Blank clips in avi exported by Premiere...

[chembabe]

I had this wonderful idea of creating a slideshow to be played on my stand-alone DVD player at my daughter's 5th birthday party. Thanks to all of the wonderful information on this site, I've been able to make some significant progress. Unfortunately, I've encountered a problem!

I downloaded Premiere 6.0, created a "test" slideshow, exported it as DV AVI, converted it to MPEG-2 with TMPG and burned it as a SVCD with Nero. It played beautifully on my DVD player. So, I went about creating the "real" slideshow. I have about 175 jpg images. When I export the timeline as a DV AVI file, some of the clips appear as black screens. This only happens with about 10 of the 175 images. I've tried re-importing the images, shuffling them around in the timeline and nothing seems to make these specific images export.

Has anyone else come across this problem? I could just remove the images but some of the pics are really cute. I sincerely appreciate any advice you have!

Thanks!

Terri

HUMMM have you tried Creating multiple Avi files instead of one BIG long one?

give that a try since when you Created the Shorter Slide show it worked

does the Black part Appears only on Certain pictures?
maybe they are write protected or try to Scan those images again.
well hope that helps

Thanks for the advice!

After spending hours being that thankful that there were no guns in the house (although I was threatening the computer with a sledgehammer), I finally figured out that it was a pixel aspect ratio problem. I had the export settings set at DV/NTSC (0.9) and all of the stills were in "square pixel". Apparently that caused a conflict for the images that appeared blank on the exported avi. All is working fine now (I even got AVIsynth to frameserve to TMPGEnc) but I can't seem to play the Mpeg on media player. But that's another topic! Damn microsoft.

Thanks again for your help. This forum and website has been an absolute blessing!
