The comfort of cutting and editing is lost

The core of Premiere Pro, "comfortable cutting and editing," is sacrificed with each new version.

The most important thing is that editing "runs smoothly." Professional tools like Premiere Pro should prioritize the following above all else:

- "comfortable operation"

- "fast editing response"

- "UI that responds to the user's intuition."

 

However, in recent years, since v24,

- the drawing of the timeline playhead becomes heavy

- tracking during shuttle movement becomes sluggish

- scrolling and zooming get stuck

- captions and AI transcription continue to run in the background

 

these elements are affecting the user's editing rhythm to a level that "breaks the rhythm of editing."

I think Adobe is actively adding AI and automation features, but at the same time, it seems that "UI drawing and core engine optimization" are being put on the back burner. Could you please reconsider the priorities?

@sgsgsh I moved your post from the Ideas section to Bugs. If you're seeing a performance decrease from v24.x to v25.x, that's a bug that we'd like to get more information about. I understand that you're saying that you experience this in several places in the application but would you be willing to give us more specific information, perhaps using one example of a slow-down you experience? I'd much appreciate you responding with the information requested here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-bugs/how-do-i-write-a-bug-report/idi-p/13361863

 

If you'd prefer, we can also get on a video call to see what you're seeing; send me a DM if you'd like to do that. I'd be happy to have one of my Japanese-speaking colleagues join us. 

 

Regards,

Fergus
