Final Cut Express - more than four hours

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Captured video 4:01 hours. Tried to add to new Sequence. Error:"The
duration of the resulting sequence would exceed 4 hours"

Seems to be an undocumented limitation...

No wonder it has such a commanding market share.

In volume III of the manual is a glossary. The entry for "sequence"
states that a sequence can be up to 4 hours long.

You are allowed to have multiple sequences in a project, and 'each' of
them can be up to 4 hrs. The limit on a projects media seems to be disc
space.
I have a project with over 10 hrs of video in ~30 min clips, these will
be edited down to under 1/2/ hr.

When I tried the limit the system did not freeze, did not crash, nor did
I get a blue screen of death. Just a polite message that a limit would
be exceeded.

To Mark:

If you captured to one clip you need to make subclips. see manual for
details.
