Well I ran the numbers and by golly you’re right. For some reason Premiere is spitting out TC that’s 24fps-based from zero and not 23.976, even though it says it’s 23.976 in the project, resulting in a .001 difference.
I am able to generate an EDL of TC out of Premiere (granted, it’s 24fps-based, apparently). So how can I best go about getting those numbers changed accurately according to the .001 difference? I’m not a programmer but I imagine writing something to calculate and spit out each new TC would be simple if one knew what he was doing? Any help here?

Actually, “Timecode” under “File” is greyed out and won’t let me choose it (and yes, I do have the video clip selected in the Project window). Is this just an issue with MXF files?

I checked the clip’s TC using P2 Viewer and Avid’s TC is correct. Is there a way to manually change a clip’s TC in Premiere?

BTW –
It trims my audio files like it should (chops them up into smaller subfiles) but not my mpg video files. And that’s what I want trimmed the most… -
I’ve got about 250GB free on a 500GB C drive. My project is saved on a separate internal 500GB drive that has 50 GB free.
System specs:
Dell w/ Core 2 Duo
Windows XP Media Center
SP2
2GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 7900GS -
I used AutoRuns, moved my project to a secondary internal HDD, and reencoded my audio files and now everything is working fine. Thanks!

For those interested, I think I found a workaround solution to my problem.
Another poster was correct that lowering the resolution of the photos would keep them from blacking out. Only problem is that I need that resolution because I’m panning and zooming in on them.
Now since my video footage has never blacked out on me like the photos were doing, I thought what if embed my photos into a video (a few frames each) and then just stretch out the time as needed per photo? So in order not to lose any resolution, I created a new after effects project with a video window of 2400×2400 – which is more than enough to contain any still I have. I then dumped in my still photos and gave them about 5 frames each. Exported that as an uncompressed avi video file, imported that into Premiere, and cut the video up into individual photos. Now that the photos are really video, I get no more blacking – but I still get to work with high rez photos. It’s definitely a workaround, but it seems to work…
