Why is the Beta version so slow to do anything?

[Randune23]

No matter what I do (ripple delete, add mogrts, or try to adjust the Lumetri color on a picture or a video), it's as if the Beta version is soooooooo slow.  This has NOTHING to do with my computer specs.  I can do the same functions in regular premiere and it works like a champ.  I only decided to open this 3-4 hour Kauai trip project in Beta b/c of all the mpeg errors that PP has right now.  If you're interested in those errors, you might have to go to the PP community.  After the mpeg errors I could no longer preview or play the timeline.  I would have to shut down PP and start again.  It would only happen if I was scrubbing over an iPhone mpeg video.

So Beta why are you so slow to do anything???

Wow, I guess people are either:
A)  Not using PP Beta
B)  No one is on this community page
C)  No one else is having the issue
D)  Adobe doesn't respond to bug/system issues with PP Beta; or

E)  All of the above

LOL

C. I havent' noticed any slowdowns.  (In Windows.)

My only hiccup occasionally is that the playback engine crashes.  But then nothing plays, not even Media Player. A reboot fixes.

@Randune23,

lol.

I rarely get the super-slow performance reported off and on in the regular and the Beta version forums. I completely reset all preferences, clear the cache, and start new projects in every Beta.

The Beta is just that, and there are regular bugs that come and go. Those I see plenty of.

A) Usage is up; yay!
B) There are plenty of people on this community page
C) No one else has reported having the issue
D) We definitely respond to bugs/issues with the beta
E) All of the above

My answer is E. 🙂

In your original report, you mention timeline editing, using .mogrts, and applying Lumetri; you also say "no matter what I do".  That very general problem statement makes it nearly impossible for us to reproduce the issue, in-house. 

Confirming: This same system & hardware performs great with PPro official releases, but PPro beta performs every action more slowly...?

Obviously, when I add a mogrt, PPB takes some time and then I have to set in and out points around the mogrt and render the video to see what it will look like (and if I like the end result).

But where I am having my issues is if I even trim a little portion off a clip and ripple delete to clean up the edit, PPB just takes so much longer to allow me to edit, scrub, or play the sequence.  It also goes into a major slowdown (and sometimes locks up and is "Not responding") even if I move clips around on the timeline.

I'm pretty much stuck finishing the edit in PPB b/c if I try to open it up in normal PP, it says this file was created in a newer version and cannot be opened.

I just wish it was faster is all b/c it really delays my editing time.

BTW here are my computer specs if it helps:

• Dell 7820 Precision Workstation
• Windows 10 Pro for Workstations
• C-Drive 500 GB NVMe SSD drive
• D-Drive 1 TB XPG SSD Pro drive
• E-Drive 4 TB SATA drive
• G-Drive 1 TB Samsung 860 QVO SSD Pro drive
• Intel Xeon Silver 4110 CPU @ 2.10GHz 2.10GHz
• 64 Gb RAM
• NVIDIA Quadro P4000
•  

Thanks for all of your help on this matter.

PS It is a long video sequence at 3;45;19;05

Try disabling 'Show Duplicate Frame Markers'. There seems to be a bug in the recent releases that will slow timeline navigation to a crawl with complex sequences when this is enabled. This fixed that problem for me.

You're not wrong. It's very slow out here with my brand new Mac.

I'm having the same issue (with PPB), the minute I start to do anything after just cutting my original footage (eg. adding graphics, colour grading, music etc.) It slows to the point that I cannot use it. I know it is a beta and I'm hoping this will be fixed by the time they release the finished version but it is rather frustrating.

I am using a Mac Studio with specs that should not cause this much lag.
