Does the problem happen with every .mxf, or just this one?

[Souvik Halder]

Problem with every .mxf File

[Bruce Bullis]

Strange. 

You say every .mxf file; do you mean every .mxf file from that same source, or does the same thing occur when using a new .mxf file, that PPro (or AME) have rendered? 

Did previous versions of PPro not encounter any problems, with the same .mxf files?

[Souvik Halder]

I have used past 6month this project and same file format (mxf) no problem.
Problem start when working yesterday.

[Bruce Bullis]

>I have used past 6month this project and same file format (mxf) no problem.

It's good that you've used the same file format for the past six months...have you been using this same file, during that same time? 

>Problem start when working yesterday.

Ok, what changed about your system, yesterday? 

Can you provide an example file? I sent you a link to some private upload space.

I had a bunch of those in a project I just finished. Ran chkdsk on my array and it found errors.  I deleted the file, ran repair, then re-uploaded the file from the chip. Worked fine.

Has me worried about my 5-drive array that's 4 years old, though. Want to switch to M.2 but too expensive for now.

I Don't change anything, problem start in autometicaly

[Souvik Halder]

Same file same project i used my 2nd windows computer no problem. Problem with Mac M2

Ok

Something must have changed, or you would have always had this problem. 🙂

I can't get the file you provided to misbehave.

Can you provide a project containing a sequence that references this media, as well as the output preset (.epr file) in use when you do encounter errors, using this media? 

[Souvik Halder]

Please check Now..

[Bruce Bullis]

Got the .epr file, thanks!

In other "good" news, I got the .mxf to start encountering frame substitution recursion...

Do other .mxf files, created using the same workflow as this one, also exhibit the same behavior?

[Souvik Halder]

Yes 

[Souvik Halder]

I have uninstall premiere pro then Reinstall But same problem

[Bruce Bullis]

Cool!

Could you provide all available details about how these problematic .mxf files are being created? 

[Souvik Halder]

Camera - Canon XA70

Format - XF-AVC

1920*1080 / 50fps

shutter speed - 1/60

Bit rate - 45mbps

[Bruce Bullis]

Confirming: Every single piece of media that matches that description worked fine in previous versions of PPro, but now all display similar behavior?

Do you import the media directly from a camera card structure, or do you move the .mxf files to other directory structure(s), first?

Do you use PPro's Media Browser to import the media?

[Souvik Halder]

> Do you import the media directly from a camera card structure, or do you move the .mxf files to other directory structure(s), first?

First Card copy in my External SSD then SSD to import my project.

> Do you use PPro's Media Browser to import the media?

No. I just drag and drop

[Bruce Bullis]

Thanks for the detail! 

It may not make any difference, but Media Browser supports additional metadata from card-based file structures (when available), including spanning clips (>4gb). Drag-n-drop import misses that information (which means it's not likely to be involved).

[Souvik Halder]

So you tell me what to do now. Please help me I am having a lot of trouble.

[Bruce Bullis]

For now I would recommend moving back to whichever version of PPro you were using, when these files displayed no issues.

[MisterAdvent]

If you reinstall Premier or move back to a previous version and the issue persists, the problem has to be corruption in the media file that's dropping frames. I cured it by deleting the file, running chkdsk with repair (windows), then re-importing the file and it worked fine.  I'm sure theres a disk check utility for Mac that can repair a corrupt sector.  Run that and see if it reports any disk errors, then run the repair and impot again.

In rare cases a cosmic ray can corrupt a bit on a disk, causing it to work one day and then not the next, or the disk surface starts to fail for no good reason.  SSDs are not impervious to glitches either. Since it worked for a while then quit, the original on the card is probably OK.  Hope you haven't wiped the card yet.  (I always back them up to another drive before wiping a card.)

Hello, had the same issue with converted .mxf files.

Here is what our strategy was that seems to fix that issue:

1. Shift+Premier - delete cache files.

2. Do not open projects, just Premier and delete   All cache files through preferences

3. The most important: Delete the local user account Windows cache by the folowing steps:

Initial Steps (Enter Recovery Environment):

1. Enter Recovery Environment (If you are unable to get into the recovery environment via a menu, you can turn off your system during the initial boot when the Windows logo is on the screen and the dots are circling. Do this at least twice and you'll see the message "Starting Automatic Repair").
2. Once the recovery environment loads select "See advanced repair options", then "Troubleshoot", then "Advanced options".

Method #1 (Via Command prompt - assumes basic command prompt knowledge):

1. Click "Command Prompt".
2. Change directory to your boot drive if necessary (for example, type c: and press <ENTER>)
3. Type "CD %windir%\system32\config\systemprofile\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\caches <ENTER>
4. Type "DIR <ENTER>" and make sure you are in the right path. You should see one or more .db files -- usually just cversions.3.db. If there are no files in this directory see the addendum below.
5. Type "DEL *.* <ENTER>"
6. Reboot and test

Method #2 (Via Safe Mode and File Explorer - may require adjusting permissions):

1. Click "Start-up Settings" and "Restart" to reboot the system and get the option to enter Safe Mode.)
2. At the Startup Settings screen press "4" to boot in Safe Mode.
3. Log into your administrator-level account.
4. Open File Explorer and browse to %windir%\system32\config (example: c:\windows\system32\config)
5. Gain access to systemprofile (you may be able to just double-click it to gain access)
6. Drill down to %windir%\system32\config\systemprofile\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\caches
7. Delete all files inside caches
8. Reboot and testFinally, create NEW Premier Project and import old project assets (sequence by sequence).

Hopefully, these steps will help.
