Perfect Daniel. Solved the issue. Thank you do much for your quick response!

So then what you are saying is QT is NOT an open DML file type and thus IS limited to 4 GB in WINDOWS but can exceed 4 GB in the MAC platform? If true it is then both a file type AND platform issue?

Interesting that Adobe says that they corrected the problem in CS3. I assume they are talking about the windows platform. If that assumption holds to be true then it WOULDN’T be a file type or platform issue, or if it IS then Adobe has figured out a way around it?

Thanks guys. Looks like from my tests that non-compressed AVI or QT look about the same (which you are right in theory they should). HOWEVER, on the QT export it will NOT let me go past 4 GB. I have read elsewhere that this IS a limitation with PPro 2.0. It is not a FAT or NTSF issue but rather a PPRo 2.0 issue. Adobe says to upgrade to CS3. Anyone else have this problem with QT file size export limit?

Thanks

Thanks so much. Yes we are doing 48khz output

Thanks Jon. Good to know CS3 has that feature. Will be sure to check it out when we upgrade. In the interim we will try some of the other suggestions. Thanks again for your responses.

Thanks Jon and Harm for the advise. Some good thoughts. Harm on your response are you saying that CS3 does re-mapping in Premier Pro or are you still referring to AE but CS3 makes time mapping a lot easier in AE?

Thanks

Thanks so much John. I’ll pass this on to my FCP guys and see what we can come up with. Appreciate all the help and advice.

Thanks Jon for the tips.

We actually are working with “progressive” footage (shot in 720P HDV and imported through Cineform Aspect HD). So do we still need to de-interlace?

No we have not turned off blend frames. We could try that.

The final slow mo is soft, like it is out of focus.

Thanks Jon

Thanks. Sounds a little bit like when you “re-interpret” in Premiere. So if we do what you are saying we should be able to export directly to Digibeta from the FCP timeline without having to re-render the AVI? So realtime export to Digibeta? Do we have to set the FCP project up as an anamorphic project or anything?
