Program/Source preview is zooming on playback. NOT sequence settings.

[oliverf17293187]

I'm hoping someone can help here, as I've found nothing else online.

Usually my paused resolution is full, playback is 1/4 - however when scanning through the footage, or playing the clip - it zooms into the top left corner. If i pause the footage, it then zooms back out again. This happens in program preview, and in the source preview.

If I select playback resolution as full, it doesn't zoom. But if I put the playback resolution on 1/4 or 1/2 - it zooms in (even if I lower the paused resolution to match the playback resolution).

If I drag the marker along the timeline to see the footage, it also zooms in again - until I let go of the marker and it zooms back out.

Sequence settings match the footage. It doesn't happen once the footage has been rendered. I've tried 'scale to frame'. No luck with that either. Magnification is to fit. I've tried with a variety of codecs.

Can anyone help me with this?

(I've also tried re-installing Premiere, and checked drivers for updates)

Windows 10

Premiere 2017.1.2

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4900MQ CPU @ 2.80GHz

Nvidia GT730M

Same issue here. It happens to me when I try to edit my 10 bit GH5 footage. The playback of 8 bit footage works fine.

Same issue here. GH5 10bit 4k footage.

Running on latest Sierra version.

Mac Pro D700 Graphics, 32 GB, 3GHz 8-Core

Quite annoying.

For all of you on this thread, right-click your Program monitor to get the context-menu for the Program monitor, then in Playback Quality, select "High".

That should take care of this.

That did it! Thank you Neil.

Like being helpful ... we've all got work to do!

That solves the scaling issue, but high quality playback slows Premiere to a chug. It's okay for a stopgap, but is this something that will be fixed in the next update?

[R Neil Haugen]

No clue what the performance with the GH5 or any other media will be like. Are you using Cineform proxies for playback while editing? If not, you should. That create-proxy-on-ingest process is pretty slick and is designed expressly for this kind of issue.

That helped! I should probably be cutting with proxies anyway. Doubt my laptop will handle a full sized 4K project all that well.

[R Neil Haugen]

4k long-GOP media is a right ... bear ... for a computer to  work in PrPro. So yea, cutting with the proxies, and you can immediately have the full media for any quick checks you need to do ... works quite well.

Hi all,

We're aware of this issue and it will be fixed in an upcoming release.

Thanks,

Hi, I still have this problem on the 2021 release. Is it fix ?

Thank you

I've got the same problem with 10 Bit GH5 All-I HD material… Thanks!

[R Neil Haugen]

Is that the 10-bit mov out of the GH5?

Have you tried using AME to transcode a clip to Cineform or DNxHR, and tried that? It's a big help with the 'standard' 4k or 10-bit from the GH5, don't know how much difference it would be with the All-I stuff. But would be very interested to find out.
