Rendering quality in premiere elements 12

Im new to Elements 12 and im editing some videos i took with a gopro. Whatever small effect i add to it, when I render it, the quality goes down the drain from HD to a first gen motorola razr. Ive looked around and it seems like older versions of elements had render settings but i cant find them in 12.
the left is untouched and the right is after rendering. Any idea as to what is happening?

What is the resolution of your Go Pro footage?
When you add your video to your project's timeline, do you see a yellow orange line above the clips on the timeline in Expert view?
What are you outputting your test video as? If you are judging the quality of your video by what you see in Premiere Elements, have you set the Monitor panel to full quality (by right-clicking on it)?

Problems with rendering quality in Premiere Elements 9

Hello, I've made a few videos with PE 9 now, and I get very poor quality rendering despite trying several different settings. I saw on a help thread earlier that I needed to try changing to HD when creating the new file from the beginning. I did that, but it only made my PE 9 run more slowly, and the rendering quality was not improved. I also read somewhere that using .MOV files as a source can cause problems with rendering; is that true? I hope not! I use a Lumix bridge camera for my videos, and the video quality is very good. And when I'm working with these videos within PE 9 the quality is great. It's only when exporting to various file types that the quality suddenly becomes poor. For the most part I have made compilation videos of gymnasts, and when their legs move they are often so lined or pixelated that they become invisible. Here is an example of a short gym video I made yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0s7tUBcSZk. The last girl jumping gives the best example of this invisible leg problem.
You can see the original source films here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmUMi9oN8dQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEzcJZjhxiI
and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I53twqPQMV4
The sequences I took in my compilation video start at about 20 seconds in the source videos.
Youtube does reduce the quality of the videos slightly, but in any case you can definitely see a difference in quality between the source videos and the PE 9 rendered compilation video.
I'm quite disappointed because I made a longer compilation video set to music (which was a lot of work), and it looks so much nicer on PE 9 than on any of the rendered formats, but of course I can't share the PE 9 version!
Thanks very much for your help.
Chleste

Thanks Steve. I'm not sure what resolution I'm shooting in, actually. However, the thing is that when I make these compilations, I like to go back to source videos I've made in the past sometimes. Sometimes these videos come from a Canon camera, and sometimes they even come from my Samsung mobile telephone. I like being able to creatively combine historic moments, and these moments might have been recorded without any intention at the time of making a compilation video. Is it not possible to combine several kinds of video sources?
I'm uploading an example of a compilation with mixed source videos from various kinds of cameras. It's 710 Megs so it will take a while, but when it's finished you will be able to see it at http://youtu.be/CslpULRe4LU.
I opened up the file for the compilation of the four girls on the beam (video posted in original message), and I do indeed see those red lines in the timeline. Is there anything I can do now about that, or do I have to start the project all over?
I'm confused about the processor requirements. Even if I can see my video perfectly in PE 9, the actual export process will be affected if my system is not up to par? If so, that's a bit disappointing! I'm not sure what my processor details are, but I will find out and let you know.
Many thanks.

Motion rendering in Adobe premiere elements

Hello,
I recently purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 11. I am on windows 7.
In one of my vidoes, motion is not rendered properly. For example, a talking persons lips are significantly blurred. The same video when played in Windows Media Player doesn't show this behavior. The video is AVCHD, 1080p, 30fps. I did not see a project settings preset that matches exactly those settings. So I selected AVCHD, 1080i, and 30fps (which I thought is the closest among all the presets available). And I DID NOT select the "force these settings" option. I assumed, when I add my video file, PE 11 would automatically select the right settings for that video. What might the cause for poor rendering? And how can I fix it? Thank you for the help in advance.

If your video clip is the first one on the timeline and you didn't force settings on your project, the program should set up your project automatically.
So you could be seeing a couple of things:
1) Your Monitor panel may not be displaying the file at high-quality. You can ensure that it is by right-clicking on the Monitor panel and setting it to high-quality and making sure that you're not looking at your video at over 100% size.
2) It could be that your file needs rendered, in which case you'll see a yellow line above your clips on the timeline in Expert view. To render your timeline, press Enter or click on the Render button. This should improve your playback.

