Is this a cross dissolve bug?

You only need 4 things to reproduce this bugs, assuming it is reproducible:

Create two color mattes, red on bottom, green on top

Offset them so the green matte shows up on top of the red matte after a few seconds

create a transparency mask on the green matte, so that instead of a green color filling the entire screen, you see a green circle in the middle of a red matte

Lastly, put a cross dissolve at the beginning of the green matte

Now when you scrub to the beginning of the green matte, you would expect to see a circle gradually appearing, starting from yellow to green. But I see a black circle at the beginning of the green matte.

 

I'm running in windows 10 using nvidia GTX 1080 card with the studio driver. But I doubt it's related to the driver, because if I export this as a movie via ME, I also see the black circle before the green circle start to fade in. In the exported video, the black circle appears for 1 frame. When I scrub in premiere to the start of the green matte, it appears for a split second, then disappear (while still on the same frame). If I play the timeline, the black circle appears the first time it plays, then disappear, but reappear after doing random things like resizing, playing the timeline, etc. At one point I managed to get the black circle to appear on screen indefinitely. I rebooted windows and premiere pro but still I see this.

 

Could someone try to reproduce this?

 

 

 

sometimes I see this:

Also whether or not this can be reproduced, could someone suggest an alternate way to do this effect because I have a project that need this feature.

A couple of things you could try, nest the circle clip and cross dissolve the nest or try using opacity keyframes.

Opacity keyframes works.

Nesting the circle clip (along with the dissolve transition) does not solve the problem.

Nesting the circle clip without transition, then put the dissolve on the nested clip makes the problem reproducible every time. If I put a dissolve at the end of the circle clip, it works as expected.

Addictive dissolve, film dissolve also have the same problem.
