Bug: Fade transitions unusable with CUDA / GPU acceleration

[lflegg]

I swear this is one of the biggest and oldest bugs in Premiere. Depending on the type of graphics being used, this can make cross dissolves / fading in & out unusable when CUDA / hardware acceleration is enabled (who wants to edit with 'Software only'? that's not why I spent so much money on my computer and Adobe software - to be transported back to the year 2010 performance wise)

See the attached video, how with CUDA hardware acceleration enabled, the first frame (at about 5% opacity) looks like it's about 60% opacity - so basically impossible to get a normal looking fade in. See how my title just very suddenly appears like it was edited horribly by some cheap app on a phone.

Edit:

Here's my comparison of results exporting - Software only vs CUDA enabled:

This is a known issue and has been for years.

Many of us use Filmimpact dissolve (which is free).

Yes your screen recording is terrible. Please make a new one with screen recording software so its steady and not vertical.

Thanks but you can very clearly see the issue in my video - if you want to skip the context/settings and the comparison to Software Only, just go to 00:57.

Using screen recording software isn't going to show it much clearer than this section of my video (it's also a bit more faff as I have Premiere on 2x 4K screens)

I'll have a look at Filmimpact dissolve..though I think this issue affects gradients and all kinds of logarithmic(?) properties across Premiere

In Premiere------sequence setting menu-uncheck the box --composite in linear color ( require GPU acceleration or max render quality )

Still no solution provided for this...

Changing "composite in linear color" doesn't help.

Hello @lflegg,

Thanks for the message. It’s been a long time since you filed this bug, and I apologize for the lack of a response. Are you still having this issue? If so, the team will need more information from you to reproduce the bug. Can you provide the information required here? How do I write a bug report?

I'll move your post to the Discussions board while we await your information.

Thanks,


Kevin
