P: Extremely lagging and slow when typing captions

I have a project that is 1hr 52min long, when I type in the program monitor for captions, it is lagging to the point where I can type a sentence and it will take about a minute AFTER I type and watch one letter slowly appear at a time. This hasn't happened to my other project which I started last week. Is there a reason for this? It;s been going on for months now.

 

I have 16gb of ram, and am updated to the lastest version of PR2021.

    Hi Abbsteroni,

    Is this one single 2 hour clip or many clips that created your transcript? Let us know.

     

    Thanks,

    Hy! Is there any update about the lag of captions? I've been having this problem since the first lines of subtitles and I also have a single video file that is 2 hours long (and is about 7gb). I'm up to date, I have 16gb RAM, and many of my friends who have different devices and maybe even better configurations still have the same problem. It just freeze after 1 line. It's a pain to work and it never got better after any update, just worse.

    Hi Ligia.

    Sorry about that. Long sequences like yours have a harder time with performance than shorter ones, especially if you shoot 4K footage with only 16 GB RAM. I am not sure what the rest of your computer looks like. Could you let us know?

     

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    That is painful.

     

    There are other reports of lagging etc, but no pattern that I can see.

     

    And other users seem unaffected.

     

    Any difference in the two projects other than the one being newer?

     

    I assume you are doing a "save a copy" or similar for backups. If the newer project is okay and later goes bad, make a note at that point and check earlier backups to see if the problem is/is not present. Then file a bug report and provide the before and after project files.

    The newer project just started slowing down for typing on captions, as soon as it hit the 300s (captions) mark it started slowing down.
