Question

Footage is perfect in Premiere pro but when exported via PPro or AME, there's artifacts in frames

I've tried clearing the cache and rendering with OpenCL  - the only other render option. It fixes that glitch but makes another artifact elsewhere.

 

  • Intel Core i9-14900HX

  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060

  • 64GB DDR5 RAM

  • 1TB SSD

  • All latest Adobe/Win11Pro/and video drivers

 

 

Tried changing 25p/24/23.976 too. 
Rendering out h.264 high quality 1080p HD

Also tried Adaptive High Bitrate

Glad you got it working.

If you receive future footage that causes you issues - transcoding it to a known state is always worth it.

Attached a basic screen shot of Handbrake where I imported a 4K iPhone 15Pro Variable Frame rate Video and I am exporting showing Constant Frame rate selected 25fps, H264 encoder. Basically nothing else changed, pass thru audio, just selected NVidia Hardware Encode - or you could select Intel if you have an Intel iGPU

Software encode also available.

https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php

 

Shutter Encoder maybe a bit more comprehensive and I know some other users prefer that instead.

OK - now makes sense if Sumeet asked you to do that for problem tracking.

If you have time, try the Constant Frame rate test for one or two clips. Go back to NVidia Encoding Hardware enabled once Sumeet has completed the checks he requires, as I don't want to divert you from that.

Thanks for .txt file. That file I presume, is the original media you are editing?.

It is variable frame rate which can cause some issues occasionally.

If you are familar with Handbrake or Shutter Encoder you can re-encode your footage to Constant Frame rate.

Then as a test, replace one of your media files on your timeline with the Constant Frame rate version. Keep your edits of course.

Then try exporting that portion only of the timeline with in/out points as a short test

You should not need Max Render quality or Max depth ticked.

I noticed the bit rate of the original file is 2597KBs which is quite low. You would expect normally 8 - 10MBs for reasonable quality.

Try exporting with another preset such as You Tube or Vimeo HD.

Let us know how you get on.

By the way - why are you using Open CL and not CUDA renderer for an NVidia Card?. Open CL will work but CUDA is normal choice for NVidia.

Thanks - I'm guessing it was OpenCL only because of the tests I was doing for Sumeet above, where I was changing settings. 
These are now my current settings attached.
Otherwise if there is another setting I need to adjust to change OpenCL to OpenGL please let me know

Is your original footage Variable Frame Rate?.

Use MediaInfo tool to show characterisitics of your original media and post here (.txt version)

Looks to be 23.976, same as sequence in PPro

Try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. Do a clean installation of a Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver).

I had the latest studio driver, I just rolled back to the previous studio driver, still artifacting 😞
