P: Premiere Pro V23.2.0 Frustrating Button Lag in Multicam Edit - Macbook Pro M1 Max & Studio Max

I have just started on a Multicam Edit on my new Apple M1 Max chip 32gb Ram Macbook Pro, and there is a terrible lag between selecting a camera on the keyboard and the edit action happening. This means that every edit is out by about half a second. This something my old 2015 Macbook never had an issue with. Of course I can go back through the whole thing and adjust each cut but this is a 80 min long film and the extra workload is so disappointing given these are supposed to be top notch machines!

 

I also have also tried to edit the same project on a Studio M1 Max and the issue is even worse on this machine. The machine gets stuck with the spinning wheel of death if you scrub forwards/backwards at speed...nightmare

 

The multi cam is three 1080HD H.264 video files and are stored on the same machine. Nothing fancy.

 

Any suggestions?

      For me, Version 23.0 is also laggy during MultiCam editing. Had to rollback to 22.6.4. (using macOS big sur-11.5.2)

      For me I only had issues with Multicam in V23.2, non-multicam sequence worked ok. v23.1 (mac) multicam is working as expected.

        Glad you got things working. 

        Confirming: In 23.2, every non-multicam sequence worked great, and it was only multicam that gave you trouble? Or did you experience laggy performance with ordinary sequences, as well?

        Regarding Premiere Pro v23.2 / Mac 13.2.1; starting with this version, I am now experiencing poor timeline performance when doing a multicam edit. With 7 layers of video at 1080p ProRes HQ, after 8-10 minutes of playing the timeline, the playback becomes choppy, and edits are no longer accurate.

         

        After finishing the multicam sequence edit I place that sequence into another sequence and do not experience another slowdown, or choppy performance for the rest of the project.

          I have multicam problems in 23.1 version also (PC). In version 22 (.6.4) everything is OK. If you do milticam editing avoid version 23 until Adobe fix this bug (hopefully).

            Hi. I`m working a lot with multicam editing and after upgrading to 23.2 my timeline after a while just not working. If I stop using spacebar it takes 5-7 seconds before it respond and stops. If I zoom in and out, it takes seconds before anything happens. Everything is slow. This happens when my multicam window is open, if I close it, its better.  If I go back to 23.1 everything works fine. 

            23.2 should fix a problem with the timeline, but it seems to me that a new one occured.

            I have the problem using both ProRes or XAVC 100 (MXF). I`m working on a Mac Studio, M1 Ultra (2022). Monterey 12.6. The files are about 2 hour long each

            I have tried to delele cache and user several times.

              I have the same problem on PC, Timeline lags when starting and jump and sometimes playback cant be stopped even if you press space. Restart of system work, but it will be a problem after some time again. Feels like memory leak on gpu or ram or something. I went back to 2022 version

                Hey, Everyone! My computer is working great with Premiere Pro except with multicam editing. It works great for 3–4 minutes, and then I see the time indicator start to slow down and lag with a very slow response rate when I press any key, and then Premiere starts to not respond at all. That happens every time I use multicam editing (only multicam; everything else is working great). I've had this problem for a long time, and I use the most recent version of Premiere Pro, and everything is always up to date, including my drivers. Here are my computer's specifications. Check out the screenshot.
                CPU: i8 8700k | Windows 11
                Gigabyte GTX 1070 (I use GPU acceleration (CUDA) from Premiere Pro)
                Could you please advise me on what I should do?
                Would it be helpful to upgrade my graphic card?

                  Have you tried editing on windows 10 previously? if not, I'd suggest you to do that. But not 100% sure it'll fix the problem. you can try at least if you want.

                  Loads of others reporting issues with Multicam on V23.2. This link recommends downgrading to V23.1

                  I have done this and I am no longer having any multicam issues...clearly a bug in V23.2

                    Hi there i have come across a bug in build 23.2. on windows 10

                    When multicaming a sequence, the playhead never stops playing and the camera selections are laggy.

                    Premiere screen will go white and the playhead is still moving.

                     

                    The fix was to roll back to 23.1.

                      I am having the same issue and wasted so much time troubleshooting this on multiple machines. I thought it was our network drives at first but I turns out it's the software. Please put out an update so we can finish out projects.
