After applying effects random green frames appear

When applying effects, for some reason 1-2 seconds after the effect plays there are green frames in the video. This also has happened when I used the option to slow down the video speed. Its happened to me on all projects that I have used effects on and I don't know what to do.

Do you have two video cards? There's a KB article about green frames occuring on export if you have two video cards.
Are you editing original media or optimized? You might try using optimized media as maybe the encoder is having problems with the h.264 codec.
Also try clearing out all render files from both the event and project and have it re-render everything.

Random Green Frames in Premiere Render and Export Files

Hello!
I just switched a new MacBook Pro and am having a render issue in Premiere CC. Random green frames pop up sporadically throughout my video. This happens both on my rendered timeline and in the exported file. It seems to affect the clips with heavier color correction. What is happening and how can fix it?
Here's a link to the video on Vimeo. You will see green frames at 00:04, 00:43, 01:03, 01:39, 01:48, 01:58 and 02:25.
I'm editing on Premiere CC. Most of the clips have heavy effects work (motion, fast color corrector, RGB curves and a circle overlay for vignetting). All footage and project files are stored on a WD My Passport 2TB Portable External USB 3.0.
The footage is from a 5D Mark III set for 1080p IPB, so files are .movs.
Exporting in H.264 with the Vimeo HD 1080p 23.976 preset, not changing any of the preset settings. But again, the issue also occurs pre-export, after rendering on the timeline.
MacBook Pro
Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014
Processor: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048
Software: OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
Please help! Thank you!

Problem fixed!
Someone from the Adobe support team instructed me to change the renderer to software only mode. This can be changed under File>Project Settings>General. More specifically, I changed it from Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL) to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only. I deleted the old render files and reexported without any further issues.
Success!

Random red frames appearing in CS3

I've been using PP CS3 for a few weeks now and I have encountered a strange problem that I didn't see in PP2: random red frames appearing in the project.
Sometimes the red frames are visible when reviewing the project on the timeline (before rendering), and sometimes they show up only after exporting the project to AVI or to flash via Adobe Media Encoder. I'm using MPEG files from Sony hard-drive cameras.
At first I thought it was an issue with my new laptop, but the problem is also occurring on my desktop computer. Both computers have duo-core 2.2 ghz processors and 512mb dedicated memory video cards and 2 mb of system memory.
I am quite disheartened because I feel I wasted nearly $300 on an upgrade to CS3. I have Googled this problem extensively and haven't found a viable solution. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Not counting HD material, my general understanding is that Premiere is designed to work with SD material where each video frame is complete, not the type of file where 1 frame is complete, and several following frames are simply code which describe changes from the preceeding frame (ie-DV AVI Type 2 files... and not the Type 1 files produced by Windows Movie Maker, and certainly not the AVI files using the divX codec)
Read here to see
Why NOT to try and edit an MPEG
Whatever Premiere does with MPG on the timeline is simply an afterthought... not a design feature (again, this is MY understanding, from reading this forum, and is not based on any inside knowledge of Adobe programming)
If you simply must edit MPG files, you might look at different products
Edit MPEG with
Premiere Elements
or
WOMBLE
or direct from DVD with
Movie Edit Pro
Otherwise, do as suggested and convert the files to DV-AVI Type 2

Random Green Frames When I Import Video?

Applying effects to selective frames in a video clip

Question: What is the best way to add a mask only to certain frames in clips of a sequence on Premier Pro CC using After Effects (i.e., a single frame mode)?
I am trying to fix a keyed video, but only need to fix frames here and there and do not want to animate it.
In the past, I have used the following methodology:
SUMMARY: Remove, modify, render, export, and then re-insert each frame that needs to be fixed (one by one) starting in Premiere Pro (CS5, CS6, or CC) and using After Effects (CS5, CS6, or CC) using the following steps:
1) Open a timeline with the entire video sequence
2) Cut the frame that needs to be fixed out of the timeline sequence, basically leaving a one frame hole
3) Apply the mask, filter, or other effect to the frame within After Effects
4) Export the modified frame in the format of the original sequence (recommended) as a new one frame clip
5) Import the result back into your open Premiere project
6) Drop the imported one frame clip back into the original sequence in the spot where it was cut from
7) Repeat for each frame
8) Finally, re-export the entire project to the final desired format.
There has to be an easier way than this.
NOTE: The cross-launch function between Premiere Pro (PPro) and After Effects (AE), where a new AE project is opened by selecting this option in a PPro project/sequence, is very confusing and awkward to use, and has never been useful for me when doing other operations such as Color Channel modifications or channel replacement/swapping. So unless there is something within this function that will do the job, and then re-create the new video export faster, then I have ruled using this out.

