Question

This effect requires GPU acceleration

I have seen the other thread ( this effect requires gpu acceleration after 2018 Update ), but it does not resolve my problem.

Windows 10

GTX 1080

Premiere Pro has GPU Acceleration Enabled

STEPS:

1. In NVidia's Experience app, I chose the re-install drivers option

2. In Creative Cloud app, I uninstalled Premiere Pro

3. In Creative Cloud app, I installed Premiere Pro

4. I launched Pr, opened my project

5. Applied Immersive VR effect "plane to sphere"

I am still getting the red ribbon and "This effect requires GPU acceleration" text

I am wondering if I need to uninstall some of the other NVidia apps/drivers? There are 5 listed:

3D Vision

GeForce Experience

Graphics Driver

Audio Driver

PhysX System

Need I uninstall any/all of those? I don't want to screw anything up; I haven't even had this Acer Predator laptop for 24 hours, and I bought it specifically to edit 360 videos for clients. Please help!!

Found this note relating to After Effects that might help:

"When you work with VR, you could run into memory limitations indicated by a banner that states - Requires GPU Acceleration. By default, Adobe video applications require approximately 1GB of memory for every 1K of horizontal resolution when working in VR. In After Effects 2018, you can reduce the requirements, called Aggressive Memory Management. To enable the setting, select  Preferences > Previews > GPU Information > Aggressive GPU memory use (for VR)."

I am having same issues on a mac. The other thread doesn't resolve my issue. Simply enabling in project settings still doesn't fix the problem.

Hi Philip,

I have found through some testing that apparently the file type for the image I am applying the Plane to Sphere effect to has an influence on whether I get the red band. Mind you, these are images with transparency. Here are my results:

I GET THE RED BAND FOR:

.png

.bmp

I DO NOT GET THE RED BAND FOR:

.gif

.psd.

.tif

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip :-) I tried this out but it seems in my situation using .gif, .psd or .tif won't work for me either. All graphics get the same result as .bmp and .pngCompletely confused on this one.  Can't get any assistance from Adobe and this never used to be a problem in 2017 version.
