  • Weird flashing in Premiere and exports. Need Help

    Posted by Juan Pablo Ramirez on July 14, 2022 at 10:16 pm

    Anytime I export in Premiere, it now has a weird flashing every few seconds. The video flashes to frames that are less saturated and less contrasty. I have tried exporting in different ways, adding or removing filters, saving the project onto another harddrive, recreating the project and nothing helps.

    Any suggestions? Below is an example of the problem:

    I also attached a still of the problem.

    Make sequence settings same as what you want to export (codec and resolution). Render the sequence in Premiere then on export, check the box to use preview renders. For me, this has stopped issues like yours. I believe when I have certain effects or too many layered that it cause such an issue.

    Thanks, Ricky. I’ll try that.

    Looks like that isn’t working. I’ll have to try something else.

    Hey Juan,

    Sounds like you have already tried everything.
    But I would try to see what happens, if you:
    1) Export file as progressive, in case you are interlaced out?
    2) Check whether you are using software or hardware render?

    Sometimes just switching the computer off for 1/2 hour can do magic – although that comes under the heading of doing a rain-dance etc, it has proven effective in the past…

    Good Luck!

    does this happen to the timeline or just the export? try removing adjustment layers, try software render, and try prores export. some h.264 accelerated encoding also may cause issues.

    (Assuming Premiere Pro v22.5)

    Rather than using “preview” for renders, make sure the preview setting for your sequence is something like ProRes 422HQ (assuming Mac).

    Render the sequence.

    Then make sure you don’t see the error when playing the sequence.

    Then export a Quicktime — Choose Quicktime as the format, then in the preset drop down choose “Match sequence preview settings”. (This is not the same as use previews for render!)

    Once exported (should be quick) bring the file into Media Encoder and then export to the file you need.

    I saw something similar recently with mxf files shot on a sony camera. The solution was to select the problematic clips in the bin, control click on the clips and choose: modify: interpret footage and choose color management: and choose color space override and choose rec709 (assuming it’s something different from rec709. There’s a complete explanation of what’s going on in the adobe premiere support forum. If anyone wants the link, post back and I’ll dig it up. The fix will correct the issue with clips and proxies already edited in to sequences… so it’s a pretty easy fix…
