Exporting Large Files as AVI
Hi,I asked this question a few months ago but the project I was working on fell through. Is it possible to export a project file larger than 2gb or approx 20 minutes long as an AVI file? I use Premier Pro 2.
Thanks

Microsoft DV.AVI and Microsoft AVI with no compression can exceed 4 GB, although there are few good reasons to do either…why do you want to?

I may be off here because I’ve only done a few projects so far in PProCS3, editing several events with large sequences (over 1 hour). I am not sure I like the quality of the direct-to-DVD workflow result thru PProCS3 as well as my old way of DVD production, exporting the uncompressed sequence from the NLE and then rendering to mpeg2 DVD format with TPMGEnc. I did this with Avid Liquid and was happy with the result.
I am still experimenting with the DVD production thru PProCS3, but I regularly export large sequences >20GB uncompressed without problems.
Fumbling my way happily thru the world of HD…

I shot a work conference that runs 60 minutes but when I try to export it as a movie file that I can then burn to DVD I get an error message that the scratch disk is full. Surely there are others who have projects that run over 10 minutes that need to be exported the same as I’m trying to do.

Sure, but don’t try using a FAT32 drive. You need to export to an NTFS drive to go over 2GB. And your cache drives must be NTFS as well. And have lots of room left on them.

Steve, thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.

just to add to the drive info…. most drives can be fat 32 or NTFS, you just have to format them to be one or the other…… this is always a good thing to do as soon as you get the drive, before you fill it with tons of stuff as a fat32….
