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!

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Render and Export Screen Glitch and Freeze

    I use Premiere Pro CS6 on a 2012 Macbook Retina display - 16GB RAM, 751GB Flash Storage, NVIDIA GeForce 650m Graphics Card, 2 External 4TB hardrives for scratch disks, Thunderbolt connection. When I try to render and export videos I often get a graphical glitch like in the pic shown below and my computer freezes. It happens very often, especially when there are a lot of effects in the videos - I use the GenArts Sapphire plugin often.
    This has been going on basically since I bought my Macbook 2 years ago, but it is starting to become more and more common -  considering this was the most expensive Macbook Pro you could buy I am very annoyed with this - even on some videos where I have applied no plugin effects or any color correction it happens, especially when trying to export videos.
    Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

    I am having precisely the same problem as bricklaneeditor, and have exactly the same setup: MBP early 2011, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD,
    30" ACD, Mac OS 10.7.4 , PPro 6.0.1
    Indeed, a restart of Premiere Pro always fixes the problem -- for a while.  I've also seen similar behavior in Media Composer 6.0.1 once or twice so am wondering whether it's an issue with this machine/OS, as the playback software architectures are so different on those two NLE's. 
    I should also mention that the problem is not isolated to any particular file format -- have seen it with timelines containing 7D footage, HDV and ProRes files.  
    I strongly suspect some sort of problem on either Apple's or Adobe's end with the GPU in this machine, as it is ATI and not Nvidia -- and is, as far as I know, the only non-CUDA GPU, at least on the Mac side, certified to work with the CS6 Mercury Playback Engine.   
    Also wondering whether an over-the-top or a clean install of Mountain Lion might shake things up enough to make a difference.  (Otherwise I'm in no big hurry to upgrade my OS.)  Is anyone seeing this problem with PPro under 10.8?  Might be worth installing 10.8 over an external HDD clone of the System drive and booting temporarily from the clone just to see if the problem persists in Premiere.  
    Anyone have any thoughts on these possibilities?

  • Why my system is taking 4 times or more to render and export? SOS

    HAve the latest system installed in the church for video editing. However, for a 30 mins project it takes 4 times or sometimes more to render and export. We are helpless. The following is the system configuration:
    OS                    Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit (6.3, Build 9600)
    Software           Adobe Pro CC
    Processor          AMD FX(tm) - 8320 Eight Core Processor, 3.50 GHz
    RAM                    16 GB
    System type          64-bit Operating system, x64-based processor
    Graphics Card          AMD RAdeon HD 6670
    MotherBoard     ASUS

    I'm having the same problems.
    I believe I have the answer.
    Everything was fine until I upgraded to CC.
    I built a box to specifically run Adobe products except the video card.
    I have an i7 chip,16 R, 2T, Windows 8.1, 64 bit and AMD Radeon HD 6670 (unapproved video card)
    I run a clean box. No 3rd party anything. No add-on apps.
    No hardware changes.
    Heres My Current Project: 45 JPG images - one audio track MP3
    A 3 minute clip of still images takes 30 minutes to render.
    And then nearly 30 minutes to export as an MP4.
    It use to run blazingly fast.
    I built this new box with an i7 to speed up the processing time as my previous system hardware had become outdated.
    Once I built the new system and installed CS6 the Premiere CS6 rendering time was less than 3 minutes for a 3 minute clip.
    Nice. Happy Face.
    Since I upgraded from CS6 to the CC version my Premiere CC performance disappeared.
    How can this be? I've used Premiere for years.
    I explained to support how blazing fast my system ran until recently. One of the tech support persons told me it was a fluke that my system ran so fast. He came to the conclusion that based on with my hardware CC should not have run that fast. And now my slow rendering time is back to where it should be based on my hardware, slow. I was trying to contain my enthusiam knowing I was back to...slow! You know, I'm really patient but after 3 hours on the phone I was transferred to the Photoshop Department. Why? Because the images in my project were most likely corrupted. The very images that were originally imported into PS CC from my iPhone which as one my know... iPhone images on a PC are upside down. I did a 180 on 45 images and re-saved them with new file names as JPG's.
    It was determined that I had to do a batch renaming of all the jpg images and re-attach them in Premiere CC.
    So we parted ways and I hung up the phone.
    This is now my problem. Ok. Fine. It's now determined that I have an unsupported AMD video card. Ok. Fine.
    After an hour on Google searching for a new (low end) $500.00 video card the solution came to me!
    I'm thinking, we've both this all backwards.
    Here's my serious suggestion:
    I think you (Adobe) should offer a "Box of Clouds" based on all of your hardware specifications.
    (Cue chorus of the song, "Come Together" by The Beatles... )
    Sell and/or Lease to me the entire product - the supported hardware with pre-installed software! (No 3rd Parth Vendors)
    I'll never have to hear or worry about my CPU, GPU, CUDA, MPE, 6670, SSE, TD, HD, AMD, ATI or INVIDIA ever again.
    This will make my GIGA Hurts feel better and all of us can get back to work!
    Problems solved!
    Please send me an Adobe Box with Clouds and I'll be on Cloud 9!
    I Think It Is Genius!
    Ok...back to work...

