Hello,

 

I'm experiencing lagging in the premier pro, I've tried installing different versions of the graphics driver but the problem persists. 

 

My laptop specs are:

 

• Intel Core i7-13650HX

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB

• 32GB DDR5 RAM

• 1TB NVMe SSD

 

I'm running Windows 11. Is there any solution you can suggest?"

The laptop version of desktop devices like GPUs is never as powerful as the desktop one. They are built to work with less power consumption and other resources ... and you can't reduce power and computing resources without a hit on overall performance.

 

For instance, my 2080Ti in my laptop is nowhere near the performer, with the same media & effects, as the 2080Ti on my desktop.

 

So you are looking at typically at least somewhat throttled performance especially when unplugged, although often "power settings" are set to conserve power even plugged in. So check that when plugged in, the power settings allow that thing to run full bore.

 

Next ... only an 8GB GPU, with only 32GB of system RAM, and probably somewhat limited cache abilities ... that's another thing lowering capabilities. And it's essentially a 6 core CPU with "helper" cores, as one expert put it.

 

What's the media and effects you are using when lagging?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

First of all, thank you for answering.

You are absolutely right, but I added 1080p 30fps footage without any effects in Adobe Premiere, and I’m still experiencing lag.

My main purpose is to transfer videos captured on my iPhone in 4K resolution, then reduce the resolution to 1080p, and add some text as subtitles with a little animation.

That's all I want to do.

Additionally, my laptop is always plugged in, and the power settings are set to performance mode.

Considering the decent power of my graphics card, I believe I should be able to edit 1080p videos without any issues. Also, when the video is playing, there is no noticeable load on the graphics card or CPU in the Task Manager.

If there are any questions I need to answer, please feel free to ask, as I’m new to this and unsure what information might be required.

I apologize for the delayed response. I've tried various solutions, including installing the 2023 version, reinstalling the 2024 version, and testing different videos based on your suggestions. However, I'm still experiencing lag, particularly during the first second. After that, the yellow bar remains but doesn't turn red. If I add an effect, though, it does change to red.

This has been frustrating as I purchased this laptop specifically to learn Adobe Premiere and After Effects. I don't encounter issues with DaVinci Resolve, where the FPS stays at 60, but due to its limited animations, I can only use it for basic editing and color correction.

I hope you can help me find a solution. Thank you.


Hello how are you?

I have the same problem as you with a similar PC.

did you solve the problem? I bought this notebook with the intention of editing videos and I am disappointed with the performance in premiere pro, I have tried everything to solve it, but I still experience lagging only in the first seconds of playback.
