Flicker showing up in exported videos with various codecs

I am exporting videos using various codecs and all of them are showing a flicker occasionally that is obviously not in the original footage or in the editing footage. The flicker is a brief one-frame looking jump to black. The flicker only seems to occur viewing it on the web. Viewing the same file on my system using "Preview" (Mac OS X) produces the same flicker. However, watching it using the full QuickTime viewer does not show the flicker.
The footage was shot using a DSLR and is from a Pentax K7 and is 1280 x 720, 25 fps.
Edited footage in Premiere CS6 looks fine. I am using export settings for 720p from H.264 for YouTube, Vimeo and straight HD 720p at all three available frame rates (23.976, 25.0 29.97). I have also exported using QuickTime codecs at HD 720p, H.264
Here is a link to two examples of the videos with the flicker probelms. One flick occurs in the first one in several places, the first one right at the beginning as the fade-in is still occurring, but occurs in both videos throughout occasionally.

Any idea as to what is causing this and hot to fix it?
Thanks.

Bad form putting QuickTime's on the web.  This requires unwanted plug-ins to be required for viewing.
Use MP4 instead.

  • Export Video with Multiple Audio Tracks

    I need to be able to export video with audio on multiple tracks. I have moved to CS6 from FCP 7 where this was rather easy to do. I can make a preset in AME with more than enough mono tracks but after the encode the video is always smashed to one mono track. I am not doing a 5.1 mix, there are different mic's on each track that need to remain independant of one another and mixing them down within Premiere is not feasable. Are there no options to just have the audio 'pass through' like Compressor? Sorry if there are other posts but I have been searching forever and can not find a simple answer on this topic.
    Also, is there no way to have the source timecode burn in? Putting a filter on the video in a sequence is unacceptable, I am very displeased to find that this doesn's seem possible in AME or Premiere, it has been part of Apple's suite for years.
    Example of my preset from Compressor:
    Name: Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy)
    Description: QuickTime movie with Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy) and audio pass-through

    Hi James,
    For exporting a multitrack .wav file, you have to start a project with a multichannel audiomaster (3-16 tracks).
    Copy and paste your complete edit to the new editsetting.
    Now in the audiomixer you can route your audiolayers to the multichannel you like.
    (CH1+2 pan to left is channel 1, pan to right is channel 2 and for a stereo track pan to center : channel 1 for left and channel 2 for right.)
    Then you export your project to a 3-16 tracks multitrack .wav file.
    When you need mono tracks you can import your multitrack .wav file in premiere. Then send it to Audition (edit in Audition) and then adobe will convert the file into mono tracks.
    You'll find the mono tracks in your audio capture folder or can premiere search for then by 'reveal in explorer'.
    The multi track .wav file has got timecode within the file.
    When exporting in QT you can also choose for a multitrack audio file. It also contains your timeline timecode.
    .avi or .mp4 video files cannot be exported with more than 5.1 channels of audio
    MXF OP1a in XDCAMHD can also be exported with max. 16 channels of audio. It also contains your timeline timecode.
    Hopefully you can get further with Premiere Pro with this info.
    Succes with it!!

  • Exporting video with normal settings but video plays buffered

    Hi,
    I have a preset in APP that i always use for TVC, today i went to use the same preset (with good quality footage) and when i go to play the exported video it plays very buffered and you can barely watch it.
    I exported a video yesterday using the same preset and now that does the same thing (yesterday i worked fine) on other computers too it also buffers.
    Any ideas?

    the frame rate was very high i changed it down to 25 (thats the only thing i changed' and exported it again as H.264 format and 'match source'. still shows as skipping when playing exported video.
    The video footage i am using to create this video is in quick time - would that have anything to do with it?
    Did you try manually lowering the bitrate as I suggested?
    If the original MOV footage plays fine, I don't see a reason for it being an issue after being exported.

  • Exporting Video with Iphoto

    I exported some videos in Iphoto and didn't select "Original" when exporting.  After exporting I'm only left with thumbnails of the videos in .mov format but the video in only 1 second long.  I deleted the originals in Iphoto.  Is there anyway to restore or recover these videos?  I noticed the videos are various sizes so I'm hoping the orginal data is still in there...  Thanks!

