Playhead Stuck: Not Moving Until Video Is Paused

[Lou Hoffmann]

Bug: When I play my media, playhead refuses to move, when I pause the media, playhead lags to where its supposed to be. I can only really catch it moving when its impossibily zoomed in. Sometimes it will lag while moving when the project has been open long enough.

It's been going on for about a year now I'm tired of putting up with it. I've tried clearing my media cache, reseting my saved layout, shift alt when launching, nothing works. After trouble shooting for months I've come to realize when the effect controls are open, the playhead ceases to move whatsoever.

Hello @Lou Hoffmann,

I'm sorry to hear you're having playback issues.  I understand how annoying it can be if the playhead is lagging.  Can you give a few more details about which version of Premiere you're using, your system, and video settings so that we can narrow down the cause?  Please see: How do I write a bug report?  Sorry for the frustration, and thanks for reaching out.  Best!
