Ghost frames from deleted/moved clips appear in other clips in timeline. Premiere CS6
On early 2011 mbp, os x lion. ex1 footage.
In timeline, when moving/deleting a clip on track 2, last frame is somehow embedded within track 1 clip under it. Same thing happens on the cut if two clips are on the same track – if you move/ delete one, a frame of it would appear as the nearest frame on the adjacent clip, even though they did not overlap.
If I match frame, it’s not on the original, but if I try to reinsert the clip again, the ghost frame appears again.
Did an export QT and it disappears back to normal. Exported xml to FCP7 and it doesn’t show either.
I’m thinking it’s a rendering thing.Any thoughts?

G’day Nikolai,
Sounds like a corrupted render frame. You can dump that particular render and re-render.
Remember that the rendering process in the Adobe workflow is called “preview” for a reason, it’s just to check your edit only because you aren’t getting real time playback. The “preview render” is not used for the final export and that’s why its not showing the issue in the final export.
Cheers JB 🙂

Thanks Jon,
My playback settings did not match sequence settings. Thought it would do it automatically. I didn’t even think to look there, until I remembered that on the install only a few of the presets showed up. After I matched the settings it works perfectly! No stuttering, or ghost imprints!

Hi! after a lot of frustration and online research, I stumbled upon this thread. I’m experiencing the exact same problem. Every time I cut or move a clip, random frames from other clips keep popping up. I’ve found surprisingly little information and its driving me nuts. At first it appeared to be just a playback bug, and the error wasn’t visible on the exported media but lately its also happening to my exported files.
I’ve tried erasing the media cache files, reducing the playback to 1/2 but nothing seems to help. I’m a bit skeptical about deleting the render files because I’m not sure if that will harm my project which I’m still working on.
Could you please (please!) tell me what you meant exactly when you said your media and playback settings didn’t match and explain how you fixed it?? I realise your post is from 2012 but hopefully you can give me some guidance!

Its happening on many of my projects and many clips within the same projects, so I’m not sure if there’s some general mistake I’m making or if there’s something wrong with my render/playback/media settings that I’m overseeing. I haven’t changed the settings since I started using premiere and the problem never happened to me at first, it began a couple of months ago. I have the feeling that there should be a simple solution that could fix and prevent future errors but I can’t seem to pinpoint the problem.
Thanks for any help u could offer!

Hi there! Looks like these problems are continuing into 2016.
This isn’t a very in-depth answer by any means. I went to Sequence > Sequence settings and then checked “Maximum Render Quality.” That has solved the issue for me thus far. This might not work if your system does not have a ton of processing power. I will update you with any new info if something else comes up.
Hope that helped!
