My short film has an opening that includes my company logo "blah blah blah presents" and it builds this logo over the course of about 100 frames and then holds for about 25 frames while some music builds to a cresendo. At about frame 130 there is an electric guitar that starts the movie's theme and when the first CRASH of the guitar's power chord is struck, the whole logo blows apart and transitions into the film's opening title sequence.
Now, during that 25 frame hold period, I have a starburst that flashes quickly off of the corner of one of the letters in the word "Presents".
All of this stuff was created in a CG application called Lightwave 3D. The starburst is created by putting a point light on the letter where I want the effect to occur. I ramp the light intensity from 0 to 100 and back to 0, add a star filter to the light and a lens flare ring.
I render this crap out as uncompressed AVI in HDV resolution (1440x1080 Pixel Aspect 1.33).
I drop it into premiere and it looks killer...Except that I get no starburst. I can see that the light blast has affected the other items in the sequence (since lightwave ray-traced all of that) but I do not see the burst.
So I load the sequence into media player (It's uncompressed - about 1GB of data) and it plays it - Albeit VERY slowly but I can see each frame and sure enough, there is my starburst in all of it's glory...
Does anyone have ANY clue why Premiere would do this? I overcame it by re-rendering the sequence as a series of TIFF files and dropping that into the timeline. When I did that it worked perfectly...
