clip raster tool freezes/ gets stuck on saving raster

[AaronSundquist]

I have about a 3700 acre drone mapping project (standard rgb) that i am working on. I completed the project in 9 different datasets. I merged them together into one mosaic dataset and now need to trim off the excess so it only shows the true property boundaries. When I attempt to use the clip raster tool it will let it run but gets stuck on "saving dataset..." Ive tried it a handful of different ways now to see if i could find a work around. Thinking it could be something simple but pretty stumped on this one. TIA for help.

Your destination raster type and saving location may provide alternate suggestions

Dan can you elaborate on what it means for a saving location to provide alternative suggestions?

[DanPatterson]

If your saving location is a folder, then you can specify a raster as a *.tif if you use the extension on the filename, or if you don't, you get an esri grid.  If you specify a geodatabase as the location, then you get a geodatabase raster.  All have different limitations and potential issues.

Big help, thank you. Prior to selecting the save destination as a folder and adding the .tif extension, I was stuck on "saving dataset" for about 2 hours attempting to write to the project geodatabase.
