Question

Full screen playback lag

I am having issues of whenever I try to play back my timeline in fullscreen it begins to lag/stutter. Its not the usual lag that you get when a computer is struggling to keep up with the video. It almost looks like interlaced footage breaking up even though it's standard 1080p at 25p.

When playing back in the program monitor there is no issues at all. I have also tried adjusting the playback resolution but that makes no difference.

When playing it back on a second monitor full screen there is no issues whatsoever.

I've only recently had this problem since updating to Premiere Pro CC 2018. Before that it had no problems.

I wondering if it's some sort of settings that have automatically changed themself since the update?

My computer shouldn't be the issue as it has an i7 4510u processor, 4GB Nvidia graphics card and 16GB RAM.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Any update on this issue?  I have the exact same thing happening to me.  Playback is perfectly fine in the monitor except when I try to playback in full screen where it gets choppy, kind of like an interlaced choppiness.  I can send out through the enable transmit to a second monitor in full screen without any issues, so I have been using that as a work around.  But if I am editing on a single screen, full screen playback is really not an option.

    Hi ThomasS,

    Have you tried working with proxies? Highly compressed LongGOP video can have a hard time playing back with certain machines. If using proxies doesn't help your playback issue, please let us know.

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Hi thanks for your reply.

    I tried using proxies and still no look. It just doesn't make sense because it only does it in full screen. Plays back smoothly in the normal timeline view.

    I have since updated to the latest version but still the problem persists.

    Please advise on what you think I can do next?

    Thanks

    Tom

    Hi Tom,

    Did you have any luck fixing your problem? I have something similar. The playback will lag on my main monitor if i full screen it, but only if I setup system resolution higher than 1080p.

    Thanks
