Filter Offline (RGB Curves) - Error since updating to v22.0.0 (Build 169)

I recently updated Premiere Pro to version v22.0.0 (Build 169)

 

When I load existing projects, any instance of the RGB Curves filter is now listed as Filter Offline (RGB Curves) in the effects panel, and the filter is non-functioning.

 

This means that a lot of color correction in existing projects no longer works. This is obviously VERY inconvenient! I tend to use the RBG curves filter for quick adjustments because it renders much faster than Lumetri. I can on longer make tweaks to existing edits without checking and fixing every clip that had the filter applied.

 

It seems odd to me that a filter would be disabled/offline. In other updates I've seen an "obsolete" label added, but the filter is still functional.

 

Is there a problem with how my update has treated the filters? I haven't had an "offline" error with any other filters.

    Following up with a solution to this issue on Apple Silicon Macs, the solution that works for me is to launch Premiere in Rosetta 2 mode, then open the project.

      For anyone who's searching for a solution to this, installing version 22 (from the Creative Cloud apps area, click the dots and pick "Other Versions") can fix it temporarily. Obviously installing an older version will allow you to use the effects again which were present in that version... but I also made an amazing discovery:

       

      After installing the older version, the deprecated obsolete effects were also available again in the latest version of Premiere Pro! (At least in the Windows environment.)

       

      It must install these effects to some common location. I couldn't find it in any obvious place (like inside AppData) so clearly this trick will only work until I uninstall the old version. But it could be a handy band-aid for others while you transition to newer versions of effects.

      Are you on an M1 Mac? I know on those, some of the "obsolete" effects are gone.

       

      Actually, anymore you should be able to get the same performance if you just use the Lumetri Curves tab as you did with the RGB Curves effect. I can't tell any difference whatever in playback.

      I just recently gotta the M1 Mac, and was wondering and stressing on why I couldn't find effects I normally used. After reading this response, I am truly disappointed with Adobe. It is now March and I am seeing no resolution to this problem, I am highly upset. I pray someone has found a solution by now.

      I understand the frustration. You shoulda seen my posts 'here' and on the ol' SpeedGrade forum when the Adobe management of that time (which has since changed, thankfully) killed SpeedGrade ... because the guy running Premiere thought anybody doing any 'real' color would be going to Resolve, so why should Adobe have a grading app.

       

      Grrrr .... it was a very unique, and very fast app to grade in. I still used it for years after they killed it. In fact, it's still loaded on my old computer.

       

      Every one of thses apps change over time, inevitably. As noted above, I work in both Resolve and Premeire daily, and teach color in Premiere to Resolve or Baselight based colorists. So I'm also on the LGG and BlackMagic forums daily.

       

      And see the posts there with users upset over the changes every new version of Resolve.

       

      The RGB Curves in the Lumetri panel works fine, for me, and I especially like using it now that they've got the wide rectangle rather than that stupid old Adobe square box. Widen the panel out, it's far easier to make minor targeted adjustments.

       

      And the biggest "up" about the Luemtri curves section is having all the other curves ... the HSL ones ... that really allow for targeted changes.

       

      But in the end, these apps are all just tools ... fancy hammers. Figure out how to get stuff done, and always remember ... at some point a beloved hammer is gonna break and you'll need a new one. (Except for Dad's old Craftsman wth the steel handle ... that's never gonna break ... )
