23.1 Update GUI Slowly Becomes Sluggish While Working, Restart Fixes

[ghuff]

I didn't have this issue on 23.0, but 23.1 now the GUI slowly becomes more laggy until it's annoying enough to make me restart, which then solves the laggy GUI issue, but then it slowly comes back as I work.

I am on a 2017 iMac currently. 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 64GB of RAM, 2TB SSD, and Radeon Pro 580 8 GB. This happens both with project files created in 23.0 and new ones created in 23.1.

Hi, I just wanted to add my experience.

I'm cutting audio, wav-files. Almost no video, except for a small segment (<2min) of a prores mov and h264 mp4 and a few AE dynamic link compositions. Very simple project with 6 audio tracks (dialogues with few sounds and bit of music).

After 10 min or so the UI becomes sluggish. Scrolling the timeline, scrubbing the playhead, marking clips becomes so slow and unresponsive. It looks like it's running at 20fps instead of 60.

Closing the timeline and reopening it fixes it.

23.1.

Hi

Any update on this issue?

My projects go slow - some with, some without proxies.

If its a pulgin issue - how do i fix? If I want to roll back will I have to roll the lugins back too?

Thnx

Hi, revmilo,

Thanks for the note. Are you on macOS or PC? Can we have more info about your system and media?

Thanks,

Hi Kevin

Thanks for the reply - it is MacBook Pro 2017 - OS Big Sur. Footage is 4K from Sony FX6 and various others.

I changed to Prem Pro 23.1 - sluggish problem fixed but Proxies are very problematic. Continuous crashes when making proxies - unbelievably sluggish when editing with 4K footage compared to previous Prem versions.

Main issue is FX6 footage records 8channels of audio - proxies must have same meaning problems. Got any advice?

Thanks
