Freeze

For the past couple days when I make a slice or add a transition to my project, then try to play it back, the play/pause option freezes. Everything else is fine except the play/pause button. So I'd save it to close the application but then when I hit "X" the rainbow swirly comes up & stays until I just force quit the project. This keeps happening

Please provide detailed specs of your system, including your storage configuration as well as your OS and version of Premiere

 

Have you tried resetting preferences and/or reseting your workspace?

If that doesn't work, try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.
from here:

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver)

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.
