Question

Premiere Pro is slow and crashes on my high End PC

Hi!

I am facing the issue if choppy, laggy and crashy experience with Pr.

Currently, My PC specs are:

i5 12400 (6-core)

RTX 3050 8GB

32 GB Ram 3200 MHz

 

I had 16gb of RAM and no GPU recently, and I was facing this same issue. I thought upgrading the ram and buying the GPU will definitely solve the problem because from everyone I heard, they advised me to go for GPU.

 

But even after upgrading to the high specs, I'm still getting the same kind of issues.

  • I'm getting the crashes most of the time whenever I apply heavy effect on to my video in my timeline, even though the videos I work on are 1080, full HD. Never 4k.

I'm a bit disappointed right now and very frustrated too because I am a Video Editor and I usually don't have much time to solve this problem again and again, and yet no results!

I'd really appreciate suggestions/advices or any other kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    What are the hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, what capacity, and how full)?

    Make sure to use the latest Studio Driver from NVIDIA (NOT the Game Driver).

    I have two drives.
    One is 256GB NVMe SSD on which all the programs including Premiere Pro are installed. Having 79GB of free space.

    Second is a typical Hard drive of 1TB which has three partitions.

    1.  531 GB of which 49 GB is free (project data and all other output is saved here), but it's worth considering that I had the same issues even before I had more than 150 GB free space on this drive. 
    2.  249 GB of which 55 GB is free
    3.  149 GB of which 32 GB is free

    That may not be enough free hard drive space for temp and system files.

    It is not recommended to use partitioned drives with Premiere Pro, as performance will suffer.

    It is also recommended to use fast SSDs, and not HDDS.

      Hi @Farhan-Iqbal,

      I read your note. Sorry for the negative experience. Performance issues are often media-related, especially game streams, mobile phone video, video from drones, etc. What kind of media are you operating with? Have you tried transcoding to ProRes LT or creating ProRes proxy files? Try that and report back.

       

      Thanks,
      Kevin

      Thank you Kevin for your response.
      I usually operate with stock media from stock websites and sometimes footage recorded from my Android device.
      All at 1080p Full HD.

      And no I haven't tried to transcode to ProRes LT but will surely try that and will report back. 
      Thanks again.
