Red flash frame

Hello,
As instructed in this thread, I've started a new thread regarding this problem.
I work as an editor at a channel with Premiere CC 7.2.1 installed as our NLE. We have several 27" iMacs, 21" iMacs and about a dozen MacbookPro's.
We have experienced the red flash frame several times. It has appeared on MXF and ProRes exports. In one case, (using a MacBook Pro) it was generated on a ProRes export, but not on the low res proxy (unsure of format, will update as soon as I know) that is generated when we export to Sienna.
Red frames have also been introduced on MXF exports from iMac's (i7 27"), via ethernet to an Isilon.
I've taken the advice on the previous thread and told an editor to delete her cache and re-export. She did this and the red frames were not on the new export.
However, we have a high turnaround of news and current affairs content where a red frame may not be spotted. This could happen in a SOT or PKG for news. This file with the red frame could be loaded into ENPS and played out live. As the producer will be viewing the proxy in Sienna, they will not see the red frame as it'll only be on the ProRes, which is in a TX server they do not have access too.
The added danger is that if that section of programming is repeated, it will not be TX'd live from in house, it will be TX'd by a third party. Who (I assume) will pick up the red frame and hit us with a fine.
So, Adobe, is there a fix coming? Or is there anything we can do to ensure this does not happen?

To add, the low res proxy is an MPEG movie at 640 x 360, .mov suffix. No red frames appear on this.

  • Has anyone solved or worked around the After Effects CC red flash frame glitch?

    I can't find any mention on any forums of the After Effects CC red flash frame glitch later than Feb. 2014. I just installed 12.2 (which was my first CC version) on my macpro and started getting the red flash frames randomly, but with increasing frequency, in my projects. I have never had this problem before on any previous computer or version for AE. The forums I've read have referenced ProRes source footage, outputs to ProRes, and lens blur. My project uses all of these things.
    If there is a universally accepted solution/work around, I haven't seen it definitively. Do I not use ProRes source footage? Do I not render to ProRes 4444? Do I not use the lens blur effect? Do I give up and go back to CS6?

    Hi Keith,
    I have the "same" issue with the red frames in AFX CC
    I have seen them first, as I resized a prores4444 HD to a smaller format and saw the redframes in the preview window.
    Setup in AFX: I created a comp from the HD Prores4444 footage and put this comp in a comp with resolution of 960x540.
    The output format was again prores4444.
    I shuttled through the clips in the small comp and I saw the red frames too.
    When I switched to the HD comp at the same position everything was fine.
    I "solved" the problem by flushing the cache, twice. Because after the first purge I was only able to render the first clip. The second one had the red frame problematic again.
    Maybe It has something to do with hardware accelerated layers.
    I'm using a MacPro running OSX 10.8.5 with a Nvidia GTX680.
    Cheers

  • Red flash frames on C300 sequence exports

    Still no fix for this widely noted issue, Adobe?
    I'm currently trying to get a job completed and the process of getting anything out of Premiere is absolutely painful...
    I have tried all the suggested solutions - trashing preferences and media cache files. I saw somewhere that removing any clips that are a different codec to your footage (in this case it's MXF files from a C300) fixed the problem. Tried switching hardware GPU acceleration off. None of these things have worked. I've had to export the sequence several different times and then stitch these exports together in a new sequence (skipping out the numerous red flash frames, of course) just to get a clean export out. Pitiful.
    I can see reports of this happening over a year ago - why hasn't it been fixed? I think it's pretty scandalous that this hasn't been sorted - Premiere is advertised as being able to handle these camera formats natively...well, it can't right now for me if using the native camera files results in issues like this.
    Has anyone found any other work arounds that I haven't noted above?

    Hi Mark,
    According to the "about Premiere Pro" window, I am on 8.2.0 (65) build.
    I have had the same issue exporting out of both Premiere and Adobe Media Encoder - the build of AME is 8.2.0.54.

  • MPEG Streamclip "Red Flashing Frames"

    I am having a problem with mpeg streamclip. I keep getting lots of red flashing frames. These happen when i am playing a dvd or even a .mov footage. I have re-installed also. I am running 10.6.5 on intel chip. Any help would be greatly appreciated or if there is a different forum, please let me know.

