Some of my footage in the source and program file is corrupted and looks static when played.

I've tried deleting all media cache, made sure than my video rendering settings are Mercury Playback engine GPS acceleration and also deleting and reimporting the footage.

For the footage I have also used VLC to convert into mp4.

ASUS zenbook 14

Intel 9

Integrated arc graphics card

    I agree with ​@R Neil Haugen.

    Use SutterEncoder or Handbrake.

    What is the original media, and … why did you conert to mp4/long-GOP? Was it VFR, variable frame rate, and you tried to convert to CFR, constant frame rate? If so, I think that would need ShutterEncoder or Handbrake to actually convert properly to CFR.

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...
