I’m no Dan Ebberts, but I would add a second animator for Opacity, set Opacity to 0%, with End 100% and add an expression for Start to randomize or wiggle.

Wow, if Dan can’t figure this one out, there is no hope! (-;

Seriously, has anyone come up with a solution for this? I need to match a bunch of 3D text into static shots of a city … there MUST be a way, given 4 points, to calculate the focal length / position of a camera … no??

Maybe some way to use the 3D motion tracker … ?

I just know there is some math out there that would accomplish this.

You’re kidding, right?

Turns out a bunch of people are having this issue on the Adobe forum.

I just finished a chat with Adobe Tech Support.
After 3 hours of diddling around my machine, he finally said “sorry, I need to to escalate this, we’ll be in touch within 48 hours.”

What a colossal waste of time.

I wish Adobe would try to make things STABLE and actually WORK and FIX BUGS
before releasing exotic new features that will get used by nearly no one

I don’t know if Adobe is reading >this<, but they are reading this:

GREAT NEWS, “NVIDIA has isolated the issue…” see link above

The new CUDA 7, on 10.9.5, WITHOUT RUNNING CHROME, seems to work quite well.

There is a lot more info on this issue at

Did you reboot after installing the new driver?

You should..

nvidia just released a new CUDA driver: https://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cuda-7.0.29-driver.html

LOL. Hilarious! ROTF

From the Adobe thread:

Hi All,

Thank you for offering your help to Adobe and other users. This is much appreciated. I’m sorry your experiencing this screen corruption issue.

We have been able to reproduce this issue and now we’re trying to determine the cause. Unfortunately this is not a simple process and we’re working closely with our partners to provide a fix as soon as possible.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience. We’ll post updates as soon as they come.

This is a copy from the other thread, but thought I’d post here too:

I may have found something…

I was about to take my machine in to Apple for service, but before doing so I thought I’d try running Premiere in a ‘clean’ use account.

So I made a new (admin) account, copied over some project files, and launched Premiere.

I set the project to CUDA, started ‘working’, and immediately noticed some differences: playback would start much faster, rendering started faster, less jerkiness in playback. And I was not getting any of the glitchiness. I had other issues besides the glitchiness, like clips dropped in dynamically from Ae would not update unless I manually switched over to Ae, and these things went away.

I didn’t really spend several hours actually working, but it seems much smoother. Made me think the issue was due to ‘gunked up’ settings etc over months of work.

So I (backed up and) wiped my drive, clean installed Yosemite (I was on Mavericks before), set up CC etc. But after copying over all my settings, including downloading settings from Adobe, the performance was twitchy again. Bummer.

I created a fresh account again, and again, in the new account, Premiere performed much better. Even complex speed ramps and Ae clips played back incredibly fast in real time, better than I’ve seen in months.

I won’t know for sure until I spend a day editing, but it might be that a lot of these issues stem from corruption or some kind in the user settings.

So I went back to my original account, and deleted EVERYTHING with the word ‘adobe’ or ‘premiere’ within my User folder (including ~/Library and ~/Documents). The performance is now similar to that of the ‘clean’ account.

So far it’s working rather well … I will report back after spending more time.

Maybe some other can test this out and report back … try a fresh account, and if you notice a difference, go back to your main account and delete (or put aside) all the Adobe stuff in your ~ folder. DO NOT SYNC SETTINGS from Adobe servers.

If, like me, you absolutely need your custom keyboard shortcuts, you can manually copy the .kys files from
~/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/8.0/Profile-CreativeCloud/Mac/
