Flickering/Flashing thumbnails on timeline

Hi all,

recently I upgraded to the new iMac Pro and run in to the following problem:

The thumbnails on my timeline randomly flicker/flash during editing and playback. With this bug the system seriously slows down (see video for screencap)

I've seen some previous posts about similar problems but not with the iMac Pro and they're all outdated in my opinion (2014/2015)

Does anyone know how to fix this?

System setup:

iMac Pro 1,1 (running on macOS High Sierra 10.13.2)

3GHz Intel Xeon W (10 core)

64 GB RAM

GPU: Radeon Pro Vega 64 16 GB

Thunderbolt Blackmagic mini monitor --> Flanders Fullscreen playback (sdi)

Premiere Pro version 12.0.0 (build 224)

Things i've tried:

- Reinstall PP

- Switched timeline to second monitor

- All the different (available) video rendering playback (CPU/OpenCL/Metal)

- Open in new shorter timeline

Thanks for help in advance 🙂
