My problem is i want to make a warcraft video in AE about 5mins long. But the video files which from fraps are too huge, maybe 6G. So has any software can small it and edit in AE.

Thx a lot for help.:)
 
what?, you cant even open it in ae, or premiere, on the mac side of the force, you can open anything with quicktime, then export a smaller version or a more compressed version to work with if you like, on the pc side if stability is an issue to just open the file, you will have 2 options, one would be to use something that recompress without showing the files, some application that you can choose a clip and choose the export parameters without seeing the file, another option is to find the most stable app for your video, if you can open it in virdualdub for example you can export to something more compressed and more easy to work with if you have an old pc. you will find tons of apps people use to rip tv and dvds that can recompress anyfile to anything without seeing the file.
 
yeah, you will find allot of open source software that does just that, re compress to x.264, or xvid or divx.

and you could try virtualdub, if it's a compatible file, if it is, you can either split the files or re compress the whole thing. you will easily find tutorial about how to use virtualdub or how to rip files.
 
yeah, it's strange, but then again, ae and premiere are not that stable on the pc side, and might just freeze while you open a file, or he can open the files, but they need to be rendered before he can use them and they are not playing back nicely, or he has ae settings set to full and high, anyway, he can recompress if he want to and play with smaller files in ae.

but 6gb is definitly not that big for something that would end up 5 mins or is 5 mins long.
 
Sorry, my explain was misleading, my real mean was i have 6g files which collected by frpas that need to edit for my 5 mins long warcraft video, but 6g files for my hardware is too large. So has any possibility i can use some softwares to small them then edit in AE?
 
when you say 6gb files(it would be either a collection of files about 6 gb each, or a collection of files with a combined total of 6gb), i'll go with the first one, because the second one doesn't have any problems.

you can open up each file individually, in premiere or ae or any other application, export or render out to another smaller, more compressed file, then delete the original after you made sure that you exported and checked the new file, keep going one by one until you finish, and you will have some space to edit the material and the hard drive would be fast enough.

and for future projects, you need to free up your hard drive just to have good sustained performance. good luck

thx a lot, actually i m just a a oversea student, you mean i can open the files individually to compress in AE or PR, then edit them? it's right?

and one more point to replenish my issue, my hardware only 17gb free space, so i want to compress these files then edit them, but when i used some software compressd them, as a result, they can't be edited anymore :>
 
you need to compress to something you can edit, avi or mov or mp4 containers, and anything should do, xvid or divx, or mpeg2 or x.264, or what ever, anything like that should be compatible and easy to find a software to do and can be done and edited in premiere and ae.

yeah go one file at a time compress remove original, go to the next, keep going.

google what you need to do to compress,
then what you need to do to edit,
i'm out.
