23.1 Update GUI Slowly Becomes Sluggish While Working, Restart Fixes

ghuff,

I have seen complaints with AVCHD footage as of late related to the audio codec. AVCHD audio is usually reliant on the OS to deliver support. Your info helped. I will involve the product team, as it's affecting many editors.

Thanks,
Kevin

I just realized that I am using the AVCHD source because of a bug in the ProRes recordings that put the sound out of sync, so I'm using that to fix that, then deleting the clip. This is when the GUI slowdown occurs, even though I delete the clip once I make sure the ProRes audio is back in sync.

Thanks for your help. I was pretty sure it was a bug because it has just started happening since the update to 23.1.

Thanks for the clarification. I am trying to get this bug some attention today. Sorry about this, my friend.

Sorry, I did not mean to imply that this project was a mixture of both. The current project I am working on is a brand-new project started today with a multicam of three angles that are all ProResLT files.

A project I was working on yesterday was a project upgraded into Premiere v23.0 that was a multicam of 2 XF-AVC 1080 10-bit 4:2:2 clips LongGOP and a MP4 encoded out of Resolve.

Both of these projects exhibit the same behavior.

Weird. I think it still may be media related. What happens with a test project and only the ProRes files? 

Hey Kevin, I disabled hardware-accelerated decoding on the GPU and restarted the whole system and the the problem still continues.

I am on macOS Monterey 12.6.1. Video format has been both XF-AVC 10-bit 4:2:2 MXF files and ProResLT files in a multicam setup.

Hey, ghuff,

I'm Kevin from Adobe Support. It sounds like a disturbing error you are having there. Sorry about that. I have a similar machine but I'm not seeing anything yet that resembles your problem during my own editing sessions (I am also an editor).

Though I'm not a dev, I'll try to help troubleshoot while we await a response. In Media Preferences, you can disable hardware-accelerated decoding on the GPU. That will take effect after a reboot. See if that works.

More info will also help the team: How do I write a bug report?

Thanks,
Kevin
