Green Shading Appears on Premiere CS6 Export?
Hello all,
Just recently, when I export my final projects in Premiere Pro CS6, I’m noticing a green shading in all the videos (see below). This hasn’t happened before. Just like always, I queue three or more exports in Encoder (a master MPEG2, a Youtube H.264, and a SD MPEG2) and let it run when I leave the office overnight. Any ideas?

Do it in steps to see what’s going on. First disable gpu acceleration (if any) and export fragment of timeline. After that uncheck “use maximum render quality” and export, after “frame blending” and export.
If green error is still present switch off grading effects and see how export works without them. -
Great idea Marcin!
I’ll get started on that and report back ASAP!
Thanks!

FWIW, Try exporting a master QT file first and then compressing your output files from that. Several times I exported directly from the sequence to h.264 and others and ended up with a green border on the right side of the frame. No such issue when I export a ProRes 422 QT as a master, then compress from that master file to my distribution formats.

Maybe want to tweak the whites a bit down.

Marcin,
I have no GPU Acceleration so I went and exported without using “Using Maximum Render Quality” and the problem is solved.
But any idea why that would cause the green shading?
Thanks so much for the help!

Thanks for the info Bill and Ann. I’ll definitely keep that in mind!

“But any idea why that would cause the green shading?”
Don’t know, but generally speaking, max render quality option uses different interpolation, color depth, resampling etc.
For future, when you do export with the same frame size what sequence is (and not using hardware acceleration) you don’t really need max render quality checked, but when resizing to smaller dimensions, you better check it (sharper output). And I’m not sure why you use frame blending when exporting to the same fps.
I would argue with Bill advice as general rule, alhtough it’s ok as work around. When you working not not on loseless or uncompressed, but on compressed sources like mpeg2 or h264, it is not such good idea output to Prores. First, there is conversion to other format, second, there is need for much more disc space for archiving. For compressed formats I would suggest doing masters in the same codec as the source. With fair bitrate (lets say 30%-50% more than source bitrate), there will be no difference in quality (in comparison to prores), but huge difference on gigabytes or simple significant lose of quality if you chose Prores LT for a master clip. I did some tests of Prores variables on 1080p h264 material, and my conclusion was, that only Prores 444 is reliable to maintain quality of the source, and Prores HQ is good for less quality demanding outputs (so is good for most of my work to be honest).
