    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,
