  • Issue - Transform effect appears glitching on the Program monitor (preview) when trying to modify value, such as Scale or Position.
  • Adobe Premiere Pro version number: 25.1.0 (Build 73)
  • Operating system - Windows 11 24H2 (Build 26100.2605)
  • System Info: CPU, GPU, RAM, HD:

    • CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F

    • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER

    • GPU driver: 566.36

    • RAM: 32 GB

    • Hard Drive: Both the footage and premiere running on 1 TB NVMe SSD which is a local storage.

  • Video format: Format irrelevant, the issue persists on any media format.
  • Workflow details: It's just a simple Adjustment Layer on top of an image/video.
  • Steps to reproduce - (Very important!):
    1. Put an image or video into the timeline (anything, really)2. Put an Adjustment Layer on top of it3. Add Transform effect to the Adjustment Layer4. Try to modify the value on the scale or position by click+dragging left and right
  • Expected result - The Program monitor (preview) should display the changes smoothly
  • Actual result - The preview instead looks choppy and glitchy. It's like the program monitor repeatedly trying to show (or often times just flat out stuck) the top left of the original media beneath it.
  • Video for better demonstration:

      When adjusting the postion on the adjustment layer the actual clip is bugging out and clipping downwards as seen in the video:

      I've been doing it this way for over a year, I recently updated Premiere pro to v25.1. I am unsure what version I was using before. But since the update it is now happening (don't think it happened immeditatly after the update but that's the only change I've made recently).

      Would really appreciate a way to fix this.

      Hi @Thomas323700565ob2,

      Can you create a new adjustment layer and try again? You can add the effect directly to the clip, as well. Have you tried that? I've seen issues like this in the past. See if it behaves the same way in a new sequence. If so, try to reproduce the issue in a new project. Corruptions can take place at the clip level, the sequence level, and the project level, so I like to troubleshoot in that order. See if that helps fix things. 

       

      Thanks,
      Kevin

      Premiere 25.1.0 (build 73)

       

      When I apply a Transform effect to an Adjustment Layer above my footage, if I click and drag the position X or Y paramater, the change is not previewed in the Program Monitor. Instead it sort of glitches into a strange position, and only shows the result of the Transform effect after I finish dragging the parameter.

       

      This behavior does not exist if the Transform is applied directly onto the layer itself, you can as expected click and drag the paramter and see the results happen live in the Program Monitor.

       

      This didn't use behave this way in prior versions of Premiere.

      An example is below. Whenever I change values with the transform tool, I experience a strange bug that does not allow me to see where I'm moving the screenshot. Why is this happening?

      Windows 10 Pro
      Premiere Pro v25

          Hi @Henry_DG,

           

          Thanks for submitting your bug report. Welcome to the forums.  Does this problem look similar to this issue?  Does the error persist if you apply the transform to just the clip and not the adjustment layer?  I hope we can help you soon. Sorry for the frustration!

          Hi @jamieclarke , I've tested the behavior and can confirm it's been fixed in the latest beta. Any ETA when roughly will the fix get applied to the main client? Thanks for the update.

          Hey just wanted to note for anyone else who comes accross this thread - I was having the same issue, but when I select the transform effect in the effect controls panel, I can now modify the values of both anchor point and position with an updated preview in my program monitor. Not great, but a decent workaround for the time being.
