I have a 93 minute movie I'm trying to put into after effects. It's an avi file uncompressed from premiere pro cs3 and it plays fine outside of after effects.
But when I import it into after effects and try to go past the first 24 minutes or so it brings up an error message saying something like "transport error 17:18" or something like that.
Any idea what might be causing that? I need this done quickly and don't have much time! BTW, I'm using after effects 6.5 (don't have money or time to upgrade).

Okay, you've got to understand that I'm a Mac guy. I could be way off base on this, but here goes:
In the Mac world, you can export Quicktime Movies by Reference. The resulting file size is very small, because there isn't any real media involved -- the movie is just a collection of data pointers that direct (or refer) Quicktime to the REAL media files located elsewhere.
If this Reference Movie is moved to a different computer, or if kept on the same computer, the media reference files are changed for any reason, Quicktime can freak out.
Could this be the reason?

Yeah, I understand that. My question is this: does Windows let you make an AVI that simply points to media files, like a Quicktime reference movie does, and if it does indeed let you do it, did you happen to make one?

Nope, it's not Fat32. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to hold the 132 gig avi file on there. Like I said, the avi file plays fine outside of after effects.
