Red and Green Squares during playback

[gerardoa55618598]

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?

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.

I am having the same problem. It's killing me

[Michael Grenadier]

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..

Nitro 5 laptop 16 gb ram nvidia rtx 3060 graphics card 1 to of memory

have you applied any filters to the video?

[Kerron28268527ik15]

Yes I used cinema grade but I just bought this new lap top and trying to transfer the files and this happened 

[Michael Grenadier]

You need to either transfer the license from the old computer to the new laptop or purchase an additional license for the new computer...  I suggest you contact cinema grade support on how to proceed.

and a quick google found this on their site

"How many computers can I install it on?
License allows you to install Cinema Grade on up to two computers." So follow the instructions on how to authorize it on the new computer...

I tried it. It still doesn't work red and green blocks still showing

[Michael Grenadier]

try this, First, duplicate the sequence, then click on a clip in the timeline with this issue and right click on it and choose remove attributes and make sure you remove the filter.  Does the problem still appear?

[Kerron28268527ik15]

That was it. Had to remove cinema grade. But now when I try to apply the cinema grade it corrects on their site but don't transfer to premiere pro.  Thanks a lot though
