Like Adam, I am also exporting H.264. I’ve been playing around since my last post, but can’t seem to get QT to export properly. WMV will do for my purposes for now, but it would be nice to find out what is causing this lag,

Thanks for the info Vince. I took your advice and exported the file as a WMV and it played perfectly. Seems the problem may lay with Quicktime (or the way Premier is encoding the QT file?). I can’t see any export settings in the Quicktime export section in Premier that might fix my problem. That’s a pity as I much prefer to export Quicktime over WMV. But thank you anyway for solving my current problem.

Thanks for the info Vince. I do intend to have the final footage displayed for TV rather than DT Video.

I’ll check out your links now.

Thanks again.

Thanks to you both for your help. That fixed my problem, and now I have a new one!

As I stated above, my project settings are as follows: 720×480 widescreen 1.2 pixel aspect ratio, 29.97fps.

OK, so I do a little editing, insert a few pictures, a little video here and there, and then I decide to check the results so far to see what the rendered movie looks like. So I click on EXPORT/MOVIE, and check that the output settings match my project settings and export.

The trouble is, when I play back the rendered footage in a few 3rd party players on the PC, such as VLC or even Windows Media player, the aspect ratio is wrong. It’s as though the players don’t know they are playing a W/S video, and it plays as a standard 4:3 video.

Where am I screwing up?!

Thank you for the reply Ann. Such a pity it isn’t a simpler process, but I can handle it 😉
