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 🖖

    I'm glad I'm not going crazy... Updated in the middle of an edit and am all of a sudden I'm stuck. Switching back to 2021 for now until it's patched.

      I have discovered that this issue only happens to me when I'm using JKL in a sequence with a multicam clip.

        I agree and have replicated the issue across a dozen different systems (all Macs - iMacs, iMac Pros, and Macbook Pros) in our facility.  Any attempt to create a multicam clip and use JKL to shuttle through it freezes the application. The audio continues to play, but the video and playhead freezes, requiring a force quit.  This is a pretty huge issue, as our documentary workflows require a lot of mutlicam and a lot of shuttling through that footage quickly.  Moving all our machines back to 2021.  Will also add a +1 and comment to the User Voice link mentioned below.

        This process is still being observed. For those who are doing well with playing Playhead on the timeline, which is unlikely, just set turn on playback with the Space key, and then use double acceleration and you will understand. That everyone is fine with playing???? AW AW AW, are you all silent

        I'm not having freezes but my video stops playing and the playhead freezes.

          Hi all!

          These projects that are freezing during a fast forward playback – were they created in Premiere Pro 2022? Or were they created in 2021 and then updated to 2022? This will help us find a permanent solution, thanks.

          I should also add I only work in multi cam edits so I don't know how it affects standard clip based sequences.

          Hey everyone,

           

          I'm happy to report that, after reverting to Premiere Pro 2021, I'm not having this issue. Hopefully it will be resolved in the next patch of 2022. I'll keep trying when that happens.

            Write to the developers using the user's voice and ask them this question when they fix it.
            In general, an application used in the cinematography industry should not contain such obvious flaws. This, first of all, will not allow you to normally select, collect material on the timeline. Where do Adobe look when they release updates with such errors that are immediately visible.

            Same issue on a 2021 Macbook Pro M1 Max running Monteray (for me the program just stalls but eventually I have control again). My friend has the same isssue as well on a 2010 Mac Pro running Catalina (his just crashes). To clarify, when we use the J/K/L keys to scrub faster/slower.

              Same issue here. Generally I get very sluggish, almost unusable 4K 10-bit (GH-5) performance since upgrading to pp2022.

              I use an SSD that reads 550mb/s and a 5700 xt and never had speed issues with this combination before.

              Also Blackmagic RAW Benchmark (for what it's worth) gives me only 1/3rd fps since upgrading OSX to latest BigSur and PP2022

              Switching back to pp21 if thats not solved soon

                I'm switching back to 21 this afternoon to see if the error goes away for me. I'll report back what I find.

                Hi all,

                 

                I'm attaching a screen recording so you can see what's going on. So, usually at this point, it plays out frozen like this for at least 30 seconds. Sometimes, it then stops, and jumps back to where it froze. Other times, it just doesn't stop (or maybe I didn't wait long enough.)

                  Thanks for your post, I have encountered what appears to be the identical issue on a Windows 10 setup, I've created a separate post here, before someone kindly located and pointed me towards yours:

                  https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/premiere-pro-cc-2022-crashes-on-fast-forward/m-p/12530449#M379171

                   

                  You can see a few things we've tried in that thread (disabling hardware acceleration, updating drivers, etc), all with no effect. After reinstalling, it appears PP2021 does not have this issue.

                   

                  The only other info I have is that appears to be related to the file size, I can scrub smaller source files without locking up (12GB or less), my bigger files (35GB) lock reliably during scrubbing every time.
