Adjusting or reversing speed on Sony XAVC Long footage causes artifacts since 24.4 update

Since the 24.4 update I have all kinds of visual artifacts when I retime a Sony XAVC Long QFHD file and especially when reversing a clip when playing the files in Premiere. Before 24.4 this was never an issue.

 

For now I found a temporary workaround by using Render and Replace on the clips but would love to see this fixed A.S.A.P. (24.5 didn't fix the issue).

Thanks @Vrijegeest  for confirmation. Yes, this fix will be available in the next Release planned for the 24.6 Release. Please use the beta version for a workaround.

 

Thanks,

The beta fixes the artifacts I was seeing, so I hope this fix will be rolled out a.s.a.p. to the current release.

Hi @Vrijegeest ,

 

The fix is available in the latest 24.6 Beta Build, could you please check the behavior and share your feedback?

 

Thanks,

I made a screenrecording so you can see what happens during playback.

I missed this comment. I just tested it with another clip with the same issue and bringin it in 4k timeline gave the same issues.

It seems to fix the preview but unfortunately I lose realtime playback, so that might influence the result.

For testing purposes, could you please try disabling hardware accelerated decoding under Premiere Pro > Settings > Media and check if it fixes the preview?
Please note that you would need to restart Premiere Pro after disabling hardware accelerated decoding in Settings.

Thanks,

Thanks for confirming that. Is this happening specifically with Sony XAVC Long QFHD files, or is it happening with other media types as well? Also, does this happen if you use the media in a 4K sequence instead of a 1080p sequence?

This is with High-quality playback enabled. It's also not continiously that bad it pulses on and off every couple of frames.

The first is a still export from PPro the second is a screenshot from the Program Viewer.

Thanks for the details. Have you tried enabling High Quality Playback under Program Monitor settings (wrench icon in the Program Monitor) to check if it fixes the preview?
