Premiere Pro 2024 Unacceptably Slow.

I’m posting an update here: I ended up completely wiping my internal drive and manually reinstalling all my apps with fresh settings/preferences. This greatly speeded up my Premiere performance. So, so, so many bugs went away too.

Also, I recently came across a ProVideo Coalition post which explained to me (for the first time) that the hierarchy of Adobe Premiere Pro files must be that the project's source materials be in the same folder at PremierePro’s project. Since 2020 I’ve been storing projects in ADJACENT folders, which I believe is the reason why my files would keep unlinking. Not only did this appear to solve the linking problem, but linking files happens much faster now and Premiere runs even more smoothly, sI’m posting this here as a naked admission of ignorance and mild stupidity in the hopes this helps other people.

This update is horrible. I edit with two timelines open and the lag time is over 3 seconds clicking back and forth in the timelines on multiple computers, laptops, remote systems. I need to be quick in premiere and this update is slowing me down so much i want to throw my computer out the window.

I can't downgrade because we upgraded company-wide & we're all using 24.6.3. 

FIX THIS FRANCIS IM LOSING MY MIND AND WORRIED THAT 2025 WILL BE WORSE

Literally every button click takes a minute to register - even something as small as adjusting the size of the work panes, which isn't even actually editing anything. The program is completely unusable, and I've tried everything from updating my drivers, updating Windows, restarting the computer, uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere...nothing works. When I check my task manager, I'm only using 26% of my CPU and 15% of my memory, and every other program on my computer works just fine, including some pretty CPU-intensive games. It's specifically Premiere that suddenly is complete garbage ad I don't know what to do about it.

AWFUL UPDATE. Every change on the timeline causes the video line to refresh, which takes agonizing minutes, something that used to take no more than a couple of seconds even on very large videos.

For me it is not that extreme, but i did notice , to stabalise a 100 frames of footage, it takes less than 1 minute before the update, and now its 4 minutes, not to mention all the frezzes,  spinning wheels,  what these things do is they conctantly breaking up my chain of thoughts when editing.    

It is so bad that it drives me to purchase a Davinci resolve studio and forced me to learn a new software (im a slow learner)..  But I did the same stabalisation on davinci ,  it literall took 3 seconds....

Adobe Premiere Pro 2024 is by far the worst Premiere Pro update I've ever had in all my years of using Premiere Pro. It's simply unusable.

I keep getting the spinning wheel (Mac) whilst doing the most basic of tasks and has brought my workflow to pretty much a stand still. I'm on a more than sufficient machine (16 inch M1 max, 64GB RAM, 2 TB storage) and I've checked storage, RAM usage and caches but nothing fixes the issues. Clearing the caches fixes the issue for maybe 20 mins? Then the same problems persist again and again. 

I have absolutely no idea what Adobe have done with this update, but it should be avoided until (hopefully) Adobe sort out these issues, which I highly doubt. I have downgraded to Premiere Pro 2023 and everything works PERFECTLY.

This is simply not good enough for the amount that people pay for the creative cloud subscription. Sort it out!
 

Update from me:

on the advice of Bruce @ Adobe, I have been running the latest "beta" version for a week now.

I notcie the same thing. Beach ball circling with ever action,  I have 128 gigs of Ram and have been edinting just fine up until this version.  Doubling my editing time for simple projects due to aiting for software to catch up to key straoke and mouse clicks.. Maybe time to move to Divinci

Recently solved some big probelms by removing my 3rd party extensions. Tried getting the latest PP download to see if the extensions were the issue there as well. They were not. Back to the earlier versions I go.

Adobe makes it very easy. Open your Creative cloud app. Left column, click Apps. Find the app you want an older version of (e.g. Premiere Pro) in the list. Click the three dots on the right side.  Close "other versions" click the second one of the list to go back one version. It will uninstall the current version and replace it.
