Delay After Pressing Spacebar (Play)

For me it's the reverb effect that does that. Idk if that gonna help anyone.

I had this same issue, was working with PP2020. Opened the project in PP2021 and it worked fine. PP2020 has been fine up until day. Not really sure why.

Not sure if this will help anyone but this was happening to me. I cleared cache, created proxy, made new project file since it was a new update. Nothing worked. 

I did update my graphics card as a Hail Mary and that worked. For now.... I'm on a RTX 3070 and so far there is no stuttering or lag on the space bar. Hope this saves someone some frustration.

same problem, adobe doesn't care

I have the same problem too. If I put the play head at the very end of the timeline and press space bar, it's only a second delay. After that, it's immediate. But once you move the playhead again, it's a second delay. Much better than the 10 second delay I was getting. Working with a very strong desktop and using proxies.

What's the solution for this I'm having the same problem.

Same issue. I have about 5-10 seconds delay each time I press the spacebar, even if I display the video small and with 1/4 resolution, and even if it is pre-rendered.

Same issue here. Anyone figure this out?

I have a project that is driving me mad with a delay on the spacebar (up to 30 seconds!).  I have tried everything - even exporting XML and recreating in CC2018.  It worked for a bit and then went the same way.

Literally just now I have found something wierd.   If I put the playhead at the end of the timeline - it finds the frame within a couple of seconds, and then moving around the timeline goes fairly normally from that point forward.  No idea what is going on - extremely frustrating.

I am editing a project right now that is due 3 hours ago. This is so frustrating. I pay for Adobe products and I get glitches.  I need a fix please.  I have cleared my caches already.
