Question

Can't update audio effects, keeps reverting back to previous settings.

After updating to Premiere Pro CC (2017), I've been working on an audio mix and I want to try a different HPF on the Parametric Equalizer and every time I change it, when I play it back, the settings reset back to what it was before.

For example, the HPF is set to 174hz, so I change it to 120hz (both by using the slider or entering in manually), and I've found that 90% of the time, when I close the Parametric Equalizer window and hit play, there's no change and I look at the Parametric Equalizer settings window and sure enough, the effect went back to 174hz.

Is anyone experiencing this problem and can anyone provide a solution?

This is what I've tried so far:
- Restarting Premiere Pro

- Restarting my computer
- Saving as a new project file

I think it's due to the Off/Read/Write/Touch toggle.
Setting it to Off solved my problem.

HI everyone,

I just found the same issue and I found a solution.

It happens only with some project, suddenly and forever.

Create a new project and import the project won't help.

You have to select all the content of the timeline and copy it.

Open a new project.

Create a new timeline and paste the content.

Reapply the effects and it will work.

Hope can help someone.

Bye.

Hi was there any solution found to this.

As I have the same problem,

I am running Premiere 2017 11.01

MacosX 11.9

It's started on a single project, and I can't retify it.

I am also not in a position to upgrade premeire at the moment.

Just wanted to do an update to this thread. After doing the 2017.1 CC update, this problem seems to have gone away. I am now able to use the new Dynamics Processing and Parametric Equalizer effects without issue.

Hi James,

Can you check to see if this occurs in a fresh new project? Your issue might be project specific.

Thanks,

Kevin

I'm on a new computer build, Win10 Pro, and PrPro 2017.0.1 ( 11.0.1 (6) ).

Just tested the Parametric EQ both with & without the changes to HighPass, and it worked as normal for me.

Also the Dynamics Processor works as expected.

So ... it might be more hardware-specific or installation issues ...

Hi James,

Can we get more info on your system and media? Today, I only have access to Mac and am not seeing the issue. If you're on PC let me know and I'll have my colleagues test.

Thanks,
Kevin

I don't know about James, but I'm running Windows 10 64-bit. I'm having the same issue with the new Dynamics Processing effect.

I'm having the same issue. If I use the Parametric Equalizer effect on a clip and click on the edit button to bring up the GUI, none of the changes I make stick. I can raise or lower the master gain, enable the HP filter and change the frequency, etc. But as soon as I close it, all of the changes I made are reverted back to the default. I've only been able to get things to stick if I use the Individual Parameters, which doesn't include the HP and LP filters (as far as I can tell), so I have no way to use them. I guess I'll stick with the old EQ effect for now.
