Stuttering playback video and audio

Brand new M4 Macbook Pro, fully spec'd out (128GB RAM), even playing proxies I have stuttering in both audio and video. Newest version of Premiere (25.1). This will be footage from a Osmo Pocket 3, Canon c300 mk3, my Panasonic S1H... it's all like this.

I've tried going to Preference/Audio Hardware, and setting the default input to 'No Input' and this doesn't help.

You can see what's happening here:

That is a big bummer, especially with the latest and greatest Macbook alive...

Just to rule things out:

1. Can you try to create a new project and import the old one into the new? Does this help?

2. Can you try to copy the clips used in the sequence to your local drive, disconnect the SSD, have PPro relink the footage and see how performance is then?

3. Can you try to reset preferences?

Please let us know if any of these methods provide some relief.

What's odd is that even my ProRes proxies stutter on playback in the Timeline (though not so much in the Source Monitor). Maybe it's something with my Timeline settings? Except the sequences I create are based on the clips I have... so confused.

Try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

As I mentioned I already tried Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None. I was really hoping that would worked as it did for so many other people!

And my ProRes proxies, while the do increase JKL responsiveness going forwards and backwards in the timeline, still stutter just as badly when simply playing a sequence (even at 1/4th and 1/8th quality).

I'm attaching a screenshot of my sequence settings.

Hi ebenabbaan,

We're sorry to hear about this. Are you experiencing these jitters only during the timeline playback, or does it also appear in the export?

Thanks,

Sumeet

No it is just when I'm in Premiere. And it's killing me! I have to play edits back multiple times as I evaluate timing. It seems to get worse over time.
