Timeline dragging does not show a wireframe of clip position

See attached video. In one of my projects, performance in general is particularly bad (4k media mixed with mp4's in timeline I believe is the problem). But when you select clips and try to move them around in the timeline, the clips remain where they were shown. The clips are being moved, but you can't see them. Definitely a bug.

Same thing going on with me. Really frustrating. Some timelines seem to be affected while others in the same project are not. Re-starting does not help.

I have the same problem. Do you come to a conclusion why this happens? It's the possibility of mixed formats and codecs in the timeline?

We had this issue and realized it was related to the "Essential Graphic Panel" and "Browse" tab being open. If it was clicked over to Edit we did not have the issue and the wireframes returned. I have let Adobe know and hopefully they make a update. In the meantime this resolves the issues for us.

Having the same problem while using PP2020, restarting doesn't fix it but creating a new sequence works for a little bit before breaking again.

I'm on Windows 10 with 32GB of RAM running a 1080ti FE

Extremely annoying and subconsciously makes editing feel super clunky.
I feel like its an 'in session' memory limit or something vaguely like that seeing as resets fix it for a short period of time (untill you hit that limit again?) not sure. Hopefully they fix it soon

Same issue here, every day, very intermittent with zoom in only fixing it sometimes. Mac Pro 2013, Mojave, Premiere 2019 (can't upgrade yet but sounds like 2020 did not fix this).

I'm starting to find this issue comes and goes (at least in some sequences) if the current section of the timeline that I can see contains multicam clips. No multicam, problem goes away. But if I can see the multicam, and waveforms are enabled, then it comes back. Seems like some kind of bug with waveforms and multicam?

Same issue - it shows the time the video is being moved to but not the blue video segment...problematic

The issue seems to resolve on mine when zooming into the timeline a bit. Zooming back out shows the issue again so this isn't a fix, but it may be a work-around for some.

Same problem for me. It used to be that restarting Premiere would fix the problem for ~1 hour, but now it only fixes it for 3-4 minutes. Quite annoying - has completely stopped my workflow today.

Turning off audio waveforms does fix the wireframe issue, but cutting without them is significantly more difficult.

Help us, adobe wan kanobi. You're our only hope.
