Memory Leak Issue?

[Srfaye327]

Hey all,

I've been experiencing what I believe is a memory leak. Probably 2-3 times per day I'm having a dialogue pop up on my 16" M1 Max Macbook Pro (M1 Max, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) that says my computer is out of memory. Premiere completely locks up and I lose whatever work I have done since the last save/autosave. In the dialogue box, it usually says Premiere is using around 100-120GB of RAM. My preferences are set to reserve 6GB open for other applications but obviously the program is blowing way past that number multiple times per day. Unfortunately, it isn't perfectly replicable as it doesn't crash every single time I use it. At 2-3 times per 8-hour edit day, I'd say it ends up crashing like this 20-30% of the time I use it.

Before anyone asks: Yes, my software is fully up to date via CC (Premiere 23.2.0). I am on MacOS Ventura 13.2.1. I am editing off of an external SSD. The entirety of the project is 300GB.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and resolved it?

Thanks!

I have te same issue on my Macbook pro M2 Max with 64GB of Ram and 2TB Drive... 

I tried everything, restarted system, reinstalled Premiere, creating new projects and pasting sequence on it, deleting media cache and still premiere is working so bad... 

Im installing PP 22.0 right now - its last try - when it wont help I'll learn Davinci - so many people are going into davinci software... now i know the reason ...

Thanks for sharing! I know a number of users who are experiencing this issue. I work over 40 hours a week and simply don't have time to do all of the troubleshooting Adobe usually wants me to do. Even just coming onto this forum to post takes too much time. For as much as we all pay per year, I expect Premiere to reliably work right out of the box without needing constant troubleshooting. It's been years since it's been that way.

Bad news.... I Installed Premiere 22.0 - 22.5 - 22.6.4 - all three versions have the same issue - imo the most "stable" was 22.5... Its funny beacuse im editing on light, fullhd proxies saved on my SSD... Even that after 2/3 hours of editing I get the same error....

I think the issue might be working off of SSDs. Since transferring my project to the internal SSD I haven't had the issue (it has only been a couple of days). I've also had iStat open during editing to monitor the RAM so IDK if that is helping to manage memory usage as well.

I have an M2 pro Mac mini and the same issue. It just collapses at the 95GB.

But the same project works on Macbook Pro i9 processor. (which shows me, that project takes 135gb to still work).

This is f*cking nonsense and frustrating. The whole day lost with NO solutions and even reinstalled Mac mini M2

Has anyone found a solution this thing keeps coming up every few versions with Adobe on my M1 iMac so brutal there must be a solution
