Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Green flashing in imported clips

  • Green flashing in imported clips

    I’m new to Premiere so I’m not sure what to do about this issue.

    I have several avi’s I’m trying to edit together for a project but when I import them into Premiere they have random frames of solid green that creates a flashing effect. These errors show up in the source frame before I drag it to the timeline and do any rendering.

    Outside of Premiere they playback without error in every player I have access to and I used the bad frame finder tool in virtualdub which showed the entire clip as good.

    The only thing I can think of is that Premiere is having an issue with the Cineform codec used to encode the source videos.

    ETA: I’m using CS6

    I had the same issue working with 7D footage on previous versions of Premiere, but really is just while you are editing because as you said there will be no problem after you export your edit.
    You could try a different codec, and also try installing a codec pack (K-Lite has always worked fine for me).

    Also try to use your original files if possible, maybe that could help.

    After doing some more digging apparently my issue is that there is no Cineform plugin for CS6.

    The work around seems to be copying the Cineform plugins from CS5 into CS6’s plugins folder but not having CS5 I’m unable to do so.

    I got CS5.5 on Mac. Tell me the exact name of the plugging and I can email it to you.

    Free up the memory where all your Cache files are getting saved………

    or if u want to change the location then goto

    EDIT-preferences:

    1.switch off the auto save feature
    2.select scratch disks and change the locations

    once this is done then switch off the software and shut down the PC and retart the pc as well as the software and reimport the FILE u will not get the green flashing video this time
