2019 Extremely Bad performance with Multicam Sequence (TheadRipper 1950x)

2018 was running very very good for me.  Was excited for some of the new tools in 19 so I upgraded the other day.  First few projects I did were a bit laggy in the timeline but I was in a 4k timeline and didn't think much of it.  Until yesterday I was trying to work with a Multicam sequence.  It is a mix of 4k and 1080 on a 1080 timeline.  It will not even run.  It reminds me of trying to edit on my a cheap laptop 8 years ago.  So I gave up.  Went back to 2018 and set up exactly the same way.  Super smooth playback.  Even at full resolution.   Both of these examples were with upgraded projects from 2018.  Do I need to start an new 2019 project?  Also the 2 projects I rendered with 19 seemed slow?  2018 renders usually faster than my project time.  So a 1min video usually renders in 30sec or so even with heavy color and transitions.

So my question to Adobe is WTH?  What changed? Why are you guys releasing new stuff that does not function with high end computers?  I am terrified to update anything ever because it seems every time I do it leads to a ton of wasted time, stress, completely broken spirit, and lost money because of wasted time.  If my phone can edit video why can't my monster computer?

    Hi infinityphotorob,

    Sorry for the trouble with the performance of Premiere Pro. The requirements for the latest version of Premiere Pro changed.

    Please try updating the GPU drivers as suggested in this article: Important information on GPU-acceleration with CUDA and Apple Metal | Adobe Blog

    If possible, try creating a new project in the latest version, import the old project file into the new project and test the performance.

    Please let us know the status.

    Thanks,

    Vidya

    Oh and Adobe why don't you have chat for tech support?  My vacuum has chat tech support.  You guys should too.

    Thank you Vidya for the info.  Ok so what you have said seemed to work.  I created a new project and imported the old one.  And I tried the same exact multicam sequence I had problems with.  And it seems to work perfect now.  I updated the cuda drivers and now seem to be getting slightly faster render times too.  So it seems to be using the GPU a bit more and maybe CPU a little less. So this is an improvement, at least for high end machines.
