Playback freezes before cuts
Issue - playback freezes for about 3-6 frames immediately before a simple cut in the sequence. I think it’s happening before the cut, not after.
Reproduce - place simple clips in sequence, trim the clips down, place more than one clip. I’m working in 4096x2160, 23.976 progressive. The footage is XAVC S codec from a Sony FX6. I’m playing off a Samsung T7, which should be plenty of read speed for 240 Mbps footage.
Expected result - playback should be smooth; no frame drops.
Actual result - playback holds on the same frame for 1/8th to 1/4th of a second.
Screen recording - this is available privately. It’s an unreleased film, and I cannot show any of the footage publicly.
Adobe Premiere Pro version - 26.0.1
Operating system - Windows 11 25H2, build 26200.7840
GPU driver version - Nvidia RTX 5070, 591.86
Video format - the footage is XAVC S codec from a Sony FX6.
Comparative info… I have not noticed this stutter with my other PrPro 26 projects. This has been happening since I promoted the .prproj from 2025 to 2026. I have tried it with/without hardware-accelerated decoding. I have tried it at different playback (Program monitor) resolutions. I have tried it in different sequence resolutions. Playback is otherwise fine; it’s just the cuts that stutter.
In the meantime, I’ll try to dump the footage to an internal SSD and scan the external drive with Samsung tools.
