Question

Random frames switch to a different color space

HELP PLEASE! I am experiencing a weird glitch/issue in which a few random frames switch color spaces (see video below for examples). It's usually only the first few frames of the sequence, but in the last shot in the video I attached, the color space switches/flickers on and off between multiple frames.

 

Some more info! I am working with DPX sequences exported from DaVinci Resolve. I started by making sure there were no missing frame numbers from the set provided, imported the DPX frames as a sequence, and made sure the sequence settings matched the source settings. This issue isn't just during playback but also shows even when exported as different formats, such as DPX sequences, H.264, ProRes, etc. 

 

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why? I appreciate it!

Probably it is related to GPU acceleration. Go to File > Project Settings. Under Video Rendering and Effects Tab select Mercury Software only. Also, go to Preferences > Import, and deactivate hardware acceleration decoding for video. Restart After Effects, Purge the cache and try again.
