Hi all.

I have a copy of Premiere Pro 1.5, and I'm having some issues when exporting a movie. I have a pentium 4 3ghz, 1.5gig RAM, good enough graphics and audio cards etc etc. I summarize because I've never had problems exporting movies before.

Anyway, I've made a movie about 13 minutes long consisting of approximately 18000 frames, including several sequences, some nested, some not. When I go to export the movie (using the default settings for the final file), Premiere gets about half way through the render and jams up. Now the process box is still on the screen with the time elapsed number still counting up and the time taken number counting down to 0 (when it gets there, it just stays at 0), however the frames rendered and percentage complete parts show no activity. It jams up on approximately frame 9800-9900 (tried it a few times and it was always between those values).

Coincidentally I have a break in the movie just before the point at which it jams up where two sequences join, so I could actually export the former and latter halves as separate files and join them back together again in Windows Movie Maker or some such, but that's not ideal and I'd really rather not.

Does anyone have any idea what could a)be causing this (as I've never had exporting problems before with pretty big movies), and b)any idea how to solve it other than the work-around I've come up with? If you need any more info, please do ask.

Any help would be much appreciated. I've been working on this for months, and to be scuppered at the last hurdle is most annoying.
