Question

Titles gone upon export

Hi everyone. I seem to have a rather unique issue. I browed the community, but couldn't find my exact issue, so I hope someone here can help me out.

 

I made a video a while back and exported it. It contained titles and texts. All was well. Today, I decided to change something in the video, so I opened the program, cut something out (that's all I did--cut out maybe 5 seconds of videoframe), saved it under a new file name and then exported it under a new file name (it's really the same name with a 1.1 attached).

 

After the export, when I open the new video, suddenly my titles are gone. The text in the video is still there, but the beginning title and end title do not show. Instead, I get a few seconds of black screen until the video starts and a few seconds of black screen after it ends.

 

I tried rendering. I tried moving the titles into different Video sections. None of that helped. (I should mention: I also have an image attached to the titles on a separate video line, but they don't show either).

 

When I go to export, it all shows fine in the little box titled "output preview".

 

I'm confused why a previously perfectly fine video gets title screwup from nothing more than me cutting out a few seconds of videoframe....??

 

How do I get those titles to come back?

 

Thank you!

Elisabeth,

"How strange! Any idea why this happened the way it has?"

 

Good work and thanks for posting that you worked through it. 

 

All that I can add is that video editing is such a computer intensive job, there can be rare surprise anomalies that show up.  It is probably near impossible to duplicate what happened.

You have something above what looks like the title.  What is it?

Thank you for the helpful screenshots. 

I certainly don't see anything at all that would cause the titles not to show.

Can you post a segment of your video that includes the missing title to YouTube and then link to it so we can see what how looks when output?

When output, it basically just shows (in place of the title) a black screen until the video starts, and then a black screen after the video ends. If after this description you still want to see a segment of my video, I can take the time to set that up for you. Thank you!

I can guess at a few possibilities.  But, without knowing more, they really are guesses.  

 

-You may have started the project "awhile back" in an earlier version of Premiere Elements and then opened it in a newer version.

-You may have output using the work area bar limits.

-Your "titles" may involve source files that have been moved or deleted.   

 

Screen shots of the timeline, output settings and more details would help.

Hi Bill, thank you for your response.

I only own Premiere Elements since Christmas 2020, so I doubt the version changed between creating the video and changing it. By awhile back I meant no more than three or four weeks. Sorry for the confusion or lack of clarity!

 

No source files have been moved or deleted since. I can be very certain of that.

Attached is a screenshot of the output settings. I'm not entirely sure what you are referring to about the work bar area limits, but if I do understand correctly, I do not have that checked.

I should add: the screenshot is taken after I'd moved the titles and texts up a video level.
