Problems Uploading to Streamline

[Scott Ritchie]

I've been trying to upload our animation to Autodesk Streamline, but it always times out. The file is 118MB, well under the 250MB limit.

Any suggestions?

what about start sending it now?! hauhauua or maybe you could try decrease the number of keyframes of your video or adjust better the codec.....

There might be a connection timeout / browser timeout in whatever browser you're using. I uploaded my animation (94 MB) using firefox with no hassles. Or somewhere along the line from your computer to the streamline, there might be some weird router thing that's limiting connection times.

After a few more tries we finally got it to upload and tested it on a few different computers.

I'm feeling good now, because the file became messed up when we uploaded it last year we essentially didn't get to compete too much.

If anyone else is having trouble, just be persistant, there are going to be a lot of people trying to upload in the next few days.

how much quality should i set it to if im compressing with cinepak to keep the video under 250 meg?

First I couldn't connect for several hours, then I got an ACOUNT EXCEEDS LIMIT ERROR

Try again if you need to, looks like they fixed it.

I'm so late I'm putting the animation in whether or not it gets judged!
We worked too hard on this to just walk away!

Teams,
We have cleared up a disk space issue, and uploading should
run smoothly now.

If you have any issues, please contact Autodesk support.

If we missed the deadline, how long do we have?

Hi Kevin,
I uploaded your file finally using the Streamline ProjectPoint 6.1.1240.3 software. The program compressed your file from 76MB to 48MB for the upload. However, it took several attempts for this to work. Streamline I noticed, if the transfer rate was 0 kB/sec for about 30 seconds are longer it would interrupt the connection and the transfer. It would allow you to try again.

About the fourth time it worked. Whew!!

The web upload that we tried didn't reveal this info to us...just the standard default I.E. page error message.

Try downloading this file to see if it works for you.

Do you know if Autodesk will extend the deadline, because of the problems many teams had uploading their entries to Streamline?

we handed in our animation on streamline a day early, the Monday before it was due, and I made sure that the animation worked within Streamline. However, when i checked back on Tuesday, our animation file size was 0kb... So i uploaded the animation again even though it was after 8a.m.

I hope we won't get penalized for that...
