Premiere Pro Displaying Glitching on Footage on M1 iMac

Hey everyone, I recently bought the new M1 iMac with 16GB of RAM (the highest available), and I was super excited to get working on my 4K Sony A7SIII footage since I had heard that the M1 chip should edit smooth as butter. Unfortunately, the editing is just as choppy, including dropped frames and now a glitching effect (sort of like little "tears" in the clips) throughout my clips that shows up in the source monitor, program monitor, and when the clips are exported. Am I missing something here? Since Premiere is now native, these things shouldn't be happening. Anybody know a fix? Attaching a screenshot of the glitching for reference.

        Having the same issue. I have an M1 Macbook Pro with 16gigs of RAM. Footage from my sony a7iii works just fine, but footage from my a7siii is unusable. I hope this gets fixed soon! The only work-around I have found is to switch back to the intel version of premier.

        Hi everybody!

        Thank to Reddit I have fixed this weird glitchy issue. So the main problem lays in the newest update 15.4. There must be a bug in the update. 

        What you should do to get rid of the bug is just re-install to an earlier version of Premiere Pro. So I re-installed the 15.2 version and it fixed the issues!

        Good luck!

          Omg... I'm dealing with the very same issues as you.. At first I was freaking out but my footage is captured clean. I hope they find a fix very soon because I have some deadlines to catch. 😞

            Hi all,

             

            Sorry for your issue.

            The Premeire Pro devs are aware of this issue and working on a fix. In the meantime, try trascoding the footage to ProRes. If that doesn't help, try the previous version.

            Let us know which workaround worked for you.

             

            Thanks,

            Nishu

                  Super sorry about that, Emily. What kind of footage is the camera generating? Is it XAVC 10 bit 4K? Any possibility of receiving a file that I can pass along to engineering?

                   

                  Thanks,
                  Kevin

                      I also have a new M1 Mac and have had the same problem with footage imported from my Sony FX3 (which is basically the same camera)!

                        Good to know I'm not alone, it's so irritating, and shouldn't be doing this!
