Glad it helped.

If indeed your issue is/was GPU/CUDA related you may pinpoint it by checking at time of problem occurrence:

A1. Change/Update in GPU drivers (~or roll back to previous week)
A2. Change/Update in Premiere Version. (“~”)

Many times, the time consuming process of downloading many drivers (either previous Sub version ie. 395.75 and not 395.78 or Previous Version ie. 394.83 not 395.78), may help to get a stable platform, at least for your current workflow.

A good practice is to have auto-updating of drivers, software and OS disabled. That can raise your chances of isolating update related issues.

Have no clue about the picker, given that it worked till previous week (together with masks) i would try:

B1. disable GPU accelerations, or steps A1, A2
B2. make sure both my monitors run at the same Resolution.

People running OSX and Dual Monitor Setups with different resolutions have reported such issues. Usually the offset is the difference in resolution, which can be measurable with a screenshot and Photoshop Ruler in Pixels.

Definitely a silly coding fault, but they happen, often. So:

B3. Set both your monitors in the same resolution (even if you have to lower one’s) to see whether problem persists, if the resolution change is not that much (ie. 1920×1200 vs 1920×1080, which is about a vertical inch on a 24 monitor) and solves the problem, keep it.

And after doing all this you could have a guide of what to do and keep working till the problem is solved.

sounds very strange, i would start like this:

1. check tool in a new project, or with a project that worked in the past, or a new sequence.

2. check if any effects applied to clip or adjustment layers interfere.

3. turn gpu acceleration on/off, it had and still has many weird issues.

i always reply even to old posts, when they are not resolved, so that future google visitors can find the solution.

stopped working should be more specific in order to troubleshoot.

Hello there,

The Ingest Preset is A Preset containing/pointing to/based on a Media Encoder Preset. I had same confusion with you.

steps needed:

1. Note your footage Dimensions / Ratio and Launch Media Encoder, from there:
2. Create A Normal Media Encoder Preset (Ctrl+N) of your choice (H264, MFX etc.) with same Resolution or Same Ratio , and framerate.
3. Name it Your_Camera_Type_Proxy (just end with the word Proxy, you will use it later)
4. Create an Ingest Preset (Ctrl+Alt+N) Choose Name Your_Camera_Type_Proxy
5. If you do all steps as written here the last preset will be selected, otherwise choose it with ingest dialog.
6. Add/Browse either a copy or transcode path. Premiere will ask you again dor export location anyway.
7. Click ok
8. Go to Preset Browser, type Proxy in the Search box, both your Ingest and Normal Preset will appear.
9. Right Click the Ingest Preset and Select Export Presets.
10. save the .epr file ie. in Desktop
11. In Premiere Ingest Dialog, click add preset and point to .epr file in Desktop.
12. Done

You can also select it as a default ingest premiere within Project Settings in Adobe Premiere.
