Exporting Reference movie with Timecode
I’m trying to export a reference movie of 50 minute sequence of 720PN24 footage with a timecode reader filter.
I was able to export a reference movie of the sequence w/o the timecode, but when i nest that sequence to add the timecode reader, the movie exports as a self contained quicktime (Or about 8 of them at 2 gigs a piece to be specific).I most certainly have not checked the ‘make movie self contained’ box..
where may I be going wrong?

Did you re-render after applying the timecode filter?
And why 2 Gig segments? Is that what you want? If not, you need to reformat your output drive as HFS+ to get around the 2 GB/file limit.

I did not re-render after applying the timecode filter, as I did not get any red or green bar appear on the timeline.. It makes sense that the footage
must be fully rendered to make a reference file movie, as the reference quicktime would need rendered files to refer to.Would it still need to be rendered even though it does not display a need to render?.. do my real time playback settings have anything to do with this?
The harddrive i’m outputting to is FAT32, I have it setup that way because we needed it to transfer data to/from some PCs.

That’s why its breaking your project into 2gb segments, its a FAT32 file size limitation.

As you surmised, whenever you apply any filter, effect or transition you must render regardless of whether you see “render bars”. Have you got all items checked in the first 2 “Render…” submenus in the Sequence menu? If not, check them, one by one. Hope that helps.