    I think it's a system glitch because it started happening to me just recently in Final Cut Pro. When I play a clip in the viewer window, it flashes solid red like every half second. There aren't actually any red frames in the clip and once its placed on the timeline it plays fine.
    More evidence that it's a glitch is that it'll sometimes go away on its own, sometimes (like now) go away if I pause the clip, go to another program and come back a few seconds later. Other times I have to quit and relaunch Final Cut to solve it.
    The only consistent thing I've noticed is that it never happens when I first launch the program. It seems to happen after I've been working in it for at least a few minutes.

  • Red flashes created during transcode process

    Hi everyone,
    Does anyone know why my one frame red flashes are being created during the transcode process of my DVD's? When i watch my files ready to create the DVD there are no red flashes and the file plays fine. When i create the DVD with menus etc and watch it back there are no red flashes and it plays fine. As soon as the file is transcoded, whether as part of the burning process, or during DVD creation, these one frame red flashes appear . I have watched the films on different players and they are burnt onto the final disc image. I have tried a whole host of transcode settings whether 1 pass cbr, 2 pass vbr, 25i or 25p, working to 4, 7 or 8MB. It does not make any difference. The red flashes persist!
    Any ideas?

  • Red Flashes in MXF video

    Hi I am having major problems with red frames appearing at random in video i edit that is from my Canon XF300 camera. This problem has appeared since the last upgrade. I have never had this problem before and have been testing old video from before the upgrade and new video shot recently with the same problem. I need a solution to this problem as I run a business and cannot send my customers video with red flash in it. I have been tying to find a way to contact Adobe but there seems to be no direct way of communicating.
    I have been monitoring this for some time now and have tried a number of solutions my self like updating to the latest Canon XF utility to no avail.
    Here is a list of errors that have occurred over the last few weeks from different projects.

  • Errors and Red Flashes with MXF files

    Hi all and Adobe, this is the third time i have posted hear about this and it is now getting very serious as the problem is affecting my income as I run a small one man video production business.
    When I encode video that has any MXF file in the timeline, and most of my projects do as I generally am editing two to three camera shoots with one of the cameras being a Canon XF300.
    I get many errors, and multiple red flashes in the encoded video.
    I run all of my Adobe CC applications on a 2013 iMac 27" 3.5 Intel Core i7 32 gig Ram Nvidia GeForce GTX 780m 4096MB
    There is no bottleneck regarding disk drive as I am using a dedicated GRaid 8TB Thunderbolt drive.
    I first ran into this problem within a week of upgrading to the latest Premiere Pro CC 8.1 Caravan. I then noticed it when using Media Encoder when encoding both Premiere and After Effects projects Smith MXF files involved.
    I at first thought the problem may have been corrupted cache file so deleted them all and re conformed. I even uninstalled Premiere cleaned out all relevant directories then reinstalled.
    No matter what I tried the problem will not go away.
    I went online and noticed in many forums people complaining about the same problem and coincidently most seem to have the problem appear since the last upgrade.
    I then rang support and after a very long wait spoke to a man who advised I need to select Cuda in the GPU settings and delete all previews, so I did this while on the phone to him then started encoding a project and to my delight no errors.
    I was so excited I jumped on here to tell another person who had a similar problem the solution.
    But then within a day the errors were back and with vengeance, at the end of one of my last encodes yesterday I had an error log window that filled an iMac 27" screen not good.
    I then rang support again and as with the previous call a long wait ensured.
    After explaining my problem and indicating the discussion I had with the previous support person he indicated that Adobe was aware of this problem and they were trying to fix it.
    He suggested a work around and that was to encode only using the Mercury software not any GPU settings.
    So off I went and encoded the same project and guess what happened, more errors many errors.
    Also please note to be thorough I tried encoding a project from 2013 that has worked perfectly before on previous versions of Premiere but as soon as it is loaded into this version the errors appear.
    I also wish to bring to attention the abysmal support mechanism Adobe has established.
    There seems to be no way to fast track serious problems.
    I and many people like me need this problem solved as we rely on Adobe for our living.
    If this continues for much longer I will have to reconsider my investment in the Adobe CC product.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards, Cliff elliott

