Question

Frame recursion substitution” with Sony BURANO X-OCN LT 4256 x 3192 PAR 2.0 clips

Premiere is struggling to interpret Sony Burano X-OCN LT PAR 2.0. I’ve read all the other issues that resulted from outdated Premiere versions, or Sony’s best practices for X-OCN LT. None of those resolve my issue. Any one experience this issue yet? Any suggestions? I can create proxies from Davinci if I need to but trying to avoid that workaround. Details below.
 

High Level

  • Premiere Pro 25.1.0 “Frame recursion substitution” error.
  • Audio renders
  • Export render blank videos with working audio
  • Media works in DaVinci Resolve, arguably not corrupted
  • VENICE II X-OCN anamorphic 2.0 clips also work correctly in Premiere in the same project

Camera specs

  • Camera: Sony BURANO
  • Codec: X-OCN LT
  • Frame size: 4256 x 3192
  • Pixel aspect ratio: 2.0
  • This appears to be a 4:3 anamorphic capture/desqueeze workflow:
    • 4256 / 3192 = 1.33
    • With PAR 2.0, displayed width would be 8512 x 3192, or approx. 2.67:1 before crop.

Media that works

  • Other Sony BURANO X-OCN LT clips in different project work fine but:
    • Dimensions are different 5760 x 3240
    • Pixel aspect ratio is 1.0
    • Not shot anamorphically

This seems like a possible Premiere Pro 25 Sony RAW/X-OCN decode or importer issue specific to:

  • Sony BURANO
  • X-OCN LT
  • 4256 x 3192
  • Pixel aspect ratio 2.0 / anamorphic mode

 

Troubleshooting I’ve already tried

  • Cleared Premiere media cache.
  • Created a brand-new Premiere project and imported only the problem footage.
  • Tried exporting from Premiere; export fails and creates only a 1-second blank file.
  • Checked dimensions: no odd-number dimensions; footage is 4256 x 3192.
  • Confirmed full camera card/media folder was copied over, not just partial files.
  • Tried Modify > Interpret Footage. Manually desqueezed in the sequence.
  • Confirmed the same media works in DaVinci Resolve, so the source media appears valid.
  • Compared against other working BURANO X-OCN LT files:
    • Working: 5760 x 3240, PAR 1.0
    • Failing: 4256 x 3192, PAR 2.0

Hi Kevin and Sumeet, 

 

Thanks for the messages! 

 

Two things: 

  • Updating to v25.6.5 fixed the issue!
  • Fergus from Adobe emailed me about this; I uploaded footage to them.

Sumeet, let me know if you want it as well. But could you provide me a link to upload it?

 

Thank you!

Jonathan
