Black frames or adjacent frame in final render Adobe Premiere Pro 2020

This is primarily a user-to-user forum with Product Support staff over-sight. Occasionally an engineer does come on here, but not often. Anne and I are rather experienced users especially at troubleshooting issues, and help out here ... as do so many others.

Yes, I watched your video. At the first, you have set in/out points, that look to be the length of the clip on the sequence, and exported using "sequence in/out" as the selection to be exported. So I can't tell what you did to make the selection ... and your action to make the selection is crucial.

If your method was to say hit the up-arrow to get to first frame of clip, hit i ... then down-arrow and o to set in/out points ... you would get exactly as your video showed, including the first frame of the next clip.

If you have made the selection by say hitting I at some point, then down-arrow to last clip, or even don't set a specific out point ... it will also give you one frame of black at the end.

Say for the clip dragged off by itself. I bring the cursor/CTI over it, hit the / key on an English keyboard to select clip, then export ... I get only the clip, no black frame/s at the end.

If I just select with a mouse click a clip off by itself, then export with "sequence in/out", it will export the entire sequence including the blank space in-between.

So ... how you select the material to be exported ... and how the Export dialog are set ... matter.

How are you selecting in/out points?

Like Ann, I don't have this happen. And I work hours a day in Premiere. So something is most likely off somewhere in your setup, installation, or working processes.

Trashing preferences fixes a lot of Premiere's odd behaviors when it goes wonky. Which is why it's high on the list of things to just do when anyone gets bolluxed behavior.

This happens mostly when one doesn't understand the location of the CTI ... current time indicator, or 'playhead'. And uses certain ways to select what to export.

The CTI is always parked "on the next frame". So when you hit say down arrow it takes you to the first frame of the next clip. If you set the in/out points to that ... you will include the first frame of the next clip. To avoid that, hit down-arrow then the left arrow to go back one frame, then set your out point.
