Playback and scrubbing extremely buggy after update. Renderer locked to Mercury Playback Engine OpenCL and cannot be changed. Happens even in simple 1080p sequence. Cache cleared and hardware decoding disabled.

    Hi ​@CaptnPlommy -   Thanks for submitting your bug report. We need a few more details to try to help with the issue.  Please see, How do I write a bug report?

    “Renderer locked to to Mercury Playback Engine OpenCL” is because you only have one GPU in your system and We have removed the option for Software Rendering starting in Premiere Pro version 25.2, Please see this article: Learn more about the removal of software rendering options 

     

    Can you describe what buggy means?
