Danger stripes when re-opening project

[Wouter van de Watering]

I’m experiencing syncing problems in Premiere Pro, the latest version, running on Mac OS. I think it had something to do with the Syncmap XML exported from Tentacle Sync, but I’m not sure what causes the problem.

I have a syncmap sequence imported from the Tentacle Sync XML with 2 camera and 1 (multichannel) audio tracks. I am trying to select a few parts from those tracks and copying them into a new timeline. So far so good. But when I close the project and re-open, the video and audio tracks have ‘danger stripes’ in them.

Making them offline and relinking doesn’t seem to do the trick. The syncmap sequence is still fine. The problem is project related and not computer related, as I tried opening the project on other devices. So that’s why I think it should be something with the syncmap.

Does someone know what is happening? Let me know if more information is needed!

HI @Wouter van de Watering - Does your media have LTC timecode?  Here is an article detailing our new LTC support in 24.6 https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/whats-new/2024-6.html#linear-timecode-support

The status of this bug report has been updated.

Hi @jamieclarke, yes the audio is recorded with LTC. Is there a better way to make a syncmap in Premiere Pro instead of Tentacle Studio?

I was thinking it also could have to do with a mix of 25fps and 50fps. Could that be a problem in a syncmap?

HI @Wouter van de Watering - Yes! you can now sync with LTC Timecode within Premiere Pro version 24.6.  Follow the link I sent for any extra information.  You can select your media clips and in the create multi-camera source sequence, select the option Linear Timecode in the "Other Timecode" box

Thanks! I will try this and let you know if it fixes the problem.

I have the exact same problem, I'm wondering if there's a way to get back my original editing without the un synced stuff with the ltc trick?

If you can help furthermore on this I would greatly appreciate it 🙂

By the way I also have both 25 and 50 fps clips in my synced with tentacle sequence 🙂

Here to say I also have this issue (in multiple projects stemming from Tentacle Sync XML's coming into the latest Premiere). I posted a thread about it here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/striped-clips-with-tentacle-sync/td-p/148699...

Sounds like the same issue. I have CanonRaw footage that was shot at 23.98 and 59.97 (to be interpreted back to 24fps), with multiple interviews synced in TS. When I opened the sync map in Premiere, the 23.98 clips all have extra danger stripes on the ends of each clips tail end, but the media is playing back fine in the timeline and in the source window. It's as if Premiere "sees" every 23.98 clip as having more time baked into the end of it or something. The 59.97 clips do not have this issue.

The synced interviews are two cameras, one fild recorder. And the XML brings the interview in fine at first (but with the extra tails regions with stripes), and once you start cutting into them and save, close, reopen.... every cut you've made to the synced interview that came from the XML has suddenly been striped to death with no way of returning to the linked media (I posted a reference image in my post above of what that looks like).

If I do a manual ingest through Premiere's Media browser of the same exact interview media, the extra striped tail ends are not there. I can sync things up using the old-school technique of hand-clapping on camera, and then after cuting, saving, closing, reopening... it all stays the way it should. The same media through manual ingest vs. Tentacle Sync XML importing works as expected.

I don't know if it's Tentacle Sync related, Canon Raw related, 23.98 and 59.97 related... but it seems like a bug.
