Premiere Pro CC 2015 Major Playback Issue
I’ve just installed the new version of Premiere CC 2015. It is a demo copy for now, until I can pay for a yearly license in a few days. I’m on a Macbook Pro Retina, late 2013 model.
I was editing a project in PP CC 2014, then updated to the demo 2015, and now I am getting an issue with the playback monitors. I have attached an example image.
The funny thing is, playback is fine. When I play the timeline, it plays fine. Just when I stop/pause, it gives me the distorted screen as shown above. I have tried exporting, and unfortunately the error is contained throughout the exported file (tried Prores and mp4 h264).
I have tried re-rendering preview files, as well as changing the preview format from i-mpeg to QT h264. Still the issue persists.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Just as a note, I am not connected to any external tape capturing devices or anything of the sort. Just me and my laptop.
Thanks in advance,
Ben

You upgraded to El Capitan. As a workaround you might want to turn off the GPU accelerated Mercury Playback Engine in the project settings.

Thanks, worked. What a bumber. Any downsides to not using GPU accelerated Mercury Playback Engine? I’m hoping the issue will be solved asap…
I’ve put it onto ‘Software Only’. Cheers for the help!

Just a protip for the future: Never ever upgrade a Mac OS before the developers of the software you use say it’s OK.

Lesson learned, thanks.
So far, cons easily outweigh the benefits of upgrading to OSX El Capitan.
