Going through the same BS. My 19 2019 macbook pro spec are maxed out. I even have an 8tb ssd and its giving me BS. The onyl way around it for me is to work in cold conditions, remove the 4k samsung widescreen monitor im using and to remove power. Also I'm working on low battery mode 😕😕

Did you ever resolve your overheating issue?. I'm on the same machine, 2019 16in MBP i9, 8 core, 64gb running Adobe Premier and have serious heat issues that slow my machine way down making render time hours when they used to be minutes

I am having the same problems with my MCB. In Activity Monitor, kernel task goes over 1000 % CPU usage any time I am editing. I am using proxies of my .R3D footage as well. This issue slows me down considerably and is quite frustrating because I am a very fast editor and this program is completely taking me out of my rythym and making me have to stop editing for 5min or so to let the cpu and kernel task go back to normal. Then I get about 3-5min editing normally before everything gets really slow again. Also, on exports, my computer is pretty much rendered useless. I can't type or do anything while I'm exporting.

 

CPU SPECS:

macOS Monterey

Version 12.3.1

MacBook Pro (16 inch, 2019)

Processor:  2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9

Memory:  64GB 2667 MHz DDR4

Startup Disk: Macintosh HD (4TB) 1.68TB available

Graphics: AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8GB

 

Software:  Premiere Pro 2022 (version 22.3.1 Build 2)

Interesting that you are experiencing this roughly about the same time I'm experiencing this. My MBP is not quite as tricked out as yours, but is comparable. I wonder if a Premiere Pro update could ultimately be the cause of this.
