Premiere Pro 23.5 TERRIBLY laggy with basic effects on a powerful PC

I don't know what is happening with Pr, but it gets laggy after every update. 

Premiere 2023 23.5

A seqience with track 1 - a footage without any FX, track 2 - two sequencial nests with an animated standard Drop shadow effect on each, with the same video with a single mask inside each of them, Track 3 - an adjustment layer with a Transform effect animated by position and scale. That is all. The footage is a screencast taken in mov (3840 x 2160, h264, nothing extraterrastrial). The moment the timeline starts playing this part the video just stops. I can scrabble through and still see separate frames of the video. It stops in this part. After - it os fine, before - it's flawless. On this part it stops. 

Tried flushing cache, tried prerendering - the timeline bar is YELLOW and it does not prerenders there. And the CUDA is always on.

Finally my specs: 13700, RTX4080, 64 Gigs of Ram at 5600, SSD at 7600\6800 speed. 

What is wrong?

Hi @AndrewTheGreat,

Got your message. You've got a lot going on there, especially with 4K screencasts, which are usually VFR. Not the best format. You might try to see if performance improves with an editing codec, like ProRes LT, at a minimum. Try a test. Adjustment layers add an added issue when it comes to performance, as do nested effects. It seems as if you have introduced a "perfect storm" of issues that has introduced a bottle neck. When I have problems like this, I render that section of the Timeline to a green bar. See if any of these ideas would work for you.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

This is really strange that a standard Drop Shadow and Transform effects put on the blades such a powerful PC. Yes, I have tried the ProRes LT format and it does not really make any difference. Once I take the 4k footage out of the nest everything becomes fine immediatelly even with the effects applied. So the nests are the real culprit. Is there a chance of you guys optimizing it?
