No problem until last update...
Any solution or update in future?
Hope to hear from Adobe.

We are having the same issue at our shop.  We have 8 suites, all are experiencing red flashes ever since we upgraded to 7.2.1.
All the systems are Win7, and we've encountered red flashes with XDCam 35, XDCam 422 and Mpeg4 clips.  We haven't been to develop a workaround as the flashes occur in very inconsistent patterns.
For example, just a moment ago an editor called me in because he was getting red flashes on his exports.  We went to his timeline, and the timeline was showing red flashes as well.  We deleted the clip (an XDCam 422 clip) from the bin, and re-imported it.  It played in the viewer fine with no flashes.  We put it on the timeline and again it played fine.  We exported the sequence directly out of Premiere as an XDCam 422 clip (delivery format needed for the client) and the exported file contained red flashes.  We went back to the timeline and it had red flashes, and the clip in question had red flashes when viewed directly! WTF?! 
So we deleted the clip again, and re-imported it.  Played fine with no red flashes.  Put it on the timeline - no red flashes.  This time we exported the timeline as an AVC-I 100, and the exported file had no flashes.  As a test we went back and exported the timeline again as XDCam 422...and red flashes on the exported file, AND the timeline and original clip had red-flashes as well.
Could it be something with XDCam and/or MPEG compressed clips in general?  We've only done one more test with AVC-I (which was successful) but I'm not confident enough yet to say that exporting as AVC-I is a consistent workaround.

    getting red frames when export from cc 2014.2 codec used panasonic mxf format long GOP 50p. If any solution please help on that

    i solve my red frame problem. originally my project was done in premiere pro cc 2014.2 & i render in Encoder cc 2014. in newer version i get lots of red frames. i complain a lot to adobe customer support . they said they know the issues but they couldn't solve. I was so tired from adobe customer support. one of the worse customer services i had. My friend got the mac pro & e got premiere pro cc 7.2 version. i convert all my footage mxf to mp4 in encoder cc 7.2 version and i succeed. i don't get any red frames.
    So i think the problem is in adobe encoder cc 2014.2 version. newer version.

  • Red frames when exported to encore

    Not sure if this is an encore or a premiere pro problem
    I am trying to create a blu ray disc from a video shot in HDV.
    I have captured and edited my video in premiere pro and it looks great but I am having problems getting it on to a blu ray disc. I am using premiere pro CS3.
    If I export to encore or use the adobe media encoder I end up with a few clips being affected by being replaced with bright red frames.
    Now I have tried this on two projects and its always the same clips which are affected
    so I have started a new project gone back to the source footage and captured just a clip which was affected and tried to encode that single clip with the same results it gets corrupted into red frames.
    The clip plays perfectly well in premiere pro and can be exported back to tape without any problems ...so what is going on

    Thanks for responding Jeff.
    Its hard to know what has corrupted the frames as sometimes after encoding i get some completely red frames and some whith a little of what should be there showing through.
    It happens consistantly on two clips that I have been using in different projects.
    so as I said before I have created a new project gone back to the original and recaptured those two clips into my new project and tried to encode them in several different ways but all fail to encode properly.
    This is a Pal Project recorded captured and edited in HDV
    I used the MPEG2 settings and frame size of 1440X1080.
    I first used the default setting for 1440x1080 quality high, with a default qualty of 4 and then increased the quality to 5 without improving things.
    Ive tried reducing the target bit rate from the default to 20, still the same.
    Ive tried using CBR instead of VBR 2 pass. still no difference.
    My machine is a Dual Quadcore Xeon processors. with 4 GB of ram and a Matrox RTX2 card. both my video hard discs have around 50% free.
    I really am struggling to know what is wrong.

  • Red frames in export with version 7.2.1

    Sometimes when I export a material appears in any part of the video a red frame. Would i like to know what to do to solve my problem?
    I have a MAC PRO OS X 10.8.5 and i'm using premiere pro cc 7.2.1.
    Thanks!!

    Hi William,
    Can you update Premiere Pro to Premiere Pro CC (7.2.2) or CC 2014? That should solve your issue.
    Thanks,

  • Red frames when exporting mfx from new media encoder

    I edit TV programs each week that are mastered as MXF comps. Updated to premiere pro 8.2 (MacPro Late 2013) yesterday. Now when I export a program using the updated Media Encoder que, I'm getting full page red frames intermittently. How can I go back to the previous release? I can't wait for the bugs to be worked out.

