    Hey! I’ve recently tried to get into editing, and I’ve already been faced with a problem! :0000

    So every time I insert a clip I want to use, the clip in the preview turns purple and green. I don’t know why this happens or how to solve it! Can anyone help me?

    I’ve seen this before with certain video files (and this behavior persists through multiple softwares not just AE). I have not found a workaround for this other than transcoding (which is almost always a good idea). From what I have seen pewviously it has to do with some uncommon settings in the H.264 render itself and a re-render in H.264 will usually fix it (but this will be a second lossy encode, if you are transcoding just use an intermediary codec).

    Where and how was the source file generated?
