Question

Black video freezes prior clip, rather than cutting to black

When I cut to black in my video, it seemingly randomly freezes on the last frame of the prior clip. This only happens during export, and I believe to be just smaller clips...? I can't exactly discern a pattern for this glitch, but it doesn't occur in smaller exports, only large ones (Such as the one I'm currently wanting to export, which is ~6.5 hours). Does anyone know why this could be happening?



(Little section to list the things I've tried: Replacing blank spots with black video, colour matte, etc. Ensuring there are no VFR files, exporting in media encoder,  and placing black video above all nests at appropriate spots)

Hi @ahlyoyl,

Thank you for your post. Welcome to the forum, as well. I'm Kevin from Adobe Support, a moderator here. I'm not sure what is causing the issue. I've never heard of that one before. Something it tells me that it's the nature of your workflow, source media, or hardware. As for workflow, a 6.5 hour export is much longer than the norm. You didn't mention the source media. Poorly acquired source media (acquired from streaming video, a mobile device, or drone, etc.) can cause unexpected behavior. Finally, if you are using unsupported hardware, that can also cause issues. We'd need a lot more information in order to help you. Can you help us out by providing that? Hope we can help!

 

Thanks,
Kevin
