What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

The "Stencil" effect on transition screens is missing in all Hardware renderers, instead presenting a plain red (or grey) screen.
Fails in OpenGL, Direct3D 11, Direct 3D 12, Vulkan. Works in Software Renderer.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Enter a story cutscene (grey) or a 'change location' loading screen (red).

Start a new game and play through the tutorial boss fight. When the boss is at half health, you will enter a cutscene via a grey transition.
To get to a quickly reproducible state:

• Complete the tutorial boss fight, then save the game at the first opportunity.
• Exit the save screen / load this save game to trigger a 'red' transition (into a cutscene).
• At the end of this cutscene it triggers a 'grey' transition into the next cutscene (You can also press start to skip to the next cutscene, which still triggers the 'grey' transition).

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Yes, 5.0-17467.

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

Yes, 5.0 Stable.

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

First broken in 4.0-7630.
Last working in 4.0-7626.

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

Windows 11 x64, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor, MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 16GB (2x 8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 RAM.

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

Save game / save state.