If you just have a few frames to mask then start your mask in a safe spot just start your mask where you need it to work, animate the mask for the few frames you need, then, when the mask is no longer needed move forward one frame and move the mask clear off the shot. Copy the mask keyframe, move to the first keyframe for that mask and then back one more frame and paste. Your mask will now be off the shot completely, jump into position when needed, then jump back off the shot. Problem solved without splitting layers or doing anything else funky with the shot.
In many cases, if you need a lot of masking to fix a key you can solve the problem with another instance of your keyed (Keylight) on a duplicate layer and then use that copy as a track matte for the first. I do this all the time. Sometimes I'll have as many as 4 or 5 copies of the footage, all keyed differently removing different parts of the background, each with a different garbage matte, and then combining them all using track matte to produce the final plate for compositing.

Problem with automated height/width after applying effect

Hey guys,
I have a panel that automatically resizes after some other contents is being added. All the time there is a scale-effect. Whenever I move the mouse over any of those children they zoom in and there the height & width of the parent container automatically resizes.
However I have a minimize button for that one along with a resize effect. I can resize the complete container to a minimize size (e.g. 40x40), but when I resize back with the same effect, the panel does not automatically resizes with added children anymore.
I did not set any special properties on the panel from the beginning, but some property must be different now. It is not "autoLayout" and also the "percentageWidth/Height" does not work properly as that command will cause the panel to stretch over the complete stage. Any suggestions here?

Mmmh...that does not seem to solve the issue for me. Even when setting the width and height to NaN before the effect is played, it will still lead to a fixed height and width of the parent panel container. When I add new children the parent container is not properly resized, means that the chiildren just go beyond the parent container's border.
Setting these parameters after the effect is done leads to the following crash: ArgumentError: Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid.

PP 2014 CC - R3D files - Random Green frames with GPU GTX970

Hello
I am struggling with a problem when reading & exporting frames R3D files from a Red epic Dragon. Within the app, in a timeline, certain frames will randomly have a heavy green hue. Green frames will also show up in exported image sequences. PP is using CUDA on Windows 7 and I have a NVIDIA GTX970 with the latest CUDA & driver. I do not have this issue when exporting with the CPU.
It seems that the GTX970 is not validated yet so this could be a legitimate bug, so I am sharing this info for those looking to buy this card.

Problem fixed!
Someone from the Adobe support team instructed me to change the renderer to software only mode. This can be changed under File>Project Settings>General. More specifically, I changed it from Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL) to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only. I deleted the old render files and reexported without any further issues.

Quits/crash after apply Effects

I have just trashed my FCP preferences in library. Then I launch FCP. I tried to apply EFFECTS on video, but it quits by itself. How to solve this problems?
I'm using:
OS 10.3.9
PowerPC G5 2GHz (3.0)
1.5 GB DDR SD RAM
Internel Hard drive: 152GB x2 Maxtor 6Y160M0 (35GB available)
Final Cut Pro HD 4.5
Quicktime Pro 7.5 (v149.5)

I noticed you're using QuickTime 7.5 with Final Cut Pro 4.5. QT 7 is not recommended for this version of Final Cut Pro and this could be the reason behind your troubles.

Audio stops playing after applying effect

First of all, I'm a beginner, so any help is appreciated. I' ve strung a few clips together including a photo and some video. I imported a sound file to go with the clips. Everything worked fine until I applied an effect to the video clip (contrast and brightness). Now when I play back the movie, the audio stops playing soon after beginning the video clip. I've checked the volume of the audio and it's fine.... as soon as I undo the effect, it all plays fine again.
Any suggestions?
powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi jdoo and welcome!
Try extracting the audio from that video clip before
adding the transition/effect.
Thanks for your suggestion. I just discovered what the problem was. When I applied the effect I didn't notice that there was a progress bar and that it took quite a while for the effect to be totally applied. I was trying to play the movie back while processing was taking place and that interrupted the audio.

Get output of layer after applied effects and transformations?

