saving edited video — PLEASE HELP
Hi, this is my second post, no one responded to my first. i am new on premiere and was a linear editor. I have my edited version of my video but for some reason it will not save on CD or flash drive. I keep getting cannot save to this location. What could be the problem? do I save a copy or do I export…I still seem to have an error. the preview of what I edited works just fine, I just seem to not be able to save this file to where I want to without getting an error. Please Help the problem is not a matter disk space the video on own now is only one minute long and I am trying to put that on empty 5 gig flash.

Flash drives typically use a file system called “FAT” (File Allocation Table). It’s an old file system, and won’t save a file larger than 2 GB. I’ve been bitten by that before.
You can write up to about 4.5 GB to a data-DVD instead of a video-DVD. Same disc media, but a different file format. If you have a DVD-burner on your machine, it’s about as involved as doing a “copy”.
Otherwise, you might want to get a couple of external USB or Firewire hard drives. They are pretty cheap these days. Get two, because you don’t want to trust just one. Get a large capacity, and you can probably back up your original captured footage as well.-jeff

when I make a copy do I export to a CD or do I save a copy as, I am not sure exactly what the right saving procedure is, if disk space is not an issue.

If you wish to make a copy of the edited master, I’d export to your hard drive via an uncompressed format (or DV, if that’s what your mastering to). Then copy that file to the backup media.

Why don’t you export the timeline edit as a Microsoft AVI, and then transfer to the flash drive? (Or use burning software to copy onto a CD or DVD.)

it kept rejecting the CD burning. Saying it cannot save to this location. Same with a flash. it would save on the hard drive but would only work if I placed the original video on CD into the drive as I was viewing the edited version. Does the raw footage have to be on the same drive as the edited version. this seems to be the problem somewhat.
