Video Lags & Flickers Green Frames after Rendering?

[contacts]

Basically what the title says....
I've looked everywhere and it's so damn hard to find anything because of those who use green screening with AE.
Anyways... My issue is that I just put 8 hours into AE working on a project that is currently rendered useless at this point.
Wasted 17gigs & about 3-4 hours of my life searching the internet for no answer...
I'm just trying to get this issue resolved without having to redo my work... because I probably wont.

Basically. while rendering the video I noticed the preview was flickering green frames... Something it wasn't doing as I was editing the video itself & playing back through the preview.. but it seemed good after a few seconds passed by... all was good so I left it alone.
About an hour & a half goes by... video is finished rendering. Jokes..
I go to replay what I assumed would be a final product but wasn't anything beside 2 seconds of black screen, so green flickering upon the screen & the video being incredibly laggy.

I've had this issue for the longest time and nothing has seemed to help.

I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling... nothing.
Tried clearing ssd space... nothing.
Everything I try just doesn't work.
I've been on the hunt for this issue. I've seen other forums and their answers didn't help those who were asking & didn't help me either...
So I need to know how to fix this.. Was really looking forward to using AE for my channel again..
So please, I need someone to tell me that I'm doing something very slight so I can feel excited about using something I haven't touched since call of duty was a thing.

what format are you rendering?

how long is your Ae Composition? and Hour and a half is not that long for Ae. it depends on the resolution, effects and a few other things.

I haven't touched since call of duty was a thing.

so my guess is you have recorded your gaming using a recording software which most if not all record at VFR - Variable Frame Rate. in the latest edition of Ae/Pr there is an attempt to fix VFR issues by using a setting to preserve the audio sync. right click on the footage in your project window, interpret footage-> main. go to more option and see if you can change it to "smooth motion"

I wrote "an attempt" because I have been experiencing greed/red frames on my previews and this fixed that. see if that fixes the issue for you.

if that does not work, you should try transcoding your footage - drag your footage to AME and try to render a format like Quicktime Animation or Cineform gopro and see if that fixes the green frames issue. warning: the file sizes will be large.
