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.

    @Satish_Ramakrishnan Looking forward to getting the fix as soon as possible. Now, it is unusable because of the issue (25.2 Build 117).

    This issue is being investigated internally. We do not have any updates as yet. Will let you know as and when this is fixed.

    @Satish_Ramakrishnan any news on a fix for this? As I have said this bug is so severe that it is making the use of this program impossible.

    What I found is I am getting these delays mostly occur when I'm changing values with the arrow keys (like shift+up to increase by 10). If I manually type the value and increase by 10, the change is instant. If I do shift+up I have to wait for Premiere to respond again.

    Maybe that's the missing link to reproduce on Adobe's side.

    Latest beta still have this issue and it makes no difference whether files are in NAS or local NVME drive. This also happens with other effects too and when placed on individual clips and not on an adjustment layer. It also happens when track output for the adjustment layer is off and you make changes in Lumetri, timeline freezes. If you type the value in Lumetri basic panel and not move the sliders, then there is no freeze. If you have about five minutes of clips in timeline, then there is no freeze, but when you add more clips then it starts to happen. So Adobe when doing your own tests please put enough clips in timeline and different clips, not just one clip copied.

    We still do not have an in-house repro, a critical step towards a fix. Thanks though for confirming that the issue exists without the adjustment layer. So let's only look at what's in the clip. I want to understand if the performance has degraded with Lumetri or all effects in general. Could you try to apply other effects and see if you see the same behavior?

    Do you also see the problem with a clips (and the proxies) in the local machine as well? Also are the latest Beta builds any better?

    It is the same without adjustment layer. There are number of things that cause timeline to freeze. For example changing settings in Lumetri basic panel and turning adjustment layer on or off. Also there are numerous threads about this issue already in this forum if you look for them. Please fix this.

    @Satish_Ramakrishnan I mean that is no different if there is a adjustment layer of the top or not. The issue still exist!

    Could you please explain what you mean by a fresh timeline?

    Do you mean one clip, one adjustment layer on top, adjustment layer selected, lumetri exposure applied. Then clip selected, lumetri exposure modified. Compare this with 25.1 and you see 25.2 being this slower?
