P: Glitchy Video in Timeline

Turns out this is happening whenever I disable proxies. However this wasn't an issue literally a week ago for me when I was exporting as I never messed around with this feature. I really don't want to use my proxies in the final product so if there's a solution please help!

I tried reverting my drivers to an older version and that did not fix it either sadly. It's frustrating since these issues were not a thing for me a week ago with the same exact footage.

I'm having the same issues that many people have described in this thread, and I've been refreshing this page every day, alongside this thread since August to see if any new troubleshooting tips have worked (The latter of which has been marked as solved). Unfortunately, I am still running into issues!

I've been operating on Premiere V24.6.3 for the longest time, and have reluctantly updated to V25 in hopes that there are improvements to this issue.

The Problem:

.MXF files create glitchy timelines, and more importantly, glitchy exports - particularly when exporting from Media Encoder. The glitches tend to appear when there are cuts between 2 shots, but its hard to predict a pattern behaviour for when this might occur.

Here's what feels like the most stable workaround for now:

• Turn off H264/HEVC hardware acceleration in [Preferences > Media]
• Render out proxies for every asset - and never turn off the proxy toggle
• Once proxies are rendered out, delete all media cache files in [Preferences > Media Cache > Delete..]
• Again, never turn off the proxy toggle throughout the edit - if you do, delete all media cache files again!
• Export ONLY within Premiere's native exporter, never with Media Encoder

Obviously this is quite frustrating - particularly the fact that Media Encoder is innaccessible to my daily workflow! I deliver tonnes of social media clips each day, all in square, vert, portrait and landscape - and watching the same clip in all 4 formats to keep an eye out for glitches gets quite tiring.

Stuff I've tried that hasn't worked:

The timeline glitch is annoying, but manageble for now.

So here are things I've tried in order to mitigate the export problems when exporting from Media Encoder.

• Export with ProRes, H.264 or DNxHR MXF OP1a formats
• Toggling Media Encoder's Renderer from CUDA renderer to Software Renderer
• One forum post suggested to insert a black Matte in Track 1 of the timeline before exporting
• The issue occurs regardless of whether the timeline cuts from Track 1 to Track 2, or if it cuts from Track 1 to Track 1
• Enabling/Disabling the following sequence settings: [Max Bit Depth],[Max Render Quality],[Composite in Linear Color]
• Enabling/Disable the following export settings: [Use Max Render Quality],[[Render at Max Depth],[Use Previews]
• For the above, [Use Previews] was attempted with Previews rendered out in the timeline as ProRes 422 LT

That's all I have to share for now. Hopefully the workaround I listed above gets a few people out of hot water. But this is just a bandaid fix. I really need this problem resolved, so if there's anything more I can provide the Adobe staff, please let me know.

When the video is played normally on my computer it does NOT look pixely/distorted/gross. but when I replay it and/or export it on premiere it looks more like the screenshot. Can I get any help with this? I'll post how it looks normally

Hi @jamieclarke

Here is a link to the media file properties of the raw footage and of the exported video: https://f.io/LifNFgWQ

Let me know if this helps

mxf files sometimes get like in attached picture with all versions after 24.3, i tried on different computers, i'm really tired

This is still happening. Come on, Adobe. Are you kidding me? 

Adobe, is there something we as users can do to help the team solve this issue?
We all have companies and need this to be fixed asap. So if we can help... here we are...

I removed this post. Because my idea was not true. 
Glitches all over the FX6 footage still...
