Produce movie freezing at the same point

Using PD12 12.0.2930.0 and supposedly have all the latest video drivers etc.

I have made a 28 min movie that combines multiple video clips, transitions and some "magic motion" on jpg images. When previewing in the time line window everything plays fine and it looks good. When I go to produce the movie it always gets stuck at the same point (23%). This corresponds to a transition from video to another video which is played in reverse. There is a fade transition between the two. I have tried to produce in many formats and have also tried with and without hardware acceleration and no luck. Finally I removed the transition and it still gets stuck at the same point. What's interesting is that there is a section of video in reverse prior to where the production gets stuck. So its not just that it can't handle the reversing.

The video in reverse was originally produced as a "magic motion of a jpg image" video I loaded this video as a new project and selected "play in reverse" so that I could try to produce this and just use it in the main project and not have to use play in reverse but now it won't render the video in reverse (see attached screen shot - the thumbnails on the timeline are correct but the main preview image just stays at the full frame and doesn't show the motion/zoom). The produced video file is the same as the preview image and doesn't show that motion.

I've also attached the two DXDiag files incase they are helpful.

Any ideas would be a great help.

I guess no one has any ideas, or I didn't explain myself well enough.

As a follow up I removed all the "video in reverse" segments and managed to produce the video with no problems.

So, has anyone else had issues with video in reverse?

I would suggest pre-rendering the reverse segments, and then using those new clips in your project, but you tried that. I'm a bit stumped.
How about un-linking and deleting the empty audio from your clip and see if THAT now works.

I and I think others have mentioned this before, but it would be very useful if PD had a 'verbose' option or some sort of on-screen logging of exactly what it is currently doing, so that it might be possible to say where (and why) it is hanging up at some particular point. I've had 3 hour renders that resulted in a single file of zero bytes in length! And one time a 3+hour render of a 20 minute video that produced a 67GB video file! Anyways, sensible error messaging/logging would be very handy!

Thanks for the suggestions Barry, I'll try to delete the empty audio and see what happens.

QUICK EDIT: tried that and still no luck. The render does pause on the first reverse section for a few seconds and then continues whereas it gets stuck on the second reverse section and never progresses.

Russell I agree, better logging would be great!

my girlfriend has been using PD12 for the last 6 months and continually gets this problem. When she has a reverse in a clip and goes to produce, it freezes at the point where the reverse is. She removes the reverse and it produces

I have the same problem specifically with the video in reverse. My video has a short, 10 sec. clip in reverse about 60% of the way in which is where the rendering gets stuck. There's a cross fade at beginning and end of the clip. Rendering is very fast but comes to a dead stop at exactly the beginning of the reverse clip. I pre-rendered the reverse clip, then added it back to the timeline, then applied the transitions and the whole video then rendered without a problem. Mike B.

Mike,

Pre-rendering was my first idea but the production can't even do that much of a reverse clip. So for now I consider this a major bug and reverse video a useless feature!
