Footage Glitch in both After Effects and Premiere

[mvallier]

I work for a video game developer and I am always having problems with footage glitching in both After Effects and Premiere. The source footage does not glitch at all.

In After Effects, some clips will glitch when I export or just pre-render.

In Premiere, it can sometimes glitches in the preview window and on the timeline.

In both cases, the workaround has been to replace footage with a different clip temporarily and the replace it again with the proper footage. This either fixes the issue or glitches then happen again in DIFFERENT spots. This is annoying but it works... BUT, now I have a project which has 12 clips on the same screen. 2-3 of them will glitch, so I do my workaround, but then others will then glitch and this keeps happening.

I uploaded a video on YouTube as an example. The following monsters glitch:

- Top Left (Towards the end of the video)
- Bottom Left (Shortly after appearing)

- 2nd row, 3rd monster in (Shortly after appearing)

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

THIS WORKS EVEN IN 2022!

For the updated version, Go to Edit > Preferences > Import> Video Footage [then uncheck the enable hardware accelerated decoding(requires restart)] + no need clear cache, it automatically resets

Unreal! 

After almost two weeks with black screen blip issues that seemed to come out of nowhere that I couldn't resolve, Google searches, buying more RAM, an SSD, following YouTube tutorials to optimize rendering and nearly giving up, I did one more search and found this! Thank you!

I'm 2 years late to this but you are a god. Thank you for saving me hours of pain and suffering.

Huh it made it worse on my end.... While I had only thin glitch lines, I now have big glitchy bands in the middle... Will check the checkbox back hoping that it comes back to only small glitches...

I don't know if anyone needs this, but I've just found a solution to a similar problem that I had so I want to share it here.
The problem was that videos recorded through the QuickTime player on the new macbook air m1 glitched in AE and the green screen\flicker also popped up for some reason. I didn't have such a problem with videos recorded on my old mac mini (I transfered some clips from the old mac mini to the macbook - it opened in AE and worked just fine). 

My solution: open the video file in QuickTime again, then click File -> Export as -> 1080p. Also when exporting the setting 'Smaller file size (HEVC)' should be selected. After that it should open and work in AE  without any problem!

upd. Instead of HEVC it's better to select H.264. The HEVC still was causing some glitches on some of the clips, H.264 - was not.

You just saved my life. You saved not only my life but my whole family, and the family members who haven't even been born yet. This problem has been stopping me from using AE properly for SO LONG. I feel like I've reached a new plane of existence.

I'm on the M1 MacBook Pro, and had the same issues.

Solution: Use Media Encoder to convert to another format first.

[Just_a_phase]

YES changing the decoding didnt solve my problem, but converting the format to H.264 in ME worked

thank u so much!

Your solution fixed my problem. THANK YOU
I am beginning to hate Apple though.
