Premiere Pro CC 2022 is Too Slow!

I switched to Davinci Resolve about a year ago (the free version) and it works amazingly smooth. No problem editing and previewing 4K files.
I actually ordered a new Macbook Pro because I thougt my old 2018 was too slow to run  Premiere and all the other Adobe applications.
I had to wait from december to march before the mac turned up so I installed Resolve and it turned out that it wasn't the mac that was the problem, it was Premiere.
Even my new 16" MacBook Pro M1 - 64GB Ram - 2tb won't run Premiere properly. I cant understand how Adobe can continue selling their products when it doesn't work. Will buy Affinity Photo, Designer and publiserh as well.

I've been using Adobe since 1997 and now almost all products are useless.

Is there any fix for this yet? Premiere 2022 takes 5-30 seconds just to load me clicking on a single layer, it's basically unusable for actual editing. Premiere 2021  seems to work just fine, even 2020 works.

I'm checking out less bloated and smarter products like RunwayML to replace After Effects and Premiere. At least Runway does what it says on the tin! Who needs a software paperweight? Adobe, your software is causing a loss of income to many people. You should pay us for being your guinea pigs and test subjects.

It's completely useless now. I'm sick of being on edge whether Adobe products will work on any given day. It destroys my workflow, wrechs productivity and thus a loss of INCOME and my creativity.

It's terrible! Absolutely unusable and I've had so many performance issues with EVERY Adobe app lately especially Premiere. I can't even click anything without having to wait minutes fpr any response, CPU jumps to 100% and everything crawls. It's terrible. I'm going to move to something else. Adobe used to be amazing and the last few years it's turned to crap. I can't trust that a project will be able to be worked on using Adobe products so why put my work into supporting a product that just gets in the way. I have not had a good experience with CC at all. I've been an Adobe user since 1998! At least then it functioned.

Absolutely the same experience! The 2022 update is unusable.

I am also having horrible timeline playback on an M1 Max, at just about any resolution, even down to 1/8 at times.

This is all 100MBPS 4K H.264 footage straight from a Sony A7iii. Minimal effects/color correction. Timeline freezes, stutters, and crawls. I keep updating and it keeps happening. Renders are blazing fast but actual editing is no fun at all. 

Things I have tried:
- run Premiere under Rosetta
- delete media cache
- reset preferences
- disabled hardware accelerated decoding and hardware accelerated ProRes encoding
- cursing a lot

System:
Mac OS Monterey 12.5
Model Identifier: MacBookPro18,2
Chip: Apple M1 Max
Total Number of Cores: 10 (8 performance and 2 efficiency)
Memory: 32 GB
Premiere Pro version 22.5

I thought I would be able to make a new Jurassic Park sequel on this fancy new computer, but I am struggling with basic editing. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, especially if they come in the form of an update that magically works wonderfully.

Thank you!

I am having the same issue. Premiere is SO SLOW. I am working on an iMac 2017 with 64 gigs of RAM. I have deleted my media cache, uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere, Mercury Playback GPU does not work AT ALL. What do I need to do? I have a 5-10 second lag every time I click the mouse! 

Hi! I've had the same issues with all of the Adobe products I use... Premiere, Lightroom and Photoshop. It feels like I am working in a web interface across the internet with all 3 of them.

Some of the video effects will not render properly either. When exported, they are fine but it's a real pain trying to edit.

I have not used Adobe everyday or even every week the past few months, due to vacations, so I can't say exactly what update changed it, unfortunately. But the interface changes to Premiere are awful. I do not like them.

The sluggishness of all of the Adobe programs now make me want to rip my fingernails out.

My Premiere version is 22.5.0 (Build 62)

My system specs are as follows:

Processor:  Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10980HK CPU @ 2.40GHz 3.10 GHz

RAM:  64.0 GB (63.8 GB usable)

Graphics:  NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super with Max-Q Design

Can we roll back to a previous version? Please?

Thanks!

I have the same isuue, a project I have been working the last year perfectly, with the last update the work in timeline is almost imposible and the render is about 5x SLOWER, same sequence that used to take 5 to 7 mins rendering is taking 1 HOUR, moving or editing any graphic is like 0.1 fps, it used to be flawlesly sharp, now I change a text and I have to wait to let it load to see any change. it's nuts. alienware r12 i9 11900kf 96gb ram rtx3070 gtx1060
