Frames glitching in Premiere Pro while raw footage is fine

Good morning all!

I've been working on a project in Premiere Pro 15.4 and when I import my video file, there are areas of the video where a glitch occurs.  This isn't seen in the raw footage/file.  Any thoughts?  It occurs when I playback in Premiere Pro and in exports.  

 

Apologies if this is a redundant question; first time posting/here!

Correct answer Menang Jamir
I have the same issue whether be on a SSD drive or on a NVME drive same
issues as before even with proxy files... btw, enabling v-sync on nvidia 3D
settings fixes the issue of frames glitching.

For me the fix was disabling the hardware encoding and decoding in media tab in the preference

Go into the NVIDIA Panel and click Program settings. (Premiere Pro) Go down to Vertical Sync, and change it to on) Go back into your timeline, and the glitching should be gone. It worked for me. One thing remains certain with Premiere Pro, you will always have bugs, and always be coming up with workarounds, and tricks to overcome every bug with every new release. What's shocking is Adobe will get rid of a certain bug, and two updaates later, the same bug, or something similar will appear. Go Adobe Go, lol.

Hey I was having the same issue. I was editing from my SD card and it was giving the same problem. Try transferring the files to an SSD first then import the files into premiere pro. Once thats done create new proxies  from those files you just imported and that should fix that problem. That fixed my problem.

    Hi All. I am experiencing the same issue and have also downloaded and installed the latest bet as of Oct 18, 2021. Same thing. In the timeline, unrendered plays back smoothly. To specify:

     

    1. Camera: Canon 5d Mark IV

    2. Format: All-I 23.976 FHD 1080

    3. 2020 MacBook Pro, Apple M1 Chip

    4. macOS Big Sur 11.6

    5. Original .MOV file plays glitch free

    6. Adobe Premiere Pro beta - plays smoothly in preview window

    7. Adobe Premiere Pro beta - plays smoothly unrendered in the timeline

    8. Adobe Premiere Pro beta - glitches when rendered in timeline

    9. Adobe Premiere Pro beta - glitches in the exported H.264 file

    This is still an issue for me with the latest beta build of 22.1.1. It isn't an issue with ALL-IPB footage. Glitches only appear in timeline when rendered and exported using ALL-I format. Source footage is clean. No glitches. Any updates @mayjain7130546 ?

    Hey! Oh my good god, I am so grateful to find this thread and know it isn't just me. 

    Exact same issue. XAVS 1080P 10-Bit. Editing on a M1 Macbook Pro. Looks totally fine in the raw file, but on importing/viewing on the timeline/exporting, I get those same unexplainable glitches.

    Did you find any resolution to this? I am so stressed with this project and really not wanting to migrate over to Final Cut for this and downgrading Premiere back to its non M1 version is not an option.

      Sorry for being a month late on this - your Beta build is garbage. I hate the be so blunt but it is unusable and breaks every time I try to load any kind of Essential Graphic or Effect.

      I cannot believe I've given so much money to Adobe and invested this much time into this project to now have to relearn everything in FCPX over MONTHS of them knowing about this bug and not fixing it in the live build - rather sending everyone to an unusable Beta.

      Once I've wrapped all my Premiere Pro projects, I'm canceling my subscription to this garbage product and recommending any creator I see to do the same.

Super strange beacuase I shot a wedding a few weeks back in the same format with a rented a7siii and it had no problems editing. Please help!

        Can definitely confirm the beta has done me well.  No more glitching/flickering.

         

        I tried to upgrade to 15.4.1 but same issue.  It was either remain at 15.2 or go beta.  I went beta.

          I have exactly the same issue here with the M1 Macbook pro.

          Source footage (RAW) is fine and then as soon as you open in any adobe software it glitches. Even tried to encode to prores and still does it. I am currently converting using handbrake to see if that works its so annoying.

           

          Camera is a7siii using a prograde card. 

          MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) 

          I see that this thread stems back to July, so clearly a compatibility issue here.

          Can you please fix in beta asap? The 'glitch' was fixed on everything when I opened an existing project in Beta, problem solved, but as I keep editing there's more 'glitches.'  (A shot is holding onto two frames of the previous shot in the timeline. So if I move around my edit at all, footage 'glitches.') I literally cannot edit. It is driving me insane.
