1. Re: Upgrade from NVidia to AMD GPU, Premiere Crashes when using imported video clips
dean.p Dec 31, 2013 6:02 PM (in response to dean.p)Just another update. I just tried After Effects, and this functions properly (although comes up with a Warning that Ray-Tracing will use the CPU as there is not an approved Nvidia card with Cuda). Video import and playback is fine.
Another few tests in Premiere. If I create a sequence, create a new 'Black Video' item, drag it to the timeline, then slide the playhead over the video, Premiere Crashes. Tried the same with just an imported JPG, Premiere Crashes.
I just created a new project in Premiere. Waited for 20 sec, no crash. Imported a Jpg to my project (no sequence created, didn't try and preview the jpg or anything), about 2 seconds later, Premiere Crashed.

2. Re: Upgrade from NVidia to AMD GPU, Premiere Crashes when using imported video clips
dean.p Dec 31, 2013 6:12 PM (in response to dean.p)Temporary Fix!
A bit more playing around, and found that it looks as though by importing a jpeg, Premiere would crash as it tried to display the preview (in the project tab).
I went into my project settings (file > project settings > general) and changed the 'Video Rendering and Playback' from 'Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelleration (OpenCL)' to 'Mercury Playback Engine Software Only'. Videos and Jpegs now playback fine, Premiere does not crash.
This is looking more like an AMD Driver issue as I have a similar problem in Photoshop in which I have to turn GPU acceleration off otherwise Photoshop experiences huge lag when painting (I'm a professional Illustrator).

JSS1138 Jan 1, 2014 11:20 AM (in response to dean.p)I think moving from nVidia to AMD is more of a downgrade than an upgrade, at least where Adobe tools are concerned. Hopefully that will change in the future and OpenCL will perform as well or ideally even better than CUDA, but for now...
