Premiere Pro/Media Encoder bricked overnight on M2 Mac Max
Hi everyone,
I'm kind of lost here.
Premiere Pro has stop working overnight... Basically, nothing works anymore (while Photoshop, Lightroom... eveything except Media Encoder, just work perfectly fine).
Playback isn't working neither can I preview frames, the selection tools takes minutes to do its job, Media Encoder freezes, importing files freezes as well.
The files I'm working with are 4k 10bit 4:2:2 videos but even 4k 8bit footage fail (even though I've made dozens of projects with the files I use for trying to replicate my problem).
It was the first time I was working with 10bit videos, I made sure I had the right environment to do so (XAVC S).
Creating Proxies (when Media Encoder allow me to do so...) doesn't change anything .
I tried :
- Cleaning the cache
- Uninstalling everything (via Creative Cloud and other tools)
- Beta version and many previous versions (latest up to 23.3)
- Uninstalling plugins
In my activity monitor, there a process that seems to act weird: VTDecoderXPCService
On playback, the process just goes from 0 to sometimes 15GB and more without ever going back down.
It just stays there whatever I do (or don't do). It only goes back down when I close Premiere.
I get no crash report even though Premiere is frozen to death.
I was in a hurry an decided to install Davinci Resolve to deliver and it's been absolutely flawless. No lag, no issues.
I'm used to Premiere and I love it for corporate work (and little less for Social Media content) so I can't do without currently.
Thanks in advance for your help.
