Walter, quick question: Adobe Premiere “Exporting”

[Tom Laughlin]

So re-wrapping it in .mov affects whether software runs in 32 or 64 bit? Would it be reasonable to try duplicate the project, open the duplocate as a test, and just relink the media to the original mp4s?

The Quicktime engine is 32-bit. Period. Apple never developed it further. So anytime you do something that utilizes Quicktime Player in any application you’re employing a 32-bit engine. That’s Quicktime. 32-bit, nothing more. PPro is a 64-bit app which can run Quicktime but it does suffer a bit performance wise as it has to engage with Quicktime and its limitations and legacy code. I don’t see it as a good or bad thing, it’s just the nature of Quicktime. Beware of the limitations. And Tim was likely just adding another piece into the reasons for potentially longer renders.

If you left the file as a mp4 PPro would use it’s own engine to process that footage and may be a bit faster (or it may not….again it depends on several factor listed above).
