Strange frames appear in exported video

Okay, I have a DV NTSC sequence in FCP 6.0 with some 320x240 dv clips and some 640x480 qt files made from iphoto slideshows. When I export>quicktime movie>current settings, the resulting file has some random frames with bright colors in the 'tv snow' pattern with a trace of the intended image in there. When I repeat, the anomalous frames appear in the same locations. Any ideas, fellas?

let me add: the sequence is 320x240. In trying to work around, I can export to quicktime conversion without the strange frames appearing. Also, I've reimported the qt version back into a FCP timeline and tried to ripple delete them out, but FCP quits repeatedly when I scroll onto the weird frames (6 times).

Black strobe glitch / dropped frames on rendered, exported video

I'm editing a sequence with 30+ clips and multiple layered tracks in Premiere Pro CC 2014. I've added multiple effects through Adjustment Layers, sometimes multiple layers where masked videos + track matte was needed to add further elements. After a fresh render a weird thing started to happen - black 'strobe' starts to appear on the video, like some frames are dropped and it fades in and out to and from black 2-3 times within a second. This is visible after rendering a preview and also if I export.
Here is an example:
adjusment_prob
If I remove all Adjustment layers, everything's back to normal and it renders fine (this is visible in the video).
I've tried removing all third party effects from the timeline and from PP altogether.
I've tried resetting all preferences, now even reinstalling Premiere Pro CC.
The weird thing is after it happens, of I try a completely fresh project and sequence with a clean video and drop an adjusment layer on it the problem appears again! Like my whole system or a codec or something else is corrupted.
I'm struggling with this issue for 2 days now without solutions and it's becoming very frustrating.
Any suggestions?

Wow! Actually I didn't try software only, however your suggestion brought me to the realisation that my Mercury hardware acceleration was set to OpenCL instead of CUDA! I switched it to CUDA and I believe it's all fine now! Thanks!!

Need help with optimizing text appearance when exporting video

Here's what I'm trying to do:
1. Convert a Powerpoint presentation to an MP4 (AVC) file, frame rate 30 (actually defaults to 29.97) and video bit rate of 1200kbps,using Wondershare PPT2VideoPro. (There are no actual video clips contained in the original PPT file).
2. Import the newly created MP4 video into a new project in Premeire Elements.
3. Add audio files (WAV) created by Audacity.
4. Export the final product as a video.
Here's the problem:
The text quality in the final exported film is very poor, and the screen occasionally seems to sublty flicker once and a while. I've tried multiple different settings, but all with the same result.
Can anyone offer suggestions on optimal settings for exporting the final product such that the text is as clear as possible? (The text in the MP4 file created by Wondershare looks great.)
Thanks!
- Ernest

One option would be to create the Text Images in Photoshop, and Save_As a PSD.
For large sets of Titles, I do the text portion in Word/WordPerfect, so I can use Spell-Check. Then in PS, I just Copy/Paste the text into an Image, where I apply all of the PS Styles that I need. Because I use PrPro for most of my NLE work, I will often do the Titles with Layered Text, and Import those as a Sequence, so that the Layers are not Flattened. This allows me to independently animate each Layer, as I need. Unfortunately, PrE does not allow one to Import the Layered PSD's, Unflattened, as it does not have Sequences.
Also note that PrE's Titler's Styles are just a starting point. Once applied, one can alter most aspects, and when they are satisfied with the changes, they can then Save the new Style and re-use it over and over. Do not forget the ability to modify those Styles.
From PowerPoint, and this depends on the version, the best that one can usually do is to Export each "slide" as a TIFF, and Import those into the NLE program.
Good luck,
Hunt

Strange frames i can't get rid of

I'm using premiere to cut an already cut movie. this means that most of my edits are close to a pre-existing cut. for some reason single frames are seen in the edits when i play it back, but not when i advance frame by frame.
to make matters worse when i exported my project, even more of these strange frames appeared at almost every cut i made. it makes my edit look incredibly ammaturish, but i can't get rid of them!!
the more i search through the footage frame by frame the less extra frames i see, but the more i play it back, the more appear
it's totally infuriating!

In the context of a straight cut, surely no handles are nessicary?
by straight cut (just so there are no further misunderstandings) I mean that one frame is in one shot and the very next is in another with no transitions such as fades etc. just whack to the next clip; the standard most common cut.
i'm pretty sure handles isn't the problem.

Anchored frames appear in white

Hello there
I'm using RH9 / FM10 to create an online documentation for my company's products.
I link my FM documents in RH. However, my problem is that the anchored frame around my images appear in white (see example below). I wondered if there is a way to make my anchored frames transparent ? Thanks a lot for your help.

let me add: the sequence is 320x240. In trying to work around, I can export to quicktime conversion without the strange frames appearing. Also, I've reimported the qt version back into a FCP timeline and tried to ripple delete them out, but FCP quits repeatedly when I scroll onto the weird frames (6 times).

APE 10: How to select a frame be the thumbnail for the exported video file?

