After Rendering there are random green frames

I noticed this only happens after I add effects. I have no third party plugins or anything and in preview I don't see the green flashes. I tried switching the rendering option to "Mercury playback software only" but that didn't help. I also can't turn off my gpu accelerator. I tried restarting and everything! Please help. Here is an example

Zippyshare.com - test123476_1.mp4

I freez framed it and found exactly what the green "flash" looks like

Correct answer R Neil Haugen

I have tried all of the effects and these are the results

Zoom: no glitch

Twist:glitch

Puppet: slight glitch

Audio Reverb: no glitch

Blend: no glitch

I have noticed that all of the glitches are from effects coming from after effects. (I have been using the sync feature)


So the bugaboos are Twist and Puppet. Ok, that's good to know.

One way of handling working with Ae that many editors I know prefer ... they work with a comp in Ae and dynamic-linked to PrPro only so long as it takes to be sure the comp is in a 'final' state. As soon as they hit that, they render that clip/comp out of Ae to a 'full media' clip, and replace the original clip on the sequence with that exported clip so they don't have to use the dynamic linked comp any further.

You can always go back to Ae and do further work, and another export/replace. But it gets better playback and fewer glitches this way.

An idea ... just to be practical. And get the job done.

You can try this:

Go to Edit> Preferences> Media and remove the checkbox before the item: enable Intel h.264 decoding (requires restart), o (12.1.2) Enable hardware accelerated decoding.
