A.4.7 IMPORT/EXPORT FILES LARGER THAN 4 GIGABYTES?
This question may arise if you are using external media, perhaps portable hard drives or USB
‘thumb’ drives. These are commonly prepared using the FAT32 file system, which does not
support files larger than 4GB. As video files will often exceed this size, FAT32 is not very suitable
for use in that context.
You should reformat these drives using the NTFS system to eliminate this limitation (or you might
consider transferring larger files to TriCaster over a network connection).
A.4.8 AVOID THE EXPORT ERROR “…COPY THIS FILE WITHOUT ITS
PROPERTIES?”
Windows shows this error message when you export a media file from TriCaster to an external
volume that does not use the NTFS file system. The warning is not really a concern (although we
highly recommend using NTFS formatted storage, as noted in Section A.4.7). The files will copy
just fine regardless.
TriCaster generates metadata attributes for media files for internal use. This metadata is only
retained when you export to storage formatted as NTFS. That being said, the metadata is
automatically regenerated if you use the files with TriCaster again later, so its loss poses no issue.
A.4.9 FREE UP SPACE BY DELETING THE DEMO CLIPS?
1. Go to TriCaster’s Startup Screen .
2. Open a session (it doesn’t matter which one).
3. Click the Manage icon on the rotating selector.
4. Click the Clips link at right.
5. Use the system File Explorer that opens to navigate up on level in the folder hierarchy,
to D:\Media\Clips.
6. Right-click on the NewTek folder, and select Delete from the menu that appears.
