Thank you for that information, Ann…. I will print out that information for future reference…. Sad to hear enough people have had this that a procedure had to be posted…..

Looking at the link…. Not knowing that step by step procedure existed…. I closed then Re-Opened PPRO (Still claiming to be in demo mode), and then went to area where you enter your license codes…. PPRO and other CS6 Master Programs then reverted to their normal full modes of operation….

As I said, the hardest thing was to find the license codes… Haven’t needed them for what 4 or so years?

If the beta group still exists, say “Hi” to them for me….

I had a simelar experience with a legal/licensed CS6 Master Suite via PPRO a month or so ago….
I re-entered the License Codes, and all nags went away….. But it took me an hour to find the license Codes!

I did encounter this during Beta of CS5, but No one else could duplicate it.
I did find that exchanging the offending clip with another fixed it.
I did find that once I found a ‘disturbance’ in the image, that I’m suspecting to be High FQ Timebase error in the footage (the videotape was TBC’d or Framesynced)
I then found that the source footage, if transferred via TBC or FS again had the SAME PROBLEM..
So the problem had to do with the source footage itself….

Now, it’s interesting to note that the IMAGE that Encore Used was from the same session, but NO-WHERE-NEAR the footage with the Timebase error…

Premiere didn’t complain about this footage, Only Encore, and Only after Transcode. Prior to transcode, it played fine on the monitor!

Now because I didn’t have a 2nd take to fall back on, once I found where the problem was in the footage…. I had to come up with a Plan B…

The footage in question was a Mime shot in silhouette… The background was a dark blue.
So I used a custom Wipe pattern to cut between this footage and color background, and by cutting out and replacing the bad footage with color background…. The problem was fixed in Premiere, which, due to Dynamic Link to Encore, was flagged with new footage next time I opened Encore, and the problem was then fixed…..

Now this did bring up a feature that I promptly posted to the Beta Site…. The need for a Color Picker in Background color, which would have made the selection of the exact color in the video footage simple…. but didn’t exist yet…. and never made it into CS6 either….
My Last Beta Participation was CS6, because I don’t believe in CLOUD, and I was dead set against Dynamic Link to Encore being removed… (Because Encore was eliminated Past CS6)… but that’s a story for another time…..

I guarantee you that you will find a disturbance in the source footage that Premiere will not object to, but Will cause random incorrect frames to occur in Encore after a trans-code…

Look for a timebase error in the source footage a frame or so before where you see wrong frame in the DVD.
(Go back to Premiere to look at it…
Once you find the frame with the error… Your options are:
Use a different take if one is available…. OR…
MASK it with a partial frame that does not have the timebase error in it…
Make sure you replace both top an botoom of picture (In other words, on either side of the vertical interval…

I encountered this a couple of times… Even with a TBC’d video..

Years ago, maybe 2004 or so, at a MAC Factory Demonstration, I pointed this out to them in the middle of their demo, in front of ABC folks with me, and of course, the MAC Factory folks indicated that they never heard of that before!!!
Accompanying me that day were multiple screen captures of Waveform and Vector displays, showing the error in all it’s glory!

They (Mac Folk), in front of the ABC management people behind me, took my ABC email address, and multiple copies of the documentation I provided….

And Guss what????

We (I or ABC) never heard from them again—except once 6 months later when I contacted them asking what the status of a patch for this issue….. And was told “It’s still in the works”…
Next time I email’d them, all the email addresses bounced.

I retired from ABC at the end of June of 2015, and I NEVER received an answer or patch…

That was the first thing I thought. But the black playback was on same computer that rendered it.

As Luck would have it, first she, then I was un-available to sit at her laptop to see if firsthand…

She found out by reducing the bandwidth slider it then rendered correctly and not black…

I’m hoping to meet with her in a week or so….
