Premiere Super Slow all of the Sudden

[Garret5CEE]

Issue: I have been using Premiere for a project for the past year or so and the project has gotten quite large, but it has been running smooth until today where it is constantly frozen and lags. It started after importing new footage but after going away for a bit, it just started back up while I was editing on the timeline.

Since it has stopped working I have:

Cleared Cache

Update Premiere and Drivers

Uninstalled any Plugins

Created a Production instead of Project to separate files

Checked all my settings and had GPU acceleration on

Restarted Software and PC.

When looking at my task manager, nothing is peaking in use, not my CPU, GPU or drives. 

Adobe Premiere Version: Problem started on an older version of 25 but continued on 25.2.1

Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

Video format: I have connected to it a couple hundred GBs of footage but most all on SSDs and like I said, has been working fine till today. Most of the videos are OBS recordings and are mp4s. 

Specs: Ryzen 9 5900x, RTX 3070, 48 GB 2400MHz RAM, SSD around 3k read/write speed

Hi @Garret5CEE 

and welcome to the Premiere Pro Forum community. Could you share the project file with us and we can take a look and see if there is anything that stands out in the project or project settings that could be causing this. 

Thank you

Ian

I am happy to share the file, but I can't put it in here, how would you like me to share it?

Thank you @Garret5CEE  for the project file. The team and I are looking at it and checking sequence settings and for anything that stands out that may be causing the issue. I have send you some direct messages with more questions I have that may help us solve this.
