Trouble editing on Mac Studio?

I'm writing this as a quick survey of Premiere users experiencing difficulties with editing on Mac Studios.

Fundamentally, Premiere (now v23) runs on my Mac Studio M1 Max (32 cores, 32gb RAM) as it should but it just keeps hanging for many seconds, sometimes up to 15 seconds, to respond to play or for a change to have effect and that to be shown in the Program Monitor. So you make a change in Lumetri then wait for the visual change to show up or a speed change or even a simple cut. If it does keep hanging, you can prompt it with by pressing save. (Why would that be?)

Mostly the footage is 4K 25fps from our Sony FX6, A7SIII, DJI Air 2S cameras (often long GOP). Yes, I know, this is hard media to process but it does not present an issue in Davinci Resolve. I also get repeated error messages around frame retrieval and frame substition recursion.

Do others have the same issue with footage from the same cameras or other cameras? If you're working on an M1 mac and it runs fine, let me know as well. Should I upgrade to a Mac Studio Ultra for the extra processing power?

I've posted about this before and now put in a bug request for this to be looked at in Adobe Premiere's User Voice forum. Thanks!

Hi Afterglow,

Apologies for the performance issues. I don't think you're alone in experiencing poor performance with this heavy-duty format in Premiere Pro. Thanks for letting the team know by filing the bug. Could you give us the link so we can upvote? I hope they can solve it for you ASAP. I can look at my M1 for a sanity check if you post a sample clip.

Hopefully, some of the other hardware "heads" will chime in.

Thanks,
Kevin
