Premier 6.0 help

Recommended Posts

I have about a 29 min. video I am working with in premier. I can export it to tape just fine, but when I try to export it as a movie to make an AVI file it only exports the first 179 frames. I can not find anywhere that limits the size to export. I have the settings to export the entire project not just the current workspace so the export should not depend on where I have markers set.

Already checked that. Plus the export setting I am using doesnt reqire that those markers are set. You can export either the workspace which is where you need to set the markers or the entire project in which case it should not matter where they are set. At least this is how I understand it.

Are you exporting to the correct drive, and not somewhere on your c-drive)?
Have you cleaned out all the old preview files?
Try this, export to tape, then recapture, see what happens....

Could be that you are exporting as an uncompressed AVI, which tends to be HUGE in filesize, and usualy quits after it reaches 1 or 2 gigs..?

Yes this is the case. But why would it quit after reaching a particular size. Also I have tried several times. When the little export estimated time till finished screen comes up it always says that 179 frames will be exported. This is the strange part. Why exactly 179 frames every time?

This is a filesystem limit, if you're using FAT32, its limit is (2^32)-1 bytes, or one byte less than a full 4GB. If you're curious, check this out. Unless you change your partition to NTFS using software like Partition Magic, you have few choices left... compress the output, or instead of exporting the whole thing, you'll have to do it in chunks.

Exporting uncompressed video is pretty useless, as only few PC's are capable of playing uncompressed video. And a 10 minute video would probably take up your 80 gig Harddrive:S

A better (easyer) option would be to use export>adobe premiere MPEG encoder, and export you video to an MPEG2 file (or use an MPEG2 or MPG1 external encoder)
Then you can burn it on a DVD or burn it on a normal CD as an VideoCD or S-VCD (depending on how you encoded it)

For saving as an .avi without loosing quality, and be able to playback and export to your camera. select and Avi, and then in the tab 'video-codecs' choose the DV codec your capture-board or fire-wire card uses.

Comon ones are...Microsoft DV/Fast DV?Miro DC30 MJPEG/or use any other software MJPEG codec (PicVideo is a good one)

change your partition to NTFS using software like Partition Magic



Or using the convert.exe utility (built in to NT4, 2000 and XP as far as I know)...


Try something like "convert C: /FS:NTFS" or "convert /?" from a command-line.


(I'm not sure how if the utility can convert from FAT32)

yes you can convert from FAT32 to NTFS. You cannot, however, go back (without a reformat). Personally I think if you're running a 2000/xp system and don't have to access anything on the NTFS system from a dual boot os on the same machine, there's no reason not to switch.
