Video freezes after every cut in multicam editing – Premiere Pro 25.6.1.6 on Mac Studio M4
. Hello Adobe Community, I am experiencing a persistent video playback issue in Premiere Pro 25.6.6 while working on a multicamera editing project. System configuration: Apple Mac Studio M4, Adobe Premiere Pro 25.6.1.6, Apple ProRes 422 LT, 1920 × 1080, 25 FPS, central SAN storage via Thunderbolt. During multicam editing, the video freezes after applying a cut in the timeline, while the audio continues playing normally. The video starts playing again when I disable and re-enable the video clip in the timeline. However, the same issue occurs again at the next cut. This problem occurs on multiple Mac systems with the same project. I also tested the footage by copying it to the Mac's internal SSD, but the issue persisted. Troubleshooting steps already tried: reduced playback resolution to half and quarter, cleared the Premiere Pro media cache, tested the footage on both SAN storage and the internal SSD, tested a new project, tried rendering the timeline using Render In to Out, checked the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Metal) setting, and tested disabling/re-enabling the video clips, but none of these steps resolved the issue. Questions: Is this a known issue with multicamera editing in Premiere Pro 25.6.1.6? Could this be related to multicam playback, frame decoding, or GPU acceleration? Are there any recommended settings or workarounds to prevent video freezing after cuts? Could this be a software bug in Premiere Pro? Iwas try 26.3.1 getting same issue
