Lag in Premiere Pro

[nancyt1221]

I have been having issues with my Premiere. When I open and import my media there seems to be a lag with clicking any of the functions. If I want to expand the view of the video or audio bars, I click the sliders and have to hit the space bar for it to take effect. This is also the same for cutting clips. I am also unable to scroll through the different audio/video channels. This has now been going on for a day and none of my other Adobe programs have been having issues like this one. I am unable to add in any transitions or click many of the options. Is there any way to fix this?

Using the correct terminology would go a long way here.  I have NO idea what you're talking about.

Actually I have the same problem. So here is a video so you can understand this problem better.

I found a temporary way to unfreeze the project. What I did that I made a copy of a random short clip and rendered and replaced it. Then suddenly, the project became normal. But if I delete the rendered clip from media (Not from the timeline) the problem comes again. Hope this helps but this problem still lacks a proper solution or reason. I don't know when it might happen next

Try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:

Reset a workspace

Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.

1. Do one of the following:
   • Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
   • Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

If that doesn’t work ,try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site.

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Yeah about copying the files into the new project, it works, but then this happens: Copying linked clips from one project to another
