Black screen on export for Premiere Pro 2023 - Captions Related - macOS Ventura

Update: This fixed it (for me at least). I manually disabled and enabled all videos in V1. For some reason, disabling it revealed the video overlays in tracks V2-V4. Then I re-enabled V1 video track and it popped up. The first time I tried exporting it exported a black screen. This time, I sent it to the Media Encoder. It worked via Media Encoder! 

 

Mod note: The title was changed. The post was branched from another bug report with an issue that was not the same as the OP's.

Hi there!

Thanks for writing in. What type of media files are you editing (codec/ format, frame rate, frame size)? Have you tried switching to "Software Only" in Media Encoder?

 

Let us know.

Switching to software only also works (outputs both video and audio).

I updated the nvidia studio driver but it doesn't help (while using GPU).

 

Another work around (while using GPU): after queing the encoding job to ME, if I duplicate the job, then encode the duplicate, it also works. And once I got it to encode with video this way, as long as I don't exit ME, queing the same sequence from premiere also works fine without any workaround.

 

The entire project including all assets files and premiere project files are on an external USB drive, I don't know if this is significant.

 

source

1920x1080, 29.97fps, progressive

audio 48000Hz stereo

 

output

H.264, 1920x1080, 29.97fps, progressive, 203, hardware encoding, nvidia codec, VBR, 1pass, target 20.00 Mbps

audio AAC, 320 kbps, 48Khz, stereo

You have probably found a solution by now, but what worked for  me was so strange.

 

I have send the sequence to ME and disabled captions by using the option "None" in the caption options. The subtitles continued appearing in the preview window and the video finally was exported correctly with captions.

 

Dumb, I know, but I hope it keeps working.

 

Thanks

I exported through Media Encoder Beta and it came out just fine.  Thanks for the input everyone.

A faster way of doing it it to disable the closed caption that is active and re-enable it. That should get all clips back to working.

FWIW my timeline did not have any captions, just multiple clips across 3 video tracks, so it might be some bug regarding generation of previews across multiple layers of video in general.

Wonder if I have a different problem, as this does not fix it for me.

Im on a intel based Macbook Pro (2014) with a Geforce 750 graphics card, with Big Sur. Was editing with an older version of premiere pro yesterday - and it was fine (Premiere Pro 2020 something). Decided to update today to v25, and suddenly no videos/stills or any other media plays back. Tried downgrading a few versions, but no luck.

Will get green, red or black screen with noise, randomly distributed in frames at times. But mostly just a black screen.

I tried this and can't believe it worked. I've tried so many other solutions that either only work occasionally or don't work at all. Thanks for the tip!

This has happened to me as well. However it happens when I am working with CC(Closed Captions) Try this if you're working with closed captions. In the editor window click on the Disable button (The eyeball that disables the view) for the closed caption that is currently on. Then Re-Enable the CC clip and the video should come back up. It seems that sometimes Premiere disables a video preview when a change is made and instead of rendering the view it just goes black.

Honestly when this happens to me I relaunch the project a few times and It will work. Instead of launching forom the recents in premiere try to launch the project directly from the file in your mac browser.

Thanks for the tip. I tried this, and until now it remains black.

Hi everyone,

the data:

Mac Book Pro 2018

Processor: 2,6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7

Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

Memory: 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4

Mac os: 13.3 (22E252)

Premiere Pro 2023 Mac: V 23.5.0 (Build 56)

 

I´m editing with Camera footage on my harddrive shot on a Fx30.

The footage is perfectly fine, but the screen preview breaks sometimes, only showing black and makes the sequence unusable.

 

I tried support help twice, also the specialist could´t fix it.

I urge the Adobe team to try to fix this in a soon update so that it can work flawlessly with Mac Ventura.

It´s very frustrating and a big waste of  time to have to start a sequence from scratch ... and many people use Premiere with Mac.

 

Otherwise I really love Adobe Premiere Pro and would like to stay with this program

When I export with captions turned on the video will be black but have audio. When I export with captions turned off there is no issue. 

 

System compatibilty report shows no issues.

I tried rendering to software only and it did not fix the problem. 

I tried exporting the video at the setting High Quality 480p SD wide then re uploading as a new project and adding captions but it did not help.

 

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Jesse291232154mu9!

Sorry to hear that. Can you share your system details (OS, CPU, RAM, GPU)? What type of captions are you using? 

Which version of Premiere Pro are you using?

 

Let us know. Happy to assist.

Thanks,

Im trying to burn in captions using EBU Subtitle Default. But I tried the rest of the caption preset options with the same result.

Thanks!
