Really strange error in Premiere CC?
OK, this is really odd…. Working in Premiere CC on a basic green screen video (using ultra key and the 8-point garbage mat. The video plays back on the timeline dandy (on both the computer monitor as well as an HD monitor via Kona Lhi). However, when I export (either directly from within Premiere or set-up a que for Media Encoder) the “talent layer” is sliced up – see images:
So that’s odd enough… but here’s where it gets really strange. It only appears to do this when using the YouTube 480p widescreen preset. Every other preset seems fine. Never mind, that I’ve used the 480p preset a gazillion times (including about 30 minutes before this episode) with issues.
I don’t show it in the images, but the problem appears to be on the output only. If I were to change to the input screen on encoder (upper left corner), the image is dandy.
What I’ve done so far (in this order) to remedy:
- Save and re-open the project;
- Gone back to a previous “autosaved” version of the project;
- Close & Re-Open Premeire CC
- Restart the computer
- Trashed Premiere CC prefs
- R
e-Set P-Ram on computer
My system: (MacPro 4,1 Quad-Core Xeon, 16G Ram, OS 10.8.4, Nvidia GeForce GTX 680)
My work around to deliver a draft to my client was to use the YouTube 720p preset and resize to match the earlier 480p drafts. So this isn’t keeping me from getting things done – it’s just really strange!
Anybody else see something like this?
thanks,

Can’t say I’ve come across this.
– Check and see if this happens with other types of exports but of the same video frame size.
– Try turning off CUDA GPU acceleration for the project and see if you get the same issue. This is usually a sign that something is weird with your GPU drivers and things may need to be rolled back a version or two.

The only thing I can suggest is to make one change to the YouTube preset you really want to use, making it become a “custom” preset and see if that changes anything. Something as simple as changing the video compression quality by one tick.
Does it do the same thing with the Vimeo 360 preset?

Thanks Walter!
Vimeo (and everything else!) seems fine. It’s just that one 480p YouTube preset. And you’re right, I simply used the 720 preset and modified the settings to be equal to the 480 setting and it worked fine. Really odd!!
As for customs… I agree. I’ve been “threatening” to set aside some time to create a group of pre-sets for all my typical outputs and setting up watch folders. Now, if I could only get 28 hours out of each day…. hmmmm….
