I have had Premiere 6.0 for some time, but now I have a bit of spare time I'd like to transfer a bundle of tapes to DVD. (I do have Nero Platinum for the actual burning.) I've made up a 28 minute movie, even managed to add a crawling title, and was feeling quite pleased with my efforts. Now reality has struck! I have trawled back to last November but haven't found the answer yet.
With the project open in Premiere I have 2 files, the .avi file (8.2Gb)and the .ptl file (1.1Kb). In the File Menu > "Export Clip" is grayed out. "Export Timeline" offers a choice of which "Movie" seems the obvious choice. However, after exporting I end up with an .avi file of only 2.5Mb. Not quite enough I fancy! I can open the original 8.2Gb file in Nero Video, but that wouldn't then have the title included. It would seem that I need to "flatten" the movie and title into a single file and then opening that in Nero, like flattening an image in Photoshop, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Any enlightenment much appreciated.
