Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro 4GB file limit

  • 4GB file limit

    Posted by Chris on May 1, 2006 at 9:20 am

    Would anyone have any idea why I can’t create files over 4Gb from Premiere Pro 2, even though all my drives are NTFS formatted?

    (4Gb Ram / P3.2 Dual Core x2 / FIRE GL V7100)

    Thanks

    What kind (codec) of file are you trying to create? Some codecs have a 2 or 4 GB file size limits regardless of the file system..

    Hi Mike – It’s a Quicktime movie I need to create. I’m using tried various codecs – Animation / png / you name it.

    Wasn’t aware this was a problem with Quicktime…?

    Thanks

    I have not tried it, but for a codec to exceed 4 gb file size it needs to be Open DML. I suspect QT DV is.

    I’ve written 12 GB QuickTime MJPEG-B files onto NTFS disks using QT 5 on Windows NT. I don’t it’s the codec that will impose a limit on file size; that’s usually the job of the file system or file type. Are you sure the disk you’re writing to is NTFS? Does premiere read and/or write other media files over 4 GB?
