Yellow render bar over transcoded video when it shouldn't be

[michaelcwelch]

Hi, 

Bunch of clips, all transcoded in the exact same codec (1080x1920 ProResHQ 2398), pull them into the timeline and some of them are yellow needed to be rendered, and it's not a slow render. Thinking it was audio so as a test I muted it and also deleted, still yellow. 

Is this a bug in Version 24.3.0 (Build 59), or media encoder (Version 24.3 (Build 49))or am I just being an idiot overlooking something?

Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration:

• yellow: The source media’s codec is computationally difficult (such as AVCHD). As mentioned above, only very few simple codecs don’t get a yellow bar; these include DV and DVCPRO.
• yellow: The settings of the clip (e.g., pixel aspect ratio, frame rate, field settings) don’t match the settings for the sequence.
• yellow: A CUDA-accelerated video effect or transition has been applied to the clip. (A CUDA-accelerated video transition only causes a yellow bar over the duration of the transition.)

Mercury Playback Engine Software Only:

• yellow: The source media’s codec is computationally difficult (such as AVCHD). As mentioned above, only very few simple codecs don’t get a yellow bar; these include DV and DVCPRO.

Thanks Carlos, but like I said these clips are identical in the same exact codec (Apple ProResHQ 1080x1920, 23.98) and it's not the audio, just the video. Doesn't make any sense at all.

try to clean the media cache and delete all render files from sequence..

also consider resetting the preferences and please let us know what happens,

+ share your system specs as well

That's good advice. Should have thought about that. Thanks, I'll do that and I will get you a follow up.

Which program transcoded your files?

I see yellow line in the beta over Prores HQ transcode in the beta.

Media encoder (Version 24.3 (Build 49)). The other weird thing is now all of the clips are unsynching.  I never solved the render issue, I just rendered it and moved on because I am under a deadline, can't be messing around.
