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! 🙂
