"Error retrieving frames" issue with LucidLink in 25.3

[BenBacharach]

Updating to 25.3 caused issues with Premiere as well as Media Encoder communicating with Lucid Link. The files affected are proxy video files (Quicktime - MPEG-4 - 1920x1080, 23.98). 

I get a continuous stream of "Error retrieving frames" messages during playback and rendering. This affects all my projects, but only the proxy video files. I pinned all the media in Lucid to the internal drive, same issue. Rebooted, shutdown and restarted, cleared prefrences and cache files, same issue.

Going back to Premiere 25.2.3 and ME 25.2 fixed the issue.

Hi @BenBacharach, 

Welcome back to the Premiere Pro forums!  We’re happy you’ve reached out.   It's interesting that it's that one specific format, and rolling back the version resolved it. That's helpful. Have you confirmed your Lucid Link connection is strong?

Would you be able to share one of the clips that's giving you problems for us to test with?  What type of system are you working on?  We’ll need a bit more info to try to help with your issue. Please see: How do I report a Problem?   I hope we can help you soon.