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and using Windows 7. I create a title and place it as the first clip in the Sceneline. When I export the video and look at the file using Windows Explorer folder view, the thumbnail shown is a frame from another clip and not the clip containing the title. How can I get the title to be used as the thumbnail for exported video files?

Hi Bill, thanks for your thoughts on this.
The file created is indeed the one intended and in the correct folder. When I double-click on the file the video is played and the first thing I see is the title. So the video created has what I expect. Go figure.
I'm starting to think that there might be a Windows setting that determines how Windows Explorer picks the frame to be used as the thumbnail for video files. I have not found any reference to it so far.
Here is some new info...
If I replace the first clip that has the title with another clip, then the thumbnail is created from that first clip. As soon as I add the title as the first clip, then the thumbnail is created from the second clip.
OK ---- I just found information that states that the thumbnails are created by Windows and placed in a file that act as a cache for the thumbnails. This prevents Windows Explorer from generating the thumbnails each time the folder is viewed. In my computer (64-bit Win 7), the thumnail cache files are stored in folder "C:\Users\Ramon\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer". They have an extension of ".db". I found the information at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_thumbnail_cache

Video set to stop on last frame appears lighter than last frame

I've got a video set to "stop on the last frame" using the technique described here:
http://digitalpublishing.tumblr.com/post/6141054971/how-to-make-a-video-stop-at-the-last-f rame-here
Works great. But whenever I do this, there is a slight darkening when the multi-state object appears at the end. To create the image for the multi-state objects, I opened the video in Photoshop, grabbed the last frame, and saved it as a JPEG.
Anyone have any ideas? I've tried saving the end image as a PNG, lots of other workarounds, but the problem persists. I've noticed this in other publications I've downloaded also, so I think the problem is widespread.

great to see this trick evolve in a first-frame-lasf-frame-method, wich I
thought about,too lately.
Will post an update in my article next time ii get the chance.

AE exported video appears black in Premiere Pro

Do I have wrong settings or something in my Premiere (Pro 1.5) or more likely in export settings of my After Effects 6.5, cause after I've exported a video clip from AE and bring it to Premiere, the video turns black. I can hear it's audio though.
If I watch the same exported video with some video player, it's ok.
Thanks,
Jussi

Umm, could you please provide some format specs? You know, I can watch videos on YouTube "in some player" and it's okay, but that does not mean that these videos will have any value in Premiere. Not meaning to be snobistic here, but everyone's telepathy can only go so far and in my case it seems I'm not tuned to your brainwave length....

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

Please help with a problem I have with Re-Exporting Video

Hi to all Encore and Premiere users.
I will try to make this as clear as possible.
I have made 2 very short movies in Premiere and exported them for use in Encore.
I have made a project in Encore using both of these short movies on 2 timelines and all is fine.
I then decided I would like a 30sec introduction to one of them which I have made using After Effects.
I have imported this short introduction into Premiere and placed it at the beginning of one of the Movies, checked all is well and then Re-Exported it over writing the original file, and all appeared to be OK
Moving back into Encore I opened the project and previewed this movie but found that 30sec from the end it stopped, checking the end of the timeline I found that approx 30sec of video and audio was missing.
Encore would not allow me to delete the movie, or import it as a new asset.
I went back into Premiere and Exported again and every frame appeared to go through OK.
But found the same result in Encore.
Can anyone help me with ideas of what could have gone wrong?
Best Regards
Allan

Hi Jo
I tried that, result was No Video, only Audio until I paused then a still picture appeared. Start to play again, No Video,only Audio, very strange.
In the end I had to delete everything with regard to this clip, and save project.
Opened project again and imported Audio and Video, set up new time line and all is working fine now.
On refection it would appear that the 30sec into I introduced at the beginning of the film knocked of 30sec at the end of the Video for reasons which are totally unknown to me.
All is well now and thank you for your help.
Best Regards
Allan

Exported Video Does Not Look Right

I am sure this is a basic setting I am overlooking, but a lot of this is new to me - any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
My goal is to create a high quality 640x480 movie for Computer/Web viewing only.
• I shot a short video using a Canon Vixia HV30 to mini DV tape using the SD standard - no problem. I guess that records at 720x480 non-square pixels at 29.97fps - is that right?
• I used log and capture inside of FCP v6.0.5 to capture the various clips I needed - no problem (I don't think). If I open each of those clips from the finder in Quicktime they look "pretty" good, but a bit of aliasing on the diagonals and somewhat blurry, but not sure why? Everything looks sharp on the smaller camera LCD screen? and looks pretty good inside of FCP on the Canvas? If I open one of these captures directly inside of Quicktime and do a get info, it says...
DV 720x480 (640x480)
FPS: 29.95
Normal Size: 640x480 pixels
Current Size: 640x480 pixels (Actual)
All these Quicktime movies appear slightly larger in height and width than the same clips when viewed in the FCP Canvas?
If I open the Sequence Settings in FCP it says...
Frame Size 720 x 480 NTSC DV (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio NTSC - CCIR 601 /DV (720x480)
Field Dominance: None
Editing Timebase: 29.97
Everything looked pretty good inside FCP so I Exported a QT Movie using "Current Settings". Then opened the resulting self-contained movie in QT and it looks pretty bad. When I get info in QT on the rendered final movie it reads...
DV 720x480 (640x480)
FPS: 29.97
Normal Size: 720x480 pixels
Current Size: 640x480 pixels (Actual)
So... the FPS and the Normal Size are not the same as the captured original clips.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Is this just the wrong Sequence Settings, Export Settings or do I have to start over an re-capture all my footage some other way?
PS - I am assuming that the DV Camcorder is recording interlaced (60 fields) rather than progressive - is that right. Do I need to de-interlace the video somehow?
Message was edited by: ChoreoGraphics