Need help saving a rendered video in Premiere Elements 13...

I have a rendered video that I am ready to save to my computer. The last Premiere Elements program I had was 1.0 lol. In 1.0, I would select to export the video as .avi and use that to burn to a dvd. In Premiere Elements 13, "export" is grayed out. What it looks like I need to do now is Publish the rendered video, but I don't know what to select to save it to my computer for future burning to a Blue Ray Disc. I plan on using Nero to burn the video to BD. Any help would be appreciated.

AndyD74
File Menu/Export/Movie is last seen in Premiere Elements 7. Now File Menu/Export/Title remains.
Your export opportunities for Premiere Elements 13/13.1 are in the Publish+Share area of the program. Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates? If not, consider doing so.
What are the properties of your source media on the Timeline that is destined for Nero for your burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
Have you considered taking your Timeline directly to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc in Premiere Elements 13/13.1 using Publish+Share/Disc/Blu-ray?
Depending on your reply to the above, you could explore for your file....
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p___
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = M2T - H.264 1920 x 1080i or p____
Please review and consider, and supply more information so that we can fine tune the reply.
Thank you.

Publish+Share signifcantly reduces video quality in Premiere Elements 13

As the title states, whenever I publish and share a video in Premiere Elements 13, the video quality is drastically reduced to an almost unwatchable level compared to the original video This is even the case before any effects are added to the video. If I add the media to the timeline and then directly publish+share before any changes are done, the video quality is still ruined. When I click play full screen in elements, the quality and resolution is exactly where I want it, but once again, when I share the video, it's essentially destroyed.
When I play the newly created video there is giant black space above, below and to the sides of the video (where there is none in the original) and movement in the movie causes the video to grain with black lines.
I have been playing around with settings and researching online for a long time now but I can't seem to find the solution. What I have been doing is going publish+share, ---> Computer, ---> AVI. Then in advanced settings the video codec is selected to DV NTSC, and the basic video settings which are locked in (which I can't change) are set to quality 100, width 720, height 480. The Aspect is D1/DV NTSC (0.9091). I have selected render at maximum depth. I have also tried saving it as MPEG and other video types but the result is the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I understand that I am new and have lots to learn, but it seams so strange to me that the simple process of putting a video in Elements would essentially destroy it. Thanks again.

HSTompson
It was not until Mary Lou Frost posted in your thread today that I realized that I did not see and reply to your questions in post 4 of your thread (dated December 15, 2014). Sorry about that.
If you want to match up the properties of the export file with the properties of the Timeline source media, often you need to direct your attention to
a. Publish+Share/Computer/......and trying to match up the video (especially) and audio compressions of the import with those of the export choice.
b. A frequent cause of a difference between import file size and export file size is the bitrate used by these files. The higher the bitrate, the greater the quality, but
the larger is the file size. So, trying to match import file and export file bitrates is also on the agenda. See the preset's Advanced Button/Video Tab and the settings
there for bitrate. The units for bitrate will be either kbps kilobits per second (also seen as Kbps) or Mbps megabits per second. We can go into that further if necessary.
Premiere Elements allows for the setting of one project preset which should match the properties of the source files. If you have "mixed source files", setting up the
project can become a challenge. The rule of thumb that I typically use involves setting priorities...
1. If videos and stills, I will set for the properties of the video and then size (or let the project size) the still to the frame size of the video
2. If just stills, I try for 1920 x 1080 stills and import them using a DLSR 1080p project preset...that seems to give sharper end product results when doing burn to disc.
Please review and consider and let me know if I have targeted your questions. Any questions please do not hesitate to ask. I try to respond daily to questions, so, if you do not see a timely, response, please send me an Adobe Forum private message asking me "What happened to you?".
Best wishes.

Video Rendering Question using Premiere Elements 11 and/or Adobe Premiere

The video Rendering /encoding process can take hours even on an I5 processor.
It seems like this has to be done, redone and done again during the editing process.
If I purchase a camera which supports AVCHD 2.0 - does that mean that the encoding process altogether goes away, so that content is able to be transfered natively to the end media and so that I reduce my burn time to a BluRay Disc, using for example, Adobe Premiere Elements 11 or Full Fledged Adobe Premiere, or Sony's Vegas ?
Newbie to Video Editing.

