Question

Exported file duration as long as longest source video

I'm putting a simple video together with four source files playing in each quarter of the screen. The timeline shows the video should be 3:42, but when I export, the video length is the duration of the longest source file, which is 17:43, and it is all black screen after 3:42. This project was imported from Premiere Pro 2020 to 2021. I cannot figure out how to get the export to be limited to the timeline in Premiere Pro. I'm sure it's something simple, but I haven't encountered this before.

You probably have a stray frame somewhere around 17:43 in your Sequence.


Place an In Mark one frame after where you want the export to end and then do a Lift.

 

Or

 

Mark your In to Out range in you Sequence and then export.

Warren,

 

Thank you for your response. I did a \ and did not see any stray frames. In fact, the timeline only goes out to 13:##. It doesn't even go out to 17:42. I'm not sure how I can have a stray frame off the timeline.

I reimported the exported file into a new project in Premiere Pro 2021, and cut off all of the black screen time, making the new timeline file 3:42. I exported again, and it resulted in a 17:42 video.

 

I then reimported the exported file into a new project in Premiere Pro 2020 (still installed), and cut off all the black screen time, making the new timeline file 3:42. I exported again, and it resulted in a 3:42 video.

Is there some weird setting I need to change in 2021?

Thanks!