I know I can get the pixel data of a layer either by calling Sampling8Suite1()->subpixel_sample() or by directly acessing the layer's data field.
Both methods work fine, but give me only the pixels before any effects or transformations (scaling, rotation, etc.) have been applied on a layer.
Example: I add a red solid and on this red solid I add the effect "Fractal Noise".
On another layer I add my plugin which samples the input of the first layer. But it will never give me the fractal noise output, only the red solid pixels.
DId I miss something somewhere or is this not possible within AE?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks!

in short, no such functionality is offered.
there are however some exceptions:
1. if you checkout your own layer, even at times other than the current, and you do it using the smartFX checkout_layer() funciton, then you get it post all effects previous to yours in the stack.
2. you can checkout any project item, so if you checkout a comp with only one layer in it, you get that layer post transform and effects.
3. write an artisan (the plug-ins that render comps such as "advanced 3D"). artisans get post effects/transform layers.
sorry.
not much good news.

Green frames when exporting from CC 2014

Hello. I just updateted to the newest edition of premiere pro(aswell as all the other CC software i have installed which includes phoshop,speedgrade,audition,ame, and after effects). So the versions of the software are the very latest.
My computer is late2013 macbook pro with nvidia graphics card, and i have all the system updates installed, nothing special going on.
Heres the issue:
When exporting the project, i get random green frames, full green frames. Complitely randomly, no pattern whatsoever.
My workflow have been this: Footage shot with two Sony cameras and i have encoded all the materials to mxf format with one step earlier AME version. I started the project with one step earlier premiere, and i have already done 19 out of 23 sequences that project contains, no problem at all with earlier version of ame&premiere. Now i updated to the latest 2014 cc and these green frames started to pop out randomly. I have not used any plugins or effects, only premieres own threeway colorcorrector and bightness&contrast. Parts of the clip have transparent black video as textbackground with crop effect applied and basic textlayer from premieres own text editor. I have exported few grpahics from aftereffects (both the lates and the one step earlier version) to proress 4444 format as RGP+alpha. And im exporting with using youtube SD widescreen 360p settings, nothing changed. Again, everything worked perfectly before update.
things i have tried sofar:
delete caches both manually and from each software
normal boot
pram reset
safeboot
update check
export XML from 2014 cc and import to earlier premiere -> no luck, things got messed up somehow
made a copy of both project files, i compared and changed some version number from 27 -> 26 so i could open the project in earlier premiere -> no luck (this worked back in cs6 time when i had to import cs6 project to cs5.5)
Kinda running out of time, so rest of the night im going to spend re-editing those sequences i have done today with newer version of premiere. Will adobe pay for me for these extra hours, i think my client wont approve one extraediting day(night becaus of the schedule, these must be ready tomorrow with no green frames) because of software problem?
Ask anything you want, i'm 100% sure this is not user error since everything was fine with one step earlier premiere version. I will copy&paste this to the bugreport too.
Thanks

Temporary solution for this was "export xml" after all. I had to disable all graphics and textlayers and delete colorcorrections, and flatten multicam, so i had to redo all grading ja graphics stuff in older premiere after importin FCP xml. But got the work done in time. Won't use cc 2014 in near future unless someone figures out what is wrong with green frames. (well actually now im exporting from older AME, will she if the green frames pops out there too, wouldn't be too much surprised....)

Green Frames in Exported Files

I have noticed, since moving to DSLR 1080p video, that my workflow ends up with lots of seemingly random green frames, and Premiere Pro crashes a lot more.
My system is a brand new system, and I have never had this happen before, on either my old system (running CS3 and SD video).
I have had the green frames appear in 3 different cases, and often, all of them simultaneously: when scrubbing or previewing my timeline, when exporting to a move (mostly I use 264.BlueRay, but it happens with other file types too), and when trying to cross with After Effects (both, importing a timeline into AE, as well as importing an AE project into PP).
I have tried clearing my media chache files and database, changing my memory settings (allocating anywhere from 8-13GB for PP), optimizing for both memory and performance, changing my playback quality, re-installing both PP and AE, changing the Renderer to both "Software Only" and "GPU Accelartion", and restarting.
It is almost like the link manager is not linking to the source file properly, because I can place another clip in the timeline in place of the "green one", and that works, as well, if I manage to export the clip, I can replace the original with the newly exported one, and that works. I believe this is also the case in regards to the issues I have had trying to work with AE, as it seems as though I am creating too many cross links and it just doesn't like it. Finally, when I view my task manager, sometimes the "Adobe DT32 Server.exe *32" is using a HUGE amount of memory, just under 1GB itself...this is when PP tends to crash the most.
It is totally possible that I have missed something, or my constant changing of settings isn't helping the situation, or my lack of knowledge of the "technical" end of PP is my downfall, so I am willing to take any recommendations and/or feedback on how to fix this...it is happening with all my projects and is a real pain to try to work around.
I have created a short screen capture video to show what I mean. The first bit shows the files working in the preview window, but when I overlay the exported .m4v file, you will see that there are green frames exported instead of the proper video (and, as I mentioned, sometimes this just happens when scrubbing and previewing, even without exporting). http://screencast.com/t/AQMWLUC2x