AVCHD 2.0 only means that the camera can also record 1080p/60, which was previously not part of the AVCHD specification and still is not part of the Blu-ray spec. It's most useful for smooth slow motion effects.
Anything you add to Premiere Pro will need to be transcoded for Blu-ray, no way around that.

How to reduce re-rendering clips in Premiere Elements 12

Each time I restart a Project in Premiere Elements 12 the timeline indicates that I need to re-render the clips. Is there away to avoid excess rendering? Thanks.

don_
Your question is a long standing issue that seemed to have peaked around Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 and seems to be independent of computer operating system, scratch disk locations, and QuickTime versions among other things. And Adobe has not come out with an explanation to date as far as I have ever seen.
But, let me make sure that I am interpreting your question correctly.
Are you saying that, after you save/close a project whose Timeline had been rendered for preview purposes, the re-opened project presents with an orange line over the Timeline content with the implication that you are looking at an unrendered Timeline? If that is the case, please read on.
I will dig out the unabridged version of what I have written about this in the past. But, for now, the abridged version.
1. Although the color indicator implies that the Timeline content is "unrendered", that is, you are not getting the best possible preview of what you are seeing in the Edit Mode monitor preview, the preview files that were originally generated are alive and well in their hard drive save location. Best guess is that the link between the preview files and the project are getting broken and are not repairable, short of rendering the Timeline content again if absolutely necessary for preview purposes.
2. In the re-opened project, rendering again to turn the orange line to green (best possible preview) can be done for the whole of the afflicted content or selectively (just segment) by setting the WorkArea Bar gray tabs to span just the area to be rendered.
3. My philosophy on this is to move on or re-render all or part if indicated. You have rendered the area previously and should know what that is going to look like...unless of course you make changes in the re-opened project.
This one has an unforgetable history going back several versions and apparently surfacing again in the present and still without the whys.
Please review and let us know if I have targeted you question.
Thanks.

MPG smart rendering in Adobe Premiere Elements 7?

Hi,
Does anybody know if Adobe Premiere Elements 7 supports smart rendering of MPG files? I have a Sony HDD camcorder (non-HD) and would like to combine clips into longer MPG files without reencoding.
In the past I have used MainConcepts MPEG Elements, but that is not supported anymore (and there were issues with in anyway).
Thanks.
Ralph

I have Mainconcepts MPEG Elements 1.01 installed in PRE 7.
The only thing that I found that doesn't work is capturing. When I want to capture, I disable the plug-in by changing the name of the Mainconcept folder:
From:
C:\program files\common files\mainconcept\MPEG PRO PE
To:
C:\program files\common files\mainconcept\MPEG PRO PE.RJJ
When you disable the Mainconcept Plug-in, you won't be able to edit any projects that were created with a Mainconcept project preset. Well, actually you can, but PRE puts the project in "Desktop" mode.
There is a registry entry that the Mainconcept Plug-in uses during installation to determine which version of Premiere Elements the plug-in is intalled in and which version can use the plug-in.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Premiere Elements\CurrentVersion
ApplicationPath: D:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0\
Plug-InsDir: D:\Program Files\Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0\Plug-ins\en_us
I also have version 2.0 installed and when I want to use Mainconcept Plug-in with 2.0, I edit the registry settings and change 7.0 to 2.0 in the path names.
Smart Rendering does work in PRE 7 when you have the Mainconcept plug-in.
When you start Premiere Elements 7 after installing the plug-in, make sure to hold down the CTRL-ALT-SHIFT keys so the plug-in cache is reset.

