I wanted to test its ability to <br />render high-quality avi files. I am able to play in Windows Media Player uncompressed avi files produced by other video editing packages; I wanted to see how Premiere Element's uncompressed AVI files compare. </p> <p>I took two, 7-second avi clips, put them into the timeline, and added a simple dissolve <br />transition between them. </p> <p>Under the Share section, I chose Uncompressed AVI as the format.</p> <p>As my clips lacked audio, I specified that audio should not be rendered. I rendered the clips. <br />It created a large (apx 400 mb) file. When I tried to play it in Windows Media Player (v11) I <br />first saw a message saying, "Looking for codec" (or words to that effect), followed shortly <br />after by a message saying "Codec acquired". But then I got a message saying that the file was <br />unplayable, and offered on online Microsft link to solve the problem. It took me to an audio-<br />related page which seemed to be of no particular help.</p> <p>So I tried rendering as uncompressed audio again, this time specifying that audio should also be <br />rendered (even there is no audio with my clips). I chnaged the sample rate from 48 khz to 44 <br />khz, a rate I usually use with Windows Media Player.</p> <p>When I tried to view the result in Windows Media Player, I got no error messages. Instead I just <br />got a black screen. I could see that a file was playing (the navigation slider at the bottom was <br />moving, and the time counter was progressing) , but there was no image.</p> <p>What might I be doing wrong?</p> <p>I've used Premiere Elements 1 for years. But if version 8 cannot handle this very simple task, I <br />won't buy it.</p>
