I don’t know of a reverse lookup myself.

But what about the title/ISCI of the spot? That way you can confirm what you produced versus what the client thinks. Or, if you do not have that title/ISCI on file, did he get the spot produced elsewhere?

Last but not least (especially with local direct clients) just put the darned image in there and color it done. 😉

Copy your sequence, so your original remains untouched.

On the sequence copy, apply those effects to just the two clips separated by the dip to white. See if that resolves the issue.

Hi Ryan. No file is attached.

What is the format of your timeline (HD or SD? 16:9 or 4:3 aspect)? What are your output settings for your render?

Jay, please let us know: Windows PC or Mac, what OS, what version of Adobe Suite.

Also, are you rendering direct from Premiere Pro, or sending the job to Media Encoder?

Is the issue related to your track patching at the left edge of the timeline?

You are on the right track, Duke. If you have the codecs, then you are good to go. We don’t need the player; apps like Videolan’s VLC player have taken care of that for a while.

Apple wasn’t spending any time or effort on Quicktime anyway. Over time, Quicktime will fade from the scene. As long as we have the codecs, we’re good for legacy playback and encoding.

Hello Adam. Before you place footage in the timeline, Right-click it and select Modify -> Audio. You can provide “instructions” there for hoe you want Premiere Pro to handle the audio. You can tell it to use one channel only, and which channel you want it to use.

Graeme, it’s OK to find yourself struggling at first. It does take a while to learn how to “think” like After Effects wants you to.

And indeed, some pre-made templates, while very cool, can choke some systems nearly to unconsciousness. AE wants fast hardware and lots of RAM.

The next thing I would try is an uncompressed intermediate file. This file will be crazy-huge. But it gives you a file from which you then render your final output.

Try rendering (uncompressed) just the problematic portion first. This file will possibly not play back smoothly (just too big), but will enable to spot-check and see if the issue disappears.

If it does disappear, do a full uncompressed render, the render from that for your final deliverable.

Hey Duke, Jeff is speaking truth here. A contemporary machine as he describes is the answer, for less money. Spend the extra cash on a boot SSD, if the unit you pick doesn’t already have one. A 1TB or 2TB video drive as well, and you are off to the races, editing instead of doing battle with old tech.
