Can you post a sample of what kind of flicker you are getting?  This sounds like a very odd issue.  Also, what lossless format are you exporting from and what are the export settings you are using for the h.264 and mpeg-2 outputs?

Have you tried to export lossless and then to use ffmpeg / mpegstreamclip to reencode? Does the same issue appear then?

# Adobe Media Encoder Flicker Issue

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-01-08)

When rendering my video in Adobe Media Encoder using either h.264 and mpeg-2 I get random flickering appearing.

I have rendered directly out of After Effects using a lossless codec. The video is fine, however the file size is obviously way too large.

The source DNG raw files are fine - they have no flicker whatsoever.

Does anyone have any advice for me so I can deliver a flicker free video to the client without a massive file size?

Thanks,
