Premiere Pro PlayBack Lag With High Bitrate videos (FullHD)
I'm using a Mac Studio M2 Ultra (But i noticed this happens on PC aswell), and I've observed significant performance lag in Premiere Pro when working with footage that has a bitrate exceeding 25,000. Playback becomes noticeably stuttery. However, when I use a bitrate of around 15,000, the performance seems stable.
It's challenging for me to compromise on bitrate for my editing tasks. What's puzzling is that other software, like Final Cut and DaVinci Resolve, handle the same videos without any issue. It's evident that Premiere Pro is underperforming in this regard.
One specific pattern I've noticed is that Premiere Pro operates smoothly for approximately the first 5 minutes, but thereafter, it starts to stutter. The temporary fix I've found is to restart the application. However, the stuttering returns after another 5 minutes. This recurring issue hinders my workflow and is extremely frustrating.
Attached is an image of the settings I currently employ, which seem to exacerbate the freezing in Premiere Pro. I hope this can be looked into promptly.
