XDCAM footage not linking

[Mitch Jordan]

Yes, that’s what I’m seeing as well. It caught me off guard because I didn’t have any trouble with CS6. I also see some corrupted frames about halfway in the clip, but the rest will play ok. I submitted a bug alert as well. I’m also having trouble getting my CS6 app to work, but that’s another thread! Thanks for your help!

I work with XDCAM EX footage and I am getting glitches on most of my footage on Premiere Pro CC. None of the footage had problems in CS6. This is a bug on CC affecting XDCAM and XDCAM EX footage.
Most clips play with artifacts / glitches on the few first frames of playback. Then audi goes out of sync. Some times I get a green screen instead of footage. In the browser some clips show thumbnails with the glitch and some show green.
I will do a clean reinstall of everything and will report if that solves the problems.

I’d be interested to see if you find a solution. We’re experiencing the same behavior with green clips and everything. We also have multiple Macs, and everyone is doing the same thing. Really appears to be a bug in the CC version.

Before doing a clean reinstall I tried just reinstalling Premiere Pro CS6. So now I have both Premiere Pro CC and CS6.
CS6 works fine with XDCAM EX footage but CC still shows the glitches and green frames/screens.

If you are in a rush and need to finish a project before doing a clean install, you can re install CS6 following these steps:

Open creative cloud manager.
Go to apps then click more information below Premiere Pro CC.
In your browser you will see a page with info about Premiere CC.
Under “This Version” there is a pull down menu where you can choose CC or CS6.
Choose CS6 and now the download button says “Download Adobe Premiere CS6”

I will now do a clean install of everything and will report again.

Davinci Resolve wouldn’t accept XDCAM wrapped in .mp4, so I rewrapped them to .mov using FFmpeg. That worked fine on a Mac, but the Quicktime decoder for Windows doesn’t support XDCAM and therefore, neither does Adobe CC.

So re-wrapping to .mov is not recommended if you travel between PC/Mac on projects. I guess the only simple thing to do is to ingest via Adobe Prelude (a great tool, btw) and transcode to DNxHD Quicktimes which are supported everywhere. If an edit has been started, then you need to relink all to the newly transcoded files. A hassle, but there is no other way to get PC, Mac, Adobe and Resolve to play nice together with XDCAM.
