'Media analysis & transcription' causes severe network throttle

I recently moved to an M3 Ultra Mac Studio - 96g ram

 

When I have Premiere Running with a project open, my network connection, LAN, Internet, NAS, is throttled down to a trickle. 

 

I went through multiple troubleshooting things and searches, thinking my NAS was an issue. 

 

The fix i found was to disable 'Media analysis & transcription' in the preferences.

Hi @jayb17246534,

Thank you for reporting a problem and sorry you've been experiencing issues.

A few questions: How big is your project and what kind of media are you working with? Where is your media located and where is your cache stored? What kind of bandwidth does your network have?

Sorry for the frustration,
Dani