No sound in my rendered MPEG video - Premiere Elements 8

I edited an .avi video... deleted some scenes, added some effects and titles. There is sound when I playback the edited video project in Premiere Elements 8. Then I rendered the file by selecting "shared to be viewed on personal computer" and selected MPEG file type. When I playback the rendered MPEG file in Windows Media Player, there is no sound! What is going on?    I am not a computer geek, just trying to convert some old videos.......    THANKS in advance for any suggestions you may have! gf

Thank you for the suggestion, Steve. I didn't know what other program to use...    I downloaded VLC and then played the vido in it.   It has audio. I still don't understand what this means.   Why won't it play on Windows Media Player? Is there   something "WRONG" with the rendered MPEG file?   If I burn this to a DVD will I be able to playback on a DVD player??
Also.... yes it was captured over a firewire from a Sony Video8 cam that had legacy playback. The original video was analog, recorded back in the 1980's.   I bought a more recent (90's?) Sony videocam on ebay, that had legacy playback in order to convert to .avi
Thanks for your help.    I am going to try to burn to DVD later today, and see if I can replay...

Rendered video in Premiere Elements 13 freezes...

Hello all, this is my first Premiere Elements software since 1.0 lol. Anyway, before I render a video it plays nice and smooth. After I render it, the video playback freezes while the audio continues to play. How do I fix this? I have an i7-410U 2 Ghz CPU, an Nvidia GeForce 840M 2 GB video card, 8 GB of memory, 900 GB of free space on my HDD, and Windows 8.1. Thanks for your help.

AndyD74
Thanks for the follow up replies.
Your Edit Menu/Project Settings/General readings suggest that you or the project have not set the correct project preset for the project. If the Canon is the major source of your Timeline content, then the project should not be 1080i (the project's default). It should be
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR [email protected]
You are going to have to go to a new project to correct that situation. You cannot change the project preset in 13/13.1 once the project preset has been established.
If the project (automatically) is not giving you the correct project preset, then you need to set it yourself (manually) before you import the source media.
File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings
In Change Settings, set for the project preset mentioned above. OK out of there.
In the New Project dialog that appears, rename the project and make sure there is a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". OK out of there.
Then in the workspace, import your source media with Add Media/
Another factor is the custom made intro that I created in Aurora3d Title Animation. What are its properties and how do they compare with those of the Canon's 1080p29.97. If you remove the Title Animation from the Timeline, do the problems disappear even with the DSLR project preset pointed to?
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

Adobe Premiere Elements 10. Is it sensible to upgrade my memory to 32 Gb?

I have the following configuration (bought in September 2011).
Asus P8Z68 DELUXE, Z68 chipset
Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4 Ghz 8Mb
Kingston
Crucial SSD M4 128 Gb
Asus GeForce GTX560 Ti DirectCU II TOP 1GB 2xDVI
WD 2Tb sata 600 (black edition).
Windows 7 prof 64 bit.
Adobe Premiere Elements 10 + Photoshop Elements 10
On the 128 Gb SSD I installed, Windows 7, office 2010, Adobe elements software and the SSD is used for temp/swap-drive for Adobe elements and Windows 7.
The second drive WD SATA 600 black 2 Tb is used for all my video and photo material.
When searching on the internet and on this forum I understand that till Premiere Elements 9 Adobe didn’t use the RAM memory above 3 Gb because of the 32 bit adobe-kernel of the elements series.
Can and will Premiere Elements 10 (or higher) use the memory above 3 Gb?
When I install 32 Gb (4x8 Gb) of DRAM Memory the recommended windows swap file will be around (2x32 =) 64 Gb. With windows 7, and some software installed there will be not much space left on the SSD drive for the adobe premiere elements temp-drive. I probably have to set the temp-drive to the WD 2 TB sata 600 because there is more free space left.
I'm not sure if it is sensible to upgrade my memory.
1 Is it sensible to upgrade my memory to 32 Gb? And will it likely increase the rendering-speed of premiere elements 10 (or a future release premiere elements)?
2 Is it sensible to upgrade my memory to 16 Gb (4x 4Gb)?
3 The 32 Gb memory-upgrade costs around 300 euro/dollar. Is there a better way to improve the rendering speed (I’m not comfortable with overclocking the system)?
Hope you can help me out with this question.
Thanx!

What RAM is currently installed?
What kind of video are you processing - Standard Def. High Def. Full HD ?
What kind of durations do your project have?
Generalising, based on what others have posted, 8GB seems to be the minimum recommendation and 16GB should be excellent - if you can get 2 x 8GB you have the option for another two later.
You might want to consider a second hard disk for your temp files.

