Premiere Pro 13.0.2 Random White Lines on Program Window and Output When Using Metal

Premiere Pro 13.0.2 shows random flashing lines on the Program window and it also shows on the Blackmagic Design output when selecting Metal in Project Settings/General/Video Rendering and Playback/Renderer.

In this case, I need to click on the wrench in the Program window and select "High Quality Playback". All tears and white lines are gone.

If I select "Open CL" in the Project Settings, all is fine no matter if "High Quality Playback" is turned on or not.

Metal on my machine because it exports 1min. of HD material in 25sec. Open CL exports the same 1min. in 28sec. so a little slower.  Software only is terribly slow at 1min.42sec.

I do not "Enable Display Color Management" as it makes Premiere crash all the time.

After Upgrading Adobe Premiere Pro CC Version 13.0 (October 15, 2018), Do Rescan and Enable Audio Plug-ins

For those of you upgrading to the new Premiere CC available today Oct 15, 2018, remember to Scan and Enable your Audio Plug-ins.

I use Audio Filters bundled with Premiere and I also use a bunch of Audio Units plug-ins from macOS (AU) and plug-ins from different vendors (AU, VST.)

When updating Premiere, all non-Adobe plug-ins are disabled by default, which might lead to a "Audio Filter Missing" message on loading a previous Project:

I had a missing Audio Filter in my Project, showing as "Offline".

Turns out, the missing Filter is the AU Multiband Compressor, which is a macOS Audio Filter. (I still have the previous version of Premiere and I opened my original Project to see what was missing.)

With this confirmation, this is how to turn these plug-ins back on:

 Go to Premiere Pro/Preferences/Audio. Click on Audio Plug-in Manager.

Click on Scan for Plug-ins, and then click Enable All (or select plug-ins individually) and Click OK.

That's it! Now all your "external" audio plug-ins will appear in Premiere Pro Audio Filters Menu.

AME Background Encoding Pauses When Playing Premiere Pro Timeline

I like to Export my screeners via Adobe Media Encoder (Queue) so I can continue to work on my Premiere Timeline.

Yes, I can do that, dandy as it is, but NO!, it does not work because as soon as I playback my Premiere Timeline, AME puts itself in full PAUSE mode. 

And waits until I'm not playing back in Premiere to resume encoding.

Darn it!!

Now if I just edit and stuff, it works, full encoding in the background. Scrubbing is fair game, it continues to encode while scrubbing the Timeline, but no playback allowed. Changing the Playback relolution to 1/2 or 1/4 doesn't help.

Is it just me? Is there a setting for this? Or ...what??

Aaarrg! I wish Premiere would share the resources instead of sucking everything out of AME to a full stop.

Have a great WE y'all!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!

Do you realize it's Friday 3pm mothafooger?! I'll rip your heart out!!!
