I’m pretty sure I’ve got many a video clip here that exceeds the 4gig limit you speak of mike. Actually I’m looking at an recoded vob file to dv.avi that is 12Gig. The NTFS file structure allows you to have massive file sizes unlike the older FAT & FAT32 file structures. Size shouldn’t really be the issue… 😉
How are you making the ISO? Why ISO? What’s it for? If it is a DVD ISO then do it from EncoreDVD. It should come out fine. I have done ISOs from PPro2 before but not 2hrs long. Try EncoreDVD.
Let me know how it turns out.
– Hey mike. -
Thanks mike. Been working on my first tutorial tonight actually.

is this a new problem? have you been working from this fine before? if you have upgraded something recently it may have played with the monitor overlay playback settings. Or check that the playback settings are set to external device none. play with the playback settings and see if that corrects your problem. Finally try to open another project. If it works open an new one. Test it. if it works too, import the project that was having the problem. it should correct itself. If nothing here works, try uninstalling PPro and reinstalling it.
If you are using a dedicated video hardware like Matrox, uninstall that first, then ppro then reinstall ppro 1st, matrox (whatever) 2nd.

If you have already edited the whole thing in the wrong interlace dominance you can open a new project setup with the correct field properties. Now import the edited project into the new one. Copy and paste the whole contents of your edit into the new sequence, the field issue should then be resolved. If there are further prob’s we know its not the field dominance.

Spicediver, can you post a frame of this error so I can better understand what you mean when you sat combining horizontal lines. What version of PPro are you editing in also.
– this might seem like a is the power plugged in question…
are you exporting the dv.avi file with the same project format as your PPro project? ie: 29.97fps not 23.96 NTSC, lower field…

The flickering could be from an interlacing issue. It could be the effect itself has a bug in the Matrox plugin. Have you tried to chat about it in their group discussions? Otherwise here are a couple of work around ideas:
-If you have the RT.x2 you should be able to hook up a tv to the PPro timeline in the output breakout box. Use that as your guide to how the effect is working.
– Matrox has WYSIWYG technology so if you are seeing it happen through a monitor connected to the breakout box from PPro timeline it will most likely be there on export.
– Is it a Matrox effect? Or PPro? Try one then the other to see if they both have the same problem.
– Blur the clip that is transitioned (got the problem) just a little. As a test.
– Deinterlace the parts of the clips that have the transition applied to them.
– make the effect shorter. See if speeding it up makes it less noticeable.
– Matrox used to have it’s own encoding interface for MPEG-2, it was under export to matrox… Try that for the encode.If none of this helps, tell me what your clips info is:
frame rate, tranistion type/length, DV/HDV, Project info (like frame rate, field domination (upper/lower), PAL/NTSC. Speed changes? Is it part of a nested sequence.Cheers, Jon Barrie

Is there any reason you’d prefer to render out in RGB? It’s extemely common for animation to work with image sequences of either TGA, TIF, or PNG. These codecs are lossless and can hold an alpha channel in 32bit mode. A major benefit of image sequences is that if you stop rendering for whatever reason (blackout) you can pick up where you left off. Whereas an avi or mov file is cut short and you need to edit them together. (A blackout would lose the whole mov or avi – no time wrap the rendered frames).

Great to hear you got it working. 🙂
The Alpha channel can be a cheeky little bugger. Opening in AE and playing with the alpha settings there usually lets me know exactly what’s happening.

Playing before a clip in the timeline should work fine. I’d say Premiere has gotten odd from the BM card drivers – how it connects to the timeline to playback stuff without rendering. Reinstall the whole Suite to be safe. I know it takes hours. Try just reinstalling only Premiere Pro and see how that goes. Otherwise reinstall the lot. I tend to search on the net for other people to install any updates and see how they’ve faired before I update any software (esp. if it’s working perfectly already). Good Luck

It common to have the quality setting in the program monitor to automatic or draft and not know it. Make sure it’s set to High for a proper representation of your final render inside the timeline. If the DV codec render is causing the issue make a new project from the custom tab and make an Windows AVI with no compression in the compressor section of video. It will keep your uncommpressed clip quality. If you are going out to SD tape or TV MPEG (DVD or Broadcast) the Quality won’t show up on a TV Screen working in DV. Comp screens always show nasties that aren’t there on a TV. HD LCD is a different story.
