Question

Mask isn't working. It flickers after I render.

Premeire hates me. I know it. 

 

I have this scene where I need to mask out a laptop. Easy enough - I have the footage without the laptop on the layer above and I created a mask. After rendering it - the mask flickers like crazy, on and off, on and off. I've tried video footage as the mask, as well as a still photo and I have similar issues.

 

Can someone please help before I throw this computer out my office window? Thanks in advance!

    Premiere Pro: 22.2.0
     
    iMac
    Processor: 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core
    Memory: 32 GB DDR3
    GPU: NVDA GeForce GT 755M 1GB

    I will look into Mercury Playback Engine Software. 
    The video does not export properly and looks just like the render inside the program. In fact, the video I shared was an export.

    I have the same Problem. 
    Premiere Pro 25.1 latest version. 

    Video3: I use feathering on the Mask and Postitioning (keyframed), Maskexpansion (Keyframed)
    Video2: Mask and feathering
    Video1: Solid Color

    After Export or "Render from in to outpoints" The Video 3 Flickers. it produces transparent frames in the area where the keyframes are. Clips are all in the framerate of the timeline. I experienced this in older versions too. 

    Need Help or an Update with bug fix.

    The mask even starts to flicker in the preview window, when I move the slider of the maskexpansion above value 536.

    Hi there,

     

    We're sorry about this. Please let us know the version of Premiere Pro that you are using & the system specs. Also, have you tried switching the Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only & checked if it's exporting properly?

     

    Thanks,

    Sumeet

      I tried Mercury Playback Engine Software Only and still had the same glitch.
