Getting the spinning wheel whenever I move a clip, cut it or delete empty space in my timeline
I'm working in a 1920x1080p sequence. Whenever I drag a clip, delete a clip or delete the empty space between clips I get the "spinning wheel of death". I have to wait for like 3 seconds and then the action is executed. Although it's only 3 seconds, I need to make thousands of movements and deletions in my timeline, so it's not ideal.
I've already tried commonly recommended solutions such as: restarting my computer, updating PremierePro to the latest version, deleting media cache, copying and pasting the clips onto a new sequence, etc. Strangely, this lag only occurs in this specific sequence. I tried performing the cutting/deleting/moving actions on another sequence and it ran smoothly.
