Moving video files from adobe premiere on one PC to another
Heya,
I am trying to pull the video file from one of my CS3 projects from the PC hard drive to an external hard drive to move it to a computer that has CS4. It tells me that there is no room for the file. I know there is enough room for the big file on my hard drive so I am trying to figure out what is happeneing here.
I exported another story I was doing into a MPEG II file. But when I brung it into the new PC to edit it looked crappy. so I am hoping someone has the answer for me here. Thanks guys!

If you right click on the drive and hit properties, what do you see under file system?
If it’s not NTFS, you’ll need to format the drive to NTFS first in order to transfer anything larger than 4 GB.

What exactly is NTFS? And if I format the drive won’t that erase everything? I have more than just video on there…

First, yes, you will lose all the files on the disk if your format.
NTSC is a newer file system on hard drives used by windows 2000 and up.
It basically allows for better file management and performance. And it allows for the storage of files over 4 Gigs without splitting them.
If you do have a FAT or FAT 32 system on the drive, I would recommend purchasing a new drive, (who needs backups? :-), then format the current one with the NTFS option.
