P: Spacebar does not start playing the timeline

[Lounger]

Updated to the latest Beta of PP this morning and the timeline does not start playing when hitting the Spacebar; well; sometimes it does, 98% it does not start playback

Media Intelligence & Transcripts - is not even an option in my preferences. 

I have logs and screen grabs, should I just post them here? For logs do you need the whole folder "SentryIO-db"?

Specs:

Macbook Pro M1 Max

Sequoia 15.1.1

64 GB memory.

Hi @jmro, 

They will be in your Prefs if you're using a current version of Beta, today's version is 25.2 x 95. 

Are you in Beta or release? 

Also the logs I'm looking for need to be enabled by a debug flag in the Console 😞 

1. Use the hamburger menu in the Console view to get to the Debug Database 

2. Search for "Create"

3. Set "CreateLogFilesThatDoNotExist" to "true" 

4. Relaunch the app 

5. Get into the state where your playback is lagging 

6. Reveal log files... 

I think this should get us the log files that will be helpful.

I'm not in Beta release as I tried that and the same thing kept happening with that as well. 

I'm a little lost at the first step in recovering log files...can you be more specific? Is this in the Terminal? In Premiere Pro?

1. Use the hamburger menu in the Console view to get to the Debug Database

I was optimistic when I found this thread, but unfortunately, this doesn't seem resolved.

I had a user who had a relatively simple project file that had been created by a different user in 25.

She had been on 24.6.4 (Build 3), and then needed to upgrade to 25.1.0 to use it. Then this problem of freezing, crashing, and playing or pausing started.

Sometimes, after a full system reboot it would be OK for a few minutes, but then after a few minutes, it would deteriorate to unusable.

Tried all the normal troubleshooting steps: full system reboot, cleared preferences, media cache, etc., copied the content form the old .prproj out to a totally new .prproj file via Dynamic Link Manager, etc. Also tried Beta Version 25.3, because of this thread, to no avail.

The only thing thing to get this system going again was to export to FCP XML just to be able to import over into 24.6.4 (Build 3) again.

This is on:

Model: iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021)

OS Version: 15.3.1

System Version: macOS 15.3.1 (24D70)

It seems like this might be related to: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-beta-bugs/timeline-performance-problems-since-25-2-0-bui...

Help! We can use 24 for this particular project but the editor will be receiving more 25 projects files from other collaborators in the future. Happy to DM an Adobe any additional information that might help.
