Premiere Pro 2022 Freezes When Speeding Up Playback

Hey there,

 

I just installed Adobe Premiere 2022 this morning, and I'm now having at least one major roadblock.

 

I edit video for broadcast, which often requires a lot of cutting in a short period of time. And I often speed up playback to figure out what needs to be cut, faster.

 

But after installing Adobe Premiere 2022, I can't speed up playback without the program freezing. If I do, the audio keeps playing, while everything else appears to be frozen in the program. You can press buttons but none of them work.

 

Any advice on this, or any fixes? The program is unworkable for me after this.

    In PrPro version 22.5, this problem has finally been solved. Thank you for my heard requests and prayers. Now playback does not stutter when using the J K L keyboard shortcuts 🖖

    Just FYI to all who may have experienced this at some point: It was a cable issue for me.

     

    Like many video editors, I edit off an external harddrive. I switched out the cable from the external to my system, and am no longer experiencing the issue. I didn't want to delete this post, because I hope it helps someone else who's experiencing this issue.

      Okay, so, nevermind. The cable didn't fix it, that was a fluke. Back to square one, but will make a fresh post if I can't figure it out.

      Hopefully not calling out the obvious here and below your skill level, but what kind of media are you working with?

       

      If it's high bitrate then maybe your drive speed is a bottleneck (assuming it's an HDD).

      If it's H264/5, then I'd be looking at the video codec as the source of the issue. I always make proxies into an intermediate codec if I plan on working quickly with H264/5 media.
