Why does a thin vertical pink or green line appear on the right side of my screen during my cross dissolves?
-
5 years after the original post and this is still an issue in Premiere CC 2014. I just exported a H.264 video at 480p and had the exact same problem with vertical pink, greed and red lines appearing during a cross dissolve.

Seeing it here too ~ CC2014

Oh wow Ryan, this has been going on for some 5+ yrs for you! I’ve recently ditched FCS for Premiere Pro CC v8 and experiencing exactly the same issues. Thankfully my pink vertical line [albeit in my case it’s more like 20% margin right side of frame] appears only at the end of my edit. So, not being a particularly technical type, I solved the problem by creating a blank [black] title card at the end of my edit and simply exported a couple of frames shy of the end blank card. Geez, I wonder why this happens though?!

Adding to the discussion: I am also running Premiere Pro (PR) CC 2014 and have had the same problem. The problem, for me, occurs with certain video clips in the sequence that fill their frames, and it occurs after every such clip in the sequence, not only at the end.
However, in my case the sequence settings were 480p (854×480). That was because my source material was only 480p, so I had set the sequence to 480p. However, 480p is not precisely 854×480. If you compare the ratio of 720p to 480p (1.5x difference), then 480p is actually 1280/1.5 = 853.33333333…x480.
So, I saved my PR project under a different name and just up and changed the sequence settings to HDV 720p. This action auto-expanded the frames for every clip, so I had to readjust the scaling of every clip to fit the new frame size. In most cases, I just selected “Scale to Frame Size” for each clip and they were put back visually to my original scaling–and fill the frame from edge to edge–so in the preview pane they look the same as before. For other clips, which had a low resolution and therefore were now too small for the larger frame, I had to resize them (i.e., up their scale) to look as they did before.
No more bars. Sure, the low-res images look more grainy (both inside PR and post-export), but the vertical colored bars–which used to appear at the right of most of my video clips as they faded out, via effects such as Cross Dissolve and Dip to Black–have gone away.
Perhaps there is something in Premiere Pro that does not like precise frame size proportions? In any case, using HDV 720p as the sequence setting seems to have solved the problem.
One other solution also worked: I simply changed the sequence settings to expand the frame size to 864×480 (from 854×480) and made no other adjustments. This also made the bars go away, by providing an extra 10 pixels onto every frame–simulating your blank title clip idea, but on a global level. (Anything less than 10 extra pixels did not solve the problem, that is, setting it in the range 854-863 left the problem there.) However, the video clips that had had the problem were also visibly shorter on the right side than some of the images which still filled their frames. This seems to make them jump out at you more than the full-frame lower-resolution clips in the 720p solution.

Ben, and others…
I had same issue. Just now I found if I render just the ‘cross dissolve’ section, the blue/green bars go away.
I will now save to mp4 after rendering first and see if that completely solves the problem.
It only seems to do it when there are multiple tracks present (one above the other)… tbc -
Just joined, this is my first post but I’ve been a regular “lurker” for years.
Ran across this thread when dealing with the exact issue, and disappointed to see it’s still an unresolved bug all these years later on Premiere Pro 9.2.
But a pretty quick and easy work-around is to not use the Cross Dissolve Effect, but instead use the Pen tool to do a manual fade down on the outgoing clip, followed by doing the same (but fade up) the incoming clip. Not as fast as the adding a cross dissolve, but seems a bit easier than nesting sequences, compound clips, or the other suggestions I’ve seen here (all of which are solid, just a bit more effort I think).

the cause of this is, I believe, discrepancy between the ‘sequence’, ‘preview’ and ‘export’ settings.
i have just started turning out IGTV videos which are 9:16 by rule. When setting up a suitable seq preset, in this case 1078 x 1920 the ‘preview’ setting automatically jumps to 607×1080 because the I-Frame codec used to make previews has a max height of 1080 (as it would having been designed in a pre iphone world ☺ )
The resultant ‘preview’ is NOT useful or operational for ( as a previous writer wrote somewhere) it does not divide by 8 !!
In order to fill the gap created PrPro adds the pink/green bars of doom !Solution in this case is to set all 9:16 video previews to 540×960 (1/2 of 1080×1920) The result is not great as a preview but it cannot go higher !
REMEMBER when exporting DO NOT TICK THE USE PREVIEWS BOX
The codec used to export is much better than the I-Frame preview one anyway
It’s only time !
Hope this helps -
I think the problem with 264/AVC encoder is caused by incompatible frame sizes.
Width and height in pixels should be multiples of 8 or 16.
I had the same issue recently with a video 1422×800 and it had a green bar on the right when I rendered it into a h264.mp4 file.
Problem is fixed when I rendered it again using one of the recommended frame sizes listed below.Recommended width and height for videos with 4:3 aspect ratios
