Severe Performance Drops and System Freezes in Premiere Pro 2025 Under Heavy Workloads

I am experiencing serious performance issues in Premiere Pro 2025 during heavy editing sessions. The application becomes extremely slow, frequently freezes, and sometimes stops responding entirely. These performance problems occur even in standard workflows and make the software unstable for professional use.

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver).

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.
