  avid crashing whilst making long quicktime

  Posted by Cutters on November 8, 2007 at 10:23 pm

  hey guys

  I am working on an mac based avid adrenalin 2.6.4, on a two hour sequence. I am trying to make a quicktime (7.1.5) it keeps crashing and giving me error -2034, does anybody know what is going on?

  I am exporting using a h.264 encoder or sorenson 3

  Is my sequence corrupt? is it just too long? please can someone assist me as time is of the essence, which I am sure you have heard a million times.

  Many thanks in adavance

  Joel

  Been in your shoes several times before and, unfortunately, don’t have any magic answers. But here’s a few things I’d recommend:

  — If you have Sorenson Squeeze installed, try exporting a QuickTime reference and then running it through squeeze.
  — If you’re trying to export to a networked drive, try exporting to your local drive.
  — If you can’t get either of those options to work, try splitting it into smaller sequences and then recombine the smaller QuickTime files into 1 using QuickTime Pro.

  Hopefully that helps.

  Joel,

  I’m willing to bet that you’re on a fat32 drive and that you’re running into a 2gb limit.

  Best,
