Thank you for your feedback.

 

Frame substitution happens if Premiere Pro can not retreive a frame from a video source. This might happen e.g. if the file is damaged but can still be partially opened. In the case you posted Premiere Pro tries to replace broken frames with content from neighboring frames that decoded successfully - if this happens too often since all frames in a region are unavailable, Premiere Pro will give up and alert you about this condition as shown above.

Best regards,
