Often, but not always, Premiere Pro opens the preview window at a reduced size when I open the program. Screen shots are attached of what I save the workspace as and how it opens.   What I've Tried: - Updating the software --> made no difference - Saving the workspace --> keeps happening anyway - Saving as a new workspace --> still happens   It's annoying that I have to resize that window over and over. ...

When I export a video (about 30-40 minutes long), there are a few frames at almost 2 minutes that are desaturated/washed out and lower quality; the problem occurs at the same exact spot each time. However, in the preview window of Premiere Pro, everthing looks right -- no issues at all.   I am including the following screen shots: H.264 export result right before the problem starts H.264 export result right after the problem H.265 export result right after where the problem was happening Premiere Pro preview right where the problem should be   The odd part is this: a few frame earlier, with the same exact text and background (nothing changed) everything is fine. It doesn't make a difference if I export directly using Premiere Pro or through Media Encoder.   What I'm Using (all up to date per Creative Cloud) Premiere Pro v 24.3 Media Encorder v. 24.3 Camera Raw v 16.2.1   My Export Settings Format: H.264 Fame Size: Full HD (1920 x 1080) Frame Rate: match source Field Order: match source Aspect: match source Render at Maximul Depth (checked) TV Standard: match source Use Maximum Render Quality: checked Render Alpha Channel Only: unchecked Time Interpolation: Frame Sampling Performance: Software Encoding Profile: High Level: 5.1 Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 2 pass Target Bitrate: 30 Maximum Bitrate: 50 Effects: on, but nothing checked Metadata: on, but nothing checked   System Changes What I Tried Disabling "Effects" in export settings - no difference Clearing Adobe cache (Edit > Preferences > Media Cache > Delete) - no difference Checking for updates - updated Premiere Pro today, made no difference   I also ran various tests to see if anything improved.   Test 1: Export only a couple minutes that included that section Result: the problem did not occur.   Test 2: Export from the beginning of the video to about a minute after the impacted section Result: the problem did not occur   Test 3: Export full video as HEVC (H.265) Result: the problem did not occur   Thus, this seems to be limited to H.264 and when I export the whole video. ...

I've tried various things, but whenever I try exporting my 11 minute video, the entire computer freezes at the same exact point.  This happens consistently whether I export directly through PP or use Media Encoder. I tried looking at the frame where it stops, and the only thing that was going on was two still images with some slight motion animation and a cross-dissolve between them.  I had the same thing on other pictures/video clips and it got through those (and more) fine.  I tried removing the cross dissolve since it freezes toward the end of it, but that didn't resolve it. I tried rendering sequence before exporting using the Render In and Out option. The entire sequence has the green bar -- no yellows or reds -- and playback is fine throughout.  However, this didn't make a difference for export: same computer freeze at the same point. The exported file size is about 2GB for full HD (I use 29.97fps, VBR-2 30 goal/50 max, render max depth, max depth quality). I exported a video a few days ago, not as long -- 7-8 mins -- so it was only about 1.3GB, and it processed fine. I'm baffled!  Could it be my computer, even though I've tried closing unneeded programs to free up RAM? Message was edited by: John Rothra ... View more