Since Vista I don't think that generalisation is any longer relevant. It was much more appropriate to XP and when machine RAM was still measured in MB rather than GB. With 16GB or more real RAM there shouldn't be that much need for swapping to disk anyway.

Best screen capture for using with premiere elements?

i have been scouring the net to figure out how to get better results than what i'm getting with the camstudio (love the program, and it looks great until i pull it into premiere). I have read that it can be a codec issue or an fps issue, but before i follow those trails, i was wondering if there is a screen capture software that works well with premiere, without a lot of hassle. (not necessarily free, just reliable and hassle free with good quality in premiere elements) Anyone have experience with this?
thanks in advance!

Adobe premiere elements 7 output options

I want to see the edited film in HD quality on TV but AP7 will not export in HD quality and I have heard that burning a Blu-ray requires preprocessing so that the quality is compromised there too. Is this correct? What can I gain with upgrading in terms of output quality? I think the optimal solution would be to export the film to a media player which then plays it on TV. We want to see the film in HD on TV.
Thank You from sweden

First, Premiere Elements (any version) on any operating system, you are not going to get Dolby Digital 5.1 channel or any other 5.1 channel audio on the burn to DVD or Blu-ray. You get Dolby Digital 2 channel audio. The frame rate is 25 interlaced frames per second (in your PAL setup). That is it.
There is no project preset for 1080p50 in Premiere Elements 7. We might improvise with the PAL AVCHD Full HD1080i25 5.1 channel project preset and depend on the export settings to define your export. It gets tricky in 7 when you are dealing with AVCHD 5.1 channel and its automatic jumping to upper tracks unless the project preset is set for an AVCHD 5.1 channel one.
As for Premiere Elements 7 export to file, in workarounds (customizing the MPEG/HD 720p preset, I can get you a 1080p50 Dolby Digital Stereo as MPEG2.mpg file). There would be bitrate settings available for adjustment to set for a compromise between file size and quality.
Premiere Elements 12 would offer
a. 1080p50 project preset
b. more available resources if it was running on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
c. AVCHD compression for export, better quality than MPEG2
d. Opportunities to export the 1080p50 AAC 5.1 channel or Windows Media Audio 10 Professional 5.1 channel.
e. Burn to Blu-ray or DVD would still end up 1920 x 1080 display 25 interlaced frames per second and Dolby Digital Stereo 2 channel audio.
The following blog posts can give you some insight into the Premiere Elements 5.1 channel situation if 5.1 channel export to file saved to computer hard drive is an expectation.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-exporting-1080p50-or-1080p60-file.html
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/07/pe11-exporting-1080p25-or-1080p30-file.html
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/10/pe12-exporting-720p50-or-720p60-file.html
"1080p50" designates that you have 1920 x 1080 @ 50 progressive frames per second. That does not tell you the audio and video compression and file extension. It, like your present video, could have a .mts file extension. The video compression is probably AVCHD. The audio compression will likely be Dolby Digital 5.1 channel.
You need to evaluate the features of the camera and determine which gives you better quality footage before it even gets to Premiere Elements. Any chance of getting sample video from the sales people. Sometimes you can find samples for a given brand/model online that you can experiment with. Definitely do not buy Premiere Elements before you evaluate it as a tryout with is essentially full featured.
One investment begets another investment. So critically evaluate what you need.
As always, please ask for clarification on anything that I have written if needed.
Thanks.

Rendering quality bad using Adobe Premiere elements.

