Prerendering the project timeline helps you to detect and eliminate problems with particular project media or effects. If an error or problem occurs when you render the timeline, then troubleshoot the media or effect in the timeline. To render, ensure that the work area selection encompasses the entire timeline and under the Timeline pop-up menu, select Render work area.
If you are working with a file that is different from the rest of your footage, convert the file to the DV AVI format.
- Create an Adobe Premiere Elements project with the same settings as your clip.
- Import only the clip and add it to the timeline/sceneline.
- Click Export & Share and select Devices >Computer >720 X 480 resolution.
- Select AVI format from the Format dropdown list., type in a filename, and choose a location to save the file. Click Save.
- Open your original Premiere Elements project. Under the Project tab, right-click the original file and choose Replace Footage. Select the file created in step 4.
This type of error is commonly caused by a particular clip in your project. Using footage that is different from most of your clips (for example, from a different camera, different format, different codec, different frame size, different frame rate), could be the source of the issue.
If possible, try removing such clips from your timeline or sceneline and render or export your project again.
Troubleshoot footage or assets used in the project.
- Open the project with the issue in Adobe Premiere Elements.
- Save your original project, and create a copy of it called test by choosing File > Save As and renaming the project test.
- In the test project, delete everything in the project from the halfway point to the end
- Click Export & Share tab and select Disc. Select the DVD or Blu-ray settings you want, select Disc from the Type dropdown list, and then click Burn:
- If the error happens again, repeat Steps 2, 3 and 4, testing again with the other (first) half of the content from the timeline.
- If the error no longer occurs, add back the clips that you removed in small groups and test after each addition. When the error happens again, one of the most recent clips added back to the timeline is the cause.
- Once you identify the problem clip, return to your original project and remove or replace the problem clip or file.
- Save the corrected version of the project and export it to DVD or Blu-ray disc.
