And open one of the copies in Arlo and delete the first half of the animation.  In the other copy you could delete the last half.  And then export each half and put them together in a video editing software.

Another option to try- Arlo has an export as image sequence option.  You could do that and then import the sequence into a video editor.  You would need to change the frame rate of the video project to match the frame rate in Arlo.

Please keep me posted about how things go.  I'm working on an update that I hope to have out soon.

Take care!

Thanks for the reply. It turns out a file was made afterall - I just didn't see it on the desktop initially. I will keep your tip in mind. That makes sense about the RAM, and it sounds like breaking the file up is a good workaround.  Thanks again! 

I'm so glad it worked out after all.  In the future I will be adding the ability to choose where the exported file goes to reduce the confusion.
