Exporting Black Video

I recently updated to Premiere Pro CC 13.0, and since then my videos have been exporting black. The titles still come through on the finished file, and the audio exports as well. The video files are just black. Everything looks fine in the project and in the export preview. I've tried exporting with Encoder and without it and same result.

I'm using h.264 with custom settings, but the exact settings I was using prior to updating. I also can't open my project file on the old version of Premiere because I've updated them to 13.0.

Any ideas?

What I did which worked was I replaced by entire video I used. I had shot on my iPhone and so I converted the .mov to an .mp4, replaced the video, and it worked. Must've been something with the file type.

If you're rolling your eyes at this suggestion b/c you already editted your whole timeline than I believe there is a way to replace all of one piece of footage with another with the exact same cuts and aspects. Refer here: https://youtu.be/x9OvNoMgI48

hi, can I ask where did you convert your video from .mov to .mp4? thanks

Tried all those approaches - however for me it was just one sequence (originally an .mp4) out of 50 that exported black (and actually was upside down when imported into Premiere Pro - go figure ...). What finally helped was that I took the original of that sequence, opened it in Quicktime player and exported it. Now I had a .mov file and that worked flawlessly. No black window when pausing the preview and the exported video worked fine, too. Hope this helps somebody.

I have been trying to export my video several different times now trying every single fix in this thread as well as updating my media encoder and still no luck. My first minute of video shows up (the part with the most technical editing) but the rest displays a black screen (the parts with the least complex editing). I can still hear all of my audio but I cant see the rest of my video.

hi,
Try this fix:
- delete all files and folders in "C:\Users\Username\Documents\Adobe"
- Re-open Premiere Pro
- Try to render again

I figured out that the clips that are rendered black were the cuts of the same nested clip. When I opened the nested clip, the eye of the track was off. I don't know why It was showing all clips preview in the main sequence even when the preview of the track was off in the nested sequence. The solution was not just turning track preview ON. To fix this problem, go through this process:
1- Save the project, close and reopen it.
2- Now it will not show the preview of clips that are part of the nested sequence.
3- Turn on the preview inside the nested sequence. But the main sequence will still not show the preview of clips that are part of the nested sequence.
4- Select all clips of the nested sequence's required track and move them to the upper track. Now remove them to the bottom track again.
5- Go to the main sequence, it will now show previews & render the same (WYSIWYG).

hi,

This worked for me:

Go to "Sequence" menu - "Sequence Settings". Select Editing mode as "HDV 1080p". Timebase: 23.976 frames. OK. Confirm to regenerate the previews.

That absolutely worked for me. 🙂

2 years later, issue is back. Exported a video now with custom settings earlier today, exported fine. But now, completely black. Had to match settings as well to get an image.
