Today, I have realized, in my laptop (MacBook air 2020 m1 - 16 GB ram) premiere pro being slow. 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. In the past, I can use the app easily but right now when I am using premiere pro I'm gonna crazy! Because it's too slow and it is freezing frequently! would it do because of the new version? what can I do?

 

Thanks!

Also having the same issue. I can't even add fc to a to a 20sexond clip with out the sequence image going black. It's very frustrating.

I'm having the same issue with speed of program. PP2021 was fine, I just loaded PP2022 4/28/2022 and I feel like I'm running a 486.

I have:  HP Intel Core i7 @1.80gh with 12 GB RAM Using Windows 11

PP version 22.31 (Build2)

I was only making a 20 sec Intro and to move anything around the screen was choppy at best. Constantly overshooting my mark. When I finally got everything where I thought I needed them, I did an export. For 20 sec spot, took nearly 10 min to export. I exported to 720x480, Format h.264 performance hardware encoding, profile high, level, 4.2, CBR bitrate 4257, and NO AUDIO.  Any suggestions appreciated.

Again, didn't have this problem prior to upgrade.

Hey Mfu! I think we need more information. I have used the Macbook Air 2020 M1 and had no issues after long term use. I am now using the Mac Studio Max (64gb RAM). Again, I have had 0 issues with the project loading and overall minimal issues. I want to note that the latest version is actually 22.3, and I saw improvements from 22.2. 

It will also become more and more optimized with your silicone chip in the future. I would suggest contacting adobe support and they can help you troubleshoot. For now, I would reset preferences and clear cache. If that doesn't work maybe give premiere a nice reset- delete it and reinstall it and see how it might improve.

 

In this case I don't think this is an issue with adobe

Hi there!

Sorry to hear that, Does this happen on a specific project? Have you tried resetting preferences and deleting cache files?

 

Let us know.

Thanks,

Kartika

I have done both of these things and it's still unusably slow. I'm about to download finalcut because waiting 30 seconds for every single tiny timeline edit to load is ridiculous.

Hi, alepeinador,

Sorry for your issues. Is there anything I can do to help smooth your workflow? I don't have much trouble editing with the current version. Perhaps I can help. If you don't like the UI, you can work around it. If you have performance problems, you can also work around those. Let me know.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

I'm not sure about the version released today, but adding multiple effects to clips hass made it opperate slower than the versions that came out last year. I have been praticing making hologram videos, and sometimes it slows down, sometimes it won't open the source media files... there have been a plethora of issues with this recent update and I may have to revert back to an ealier version that worked better for the videos I am trying to make.
