Premiere 24.3 - Cross Dissolve Issue

Having an issue after updating to premiere 24.3 with cross dissolves - instead of fading to black or up from black smoothly, it fades to gray and then to black or picture. This only happens in playback, does not translate to renders.

 

Anyone else seeing this?

Been having the same issue for months now, happened both an an M1 Max and now an M4 Max. Only happens on Mercury Transmit.

Apple M2 Mac Studio and Premiere Version 25.1

 

Still have the same issue. It appeared overnight sometime ago and I had enough projects without cross dissolves that I forgot about until recently. It only appears in fullscreen mode. And I think there's one more element that hopefully might help: A thin white outline also appears over the fullscreen image that I'm convinced is new and only recently emerged. 

 

You can see it in the top and bottom of this image for example.

I'm having the same problem in full screen mode - so are alot of my post peers at Media Arts Lab.  I'm on v24.5 on an Apple M2 Pro.  It goes away when I render, but very annoying, especially during client presentations.  This seems to be present on every workstation.

Hey @mcdonald0688,

That sounds frustrating. Can you try Premiere Pro Beta as a test?

 

Thanks,

Kevin

I just played with it for awhile. Nothing I did could duplicate the low level gray in the program monitor, 24.5 and 24.6 b75

I'm having the same problem with version 24.5. Attached is a screenshot showing that gray when I simply apply a cross dissolve transition to a black video. It disappears when I render the timeline but I would like to be able to work without rendering everytime.
I tried clearing Media Cache and unchecking Composite in linear color in the sequence settings. It didn't solve the problem.

ali-d, I see it clearly in your screen shot, but I'm unable to duplicate that in 24.5. I have a yellow render bar on that black clip, but it looks black all the way thru. I can simulate that by adding a brightness effect to the black video, or raise the shadows in lumetri, etc.

Try pressing Enter to render the timeline and turn the red line above the timeline to green.

Hey there,

Sorry for the issue. I couldn't replicate this problem on my end. Could you try clearing your Media Cache (https://adobe.ly/3VXsZbz) and check if that helps? If you still see the problem, try using the effect in a new project. Let us know how it goes.

 

Thanks,

Ishan
