Your uploaded video is a screenrecording of the export panel, that is why I was asking.  Do you have this same issue when playing in the source panel?  You mention that you have multiple adobe apps open at the same time.  If you only have Premiere open does this issue still happen?  Can you give exact specs for your PC.  It sounds like you are running out of ram.

Let me check on that. Yes, it's the same issue with the export panel! I’ve been dealing with this specific problem for almost a decade when using Adobe products like Illustrator and Photoshop. Sometimes Illustrator works perfectly, but as soon as I open Photoshop, Illustrator starts malfunctioning. This has happened across multiple computers and laptops throughout my studies. Interestingly, when I switch to a new computer, the issue initially disappears, but eventually, it returns. Right now, I’m facing the same issue with Adobe Premiere.

I’m not using any effects or third-party plugins in the video. The only thing in the video is the video itself.

Does this happen in the edit panel or only in the export panel?  Are you using any effects or third party plugins?

It's impressive how quickly you can respond! I'm using a CPU i7, GTX, and the latest version. I'm working with an .MP4 file and have read a lot online, but I haven't found anything similar to the issue I'm experiencing.

I hope you are able to view the footage.

HI @t634hreww4tyu34f - Does this only happen when you are in the export tab?  What are your cpu specs, and what version of Premiere are you on?  What type of footage are you working with?
