Saving Final Movie in Adobe Premier ???

[j4mes_bond25]

I'm using Adobe Premier Pro. & have finished editing my whole movie, which is around 1 hours & 28 minutes. I've dragged the bar within "TimeLine" window all the way to 1 hour & 28 minutes & then chose "Sequence & Render Work Area". Finally, in order to save it as an "avi" movie file, I went to "File & then Export & chosen Movie".

However, after a while I get the error message saying "Error Complining Movie. Disk Fulled". I wonder, if anyone around could possibly help me understanding this error & what needs to be done to save the movie, so I can burn it on the DVD later on.

All helps would be greatly appreciated.

It means you do not have enough disk spce to create the final movie. Either save it to a different disk, or clean up some space.

Dont forget you have all your original AVI's and you are just about to double your volume with this "new" final copy you have created.

Also where are your temp files going? Could be your C drive? which in my case is the smallest drive I have (until I wised up) and I kept clogging up the whole operation. Possibly your attempts have added to the temp files & you have used up way more space than even thought.

I'd be doing what gun1inger says and burn off stuff to make room.I'd even add a defrag of disks to assist in a smoother creation.

Thanks for your reply, however, I've STILL 60GB of space spare within my hard drive out of 146, so around 87GB has been used & surely a movie of around 1 hour & 28 minutes, shouldn't need as much as 60GB of space, I should imagine ???

While I'm here, could I also ask the difference between "To export a sequence as a file" & "To export a sequence as a file using the Adobe Media Encoder", when the next stage is merely to burn the whole movie onto a DVD ???

Video files do take a lot of space. Plus if you only have 1 hd, you have temp files that are constantly taking up space (swap file), and then releasing it.
Your steps for creating a video are 1. Capture video. 2. edit video. 3. Encode video. 4. Author menu. 5. Burn

I think what's probably happening is that you're saving in the wrong format. Most video programs default to "RGB UNCOMPRESSED" video mode, which takes a hellacious amount of space -- about 40 gigs per hour. You want to make sure that your SAVE AS option is set up with DV VIDEO instead of RGB UNCOMPRESSED. DV type 2 requies only 13 gigs per hour.

You might need to purchase a software DV codec. I use the Mainconcept DV codec, which only costs $50 from Mainconcept. Excellent codec, one of the best on the market, and I can use it to encode real-time video on my cheapo video capture card too, which drastically improved the video quality there as well.

After spending hours & hours of my time, I finally managed to get what I wanted, UNTIL I used Nero & realised that the video is coming about 50 min. & the sound is 1 hours & 28 min. The actual work was 1 hour & 28 min in Adobe, so I wonder why am I ONLY getting video of 50 min.

This is how it looks like, as in attachment. Video, around 50 min & Audio around 1 hour & 28 min, instead of BOTH being as long as 1 hour & 28 min.

Is it due to the limitation of Nero, which cannot take more than an hour of video ???[/img]

If your video is 1 hour 28 minutes and that is all on your timeline dont mess with the timeline bar. This will only cause trouble. Just export the whole movie and you will have a lot less problems.
