Making Video Files over 4gb visible in PM
(1/1)
tmronin:
Hi there!
I use PM every day for stills but am shooting more and more video lately - most of my files are under 4gb but sometimes they go over (60fps ProRes HQ) and they don't even show up in PM. This is a bit annoying because I use PM for 99.99% of my image/work file needs (renaming, sorting, culling, etc) and not having files show up in list view makes that impossible.
Thanks!

PM6 is in development and we've made it a 64-bit application. It can now handle file sizes over 4 GB in size. We can't easily back port that effort to PM5 however.

no worries! as long as it's on the roadmap, I'm good. Thanks Kirk!

I'm surprised this hasn't been addressed yet.
It is a hassle to use another program to deal with these files and I don't trust Photo Mechanic to ingest video anymore.
I'm looking forward to PM6!
tmronin:
well, Hedge for Mac is really awesome for video file ingestion (if you use mac)...but it isn't cheap. Then i use the Mac OS "rename files" command but this is a kludge and not the way I want my workflow to work. So...yeah, bring on PM6.
I'm gonna stick with Hedge for my video file transfer needs (its designed for DIT work and has built-in checksum and error checking for large video files) but I use PM for all my file manipulation tasks and would love to keep my workflow in place.