I was told to start a new discussion about my problem: The Mpeg rendering have such bad quality in APEleements, and it trembls so much whenever there is movement in the vídeo. I have Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11.0 and the quality for the same videos is so much better. I wanted to buy APElements also, but watching the APE rendered film, made me not want to buy it anymore. (My camera is a Sony HDR-XR550 with AVCHD quality.
I received the following answer:
Valdo_PT
A major factor in the type of issue that you describe goes to how the project was set up and the selection for export.
For us to rule in or out those types of factors, more information is needed.
1.Computer operating system....?
2. Project Preset.....Are you setting the project preset manually or are you letting the project it do it automatically based on the properties of the first file that you
drag to the Timeline? See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General.
3. Properties of the source file(s).....You say they were videos recorded with Sony HDR-XR550/AVCHD video compression..... are they 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second or something else? What is the file extension?
4. What is your export selection?
Are your major problems in Edit area or Export area? Have you applied Field Options to your video if your camera is recording interlaced and not progressive video?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thanks.
ATR
My answer:
Hello, ATR. Thank you, for replying my question.
1- My computer operating system is windows 8.1, but I also have a computer with Vista.
2- The project preset is chosen automatically, by the APE.
The project settings are already chosen(Icannot change the edit mode - that is HDV 10801 - and the timebase 25,00.
The video is 1440 horizontal and 1080 vertical. Display format is 25 fps.
3 - The file extesnsion is mts.
4- I am rendering the film to Mpeg, Pal DVD Widescreen.
5- My problem is that the rendered quality is very bad.
I tried to check if the video is interlaced or progressive, but I don't know how. I used the software bitrate
viewer, but it doesn't recognise mts video.
Thanks,
Valdo

ATR, thank you for your answer.
a. I am using Adobe Elements 11.
b. In the Elements MPEG rendered films there’s some distortion, flicker, blurriness and moving lines, mostly when there’s movement in the film.
1. My operating system is Win 8.1 32 bit.
2. The project is by default PAL-AVCHD-Full HD -1080i 25.
3. In the Elements MPEG rendered films there’s some distortion, flicker, blurriness and moving lines, mostly when there’s movement in the film.
b. The AVCHD.mp4 has also problems, as MPeg2-1920x1080i.25. From those exports I tried, the M2t-H264-1440x1080i has clear vision, there is no problems. But all of these I can only watch in the PC, not in the TV, because of the reason I will explain next.
The intent is to watch in my TV (or other TVs) the family films I create. The problem is that they have to be MPEG 2 because my Hd tv media player is good but a little out of time and mostly it plays dvix and MPEG.
4. I reversed the Field Dominance, but there were no improvements.
Yes, the only problem I have is with the quality of the rendering.
5. I have used MediaInfo, but in the info it provides about the file there was nothing saying if it is interlaced or progressive video.
Thanks, Valdo

No sound in my rendered Premiere elements 10 mpeg

I can hear the sound during playback in Premiere Elements 10 but not when exported as a rendered MPEG for playback on a PC or in other formats. I am just learning, and can't see anything obvious that I'm doing wrong, but this is probably something simple like a set up setting. Any help?

Hi ATR,
Sorry for taking a while to get back to you. I was so excited when I had a fix to the problem that I wanted to finish my project and get it out to our staff. With that done, I can now reflect further on what went wrong.
It looks like this is not just an isolated evil sound file. I think that my work computer doesn't accept a lot of sound files. It makes me wonder if your suggest for "a. checking the audio card driver" might be in order. I'm not an expert at this, but I think I have a SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio (but I could be mixed-up and this could just be a driver).
The only two sound file sources that seem to work are from my video camera and from the .wav files created from Sonicfire Pro 5 SmartSound software that came bundled with PE10 (that's what I used to create the background music that worked). I tried to convert the .mp3 files into .wav files using PE10, but on my system it didn't work. I then used an online converter and things appeared to work well (it would play the audio on my computer using Windows Media player, and it would preview in PS10, but it would not render a finished file with the audio). So, a friend in the office came up with a workable solution. I played the .mp3 file on my speakers and filmed it with my camera. Crazy, but it worked. Fortunately, I'm not working on a Hollywood quality video. It was a 45-second teaser for employees that would be shared electronically with an e-mail directing people to the file on our intranet.
By the way, in answer to one of your other questions - I have tried other audio channels. In fact, I had originally tried the soundtrack file, but that didn't seem to be the problem.
You last point that you were curious why I didn't have the problem on both computers I think comes down to the possibility that my computer at work has an issue. Does the 32 bit vs. 64 bit mean anything? Would a sound card problem mean that files some sound files might not be rendered, even though I can hear them in the preview mode?
In the meantime, I'm just so happy that my video is finished. I have a clearer sense of what I can't do on this computer. I have a work-around that means I can have music in my productions (although the quality isn't fabulous). And I'm hopeful I might figure out a more long-term solution.
