Happy Christmas everyone. Some festive advice would be much appreciated. Was trying to export a short animation from CTA4 (AVI, 4k, 218 frames at 30 fps) when I got a message saying FAILED TO EXPORT STEREO VIDEO. THE EXPORT FILE SIZE LARGER THAN 2GB. PLEASE REDUCE THE RESOLUTION, FRAME RATE OR PROJECT LENGTH." This was quickly followed by MEDIA EXPORT FAILED. THE SELECTED CODEC DOES NOT SUPPORT THE CURRENT SETTINGS.
This has come as a surprise, especially as this clip is by no means the longest of the many I have completed recently. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what is going on?

Have installed the codec, but, alas, the issue persists.
I do not understand how the quality of the 4k image can be too high. CA4 exports in 4k and my system is built to cope with 4k, so why should this suddenly happen? I am also puzzled at the prospect of rendering the clip in segments... it is short as it is.
Any advice would be welcome!

Are you choosing Uncompressed AVI as the export format? If so that will be the issue because the file size of Uncompressed AVI is huge, especially  at 4K.

Try using a codec to reduce the file size, or alternatively use Sequence Image PNG as the export format and then compile the images together in a video editor afterwards.
