Common problems
This section describes how to resolve many common problems you may encounter while
using Premiere.
An option is missing
Be aware of the following:
•
The availability of many options in the Project Settings and Export Settings dialog box panels
depends on the type of project or file you’ve specified. For example, if you select an editing
mode provided by your video-capture card software, the codecs and file types available will be
only those provided by your video-capture card software and not Video for Windows or
QuickTime.
•
Some options are only available for a particular feature. For example, if you choose File >
Export > Frame, you can’t choose a video file format from the File Type menu; you can choose
only formats relevant for still frames.
Some menu commands or tools are not available
Check for the following:
•
A command may not be available for all items or clips.
•
Some commands are only available for some windows. For example, you can export only
when a clip is open in the Monitor or Clip windows or when the Timeline is active. If the
Project window is active, Export commands are unavailable.
Check the procedure in this guide for the command or tool you are trying to use to confirm
that an appropriate window is active or an appropriate object is selected.
