Choppy Playback

[Alan Atchley]

I put clips in a Project, try to view it and it is choppy. Tried Everything. Thing I tried are listed down below, might've forgot to put some stuff I tried. Idk what to do, and I need it for work. If I render the video. it works perfectly fine, but I can not review it in the playback feed. Can't be the clips I am using, they work perfectly fine everywhere but in Premiere Pro's Playback. Can anyone help me with this?

Uninstall and Reinstall Premiere Pro

Using Different Clips, Recorded with different Recording Devices

Cleared Cach & Database

Closed Program through Task Manager

Lowered Playback Quality to the lowest it can be

So uhhhh, I wen into a discord call with my friend to show him and see if he can figure it out, as I am sharing my screen it out of no where all of a sudden... it works. So nvm about helping me, I didn't do anything differently but at least it works now. Would be nice if someone knows what is wrong with it though just in case it happens again.

HI Alan,

Game footage? It means your media might not be optimized for editing. Perhaps you've got VFR media and Premiere Pro is having difficulty playing it back. Try making proxies or transcoding the footage in Media Encoder. If that doesn't work, you can transcode it in something like Shutter Encoder. This is a very common issue.

Thanks,
Kevin
