I'm creating 10 second video loops for playback on a website. But when I export the video, it seems to be adding a black frame at the end of the render, so it skips when it loops.
I've created several of these videos just fine awhile back with the same file, and same preferences. The problem didn't start until I updated to CC 2014.
Anyone have any ideas? Am I just missing something in my render dialogue box?
Hi Kevin,
Hope you have a great week so far.
Can I ask you why Adobe doesn't fix this issue of adding an extra frame when setting an outpoint?
It happened to me multiple times when I assume that by skipping to the end of clip I set the output at the end of clip then forget adobe adds an extra frame. During broadcast rehearsal we end up going back to editing suit because of this. I've made this mistake enough times to learn but still when deadline is pressing and pressure is high it can still happen.
What is the reason of adding an extra frame?
Hello @Tobiasz23517314g5xu,
To be honest, Avid and Final Cut does this too. The key is to avoid setting the out point using the Playhead as a guide. If you do, go back a frame, then mark out!
Why is it that way?
The Playhead represents an entire frame, which has a head and a tail. It is not a "needle," even though it appears that way when zoomed at a normal Timeline zoom level.
If you zoom way in on the playhead, you can observe and understands why it behaves as such, and why you need to step back a frame when using it for marking out on a clip. It becomes a habit after awhile.
This is a "gotcha" that was taught to me in trade school when I learned Avid in the 90s. If you didn't take Avid 101, or a similar intro class, most editors have a "smack my head" moment the instant they discover that they've been mistakenly trimming off the head of the incoming frame of the following clip for years! 🙂
Actually, Avid has this feature where you can hold down the Ctrl/Command key to snap the playhead to the tail of the final frame of a clip, rather than the first frame of the incoming clip (and perhaps Premiere Pro should also have this feature). Otherwise, it's the nature of the beast and the way the Playhead is designed across every NLE I've ever used on the market.
When marking a clip rather than the last frame of the sequence, use the Mark Clip function instead of using the Playhead to mark Out. It sets a mark out as you'd want it to be.
Hope the info and the context helps.
Thanks,
Kevin
