replace footage with multiple files

[mathew lisett] “how do i import or replace footage with multiple files? , as i cant find a single bit of software which will join mov files without re doign the encoding.”

What are the specs for your media — frame size, frame rate, and codecs? Are they all uniform?

very simply, becuase yet again for some reason quicktime png will nto encode say past 30 mins of footage no matter how much space you have. I encoded into sections.

so its the same footage as before 1280 res 23.976fps. So what i was trying to do was join the mopv files together without re encoding the lot.

durign the time of waitign for your replies, i had come across allok video joiner and it worked a treat, although did take 8 blooming hours to join the files.

but just so i know for next time, is there a way to import the seperate files and replace the footage in the project?

becuase i remmber you telling me that it was best to have the file format as mov loselsss png or animation for the errors togo away when doing the pre rednering, hence why ive been doign all this.

and the file going to mov png is hd mpeg frmat which you stated didnt work well with ae when doign the pre rendering.

and yeah i dont understand why the encoding is having such an issue encoding qith quicktime png or animation going past 30 mins of footage since the hdd’s on my system are all ntfs.
