'Close Gap' and 'Ripple Delete' causes lag

[Cayman31612490ngwh]

Whenever I use the 'Close Gap' or 'Ripple Delete' buttons on my sequence, it causes my sequence to lag for 10 seconds or so. The program does not freeze, as I'm still able to move my marker around, but during these 10 seconds, I am unable to move/select anything in my sequence, view the playback, or go to another sequence. Also, during the lag, the area where the yellow line is does not move with the clip--it presents as if the clip is still in the same area as it was before I moved it--but fixes itself after 10 seconds. This issue is only occuring in one project, but is happening with all the sequences in this project. I've never had this issue or any lagging-related problems before and has only started today.

(I am using Premiere Pro 2023 on Windows 11 verison 22H2)

What are the complete computer specs, including hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, what capacity, and how full)?

If NVIDIA graphics, make sure to use the latest Studio Driver from NVIDIA (NOT the Game Driver).

I am also having this issue, and just submitted a bug report as well:

As I mentioned on your thread (default) I'm not seeing that behavior. It could be that your hardware plus video codec has met it's match. What kind of video clips are you using. I tested it with HD clips, one ProRes proxy and the other h.264.

Yeah I've been having this problem too. No changes to my hardware or drivers or anything, just one day sometime this month I loaded up premiere pro and ripple deletes and stuff like dragging a clip to shorten or lengthen it sometimes causes the program to just lock down for about 10 seconds before it goes back to normal.and lets me carry on.

If I drag a clip into place rather than ripple deleting there's no issue. If I want to shorten a clip I just ctrl+k it to get around the lag that comes with dragging to change duration. I was not having this problem in any way shape or form until recently so I assume an update dropped and installed without telling me that caused it.

I won't be dropping any useful information like specs to help figure out what is up, but know that these people are not the only ones.

It had gotten so bad I reverted to the previous version I had, 22.0 - smooth as butter again. Something about the new update just breaks performance completely.

Is reverting to an old version still the only fix as of right now? I'm having the same problem and cannot find any information on how to fix it.

Here's a google search for you: Paste the below into Google

Unfortunately, yes. Reverting is the only possible fix at the moment. I reverted to 2022 and it works great now.

I have been having the same issue too! Have another forum query open and have followed all of the tips there but it hasn't fixed mine. 

When reverting to a previous PremierPro version, did your project carry on okay?

I've been working on something for months and really worried I'll corrupt or loose what I've got.

[riut]

I didn't have any problems when I reverted to an earlier version, you shouldn't either.

Could probably just make a backup of the project somewhere then revert, should anything go wrong you can just return to the current version your project is working with and resume with the backup.

Sorry about the issue. Can you share system details (OS, CPU, RAM, GPU)? Which exact version of Premiere Pro did you have this problem? Could you provide a screen recording of the issue? 

Let us know. Happy to assist. Thanks. ^KR
