Can anyone explain why, in Adobe Premiere Elements 2022, there's a one-second black screen when I overlay one video on another? This issue only occurs when both videos play simultaneously.

    Well, I finally got it fixed. I spoke with Adobe and they screen sharred for a while. We finally figured it out. I was uploading the vidoes via One Drive and that was causing the issues. I put them on my c drive and uploaded and there was no issue. I guess when working with Adobe Premier Elements, you should keep the files on the c drive.  I  had no idea.!?  Thank you for helping as I learned alot. I love Handbrake as I learned how to put a border around my videos.  Again, THANKS!!

    Try this:

    • To restore default preference settings and plug-in cache at the same time, hold down Shift-Alt (Windows) or Shift-Option (Mac OS) while the application is starting. Release the Shift-Alt keys or Shift-Option key when the splash screen appears.

    Just to be clear:

    Have you tried to play each clip separately with noting above or below it, and it doesn't have the black frame?

     

    Check the alignment of Title 34 and Title 10 on the timeline.

    I suspect that may be where the issue is.

    Please use the free MediaInfo and post a screenshot of the properties of your media in tree view:

    Many users are having issues with VFR. If the file is variable frame rate, use Handbrake to convert to constant frame rate before importing into Premiere Pro:

    Here is a tutorial:

    Shutter Encoder may also be used to convert to Constant Frame Rate:

    What do you mean by "overlay one video on another"? Do you mean two tracks of video, one above another?

     

    What is the source of this video and what format and resolution is it?

    Thank you for the reply. I am not an expert and appreciate it. Yes, I have one vidoe on a track and then another vidoe on the track above said track. I reduce the size of one video on the screen so it plays over the later vidoo. I used my cell phone for both vidoes and they play fine until I overlay them. They are MP4 files. Also, I am not using any fly in features like dip to black or anything.
