Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Bug – Premiere Exporting White

  • Bug – Premiere Exporting White

    Posted by Steven Kirkby on September 16, 2025 at 12:36 am

    Hi,

    I’m exporting a 38-minute sequence from Premiere Pro, made up of various media formats including RED, GoPro, and drone footage. Unfortunately, I’ve run into a frustrating issue: when I export the full sequence (which takes about an hour), a series of shots near the beginning export as white solids. The audio is intact, but the visuals for those shots (RED footage) appear completely white.

    If I recall correctly, this started happening after I applied a push transition effect into those clips from RED footage, though I’ve since removed it. I’ve also deleted all render files, but the issue persists.

    My current workaround is to export the full sequence, then re-export just the affected section from the first white frame to the last and stitch it back in manually. That seems to work, but it’s obviously not ideal.

    Has anyone experienced something similar? If so, how did you resolve it? Or does anyone have suggestions for what I could try next?

    I’m running Premiere Pro v25.5.0 on an M4 Pro Mac Mini.

    Thanks in advance—any info would be greatly appreciated!

    Steve

    That is very odd. One of the bugs of Premiere.

    Did you try creating a new Sequence, even a new project, and copying and pasting the timeline content onto that new sequence? It may solve it.

    It is strange that even after you delete the effects and renders, they still remain; all these sophisticated software and latest hardware get stuck at some point.

    Hey Tebes,

    Adobe v25.5 is still buggy, so may want to roll back a version.

    However:

    Are you exporting directly from PPro or via the Media Encoder. If you’ve not tried both give it a go.

    But!!! Before you do that, maybe export just the parts that gives you a white screen, and see what that do on export? (Rather than waiting the full hour)

    Also, I am mainly on PC where at times I need to purchase and install codec seperately.
    It may be that you need to download and install RED specific codec?

    Adobe has been known in the past for removing codec’s from their software. Although weired that you can see it in the edit, it could be that it is not “connected” to the exporter, hence go back one version and check what happens there.

    Hope that this was somewhat helpful?

    Hi!

    Did you ever figure out the solution to this? I’ve been having the same problem, and nothing is working.

    Let me know, please! Thank you in advance.

    The flashes of white were only happening on one clip so i converted the individual clip. I also then exported through media encoder so between those two things it stopped happening. Not exactly sure which solution fixed it. Perhaps both.

    Also big thanks to the guys who originaly answered my quetion. Appologies i didnt thank you earlier. Much appreciated.
