Ryclark's question is right on, but I wanted to mention that the computer/RAM ought not to be the problem (although you could always put up the system monitor while exporting to verify that) -- that's a pretty decent computer.

.wav files are limited to a maximum of 2GB regardless of operating system due to the 32bit addressing of the format. Don't know if the same applies to .mov audio files. .W64 are basically PCM files similar to .wav that get round the size limit.

Same Problem here and it even get worse!

-> Task: Import a feature 5.1 Audio mix from Audition CS6 into Premiere CS6 (resulting audio file is > 4GB)

-> Result:

1. Export the feature 5.1 mix as 48KHz 24Bit 5.1 RF64 Broadcast WAV  --> File is valid but Premeiere can't import RF64 Broadcast WAV (Error on import: unknown header)

2. Export the feature 5.1 mix as 48KHz 24Bit PCM MOV --> Every Audition export >4GB results in a corrupted MOV file with audio glitches at the same position.

RF64 Broadcast WAV & PCM MOV are the only file Formats supporting larger than 4GB audio.

The attempt to import a mixdown Audition XML into Premiere failed because Audition creates RF64 Broadcast WAV that Premiere doesn't read.

-> My Config: Win7 X64, CS6 (all current Updates), Corei7, 12GB Ram

-> Task: Export WAV uncompressed 5.1 48KHz 24Bit from a 5.1 Adobe Premiere sequence

-> Result: "Error compiling Movie: Unknown Error"

That has worked in the past with CS5.5

--> If I export as 16bit from Premiere it will work but that doesn't help because I need at least a 24bit export...

Whats going on there??

Hi,

it seems to be like this:

1. Adobe Audition works well with RF64 Broadcast WAV larger 4GB.

2. Adobe Audition renders Audio Glitches into all PCM MOV files larger 4GB

3. Adobe Premiere doesn't work with RF64 Broadcast WAV

4. Adobe Premiere renders PCM MOV files larger 4GB well.

Hmm workflow between Audition & Premiere?

Is anybody out there with a solution how to deal with such situations where you have to handle large 5.1 mixes?

Instead of importing one wav file back into Premeiere I've exported discrete channels from Audition and setup a new 5.1 mix in Premeiere - doesn't like this because you easily can set something wrong and I only have to insert the final 5.1 mix from the sound studio without changing anything.

Then I have to export a audio only PCM MOV from Premeiere to open it again in Audion change bitdeep to 24bit again - and export the needed 5.1 broadcast wav channels.

It's a bit overcoplicated I feel...

@_durin_: found also audio spikes in >4GB 5.1 Premiere exports to MOV audio only - uncompressed 5.1 - 48KHz - at all bit deep's incl. 32bit float...

so this realy seems to be a Quicktime thing... :-(

my config: Win7 X64, CS6 all patches, Quicktime: v7.7.2 (1680.56)

--> The audio spikes don't appear if Premiere is exporting Video+Audio - but with audio only MOV export we have the same behaviour like in Audition.

edit: 2012-06-06 - not - also video+audio has corrupt audio peaks :-(
