It’s really bizarre. The audio transitions are really abrupt too. If I apply a dissolve effect or add a dissolve via keyframes, the dissolve is only audible for the last few frames of the clip, no matter how long I make the transition!

Interesting. And I’m on a PC so it looks like it affects both.

Hi Joe! Thanks for the suggestion. I haven’t tried that yet. I don’t have Quicktime Pro but I’ll look into it.
I have found an awkward workaround that seems to be kind of working so far. First, I export the video file from Media Encoder as the exact same file type, just processed through Media Encoder. When I do that though, the audio is always exported as dead silence, so then I go back to Media Encoder or Premiere and export the audio as a .wav file. Once both the video and the audio have been exported, I marry them together in Premiere. This seems to get rid of the glitchy video blips that I was getting before.
Then, to get the audio limiter to work, I put edits into the timeline to turn the overall video into shorter segments on the timeline using the Razor tool. Then I apply the Dynamics Limiter to the clips on the timeline INDIVIDUALLY, not to the overall audio mix. This is the only way to keep the audio from fluctuating to those really low levels I was talking about in my original post.
So, between those techniques I’ve been able to export a video file that doesn’t contain any video glitches and also retains the -20dB audio limit through the whole video. I still haven’t figured out the unexplained extra time in the timecode, though. It still exports 5 to 10 seconds longer than the timeline timecode. I just told master control that the tv programs I’m submitting aren’t to time and have to be cut off at the end. I add extra channel ID filler at the end of the program to allow for it, but it’s still frustrating.
