Mercury engine (Metal) GPU acceleration on Apple Mac M1pro 2021

Using the latest version of Adobe Premiere on Apple M1pro 2021 14'', there is a bug that occurs when exporting, with Media Encoder using "Mercury engine (Metal) GPU acceleration".
The bug is a
glitch effect derived from sub graphics.
When I open Premiere 2022 "intel version" with "Rosetta2" the program works properly but is slower.

 

If I export directly on premiere software says that hardware acceleration is not supported.
On Media Encoder is possible export with Mercury engine (Metal) GPU acceleration but glitches!

The solution only software on Media Encoder is very very slowly.
I tried open the same project with last version of Premiere 2021 and I feedback the same problem.

I find the editing is too slow for a machine that promises great performances like this 😞

Turning "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" to "Only on Battery" seemed to solve it during my render batch today. (MacOS Ventura)

I'm having the same issues on MacBook pro M1 Max, both in Premiere and After Effects.

Hello Jeff,
Thank you for reply.
Last OS (Monterey 12.2) hasn't graphic options in battery settings.

Today I tried to export the same video 5 times and the the same error always occurs.

Everything is okay only when I export in "only software" mode. But the time difference is 45 seconds vs 9 minutes!

I hope that the Adobe developers can find a solution as soon as possible
