I have been using premiere for over 15 years now. I have never experinanced such a buggy version. Ever since I got the MAC STUDIO M2 Ultra, Premiere has been nothing short of a nightmare. From issues of editing with two monitors, two video not being played on the timeline. Massive lagging. Not able to render anything. Someone FIX this version. Come out with an update already.

Just in case anyone has the same issue I was having, found out the root cause was the Sony Catalyst Prepare plugin which was the cause of all my woes. After removing the plugin, Premiere is behaving normally. Shout out to Kyle P. for helping me isolate the issue.

Can anybody confirm if 14.1.1 fixes the issue?

For sure, Warren. I'm not doing broadcast work currently, although I did years ago.. Mostly just tons of corporate B2B videos these days. All internet delivery stuff. But the broadcast style breakout setup is an upgrade for my home suite. Might as well make lemonade out of these dang lemons.

Thank you for posting what worked.

If you happen to be doing broadcast work, using a breakout box is the proper way to monitor picture anyway.

I got antsy and pulled the trigger on the 14.1 update. With non-separate spaces, the stutter is still there, but not quite as bad as os13. I can't see all frames in permiere or AE on my main monitor, but I just can't stand having separate spaces anymore.. so I found another work around. I put a decklink card in a sonnet box, and enabled mercury transmit out to a TV. this output is nice and smooth. Now, my GUI moitor is good enough to work on, and the decklink monitor is a perfectly smooth output. Never thought adding a monitor would've helped.. but throwing more money and kit at my desk has fixed me up for now.

The "Displays have separate Spaces" has been an issue before sonoma.

I'd like to also confirm that 14.1 did not fix this issue. It's prevelent in Premiere, After Effects as well as a few other applications like Jump Desktop. I have downgraded my OS back to Ventura, which seems to have cleared up the issue. I also have reported feedback to Apple. Please keep us posted -- it's not worth upgrading to Sonoma until this is taken care of by Apple.

@Branded Productions In my local testing of macOS 14.0 / 14.1 I've observed that playback stutter is improved compared to macOS 13.x with "Displays have separate Spaces" enabled. However, it is not yet on par with disabling "Displays have separate Spaces" or using a single display.

Hello again.. just looking for an official update. Does MacOS 14.1 contain the fix? I'd like to know before I pull the trigger on the upgrade. Thanks!

I am on a M2 Ultra Studio, and after upgrading to Sonoma and Premiere Pro 24.0 I have kept the displays have separate spaces, but I just tried turning it off, and running Premeire.

Just a quick jump into a timeline and it is working just fine right now, after previously being totally unresponsive. Will keep updated if things change, but right now it looks to be working and I am just so happy to not have my monitors as seperate spaces.