    Over the last couple of hours I tried an experiment using the same project which contains a two camera edits containing video from Canon XF300 and XHA1 cameras.
    The experiment was to encode out form the project on three separate Macs.
    As I have explained in the first post my main Machine the 2013 iMac gives errors on any setting including GPU selections.
    I then tried it on an older iMac a 2010 model 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7 which has an ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB GPU and the same problem occurs.
    Next came an old Mac Book Pro 2011 that does not have GPU support. The project rendered without any errors but took about so long compared to the 2013 iMac which is to be expected.
    So the problem seems to be related to the relationship between Premiere and the GPU's.
    I hope this helps the Adobe engineers sort this out.

  • What's with the "RED FLASHES" when I scroll ?

    Using Aurora, when I'm on any web page (except Firefox !) and use the scroll wheel on my mouse, I get a RED FLASH every time I start to scroll. This is potentially dangerous as I have a seizure disorder that can be triggered by light flashes (when coupled with
    other stimuli).
    The Firefox page scrolls without the flashes - what's up ?
    OS XP with latest update.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration.

    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • Flash Frames On Incoming Video

    I have the strangest problem with flash frames I've ever seen. Whenever I make a cut at a scene change in my footage I get a flash frame on the incoming cut. I immediately assumed it was a field so I lopped off the first frame and... no luck. I actually have to tim off the first 3 to 4 frames! to rid the cut of the flash.
    My sequence of events: I ripped supplied footage from DVD using Handbrake & de-interlacing into an progressive, Mpeg4 file. Then, using Compressor, rendered it into a progressive, ProRes 422 HQ Quicktime. However, the ProRes 422 HQ Quicktime had this bizarre brightness change when I hit play in FCP6. It was annoying so I used compressor again to transcode the ProRes 422 files into progressive H.264 Quicktimes. They seem to play & edit fine... except for this issue. Unfortunately, this issue is a showstopper. There's no way I can continue to edit with this media doing this.
    I've searched the forum for similar posts but none of the problems ever seemed solved, and certainly none of the solutions suggested are working for me; I've trashed preferences, trashed rendered files & re-rendered them, etc. I have zoomed in to verify that there are no extraneous frames. Also, if I import the ProRes 422 Quicktimes and edit with them, they don't seem to have this flash frame issue.
    Anybody else seen or heard of this issue? Why would an errant field exist across 3-4 frames? Anybody have any suggestions? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

    Handbrake is the wrong tool for this...MPEG STREAMCLIP or DVDxDV Pro are the better options. I use DVDxDV...REALLY good with non-Hollywood movie type DVDs. Can extract to DV or Uncompressed...whatever you need. MPEG-4 like H.264 isn't meant to be used as an editing codec, it is designed for final delivery. That might be why you are getting the odd flash frames...the way it is compressed.
    As for ProRes brightening...that means that your system needs to reduce the quality of the image in order to play it back without dropping frames...that is one symptom. Another is really low quality playback. To see what you really working with it is good to have a capture card and external monitor connected so you can tell what things really look like...as the computer monitors are playing back a low res proxie.

  • Fcpx with magic bullet green and pink flash frames

    Hi I'm using fcpx with magic bullet. all recent updates. an imac 3.4ghz 32gb ram 512ssd drive and 512mb card. I keep getting pink and green flash frames whenever i colour grade in magic bullet.
    first 22 secs of project were fine, next day I added to it, flash frames everywhere throughout the entire project. tried everything. is it a bug?
    cheers

    This problem is completely averted, for me (and reportedly most others), by exporting using "Send to Compressor" rather than using any FCPX presets. That is, no flashes or green/purple/upside-down frames show up in the final output.
    I would hardly have believed that the "engine" used in Compressor is different to FCPX - but that is obviously (simplistically) the case.
    This is also some confirmation that the problem is with FCPX - not the plugin.

