I just tried to join 2 animations – the first 3405 frames and the second 6150 frames – and was given an error message that there is a frame limit of 8192. Is this a hard coded setting ? Can I change this ? Does anyone know *why* the limit is 8192 frames ?…I'm sure there's a good reason for this – 8192 doesn't seem like the kind of number that's reached arbitrarily <G> – I'm just looking for some enlightenment. Most of the videos that I'll be making will be in the 5-7 minute range so I'm hoping that there's a "work-around". I was trying to do the final composite thru Razor Pro and it seemed as though it would have put all 9555 frames together for me, but it can back with a "drive full or needs to be optimized" message; – It said nothing about frame limits ?! My immediate work-around was to leave it split (at a convenient spot) and just lay it off to tape from the PAR (with no sound). Anyway….any insights would be helpful. P.S. In case you were thinking of suggesting it – I'm already looking at adding another PAR drive ! T.I.A. Gary 🙂
