25.2 Horrible Playback Lag

Hi I have just updated to 25.2 and opened my current project. Playback is incredibly laggy, even with proxies and at 1/2 resolution, a MASSIVE difference from yesterday when I was working on this project in 25.1. I can't even play through a basic cross dissolve between two clips, or a keyframed opacity on a single clip. Won't play just jumps ahead once it has caught up.

 

My Windows Task Manager shows Premiere using 30-60% of the GPU conducting "video decode" processes for the last 20-ish minutes since I opened the project, which I'm assuming has something to do with it. And like 65% of RAM. That's happening even while I the program is sitting in idle.

 

Does this have something to do with the new content search and analyzing of clips? If so, is there a way to turn it off? This is just a guess.

Same issue happening here in ultra 9 285k processor and rtx 4080 super, last driver.

Playback and encoding is very very slow. The worst is with h.265 from mavic 3, tt seams that premiere can't decode it properly (lot of glich visible and the playback is totaly impossible).

I had to go back with 25.1

Hi @Mattie P. -  Can you try and hold down "SHIFT" while launching Premiere and check the boxes
"Reset app preferences" (Backup Preferences first)
"Clear media cache files"
"Reset plugin loading cache"
"Disable third-party plugins (one-time only)"

 

Let us know if that helps your issue.

Thanks for the quick reply @jamieclarke . I have the latest NVIDIA Studio Driver installed - 572.83.

 

Audio Hardware Default Input is indeed set to No Input.

 

Yes a couple plugins: Insta360 Reframe, FilmConvertPro, and NeatVideo. No panels.

 

Thanks.

Hi @Mattie P. -  Thanks for submitting your bug report. We need a few more details to try to help with the issue.
Please see, How do I write a bug report?

 

Can you check your audio hardware settings and make sure Default Input is set to "No Input"

Do you have any third party panels, or plugins installed?

Can you try and hold down "SHIFT" while launching Premiere and check the boxes
"Clear media cache files"

Sorry for the frustration.
