Hello, hello—long-time user, first-time poster.

I’m working in 1920x1080 HD, and for the first time I’ve come up against a problem where my rendered Image files are larger than 2 GB, and I can’t find a way to deal with them—AfterEffects, ImagePlayer and QuickTime all go fishy when I try to bring in the files.  All files less than 2 GB in size are working peachy-keen (same content and settings, just a different duration).

Renderama wouldn’t stitch the movies so I rendered them as standalone sequences on a single machine, but the resulting files are still too big for Image-aware apps to swallow.

Is there a workaround?  An updated version of the Image/QuickTime plug-in?

I’m using EIAS 7.0.1 running under Leopard 10.5.2 with QuickTime 7.4.5 and AfterEffects 8.0.2.27.

Any insights or suggestions appreciated—time is of the essence!

Thanks.

The latest QT importer for the image format imports image files that are greater than 2gb.  http://telegraphics.com.au/sw

All of the native importers in After Effects have a 2GB file size limit. But, instead of doing a regular add command to bring the file in, you can add the Image file as QT (separate command in AE) and then it will import.
