I switched the "video rendering and playback" to Mercury Playback Engine software only, like someone mentioned, and it worked!! YAY

I think that it can be GPU Render.I have this problem since I've updated to 14.2.0 (build 47).

I'm getting this all the time with UHD HEVC H.265 files. I have to transcode them to MP4 with Handbrake because no Adobe software will read the files.

I changed my sequence settings to DSLR and 23.976 frames/second and that fixed it for me!

Hello,

I'm also having this same issue. My issue is a bit odd in that its only happening to clips that are HDV captured by sony cams back in 2007-2012.  In those days the clips were captured in a 1440x1080 format and then using the proper pixel aspect ration expanded to fill the 1920 frame. Every version of premiere after 2016 gives these errors no matter what playback setting I choose. If however, I open the project in premiere 2014, the clips all play back beautifully with no errors whatsoever. I wonder if something was taken out of premiere for the 2016 release? This is most troubling to me because it makes me wonder if my current projects will become troublesome in the years ahead.

Anyone else see this particular issue with HDV clips using premiere?

 

Regards,

Rick

Hi Rick,

 

I'm very interested in your side by side testing as very few people still have access to CC 2014.

 

This "Frame Replacement Feature", which I hate, was added in 13.1.5 https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/whats-new/2019-1.html#frame-replacement

 

We've had terrible issues with it. Adobe says it was to remove the Red Frame that used to be displayed when frames were missing. I find it to be uselessly buggy, and it prevents the use of Premiere Pro as a QC application.

 

You're 100% sure that the same clip, when compared in CC 2014 and the latest version 2020, does not have red frames in 2014 but does have Frame Replacement errors in 2020?

 

If so, please let me know, and I can get you in touch with someone who I have been talking to at Adobe about this specifically.

I agree that this 'feature' ruins Premiere for any QC application. I'd be interested to know if you've gotten anywhere with your contact.

The description of this on the new feature list describes it as 'on by default', suggesting it should be able to be toggled off, although I can't find that option.

I have received notice that a preference for this will be added in version 14.1 which will be released around NAB.

Has anyone tried using 14 yet to see if this mess has been fixed?

For some people if you’re recording is in h.625 format you need to convert it to a format that is premiere pro supported. It’s a shame there is no clear instructions for this and it took a long time to find a solution. (Windows 10)

Hi Diane,

H.265 is a codec that is supported by Premiere, but you might be having trouble if the footage is shot on an iPhone with a Variable Frame Rate. If you're having trouble importing a specific file, it is always a good idea to try transcoding it with another application before you get in too deep with troubleshooting.

I have replicated this issue with XDCAMEX 35 exports from Premiere having dropped frames, and displaying the Frame Replacement error when being reimported.

I have also been tortured (along with Neofilm​) with the same damn error! None of the above fixed it. So i deleted all the video files from the HD and and copied over the originals again from the SD card (using Explorer!) Now all is well...

I believe the problem (rightly or wrongly) was caused by Windows Photos corrupting the files while copying them from SD Card to HD.

Hope this helps some poor soul.