    Guess what - you answered my question with "no Information"
    "As to what you exported unless you exported the original then youhave no video"

  • Can I mimic a 'slide show' of stills and videos with this technique

    I want to be able to mimic an old fashioned slide show on a Blu-ray disk, except that each 'slide' – I'll call them items – could be a true still, or a still with pan/zoom, or even a short video. Whatever a particular item is, I want to click a button and the show advances to the next item. If the next item is a video, the video pauses on the last frame when it is finished.
    Just like the old magazine full of slides, imagine a folder full of items – some may be stills, some videos. After importing into Encore, setting up the navigation and menus, and then burning to Blu-ray, I want to be able to play them in sequence at the press of the Enter button.
    I'm pretty much a novice with Encore, and to save spending more time reading the manual, I thought I'd ask if I can mimic a slide show in Encore with the technique described below. I got the idea from page 152 of the PDF manual:
    The buttons on a menu are the primary navigation tool for the viewer. They control how the viewer steps through the project. Each button in a menu must lead to another menu, a timeline, a chapter, a playlist, a chapter playlist, or a slide show.
    My limited experience with Encore is to set up a series of videos on a single timeline, and generate one menu with a "Start" button on it. When the Blu-ray starts up, the Start screen appears and stays there until I press Enter. Works well.
    A slide show of stills using buttons only
    So I thought: to generate my old-fashioned slide show (ignore videos for the moment), I would use the buttons themselves as the stills, taking my queue from the quote above: "Each button in a menu must lead to another menu…". My slide show would consist of jumping from one menu to the next. This leads to my first question:
    Q1: Is it possible for a menu to have a full-screen button, call it the Image Button, that is actually the still image that is desired to be shown? So the viewer sees the Image Button, thinks it's the image (which it is), but it is actually a button. When the viewer presses Enter, the button activates and goes to the next menu which also happens to be the next full-screen image. The viewer is jumping from Image Button to Image Button, with the buttons filling the screen and being the actual images.
    A slide show including videos
    To include a video in the slide show, the destination when Enter is pressed would be a timeline with the appropriate video. At the end of this video, the navigation would lead to a menu which has an Image Button of the last frame of the video. The effect is that the video is paused on the last frame, waiting for the user to hit Enter to advance to the next item (still or video).
    If there is an easier way to mimic a slide show of stills and videos, please let me know.

    Stan – I posted 3 years ago in the Keynote Forums (I'm on Mac) about this sort of thing, knowing that eventually I would want to do it. The answer came back then that Keynote might have problems. So I've recently posted again about Keynote, but no responses as yet.
    I expected problems with Encore and welcome some of them. Overcoming problems is the best way to become intimately involved with software.
    I'm glad you asked why I don't just use Powerpoint (or Keynote in my case). Now's my chance to clarify my thoughts:
    Macs do not upscale very well. Sometimes I may want to show part of a DVD. I've tested playing a DVD on my iMac versus on a Oppo BDP93, fed to a BenQ W7000 projector throwing a 3 metre image. There is an obvious difference in image quality because the Oppo, being hardware based, can interpolate in real time as it scales from 576p (PAL) to 1080P. DVD Player on my iMac simply magnifies the image, resulting in obvious pixellation.
    Dissolves and complex effects in Premier challenge any software based h.264 player. I don't like to see decoding artifacts, for example, during a dissolve while a part of the image is also reducing in size, spinning, and disappearing into the distance. An extreme example, but an effect I used once. From my reading of blu-ray player reviews – and from my limited testing – all blu-ray players can easily handle the highest bit rates from a blu-ray disk.
    I don't have a laptop so I'd have to buy one. I'd rather spend the money on a dedicated player if that route turns out to be suitable.
    I don't trust computers for a presentation. Too unreliable. When I was showing multiscreen audio visuals in the 1980s (4-6 projectors), I always had a backup Tascam 4-track with me, back up soundtrack on tape, back up amp, and a backup slide projector. Even had a backup amp in the car. Speakers, well, if one failed I had two there anyway. With digital, to feel comfortable, I'd have to buy a second laptop. A good quality, backup Blu-ray player can be had for $100. And yes, I do have a backup W7000. I don't trust digital projectors either.
    Running a presentation from a laptop always looks amateurish to me. Someone hunched over a tiny screen, fooling around with Windows or OSX. And usually it's all mirrored on the big screen for everyone to see. I'm never impressed. I want to replicate a cinema experience as closely as possible. Darkness, the audience hushed, and up comes the first image.
    Any suggestions about automatically linking a whole heap of menus?