  • When I render and Export there are these little lines around moving objects

    When I render and Export there are these little lines around moving objects, what are they and how do I fix it?

    The lines are caused by the video being interlaced.
    If you export to DVD they should no longer appear. However, if they don't disappear you can use the Deinterlace filter on the footage whilst in FCE.
    How are you exporting ..... QT Movie or QT Conversion ....... and what are you exporting to - the internet or DVD?

  • Hardware recommendations for fast render and export?

    I'm looking for a new Mac for video editing and wonder what to go for for fast render and export times. Is it fast a cpu, cores, lot of ram, vram or a fast graphic processor that primarily determines the speed?

    Processors mainly. RAM contributes a little, but mainly helps with having multiple apps open, or for RAM hungry apps...FCP isn't one. Graphics cards help with plugins that rely on them...but not all plugins utilize that. Processor is the main thing.
    Exporting to...H.264? Then you can look at the Matrox MAX hardware encoder...or the MXO2 line with the MAX integrated.

  • Questions regarding sequence settings, render, and export

    Just a couple of questions:
    1. Will my sequence settings and render quality affect my final output? I am thinking it does, and it may seem elementary to most of you, but it would be nice to get a definite answer. If so, then should I be rendering @ the best quality possible? In turn, should I too be switching my codec? Which correlates with my next question....
    2. What codec should I be using? As it is I've been just getting footage off of mini dv. For best possible quality what should my workflow look like? Should I change my sequence settings codec to uncompressed? Which one? Uncompressed-8bit or 10 or animation? Or is okay to leave that setting at DC NTSC PRO?
    Then, most importantly, when exporting what is my best possible output with the least amount of quality loss? For mediocore quality i've been exporting through h.264 or sorenson 3 - for a bit higher DV NTSC PRO, for max uncompressed 8 bit.... how about the other settings? deinterlace? cbr or vbr? etc..
    Much thanks - I'm a lot confused concerning the technical usage of the program. B)

    Hi David, thank you for the reply and welcome.
    Just to clarify my workflow a bit more - I'm importing mini dv footage, but i'm altering that pretty much extensively with many overlays, in program effects, and various exterior plugins such as boris red, magic bullet, twixtor, etc.. Would mantaining a sequence suited for dv ntsc make sense if mantaining those effect's and overlay's vibrancy, motion, and color is key? Or should I then change my sequence settings to animation or uncompressed 8 or something other?
    What I want for final output is a pristine master (basically I want what I see is what I get) that I can then downcompress for either internet (h264?) or dvd without too much headache. I think Animation only plays on computers? Would it hurt quality badly moving it to a dvd that is playable on dvd players? Or is another setting that I don't know the solution?
    Does it hurt quality if I render it at lower draft settings and dv ntsc and then when i'm done change my sequence settings to higher settings and change it to, say, animation, AND THEN re-render and export to my sequence codec? I'm assuming no, because I'm still working with my original capture source, but just checking.
    thanks again David, and to anyone that may be able to help! B)

  • Illustrator CS3 Import and Export File Format list?