  • MXF decode errors and red frames in exports

    Ever since upgrading to Premiere Pro release 2014.2 (8.2.0 (65) Build) we've been having problems with random red frames appearing in our exports.  These errors are always associated with our Sony PMW-200 media files (.mxf files.)  Red frames during editing happen very rarely, but are usually present in our exports.  For short form work re-exporting the sequence will work sometimes, but may cause red frames to appear elsewhere...  For long form work we've adopted a very lengthy work-around to fix the errors after exporting.
    Phone support recommended deleting the media cache files, but we've tried that and the problem still exists.  This problem is happening with new media that has been imported since the upgrade as well as old media that we imported before the upgrade.  We're editing with many mixed media files all in their native codec and the only media files that get flagged with decode errors are the .mxf files.
    We edit a large volume of work daily and this problem is a huge setback in our confidence with our exports as well as Adobe products.
    For the record were editing with Mac Pros that are about a 3-5 years old with OS X 10.8.5 and an Xsan shared storage system.  We have a Cloud for Teams subscription and all our software is updated frequently.
    Any thoughts would be helpful.  Personally I would love to escalate this problem to a higher level support team.

    Eric

    I have the same problem running Adobe CC on high-end PCs. - My business is smalish, but this leads to having a rather big impact on my confidence.
    MXF-files from Canon C300 and Sony FS7 platforms.
    - With FS7 footage I've had the frames appear throughout a clip with perfect distance (16 frames apart) - when applying Denoiser 2 from Red Giant. - The plugin simply stopped the frames from appearing on a random basis.
    - I've also experienced that when the error was present, dissolves became cuts.
    - I've tried to isolate software/hardware rendering, but it does not seem to change anything to select one over the other.
    I try work around it by rendering uncompressed sections of the timeline and replace it where it works, and then try again and again. - Very time-consuming and cumbersome.

  • Aperture cannot export multiple projects for original files

    i want to export projects (original files) to time capsule folder for sharing
    i can only go into the individual projects, select all, then export to my desire location
    but i cannot select multiple projects and do it at once, as i have 100+ projects
    it will be a nightmare if i go projects by projects

    Tks for the reply , the reason I wrote (original) means I want each project name will be a directory name
    That is what the Export settings in my screenshot should give you, if you select the images from several projects at once and export using "File > Export > Originals".
    Only you have to select the images inside the projects, not the projects in "Projects" view. Move the projects to a containing folder and select all images in the folder, or select all photos in the "Photos" view.

  • Exporting using H.264. File is huge. Help.

    I am trying to export a quicktime file using H.264. For some reason when I export the file is absolutely massive.  It results in a 6.5 GB file. It should be significantly smaller.  Perhaps someone can help me with my settings?

    What is your frame size and what are you exporting for? YouTube, Vimeo, your own web site, Blu-Ray?
    A six minute 1080p YouTube video using H.264 to get a mp4 file should come out to around 356MB.
    I just exported one to see how big it was, and it came out very close to the estimate. If we knew what the purpose of the video was, we could make better recommendations. But if it happens to be for YouTube as so many are these days, just choose the preset as shown below for HD. Or choose the frame size that is appropriate for the frame size of your sequence.

  • Can I edit a HD project in SD, then export HD from the original files?

    I have a project that has been shot in HDV that, for a couple of reasons, I have to edit on my laptop instead of my rather powerful desktop. As well as it being HDV (1080 50i), it's also going to need lots of effects adding to it. Now, my laptop is pretty good for a laptop, but I know it's not going to be able to handle this - it plays back HDV choppily at the best of times, so this would give it a heart attack.
    So I was wondering - would it be possible to take the captured HDV files, export them as SD files (like standard DV Microsoft AVI), which my laptop can handle easily, edit using those files but then, at the end, export the video in 1080 50i from the original captured HDV files (using my desktop if necessary)?
    I think I've seen or heard this discussed before, because that's where I got the idea from. So is it possible, and if so, how?

