Question

Premiere Pro Export Glitched Frames on M1

Hello,

 

We just recently got 2 new m1 macbooks for video eiting and are having a problem where frames have glitches in them while ecporting. Have tried both harware and software encoding while exporting from both premiere directly as well as media encoder. Have also tried different formats for exporting, H.264, Quicktime, etc, and the problem seems to occur no matter what settings we choose. Initially I thought this was a computer specific problem however it is happening to both of our brand new M1 Macbooks.

 

It's usually a 1 frame long glitch that scales/repositions a small portion of the video

It occurs at different points in each export

 

Any ideas to fix?

I've attached samples, AME glitch happens at 0:21; PPHW at 0:06, 0:15 and 0:22; and PPSW happens at 0:10

I've had similar issues to this, I've noticed glitches in exports but currently having huge issues with exporting a cinemagraph. Working fine exporting as a gif but no luck exporting as h264 or any other format. 

Has Adobe been looking into this?

Same problem here. The workaround helps. Opening the Intel version.

When is the bug fixed for the M1 version?

 

I'm now forced to work in a version that is not optimised for my M1 Max.

Wich is very disapointing.

I'm having the same issue here. Glitched frames on Mac Mini with Premiere Pro 22 and 21 (I have tried the downgrade trick but still not working).  It happens when exporting H264, Mxop1a, proress, everything...

I'm loosing money and my clients starts to be impatients.

Any solution yet?

Hi!
Open the Intel Version using Creative Cloud app 🙂
It's working for me !

Chiming in to say that I've experienced this issue, too. I upgraded from a Macbook Pro to an M1 during the course of producing a video, and all issues with export-related glitches appeared after making the switch. Editing off a hard-drive, if that matters.

Using this thread, I tried a ridiculous amount of export setting adjustments, timeline workarounds, version-switching (updates, downgrades, beta, etc.), and FINALLY resolved my problems using these steps:

 

* Exporting directly from Premiere Pro Beta (NOT queueing in Media Encoder), using H.264 and Hardware Encoding.

* Eliminating all Dynamic Link assets (I had to export them individually from AE - even after downloading AE Beta - and pull mov files into Premiere).

* Eliminating all Frame Hold Segments (I had to replace them with screenshots - which feels unprofessional IMO, but I was getting desperate).

 

After all of those workarounds and adjustments, I think my final export is glitch-free. Thanks, all, for your contributions to this thread. Hopefully Adobe resolves this issue ASAP, and maybe this post can help in the meantime.

What a headache! I'm glad you we're able to get a clean export. But this just goes to show the absolutely crazy lengths one must go to (not to mention the time troubleshooting!) just to get Premiere to sort of work on the new M1 chips.

 

Apple and Adobe should be ashamed of themselves for not CLEARLY STATING that Premiere is NO WHERE NEAR ready for professional work on the M1 chips.

 

I have since resumed work on my Legion Pro which performs flawlessly 🙂

Hope that it will be fixed soon. My work around is to open Premiere via the creative cloud app and open the Intel version. It's troublesome and some thime you dont't remember what version you are in but at lkeast you can have a glitch free export.

Thank you !! Looks like it's working for me. 🙂

I've open the app info in the finder and check the "Open with rosetta" and looks like the Intel version works fine without any export glitches.

 

This will do the job until Adobe fix the problem

Hi all,

 

Just want to report that I've been having this same issue on every variant of m1. Tried with FCPX and I can definitely conclude that it is an m1 chip issue.

 

My workaround initially was to export to prores then convert to h264. My final solution was just to switch over to windows till m2 comes out and see if the issue still stands.

Would like to add on that the glitch happens in Davinci Resolve as well. (Not the studio version though)

Just adding to the chorus of people having a problem with M1 and Premiere. 

 

Macbook M1 Max

Premiere 22.1.1

 

This is happening on frames with basic motion graphic templates, text graphics, and sometimes just regulalr clips. We get quick repeat frames, and other random glitches. Have tried CBR, VBR, ProRes, all contain glitches. Also tried exporting through Premiere and Media Encoder.

 

An NLE isn't very useful if it can't export.

I've figured this out. The issue is frame holds on M1s.

What a disaster of a bug. Please vote. https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro/suggestions/43876713-export-issue-when-you-add-frame-hold-for-a-graphic

Wow, thank you! This has been bugging me for months. I'm trying to remember if all of my glitched exports had frame holds, because that's something I do use frequently.

Maybe this can help someone....

I had the same issue with this :

MacBook Pro 13" 16Gb 1T
Premiere Pro V22.0
Files on a Samsung T7 SSD 500Gb
---
Timeline at 24 FPS
Footage from 3 different cameras:
Gopro Hero Black5 4k 25 fps FlatProfile
Sony A7ii 1080p 25 fps Slog2Gammut
Lumix G5 4k 24fps SemiLog
Lumix 4k 24fps SemiLog
Ai, Ae and Ps files directly on the timeline
up to 3 ajustment layers on each camera
Logos Png and jpg

Exporting with the Pr LUT for saturating back


I tried all the configurations possible, also exporting with intel version with roseta and i had always the same problems, random Glitch and horizontal lines like blinds, jumping frames ecc.....

SOLUTUON:

Open a new project, copy all your files first, then in a new timeline copy and paste from one project to the other one and export. If you do it correctly it will take you 5 min as you do just one copy and paste from one timeline to the other

HYPOTHESIS:
I was exporting a "Copy of....." so my project crashed in some point of my workflow and had to close and make an automatic copy to continue working with, so probably one of the recovery files was corrupted and that's the reason for the glitches.

Same issue. New 2021 Macbook Pro 16" with M1 Max and Premiere 2021 and 2022. Glitches are happening on exports with any kind of effect, but mostly with optical flow speed changes. Lots of skipped frames and just general weirdness. I've tried reinstalling, restarting, turning hardware acceleration on and off, clearing cache, etc. All the stuff. 

 

It's not an option for me to transcode - it's a waste of time and shouldn't at all be necessary. The hardware and software are designed to work with all kinds of media, so any issues they are having are bugs and should be fixed, not worked around.

 

I switched to Windows two years ago because of these issues on Mac, and hoped they had sorted all these render issues out, but it appears they haven't. I have two Windows computers which never have these issues, so it's definitely a Mac only thing.

 

Too bad because the new Apple hardware is amazing, but if it's still going to be unreliable, it doesn't matter. Wasting hours trying to diagnose silly basic problems is such a horrible way to spend your time. 

 

My recommendation for anyone dealing with constant Premiere problems on Mac is to try out a Windows machine. They are cheaper, more powerful, and can be optimized specifically for Premiere. 

 

Hopefully Apple and Adobe can figure out these problems eventually..and permanently.

It seems that the fix for now is to roll back to 15.2. All newer versions of Premiere have this glitch issue in the renderer.

Hi,

having same problem. Exporting MXF Op1a XDCAMHD 50i to the TV.

It appears in different places with each export. Also the end creadits (roll) is jumping and looks like progresive.
This is very stressful, the production wants to burden me with the costs of not having a file on time.

It's happening as well on the PP 15 and 22. on M1 mac mini.
