CS5 – Messed up crossfades after export
Hey experts!
I have to say that I’m really pleased with Premiere Pro CS5 so far. I had no crashes at all since the release, but there is one bug that really is fatal and I hope you can help me out with it.
I have a huge problem with some simple crossfades after exporting the sequence. In my canvas window everything looks perfect as it should, but after exporting I get the following:
Let’s say this certain crossfade is 100 frames long. That means at frame 100 the opacity of the clip should be at zero. After export it’s not the case. At frame 100 the clip has an opacity of about 20% and just stops fading afterwards. This is noticeable and is for a perfectionist like me terrible and not acceptable.
I tried to achieve a perfect export with switching to other lossless codecs, with using cross disolve transitions or just keyframeing the opacity. There was always the same messed up ressult.
Here I have a small example clip for you:

At the end of the clip. Video A should have an opacity of 0%, but it doesn’t.I run Premiere Pro CS5 on Windows 7 with the latest updates. The source material is in SD and encoded in Lagarith .avi files.
Do you have any suggestions for me on how to fix this? This isn’t even the first project where this happens btw.

Try animating the opacity see if that will work out better.

Do you mean keyframeing the opacity? It didn’t worked.
Maybe it works if I use intermediate keyframes between the beginning (100%) and end keyframe (0%). Sounds good =)

I found a solution, but it’s quite annoying and there MUST come a patch against this Premiere Pro bug. It’s still unacceptable.
Import your sequence in After Effects and export it from there and it will work.
Every other attempt to solve this in Premiere Pro itself failed.

I have had the same issue in CS4. What worked for me was to insert ‘black’ video in the track underneath the crossfade. If the transition was in V1, I moved it to V2 and put a black video underneath it. For whatever reason, CS4 didn’t like seeing an empty track underneath. I only noticed it when I was fading to black and it didn’t always happen. I made the black video a little longer than the transition but the same length will probably work. Hope it works for you. It is an annoyance.

Dude! Thank you! Thank you so much!
I never thought about bringing it into AE to export.
My exports are often times screwed up. I’m a music video editor, so often times I have multiple layers blended together using different elements. The blacks, in particular, often times have problem and yes, with the opacity.
Other times I have absolutely no problem!
I think it must be a problem with Premiere Pro. I look at my program monitor and the export simply doesn’t match. After hours of trouble shooting and tons of test renders….you saved me.
Thank you.

Thanks bro, you just saved my life. It looks like it’s been 5 years and that’s still happening in Premiere Pro CC. The Black Video worked for me as well. Thank you so much
