Re: 1.0.0.5 | Watermark glitches with x264
Ciao Giacomo,
my first assumption would be an issue with the container. Could you upload a very small sample that glitches?
In the workflow picture you provided, is this what you do: first transcode to prores and after that to mp4?
Thanks!

emcodem, wrapping since 2009 you got the rhyme?

Wow, that was fast and just right spot on.
OK, i dont have much time today left, i'd like to reproduce. Best if you upload your exported workflow as well... no modifications needed, but it is good for me as a starting point.
If you want to have an educated guess meanwhile: in the mp4 encode node, don't let everything on automatic, choose some reasonable profile and level. Currently you have High 4:4:4 Profile wich is VERY uncommon Choose just High and Level 5.1 or such. My guess is that this 4:4:4 level is chosen when you use the watermark node because that is the actual colorspace after doing the watermark. So you need to convert it back one or the other way.
But i am just guessing... tomorrow i can have a look

Yeah... Avid was never really good in supporting files in general 
My first shot in the dark would be that it is about the container and not about any codec settings. Can you try to rewrap the non working file using mp4box?
Another thing that directly hits my eyes is that the working file seems to be CBR, or at least it looks like CBR vs VBR is one of the bigger differences.
A shot in the very dark, maybe you can try to add "Custom x264 options in the H264 encoder node:

Hello Giacomo,
Can you please tell me what kind of interface you use with your Pro tools? DX IO, DX Iq, etc or Mojo, Adrenaline or third party card (blackmagic, Kona,etc). It will be easier to help you
And true, Pro tools is not the best for playing video...But I think it's easy to find one which will work.
H264 is not the best because it's use a lot for decoding, if you don"t have storage problem, you should use a less compressed codec.
Cheers.
Benjamin

Hey,
Sorry but I don't know why you have a Blackmagic UltraStudio HD Mini which is full compatible with pro tools and can play almost all videos codecs (dnxhd,xdcam,avc intra,etc) and you want to play mp4 files.
Anyway, if you don't use your video interface engine, and if I'm not wrong, your computer must read video file with only his graphic card which is not really powerfull on most of pro tools workstation.
Sorry, I just try to understand your configuration to help you more
Cheers.
