I’m guessing that the circle is a stroked path.
First, I’d Object/Path/Outline Stroke, or Object/Expand.
Then perform the Pathfinder operation.Or, if you need to keep the stroke, you could apply a clipping mask.

Note, I’m in CS4 and the file is CS5, so there could be a difference between what we are seeing.
I guess, I can’t speak to how you actually created the objects, but what I’m seeing is two objects, two closed paths.
I would use the Direct Selection tool to delete the the path in both objects that make the seam. Then use the DS tool again, select the top two joint points and Object/Path/Average, then Object/Path/Join.
Then do the same with the lower points on the seam (Average and Join).A visual test you could do is to make two duplicates of an original closed object (the left or right side of your glasses).
Delete the ‘seam’ path in one, and leave the seam on the other.
Then add a stroke and increase the weight to like 10pt, and you would clearly see a difference in preview mode.Basically, the ‘end-points’ wouldn’t join because they weren’t end points.
If you want to join objects, you can select both and:
Effect/Pathfinder/Unite or
Object/Compound Path/MakeI hope this is close to addressing your question

Post the file, or a stripped-down version that only has the problem components, and we will be able to tell you exactly what the problem is with your artwork.

Her you go! 🙂
A layered TIFF using the styles/settings:
1512_pspressurepen.tif.zipThe Photoshop ABR Brush settings file:
1513_pstechnicalpencils.zipThis was done in CS2, I think. Hopefully it works for you.

Unlocking layers/objects is just to make sure you can select all objects in the document, before you Select/All, to search for stray points. If the points are locked, you wouldn’t be able to select them or see them.
This is a different thing then doing some kind of prep for exporting layers.
I’ve seen AI files fail to export when there are stray points, and from the size of the art just being too large.In the past, I’ve reconstructed problem AI files by copying and pasting all of the parts into a new file.
Pasting into a Photoshop file is good too. I often like to have Smart Object versions of my files.
You should also be able to open the AI file with Photoshop.I’m guessing your RAM is 4 GB. Your specs seem fine, great HD setup!

Hard to say… Could be something in the file, could be your system…
If you get a chance, update your profile with your system specs, hardware, cpu, ram, os, app versions, etc.Maybe make sure all layers are unlocked, then Select All to see if there are any stray points somewhere outside the artwork.
Maybe the artwork is too big for your system.
Can you try opening the AI with Photoshop, then just let Photoshop rasterize it?

Make your document 1/2 scale – 100 cm x 550 cm.
Or smaller, 1/4 scale – 50 cm x 275 cm.Vince

For DV Widescreen, if you are working with square pixels – PAR 1.0, create graphics or video at 864×480 (I think that’s correct, although if you research it you will find conflicting numbers).
Ideally, you would be working with material that is 720×480 – PAR 1.2.
It’s possible Premiere isn’t interpreting the files aspect ratio correctly. You can select the files in the bin to view/edit the aspect ratio interpretation.
Just some thoughts.

For VBR, the compression setting are probably something like…
8000/6000/3825These are high settings. Anything higher and the program wouldn’t play reliably on DVD hardware, if at all.
To ensure the best quality, ensure that you are using 2-pass VBR encoding.

Not sure if this is the issue, but if you are displaying on a CRT it could be a broadcast-safe color issue.
If so, there’s a Broadcast filter in PP you could use. Just nest your final timeline in a new timeline, then apply the filter to it.https://library.creativecow.net/articles/rabinowitz_aharon/broadcast_safe/video-tutorial
There are a bunch of other tutorials on this issue.
