OK, so I have this long film I want to produce in Adobe Premiere. I produce it, but it only produces the first 6 minutes of it. Now I noticed the yellow strip on the very top of the timeline. It doesn't cover the whole work area. Does that affect how much of the project is produced? Please help! I need to get this done by Sunday.

If you say "produce" then i'm guessing you mean rendering. You render the parts that have the line above it b/c you changed the clip in some way. adding effects, changing the motion, can make you render it. If there is no line above it, you're fine.

The yellow line is your current work area. When you're working on something long and you're doing something piece by piece, it's helpful to adjust that to simply fit the area you want to deal with at that moment. If you want to render the whole thing you need to make the work area the length of the video (pull the yellow strip across the whole thing). That way rendering/rolling off/exporting/etc will apply to the whole work. good luck. hope i helped.

The yellow strip is the work bar. To "produce" or to render your entire project, drag the yellow strip from the beginnig of your timeline to the end of your project. Then push enter and wait for the entire thing to "produce" (render). The reason that its' only rendering hte first 6 minutes is because your work bar or what you know as the yellow strip is only stretched fromt eh beginning to your 6 minute mark. Hope I helped!

OK sorry, 'produce' is from another program I use, actually I mean exporting, not rendering. I think. Or are they the same? Sorry I'm not very experienced. But anyway, I still have the problem, and I fixed the yellow thing. It still cuts off before the ending.

rendering and exporting are not the same. but your problem at the moment would be the same for either, just stretch out the work bar across the entire thing. o, and make sure you render it before you export it.

If it's exportign your doing, make sure on teh settings when you export at the bottom, you put it to entire project, or if you have hte yellow bar stretched across your entire film, set it to work bar.
