In Premiere Pro : File>Export>Movie>Settings there are four Group of settings – General, Video, Keyframe and Rendering, Audio. In General section you can check video or audio on and off. Maybe audio was off?

We have same kind of combination you like to have. Liquid Blue as well. I’ll say we are satisfied enough, so satisfied that we just ordered half a dozen more Decklink Pros to our graphic designers. Pro is good for us because all our material is SDI and we can monitor analog video.
There may be some tweaking with gamma shift when you are jumping between YUV and RGB colorspaces (between PPro and AE). Also audio monitoring is little pain because audio monitoring is SPDIF and there are not many loudspeakers that have SPDIF in.
You only need two SATA drives striped together in windows and you can grab and playback uncompressed. Just tested two empty 400G SATA150 drives in HP8200 striped together: read 117 MB, write 112,7 MB, uncompressed 8 bit Pal read framerate 147! -
More processor power is better of course. Are you doing any other tasks at same time when you are sending your graphics on air?
Have you separate disks (Raid) for your graphics? With what software you send your graphics on air? -
How are you sending your graphics to video mixer? Through BM Deck control, or?
Do you have genlock in to your DL Pro?
I have two decklink pros in two PCs (look at my profile). When I am rendering in After Effects using my homePC, I can see green flashes. But in RAM preview i don’t see any. Decklink Pro is in 66 Mhz bus.
In work PC (HP 8200) DL Pro is in 100 Mhz bus, and I don’t see any green flashes. Also I have genlock in to my workPC but not in to my homePC. -
Adobe After Effects is better software for layering. It doesn’t care too much about large files. And in puppet type of animation it’s ability to parent layers is also helpful.
You can of course make “layering” type of work in PPro as well, but if you don’t “zoom”
in your photos then it is unnecessary to make them bigger (in pixels) than your composition in PPro. -
Perhaps couple of unnecessary questions, what size are your stills? Audio file format? Processor and Ram?
Your project seems to be easy task for the software, but something in your material or computer makes it too difficult. -
I had same kind of problem, here is link

This was in march some drivers ago, I haven’t had same kind of work since. I think that Premiere (or Decklink tape control inside Premiere)don’t get feedback from VTR that it haven’t syncronized yet. I think Oscar’s propotion to increase preroll time to ten seconds is good workaround.

If you know avi file dimensions in pixels (for example width 1280 height 1024) you can open new custom size project with width 1024 height 1280 and import the AVI-file to timeline. Then use Effect Controls Motion > rotation 90 degrees or -90 degrees depending orientation. Then export new movie.
If you don’t know the size then import the AVI to any project and in project window you can find the pixel size of the file. -
Premiere Pro 1.5 came with 2d3 company’s SteadyMove-plugin. Effects>VideoEffects>2d3>SteadyMove. It may help you.

It is called toggle animation button (stopwatch icon), left to word brightness. Opacity is so called fixed effect, animation already toggled on (pointer in stopwatch icon).
