Hi Creative Cows,
PLEASE can someone help me out (and all those that additonally are baffled but won't admit it).
I've spent many hours over several weeks trying to figure this out to no avail.
All I need to do is take my footage of a 'presenter' standing in front of a green screen and key out the 'green' to export as a visual with a TRANSPARENT background to use in PPro CS3.
If it means anything, I'm getting a big question mark show up in the preview monitor.
Additionally, when I go to export (or output) the file it stops after a few seconds and brings up the error message - Render loop failed to render one of the images.(null)
(8004022e)
Please can someone post an idiot proof step-by-step instructions guide as to how this process works, because after reading and watching several tutorials I'm still getting nowhere.

I've been using Adobe Ultra for awhile now, and only recently I've encountered this same "Render loop failed to render one of the images." It's extremely frustrating. I tried multiple clips and each clip had it's own "stopping" spot during export.
Adobe claimed they never saw this issue. I'm working with HD 1080i footage. My workflow had always been, take it into Premiere CS3, export it as an uncompressed avi, then into ultra to key out background, and finally to flash to put on the web. However, since I've gotten that error it seems I have to change things.
Adobe gave me to suggestions: 1) defrag your system. They said perhaps the footage we're bringing into Ultra is saved in multiple spots on the system which ultra can't handle. 2) export first from premiere from the media encoder as a BlueRay mpeg without audio, put it in ultra and then bring back to Premiere to link with Audio - BUT the export from premiere seems to screw up the time of the file by dropping frames in the beginning or end of the clip.
