Premiere pro deleting and re-generating peak files + problem with clip speed

[edijselksnis]

Hello! So I want to share my problem and solution with Premiere Pro.

I film with Sony a7s III, sometimes in 120fps. One day, editing new project, I discovered that Premiere pro generates new peak files for each clip (that progress bar in lower right corner) and when generated, it deletes them (I see it as audio waveforms dissapear from clips on sequence one by one), and this re-generation process starts again. Really hard to edit, as this takes up time and computer resources, so it all just gets slower. Also - slow motion. I usually slow down clips by pressing ctrl+r, then dialing percentage. This time when i slowed down 120fps clips, the playback was choppy, as if i shot those clips in 24fps. Tried Interpret footage - the same. Uninstalled, reinstalled, updated Premiere Pro to latest version, nothing changed. Some of you will say "oh, wrong sequence settings, probably shot in 24 not 120fps, bla bla bla". Not in this case, because i have my own workflow for years and bachelor's degree in filmmaking, so i kinda know what i'm doing, ha.

SOLUTION - One day Sony's Catalyst Browse update window popped up, when i opened Premiere Pro. I decided that i should delete this plugin, because i'm not using it that often. So i did it and yes, I got rid of all the problems mentioned above. I never thought that it was caused by some plugin, because when I installed it, everything ran smoothly and only one random day all these problems occured. Also, nothing on this specific problem on the internet, so here you go, if someone has this too! 🙂

Might be silly for me to even reply to this,  but I am still an average user with Adobe Premiere Pro.  I got use to the menus and layout a little bit,  but I am far from learning everything this software does.  In my opionion,  Premiere pro is full of bloated menus among sub menus just to get the desired effect.  It is far from a WSIWYG (what you see is what you get) type of software.  Some would argue that this is a great thing, that way  you can click through 10 different menus to get the desired result.   Nah,  not me,  I feel this software is far too advanced sometimes when it doesn't need to be.

TLDR:  Can you please reply back with how you fixed it by deleting the plugin.  In other words,  how did you get to the plugin area of premiere pro and did you just find ithe plugin and delete it by pressing Delete button?  🙂