    Thanks for the quick response. I've just read through that other thread, thanks for the link. Also thanks for making me realise that what I'm looking for is called proxy editing - if I'd known that, I would have found much more useful information when I first googled for it! I've actually just tried something similar, playing around with the first 30 seconds of my footage. I've exported it as two files - HD.mpeg and SD.avi, created a new project, imported the AVI, did a simple edit, added some lighting effects, saved it, then closed. I then moved the AVI file and reopened the project - of course it told me the file was missing and asked me where it was. I pointed it to HD.mpeg instead of SD.avi and it accepted it - the project is now in HD with the edit and effects intact. That's basically exactly what I wanted, there's just one problem I can foresee - I'll have to edit the 720x576 footage in 1440x1080 sequences, leaving a huge margin around the edges in the sequence monitor. I can live with that by zooming in on it, until I have to crop a shot, then it's going to be tricky to get it scaled and positioned correctly. I'm going to make some kind of guide to overlay it, see how that works out - it should do me for this one project.

  • Premiere CC 7.1 - Red frames in playback and export

    Having some problems after the 7.1 update.
    In a variety of projects, on a variety of footage, we're experiencing random fully red frames (#ff000). Sometimes there are 1-2 frames in a clip, and occaisionally it's 80%-90% of the frames in a clip (this is less frequent). It has never been all of the frames of a clip.
    This happens:
    - On an undrendered timeline (you'll be watching an edit and you'll see a red frame - if you scrub back to it it'll still be there)
    - On a rendered timeline
    - In exports
    Red frames that are visible on a timeline, are sometimes carried through to the export and sometimes not. Sometimes an exported file will display red frames that were not present on the timeline.
    Red frames seem to be based on clips, not sequence frames. For example, in one of my exports, I had video footage with a lower third graphic over it. In one frame of the export, a red box appeared over the graphic, but the main shot was not affected.
    This has happened to the following types of footage:
    - .MTS (from C100)
    - .MXF (from C300)
    - ProRes 422 MOV
    - ProRes 4444 MOV with alpha channel
    Fixes that seem to work:
    - If an export has red frames, re-export. Watch the new one like a hawk. Repeat until you get lucky.
    - If a clip on a timeline has red frames, force a re-render via a Crop filter or similar
    - Quit Premiere and reopen it
    System/environment details:
    - OSX 10.8.5
    - Premiere Pro CC 7.1
    - Mercury Playback Engine Software Only
    - Often (always?) I-Frame Only MPEG sequence settings
    - Much (all?) of the footage we've been working with has been on AFP shares via GigE with MTU of 9000
    I haven't been able to confirm yet:
    - Whether this ever happens with locally stored footage
    - Whether this ever happens when Queueing to media encoder (rather than Exporting from Premiere)
    - Whether changing to a QuickTime Desktop based sequence setting resolves the issue
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue? It's frutstratingly un-testable, since it seems to happen at random. We'll continue to gather data points though and see if we notice any other trends.
    Edit: Added additional system context

    the error also appears with PRORES 422 files, but only after a certain amount of source data from prores 422 clips is processed / read
    i made a test comp in AE with only one gigantic prores 422 source clip (8000 pixels x 1000 pixels @25fps) and the error first appeared at around 1500 frames read from the source file (equalling a few GB of source read and processed). after the red frames error appears once, the erroneous red frames appear more often but never in the same place when rendering the same comp several times)
    i also made a test comp containing only a few full HD prores 422 clips (1920 x 1080, @25fps), there the error appeared only seldom (but still randomly). so it can be that a broader user base never experiences this erroneous behaviour at all.
    i also made a testcomp containing about 40 full HD prores 422 clips (each 1920 x 1080, scaled down to 10% in size and distributed all over the comp so i can see them all at once). the erroneous red frames appeared within the first rendered frames!! obviously, many qt files had to be open and read in parallel, and so the error appeared from the very beginning of the rendering / export.
    i suspect that the AE / PR applications open a RAM buffer for each open prores source file they need to read, and that this buffers somehow becomes compromised when it overflows and when buffer resize / buffer clear / flush operations take place.
    of course i tested all sorts of RAM assignents for MP rendering (1GB per core, 2GB, 4GB, 6GB) and i rendered with several different settings of how many cores and ram should be available to other tasks. but the error always appeared. randomly.
    --> fact in AE is, that nearly all MP renders / exports using prores clips as source files contained the bad red frames. when rendering without the MP option on (but of course up to 20x slower) so far i never experienced this error (of course always after fresh restarts once the error appeared)
    PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP

  • Still Having Random Red Frame Issues

    I've been reading several threads about the dreaded red frames when exporting through Premiere Pro CC or Adobe Media Encoder CC.  I have installed the Premiere Pro CC (7.2.1) update and I have cleared my cache and re-rendered previews for the sequence.  My source clips in my sequence are MXF files (XDCAM HD 35) and I am operating on a Mac OSX-Version 10.8.5
    What is really frustrating is that I'm dealing with multiple clips in this format and it is totally random as to which ones are affected.  Sometimes I don't even see the red frame when watching the clip through, but when I export it, it's there.  I know that the fix mentioned in the previous thread was supposed to help those using ProRes files, but the MXF files are still being affected.
    Thanks for any and all help.

