Three things I would try: - try setting the filename of the target image, as opposed to using "put url" - save the stack each time after exporting 10 to 20 images or so - if saving every so often doesn't do anything, try deleting the image object, and creating a brand new one, and saving, as opposed to putting empty into the existing image Hope one of these helps.
