Not sure if this has been noticed before but thought I would point it out. I have a test project I have been having issues with in 25.3, and I decided to try loading it in Beta. First, I will say beta runs way smoothing, and this text project that I had issues (I have other posts about it) would play back fine, unless I created a proxy for editing. Work around was to interpret the footage to 60FPS, and that allowed it to play smoothly. When importing into the Beta, none of this was needed worked perfectly. In my initial quick testing last night, I was only looking for smooth playback. I decided to dig into it more this morning and noticed there was a black flash between clips in my test project. I zoomed in and found a missing frame: The bottom clip is the one imported from the 25.3 project, The clip above is the same, but dropped in fresh from within this project. I can edit the bottom clip and slide its end point back, and that would fix the issue. After sliding the end point back, I could not extend it back to the original spot where the frame was missing. When making this correction manual, the video plays perfectly and no black frames of video. I had 4 clips on the timeline, and all of them had this issue. Two things to report I would imagine - there might by an issue opening older projects and either version 25.3 incorrectly put the clip on the timeline, and the beta project importing is working fine, or the beta has some error related to this. OR version 25.3 in the only version that has an issue, and all my playback issues in 25.3 are related to this extra frame being reported in the file. Which also sort of makes sense to me as manual interpret to 60FPS would allow 25.3 to play back the proxies created from premier to be smooth. (as using Media encoder to create the proxy outside premier, and attaching them they will also play fine if memory serves me correct, it was only when creating within premier. Either way, this is a variance in how the beta is handling this - I can’t figure out what the root cause is, but it seems important enough that if this was to roll into production, and someone were get an extra black frame at the end of every clip for a imported project it would be a challenge.