  • Final Cut Pro X export troubles: exports video with only half the audio.

    Ever since I updated Final Cut Pro X, I've been having problems exporting. I either get error messages or the audio doesn't fully export. When I tried exporting a master file to my desktop, I got a message saying “error occurred when creating frame” then lists the frame number. Someone suggested copying the project file and pasting it into a new project. I did that, and it exported without the error popping up; but halfway through the video, the audio disappears, and does so in the same spot it disappeared in a previous youtube export before I tried the copy/paste method. I don't have the original footage; I'm making color correction changes to an edit; so I'm not sure if the second half of the video is somehow corrupted, don't know how to check that, and not sure what to do if it is.
    Another suggestion given to me was to delete the event my footage is in, then create a new event, re-upload all the footage into that one, and relink my project files to it. He also said don't delete my event and project folder at the same time, which I'm not even sure how you simultaneously delete two things on a laptop. I don't understand how this method would work though, since deleting the event makes my project disappear since it has nothing to link to. I'm scared to try this method since I don't want to lose my work; I really don't want to color correct it all over again.
    Is there any way to successfully export the file suitable for youtube posting, or is this a bug in the system they haven't fixed yet?

    Just turned off background rendering.
    I'm not certain what you mean for specs in a specific point in the video, but here are the specs for the entire edit I initially received:
    Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
    Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
    2 Audio Channels
    Total bit rate: 12,083
    Size: 951,735,770 bytes (951.7 MB on disk)
    Here are the specs for the exported video that has the audio issue:
    Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
    Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
    2 Audio Channels
    Total bit rate: 12,274
    Size: 966,817,082 bytes (966.8 MB on disk)
    The video is 10:28 minutes long and the audio leaves at 5:57.
    If that wasn't what you were looking for, just let me know. I'm not very good with technical stuff sometimes so may have misunderstood.
    Is there something I should have done to the piece before I began color correcting it, like transcoding?

  • IPhoto: Export videos with titles

    All of my videos are in iPhoto, and I've added titles to all of the videos within iPhoto.
    However, when I EXPORT these videos to my desktop, iPhoto doesn't export them with the titles that I've assigned to them in iPhoto.
    iPhoto exports them with their generic title (such as "img_0015.mov") that they originally had when I first shot the videos.
    How can I get iPhoto to export all of these videos with their titles intact?

    Are you checking this checkbox in the slideshow settings pane?

  • Exporting video with Flash CC

    How do I adjust settings to Flash CC for exporting video? A Quicktime video that was once about 50MB from Flash CS6 is now 7GB with Flash CC.

    Thank you. However, I see no setting options in Flash Pro CC prior to
    creating the video.  It's now an odd two-step process to create a Quicktime
    video with the settings and size I want via Encoder.

  • Exporting videos with a 00:10:00:00 sequence timecode and 4 mono channels of audio

    Hi,
    I have to export a video for broadcast with a starting timecode of 00:10:00:00.  I have found out how to change my zero point on my sequence so that the video starts at the right timecode, however when I export my sequence, it exports it with a timecode of 00:00:00:00.  I have tryed both checking and unchecking the 'use 00:00:00:00 timecode' box with no avail. I am using Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3)  exporting to format: Mpeg2 MFX and codec: IMX30 Pal.
    Also does anyone know how to export a video from premiere with 4 mono channels rather than one stereo track.  This is in the delievery spec and would be really grateful if you can get me out of this pickle!
    Thanks
    Graeme

    Just curious but try a test export in another CODEC.
    In the past I have never had a problem doing what you want in .mov or .avi. (never delivered Mpeg2 MFX and codec: IMX30 Pal.)
    FWIW: I never use TC in that way now ...since all our broadcast delivery became file based.
    Cant imagine why 00:10:00:00 as an example ... would  even be a "delivery spec" any more!   Question them maybe.

  • [CS4] importing video with xdv8 codec...

