Playback issues on Premiere Pro

Question

Appreciate any advice -

I'm a new user to Adobe, using the subscription version. I've imported some footage from a DSLR camera. Settings were 1920x1080, 25fps. My sequence settings match the footage. The clips play perfectly in the source panel, but when I drag the clip into the timeline, it jitters/stutters badly during playback over tilts and pans. When I export a test clip from the timeline, it plays smoothly again, so it's definitely (I assume) just a playback issue.

I've tried:

-Reducing the playback resolution to 1/4

-Transcoding the DSLR footage into Proress 422 and then re-importing

-Deleting my render files

I'm using a 2014 Macbook Pro Retina. Not ideal, i know, but surely there are Adobe users editing DSLR footage on worse...

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi kateelisabeth26,

As Ann suggested, the system that you are using might not be able to process the edits in realtime which may show up as dropped frames when previewing the timeline. You may try switching the Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (though this may not result in a huge performance gain as the GPU on the system is not that powerful). If the frames are still getting dropped then you may need to render the timeline (Sequence > Render In to Out) to get realtime playback. Hope it helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Sumeet
