Hey, Paul. No, I do these
quicktime reference files all the time with 30 sec spots from 24 bit audio
sequences with no problem at all with audio. And, a couple of weeks ago
did a video that was 4:20 in length and had audio with the QT reference.
The other DS editor here said that someone from support told him that there was
a length limit for keeping audio with your QT reference. Don't recall what
that length was. But, I hate to say it, but apparently size does
matter.

George,
The old limitation was not QT (afaik) it was AVI which
had a 2GB limitation.
Your problem, however, sounds like the old 24bit vs.
16bit problem. If your sequence is 24bit and you output a file or even a
reference file, I believe you won't get any audio because QT and AVI are
expecting 16bit audio. Go into your sequence and change the sequence
pref for audio to 16bit - reoutput your ref file and you should be
fine.

Subject: QT Reference limit
So, I made a quicktime reference of
a 7:16 video to take into Cleaner to make an mpeg for approval. But, lo
and behold, I realized there was no audio. Now, I'm hearing that
this is an old limitation (or bug) of the quicktime reference where you
can't go past a certain length (anyone know that length?) that actually got a
little worse with the last version. Is this being worked on or is it not
a priority for any upcoming version?
Cheers!
