I have an issue with the latest version of premiere working fine but progressivley getting slower, then filling all available ram and disk swap, I get a memory error on mac with premiere pro usung in excess of 100GB editing standard 4K footage, footage that never used to have issues until this version.

 

My system 

Macbook pro 16 inch, 32`gb ram M1 Max

latest OS (13.2.1 (22D68))

Premiere 23.2

 

Its happened on multiple projects, some new some old.

 

I've had to revert to the previous version for my own sanity.

 

Does anyone else have this issue?

The original issue that generated this thread, has been fixed. It was related to memory usage around VST plugins. 

[I'm not discounting the possibility that you're encountering a different issue...]

Do you have third party VST plugins installed?

Hi Lee,
I don't know if everyone in this forum thread is suffering from the same issue that you are, but there are two primary components to your particular memory consumption issue.
1.) Your project size is getting overly large (currently 115MB). It's not an unmanagemable size yet, but it's rapidly approaching it. Your project contains  286 sequences, 3990 project items, and 102064 track items. All these items require memory to load. Your best avenue for managing the large project size is to brea

>...it is clear that the error is not just a bug linked to a VST...

Agreed. I would rephrase, that it's clear not all the user issues piled into this thread, were related. 🙂 

> By dialoguing with Autokroma, they found a solution to the problem, by checking the “sync mode” box in the settings tab. >Now it is working great.

Glad to hear it! 

 

Thanks for the follow up.

We haven't received any other reports of behavior like this...

Confirming: While running PPro, it consumes all available RAM, AND fills your entire scratch disk, media cache directory, or both?

What are you mostly doing during those PPro sessions; exporting, editing on the timeline, editing metadata...?

Fills the ram and Mac OS memory cache, so 32gb and then up to 103GB in use on activity manager.

 

when the force quit window pops up premiere stops responding, even closing all other apps.

 

I could replicate it by scrubbing the timeline of clips with no effects or adjustments, it would get slower and slower and eat the ram. Using footages from Sony A7iV (all I 4k 10 bit), and DJI mini 3 pro (4k 10 bit)


I've switched to the previous version, doesn't have the issue.

Ahh; earlier you'd mentioned filling disk cache as well. 

You said multiple projects; were you also using a variety of media? What flavor (codec/format) was your 'standard 4K footage'?

Ahh I meant system ram disk cache which Mac OS uses when the rams full, but yeah definitely 103gb for running a program is extreme.

sony alpha format mp4 all-I 4k 4:2:2 10 bit, and DJI mini 3 pro mp4 with 10 bit

 

both 25 fps 

 

I say standard as that's what I've been editing with for the past year with no issues like this, the previous version of premiere doesn't have the issue

was this issue resolved? I've been having this issue and it's getting increasingly worse.

I'm experiencing it in an almost identical fashion to described (being footage and codecs used).

@Jody Bolder

You mention "FabFilters".  Are you talking about the FabFilter 3rd party audio effects?  If you are, does removing them make a difference to memory consumption?

And still happens when FabFilters are uninstalled

This is happening to me as well now.  Top-of-the-line Mac Studio 128GB Raw is a 9K machine one-year-old, and it was even having trouble running 1080p footage.  WTF is going on!!!!!

Glad to hear it!

 

(also, no apology necessary for not having upgraded; I just wanted to make sure it was still a 23.2 issue)

 

hopefully, 23.4 brings further improvements.

This happened to us yesterday -- running a brand new, full fat Mac Studio, and after allowing Premiere Pro to update to 24.4.1, we instantly began to encounter a memory leak that saw Premiere overspill its RAM allocation to the point of crashing our entire system. 3 hours of troublehsooting later, a phone call to Adobe confirmed they KNOW about the memory leak issue, but decided not to pull the update, or even inform anyone of the risk. We immediately went back to the previous version of Premiere, and the problem disappeared. Quite honestly, I cannot beleive Adobe has allowed this to happen. On top of the stress, we lost thousands in staff line, and missed a key client deadline, because of Adobe's lack of care. Never, ever upgrading an Adobe program in the middle of a project again (stupid us), and may abandon Adobe completely if this is the way they're going to treat Pro users.

This started happening to me. I've been troubleshooting for half a day and can't figure it out.

 

My video is 2 minutes long with basic effects, and I can't edit it for more than 5 minutes before having to force quit.

For your own sanity go back to 23.2 or earlier, the latest versions are seriously broken.