Thank you.
It looks like the camera shoots H.264 full-AVCHD, and a couple other similar modes.
If you shot in the full-AVCHD mode, 1920 x 1080, and us that footage in a matching Sequence, there should be no red line above the Clips (sounds like what you have), and the footage should edit just fine on an adequately fast system, providing that you have copied the full folder structure from your camera's card to your system.
You should not need to install any Nikon software to use this footage. That was just in case your camera used MJPEG CODEC, like many other Nikons do/did. For MJPEG, one often finds that they need their camera mfgr's. exact, tweaked version of MJPEG, and that is often installed only with other software from the camera's utility disc. Not your case.
Also, the Nikon AVCHD is not the only footage type displaying the problems.
In my mind, we have ruled out a lot of possibilities, but that does not address your problem - random green Frames.
Sometimes, odd Frames can be a display driver issue, but yours are showing up in the output files too.
You have tried with both MPE hardware ON and OFF.
It does sound like ADL is not doing "its thing" properly, all of the time, but unfortunately, I am at a loss, as to what could be the cause.
Thanks for taking the time to answer a few questions, and also for doing a very good post. Wish that I had some ideas on how to test, or suggestions on what the cause might be. As there are not tons of others, shouting "me too," it seems that the issue is either specific to your installations, or your system (seems like you have a more than adequate system, but perhaps Harm, or Bill G. will spot something, that I missed).
Good luck,
Hunt

FCPX renders green frames

any reason known for this? i see the orange render bar is gone but during playback i see random green frames.
is this a hardware issue? thanks.

There's a Apple support document that might be relevant:
Final Cut Pro X: Systems with two graphics cards may export QuickTime movies with green artifacts
Symptoms
You may notice green artifacts when you export a QuickTime movie. This can occur on a system that has two graphics cards installed and a display attached to a DVI port on each card.
Resolution
To work around this issue, only use Final Cut Pro X with a single graphics card installed on your system.

After effects CS6 random white frames

I am a hobbyist working on some AE projects using an HP Z820 workstation. Have opened these projects many times to add to them over the last few months with no issues. Two days ago opened them to find a few single random white frames. Isolated the problem frames to Keylight 1.2 and Fast Blur. In Keylight, when I changed Screen Shrink/Grow to 0, the three white frames went back to normal. Some other white frames were traced to the Fast Blur effect. Blurriness was set at 20. I changed it to any other number and white frames went away. I left it at 19. Now here is the kicker! Today I open up the projects to apply these annoying fixes to some other affected areas and everything is BACK TO NORMAL! I can use all the original settings! I suppose I could just be happy it mysteriously resolved itself after a good nights sleep but I don't like unsolved mysteries. It could happen again!
Any explanations other than sun spots?

Thanks for your reply, Szalam.
Yes, I am very familiar with the bug report process. I wanted to see if anyone else had the same issue hoping that I could find an immediate solution. As it stands, the temporary workaround is to render to something other than Cineform AVI.
Sorry, I am quite busy right now (large project with a short deadline) and don't have the time to do much test rendering. When I get a minute I will definitely do more tests with different codecs etc.
I would be happy to upload some P2 footage when time allows. Is there a way to upload directly to this site, or is there another preferred method? I haven't attempted uploading files to this forum before.
Thanks again for your help!

After Effects Rendering Random Black Frames

Latest AE Build: 2014.2 Release. i7 Processor - 64 GB Ram - GForce FTW 680 with 4 GB Video RAM.
AE Project coming from Panasonic P2 files, rendering to AVI Cineform results in random black frames.
I have compared two separate renders of the same clip, both have black frames in different spots. Never had the problem with older versions of AE.
Anyone else having this issue or have an answer?
Thanks!
UPDATE: Rendered to QT DNxHD and haven't found a Black frame yet. May be Cineform AVI compatibility issue since the addition of Cineform QT support maybe? Didn't notice it before that. Hmmm.
