Premiere Pro 25.2 Bugs: Renderer Option Greyed Out and Reset to Saved Layout Issues

[waleedq40310673]

Bug 1: Renderer Option Greyed Out
- In Premiere Pro 25.2, the Renderer option (GPU/CPU) in Project Settings is greyed out and cannot be changed.
- This is a problem because sometimes CPU rendering is slower but more stable, and users need to switch manually.
- Expected: Ability to choose between GPU and CPU rendering.

Bug 2: Reset to Saved Layout Not Working
- When importing workspaces from older versions, clicking "Reset to Saved Layout" does nothing.
- It only works after clicking "Save Changes to this Workspace" or "Save as New Workspace."
- Expected: "Reset to Saved Layout" should work immediately, even for imported workspaces.

Hi @waleedq40310673, 

The change that you're describing in Bug 1 is not a bug; it's intended behavior. More information is available about this change is here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-beta-discussions/now-released-software-rendering-option-.... 

If you see a rendering issue that is only resolved by switching temporarily to software rendering (how to do that is described here), please let us know. 

Thank for the information about importing workspaces! We will test that and log as a bug. 

Regards,

Fergus
