Red Flashes in footage

Hello All,
I'm having an issue where footage has completely random frames that are completely solid red. I was working with raw MXF wrapped files that are 1080p from a sony F5 so I thought it I might need to transcode. So I transcoded everything to Pro Res 422 (LT). The flashes are still there but in different places in the clip. The frames that were competely red are now fine but other frames in the clip are now solid red. Upon re-transcoding the exact same clips the red frame are always in different seemingly random places in the clip. Ranging from 1-5 flashes per clip for all my footage. I imagine I'm dealing with some form of corrruption here but the frames that are lost or corrupted should theoretically be consistent right? How could frames that are lost magically reappear upon re-transcoding? I'm a bit stumped. The raws are stored in DMG's. This a problem prevelent throughout the footage not just one card. (There are 5 dmg's from 5 transfers from SxS cards. Not sure how many cards were used on set. Help is much appreciated. I was transcoding in Media Encoder. Premiere CC 2014 8.0.0 Thanks.

I've had this problem too on a PC using AVCHD video. I tried transcoding it in Prelude, which helped but I still had one instance of it happening. I don't recall this ever happening until recently.
I have 2 cameras, a Panasonic HMC150 and an AF100. I've got the red-frame problem twice and both times it was with the af100 shooting in interlaced mode (its never happened in progressive. Might be a coinsidence, don't know for sure.

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
Michael

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.

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.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

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!

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?
Cheers, Ruth

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.

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.

How can I fix red flashing tint in new iMovie?

I imported a .mov file into the new imovie version and now I am getting a red flashing tint....how can i fix this??

dasacom,
In addition to what imagecollection said, the Live Rectangle bug is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.
So a switch to Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

Won't start -- five red-flashes sequence

My PlayBook worked just fine until last evening. Battery life was good; with no start-up or play issues. Original model; has worked well for nearly 3 years. Has latest OS. Never been dropped or abused in any way.
Last night it wouldn't wake up. I did a hard reboot (power button for 15 seconds) and then it seemed to start, but when the GUI came up the screen was insensitive: no reaction to touch anywhere. I then did a hard reset (both volume buttons plus power button), and now all I can get is a five-red-flashes sequence: flash pause flash flash flash pause flash -- longer pause, then repeat.
I had the BlackBerry charger plugged in overnight... no change, still get the five-red-flashes. Tried another hard reset, same result.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
Solved!

Random blue/red flash on screen when exiting apps

Hi,
I have an iphone 6 64gb with ios 8.1. I encounter a weird blue and sometimes red flash on screen when exiting app (specific to galaxy empire only). It looks like the blue/red screen of death but just a very quick flashing. so far no other problems occured but it sokehow makes me uncomfortable especially the phone is only less than 3 weeks old. Is it a hardware problem?

Red flashing over my keyed video footage

I'm fairly new to AE, and I have had some problems after keying video footage.
I have keyed my footage as prescribed in the adobe tutorial that is available on this site, using Keylight 1.2. This has worked fine removed my blue background and the presenter looks really clean etc.
The problem that I have is that I have noticed once it has been rendered is that I am getting the image turn red a couple of times during the footage just for a split second. It also only changes the area red that I used the pen and rotobezier tool to mark round the image before I keyed it.
I know that the description of what is going wrong for me isn't the best, but if anyone has had anything similar or knows what I'm talking about then I could really so with some help to stop it from happening.
Cheers
Matt

Have you downloaded the Keylight updates from The Foundry wensite? There were a few bugs in the plugin that only got fixed after CS3 was released. You may also wish to pre-compose your masked layer to avoid the flickering. If this changes the result too much (as Keylight will respond to the missing areas that affect its formula), add a blue solid in the pre-comp thast matches the average key color.
