Question

Repeated frames where black videos exist

I'm running into an issue with Premiere CC 2023. An edit I have has a few spots where there is no video present, so I placed Premiere's "black video" slugs there to fill the empty space. The problem is, when I export the video to a ProRes MOV file, those areas of black are being filled with repeated frames from subsequent shots in my timeline. So instead of black, I get a freeze frame of the surrounding shots instead. Anyone have this happen and possibly know why this is?

A few notes, I'm editing on a 2020 Macbook Pro with Monterey 12.7.6. Like I said, this is in CC 2023 (I haven't tried 2024 or 2025 yet, just fyi). I tried pre-rendering in Premiere and using previews to export. I've tried deleting previews and just exporting normally, still the same result. I did try taking the ProRes video that shows the repeated frames into DaVinci Resolve instead to test and it is working properly, so no repeated frames.

Not sure what the issue is, but would appreciate any insight.

Have you ever found a fix for this issue? I've been attempting to export a large file for roughly a week now, and keep having this occur. This is the only other post I can find that seems to be having the same issue.

No solutions available in Premiere as of yet. Resolve seems to be the only option currently 🙁

Yes, I did try clearing the media cache and that didn't work either. Next, I'll try to open the project in 2024 and then 2025 to see what happens.

@pvanhalen5150 The last thing if I may suggest is a simple go to tactic that you probably have already tried. I would give clearing your media cache a try. When you have time to update to a newer version or even the beta let us know if that helps solve the issue as well.

Thank you

I will try the newer versions at some point and see if that helps. 

The repeated frames are only showing up in Adobe products, so Premiere, Media Encoder, and I even tested it in After Effects. I exported my timeline from Premiere as a ProRes 422 LT that I would use to make Vimeo links for client review. That ProRes video would show those repeated frames each time I would encode it in Premiere, ME, and AE. And even when I take the MOV back into Premiere, it will show them when I preview in the Source window. But in my actual timeline that I used to cut the video, no repeated frames.

And yes, when I took that same MOV file into Resolve, the repeated frames were not there, and I even exported a Vimeo file from there, and it works just fine.

Unfortunately. I cannot share anything as it is a client video with NDA parameters.

Hi @pvanhalen5150 

Yes trying an updated version of Premiere Pro would be my first suggestion. Now that being said you mentioned bringing in the exported Quicktime to Resolve and it plays back fine. So you are only seeing this repeat frames in on the exported file and not the same thing in Resolve? Can you file share the exported file in questions so that we may take a look at it?

Thank you

Ian
