Locked tracks and layers cause major timeline lag
I am running Premiere Pro 23.5 on Windows 11. I have a Threadripper CPU, a 4080 GPU, 64 GB of RAM, and I use proxies. I make 5 minute wedding videos with 2 songs on 2 seperate tracks and about 5 or 6 dialogue tracks. Learning from my past mistakes, it is habit for me to lock all tracks and video layers I am not currently editing for risk of accidently deleting a major part or accidently moving a carefully edited song throwing off all the creatively edited music. When tracks are locked, clicking around the timeline is delayed, zoom in and out of timeline is lagged, and during playback, the playhead stutters down the timeline even though the video playback itself is smooth. It is frustrating to risk an accidental major mistake just to free up the editing process to be a smooth experience. Any ideas?
