Hello!
I am making a documentation of guiness world record and i need to put a one file 25 hours long video (one file) for documentation purposes.
Premiere pro have a 24 hour limit time.

What to do guys? What to do? I have tried nesting but it still doesnt allow me to make a longer sequence than 24 h.

Correct answer Panda-Studio

There is no workaround 24 hours is the limit.

Ok, so thanks for that "insightfull" posts Ann! "it cant be done" is the best answer, always.

For anyone that is looking for an actual answer.
Workaround:
1. Split folders with BPAV files to contain less than 24 h of video.
2. Make two sequences, With for example 23 and 2 hour videos.
3. Export in same settings.
4. Merge with different software (not going to say the name of it, not sure about breaking the rules).

Done!
154 GB 25 hour long video is here.

Holy crap... you're telling me I'm paying $50 a month for an app that can't even do something as simple as this... despite that a lot of the competition is more than capable...

Nice to see that Adobe are lazy money grabbers too like the rest of them...

What competition can do more than 24h timelines/footage (it's over the timecode limit then). I suppose Resolve can (or so I've read) but then it won't likely export to any other workflow software once the hour part of the timecode goes into 3 digits.

I'm working with 3 days of footage and I need to make several "Commercials", while maintaining the original clips for possible edits requested by the client. Just want to throw my 2 cents in that I would really appreciate the possibility of working with a longer timeline. I like the idea of having all the raw footage available, while also working with edited sequences further down the timeline. The answer posted by Adobe is "it can't be done" but I don't understand why (noob here so feel free to enlighten).

Assume that "one file" is to prove that no editing took place.

So...out of curiosity...how are you shooting this in one file?

If you can shoot it in one file...you dont need to edit it in a timeline..or is there another reason?

I might be missing something here.

Looks like you have never worker with camera so I'm going to explain.

While using XDCAM camera shoots 4GB files with timecode and a lot of additional info. And it has two memory banks, to deliver continous write. Premiere pro can even effortlessly merge these files into one in media browser even before importing.
