So I've been playtesting our Minecraft server's new stuff and making videos of the process (I say that like it's not just playing with an extra "see if you can break stuff" leaning), and I've successfully uploaded 3 hour+-long videos. I recorded a 4th, and when I went to import it into Premiere to edit, it wouldn't go. I checked the file, and it was broken. Like wouldn't even play in Windows Media Player broken. I grumpily deleted that one and tried again. I ended up with a 30-minute video and a 27-minute video (because Phil woke up from a nap in the middle ❤️ ), and those each imported correctly, but after I finished and rendered the final video, I went to upload it without checking it, and it uploaded SUPER quickly! I was amazed! I clicked on it to get the link to send to the server staff, and let it run in the background as I did other things (gotta get them views). It stopped 57 seconds in. I told Premiere to render it again - trying hard not to break my mouse and keyboard in the process - and when it was at 99%, I got a popup that I hadn't seen the first time. It couldn't save because my computer was full. Okay, no problem. This is why there was an external hard drive on my Christmas list (that my wonderful brother @Poryhedron got me ❤️ ). I moved the first 3 videos over so there'd be room to save the 4th. My shiny new 2 TERABYTE external hard drive could only take 1 video. These are very large files. I'm just going to let them live on YouTube and download them from there if I ever need them in the future.
