Question

Premiere has become unusable half way through cutting a feature film on it

So i've been have delayed lagging problems on Adobe Premiere for a while =  it can take up to 10 seconds after press play to actually play the clip when i get up to a full feature on the timeline. So i've been cutting the sequeunce into 20 min timelines and it's put that time down and made it o.k to use. But on a new film i've been cutting on i've got to a point where dupicating the sequeunce has made it crash and not reopen.  If I go back to that point it's laggy but managable. I have to dupicate the sequeunce because the director may want to go back to a previous version. As far as i can see there is nothing in that sequeunce that seems to different.

 

I'm using proxies created in resolve they are MXF 36 Bit. With VFX i have render and replaced with AE dynamic links as 422 pro res. The project folder is only 29MB. I wonder if my audio is causing problems it says my M-Audio interface is not working but it is. If i put this to the same thing but default it stops this message but doesn't change the lag or crash when repeating the sequeunce - SEE ATTATCHED.

 

Specs- PC, Nivida Quadro 6000, Intel i7 13 gen. 64GB RAM. Windows 10.

 

Premiere 24.2.1

The following has not worked-

Downgraded to 2022 same problems.

I deleted a ton of sequences - There are 56 in this project (only one of which is open) I deleted 20 of them but it still didn't help.

Deleting Cache

I moved the footage to a faster M2 drive.

Turned off Keynames thumbnails, markers (there are a lot of markers in this project)

Free'd up space on the the drive the project is on.

Reshared the RAM - so it's currently 10GB reserved for other applications and 54GB for Premiere. It was 6GB reserved.

Dropped the old project into a new one.

Turning off "Enable Mercury Transit"

Turning off all effects.

Auto transcribe is off

Enable laguage detection is off.

 

I'm really desperate. Let me know if you have anyideas thank you.

Premiere Pro has been experiencing MASSIVE bugs since its recent update. The render times have tripled since updating, it's almost unbearable.

Try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

Currently, in a similar situation. PP 23. Everything has been fine for months. Nothing changed and now when I press play it locks up. 

Yesterday, I restarted and cleared preferences and cache. Worked fine rest of the day,  but now today issue came back.

Has the media changed though? Are you cutting something now that you weren't cutting before when it was workign correctly? And are you working in a Production or a standalone project?

For large projects like features, TV episodes and documentaries you should be working in a Premiere Production, as that will handle the larger volume of media better than a standalone project. The idea is to spread your footage and sequences out over several projects within the Production, so that no one project is too large (as this could lead to the kind of slowdown you've experienced, or worse).

Here is a great video from Adobe rep Karl Soule about how to migrate your project into a Production:

Weird it used to act fine. I've had way larger projects than this. How do I find out what each project can take? I miss AVID
