Hi @MCYV567

 

Welcome to the Premiere Pro forums and thank you for reporting a problem. 

 

What is the RAM allocation for Premiere Pro under Preferences > Memory? Is this happening with specific projects or media, or can you see this happening in an empty project? 

 

Do you have any third-party plugins or panels installed? Even if FX are muted, are there any specific effects applied? 

 

Sorry for the frustration, 
Dani