    Hi Kevin,
    I'm still having this problem with the red frame errors.  Also, it's not
    limited to Premiere Pro.  Just trying to convert one .mxf file to a .mov or
    .mpg file through Media Encoder (while bypassing Media Encoder) is causing
    the same issue.  And it's totally random and intermittent with respect to
    which file I send through.  Also, sometimes, sending the file that didn't
    work the first time back through AME again, sometimes converts successfully
    and sometimes doesn't.  There is no constant which makes it very difficult
    to pinpoint the problem.

  • When using "export" Preview overwrites original file.

    After opening and making changes to an image file, Preview, using “save” or “export”  ( with file renamed when using Export) is overwriting the original file. How do I prevent this?
    Or, another and probably better way to ask the question.  What is the equivalent of “ Save as” in the Mavericks version of Preview?
    Thank you for the help.
    P.S.  There must be a "Save As" lobby somewhere in the community! :-)

    Preview will Autosave as you work. If you want to Revert the changes, use the Revert To command in the File menu.
    You can Duplicate the current version and save it, then Revert the original if you fail to start with a Duplicate.
    Since it is Autosaving, Save As… won't change the results you see.
    There might be a way to disable autosave, but I don't know what it is.

  • Another weird media issue - red frames at the end of h.264

    Tested with CS6 and CC, bunch of media exported using h.264 wrapped in MOV or MP4, this media plays fine in QT player, Windows Media Player, Media Composer, Sorenson Squezze, CatDV, Flame, Smoke, and any other app I try, but in any CC or CS6 app, the last frame is a red frame, which also takes time to show up if you park right in that frame, and some times crashed the app.
    Something else is while any other app not from Adobe reports movies to have for example 300 frames, Adobe apps will report to have 301... I can repeat this on any machine I test.
    Can provide a movie for testing too.
    V.

    here is:
    https://www.yousendit.com/download/bWJyS3hjNDJUMFBFdzhUQw
    open it with QT player and switch it to show you frames not time, you will see it says 60 frames (0 to 59) and there is no red frame,  open it with any CC or CS6 app and you will see 61 frames, last one red. This is not very noticeable in Premiere Pro CC when playing, but if you park on the last frame you will see it, After Effects gets pretty slow and not responding for a few seconds when you park on the last frame.

  • Red Frames in Playback and Export

    After finding out that others have had this problem and found solutions, I expected the solutions to work, but no luck so far.
    I am working with HDV 1080i60 footage in Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 on OS 10.9.1. When I play my footage through the source window (by double-clicking it in the Project window) or on a sequence timeline, I see intermittent red frames - a lot of them. The red frames persist through export, leaving me with no way to edit this footage except to transcode it to a different format - presumably with an encoder other than Adobe Media Encoder.
    Adobe, you have posted possible solutions for other people with this problem, but obviously it persists. What's the nex step?

    LFedit, my red frames do not appear only on cross dissolves. They appear during normal playback in the source monitor as well as in the program monitor AND in the small preview area in the project window.
    I've seen posts about this problem from the end of 2013, but I'm glad to know I'm not the only still experiencing trouble. I've already submitted a bug request to Adobe. Please do the same, LFedit. The more people report it, the more likely Adobe will pay attention.

  • Red frames in Sequence/Exports

    Hello. I'm experiencing red frames (some longer than others) within my timeline and on exported files. Sometimes they wont be on the timeline but appear in the export file and vice versa. I'm using XAVC-L codec from my Sony FS7 camera in a AVCHD 1080p timeline. I'm trying to export to H264 .mov files. This happens in both Premiere and by going through Media Encoder.
    Specs:
    Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 Release 8.2.0 (65) build

    Hi,
    Have you tried exporting to a different format? I would suggest so.
    You can also try to change the Video Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine software only under File > Project settings > General
