  • Premiere CS6 cant do a dissolve, can Premiere CC do this?

    Posted by Paul King on July 29, 2013 at 2:10 pm

    Premiere Pro CS6 can not do a simple dissolve with the mercury engine GPU enabled. Adobe released the software knowing this was a bug in CS5, then in CS5.5 and again in CS6. Every video editor out there can do this, it’s a basic requirement for an editor.

    Test it yourself. Place a black video on V1. Put a title over the top in V2 and add a dissolve at the beginning. Park the CTI on the second frame of the dissolve. Turn the mercury engine from CPU to GPU and back again, and have a look at the difference in level.

    Dissolves are not linear with the GPU on. Adobe told customers to go out and purchase expensive graphics cards for Premiere, without warning of this bug.

    So, are you asking how to solve this problem as a question, or are you just trying to trash Premiere Pro’s reputation? These forums are generally to help people out who are having specific problems on specific systems (I notice you’re also not listing any of your OS or hardware specs).

    If this were a specific problem occurring on all OS and hardware combinations, people would be marching in the streets! I’ve been using PPro CS4, 5, 5.5, and 6 on WinXP, Vista 64, and Win 7 and have been doing dissolves without a single problem on all of the above.

    Maybe you just need to know how to set up your system:

    Wow! He may be right!

    Crap…now I’ve got to go back on every program where I’ve had the playhead stop at the 2nd frame of a dissolve and figure out a way to have that dissolve run with the Mercury engine turned off.

    I’m sure I’ve done it hundreds of times.

    Steve I dont understand your post, are you being facetious?

    This issue gets visibly worse the longer the dissolve is.

    Ah yeah…..

    Someone with editing experience?

    Wow.

    Paul, no one is doubting that you have a valid issue. Perhaps it’s the way you reacted to the first person who attempted to assist. You started that ball rolling, and it may not stop. We all know that you are upset about the switch to a subscription model, but do you have to take out your frustrations on someone attempting to help you?

    I’m not going to test your situation for two reasons – first, I don’t care about what a dissolve looks like as I click forward frame-by-frame. Second, because of your attitude.

    Steve

    Joseph is not attempting to do anything except contrary.
    We have a history and he brought to this thread – it’s unwelcome and unhelpful.

    This is not an issue picked up while scrubbing, it was observed during edits and diagnosed while scrubbing.

    Adobe are well aware of this issue. It was brought up in the beta ve CS5, CS5.5 and CS6. They chose to ignore it.

    Attitude or no, it’s a major quality flaw of the CUDA engine.
    You can ignore it if you want, at least your client will see it.

    Thanks Paul –

    Now I can ignore your previous posts and your belligerent attitude having the proper information. Have a nice life…

    Joseph, this IS a known, ongoing issue. For me, most noticeable when fading out titles – they start to fade down, and towards the end just kind of disappear without smoothly fading all the way down to black. The last several frames, opacity drops rather abruptly. Only with CUDA enabled.

    Put a white title over a black background, 30 frame dissolve and try it!
