Question

Freezing after adjusting anything with audio

Editing a pretty beefy doc from Red Komodo 6k footage that needs to be finished by Thursday. I'm running proxies, low res, using an SSD basically everything to make it run smoothly and it has been running smoothly up until now that it's in the audio mixing phase. Every time I adjust anything on the sound like clip mixer volume, make a cut, or add a sound it freezes for 5-10 seconds then is normal again but it doesn't freeze when I adjust anything video wise which is the weird part. There are about 22 different audio tracks (again it's a big project).

I've tried quite literally everything I've been able to find on reddit, adobe forums, and youtube like resetting the preferences, deleting cache files, installing and reinstalling, tried older version of Premiere, creating a new project, installed studio drivers, turned off effects, even factory rest my PC and tried it on my Mac but still the issue won't go away.

Any ideas is very appreciated I've been banging my head against the wall for three days trying to figure this out.

System Specs:

  • NVIDA GeForce RTX 3060 Studio Driver
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor
  • Installed RAM32.0 GB (28 dedicated to Premiere)
  • System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

    That system is pretty low-resource for that load of workflow. The 6k is bad enough, but audio is vastly more resource-intensive that most people realize. 22 audio tracks ... that ... would be a load if you had only one video track of UHD 422 ProRes.

     

    Peru Bob's suggestion to make sure default audio input is set to 'none' is good ... and I can't think of what else might help on that system. Oh ... having OS/programs on one drive, ALL cache files on another fast internal drive, and projects media on a separate fast internal drive.

     

    Premiere makes heavy use of cache files, especially in audio work, so having the cache run hot is better. Mine is on my second internal Nvme SSD drive.

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...

    Try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.
    If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.
