Premiere Pro 2024 - poor playback (M2 Ultra Studio)

Very interesting.  I recently starting shooting on C70 and have been having all kinds of playback issues, constant beach ball anytime I click the mouse, etc.  No difference whether I toggle proxies on or off.

Kind of agree, there is a lot of issues I have with exporting videos that aren't even using hefty motion graphics or anything like that. No issues with 2023 like at all. I don't know why this was much of an improvement. It's costing me money because every time I try to use their software to export I'm getting errors on behalf of their software that just seem like they have buggy stuff they need to figure out. 

That's your experience, and I don't question it ... we each have our own. And the devs naturally need to hear about especially the specifics of what's screwed up.

Clearly, and plainly ... directly.

And as someone who works in Resolve also ... their current "ish" is probably easily their buggiest ever.

Ain't life a joy? 

Premiere 2024 is the worst update in using it for 15 years. It's so slow, buggy and I hate it. The auto tag function sucks up your resources and is absolutely useless. Please someone explain to me what it is used for. I think after this experience I am moving back to Avid for feature editing. 

this worked! 

With those time rates, that's variable framerate media. VFR. The actual number of frames per second varies constantly which is a problem for NLEs.

I had also problems with timeline lag. I still have, but I found a solution for proxy lag. My footage was recorded at different frame rat 59,8, 59,2, 60, 60,1fps.... Even making proxies it was sooo lagy. After modifing all of them to 60fps there was no problem. Now I have lag in other things, as for example enlarging a mate layer

I had this problem. Try to disable GPU acceleration for decoding... In preferences..

There's been several comments on the "Adobe Premiere Pro Editors" facebook group. I think it was centered around giving Premiere several permissions to directly acccess something, and in general to do certain other things. Seemed like 3-5 settings were involved.

Not a Mac person, so ... although I did read through the posts, I don't remember the specifics.

Hi @R Neil Haugen  - I've seen a number of your replies on here and always appreciate your detailed insights! A "legend," indeed." 🙂

This is not directly related to OP, but wanted to follow up on your last comment- could you expand a bit more on what security/permissions changes Mac users have been making to optimize for 2024? I'm working on an M2 Ultra and it performs pretty well already, but always looking to optimize further! Thanks.
