Premiere CC 2018 Threadripper bad scrubbing performance

I was arguing in may 2018 with some user here about how antiquated Premiere pro and that we will reach a point where even tablets will beat massive workstations built for Adobe by Pugetsystems and other companies, well, it seems that time is now

I tried to edit an ENTIRE video on iPad Pro... - YouTube

So, Ipad pro can cut  4k footage, flawlessly from A7III and on PC you need at least octacore, 32gb ram, powerful GPU and after all that  scrubbing is bad.

This is absurd, there is no point in talking about hardware needs for Adobe, it's all about when this software will get an actual update.

Any updates with the latest version of Adobe? I am about to build a 1950x / 1080ti system and I am wondering of its better now?

I ran the PPBM benchmark on the new version 13.0.1 using the PPBM12-1 project (don't know if it's OK ? or wrong ?)

On my Threadripper 1950X and GTX 1080Ti I got the result : 186","46","13","132"

MPE gain of 132/13=10,2 (don't know what it means ?)

The bad scrubbing for me seems to be mainly with .mxf files. I was digging through some old stock vision today that was shot an a Sony Z7. It was recorded in HDV 1080/25psf, when I used to work with this Long GOP format I had no choice but to transcode. But with the Threadripper and GTX1080ti I can scrub with zero effort or lag, I can J,K,L at multiple times fwd and reverse. It really is smooth. And when I exported a straight clip with NO effects to h.264, the GPU showed 100% usage and CPU 70% usage and 50% of RAM (32 out of 64GB) From this I can tell that the computer and Premiere can work together really well, but for me, the .mxf's are Premieres achilles heel.

Yesterday I did a live support chat with Adobe regarding the dropped frame issue. I work with .mxf HD files, both inter-frame and intra-frame. The Long GOP is where Premiere is having troubles. After the usual trouble shooting, he advised that I transcode my .mxf to and .mp4, (I know that is not a solution, but I did as requested). No surprise, the .mp4 played fine with no dropped frames. When I mentioned that it was not a solution, as .mp4 only supports 2 channel audio plus a bunch of other reasons, he wrote this "Premiere pro support mxf files but having know issue with mxf files. Our engineering department is working on this concern to fix the issue Thank you. DO not worry Mark I will pass this concern be half of you to my engineering department to get it fixed in next update."

I guess we wait for this update...

I submitted a bug/feature for this here : Better Threadripper Support – Adobe video & audio apps 

Throw some votes on it if you want!

Here are my results from the Benchmark "86","44","13","135", Premiere Version:, 12.1.2.69

My specs are :

AMD Threadripper 1950x

GTX 1080 TI

64gb RAM

1 M.2 SSD for System

1 SSD for Media

While working with footage (1080p) from the A7s I have dropped frames during playback with straight out of the camera footage (no effects) My timeline was made from the same settings as the source footage.

Can someone tell me whats going on?

why premiere is so bad??

is not possibile that i create a monster pc configuration (1950x 16 core...64 gb) and all of us have problem with the playback that result jerk and chobby...

Adobe wake up!!!

My specs are 1950x with 1080ti boot drive is M.2 nvme 960 Pro 32GB of RAM Trident Z 3000mhz I still have problems with Premiere crashing all the time. I use the ryzen power plan for Windows. I use the boot drive to run premiere and I run my scratch disk off a regular SSD WD blue. I found that making separate bins for all my media music and timeline has stop Premiere from freezing up. I am still having quite a few issues with type sinking and Premiere freezing up. I am amazed that you can buy such a Enthusiast CPU and have such issues with a program. Are there any settings I can change or am I doing something wrong.
