If i import a clip 4K 60 to my timeline, all of a sudden its lagging like crazy and 16 to 18GB of ram are used just to play it back, is the ram usage normal, the lagging cant be, i run an i5 13600k 32gb of RAM and a RTX4080 and i have got audio sections missing, even if the timeline is showing clear audio spikes( audio issue maybe low battery of my mic but i am not sure cause why is it showing spikes), i tried deleting the cache, change the audio input to no input, reseted everything, nothing worked, last week everything was working fine and today all of a sudden everything feels a lil bit slow , 2x 1TB NVME SSD´S, one of them only 69GB left, its frustrating to have such issues with such a high performing computer, i filmed in XAVCS-1 4K 10BIT

Hi @manuel_0042,

Very sorry for the frustration. We need a few more details to try to help with the issue. Can you confirm your operating system and version and are your drivers up to date? Please see,
How do I write a bug report?

Some additional questions: Do you have any specific effects in use or third-party plugins? Are you working with proxies or multi-cams? Have you tried opening the Progress window/panel to see if anything is happening in the background? Is this happening with new projects as well or just with working/old projects?

Sorry again and hope we can help you soon,
Dani
