Premiere Pro CONSTANTLY Freezing with Sufficient Specs (Upgraded to RTX 5090)
I recently upgrade my computer to a RTX 5090 and have been experiencing a lot of playback and rendering issues within Premiere pro specifically. I've already done a lot of trouble shooting to make sure i do not have overlapping drivers (removing drivers with DDU while in safemode) and I made sure all of my drivers are up to date, even installing the newest available studio drivers that Nvidia offers. I'll put a full spec list down below.
Problem:
I have been editing for years without these major issues, so I'm assuming my issue is related to my recent GPU upgrade or it's drivers. Whenever I'm editing a video and watching it back on the timeline, it will randomly freeze on one of the frames I was on and stay like that for upwards of 2 minutes until it catches up or I get impatient and try to restart the program. It feels as if my computer is hitching or trying to catch up. I read online that if I switched the video renderer to OpenCL instead of CUDA, it may help and would indicate there is a driver issue. While this is a work around, this makes my playback extremely skippy/laggy due to it not using the GPU. I then go to try to render the video and it will start the render, but somewhere in the middle of the render, it will get completely stuck and stop rendering, although the footage it's rendering is not hardware intensive at all. The way I'm currently working around this is to transfer all my files to a different computer via google drive desktop and then render it there, where render times are fine, and no freezes happen. Also, one last issue i'm constantly running into is that whenever the program is in this "hitching/freezing" state, it is IMPOSSIBLE to fully close out of the program. I will open task manager and force close it and it will still not close. I have to click the power button on my pc and then cancel the shutdown in order for it to close and then it will still be open in the background, stuck at whatever the memory bandwidth was at when it was first shutdown, until the computer is fully restarted. This makes it extremely difficult to relaunch the program normally cause my computer is thinking it's still active I guess(50/50 chance it will launch). please help me. I'm on the latest version of drivers, and adobe software as well.
I do use a decent amount of extensions, which I will list here: (I don't think extension effect anything, but I could be wrong)
- Film Impacts
- Excalibur
- VideoVault3
