BUG: Playback in timeline wont stop when moving at double speed or more (v22)

[Dan Schiffmacher]

in the newest update (v22) of premiere pro, when you shuttle right in the sequence at double speed, (or more) the playback won't stop, even when shuttle stop is pressed. Adobe premiere acts normally otherwise, (you can save and quit) but it will still keep playing at that speed. Even closing the sequence doesn't make it stop. You have to close out of the app and then re open the project.

yeah its not perfect, but trust me, its 100x worse on windows

There is some work in this direction. I hope the long-awaited nuisance will be eliminated in the next update. Here is a review, check out:

This is annoying. Sometimes I just have to sit and wait for it to play the whole sequence before it stops. iMac Pro (2017) 128GB Ram, 18-Core Intel Xeon W.

22.4 and still broken. I've been on this thread since 22.0. This is absolutely pathetic and atrocious Adobe. I mean, my god, this is bad. This is quite literally a function intrinsic to Analog film editing. Get a grip!

Hopping on the bugtrain. I searched hours for not finding any solution. And 've been seeing this bug popping up since 2017....

22.6.0 Beta did not fixe the problem

[jtfarabee]

So far the only real solution I've found is using DaVinci Resolve instead of Premiere. In Resolve, I can play back smoothly at 16x, and I haven't even needed to create proxies or optimized media to do so. So it's obviously not an issue with drive speed or hardware, it's something to do with the way Adobe is using the timeline and playback monitor.

[Summers74]

This is driving me crazy. I do a lot of double speed watching, because I'm combing through hours and hours of documentary footage. When the playback gets stuck and I can't stop it, I start to tear my hair out. And I don't have much hair left on top of my head at this point. I'm very upset that one user reports that even 22.6 Beta did not fix the problem. How can this be happening????? I will consider switching to Resolve.

As long as this horrible bug isn't fixed, 15.4 still works OK, you can downgrade

[roedolfs97088506]

One of the most annoying bugs (Amongst the countless others) in Premiere.
Premiere existed since 1991, you'd think 31 YEARS is enough time to figure out how to get smooth playback in their video editing software.

Premiere is nearly as old as I am, yet constant bugs like these still exist that I wouldn't even expect in freeware software.

[Baffy19]

When will the freeze at double the viewing speed in the program monitor be fixed? This error has been going on since v. 22.0. No results so far.

[justinw97398159]

This bug has just got worse for me since updating to the latest 2022. Please can we get a fix for this asap, i'm paying £50 a month and i'm currently not able to do my job. Major issue when using multicam sequences.

[darienc]

Same issue here. Need to be able to playback at higher speeds in a multicam sequence, gets stuck playing and can't stop it without force closing the program.

[jkecskex]

Please fix this! This is the wrench being thrown in my gears while editing.

[Jorge Jaramillo Hdz]

This bug have al least 10 years. I'ts been a bug that they don't care to fix. 

Having the same problem but playing at regular speed.

Here is a 2014 post about it. You can see they don't care at all.

[Nick5C9D]

i've been following threads for this issue since 2014
Almost 10 years later it is still unreasolved

I'm not going to waist even more time talking about what hardware i have or how many monitors i use or even what format my video is at

JUST FIX IT

And since i'm rumbling please ALSO fix premiere crushing when you forget to switch language to english when searching for a font

why is compeditive products off topic?

[Yoel12345]

This isn't just a double speed problem. It's happening to me in 23.2 at normal speed in a multicam sequence that's 7.5hrs long with 4 "cameras" (one mostly blank), and also happened on a 4hr long project a few months back with 3 "cameras."

It's not my hardware. I migrated the project to a Gen 4 NVMe drive on a freshly built Z790 mobo with a 13600K, single-channel 32GB DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 and a RTX 4070 Ti and it still happens frequently. It's absolutely maddening to work with then the program just won't do what the hell you tell it to... especially trying to get through a 7.5hr runtime. Issues like this are pushing me to take a hard look at DaVinci, frankly. I've found reports of this behavior going back to 2017, which is ridiculous.

[Jorge Jaramillo Hdz]

Yup, same here, I'm considering leaving Adobe after 15 years using it. Lattest versions have been a hell to work with, full of new bugs and bugs like this that have been more than 10 years in the software and they don't care to fix it. 

[Elijah5EC2]

This is the worst bug I constantly run into. It locks up for several minutes sometimes. It's usually followed by not being able to use up or down arrows to navigate.

[Erin289033792o28]

This turned Premiere into unusable garbage for me. I just subscribed and I cannot use this software, terrible.

[Nick5C9D]

I noticed that when the multicam editing crahses (doesnt stop playing, and prepiere is not responsive) one ot the cores is working at 100%)

[Jesse B-S]

This has been a problem for years. It usually leads to a crash and the cut points don't get saved until you pause so you can loose so much work every single time you want to pause.

[karloc71283153]

These bugs are so insufferable. I'm editing in a Multicam and the playback will NOT PAUSE when I need to edit!! I have to WAIT till the entire video is finished before I can even do anything in premiere pro. Come on guys, if it wasn't for the fact that I don't know how to use DaVinci all that well, I would already be switching -___-

[ryanhasegawa]

I'm having this exact same problem. A month ago I was at least able to cut at a decent speed on my m1 macbook pro but not infuriatingly that has ALSO ceased to stop. Every time I restart the application I can get about 4-5 minutes into my cutting before I notice that the timecode starts to jitter and then that's when I lose the ability to cut or switch camera angles on my multicam sequence. I've tried completely rebuilding my project file, deleting all the peak files and temp files that I can find and the problem persists. I'm a little mindblown that theres not workaround to this. Not sure if anyone else has found a solution yet. I'm going to try reverting to ver22 because I can't find anything else earlier still avalible for download...
