Hi all , bit of a stange problem here Im working on an SD pal project in premier pro 2 ,resizing cineform avi's on the timeline,

everythings working fine, suddenly when I drag clips to the TL they are green with a bit of the image in the top right corner,(see attachement) the other clips already on the TL are fine and they play fine in media player! so I know they are ok

any ideas?

cheers Russ

Send support a clip, never seen that.

I have had the exact same thing happen on two different machines. Some things even stranger than that. I am using the trial versions. I am afraid to buy it because it seems kind of flaky at most times. That is expensive stuff for bugs, but I suppose there are no alternatives...

This happened to me if "Use hardware accelleration" (or something like that) was selected in the project properties.
Switching back to standard or compatibility mode solved the problem.

Hope this helps

Ive seen this on my Vista machine, but never on my XP machine...

I just figured it was a Vista issue

Looks like there might be information here. Missing data: Which OS? Which NLE? What footage resolution and format? Please file tickets with support, if there are any bugs we will do our best to fix them.

In my case it was win XP Pro SP2- up to date and the project was 1440 60i. Jake in tech support suggested manually registering all the ax files and I think that may be what solved it. Or I might have scrapped the project and started another, I don't remember but it went away at some point.

ok, bit of an update thanks to Paolo (cheers dude)
just turned of gpu acceleration and it looks fine ,thing is it was on before and everything was ok it just suddenly went green when I dragged the clips to TL, the clips already on TL were fine?!

Im a bit reluctant to mess around to much atm ,project due in tomorrow dont want to mess it up,

gota be honest I'm not overly concerned, Im sure it's just a glitch in the matrix ;) cineform has been flawless for me:)

WinXP/ SP2/ PP2/ DV PAL/720x576 25i

tbh this project is 5 months old and really bloated in PP2 takes 2 mins to open

Glad to be helpful... I really think this is not a Cineform bug, but a Premiere one. I've had it also using Canopus HQ, and the same thing also happened to some people I know.
I think that it is probably video card related (YUV-RGB stuff...).
Mine is a Nvdia 7800 GTX- used mainly for Magic Bullet Editors accelleration.
There are too much parameters unknown out there.
