Black Frames and Interlaced Lines.
I did a search for this and found nothing related, so here goes. I have a feature length movie that recently started rendering 4 different black frames througout the movie. Actually, 3 of the 4 are half black, 1 is totally black. They each appear at chapter points oddly enough. I have been rendering this movie for some time now and it just started happening recently. Also, I was informed, although I have never seen them myself, that there appear to be interlaced lines in the footage as well. I have watched this on about 4 different setups and have never seen them. Here are my settings:
Shot on a Panasonic AG-DVX100A, 24Pa, 16:9 in camera. I always do the sound seperatly so I am only rendering video. I have tried every configuration I can think of. Drop-frame, non-drop frame, progressive. I encode out of Premiere Pro 2.0. Any help wold be great, I have been beating my head against the wall for weeks on this.

My suggestion – try to import project into AE, and render.
For me would be easier to suggest you if I knew what were capture settings and what are project you’re working in settings. Looks like you’re working with mpegs. -
Hi, thanks for the reply. Actually, I captured within premiere, using the Panasonic 24P project settings since that is waht it was shot on. My entire timeline is now 90% AE project files since I did all my color correction there. That way any chages I can make on the fly and it gets updated in my premiere timeline. Very handy way to work! The black frames only started showing up within the last 10 renders or so. I changed nothing. However, the black frames are each at a chapter point. Not sure about teh horizantal lines since I have never seen them myself and I have viewed it on a number of different systems and configurations. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks for your help!

It’s a bit hard to say something really useful in this particular situation without touching the machine and the project. Do you see these black frames while you’re playing footage in PPRO ? If no – it will be something with export settings, if you get interlaced frames (when working with 24p) it could only be caused by project/export incorrect settings. It could be kind a problem with plugins/effects. Maybe each chapter where black frames appear have a particular effect/plugin applied ? Have you tried to remove color corrections or whatever you’ve done and render ? Have you tried to create new PPRO project based on 24p and import that one you experience problem with ? Or even reinstall PPRO ?