  • How do I get a lip sync flash frame sequence to encode properly

    I built a flash frame sequ
    ence in Premiere.  It is 2 seconds long with the
    first two frame white and the remaining time black
    frames. This is repeated for 1 minute.  If I encode it in non-compressed AVI it is correct.  If I use
    MPEG2 or H.264 to build a transport stream, I see two white frames
    as I would expect,then black frames for the rest of the sequence.  Over 15 seconds, I will start to see three frames, gray, white and gray again.  Eventually, the white or gray frame starts two frames later than it should.  I built this as a 720P/60 sequence with non-drop frame timecode.  I have tried all I frames and the same issue occurs.  The GOP structure does not seem to have an effect.  There is no audio in this stream.  It as if it cannot handle the quick and short transistion from white to black.  There are some advanced settings for MPEG 2 but I cannot see where they are explained in the Premier help document.  I need this stream to measure latency on a piece of video equipment.
    Thanks
    Ralph

    Bill,
    Your answer gave me a hint to what was happening.  I'm fairly new to Premier and took for granted that the preset I chose at the begining of the program would carry through to the sequence, wrong!  I found another discussion that talked about resetting the properties of a sequence.  I expanded the project box a little and saw that it said my sequence was 59.94 frame rate not 60.  I followed the instructions on the other discussion.  File, new sequence, general, editing mode, and frame rate.  The frame rate was set to 59.94 not 60.  I reset it to 60, closed all the menues and deleted the original 59.94 sequence.  The new sequence I just created shows a 60 Hz frame rate.  I exported my lip sync project as an MPEG 2 transport stream and it was correct according to our MPEG analyzer.
    Thanks again for the help.
    Ralph

  • Black screen red flashing light

    Plz help.
    Today my touch screen on my bb torch 9800 wouldnt work, I did a battery pull and now my phone wont switch back on. the screen is black and there is a red flashing light.
    I have had my bb neary 18 months and never had a prob before.
    Can you advise what i should do next,

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Put your BB onto a known-good wall charger for 2 hours, and do not touch it. Then, with it still on that charger, remove the battery, leaving it out for 5 minutes (with the BB still on that charger!). Put the battery back in. If it boots up, leave it alone (still on the charger) for 5 hours to see if it will fully charge and function again.
    Good luck!

  • Filter for rolling CMOS rolling shutter flash frames?

  • Flash frame problem fcpx.

    When I drop clips into my timeline (W) or when I copy and paste a clip from the timeline or hold "option" and copy a clip and drag it elsewhere. I always get these flash frames. Sometimes they are so small I can't expand the timeline enough to delete them. Anyone having the same problem?

    After I left the last message, things started getting even wierder. First, video scrubbing stopped working--nothing, wouldn't scrub at all. So I did a restart, and then video scrubbing started responding but would cause strobing flash frames as I was scrubbing. Much more than just a few frames between clips, but all throughout. At the same time my laptop fans were kicked into high, and the computer was getting very hot.
    I looked at my activity monitor, but the cpu wasn't working more than maybe a fifth of capacity. I then checked my dock and noticed that I had Quicktime 7 Pro running. I had used it to trim a video and output an audio sample from it. Just an old workflow habit. I shut down Quicktime and the fans quieted down, and then the scrubbing/strobing stopped happening. It was scrubbing smoothly again.
    I remembered I had previously duplicated the project I have been having the problems with, so I went back to the earlier copy. It still had the two story lines, with no black or flash frames yet. So I repeated the same process that had caused the flash frames to appear, dragging the clips from the secondary storyline down to the main storyline, and deleating the previous main storyline clips. I then dragged a buch of clips around, and added more with the 'e' command.
    No flash frames or black frames. No fans running on high. No overheating.
    I'm pretty sure that I started Quicktime 7 immediately after I duplicated the project, and it was still running when I made the changes to the duplicate that started exhibiting problems. And now with Quicktime off, I can't get it to repeat the flash-frame-effect. So it looks like, in my case at least, the cause of the problems was having FCPX and Quicktime 7 running at the same time.
