Timeline/performance problems since 25.2.0 Build 50

I've posted this in the other thread about the timeline issues, but maybe it's better suited as a new bug report.

Since the latest build (25.2.0 Build 50) I'm having a lot of timeline and other issues since this build. For example:

- GUI isn't loading properly on start (some black panels) unless I resize those panels.

- Timeline preview rendering start takes around 60-70 seconds, then goes at normal speed

- Timeline freezes frequently (stops updating the program monitor)

- External tools like Premiere Handy Tools and Excalibur are not working properly (very long delays of 60s+ until they apply the settings)

- Timeline often stops accepting input, I have to alt-tab away from Premiere and back again to be able to click on clips or start playback.

- Clicking a clip on the timeline does not update the data in for exampleEffect Controls. It only updates the data once I move the playhead. 

- sometimes most of the GUI stops responding to clicks unless I move the playhead or resize the corresponding panel

 

This is just off the top of my head. There's other weirdness going on, none of which I experience in the latest stable. 25.1 "just works", 25.2 currently is a master lesson in patience...

 

I'm sure it was working fine in the build before the playback bug (audio scrubbing) was introduced, because that's when Premiere beta was last working fine for me without major issues.

    Thank you! Could you try to remove the adjustment layer and apply the Exposure change to the clip directly and see if the performance (of monitor refreshing and playback starting) is any better compared to 25.1?

    And here is the same project in 25.1:

    Would it be possible for you to show the issues via a screen recording?

    Agree, since 25.2 Premiere Pro Beta has become unusable, I mean it was a time when I edited entirely in Beta, it was much better than the official release, but now it's impossible to work with.

    I'm having the same issue.

    Apple M1 Max

    32 gb ram

    400 gb of free storage

    working off a T9 4 TB with solid cable.  500 gb of free storage

    Project is mainly footage from C70.  All frozen timeline scenes are of C70 HEVC .mp4

    Loading time of project is up to 10 minutes.  

    Timeline playhead freezes constantly.  First started when in Color workspace and when essential sound tab was open.

    Issue: Timeline freezes when trying to do almost any change somewhere
    Adobe Premiere Pro version number: 25.2.0 build 65
    Operating system: Windows 11 Build 26100.2605
    System Info: CPU, GPU, RAM, HD:

    CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7970X

    GPU: Nvidia 3090 RTX

    GPU driver: Nvidia Studio driver ver. 566.36

    RAM: 128GB

    Hard Drive: NVME, NAS with 10Gbit/s connection to a computer, doesn't make any difference where files are located

    Video format: Canon R5C 8K Raw, DJI Pocket 3 4K HEVC, DJI Mavic 3 Pro 5K x264, does seems to happen on all of the media files I have.

    Workflow details: Put files on timeline and try to do a change in the Lumetri basic panel or switch adjustment layer with a effect on it on or off. The more you put files into a timeline the more sluggish it gets.

    Steps to reproduce: Create a new sequence and put files in it. Then add an adjustment layer top of the media files -> Timeline freezes for 30 seconds or so. Change a color setting in a Lumetri basic panel in any of the clips in timeline -> timeline freezes. Basically almost anything you do will result in a timeline freeze. Premiere for me is unusable in this beta version. Beta 25.1 is working fine.

    Spoke too soon. This happens also on my PC. I had a project that was created probably in an earlier version of Premiere Pro beta. I couldn't see the issue in that project, but when I added new files to the project the situation is the same now. Whenever you do a change in timeline there is a minute or two pause on everything. Adobe please comment on this issue. What is the point of beta if you don't comment anything on reported bugs. There have been cases when a bug that was discovered in beta was also present later in a stable version. This can't happen with this issue.

    Is this a MAC issue only? I don't have this issue with my PC.