    Hello,
    Has anyone typed up an updated supported import and export file format list for CS3? I used to reference a support knowledgebase document, 1001741, (no longer on Adobe's site) that showed the majority of file formats and versions that Illustrator was able to import. I searched all over and couldn't find one, then called support and they confirmed they no longer had a list like that available--they had split the import options into separate lists--like what versions of Photoshop files, what versions of .eps files, .tiff files etc. Illustrator CS3 could open.
    The reason I was looking because I wanted to see what version Corel file CS3 could open after I was not able to open a customer's v.12 .cdr file.
    Thanks,
    Rick H.

    I am pretty sure that the last supported version of Corel that AI can open is version 10.

  • Red video glitch at render and export in Premiere Pro CS6.

    I keep on experiencing red screen glitches in my videos while viewing after render and when exported into any format. After replacing the clip with another, the same problem appears at the exact same time as before. The only way to get rid of the glitch is to build a completely new project. I have attached a picture of the glitch (the JPEG is green for some reason).
    Any solutions?

    Thank you for fast answer.
    my version is  6.0.5.  ( 001 (MC: 264587))
    i use more kinds of cameras, but each provide different video file type.
    this problem is with  HC-V700 Panasonic, which is creating the AVCHD files.
    i am talking about working video window, where you see the movie you cut and edit! (not the green/blue/red bar in timeline)
    (after finishing the rendering, sometimes without it), and in case when i see it red, it is exported as well as RED screen .
    and - on the other side : i can play such movie file, by double clicking on it, (from project files list, or from timeline ) where new window appears for playing that file.
    thank you for your interest

  • 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.

  • DSLR workflow for ideal render and export

    I recently completed my first 5 minute project in Premiere Pro CS6 with great results.  The source material is a Canon 7D, and I'm working with unconverted native files.  Unfortunately, as the project had color-correction with Magic Bullet looks, filters like sharpening, and layers to "blur" certain elements on-screen, the initial compressed h264 export took nearly 7 hours.
    A bit of research led me to realize I was better off exporting a "master" and converting outside of Premiere Pro.  So, what would be the best way to proceed?
    Should I render my timeline and then choose export with "match sequence settings" and "use previews"?  Should I not pre-render and instead export only with "match sequence settings"?  If I do pre-render and use previews, will the resulting quality be the same as if I render while exporting?
    Or is there another way?  Could I create preview files with ProRes and export to ProRes?
    Thanks for helping out a thrilled PP convert.

    A little primer on Preview files...(btw I think they are great when used as they are intended)
    Preview files are caches of raw frames [with effects applied to them] that are encoded into the Native Editing format (eg DV, HDC, MPEG-Intra).
    It's a little known fact that ANY Export format can be made into an editing format. When you make a new Sequence you just have to pop over to the Custom Tab to change to that video format. In general this isn't a good idea though. Why? Because most Export formats are not good Digital Intermediates (DI). By that I mean that repeatedly compressing and decompressing damages/degrades the footage or they are slow to decode and encode.
    So, what format to choose? Formats like Avid DNxHD and Apple ProRes are great editing modes. They don't degrade over multiple generations very much and are relatively low on CPU power to decode and encode. There are lossless DI's out there too like UtLossless (which is free). At the other extreme are codecs that don't fair well to being used as a DI - like H.264/AVC. They are simply too CPU hungry for the task.
    Don't misunderstand me - editing source AVC footage is fine because decode is waaaay easier than encode. It's just not practical because of the encode time.
    So why use Preview files at all?
    IF your effects (like Magic Bullet or Motion Stabilizer) takes a LONG time you only have to do the computation once. Work in the highest resolution you'll be using (eg 1920x1080p). After you have the preview files "rendered" Premiere Pro will use then instead in that section and you'll have nice smoooooooth editing.
    You then are free to Export your final video to whatever format you want in whatever size you want. And because you chose a DI that isn't hard on the CPU to decode you pick up a TON of time vs having Magic Bullet recalculate the same thing over and over again for each output format/size/datarate. - Just make sure you check the "Use Previews" button otherwise they will be ignored.
    Level 200 tips:
    IF, and this is a big IF, you happen to be exporting your final video at the same
        FRAME SIZE
        FRAME RATE
        COMPRESSION SETTINGS THAT MATCH THE EDITING MODE
    Then, you can get an extra Encode time boost for Exporters that support "Smart Rendering". Smart Rendering is when all the above conditions are true and the compression scheme supports being able to COPY the preview frame instead of de-compressing it and then re-compressing it.
    Basically there is little to no chance that's gonna happen unless your final output is a Digital Intermediate format to then go onto some other post-production step.
    So... choose a good Editing Mode that doesn't lose quality when encoded (during the preview render) then decoded (during the early phase of Exporting each frame) to make the raw uncompressed frame that is Encoded into your final output format (eg F4V, AVC for Bluray, YouTube, Vimeo etc).
    'hope that helps.

