Premiere Lag and slow export times

I understand your frustration, but most people here are not adobe employees and as far as I know, all adobe employees self-identify as such when they post here.

these things can be difficult to diagnose from a distance.  If you want, maybe we could spend a half hour or so on zoom (or preferably team viewer) to see if we can figure out what's going on.    You can send me a direct message by clicking on my username at the top of my posts. 

but first let me throw a couple of things out.  If I mention something you've already tried, let us know but otherwise try these things in a systematic fashion. I can't tell your level of computer expertise from your posts so don't take it personally if you think I'm talking down to you. 

Try resetting preferences and caches

Try disconnecting from the internet either by turning off wifi or pulling the ethernet cable. 

Are you running any other programs at the same time?  If so, restart and launch premiere without running anything else. 

Try creating a new user on the computer with administrative privleges and log in as the new user and again, without running any other programs, run premiere. 

Have you tried creating a new project and importing one of the problematic projects?

If you have multiple monitors connected, try disconnecting everything but your primary monitor.  

And try disconnecting any peripherals besides your mouse and keyboard...  

good luck
