Hey all, this is my first of what will most definetly be many posts. Okay, so I have finished my three second long clip complete with my actor shooting his gun. I playback the clip in Premiere and everything looks all right. In every frame, the detail of the muzzle flash is perfect. I render the work area (I actually dont know what that does but ive done it after every change ive made) and I mess around with the Export properties all the way I can think of but everytime I play the finished movie, the muzzle flash bounces all over the place instead of being perfect, the way I left it. What I mean is, the flash .gif appears out of position so it looks as the flash is completely off the gun. I don't know what to do. I would very much appreciate it if someone would help me out. Thanks a lot.

Is the gif an animated one, perchance? (animated before being imported, that is)

Are you setting keyframes for each frame?

The GIF is not animated, and there are keyframes for each frame.

What version of premier are you using?

It seems like a problem when you rendered your workspace. Have you tried re-building a scene and testing that?

latest. yes, and everytime the flash image appears out of its appointed position.

Try this:

Project >> Project Settings >> General

There is a checkbox for "Scale clips to project dimensions when adding to sequence".

Make sure that is turned off.

Other than that... no idea :cool:

All right, that got it. You're a hero Zensteve. Hey all, just like to say thanks. I really appreciated all the help.
