issues with batch rendering

hi,
I am using Maya 2013 student version and I am having trouble with this homework assignment. I have just completed the facial animation of blend shapes and have followed along with every tutorial i can find on rendering. when i render out the scene, i open the rendered file in Quicktime, press play, while the Qicktime scrubber moves as it should, the screen remains blank. I thought it might be my lighting, so I added some lighting, adjusted the material used on the faces and did a quick scene render, which looked great! Rendered out the animation again with the same results. I am also using a program called Smart Converter to make the images into a Quicktime movie. Please help.......

So wait, if you open a single image from the batched sequence, it's blank?

once my animation is rendered, i go to the images folder it was sent to where I can find the separate images. While the images are there, I'm lost on how to make it into a video. I was using a program called Smart Converter, and while it did make a Quicktime movie, it only showed a black-screen video

Apart from the higher end programs, the only thing I can think of at the moment in QuickTime Pro, I know that can convert sequences into movies.

Fcheck can do it.


Imagination is more important than knowledge.
