Frame hold video layer disappears when another sequence enters

Hello,

(Note: all the video I shot for this project was in front of a green screen and then the green was keyed out with ultrakey).

I have a 20-second frame hold in my top video layer (V9). There is some motion animation in the first 5 seconds of the frame hold. Then another sequence begins in a lower video layer (V3). When the V3 layer sequence begins, the V9 layer immediately goes blank, even though in the timeline the frame hold is still going on for 15 more seconds and the V9 layer is obviously on a higher layer. I have tried deleting and re-adding the frame hold, adding more motion keyframes to trick Premiere into keeping the layer visible, shutting down premiere, shutting down my Mac.

Could my V3 layer somehow be set to not allow video in other layers?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

sometime it's simpler to export a still frame (in a format that supports transparancey) rather than a frame hold... and edit it into the timeline.

This Glitch is still happening in 2023 on Premiere Pro 2024. Its the weirdest thing. And the solutions suggested above are good but they are extra steps and disrupt Work Flow. . . So weird.

Try deleting the keyframes within the clip i.e. position, opacity, whichever. Worked for me. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to go back to Final Cut, however. The gliches here are somewhat baffling.

I have a keyed frame-hold segment, and when i overlay a png above it, the frame-hold sequence becomes invisible.

by any chance is your source from a smartphone or screen recording? If so, your clip probably has a variable frame rate which is problematic in Premiere and would explain why there might be issues with a frame hold.use mediainfo to determine whether your source is variable or constant frame rate

if it's variable use handbrake to convert to constant frame rate

and here's a tutorial on how to use handbrake

It's not a variable frame rate it just happens over cross dissolves for some reason

Nope turns out it is over any frame change, it just disappears?!

When you have a frame hold over a cross dissolve it makes the frame hold disappear, not sure why but just a heads up for anyone else having the issue

It should not do that.

Just to check - are you preview rendering at the point where V9 goes blank. If not try preview rendering that section to see if it appears once rendered.
