Wow, I had no idea it was so necessary to use the black video. So apart from trouble shooting potential export problems, what advantage is there from using black video over ‘the void’? I would have thought the gaps are determined by the project’s video settings (frame rate etc.) and would effectively have become ‘black video’ anyway? Obviously I’m very wrong about that!

Pretty sure it was yes. is that the only thing that could be wrong?

They were part of a suite, dynamic link doesn’t seem to be much use either.

The solution in the end was to abandon CS3 and just get CS4. I think what put me off before was assuming that since CS4 was the step up in the Prem Pro software it would be too taxing for a computer which was also seemingly being taxed by CS3. Actually the opposite applies, it seems if you have a 64 Bit system CS4 is the way to go for a smoother time working with it with less potential problems. Hope this helps anyway else having the same trouble.

Also I should add that this is Windows XP and a 64 Bit OS

The 3G switch seems to have helped a lot as crashes are clearly less frequent and the performance tab on windows task manager looks a lot better when rendering. Still having a lot of hassle though. Blah. Its so frustrating that its got like this when only a week ago it was fine.

Hi Eric. Thanks a lot for your response. I’ve since reinstalled CS3 and opened a new project, importing the former one into this. I’ve also deleted all my old preview file folders as they were piling up with copies of basically the same project which I felt might be adding to the confusion. So far things are running a bit better and I can manage to save my project. While rendering there are less freezes happening but rendering does always seem to stop before its finished at an arbitrary point saying ‘error compiling movie’. Once I open the project up again I can carry on as before. I’ve taken your advice and hit the 3G switch so hopefully that might help my problems, although it seems difficult to find out how to check if the switch is actually in effect?
Once again thank you for your prompt and useful advice,
Jonathan

I’ve attempted to work the footage AGAIN in another project and on opening it says ‘The scratch disc location is either write protected or unavaliabe. Premiere will set My Documents as the location instead.’
Perhaps somehow my external HDD is blocking my render files due to it becoming somehow an ‘unsafe’ location?

As an added bonus, Adobe Premiere Pro has now decided not to be able to save my project at all. Every time I get a succesful 30 secs or so rendered, on saving it says something along the lines of ‘Adobe Premiere Pro has encountered a problem whilst saving…please ‘save file as…’ in order to save your project. On attempting this however the same message comes up. Forcing me to eventually give up and load it up to try again.

Perfect, yeah its only going on vimeo, thanks a lot for the advice.
