It is very likely that your CPU is severely underpowered for any type of 4k video editing whatsoever. In fact, a seven-year-old quad-core CPU that is only capable of single-threading (as in it completely lacks hyper threading) is barely suitable for even 1080p video work these days.

 

And due to the design of all video editing programs, Premiere Pro must consume a certain minimum amount of CPU processing power before it can utilize the GPU at all. Otherwise, all NLE programs - Premiere included - will choke.

 

As it is turning out, the i5-6600 is not quite powerful enough to even run any newer version of Premiere Pro properly. Worse, Intel driver support for that CPU and all other 6th-through-10th Generation CPUs has recently been depreciated into Legacy status.

 

And the fact that the RTX 2080 SUPER GPU that you have is seriously overqualified for your CPU is not helping matters even one iota.

As always, what media, what effects used, and what specific version of PrPro?

Zero effects, proxies and low res preview same issue, cpu taxes out and gpu under utilized. Most recent PrPro. I think ive traced it to the Canon R5 footage. So frustrating that new equipment cant jive without added steps to the workflow.

HI

thanks for the answer. for now i rolled back to an older Nvidia stidio driver which helped a lot.
like many here say, i love Premire but the amount of bugs and crashes due to version update is ridicilous.

Here's the problem:

 

Until the very recent announcement of the legacy support for Skylake through Comet Lake CPUs, Intel has been doing this (depreciating or even completely discontinuing support of its older parts) without telling any of the consumers a single word about it. It may have told the software companies, who also fail to tell its consumers about this.

 

At least Intel did tell its consumers (who actually visit the chipmaker's Web site directly) about the impending depreciation or EOSL of its Skylake-derived parts - which means everything from the 6th- through 10th-Gen CPU parts. Nvidia does the same (at least for those consumers who visit the GPU maker's Web site directly, and not just the PC manufacturers' Web sites, who are guilty of the exact same hiding-the-truth offense) for its older GPUs.

 

In other words, everyone involved, not just Adobe, has been hiding the truth from its consumers. Adobe only did what someone else told it to do.


Respecfully, as I mentioned, I am an intel software/hardware partner - that means I have access to their teams and I just reached out and was told that this is "BS".  Intel knows about Adobe's issues and knows that Adobe is blaming them and their position is that this is a bug in Premiere 23.

 

LIKELY - it will be fixed in a future revision (unless Adobe wants to loose every user on an Intel CPU and NVIDIA GPU to someone like Davinci) but they will probalby not admit fault, it will just be "fixed" magically as so many other little issues are after they tell us "its not a bug".

Hi there is nothing real i can add. the footage is 4K from sony a6400 with no plugins and the problem is more when there are 2 layers of clips one over the other.
