Premiere Pro 2024 - Scrolling & Zooming Timeline with Lots of Markers is Extremely Slow and Choppy

[jaydeen99056735]

When I have footage on the timeline with a hundred clip markers laid out on the audio or video track, all of sudden Premiere starts to lag and get very choppy when I'm trying to scroll through the timeline. 

Watch this video to see: https://vimeo.com/1009141632

This is a problem. Earlier versions didn't have this issue.

An example for me having so many clip markers is often times I have music with markers set to the tempo of the songs (matching the BPM). But when I'm scrolling or zooming in and out of the timeline, it's so choppy to navigate and focus on what I'm editing.

I can't believe I still have to use Adobe Premiere Pro 2021 for the smoothest experience to date.

2022 & 2023 have their own separate issues for me and I was hoping to use 2024 by now.

But the lag with the interface when working with multiple markers and clips is a dealbreaker.

Please fix this Adobe!

Still an issue with newest update - 24.4.1 (Build 2)

Needs attention.

STILL an issue with newest update - 24.5.0. (June 2024)

Might even be worse!

How long do I have to wait for a new version worth updating to? It's been 3 years!

Adobe, please fix this ASAP!
