Hi guys, I hope you can help me. I have been using premier to post on my instagram blog for 6 months now and its all be going great with my videos. But all of a sudden after i have exported them and uploaded to instagram there is now a flicking at the very bottom of the screen and its happening all the time now on every video. Has anyone else experianced this before? As i said the footage on my phone is fine, its after i upload to instgram that it does it. I am hoping some one knows what i mean. 

 

Thanks a lot for your time. this is really frustrating me.

if you scale the source video up a bit in the premiere sequence, does that solve the problem?  Might be useful to post a bit of your source clip and your instagram output...

Hey thanks for getting back to me. No it makes no difference I've tried that. It's always the same size flicker at the very bottom. It flickers in the colour of the clip. I'll try and get a picture.

Hi thanks for reaching out. 

It's an mp4 file h.264. Frame size is 23.97 FPS and 1080x1350. I use main and level 4.1 and 2 pass encoding at 10/10 or sometimes high at level 4.2 15/20. I've never had an issue with this before. It's just started all of a sudden. I'll try and get a picture of the flicker and show you.

WAIT... did you shoot this material on a smart phone?  If so, the problem may be that the sources have a variable frame rate which Premiere has issues with.  Unfortunately, these problems are intermittent with a wide variety of manifestations and impossible to predict.   Here's how to diagnose and solve the problem


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, setting the quality slider in the video panel to maximum

and here's a tutorial on how to use handbrake

Hello, I was wondering if you may have found a solution to this issue? This just started happening to me when I staretd to upload videos again to my Instagram. I cant seem to find the source of the issue. When I play the video back anywhere else it plays fine with no flicker but once uploaded to instagram it appears again. Which is very annoying.
