Premiere Pro 2019 and 2020: video stutters, source Monitor-Program Monitor black, and mouse sticks
Problems:
- Video stuttering in playback in Premiere Pro 2019 and Premiere Pro 2020
- This appeared recently when creating a new video made up of only stills, and music
- Currently the video is only 1.25 minutes long contains about 130 still images each playing for about 1.4 seconds. Only one soundtrack
- Using Chung DHA PRESETS
- Mouse freezing for 2 to 4 seconds during editing
- Source Monitor panel, and Program Monitor will go black
- The only way I know to fix is restart program.
Fixes I have attempted
- At this point Premiere Pro is totally unusable. I ran a system compatible report and found my Nividia driver needed updating. Updated driver no change.
- Ran OCCT stress test on CPU, GPU, Memory. Nothing came close to overheating, and nothing flagged as a problem
- Tried changing audio hardware settings from MME to ASIO per “gamerlearner”-Adobe Support Community.
- In ASIO mode Premiere Pro 2019 and Premiere Pro 2020 will not play. I am not sure how to state this more clearly… When I tap the spacebar to cause my video to play nothing happening. I also tried this in Premiere Pro 2018 with the same result. Note I have all three versions (2018, 2019, and 2020) of Premiere Pro currently installed
- As I started to post this problem I reviewed a post “Premier Pro 2019 - no video in program monitor or source monitor” Where it was suggested “You can sidestep the bug by going File>Project settings> General and changing the renderer to OpenCL.
- I attempted to do this but the only choices I found were Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA), or Mercury Playback Engine software only.
