  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 Red Screen Glitch With MOV Files

    Posted by Matthew Castro on July 24, 2011 at 7:29 pm

    Hey Editors On The Cow!

    I’m having trouble and was wondering if you guys can help me out.

    I have some files from Final Cut Pro’s h.264 MOV files, and some .MP4 files from a client that wants me to place the two together and give them a master MOV file.

    So I’m using Premiere Pro to place them both onto the timeline for export, but the MOV files are giving me a red pixelation error, and I cannot understand why it’s happening.

    Here is what it looks like 2665_error.jpg.zip

    I’ve tried using different sequence settings, and even used a matched setting, but all it does is just moves the red screen around to a different spot.

    I’ll try re-exporting the original file again to see if it solves anything, but this has happened multiple times. Does anyone know a solution or is there something that I’m just overlooking?

    This is probably just a program error, so I don’t think my comp specs will help, but here it is anyway:

    Mac Pro running Mac OS X
    2×3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Zeon
    20GB 800 MHz DDR2

    And of course, program and files are on separate hard drives, etc.

    Have you tried to clean the cache from the Preferences? Then allow the indexing, conforming etc to finish before working? It looks like a dropped frame from HDV capture. usually a recapture of that section will correct this, but it sounds like you are working with a file that already exists. This could be problematic.

    What is your process here…?

    Is it appearing after you render out or in the original media?

    The footage is from a Sony XDCAM EX, so it’s not captured from tape.

    It’s an already exported piece of footage that they want me to combine with another piece of footage. And when I drop the two videos onto the timeline, I scrub through the media and find these red pixelations.

    I’ve already tried placing the footage they gave me into Final Cut Pro, and exporting another copy, but I still get the same problem, only the red pixelation shows up at another time frame.

    This should be incredibly easy…but this glitch is making it extremely difficult.
