Question

Timeline glitch when scaling video, layer below disappears

When I have a video, scaled up, the layer below disappears after it reaches a certain scale. Why is this happening how do I fix it?

Below I've recreated the steps to duplicate the issue. I've created a new project using different combinations of footage and color mattes. It seems to happen around the 123-130 scale range.

 

Step 1 

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

 

Step 5

 

Adobe Premiere Pro 2022 version 22.2.0 (Build 128)

PC: i9 9900k, 2080ti, 64g ram, hard drives are set up with separate program drive, storage drive, export drive.

Step 1 - My timeline scenario
Step 2 - Moved selected video clip up a video layer/track

Step 3 - Place color matte/video clip on the layer/track below

Step 4 - Begin to scale on video layer/track 2, stopped at 128 to show its visible at this scale

Step 5 - Scales past 128 to 129, to show when the layer below disappears

I'm having this exact problem. Did you ever discover a solution?
I placed a bright yellow color matte layer below my footage to use as reference. This allows me to scale and move my footage around and if I see any yellow showing through, then I know I've moved or scaled my footage smaller than the frame. If I scale my footage to 110 then move its position up, the yellow color matte doesn't appear until the footage's y position is about 803. This only seems to happen if the footage is centered horizontally. If I move the footage left 24 pixels or right 193 pixels when the color matte isn't visible, the color matte will become visible 

 

When the color matte isn't visible (black) and I select it on the timeline, it becomes yellow in the Program Monitor. Additionally, if I rotate the footage when the color matte isn't visible, it becomes yellow. Hopefully the video will better explain it. I used the color bars as my sample footage, and I selected "Anchor Point" so you can see the outline of the footage layer.

@Ishan Y 
Moving the Profile folder didn't make a difference.
I have the most recent driver update for my GPU. .

 

The problem seems related to scaling the top clip as seen in my attached screen recording. When the yellow color matte's scale is 100, it shows behind the color bars when I move them upward. However, when the yellow color matte's scale is 110, it doesn't show behind the color bars until the bottom of the color bars is moved up well past where the matte should be visible. Moving the color bars horizontally affects the matte's visibility as well.


Any thoughts?
