Color Grading with Proxies enabled (2017.1)

I have a dilemma. I can't seem to color grade in real time when using proxies. In the past, I could create a proxy for UHD footage and color grade with Lumetri with ease. Now when I go to grade, it acts as if I'm working with the original UHD footage the second I make any adjustments. Even when I have to go back to trimming after a grade, I will hit the "FX" button to disable all effects including Lumetri, and it's slow as hell. I need to disable Lumetri in the effects tab on EACH CLIP in order to edit again. So basically I am unable to work with UHD footage... unless I get picture lock, then export as in a prores 1080, Bring it back in, then cut the clips apart manually, then grade..

Any help would be appreciated.

What are the specs of the proxies?

Do you have the Toggle Proxy icon in your Program Monitor?  Is it blue?

I've used anything from ProRes 422 (proxy) to DNxHR SQ to lower res H.264. I usually transcode to 720x1280 @ 23.976 FPS (progressive scan) for most of my work (I do 1024x540 for a 1.896 ratio for 4k footage). Yes, the toggle proxies is on and blue.

I don't see any delay in moving the adjustment paddles in Lumetri and seeing the preview monitor show that change.

If you go to File > Project Settings > General, what is your Renderer set to?

If it is not already, set it to Open CL and test.

Already have Open CL enabled..
