Hey guys & gals Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
For the last two days I have pretty much torn the remaining hair from my scalp...
I have a 190 minute 1920x1080 25p Video, all prepared in Premiere Pro.
The Video has ONE audio track and THREE video tracks.
Each of the Video tracks has some transitions (in my case: Roll Away (page peel)).
One of the vids is the main video, the two others should appear in Picture-in-Picture Frames created with After Effects.
The end result should then be rendered to MPEG2-DVD and a DVD created with Encore.
Here are my two (?) problems.
Problem 1: Premiere Pro & After Effects
- When replacing my nested sequences (each video track is its own nest) and send it to AE all seems well.
- However: None of my transitions will render out of AE (basically clip 1 cuts right away to clip 2 without the transition)
Problem 2: MPEG2-DVD export - sound is too short
- When I render my footage to MPEG2-DVD using AME, the sound is always too short.
- Example: I got a 24 min chapter and the sound only lasts around 23 minutes. Then it just goes silent while the rest of the video plays.
- (I multiplexed the sound into the MPEG2 file).
Possible Solution?
I have tried so many things already... Now I am thinking about this:
Is this a solution for #1?:
- export every video track separately and lossless (Windows Media, 1920x1080 25p ?)
- export the sound sound track as AAC sound.
- Create a new timeline with the newly rendered (have all transitions in them) videos.
- THEN send them to AE again. AE does its thing.
For Problem #2 (sound too short) I have no idea right now. That is the most vexing of my problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