I'm far from being an expert, but since no one has replied to you yet, and because I've been helped out here plenty of times, I'll post something and who knows -- it may be the answer.
Your post was really long but from what I can gather, you're wondering why your exported video does not look good when you open it in QuickTime. Try this: Open the video in QT, hit command-J, then click on Video Track, then at the bottom right (under Visual Settings) you'll see High Quality, Single Field, and Deinterlace. Click around on those to see if that improves what you see.

Horizontal Lines on Exported Video

I have a problem where the video I export displays strange horizontal lines on moving objects. Let me expand. My source video is shot on a Sony HDV device generating clips of 1440x1080i 1.333 ratio with 25fps. The video is displayed fine within PE9 and any exported video as M2T at 1440 x1080 (H.264 preset) also displays fine. However, I also wish to create Windows Media (WMV) exports but the exported video is subject to horizontal banding. I have tried various settings including modifying the preset HD 720p 25 to including interlaced processing and manually setting aspect ratios but the same thing happens. This also happens with the AVI preset.
As suggested by the help I also adjusted the clip settings before export to include "reverse field dominance" and "Interlace consecutive frames" but that made things worse.
I'm sure this will have something to do with interlacing settings somewhere. Can anyone help? An example of the video is below:

@ Steve - to answer your questions:
Yes, HDV tape, shot on a Sony HDR HR1CE on Sony HDV tape
Yes, project settings set exactly the same as the source format - PAL | HDV | HDV 1080i 25
Yes, over firewire using PE9
Imported clips are trimmed as required, inserted into project, a title added (from the templates), some video and audio transitions applied between clips and that's it really. Haven't used any advanced settings.
As I say looks fine (i.e no interlacing) in the preview and when exported as M2T H.264. Interlacing occurs with other share presets. I don't believe what I'm attempting should require me to use any 3rd party exporters or software as PE9 should have no problem.

Lightroom 5.4 exported videos in PRE 10 problems

Recently started making MP4 exported slideshows in newly installed LR 5.4. When I import them into PRE 10 projects, I'm getting playback artifacts in the PRE 10 monitor that are very strange. The videos seem to be playing back fine, but all of sudden, in the middle of playing the picture videos, green screens and most often red screens are interpolated between the pictures playing back. Some of the pictures in the video are also missing in the playback. The interpolated screens will last for up to 30 seconds in the PRE timeline. The exported videos play fine in Windows Media Player and other playback programs.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing:
I never had these problems with previous versions of LR exported slideshows. I experimented loading test projects in PRE 10 with video exported from earlier versions of LR (LR4 and 5.3). None of those earlier videos had the problems I'm now experiencing with the newly exported LR 5.4 videos
Any ideas as to why these problems might be happening now with LR 5.4 videos? Are there any project setttings or preferences in PRE 10 that would fix this problem? Is there a bug in either program? Or is there some other issue I'm not seeing?
Thanks!
FYI: Windows 7 Home Premium; Intel i-7 3.5GHZ Quad Core; 8 MB memory

Thanks John. Below is a comparison of 2 videos from MediaInfo. The file on the left is from LR5.4, the one on the right is from LR 4.4.
Note that the LR 5.4 MP4 slideshow export includes actual videos that are in the slideshow as well as still pictures. Since it includes actual videos, it also includes audio. The LR 4.4 MP4 does NOT include any audio since LR 4.4 only created the MP4 files from still pictures.
FYI: I realize now that also exported MP4 Slideshow files of still pictures only from LR 5.3. Those files also worked fine in PRE 10. HOWEVER, I did NOT include any video files in the 5.3 exported MP4 slideshows. Instead, I manually inserted each video as separate files in the PRE 10 project timeline.
So I ‘m guessing that the problem in PRE 10 has something to do with embedding videos in the LR 5.4 exported slideshows. I see some differences in the files data below, but I don’t know enough to know how they might impact PRE 10. I know I CANNOT change the slideshow MP4 video export settings in LR 5.4 other than the export size.
I was hoping I wouldn’t have to insert the videos in PRE 10 projects individually, but I suspect I may have to.
Does the data below provide some explanation to the problem?
Thanks again,
LarryER
