I’m glad that fixed it for Sinan’s case, but when I got bitten by this last week, it was on a ProRes 422HQ. I guess there are multiple bugs?

24

I guess there are multiple possible reasons. Sometimes, an unliked clip (or not completely cached or so), even in a lower track can endup having a black range in the export…

2024.1 and it’s still here… Aaargh…

26

The paint trick ftw @Sinan—I’m telling you.

Could you remind me what is the support case ID of this issue?

28

I get what you mean. It’s not easily reproducible. But now that I have a problematic timeline, I’ll see if I can send it as a case…

A fix for this issue is coming very soon to a Flame near you! Thanks to @Sinan for helping us by opening a ticket with our Support team and providing content so they were able to reproduce the issue. We should all be more like Sinan :wink:

Hi Fred,
Was this issue fixed after 2025.1? (Black clips in sequence export) We are still experiencing this issue at my facility. It’s very random and we mostly apply a 2d transform on top layer before output. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

37

Or if anyone knows about this on going issue.

38

You should contact support for any “Black clips in sequence export” issue. We have fixed the cause of the issue that had been reported by Sinan, but another cause could still exist, and will likely remain unfixed unless it is investigated and replication steps found.

39

Do you happen to know what version was the fix implemented?

The fix for “FLME-65125 : Adding a source clip of a resolution that differs from the one of the destination sequences does not invalidate the cached intermediate on the segments if they already have a Resize Timeline FX. That leads to black frames being exported on Media Export.” was in Flame 2024.2.1
