Branched: Re: New in beta: Software rendering option removed

[Joel Moody]

Thank you for posting this....

I had a 3 hour encounter trying to figure out why my computer wouldn't load a project that had 680gb of footage. It crashed over and over, because the GPU acelleration couldn't be toggled in program. I would prefer to have rendering and playback preferences within the default boot of the application, and not have to close out the program every time I need to use my GPU acelleration or vice versa. I've been using Premiere for 16 years, and have been toggling the render and playback for the past 6 with my system.

Although I'm not sure that CUDA is always a great option for me, being that my liquid cooled RTX2080Ti seems to drop frames on playback, not to mention it doesn't always render my video as fast, especially if the room is above 70 degrees farenheit.  

I might have to upgrade my system unfortunately, due to the time it will take to shut down my larger projects. The projects I edit range from 30s to hours long in timeline length. So I can easily see how this will tremendously slow down my workflow. And I'm glad I didn't have a deadline today, or I would have been screwed.

Not sure if this info is helpful, but maybe it will make you realize that these little changes make people who don't edit smaller social projects question Premiere's reliability. And in theory CUDA is great, but it hasn't been as promising for me as the headlines. 

Best,

Joel Moody

Hi @Joel Moody -  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?

What gpu driver version are you using? Adobe recommends using the "Studio" driver version when working in Premiere Pro.

Sorry for the frustration.
