Speed/Duration Playback Issue in Premiere Pro 2020

  • November 6, 2019

When remapping speed using the speed/duration function, it is unable to playback correctly in the timeline.

 

However, the clips still export correctly. The problem is simply with playback after speed is changed. I've tested across different machines and projects, and the problem is across the board.

 

Please fix!

 

Thanks,

Brandon

    What if you render the clip first?

    I am having exact same issue.  It started after I tried a different workflow of Interpereting footage before starting work on timeline.  If I do this, speed changes sort of freeze to a frame during playback in the timeline.  This is obvioiusly a new bug.  If I do not interperet footage I have no issues.  I can ramp up or down with zero issues.  It seems it is always something.  I have an AMD 1950x Threadripper system.  I wish Adobe would test this stuff before releasing new updates.  Someday maybe there will be a class action lawsuit against major software companies such as Adobe and Windows for updates costing unknown amounts of money and time to their customers due to updates that basically shut you down.  Last year I lost a huge client due to updates crushing my system and not being able to deliver on time.

    Yeah,

    this is not a hardware issue, but a bug. I've had the same issue on 3
    different computers (two I9 PC's and one I7 macpro). Interpreting the
    footage works, but you do speedramp changes and it does a freeze frame
    during playback. Going "frame-by- frame" or rendering it does not have
    the issue, only playback. Even with the latest update.

    If you guys want to be seen by the Premiere Pro engineers you need to upvote / post on "UserVoice".

     

    Below is a link to a thread where an adobe engineer has already replied, but it only has three votes currently. It's the first one I found using 'time remapping' in the search box, lower right.

    FWIW: This is a user to user forum, except for a few, we are not adobe employees

      Thanks for this, just went and commented on the link you provided.  I can't believe nobody has contacted any devs about this still however.

        One temporary fix I found is switching my sequence settings from CUDA to "Software only" when applying speed ramp. I came across a similar issue. I went back to CUDA when I exported and everything came out fine. The only problem was I had to render my clip every time for steady playback when doing this in Software only.

        Over two months now without a fix, kind of crazy for such an important feature. It's been very inconvenient for our video team. Keep commenting everyone, hopefully Adobe will take notice!

        I am soooo sick of this.  I use Speed Ramps a lot, and can't even open Premiere anymore without wanting to punch a hole in my monitor.  I've commented all over the internet for a solution, and nothing.  Adobe needs to get it together.

          This is by no means "ok" but I'm with you and am a bit of a time remap fanatic, so a workaround I found that sort of works is if you just click and drag the timeline cursor (idk the proper term, just the big line that shows you where the vid will start playing) you can use the audio play back to drag it at a speed that sounds about like real time. If you do that on a time remapped clip, it should play back as you edited it and in "real ish" time. I tested it a lot before I used it on a paid project and each time I did it, exported the final video and watched it back, it was good and as intended.

           

          Pretty dumb workaround, but it's better than keeping 2 versions of premiere installed and all the exporting/importing back and forth nonsense that seems to be the only other option.

          Stiiiiillll not fixed for me. Works fine up to (speed/duration change or time remap) 150% of 120fps footage. Then playback just freezes through the whole clip.

          I agree, this should be fixed since I've had the same issues on 3 computers
          (PC + MAC) so I'm pretty sure it's a bug and not hardware/settings issue.

            Nest your clip first before time remapping/ speedduration.

            It works for me. But it would be better if we dont have to deal with nest lol

             

            Hope it helps, Thank me later.

              I also have this problem. Major issues with speed ups as everything gets messed up as soon as that problem occurs (can't preview the speed up part, timeline marker doesn't move with playback, waveform of the audio glitches, saving issues etc). Switching away from the (CUDA) renderer and restart the project does help, but then the project gets a rough to work with as it doesn't save any previews.

              Please fix this Adobe!

              Same problem. 

              Sometimes the timeline also plays at 2x speed for me, but that somehow got fixed on its own. This one is driving me crazy though

              Same Here! Everything worked fine in PP2019 but same clips have playback issues in 2020. I updated my OS and that didnt seem to help. The issue is bad with 60FPS clips and especially bad with 120FPS clips. Ive noticed that this only occurs when I speed the clip up, seems to playback fine when I'm slowing it down. Is this a bug?

                Yes it certainly seems to be a bug. Adobe please address!
