The only thing that makes sense to me is that one account is a “Limited” account and one account is a an “Administrator” account.

Go into Control Panel and change your “Limited account to Administrator” and that might fix the problem.

Try exporting as an avi file.
Then use Quicktime PRO to convert it.

Here’s are the specifics.

Click on the Timeline so you know it’s chosen

From the menus choose:

File
Export
Adobe Media Encoder
Format – click on the arrow and choose h.264
Preset – click on the arrow and choose Youtube
then ok.

I’d spend the time to learn Premiere, it gives you lots
of options. Also search on YouTube for training videos.

You don’t say what version you’re using, but either way,
my recommendation is to subscribe to Lynda.com.
It’s only $25/mo. and they have some great tutorials on Premiere. Premiere is a bit complicated.

Also Wrigley Video has some great free tutorials:

The new CS3 version has an export to YouTube format as a Preset, which makes it very easy.

There are a lot of experts which don’t like to use Norton Security programs as they hog a lot of the processor resources.

I’d try to uninstall Norton – note you may need to do more than just the regular “Add/Remove” – do some research.
It may be trying to virus sweep while you’re rendering.

I’m not sure why you would put an image in the Titler.

If you put your PSD file in Premier it would show just fine.
then just add your text from the Titler.

Here’s another option –
Do all your work in Photoshop (pictures and text) and then just import your file as layers.

I know that there are a lot of programs which do this.
I haven’t checked them out – but this is one I’ve tried and it works great.

As a presenter, it’s exactly what I’m looking for and seems to have the power to do a good job.

The only comment I might have is that 2650 watts will probably blow the circuit of wherever you’re shooting.

You might have to have some long extension cords to plug into another room with a different circuit.

Check with Videomaker.com and DigitalJuice.com for some tutorials.

Hi Sarah,

I’m not an expert in this field, but I do know that soft light is much easier on your subject than hard light.
Use an umbrella as a minimum for most shots.

http://www.bhphotovideo.com has some low cost options.

Here’s one of the lights I use.

It’s relatively cheap and does a nice job.

It was dust!

Thanks to Mike especially, but everyone in general.

I used a bit of compressed air and my head cleaner and things were back to normal.

You saved me quite a few hours of editing frame by frame.

YOUR TERRIFIC!
