Playback play/stop lag ever since 2020 update

Playback commands have been super laggy ever since I updated to the 2020 version. Playback continues to play for about 3-4 seconds after stopping it. It happens about a 4th of the time, but it's enough to slow my editing way down. Starting playback is the same way. It doesn't matter whether I'm on my 2019 MacBook Pro or my 2017 iMac, it still struggles. I'm on a super fast system with my footage, app, and media cache all on separate thunderbolt SSD drives, so I shouldn't be having this problem. I can't figure it out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I have this problem too. And I'm on a Mac Pro 2019 tower, with proxy footage on NVMe RAID drives, so it's not hardware. Premiere seems to just be fickle like that. A new version will come out and a new problem will present itself. All you can do is hope Adobe fixes it in the next update.

editing software is a complicated beast and all sorts of things can cause problems many of which are not adobe's fault. There are many troubleshooting steps to take which may help you solve your problem. If you want to pursue this, start a new thread and provide the usual info and we can try and figure out what's going on. I worked in Premiere 2020 without any serious issues on both an ancient macbookpro (2012) besides the fact that the lumetri scopes no longer appeared and a relatively new windows custom build. I'm now working in Premiere 2021 without any serious issues on both systems.

Andy, you're still misspelling fallacious... and you are rattling the cage... Let's all step back and try and agree to disagree. I have a feeling that there are people out there using the same mac that benwinter is using preiere without any serious issues. benwinter, would you like to do a teamviewer or zoom session at some point over the weekend and see if I can see if there's anything I can see we're missing in your situation? If so, you can send me a direct message by click on my user name at the head of any of my posts. Most of us here are just other users trying to help, although we do see adobe employees piping up occasioinally to help (much more than we ever saw apple employees helping back in fcp 1- 7 days - I have no idea what's going on in the fcpX forums). Good night everyone. It's been a long day for me and I need some sleep.

mgrenadier,

My spell check does not work in these forums. My bad but I don't see how that is a major issue.

We all need to step back and agree to disagree? For one thing you stated I am rattling the cages but no one else is. I find that very odd. How is pointing out the obvious rattling the cage? Keep in mnd you cannot always agree to disagree. For example the 2019 Mac Pros do not use genric ATX power supplies like desktops from Dell and Lenovo do they? Rather than agree to dissagre wouldn't it be better for people to accept the truth?

Neil at times has been accused of being rude and insulting but if the information is correct it correct. It may not be what people want to hear but that is not Neil's fault. Neil mentions the iMacs color space can be problematic and describes why. It tends to upset some people at times but simply stating false information to make people feel good is not going to help is it? I simply pointed out the 2013 and 2019 Mac Pros are an oddity and Most Mac Pro users admit. In fact articles have been written about it. How is providing facts rattling the cage? Should I tell Benwinter the Mac Pro is not an oddity it is like any other desktop PC from Lenovo or Dell and you can easily swap out the power supply with any generic ATX power supply? Do you see my point?

I know there are people with Mac Pros that work just fine I never stated otherwise. Keep in mind I am not saying the 2013 and 2019 Mac Pros do not work or that they are no good. I am simply stating they are unlike other desktop PCs from Dell and Lenovo. That being said I did want to see Ben's stats and know what audio device was being used. I did not get that information. All I got was fallacious arguments. I simply responded accordingly by correcting some of the information but I am the bad guy? There is no way Benwinter could be a tad bit loyal to Apple? That being said Ben has misinterpreted what I have posted on purpose several times but that is not rattling the cage? Are there settings that could have been changed in Benwinter's audio device? Who knows? Are some of the stats in Benwinters computer a tad bit odd compard to other people with a Mac Pro? Who lnows? We never got that information. Do you kind of see my point? Once again I am not saying there is not a bug in Premire Pro nor did I ever. That being said to state I am rattling the cage is abusrd and you know it.

For audio hardware you can select no input. If you edit H.264 you shoud check to see if Quick Sync is encoding and decoding. I think iStats can do that.

I've actually tried both of those already, and it didn't fixed anything for me. But I really appreciate the reply! Thank you! Hopefully I can find a solution to this super frustrating problem.
