Black screen when I export video from photoshop

[Nat123456]

Hello,

Every time I try to export/render a video animation as an mp4 it plays with a black screen. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

All black or is just the background black.  Video does not support transparent backgrounds like amimated Gif.

I'm having a similar issue- the screen is just completely black (but it plays for the correct amount of time)

I'm having the same issue! can't find an answer anywhere! Did you ever resolve this??

Also dealing with this issue. Correct time but black screen. I rendered a shorter video earlier today and it worked just fine. It was saved as an mp4. I have tried changing the size, preset, format, nothing seems to work. I would love a hand. I have exported heftier files in the past through photoshop, which I use to animate, but I have never had this problem. The video is only 30 secs.

hey

had this problem all night and its been so frustrating :')

I think ive figured out through process of elimination with other successful exports that the reason mine was doing it was that - 

I didnt have a background layer underneath everything that was white in pixels / not transparent. So yeah , adding a white pixel background layer below everything worked for me. I know in the future I will just be starting my PS animation documents with a white background instead of transparency.

Now theyre all exporing fine. 

not sure why or how this works as I am such a beginner but hope this helps someone!

Thank you! Am also a beginner.

I was trying to export a video from Photoshop as a GIF and one of the video layers was just a black screen when exporting but it the video played for the correct amount of time. 

Adding a layer at the bottom with a solid color fixed my issue when exporting, there was no longer a black screen. I didnt use any transparency or effects in my video. I don't know why this fixed the issue but in the future I'll just add a solid color underneath videos.
