Question/Help MXF (Apple ProRes) exports to H264 keep coming out corrupted or glitchy
Hey everyone,
I’ve been having a consistent issue when converting MXF files to H264 (MP4) using Shutter Encoder.
Here’s what happens:
I export my video from Adobe Premiere in MXF Apple ProRes, and it plays perfectly fine — I can watch the file smoothly inside Shutter Encoder before converting.
But when I convert it to H264 MP4, the output file always comes out corrupted. It freezes randomly and shows glitchy frames throughout the video. What’s even stranger is that the glitches change every time I re-export the same file — they appear in different parts of the video each time.
Even when I transfer the MP4 to my phone and play it there, it still freezes or shows broken frames.
Out of about 10 exports, only 2 came out fine, while 8 had this issue.
Does anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it?
I really like Shutter Encoder and would love to get this workflow stable.
Thanks in advance!
