Export timeline probs in Prem 6

Bermondsey · #1 (**permalink**) 07-02-2006, 10:36 PM

Only 18+ minutes get exported out of the 57+ minutes when I try to expoort the timeline.
Any clues as to why this is happening?

are you exporting the work area or the entire sequence?

Have you ever done one this long that worked and suddenly it failed this time? What OS do you have? How old and/or what type of computer?

Hi Evereddie
I've done one that's 45 minutes long before, with no problems, and this time I am using an external hard drive for extra memory.
I'm using Windows XP.
It exports fine, but then stops at 18:52! And I cannot see any reason why.

Is your external disc formatted as NTFS? If it is FAT could restrict the size of the generated file.

Thanks for that pepvellot. Yes, the external drive is FAT32, but there is 54 GB free space out of 149, and I would've thought that plenty.
I did notice that my captured clips were registering as 145,933(for example) MB, extraordinary amounts, and I know that can't be right.

Hi Komatoast
At first I exported Entire Project. When that didn't work I exported Work Area, with the same results.

Fat 32 file system has a limit of 2 gigs unless some type of drive overlay software is used. Don't know if that helps.

Yes Evereddie, you rigth, sorry but I not explained completely why. I believe system stops to writing after this size due to this formating FAT 32.

If you change to NTFS format you will be capabel to write bigger files. If you change to NTFS be careful to backup all information you have in this external disc.
