I can't figure out why I'm getting these video glitches and misplaced frames in premiere. It's only occurring for 2 videos (prometheus and the deleted scenes)

I just ripped the bluray with makemkv then extracted the video to m2ts with tsmuxer as usual and when I play them in vlc player there are no problems. I even tried ripping it again and the same glitches occur in the same places when I open them in premiere. I also cleared the media caches several times. Rendering and exporting doesn't fix it either. Can anyone help me figure this out?

I had a similar problem ripping X men 3, weird glitches even after a fresh rip with makemkv. Try a different ripper tool, there's some kind of DRM that makemkv isn't fully neutralizing. That program worked for me for every other X-Men movie, I had to use a DVD Fab trial to rip X3. That handled the DRM just fine. It was a few years ago now, not sure about version numbers.

Thanks, I hadn't even considered that! I did just try converting the mkv to mp4 via handbrake to import into premiere which seemed to fix it. But as I understand it, this is a lossy process so not ideal. I'll try out a different ripper.

Well @addiesin , I tried ripping using DVD Fab trial and came up with similar results. Unless you have another suggestion, I think I'll try to get the best quality encode I can from handbrake for now and continue editing.

I would suggest doing a full BR backup of your disc instead of converting to MKV so you can cut tsMuxer out of the process. When you do a full backup you will have access to to original M2TS file sans copy protection (hopefully).

I've also had this issue when using MakeMKV for ripping some blu-rays, the playback is perfectly fine, but no matter how I load it into premiere (in mkv container or put in an mp4 container) the glitches still show. Only fix I found was to transcode before editing which really sucks, but if you use a visually lossless codec it's not really a big deal, it's just the file size is the issue.

If the back up disc function works for you Catferoze definitely update us here because that might be what I was looking for this whole time.

No luck :(
thanks for the suggestions though

how would I go about this?

I get these some times in Vegas after using MakeMKV. I think it might be the way the file is read in the container? The same glitched area will often disappear in my time line after I refresh Vegas.

You guys are using mkv files in Premiere?!?

I always just Handbrake it over to an MP4. and work with that. Often I'll create a low quality for editing, and a high quality final for file replacement, so I can be confident my frames will be EXACTLY the same, but it allows for easy editing during the creative process without taxing my machine.

Did you read the posts? I get the MKV then remux it into an MP4 and OP said he was working m2ts files.

The container isn’t the problem, it’s the h264 stream that is having errors when viewed in Premiere. h264 isn’t meant to be an editing codec, but anyways, to OP I use ffmpeg to convert it to DnxHD and i’ve compared the results before and after even zooming in, and I believe there’s no visible quality loss. The only problem is a 3 hour movie can turn into 200GB. Extremely inefficient for disc space but it’s worth it in the long run if you really care about quality. Plus you get the benefits of DNxHD being very fast to edit as that’s one of the purposes of the codec, and no glitches! I decided to just use an old external hard drive and throw all my giant source files on there, you can buy one pretty cheap. I recommend to get one with a fast transfer speed.

I've seen ffmpeg recommended on some of the guides on the forum but haven't used it yet. Fortunately I have plenty of disc space, so I'll try it out.

Wow. I saw that part but clearly I misunderstood your comment. Didn't mean to offend ya. Carry on.

So this is what I have had to do to one of my projects to get around this error. I transcode the glitchy AVC h264 into DNXHR HQ (from my experience it is visually lossless and we're working with 1080p 8 bit Blu-Ray footage, so not using not DNxHR 444)

Before you do anything, I use MKVToolNix to strip away other language audio tracks and the lower quality tracks, so all I have is an MKV and then a separate audio file. I load the audio into Audacity and export each track as a mono 24 bit wav. You can find tutorials on how to set up a 5.1 mix in Premiere with 6 wav track pretty easily. The audio is easy, now for the video, I use this command:

ffmpeg -i NAME.mkv -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_hq -pix_fmt yuv422p -an OUTPUT.mxf

Prepare to take a 25 GB movie and turn it into 100+ GB. It absolutely sucks, but if you have a spare empty external hard drive you can just throw it in there so your PC doesn't run out of space. When editing DNxHR is extremely efficient and there's no lag because it's meant to be used for editing, so that's also great.

Of course I would love to just keep the original h264 and edit that directly, but I never could get it to work. I tried every fix in the book for days, I tried multiple versions of premiere, nothing ever worked.

This is perfect! I was just going to ask about the command because I had figured out most of it but wasn't sure what to do with the pixel format parameter. Thanks!

When in video issue doubt, give @Captain Khajiit a shout. Captain do you have any insights?
It seems that I'm too late to help out much. The glitches in the first post are decoding errors. Converting source files to an intermediate codec for editing is always best practice because it minimizes the chances of such errors, and it proved the solution here. DNXHR HQ is fine as long as you monitor the video's levels and gamma in case there is a shift after conversion/export.

In case you want to use another application : One other software which does work really well is Clip-champ. Easy to use and not over complicated at all.

Not the issue but first: use CBR and not VBR. VBR should be retired.

How long have you let it sit at 0%? How big will your final file be? It's quite possible the video is now being muxed and just needs time. When I do a render and it's a 2-hr flick it can take an additional 20-30 min. sitting at 0%. You might just need to give it time.
