FAQ: Don't run SPOTIFY or CHROME while editing!
Running apps like Spotify and browsers like Chrome rob your GPU of its power. I advise you to avoid running them while editing, particularly if you are having performance problems.
I advise users to get an iPad or use their phone hooked up to some speakers to listen to music if you must.....Run only Premiere Pro when editing.
In the same respect, reboot the computer before editing, and at midday to refresh RAM. Just a reminder that needs to be said once in awhile since so many editors are listening to music while editing.
So now you know: Spotify hurts Premiere Pro performance, as does Chrome and other GPU hungry browsers. So, I'm not telling you to avoid music during some editing tasks, or lose the ability to browse the web during your editing sessions, I'm just suggesting to use an alternate device if you want the max performance from your computer while editing with Premiere Pro.
A reminder to the editing community that you must not think of Premiere Pro as "just another app," but as an editing system which requires the full capacity of your hardware working in concert with it for best possible performance. That said, running other apps while you are running Premiere Pro will hurt preview rendering, playback, UI snappiness, color grading performance, GPU real time effects performance, exporting performance and your overall user experience.
