PP 2023.6. Just created a project and imported iphone and sony footage to start editing and got this error. Nothing else. The audio mixer is not even checked in the windows menu. RTX 4080, 13700KF, 64 gigs of Ram, Win10

I resaved my project under another name and the issue suddenly went away

[Patrick Ledbetter]

Any chance we can get an actual fix for this issue besides having to resize something? I don't even have the clip mixer window on my panel and I still get the error. The same one that's been reported for a year..at least..

[DSKennedy]

Every single time I select mutiple clips in a sequence, Premiere throws me an error -

"Unable to fill rectangle: GDI Status: ValueOverflow"

Anyone else experienced this or know how to fix this?

[Sumeet Kumar Choubey]

Hi DSKennedy,

We're sorry about the poor experience. Would you mind trying the suggestions mentioned in this article & check if it's working? Let us know if it helps.

Thanks,

Sumeet

Turning off Audio Time Units in the timeline was the fix for me

[clement789465]

Found this problem this morning. Tried to change the size of different panels in my workspace, I even tried to reset it or change it with default ones but it didn't worked.

For me the solution was to work on the projet from another harddrive... A slower one...

Hope this could.

Well isn't it just great. I'm having this error too. Splendid new hardware. 4 monitors. Nice to know I have to resize or close panels, after years of not having a problem with it at all. That's why I always like updating to the newest version. You get as many new errors and glitches as beneficial upgrades.

Hi. Not that I'm having trouble with this error, but maybe it influences Premiere's general stability.

If you turn on the Show audio timeline option in the timeline menu and start zooming the timeline, at some point the timeline drops out and this error appears in the Events. See the video.

Premiere Pro 24.2.1, Win10(updated), 13700KF, RTX4080, 64 Gb Ram, SSD. All the Drivers including the Nvidia Studio Driver are up to date.

[Ann Bens]

Roll back the Nvidia driver: there are some issues with the current (551.61) one.

[AndrewTheGreat]

Yap, rolling the driver back helped. No this issue anymore.

[Matej5CB4]

Yes audio units turned off did for me.

[Ryan32470204uh72]

Picard Photo,  I too use 4 monitors and this error among others will occur as a result of individual windows being opend too large.  Its the strangest 'bug'  but a resize of the window will often times stop the problem.  But I wouldnt have known what window to resize without these forums and its almost NEVER that an Adobe rep answers the question.    There must be an astronomical number of 'bugs' that appear on a daily basis.  Too many to count and too many to troubleshoot via Adobe reps.  

[Michael Elmkjær Madsen]

For me, this is caused by selecting use Show Audio Time Units. Then selecting multiple clips.
Consistent behavior on 24.3.0 Build 59. Windows 10. 
No real solutions since working with Audio Time Units is a necessity. 

[Harper Thinks He Knows]

I'm in the project panel and trying to simply move accross the panel information to see what's hidden on the right so I can see and type into the description of the sequence without have to expand the panel. 

Why are we paying for updates when the program keeps getting worse for the most basic editing? No one has time to pay for bugs year after year. 

[Carlos Ziade]

did you try to reset the preferences?

could also be related to your graphics card, try to get

the latest 'studio' drivers if using Nvidia

[Kevin-Monahan]

Hello Community,

For those still experiencing the issue, please see if you are getting the error in the current beta version (24.6). Let the team know!

Thanks,
Kevin

Did you tried with Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout ?

updating status

This error has been popping up FOR YEARS, back to 2020 as far as I can remember. Various things fixed it for me, new projects, resizing the windows in premiere, closing panels, resetting workspaces, etc. I just found that in the latest 2024 version with latest nvidia studio driver, going full screen on the actual app triggered it and when I resized the window, the glitch went away.
