Hello,

I've had this issue ocassionally rear its ugly head again and again for at least a year and wondering if it's corrupted VRAM on my graphics card or something bad like that?

Please let me know if you have any ideas what it could be!

Also, this footage stutters inside Premiere, jumping back and forward frames every second in a time glitch. But plays fine in Windows in all the media players I've tried.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the post. Has the footage worked OK in the past? If not, or you don't know, can you try transcoding the clip in Handbrake or Shutter Encoder? What happens if you do? Let us know.


    Thanks,

    Kevin
