Sounds like you have a framerate mismatch. The 1080p24 setting in Premiere Pro is 23.976 and you’re exporting in straight 24p. My guess is Premiere is conforming your 24p footage to 23.976p then conforming it back to 24p so you’re getting a little bit of frame blending artifacts.
Create a new sequence, make sure its straight 24p, select all the clips on the old timeline and paste them into the new one. You may have to eyeball the edit for any slight frame gaps, but you should be okay.

“Red” as in your video file becomes unlinked and you see “Media Missing” in your Program window or “Red” like you need to press enter to render your timeline?

Hm, metadata isn’t my strongpoint, but try exporting/rendering your file with the metadata set to a sidecar file, backup the resulting .xmp file that will be created, render your video again with the music bed then overwrite its .xmp file with the one that has the text analysis. It’s the layman’s answer but it may work for you.

I tend not to use proxy workflows anymore, but when I was doing them with Premiere, instead of starting with a larger timeline and having the smaller proxy clip in it, I was doing a variation where I would use proxy-sized timelines, then create the master-sized timelines and copy/paste the sequence from one to the other then relink the files. Half a dozen in one hand, six in the other– I don’t believe there is a better/faster way of doing it.

I hope this doesn’t sound like a dummy answer, but have you tried setting unnumbered clip markers at the timecodes specified? They won’t shift when you’re doing slip edits like sequence markers will.

Can you describe your sequence settings in detail in Premiere?
Are you dynamic linking from Premiere to Encore, or are you rendering a file and using that in Encore? If you’re rendering a file, what are the exact settings you’re using?
Can you describe what “fickering edges” means to you? Do you see sharp horizontal scanlines? or…?
Without knowing too much, it sounds like you may have reversed the field order of your interlaced material. DVDs and Standard Def PAL are lower field, while an HD (60i or 50i) timeline has the default settings of upper field. May need to paste your cuts into a new sequence set to lower field dominance or double check that any PAL based video is also being interpreted as lower field (right click the file in the project bin, Modify >Interpret Footage)

If you right-click the retimed footage (23.97fps) and unselect frame blend it MIGHT turn the timeline to yellow and avoid render. It’ll drop retime instead of blend retime.
If you need to pull just video from the source window, under the source vide itslf, you will see a film strip and a speaker, drag the filmstrip to the timeline and it’ll just drop in the video.
Cheers,

In the blink of an Eye by Walter Murch for editing.
The Filmmaker’s Handbook by Steven Ascher and Edward Pincus… basically film school in a book. If you need a hefty foundational read, almost nothing I’ve found is better and they keep it very up to date. -
It’s a bit science and a bit art. I also suggest running talking voices at -6 (usually with some soft compression like 2.5:1 to even out the peaks) because if you add foley or background music, it’ll have enough headroom so the meters don’t peak at 0db (remember waves add together and amplify, so that’s why low background music will still raise the db level). It’s a pretty decent rule of thumb for dialog scenes and interviews, but it’s open to interpretation.
Of course, you should always record as hot (loud) as possible and then mix down to whatever volume you’re using, since this will increase the signal to noise ratio and result in a cleaner recording.

As to why it does this in the first place… I dunno. I do know how to fix it though.
Your audio clip cannot be used in a timeline yet. In your project bin, right click it and select Modify > Audio Channels. You can then select from (what it’s probably chosen as now) Mono, which will split it into two mono tracks, to stereo which will give left and right a combined stereo track
