I previously had a MacBook M1 with 16gb of RAM that crashed relenetlessly. Last week I dropped enogh money to buy a used Subaru on a new MacBook M3 Max 16 core w/ 128 GB of RAM. I just had a memory leak crash...again.. showing that Premiere was trying to use just north of 200 GB of RAM. 

 

I saw another thread mentioning VSTs, which I do have installed on my computer but not running in the project. Has anyone found a real solution to this problem?

Must say it hasnt had any memory leak issues, been great in that regard. Only had one classi "adobe encountered major error" crash after having my computer on all day. Thanks for checking

Hi @Dan LaDue - Can you try the latest version of Premiere Pro version 24.5 and let us know if this still happens to you.  When Premiere gets into this state you can open activity monitor, double click on Premiere Pro and in the lower left hand corner select sample.  It's best to do a couple of these.  Can you then email them to me at jamiec@adobe.com

This is why I don't update 😂 why does every company deteriorate the user experience over time.? The new fx button on clips - good in theory, but sometimes my selects are small enough that it's not letting me click and drag the clip to where I want to on the timeline. Can this be disabled?

That's enabled but still can't do what I want. Shown in the video attached here 


I see what you want.  Then you would need to enable the FX badges for that workflow.  I'm sorry that the new layout if frustrating for you.  Have you joined the Betas?  These are great opportunities to get your feedback in.

Edit - I still use Premiere 21, but see people experience memory leak issues no matter what version they're using.
