2022 Premiere Multicam Temp Freeze Issue

Editing a multicam sequence, 2 video files, video will play back absolutely fine at normal speed indefinitely, but at double playback speed video freezes for about 15 seconds, audio continues, no controls work, and then it will catch up on itself and everything starts working again.

 

Angle 1: 1080p, XAVC S-I MP4 (From Sony FX3)

Angle 2: 1080p MXF (From Sony FX6)

Hard drive: Samsung T5 USB-C

Windows PC, AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16 Core Processor,

64GB RAM

Premiere Pro v22.1.2 (Build 1)

 

Doesn't seem to hit the CPU when this happens, but happens most times. Very frustrating, anyone else had this issue or worked out how to get around it? I've tried proxies and had the same issue.

 

This problem sounds close but this post is closed:

Same problem. So many problems. Honestly I'm about to quit editing after 11 years because Premiere is such balls and I don't have the energy to learn Avid. How they charge so much money is beyond me. 


Echoing this sentiment almost a year after this comment. And just like this, there are other issues from years ago one can easily find in these forums that are still happening... Issues that GPT-2 could offer less generic solutions to, like "checking drivers" or "deleting the cache."

Hi JoeMarTech,

Thanks for writing in and sorry for your difficulties.

This kind of behavior indicates your computer system might not be able to play these streams at the same time very reliably for whatever reason. Thomas suggests to test the workflow with transcodes, but you say you've tried proxies already. Which flavor of proxy? Try ProRes, if you have not already done so.

What kind of GPU are you operating with? Does it have the latest drivers installed? How full is the media drive? Is it near capacity? Are you testing with a new 22.1.2 project, or one you updated from a previous version?

I have not seen this issue, but happens with your combination of media types, perhaps. Do you have any sample clips to share with us? Hope we can help.

 

Thanks,

Kevin

I'm having the same issue on an M1 Max Macbook pro.  I have 4k clips from a canon c200 ( though I've also had it happen with my panasonic Gh5 clips as well) .  When i create a multiclip source if I hit double speed on playback, i can not get it to stop playing audio.  The video stops, but the audio just keeps playing and the entire system becomes unresponsive.    I have to shutdown the entire system to get it to stop.  It is INCREDIBLY frustrating, as I do a TON of multicam editing, and this has made PP 2022 completely unusable for me.  It is definitly an issue with PP 2022, because if I create a project in PP 2021 and do the multicam it works perfectly.  Then if I take that exact project and bring it forward and open it in 2022, the problem happens, everytime.

      1. Just to eliminate that this could be a codec issue. Have you tried the same test with e.g. ProRes or DNxHR files? What proxy formats did you use when testing proxy?

       

      2. Have you tried the same test with media stored on an other storage device?

       

      3. Have you tried creating a multiclip in the free version of DaVinci Resovle 17 using the same source media and doing the same test there? This could help tell you if this is an Adobe issue or not.
