Question

Video continues to play black screen after actual content ends

Hello Community

After my actual video content ends, the preview continues to play a black screen for ~10 minutes.  There are grey bars in the panel, I cannot select anything to the right of the end of the acutal content in order to try to delete it.  Please see screen shot.

Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thank you for your help!

That gray area is the Work Area. You hit the "I" key to set an In point after your last clip. To get rid of this you can clear the Work Area by going to the Marker Menu > "Clear In and Out" ("Ctrl+Shift+X"). Alternatively, if you did want to use the Work Area for previewing, rendering, or anything else, you can set new In/Out points using keyboard shortcuts "I" and "O."

    Thank you for your response and patience as I learn about this.  I used Clear In and Out and the grey bars are now gone.  However, the video still plays back a black screen and I also noted (and suspect this was happening before I cleared in and out) that the timeline continues to advance.

    A attached a new screen shot for reference.

    No problem, happy to help. Do you have a clip at the end of your timeline, even if it's only a single frame?  If you hit the "End" key on your keyboard from anywhere in your timeline it will jump to the end of the last clip. Does doing this move the playhead past the last clip in your screenshot?
