Hi there.
I am not sure what version of Premiere you are using, but my feeling is that the same thing is happening at edit time.
My guess is that you are not sizing your preview window correctly and are not actually seeing those black edges in the preview.
Try zooming your preview window all the way out until you are sure that you are seing the “Entire” video.
You will likely have to go back to the problem areas and make sure that you don’t zoom the images out as much, then re-export to wmv.
It shouldn’t take that long if you still have the original project and pictures in place.
Cheers,

That problem is usually due to fragmentaion on the disk, or issues with disk transfer speed. Your sytstem seems way ahead of minimum requirements though.
You could try downloading a program called Windv: https://windv.mourek.cz/.
That should take care of your dropped frames issues (Uses a memory buffer), and hopefully the random restarts as well.

I have not seen any realistic clouds made in AE without a 3rd party plugin.
I think “Particle Illusion” may be something worth looking into.
Or you could dive into Cinema 4D 😉

I won’t start an argument either 😉
But I think I would side with Mylenium on this; Just because there are many TV set and DVD players that do support NTSC, there also are many that do not. Of course, it also depends on what parts of Europe we are talking about, but if compatibility is an important factor, I would stick with PAL.

Hi Martin,
A couple of things to consider here. There are many different types of AVI, none of which can be directly burned to a DVD. DVD format is Mpg2, so any AVI’s you export will have to be recompressed (By your DVD authoring software) to Mpg2 in order to be burned on a DVD.
There is a setting in Premiere to export to “Uncompressed” or “lossless” AVI, with no loss in quality. If you are noticing a loss in quality with your AVI, then you are probably using a medium to high compression codec.
But the bottom line is that you are likely just better off exporting to mpg2, since the files are then ready to be burned without any further compression, and time waiting for it.
One final thing to consider is the limited space on a DVD. When you export directly through Media Encoder at a specfic quality setting, the final video may end up over the 4.7 Gb limit (Single layer) and your DVD authoring soft will have to recompress again to keep it under that limit, thus another further loss in quality and another 2 hours + waiting.
So the first solution is to calculate the final file size with the quality setting given (Whole other thread but plenty of articles on that around).
Or, export to “uncompressed” AVI and let you DVD authoring software calculate the best setting for you. This is the best solution if you have several videos, and some king of motion menu in your DVD (Encore DVD does this pretty well)
Hope that answers your question.
Cheers,

Do a quick seach on the forums, there are many suggestions there.
If you have access to Canopus Pro Coder, this is what I would recommned as far Software conversion goes.
But there are many other free ways to do it. You can take a look here for a few articles on the subject:

Did by any chance Windows movie maker convert those to a different format such as WMV ?
It sure sounds like a corrupted audio file.
I would recommend using either Premiere’s capture feature or try downloading Windv. It’s a cool free DV capture utility.
If you can’t capture them again, you maybe able to convert the file to an uncompressed format with another application.
There are a few free ones here: https://www.brothersoft.com/video_tools_freeware_download_1.html
Good luck,

Why not just put them on a different track and cut the extra stuff ?

Basically zoom in until you lose the black on each side. Depending on the footage you can also try to stretch horizontally a little to compensate.

Premiere pro 1.5 is the most up to date. They started the count over and added the word Pro in front of it. It was a huge jump in the quality of the product from Premiere 7.
2.0 is now the current version, and is also a huge improvement over 1.5
