Nested sequence lag

[ReginaldUser555]

Using a nested sequence to edit is essentail for my workflow, but it can be really laggy

What I've discovered though, is if I disable the audio part of the clip within the parent sequence, it runs fine

Seeing as this is more of an audio issue, are there any things I can try to fix this whilst keeping the audio enabled? Both Sequences match (48000k)

Thanks

Does the source audio in your source material match with both sequences as well?

Both Sequences match (48000k)

Yes, it's 48000 wavs. 48000 mp3 and mp4's that are 48000 all across the board

One thing I've noticed is the max in audio preferences is 44:

This is probabaly due to my speaker being 44100

So I ran an expiriment, converted everything to 44100, the same lag persists...

What version of Premiere Pro are you using?

[ReginaldUser555]

Latest Beta, but its the same in 2025

One thing to try is to go to Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Default Input to None. That has solved odd issues with audio before so it´s worth trying.

If it dont help, try to create a test project and use only WAV audio to see if you can recreate it.

How many audio tracks with audio files do you have in the parent sequence?

[ReginaldUser555]

Thanks I set that, and I think it helped

I'm using 1 audio track, and I've read on here that Premiere isn't really optimsed for nested sequences, however what I noticed was how much the audio was the culprit

That sounds great and i hope that it will work! 🙂
