"Produce"d File is 30 seconds shorter than clip in timeline

Hi there,

I've been working with a short 19 Minute movie. When in the Timeline, the whole Movie plays properly from beinning to end. When I 'Produce' it to MPEG-2, the file always misses the last 30 to 45 seconds. I've re-tried, used different filenames, and always the same result...

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Best wishes,

Ken

What is the frame rate you've selected in the time-line? 25 or 30 fps?
what is the frame rate of the video you placed in the time-line?

What is your Country/video format of the disc you've selected? see images.

I'm guessing here because I don't have sufficient information from you - and you haven't included an image of your time-lines.

Appears to me you've either selected the wrong frame rate or you have not allowed sufficient media "cover" of either a video or audio in the tracks to enable titles to finish.

Hi there,

Thank you for your advice.

My imported video is 29.97fps and I'm producing it at the same frame rate. The movie is 1 complete sequence, no edit points or splits, etc.

I will check your downloads and see if I can glean some more info from that.

The other files I've done have all been fine, so this one is a bit of a head-scratcher.

Thank you again.

Best wishes,

Ken

Yep, it sure is.

Head scratching is better than hair pulling

Solved...

I figured that since it was cuttin off too early for some reason, I added a Black ColourBoard for about 40 seconds at the end. I 'Produce'd the file as MPEG-2 like usual.

Imported the file back into PD7 and voila! It's all there.

For whatever reason, it works...

Thanks again...Perhaps someone else may find this useful.

Best wishes,

Ken
