Question

A lag while adjusting motion parameters, if the "Motion effect" is not manually selected.

Why does Premiere tend to lag when displaying changes to Motion parameters?

However, if I select the Motion tab and adjust the parameters, the lag disappears—the Program Monitor displays the changes quickly, smoothly, and without issues.

This bug is present in all versions, for years. I have even developed a habit to select it, but it's annoying. (please fix)

I've also had issues with this and learned to kind of deal with it, but when I select the motion tab (or for any other effects) I get these huge skips that might be even worse than the small lag that I get when the tab isn't selected. I created a demonstration video so you can have a better understanding of the issues that Viktor might be having as well as what i'm experiencing. 

 

 

Also please note:

 

  • You won't be able to re-create the inital issue in the video on a fresh timeline with no cuts, effects etc., but you can quickly see the second issue on a fresh timeline. 
  • I edit with h.264 footage and I also use pro-res proxies and both have the same issue.
