Changing effects using effect controls messes with playback window

[Tonty]

Hey, so when I'm changing effects for elements of a video such as (but not limited to) opacity, gradient wipe, invert color, position, scale, rotation, etc,  (seems to be all effects in general) the playback window glithces out and sorta zooms in a lot to a certain corner? I'm not quite sure how to describe, so there is a reddit post I have made with a video which demonstrates the bug. Here https://www.reddit.com/r/premiere/comments/1hox3n9/comment/m4d0ydp/?context=3 

My Hardware is as follows:

AMD Ryzen 5 7600X

Crucial P.3 SSD (I have a Samsung 970 Evo as my main drive) but this is my second drive with all of my software and videos etc.

RTX 4060

32 GB of RAM, 20GB dedicated to Adobe programs.

Software wise:

NVIDIA Studio Drivers, or Game Ready (Changing does not fix problem)

Premiere Pro V25.1.0 latest release

Only started happening recently after moving drives where Pr was stored, though happened before on my main drive too, so not limited to drive speed/write it seems?

Thanks 🙂

which means: Premiere is not stored on the bootdrive as it should?

Make sure you have a clean Nvidia studio driver installed.

Reboot machine.

Reset preferences.

Delete media cache.

Reset workspace or make new one.

make new project and import old one.

See how that goes.

Hey, nothing worked. Some effect controls were okay - such as gradient wipe AFTER resetting workspace, but changing other controls did not work at all.

Some notes: A, I'm supposed to have Pr on my boot drive? Did not know that, will migrate over and let you know.

B: Sometimes seems to be when processing intensive scenes, though, I feel like my computer with it's hardware should be able to handle this? It's just a few effects on a colour opacity layer above

If you want to have your machine properly work, all software needs to be on the bootdrive.

Does the sequence setting match the footage?

[Tonty]

Sequence Settings: 

Video Settings

[Ann Bens]

Set preview codec to Prores LT

[Tonty]

Don't have that for the sequence settings

Update: Imporated an old version of the project in Pr 2024, no issue there, seems to be a strictly Pr 2025 issue here. I wonder if it's something to do with the fact the project was created in Pr 24, and upgraded to Pr 25 mid way due to an update I put through

[Tonty]

I created a whole new project, I did try importing the original project like you mentioned, but the didn't fix the issue, however, I made a new project and threw some of the media from the original project in there and I didn't have this issue, it's project specific it seems. 

[Tonty]

Last update: I made a new sequence WITHIN the project: used a source video with a few of the effects and everything works fine, however, when I copy and pasted the original sequences videos into that new sequence, starts to break again, so I don't really know if it IS project or sequence specific. 

[Tonty]

Apologies for the spam: I downgraded my project to an older version. Issue is totally fixed, I think it's a 25.1 issue, as Pr 24.6 doesn't seem to have the same issue, let me know if you find a fix sometime! Thanks.

Don't migrate.

Uninstall and then reinstall.

[Tonty]

Yeah I unisntalled and reinstalled to my C:\ Thanks for letting me know!
