Uncompressed Output Problems?

#1

Hello all - I’ve been using Combustion for a year now, and have gotten pretty good at it. However, from the beginning, whenever I would output to Uncompressed Quicktime format, the file would come out unreadable for AdobePremiere or FinalCut - it would say that the file has something odd like “5 frames each lasting 365/16 seconds” or some other nonsense like that.

Has anyone else run into this problem? I know it’s happened to my colleagues several times, and I’m still getting the problem with the latest versions of both combustion (4) and premiere (pro).

I have of course, just outputted to uncompressed tifs instead and am OK with that, I’m just curious if this is a documented problem and if there is anything I can do to fix it - I do prefer one file to 10000 1mb ones.

Thanks a lot.

Hey Storm,

I have had the same problems with rendering either uncompressed or lossless compressed (animation compression) .mov files. For some reason, Premiere or Premiere Pro doesn’t like QuickTime files from Combustion. I have had the same problem with QuickTime files that have even been rendered from After Effects. Just to remove alot of the fuss, I just started to render uncompressed AVI. I have not had a problem sense. The only problem I have encountered is running out of storage space!

I would like to use QuickTimes with Premiere, but I guess that I will have to wait until I get a Power MAC, so I can edit with Final Cut Pro!

I hope this helps,

JB…
