Hey, I'm wrapping up a BTS video for a client. After a few revisions, I noticed these green and red squares when I playback my timeline, they also show up when I export. Any idea what these means?

Just a guess:  it's possible this is a "watermark" placed on your video because a third party filter has been applied to the clip...   and the filter hasn't been purchased or registered properly.   but if that's not it, please tell us your system specs: OS version, Premiere version, amount of RAM, Hardware specs including graphics card and your source properties and sequence settings..

first thing, Please tell us your system specs: OS version, Premiere version, amount of RAM, Hardware specs including graphics card and your source properties and sequence settings.

 

is any of the material from either a screen capture or from a smartphone?  If so, the issue is probably that your sources (or at least some of them) have a variable frame rate.  


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

If not, post back with the specs I requested.
