Don’t give up. I’m not the be all and end all of help here, by any means. Tero knows his stuff. And he’s right, the pictures look identical. Put up a short video of the effect you’re getting and put a link here. OK I’m outta here. My work is done 😉

Does it actually “flicker”? There is a plug in called Re:Vision DeFlicker that might help.
Go here and watch the demo video. It will probably show you whether it might help or not. I’m thinking maybe not since it’s not the video that has the banding, but what you’re doing with the video that’s causing it. Anyway, check out the demo vid if you want.

Sorry, Tero, I responded to you in the previous comment. Two humorous side notes, in the video above I also forgot to turn on the mic. In that case I had no audio so I played the clips and spoke the “dialog” (again, whatever popped into my head).
The other humorous sidenote; the last time I DID remember to turn on the mic, I forgot to turn it off. When I went to use it a few days later the batteries were dead. Such is life at B&N Studios 😉

Dave – I’ll bet you I DON’T! There’s a little green light on the back of the mic when it’s on, but I’m almost never behind the camera when I’m setting up, I’m in front looking into my swivel LCD and lining up my shots. I’ve forgotten many times before, I’m sure I’ll forget again.
Tero – This is my workflow. A vague idea pops into my head. I search Google for appropriate background images. I then create a sequence for each one. Usually, the next day, I set up my green screen, set up the camera, adjust wb and ISO if need be) with my lights on, hit “record” once I mark out my spots (in my head, mind you), get in front of the camera, THEN remember to hit record on the external audio recorder, and then literally make up the story as I go along. No script, no set ideas, whatever pops into my head, nothing written down.
Hence, I get masterpieces like this.

For me the glitches are part of the “charm” (assuming anyone other than my brother sees them), but not having an audio track to work with can be a bit of a pain. You could say lesson learned, but experience has shown me I never learn 😉
Thanks for the support, guys! -
Seriously, Tero? A clapper board? You’re talking to a guy who FORGETS TO TURN THE MIC ON!!! 😉
As for what codec I’m using for proxies, it’s a DNX SQ 720, so, come on, what’s the problem? I’ll tell you what the problem is, the sluggishness of the original 4K files doesn’t go away when you use the proxy, for me anyway.
What I ended up doing was creating a new project, brought in my videos and audio files, created a sequence for each video, and plopped the appropriate audio file. It scrubbed and played a LOT smoother. I synced up the audio, only took about a minute or so, then exported each sequence. It worked great but unfortunately I had to go out so I just chose the one code I knew would export sound AND video, h264. As I’ve told you before, Premiere Pro won’t encode DNxHD so I didn’t want to chance that, plus it doesn’t export audio.
Anyway, problem solved in a way most of you would be horrified to do, although I think Dave pretty much pegged what I ended up doing.

I brought this up long ago. It’s youtube. It actually started after I upgraded to 2015 from cc 2014 so I thought it was a bug in Premiere Pro, but it’s youtube. Just ignore it. I’ve put up test videos for my own private usage which consisted of one scene with original audio, impossible to be out of sync, and I still get that message.

Thanks, I aim for silly 😉
My question of course has nothing to do with my green screen stuff. I’m trying to do some real life stuff soon and I wanted some advice, which all of you have given me in abundance. Thanks again!

Sorry Dave, I meant Audition. So you’re saying to export the audio first, then import into Audition rather than use the import option inside Premiere Pro. I’ll give it a shot. Never had to do it that way before, though.

Dave, I remember at one time I could sample a silent segment of an audio clip so that I’m only sampling the noise, and then apply the filter to the entire clip, but now (and not just the latest Prelude but the previous version which used to work fine) if I apply to the entire clip it hardly cleans the noise at all. It will only do a great job if I apply it to the segment that I sampled. I know there are two ways of cleaning noise, but neither of them are working like it used to. I tried the step by step instructions someone gave here a few months ago (you, possibly) but I still got the same result.
Any new advice you can give me? None of the youtube tutorials clean the whole track. It’s either just the sampled segment, or a bad job on the entire track.

You guys have no idea how helpful you’ve been. Thanks! btw, Richard, I misread your last sentence in your previous comment. I thought you were restating what you thought was my question, so I said “wrong”. I realize now you were answering my question so I hope you didn’t think I was being a jerk.
The people in Premiere Pro forum know me and what I do. Here’s a sample of the type of stuff I do so you understand where I’m coming from when I say I’m an amateur. You don’t have to watch the whole thing, obviously. The first few seconds should suffice 😉
