Thank you jamie, that did it. After some time with the beta, I havent found anything that didnt work, except: AE Dynamic Linking seems to be deactivated in the beta, do you have some info on that? ... View more

So i tested it out, and it seems the glitches and the slow performance of the XACV files has been fixed in the beta version. Its just that in the beta version, the effects window is completely blank and no effects are showing up. So, this is hardly improving anything. ... View more

PS: All other codecs that we tried (including XACV-S from Sony Alpha cameras) works just fine. ... View more

We are a production company, running Premiere Pro 24.5 on Windows Machines.   Since the update to Premiere Pro 24 (or so, the Update that brought the New Timeline Design), the Decoder/Encoder for XACV-L (which is our main acquisition format from Sony FX9/FS7, as is for many production companies that use Sony Cameras) seems to be broken. Other people from the industry have reported that it happens to XACV-I Footage from the Sony FX6 Cameras as well.   Viewing the footage natively is not possible. It constantly drops frames and Premiere gets incredibly slow, until it just shows blackscreen instead of the footage. It shows a red message in the corner that it could not retrieve the frame, and after a number of attempts it just gives up.   Trying to export the footage from Premiere just freezes the program; adding to Media Encoder Queue and rendering does work, however, horrible glitches get exported with the footage. I have added a few screenshots on how it looks. The only way around it, as for now, is to transcode the sourcefile to some intermediate codec in media encoder first, then replace the XACV footage in the project manually. This takes time and a boatload of storage when you are shooting long clips.   Needless to say, this is a bad issue; we have a hard time trusting our exports and have to watch everything 3 times before it goes out. We tried different hardware configurations, Software only rendering, etc. and since we are not the only ones affected, i would assume this is an issue that came with the update. It is so bad that I started to see these kind of glitches all over TV now. People in the industry here in Austria have reported that they are considering switching to Media Composer again because all of their acquistion happens on Sony cameras whose footage experiences this kind of problem.   I just wanted to draw some attention to this issue and get feedback if other users are experiencing this as well; and if anybody has found a way around it yet. (other than waiting for Adobe to fix the issue). ... View more
