Suddenly can't seem to render usable MP4s?? I take previously made PD videos, trim to shorter length, and produce new MP4. Tried multiple settings, qualities of 264 and 265 versions. New video runs for a sec or two, some color variation is seen in new video, large block pixelation, then video freezes, sound continues. Same if I run with PD13 or third party video players.

What's happening? Never encountered before.

I do not know my case is similar to yours.

When I produce Video HD or FullHD / MP4 using SVRT the image and the sound continues until the end.

Below left corner I turn on "Enable preview During prodution"

It makes PD render all video.

This is a palliative, solves for me so far.

I don't understand your last sentence. The produced mp4 won't even play on the PD13 timeline correctly. There is something happening during production that yields a bad mp4.

In Producer I leave SVRT choose an MP4 profile.

Below left corner I turn on "Enable preview During prodution".

Hi YNLExposure -

From what you've said, it's just about impossible to work out why PDR13 is taking MPEG-4s made in PDR & churning out MPEG-4s that won't even play properly in its own timeline.

Have you tried the same procedure with all HA options off, so that the processing is only done by the CPU?

You mentioned you'd tried different formats & profiles - what are the properties of the source clips (that PDR produced previously)?

Cheers - Tony
