    I am just finishing up this video.

    I Export it, and its missing the last 15 seconds of video

    I notice that the ‘left out’ video is in darker grey on right as you can see by the picture attached.

    Its outside the light colored grey playing area that IS exporting.

    I notice there are 2 upper arrows, one on each side of the storyline that indicate
    where the starting and stopping point of ‘exported’ video is.

    How can I change this to accept the other 15seconds of video?


    What are you thoughts?

    That’s a compound in a compound.

    You need to extend the limits of the compoun if you have tails available, or break it apart within the other compound.

    You are in a compound clip inside a project. Use the back button in the upper left to return to the project or go back to the project library Cmd-zero and reopen the project. Export the project not the compound clip. You should also update to the current version after you do that.

    All the best,

    Tom

    Look at that screen grab of your timeline and focus on the top left corner.

    See the name of your project happiness 1 > compound clip > compound clip?

    That means your timeline is in a clip which is in a clip.

    Why did you make two compounds like that? Is three a reason?

    You can step back by hitting the left arrow and see what’s going on.
