  • Issue - Transform effect appears glitching on the Program monitor (preview) when trying to modify value, such as Scale or Position.
  • Adobe Premiere Pro version number: 25.1.0 (Build 73)
  • Operating system - Windows 11 24H2 (Build 26100.2605)
  • System Info: CPU, GPU, RAM, HD:
    • CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F

    • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER

    • GPU driver: 566.36
    • RAM: 32 GB

    • Hard Drive: Both the footage and premiere running on 1 TB NVMe SSD which is a local storage.

  • Video format: Format irrelevant, the issue persists on any media format.
  • Workflow details: It's just a simple Adjustment Layer on top of an image/video.
  • Steps to reproduce - (Very important!):
    1. Put an image or video into the timeline (anything, really)2. Put an Adjustment Layer on top of it3. Add Transform effect to the Adjustment Layer4. Try to modify the value on the scale or position by click+dragging left and right
  • Expected result - The Program monitor (preview) should display the changes smoothly
  • Actual result - The preview instead looks choppy and glitchy. It's like the program monitor repeatedly trying to show (or often times just flat out stuck) the top left of the original media beneath it.
  • Video for better demonstration:

@Ann BensI've tried it, doesn't work, unfortunately. I even tried reinstalling Premiere and the issue still persist.

 

@jamieclarkeHey, thanks for acknowledging the issue, hopefully hotfixes come out soon.

Uncheck composite Preview during trim in the wrench of the timeline.

 

Might also uncheck Compositions shutter angle in the Transform effect.

I just noticed this on the newer Premiere update (yes I am on the latest version).

 

Whenever I try to adjust the color of a video the program monitor moves the image, that's not a huge issue but it is annoying.

 

The bigger issue is when I apply the transform effect to a video and try to keyframe the position it no longer gives me a live preview and the screen jump thing happens again. 

 

All of my graphic drivers are up to date.

Hi @curreylo -  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?

 

Have you tried holding down "shift" while opening premiere and selecting the checkbox "Reset App Preferences"?
Sorry for the frustration.

Here's a new one that looks like it's specific to the new Premiere Pro 2025.

 

As I'm dragging my scale or position value, the view in the Program montior lags and doesn't update the scale/position in real time. When I stop dragging scale/position then the Program monitor updates. 

 

Issue attached. It appears to only be buggy in Transform on an Adjustment Layer. Thanks in advance for your help

I can reproduce this on 25.1 W11/24H2

 

A workaround is to put the effect on the clip itself, then cut and paste on AL.

When I apply a Transform Effect onto an Adjustment Layer, and it doesn't show the preview while adjusting the xy axis. Note, other effects on the Adjustment Layer works fine; Transform Effect onto the clip itself works fine. I've reinstalled it, tested it on other projects, used beta, to no avail.

Any idea what this could be?

25.1 on W11

It works on my end but its kind of jumpy.

When I highlight the effect in the Effect Controls is works smooth.
