Hi,

 

I have a very strange playback problem in Premiere 2022. When I put a video with audio into the timeline, and try to play it back, the video runs smoothly but the audio lags behind, is choppy, as if in slow motion. I couldn't find any way to fix this ansywhere, so I'm posting this here. My system is quite fast and I don't experience any playback issues in any othe application. 

 

Thank you!

Unfortunately, good playback in a video player applicaiton does not guarantee good playback in a video editing application.

 

Have your reviewed this troubleshooting document in the Premiere Pro user guide?

Troubleshoot issues related to playback and performance in Premiere Pro

 

What file format is your source footage?  Is it a format that's good for editing?  That is, is it an intermediate format rather than a record format or a delivery format?

 

Are your Sequence Video Previews set to match a format that's good for editing?

It's QuickTime Pro-res 422. So, yes, it's perfect for editing and I never had a problem on an older, way slower machine with Preimiere CS6-

ProRes can still be edited smoothly.

 

How confident are you tht your storage media can maintian the sustained data transfer rate of ProRes?  Have you tried a benchmark tool like Blackmagic Speed Test?
