CS5.5 Clips Not Fading to/from Smoothly

Same horrible problem, on CS6 Mac here. Hope it’s fixed in CC.

Many claim that it not a bug at all. Rather a normal way in which GPU Acceleration deals with the dissolve. What? This is normal? Might be normal to some, but certainly unacceptable to me. I’m trying to do professional work here and Adobe simply doesn’t allow it to be done with the use of a CUDA card. So I turn off GPU and render in software mode for all final renders as well as approval files. Turns a ten minute render into an hour long render.

And to Will…. You hope CC handles it better? I am of the opinion that every single Adobe Premiere cs6 customer gets a free upgrade to CC. Adobe will get NO MORE of my money. This I assure you.

Also, on a side note, someone mentioned seeing the issue in software mode. In my experience, this happened when checking “Render at Maximun Quality” Who in their right mind wouldn’t be rendering at the highest quality for final master!

This whole thing just sickens me and Adobe should be stepping up to the plate!

I may have solved this one, which really p*ssed me off. I feel your pain.

Problem:
My default dissolves (out of black and back to black) in the timeline preview (“render selected”) looked fine.
But in a rendered MOVIE, instead of smoothly going up from IRE 0 to 100, the highlights cut in at 30 and went up to 100. Vice versa on the way out: slow from 100 down to 30 then cut. In other words, the dissolves had a flatter slope and cut in/out at 30 instead of 0.

But there may be a solution:
Yes, turn off GPU.
But ALSO generate rendered previews for the whole timeline. “Render in to out.” (yeah, it’s stupid.)
THEN, in the render dialog, at the bottom, select “use Previews.” (I also had max quality and frame blending selected.)
Render (Export media).

Seems to work. Smooth dissolves.
No slower than doing a GPU-free render without rendering in to out.

Let me know if it works, if anyone’s still having this problem.