  • 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.

  • Green frames when using AppleScript to export from QT

    Not sure if this is a QuickTime issue, h.264 issue, or an AppleScript issue, but i thought I'd start here since I know the least about AppleScript and have some clues to the problem.
    I'm creating an Automator workflow that requires a run AppleScript action. My plan is to use applescript to have QuickTime Pro 7.6.6 export an image sequence from a QuickTime movie in h.264, using a QuickTime settings file I've already exported. The script points to the settings file and and exports the sequence to the output folder I've specified. Im looking to export one frame per second. Running the script works well and I'm almost getting the result I want, except that each frame that is exported is entirely green.
    Interestingly, when I run the exact same process manually, using the exact same settings, the export works fine, and the frames are correct. Additionally, exporting via AppleScript brings up a different status bar than when exporting manually, which leads me to believe that AppleScript is the culprit. Perhaps it's running some sort of outdated process? The AppleScript status bar comes down from the top middle of the video frame, while exporting manually, brings up a floating status bar. They look decidedly different.
    Has anyone run into this problem? Can possibly shed light on it? Possible AppleScript work around?  This only seems to effect h.264 videos. If I run the same AppleScript on a prores file, the images export correctly.

    Including the applescript in question could be helpful!

  • From Premiere - Render and Replace ??

    I use Soundbooth to modify my audio track from the timeline. When I'm in Soundbooth I save and return to AP but I can not here the change. Is there something I am doing wrong ? ?

    is this just a single clip, or you have the entire 18min loaded in AE as comp? does this happen with new projects and all footage or just some? can you render and replace regular clips that aren't AE comps?  if its just a few clips of the 18min project, can you render previews in premiere?    if its just a few clips, could also render them out in AE and swap them out in premiere instead of using render and replace...   or maybe temporarily disable the ae effects/layers while editing in premiere and then turn them back on when ready to export final render.

  • My workaround to solve flickering issues on Program Monitor and Exported files

    Hello guys,
    I am working with a combo of this effects: Fast Color Corrector, Three Way Color Corrector, Warp Stablizer, MB Cosmo and Neat plugin. Editing 1080p24 .MOV files from GH4 and GH3. WIN 8.1, PP 8.0.1, i7 3770K, 16G and a old GF250. After dozen tests... exporting, reinstalling, converting... I found a workaround to solve the flicker issue in Premiere.
    When the playback is set to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only, the issues occurs randomly only with clips that have video effect.
    So, I set back to the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA) and the issue happens only in clips with Warp Stabilizer effect. In these clips, I replace for AE comps and stablize inside AE.
    Hope this helps some one. Sorry for the english. Cheers from Brazil.

    Ann Bens escreveu:
    What if you nest the clips with effects first and then apply the warp?
    The error still happens.
    Let me explain somethings... in these clips with Warp Stabilizer effect, the bar render is Yellow but the image freezes with Mercury Playback Aceleration. I think my GPU cant render this. If I try to export, the message error is a generic "Error compiling movie. Unknow error". So, I  tried to put any Distort video effect, the bar render now is Red, and I can playback and export, but the flicker issue occurs.
    Hope these infos help.
