Not too pleased with the latest update of PP. It is so slow that it is practically unusable to me. Just trying to play my timeline with simple unmodified videos is not possible anymore as the lag is too much. I have cleared my cache, turned down playback resolution, and tried everything I can to at least make it usable but it is just too slow.
I am running an aged PC Windows 10 workstation but I have a processor with 6 cores, 16GB of RAM, and a decent video card. Just a few weeks ago before the 2018 update everything was fine and PP was quite peppy. I am not sure if there is anything else I can try or not. To me it seems like something is just bad with the latest update.
I do recommend Cineform proxies for all H.264 media.

Go into the Preferences and turn off all you dont need.
Also in sequence settings: composite in linear color, max bitdepth and max render quality.
Also check Hardware settings.
If that does nothing
uninstall, use cleanertool, and reinstall.
Use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

Same problem. Hitting PLAY takes 5 seconds. Insert and Overwrite edits from keyboard take 10-15 seconds, though drop and drag is the same. CC 2018 OS 10.12

Also, everytime I crash and restart, or every morning, the same .MTS files are conforming.

Same thing with me, insert/overwrite edits take forever. Oddly, if you drag it down using the mouse rather, it's more or less instantaneous.

Yes I'm experiencing the same issues. cut and paste clips from one bin to another is also really lagging. Insert / overwrite clips from source takes forever as well, but if you drag it down it's fine. Sadly, I use my KEYBOARD FOR EDITING!!!!And this is unacceptable. Rolling back to 2017 until Adobe figures this out. What blows my mind is how / why is this still a problem.

What kind of media are you using?

MP4's with WAV audio files. It is very simple and straight forward. Everything worked fine before the latest update.

Wow! I never knew about this feature and it has helped tremendously. I still think there is something terribly less efficient with the latest version but this puts me back in business. Using this feature it is actually better than before. Thanks!

for me proxies don't seem to work. It doesn't start making proxies when I ask the computer to do so. I have fs7 4k files maybe that's the thing. At the moment also the 2017 version doesn't work. Can it have something do with the sierra update half december? Maybe the nvidia cards don't work good after that update?

Thanks for sharing! Solved the lag problem.

Jim, just because using proxies will work, doesn't mean it fixes the primary problem of premiere running slow. If it worked just fine for him before the update, it should work just fine after the update with the same media. Using the premiere "duck tape" method isn't the solution.

Mine is useless same problem and it crashes, even when you shut it down you end up doing so with the Task Manager. I have uninstalled/reinstalled three times now and tried clearing caches, changing settings and it makes no difference. I've now gone back to running 2017. I am running an i7 (admittedly a series 3) have 32 Gb Memory and an Nvidia GTX 970.

Renaming a simple sequence hangs 10+ seconds for me, absolutely way worse than the hang in CC2017 when importing something off a network.

Answered? For SD 720x576 .mts files create proxy??? Do you have brain? PP CC 2017 playing .mts SD files without 1-2 sec lag...

No, Proxy editing is NOT the solution, and it doesn't make a difference anyhow. I've tried and overwrite/insert commands using keyboard still take forever.

WoW... Installed today trial version of competition video editing software and can't believe...
Imported 120 Gb of 1080 50p mts files for 45 sec, dropped to timeline and start editing... Scrubbing? Not scrubbing, flying... No scratch disk, no conforming files, clips are on 7200rpm HDD, spanned 4gb limit clips recognized, and very strange thing if you hit play no lag...
Speed performance comparison? Premiere = bicycle, competition = spaceship...
Adobe you going at wrong way...

Ok you got me... what other trial software program did you download?...
PREMIERE PRO 2018 is a slug compared to 2017 version, I don't have time to wait for Adobe to wake up to all these messages and provide a solution.
I'm a pro editor that needs to finish my current projects on time without all the BS time lags that this update has come with

Dear Adobe,
Has anyone on your team figured this problem out yet!?!?
These actions - Importing clips, overwrite / insert, cut and paste clips, ARE VERY VERY SLOW!!!! This is regardless of the type of media Im working with, be it 720p, 1080p, 4k h264, prores etc. Doesnt change a thing.

Same thing here - I also dont think my PC is botlenecking - 2017 version was fine. I really dont want to roll back because that would mean reverting current projects to 2017 with xml's 😕 I usually never instal new verions of premiere till at least firs patch but this time i could not resist due to - opening multiple projects functionality being finally implemented and this is something i used heavily in my workflow during Fcp 7 days and now with premiere. So kudos for this at least.

Insert edits using keyboard take couple of seconds and sometimes up to a minute with premiere not responding message. And I have all my media convertet to dnx 720p proxy file like always. Generally zooming out of timeline ang general timeline scrubbing also seems more sluggish than v2017. I can also confirm that drag and drop has no lag. only keyobard shortcuts seem to be affected. This is really painfull adobe - please help.
PS- this post has ben tagged as resolved - and the recomendation is to use proxies. This i think is missleading as this seems to be a v2018 uptade issue, not at all conected to proxy workflow or non proxy workflow for that matter, as people have reported that it really does not matter. Can we keep this thread alive please by removing this recommendation?

I agree, I'm going to start a new post regarding this.

I agree .....havent checked out the latest update yet but in any case proxies are not the answer when the same project works on 2017 but not on 2018. The problem is NOT solved. Its just swept under the carpet.