    Okay, I am on a windows version of premiere pro CS4. I am not very experienced with the software, so this could be amazingly obvious/simple, or it may truly be as hard as I am finding it to be. I need to import a video file, currently a .mov. I believe but am not certain that it was made on an Apple with Final Cut Pro. Premiere gives me a missing codec error.
    When I try to play the file in most of my video players, including QuickTime, I get a missing or unsupported codec error (the sound generally plays fine, though - just the video is missing).One of my players actually named the codec, I believe... saying there was an error with xdv8 codec. So I did some googling, and found that mplayer has that codec.
    So I download and install the latest mplayer for windows (SMPlayer to be precise), and it plays the video fine. However I still cannot import this video into Premiere. And the SMPlayer doesn't offer an export, save as, etc. function.
    I found all of the codec .dll files that the SMPlayer uses, but have no idea how (if it is possible) to get Premiere to recognize them... and I am not sure which it is, as none of them have xdv8 in the title.
    Is there a way to import a codec into premiere if it is not part of a codec installer package?
    Does anyone know where I can get a codec installer package for Premiere that includes the xdv8 codec?
    Is there any other way to work around this issue?
    Thanks!!!

    One of my players (VLC Player, from Video Lan) gave an error stating that the xdv8 codec was missing or not supported. A ton of googling later found that the MPlayer does support the codec - and when I installed said MPlayer (the SMPLayer GUI for windows), I can play the video.
    My issue is that the video comes from an indirect source; my client (I am a web designer, this client has a lot of streaming video on the site) has the videos created by a "professional" local studio... who is (in my opinion) anything but pro. I have no direct contact with them, and when I ask for anything to be done, such as getting the video in a different format, it can take weeks or longer before I get a response. So since I have Premiere, I started doing my own editing of the videos to get them web ready. The videos are being shot for TV (they get broadcast on the Fox Business Network)... so I have no idea if this codec is best (or even good) for that medium, but I need to convert it into 3 various sized flv files for web streaming.
    UPDATE: I now see that the codec is ffmpeg2, and the 'format' is xdv8. I have no idea what that means!
    When I get properties through the SMPlayer, I see the following info;

  • MP4 Videos with Hikvision codec?

    Hi,
    I've a great amount of videos that need to be available in a website. The videos are recorded using Hikvision cameras and therefore they have a propietary codec. I'm having a lot problems with these codecs (running on some pcs, not working on others) so I decided to serve the videos through streaming using Flash Media Server.
    I've been able to use FMS with the example "sample video player". It works perfectly with the mp4 samples of the tutorial. But when I try to put one of my videos the player screen keeps buffering. It's important to highlight that I can play my videos with Windows Media Player (Hikvision provides a Windows Media Player Filter) and a propietary player that this company provides as well.
    I would like to know if there is a way to set up these codecs into FMS, because I know that FMS supports MP4, but I'd like to specify the codec I just need.
    Thanks in advance

    First of all, thanks for your reply.
    I ran FLVCheck and I got Error 18 (Truncated box). I guessed this was why FMS didn't get the propritory codecs from the OS. And that's why I wondered if there's a way to link FMS with other codecs. I'm afraid this is not looking good for me .

  • Export video with Lumetri effects - 2 to 3 videos render fine, after that flickering, colored frames

    After I spent 45 minutes waiting to be transferred to to right department with the support chat, only to find out technical support isn't available during the hours I called, I am going to try this outlet to get some advice:
    I have about 50 video files to export, each 20 seconds to 2 minutes long. They all have Lumetri effects on them (I suppose that's what causes the problem).
    I can render 2, maybe 3 videos without problems. The next one might be fine for a while, but then all I get is strobelight frames, flickering, and different color frames. One time I even received a blue screen of death. I restart Media Encoder, add files to the queue, same thing happens. 2 - 3 will work, after that it exports garbage.
    I am using Premiere Pro CC to edit the video, Media Encoder CC to export it.
    The original footage is HDV 50i - 1440 px by 1080px - 1.333 pixelr ratio.
    Besides some dip to black and cross transitions the only other effect is a title layer with some static color effects on it, and 2 Lumetri effects (warm midtones and dream 1).
    I thought at first maybe it is because I encode in FLV, 1800 mbps, but also when I used uncomressed AVI with the same settings as the original footage the same problem occured.
    I have two ATI radeon HD 6950s 1GB in my pc hooked together with cross fire, 16GB ram, the project file is on a SSD, the raw footage on a HDD. AMD Phenom II x4 processor with 3.4 GHz.
    OS: Windows 7 64bit.
    I did update to the latest GPU driver last night - that didnt fix the problem.
    Since I noticed the fans becoming quite loud during rendering, I did put two Ice packs from the freezer on top of the case and pulled it away from the wall a little bit to allow for better cooling (and it did stay a lot cooler with the ice packs).
    I do also get funky looking frames inside Adobe Premiere after trying to watch the footage with the Lumetri filter for a while. I'll have to restart the program and it'll work fine.
    Any suggestions what I could do? Settings, or something? I dont want to attend to my machiene for so many hours, importing 2 video files at a time, having to review each of them for errors. I'd rather set it up once, and let them all render...

