Premiere Captions make playback choppy/lagging
Hi there,
for this project I'm working on, I have to add subtitles to each clip.
Whenever I add subtitles to the sequence (via the essential graphics tab), the playback has micro-stutters every 1-2 seconds (video freezes for about 15-20 frames, then keeps playing). Audio plays back normally.
It's literally impossible to properly work like this.
As soon as i delete the subtitles from the top of the sequence, it plays back smoothly.
Technical Info:
- Adobe Premiere Pro version number: v 24.5
- OS: Mac OS Sonoma 14.5
- System Info: Mac Studio 22, Apple M1 Max Chip, 32GB RAM, and we are working on an EditShare server, connected via Thunderbolt 10gbit/s
- Video Format: 4K 4:2:2 10 Bit, mk2 MXF Files (Canon C300 Mark III, Canon C60), Proxies in Apple ProRes LT
- Workflow details: We work mainly in Multicam Sequences with 2 cameras and an external audio recorder
- Steps to reproduce: I just setup a fresh project, imported all the files (about 3TB), and created Multicam Sequences for each day of filming. Then i put these Multicams into source monitor and created select cuts into new sequences.
Things I tried to fix this:
- resetting cache/preferences
- importing the whole Project into a fresh one
- flatten all the Multicam Clips in the edit sequence
- make offline and relink all the footage and proxies
My workaround for now has been pre-rendering the sequences to see if everything looks okay.
This is no solution tho, since everytime I make a change after pre-rendering, it stutters again at that spot.
Also this takes too much time.
Of course I could add the subtitles as a very last step but then i would still end up with that choppy playback.
Please fix this bug.
Kind regards,
Philipp
