When the 'Drop Shadow' effect is appled to an Essential Graphics text layer in combination with the 'Transform' effect, there is a rendering error with GPU acceleration disabled.

Question

'Drop Shadow' combined with 'Transform' rendering error with GPU acceleration disabled

When the 'Drop Shadow' effect is appled to an Essential Graphics text layer in combination with the 'Transform' effect, there is a rendering error with GPU acceleration disabled.

Steps to reproduce:

With either OpenCL or CUDA hardware acceleration enabled, Create a 1920x1080p sequence
Create an Essential Graphics clip with a text layer
Apply 'Drop Shadow' and 'Transform' to the Essential Graphics clip
Decrease the vertical position property of the 'Transform' effect, the clip moves up as expected
Disable harware acceleration, and observe that the layer moves back to its starting position

In this configuration, 'Transform' position paremeter values under 960,540 are not respected when GPU acceleration is disabled.

With hardware acceleration disabled, disabling the 'Drop Shadow' effect allows 'Transform' to function correctly again.

Hi @Kevin-Monahan,
I was the one who came across the problem initially. I think this problem has been fixed as of now. Having no issues with it. However, since you have mentioned the FX on the (old essential graphics, now) properties panel, I would like to some feedback- the Shadow FX on the properties panel, although it has the ability to stack multiple FX, you can not change the order of those FX. That means, after changing values of multiple shadows (in the properties panel), it is required to change all the values just to change the stack order. It would be great if there was a feature for that in a later update.

Thanks.

Hi Kev!

Not at the studio over the weekend to try that, it probably would be a functional workaround I imagine!

Another user came across this bug over on the /r/premiere subreddit and I was just putting it in the system 😉

Hi @danh32162969,

Thanks for posting your problem. Is it possible to solve this issue via nesting? If that is not working, can you try using the Drop Shadow in the Essential Graphics panel instead? Let us know if either of these ideas might work for you.

Thanks,
Kevin

Changing the stacking order fixes the issue with 'Transform', but introduces a rendering error with 'Drop Shadow' instead.

In that configuration with hardware acceleration disabled, the 'Distance' and 'Direction' parameters appear to move both the graphic and the drop shadow proportionally.

With hardware acceleration enabled, the graphic remains stationary and only the shadow moves when adjusting the same parameters, as expected.
