Activity Forums Avid Media Composer AVI files

  • Posted by Lucy Wilkinson on June 16, 2009 at 7:59 am

    Hello everyone, wonder if anyone could help me!
    I’m trying to export a sequence in AVID as an AVI file. The actual process for doing this is simple, but for some reason it won’t export any more than 1.86 gig a time. I have no idea why as there is plenty of space on the drive i’m exporting to. Tried faffing with all of the settings and nothing seems to change!!
    Any ideas?

    Most likely, you’ve run into the dreaded 2gb avi limit imposed by the OS. It has nothing to do with Avid. By chance are you trying to export to an external drive? Make sure it’s formatted for NTFS (not FAT32).
