Premiere Pro messes up my video on a simple trim.

[Nick2186810960s0]

So what exactly is Premiere Pro doing to my video (5472x3078, 29.97 fps, h.264, on an Air 2s drone) that messes it up. It plays perfectly fine on Windows standard photo/video viewer. Then i bring it into Premier Pro, drag the clip into the sequence window to create a sequence, where it also plays perfectly fine and smooth within Pro. I simply trim the video and export it, and then it lags or is frozen upon playing in Windows again. The sequence settings had matched the video in Pro and everything. It played great before in windows, great while IN Premiere Pro, then was messed up after export. From what i could see, i changed no resolution, codec, etc., just did a simple trim on a single clip. What gives???

Might want to convert the clip to an edit friendly codec and make sure it had constant framerate and not variable framerate.

Please post comp specs, Premiere version and build, MediaInfo info in Treeview on footage used, sequence settings and export settings.

I have a a smaller DJI drone and have no issues with Premiere Pro.  Would you post a clip I can download and try?  

[Nick2186810960s0]

Premiere Pro version 24.1.0 (Build 85)

The clip exceeds the maximum file size to post.

Thanks for the responses!

Go for a more traditional setting> Such as UDH or 1080p and drop the bitrate.

Your memory should be at least 64 gig to handle such resolution.

What device are you intending on playing the file.

Ok, but my computer plays it flawlessly prior to going through Premiere Pro, thats what i dont understand. Sorry, I'm somewhat a beginner at learning Premiere Pro and have been learning about fps, bitrates, codecs, and differnet video formats, so i probably sound pretty new at it all.  I had tried 1080p, but i hadnt dropped the bitrate. But why do i have to, besides smoothness of actually editing,  if my computer already played it fine in the first place? I'll eventually want to play in on a television I guess. Not so much social media.

Premiere is an edit program, not a player. Your computer might be able to play the file, but that does not mean an edit program can handle the file. There is much more going on under the hood.

If you want to play the file on a TV, you need to drop the bitrate significant and adjust the resolution to a much more standard setting.

Ok I understand that, but im saying it plays perfectly also within Premiere Pro, without proxys or transcoding. But upon EXPORT back to my computer, it is choppy or just frozen when I play it back on my computer. When it played perfectly fine before Premiere Pro.
