Hello!
I`ll try to make this quick because I need help asap. I`ve been starting to make YouTube gaming videos 3 weeks ago and my channel is growing up pretty fast. I promised I would make a video everyday but it`s been a full week since I couldn`t upload because I was busy and when I tried to render it failed.
Anyway here`s how it goes.I`ve recorded with fraps some gameplay footage with the resolution of 1360x706. One of my friends reccommanded me Adobe Premiere Pro for editing so I`m using the trial version of CS6. I create a new project and choose a format of 720 25 (cant really remember the exact name). I then import my recorded files and when I place them in the sequence it tells me the resolution is different and asks me if I want to change the sequence settings according to the files. Usually, I ignore it and when I export the Media I just tick the option: "Scale to Fill" and that usually works just fine, quality HD on YT...
But this week it has driven me crazy, I really don`t want to explain how much stress and dissapointment this has caused to me because I think I`ll end up raging...I`ll just tell you I`ve been trying for a couple of days more than 7 time to render the project(each time it takes about an hour and a bit more, so let`s just call it 7 hours wasted). The problem actually is that when I check the output file after exporting the media, the file size is ONLY 24 bytes!!! Other times the file size gets to like half of the one that should be or less, but mainly the render even so takes up a normal length of time of processing but in the end the file is only 24 bytes..Thing is I don`t encounter any error whatsoever...
I really need some urgent help!
Thanks!
1st, some FRAPS information
These are for Premiere Elements, but may help with PPro

2nd, it is REALLY better to have your project sequence match your video
Please NOTE that the PPro CS6 screen may look a bit different (I use CS5)
For CS5 and later, the easy way to insure that your video and your project match

Will take a look into it. But I usually go for an exporting format called YouTube HD 720 25 because that is what it`s best and suited for YouTube, that`s why I usually dont change the sequence setting to match the video`s one so that in the end I can "Scale to Fill" the media for the YouTube HD 720p 25 format.
UPDATE: I get the same problem...I`m sick tired of this crap, what the fudge do I have to freaking do to get this piece of crap to freaking work? What kind of program doesn`t do a basic function he was DAMN designed for...????????????????
Really now, I`m sick of this. Maybe I should have gave up this bug-program from the first time. Wasted days only to find it he seems to actually don`t even work.
Settle down mate. You will wake the baby!
You are working with non standard video so you need to get your settings sorted.
How about telling us everything about the fraps source files, the sequence settings and your export settings.
Knowing a bit about your computer and the way it is set up will help as well.
If you want help, please answer the questions here:

This usually problem usually occured at random, and after 2 failed attemps the third rendering would be completed perfectly, now it has happened all week around, therefore I couldn`t really call a pattern for this problem.
For the Video Capture settings in fraps I use: 60fps, split movies every 4gigabytes, record win7 sound and also record external output which is my headset. All the files I record with fraps have the resolution of 1360x706.
When importing the files into Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and making a new project I usually go for a format of 720p 25, then when I place the media in the sequence I used not to modify it to have the same settings. When I was done editing I would choose Export>Media then choose the format of H.246 and the preset of YouTube HD 720p 25 and if then tick the "Scale to Fill" so that the video would have no black margins and it would have been perfectly fine.
My videos or of a length of aprox 10 minutes so the rendering would be done in an hour or so. Now, it has failed every single time, in what meaning? Well, the rendering always took as much as it should have been but the end product, the output rendered file, is only 24 bytes of space!
Hope this helped you make an idea and possibly spot out the problem.