    @Peter Garaway:
    Thanks for the response.
    I use two Lumetri effects:
    Warm Midtones
    Dream 1
    Both applied directly to the clip of raw footage which is in the sequence that gets exported. There is actually one sequence, where I fixed some of the footage putting it into another sequence first, then the sequence into the final sequence that gets exported.
    All my clips have both Lumetri effects applied to them. The flickering took place randomly, but it would definitely get worse the more I attempted to render (the first 2 to 3 no problems, on the 3rd or 4th maybe a few flicker seconds in the middle, any more would be 100% flickering - if any flickering or only like a green solid...)
    Now Shrishti from tech support insisted the problem was within the sequence. And that kind of made sense, because once we successfully rendered one sequence, there would be no more trouble rendering it a second time, even if the program was already in flicker mode. And also for some reason while we were playing around with it when one sequence failed, even after restarting Media Encoder, it would fail again afterwards.
    However last night after it failed I would just try again, doing 2 at a time and it would be successful.
    Now I say it failed, but of course no errors no nothing... Just as in the result didn't look the way it was supposed to.
    Also I want to mention that especially when I kept it running after it failed (meaning you leave it runnning, producing only garbage) the fans of my computer kept running louder and louder. Not sure if it was the GPU or CPU. Rigth now it keeps rendering in Software mode and the fans are barely louder than under normal usage.
    I use the AMD catalyst driver which I downloaded from here:
    http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_win8-64.aspx
    While Shrishti was trying a couple of different settings at one time the screen went dark, as it came back on there was a message coming from the windows tray, saying the display driver had crashed, but recovered. One time I also received a bluescreen message, which I will try to attach to this post.
    well i guess it doesnt have too much information on there other than... what is that? a memory address?
    This happened I believe after the first attempt with the updated driver (I updated from 13.3 to 13.4 )

  • What's causing my titles created in CS4 not to show in th exported video done by encore?

    It appears that the titles that I've created and can see in Premiere CS4 aren't being exported to encore with the rest of to video. What's causing this to happen?

    the project was orignally created on another computer; would the arwork for the titles be stored on the original computer?
    I've had situations where graphics embedded into a title didn't show up because the graphics were not where Premiere thought they should be, either because they moved or because they existed on another computer.  But in those situations, the graphics did NOT show up in Premiere, and I knew to fix the problem before export.
    Still, it's worth exploring the option of deleting those graphics from the title and redoing them once you have them on your hard drive.

  • Final Cut Pro X is exporting video with horizontal lines?

    I filmed a show with 2 different cameras (one is a canon vixia, the other is a canon dos 7D, i realize the quality is different for them) and I used the multi cam editor to match h up the clips and audio file to switch back and forth. I think i created proxy media to use for the multi cam clip. Whenever i export my movie, the movie plays with horizontal lines, and whenever there is faster motion, the person gets blurred. What is making final cut pro x export like this? How do I fix this? I've tried exporting with Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy), and H.264, but all video files have the lines going through it and the motion is a bit blurry. Please help me!!

    There are quite a few Vixia models from Canon; which is yours?
    Without looking at the image, it's not certain, but your description sounds like interlaced footage displayed on a computer. The 7D only shoots progressive, so it's possible your other cam was set to record interlaced. If your first clip placed on the timeline was an interlaced clip, FCP would automatically set the project to interlaced.
    In a addition to your model #, what would be useful is to select one of the Vixia clips in the browser and then to take a screen shot of the top  part of the Info pane.
