Canon XF-AVC from R5C Flashing

In 22.5, Windows 10, my footage from a R5C, UHD/23.97 422 10bit Intra, plays back with intermittent flashing. The only way around it is to change the sequence to preview at Microsoft AVI Intel IYUV codec. I have to hand this project off to an editor on a MAC... not sure how that will play out. Footage looks great when previewed in Bridge. Adobe? Is there an update for this? Problem with the R5C footage? All video drivers are up to date btw. anyone else having this issue?

Update: I did get it to playback with "software only]" but still had the flicker. Rendered the clip, and still had flicker. 5 second MXF file is here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/on0dz3gzt3a3cuk/AADSLkPpXMyBmMrDILyg9fHGa?dl=0


Not seeing any flickering on 22.5 or 22.6 on windows.

Have you got the xf avc codec installed?

 

clip is awfully jittery but no flashes.

Set preview codec to Prores instead.

Hey brusiephoto,

 

Sorry about the issue. Are you having this issue with a specific Preview File Format and Codec? If so, can you let us know which one it is? A screen recording of the problem could help us understand it better. Also, could you share your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM)? We're here to help!

 

Thanks,

Ishan

I preview the files in Bridge, and they are perfect. 

And... I had somehow achieved clean playback in my project by doing something in the sequence... I don't really know what. I saved the project aand opened it a few times, all was good. Then In opened the footage in a new project, just for testing (to get the sample I just sent on this) and now, I return to the original project, and the footage is flickering again. Arrrggghhhh....
