ProRes Raw files are seeming unable to be played back on AMD GPUs using the latest PP 22.x + ProRes RAW 1.3 on Latest Windows 10 & 11.

There seems to be a bug that prevents the rendering of frames using GPU Acceleration using OpenCL that produces a console Error and results in audio playing but only a black screen for video:

After an upgrade to version 22.4.0 of Premiere, every time I launch the application and open a project, Premiere wants to re-create/re-generate the peak (.pek) files. So, I have some projects that have new peak files for every time I have loaded the project.
And recently, upon closing Premiere, I get a "Metadata writing in progress (194 files pending). If you quit before writing is complete, data will be lost. Are you sure you want to quit?"
Historically, I know this has popped up from time to time for others in other versions, but this is a first for me.

This is a Windows 10 system with 32GB RAM, dedicated video hard drives and cache drives. Cache is set to write metadata next to original files when possible. Otherwise, I have a dedicated area specified.

Please help!

M1 Mac : Issue on rendering interlaced video.

I do PAL SD video editing on Adobe Premiere with my M1 Pro MacBook Pro and I notice a strange issue when I playing my videos in deinterlace mode (Yadif x2 with VLC or Blend fields with Telestream Switch). Everytime a do an export of my project (whatever the format : ProRes 422 HQ, H264…), some video track desappears, some frame repeat twice and opacity mask and Ultrakey or Lumetri effects do glitches.

Most of the time I get different glitch or blink with each export for the same project, without any modification! (See images Export 1 / Export 2).

IMPORTANT : I've tried to export the same projects on a Windows 10 PC and on an Intel iMac (same version of Premiere and Media Encoder) and everything works great !

Things I've tried but change nothing :
- Export with Media Encoder
- Clean project cache
- Clean Premiere cache
- Inspect all my video files
- Use different project
- Use different export format
- Create new project
- Reinstall Premiere and Media Encoder
- Reinstall my system.

Some information about my workflow :
- Computer : MacBook Pro, M1 Pro model, with MacOS Monterey
- Software : Adobe Premiere version 22.1.2 (the latest at this day)
- File sources and export settings : Apple ProRes 422 HQ - 720x576 PAL SD, interlaced, top field first.

Precision : All files I use in my project are in the correct format and at the correct resolution. The blinks and glitches appears on any kind of sources : interlaced video or progressive PSD images.

I really hope you can fix this issue!
Thanks!

CPU (Ryzen 7 2700 @4ghz) shoots up to between 90 and 100%, and RAM fills up abnormally when playing back Fuji X-T4 footage in PP 22.0. Video decode on RTX 2080 Super seems unreasonably low with CUDA enabled, disabling CUDA doesn't change anything. Video playback gets stuck on starting frame, audio does keep playing, but things get so bogged down pressing pause doesn't actually pause things for about half a minute.

Rolling back to 15.4.2 makes things smooth as butter again. CPU sits at 5-8% usage, RAM doesn't shoot up much, and GPU's video decode is nice and active.

I'm using Windows 10, build 19042, and NVidea's Game Ready Driver version 496.49.

Footage is 4k, 10 bit 4.2.0, H.265 MOV, at 200 Mb/s, in various frame rates.

I hope this is enough to go on and hope I'll get to update to a fixed 22.1 soon. The updated features look promising :)

Updated to the latest version to discover they are forcing everyone to re-learn how to export,(Which now takes more clicks) and now literally playing back an h.264 4k file randomly plays the wrong parts of the clip!! I see in the waveform that there's NO talking, but the video and audio plays talking from a different part of the clip. It makes no sense. I'm stuck now trying to figure out how to deliver this video to the client on time, but literally can't even edit because it's not showing me the proper clip. Please, for the sake of all professional Editors stop introducing new features that no one asks for that ALWAYS breaks old features that EVERYONE NEEDS to work. PLEASE!!!

Since Premiere won't allow me to finish my paid client work, here are my options; switch to DaVinci or FCP.

