Black Screen when grading R3D footage

I bought a 4070, fixed the problem

Been a while but I've tested the older drivers now but still no result. Interesting fact when my screen turns black when grading, I can still scrub in the footage and it will show an image. Only when the footage is paused it is a black screen. So I can hit play and I receive an image. Just very stupid when grading..

Thank you!

Sorry! I realize a native sized sequence is not ideal for your specific workflow. It is only a test to see if scaling might be the thing causing poor performance.

Regarding the older driver, others are reporting no issues with it. I am running an even older driver and my workflow is rock solid. NVIDIA has released some drivers that have been faulty when using them with Premiere Pro, unfortunately.

Thanks,

Allright I will downgrade asap! About the native seq resolution, since we shoot at various resolutions with the red 4k,5k,6k to crop in, is it not very easy. I will try it tho and give an update asap

Good afternoon, REFECTl,

The community appreciates the update. Happy Saturday. I'm one of the community managers here; just popping in to see what's going on this rainy afternoon. Welcome to the Adobe Premiere Pro community.

Are you speaking about the new drivers or 517.40 or the 528.24 drivers, please? Try downgrading to 517.40 with a clean reinstall of the studio drivers. Please also try a 6K sequence with settings that match your footage as a test for your "black screen problem," as scaling affects the Mercury Playback Engine's performance. Odd, I know. I found that working at the native resolution and having matching sequence settings is easier on your computer than a scaled down one. I wonder if that would help diagnose the issue.

Thanks,
Kevin

I just for the first time had a notifcation from windows "Premiere Pro  Has Been Blocked From Accessing Graphics Hardware"

Yeah strange..

Huh. Something definitely off there ...

Took a while cause I was busy editing projects but now I had time. I did a clean install on pc, windows reset + only installed the studio driver. Did not work sadly

The game drivers typically add a bunch of 'helper' utility files & apps for game playing, that are at times problematic for video editing.

I've known of people that had installed the game drivers and Geforce Experience ... and had to uninstall everything and then do a clean install of ONLY the Studio driver to get their system working correctly.

So if you are working even with the studio driver, you might want to remove all Nvidia from your machine, and do a 'clean' install of that latest Studio driver. May not work, but then ... it might.
