Parts of the render are dark (CS4)
I’m rendering out some regular qt clips in 800×600(original clips are in the same size). Regardless of what codec I use, some specific clips always render out darker then displayed in premiere (both the source and preview window display that it should be bright). I’ve double and triple checked to make sure there are no effects, no changes in opacity, nothing above these layers that would make it darker or anything. Even tried copying and pasting just those specific clips that have the darkness issue into a new sequence and it still renders out dark.
Edit: Actually I just realized that literally every other clip is darker, I don’t quite understand the significance behind that but maybe it will help shed some light on the issue.I’ve solved the issue but I’d still like to understand what the cause is if anyone knows.
My solution was replacing the dark clips with exactly the same file from the bin…in essence, delete the dark clip, drag the same clip from the bin into the timeline. And v’wala it was fine. So any ideas as to why this happened so I could avoid going nuts in the future?Many thanks in advance!

Hey Stanley I’m experience the same problem with the dark videos. I didn’t understand what you meant by deleting the dark clips/replacing the ones in the bin etc.
Could you explain it more thoroughly? When I delete the video from the timeline then drag the same clip from the dumped files, its the same thing.
Help would be veery much appreciated since I can’t find anything else on this topic. Thanks.

Ahh well, I think what it came down to was that there were time remapped keyframes that caused it to go dark for some reason. Try either deleting the keyframes or re-place it(literally, if you have clip “A” on the timeline, just delete it and just put the same clip back).
The bin are the files (usually) on the left side of the screen, essentially you’re project folder with all the clips that you imported into your sequence.Hope that made sense.