I really want to like Premiere, but YEAR after YEAR, it's the same thing. Please listen to your paying customers. We pay 10x what other Editors pay to use Adobe software compared to other companies, please listen to us, STABILITY IS A NEED. You CANNOT implement new features if it breaks old features that are needed. Stop releasing new features that should be still in beta. How many years are you guys going to continue to do this to your customers? don't you see the thousands upon thousands of posts all over the internet complaining about Premiere's stability?

While I feel this forum can be helpful, I feel like the issue of implementing features and fixing bugs is not efficient enough. Not enough central communication. An example would be how some bugs take months to fix or even be addressed.

Email and forum post updates feel so robotic and disingenuous. Show us a human. Let us interact with them.

I feel a more efficient method would be to have a monthly live stream that editors can interact with and actually talk directly to the developers so fixes can be discussed. Maybe give updates on current fixes so users aren't kept in the dark, while hoping that a bug will be fixed in the next update. (Sometimes it isn't). I also feel this will allow the developers to understand how the user uses their programs. (a good example is the new export window. Not sure who approved that but no one likes it that i've talked to. Maybe the people approving these changes needs to be changed.)

I think some priorities might be skewed in directions most professional editors seem pointless. Like adding more features when priorities should be making Premiere stable and streamlined. Maybe I don't understand the behind-the-scenes development process, but I feel live communication with the community can clear this up. We are paying more money to use Adobe than most other Editing programs. I think that is why there are so many "passionate" comments in this forum.

Basically every time theres a new update, I feel the anxiety of something breaking and the program becoming even more challenging to use. And on top of that getting more frustrated knowing the bug may never be fixed or will take another 3 months to fix. When money and livelihoods are at risk, I feel this should be #1 priority over new features that aren't as important.

An example is now I can't use any of the transition add-ons I used to use in previous versions. They just don't show up in the M1 version of Premiere. And also I couldn't use most of Red Giant's presets either so I had to get rid of my subscription to them.

Please consider this! Thank you!

Premiere Pro CC 15.2 running on 2020 Mac Mini with 8GB RAM - MacOS Big Sur 11.4

Memory leak starts immediately and skyrockets after any edit, making editing impossible after just minutes. What this means is I have to restart Premiere after nearly every edit. Massive hit to productivity.

You can see in the attached screen recording, at one point tonight Premiere maxed out the 8GB memory and then used upwards of 12GB of Swap Memory, which also negatively affects the lifespan of the non-replaceable SSD in this computer.

Fix this ASAP.

Linking to video since the screen recording was apparently too large to attach.

When clicking in the timeline to move the playhead, more often than not, there is no response/nothing happens, until I wait around 3-4 seconds and click, often multiple times, where I'd like the playhead to move to. This happens almost every time that I click in the timeline to move my playhead. The bug appears to be worse when using an external display (both via the dedicated HDMI port [16-inch M1 Max] and also via DisplayLink with a docking station).

Alt-dragging items in the timeline also seems to have a bug. When I alt+drag a clip, Premiere doesn't duplicate the item the first time around - it simply moves the original item in the timeline. Then I have to put it back, alt+drag again, and THEN the element gets duplicated. I have never experienced this bug before with alt+dragging things around [previous machines have all been Intel Macs].

It doesn't sound like much, but when your workflow is slowed down by 5-6 seconds every time you try and click something, or try to perform a basic action and have to repeatedly try to do the same thing over and over until it works, it quickly becomes a very unpleasant editing experience.

Finally, there is a weird 'lack of response' when clicking in the Effects Controls panel, to expand effects such as Motion / Opacity / Gaussian Blur etc (the bug happens with all effects). When clicking the expand arrow to the left of an effect, nothing happens - even when clicking 5 or 6 times. The only solution I've found is to wait 4-5 seconds and click again - only then does the panel expand. Again, never experienced this with Intel Mac.

Adobe, please fix these bugs!
