I start to think that nobody from Adobe read and answer to new post until many people complain about same problem. Until then we continue with payment and leaved with our own problems.
I use MAC Studio with M1 MAX processor with Premiere Pro and have various problem in each version.
I work on 1 hour Multicam sequence with four cameras with XDCAM 4:2:2 codec, and cut to 45-50 minutes. Source is on local disk.
To simplify things I reworked my project, clear all effects, text, overlay and leave only Multicam sequence and edit sequence with NO effects.
On attached picture you will see my setup.
Just to be clear. The source cameras is PreRender ( again in MXF - XDCAM 4:2:2 codec) with mosaic and number, for copyright reason.
Picture 1. Multicam sequence XDCAM 422 with 4 cameras. NO effect
Picture 2. 50 minutes Multicam Edit XDCAM 422. No effects.
For editing I use Premiere pro 2021(15.4.5), because it is stable and fast, but have problem.
Problem 1: When I time stretch different part of Multicam sequence and export them, on exported material there is different kind of artefacts. This happened no matter what kind export I use( H264 or XDCAM)
Sometimes this happened with clips too(not only with nested Multicam sequence).
One year..yes 1 year ago someone from adobe answer in my previous post and said that they recreate this problem and I must use version 22.5 and later....but this is lead to:
Problem 2: All version that I test for this 1 year period, from 22.4 to latest 23.3 and even BETA (23.5.0), all of them are filling much slower in live playback and have strange behaviour.
When I click export (no mater what codec I use) it start to render and then pause and idling, after some time it continues. Premiere pro act like computer is reach some limits and wait to pass.
Same project on the same machine with version 2021(15.4.5) is NOT behave like that. It render without pausing. Result is, it take muuuch longer to render.
In the attached Picture 3 you can see it takes 5 times longer! 2 minute and half, compare to 13 minutes.
I have screen recording of this behaviour and can attached for further investigation.
So now in conclusion: All version after 2021(15.4.5) on MAC STUDIO have bigger problems. Slow playback for work, slower scene cut, slower export. NOW with version 2023.2 and 2023.3 we can't even export directly.
Can somebody from adobe answer which is more likely:
- Release fixed MAC version of 2021(maybe 15.4.6) or
- No more release of 2021.
Adobe, if you want I will send project and media. It is simple 4 camera Multicam setup, with NO effects.
