Question

Premiere Pro Multicamera lags on my very powerful PC when moving the blue bar

Multicamera is working bad on my PC and i don't understand why, considering the specs.

It works smooth when i hit play (it starts after 3-4 seconds), but when i drag the blue bar into the timeline, the real lag comes out. Every time i move that bar around the timeline, it lags.

Here is an example of such lag:

lag%20premiere%20gif.gif

Is such lag normal, considering that i'm using proxies?

The video files are on a NAS QNAP connected with 10Gb ethernet, and the proxy files are on a RAID 0 SSD installed on the machine. Of course, when i experience such lag, the proxies are active and online.

Here are my specs:

  • Adobe CC 2015.3 apps
  • Windows 10 Pro 64bit Version 1607, build 14393.447
  • CPU: I7-6900K
  • GPU GTX 1080 Gaming G1
  • 128GB RAM
  • 512GB M.2 SSD for OS.

    What are your other storage devices?

    The other storage devices are 7200RPM Hard Disks which are not used for this project.

    For H.264 proxies, yes.  For Cineform proxies, no.

    I just wanted to update this post to tell that the longer the sequence is, the slower premiere gets.

    It's almost impossible to work like that.

    Since the first post, now i reached 90 minutes of editing and every time i move the cursor i have to wait like 20 seconds for premiere pro to wake up. It's taking me forever to edit this video.

    Great performance!

    can you confirm you have un-ticked "Enable accelerated Intel h.264 decoding" in preferences/media tab and closed extra premiere panels-hidden?

    does it lag with what jim recommends, cineform? those are even more hard drive intensive, so if they work, then its probably your cpu.

    I have un-ticked that and actually the performance boosted. Now it takes half of the time, but it is still not immediate. I have to wait like 5-6 seconds (previously it was more than 10, sometimes 20).

    It's something!

    I will try with next project with cineform proxies and see what happens.

    Thanks


    Since a lot of people have been having problems with smooth playback,

    here's my total "make everything playback smoother" solutions chart.

     

     

    2. add premiere in NVidia Control Panel as an application for discrete gpu

    3. power option-maximum performance

    4. Make Sure The Composite Preview During Trim is Turned Off and also make sure your Reference Monitor is Also Closed it

    Will Help Solve the Choppy Playback

    5. Set Preferences : > Audio hardware > Default Input: to None

    12. disable "High Quality Playback" setting in the monitor wrench menu improves gpu

    13. disable mercury transmit

    15. freezing up on mac permission issue

    http://blogs.adobe.com/kevinmonahan/2014/09/10/premiere-pro-cc-freezing-on-...

    19. Changed Audio Hardware from MME to ASIO.(lower level audio driver for lower latency)

    20. Limited Premiere's RAM allocation to 32Gb if you have 64GB

    21. In task manager, set affinity to utilize only 16 cores for PP (unfortunately, this setting does not hold on re-launch)

    23. in bios, disable Intel Speedstep.

    24. disable C1E - in the bios, power settings,change to performance.

    25. Mod note: These steps were removed as they refer to internal debug tools. These are not user facing, can cause serious issues with the application, nor are they to be used except by Adobe engineering.

    26. set audio to 44.1 in hardware and premiere

        audio pref - disable play audio while scrubbing

        disable maintain pitch

        audio hardware latency 200ms

     

        disable sequence composite linear color

        sequence audio settings 32000hz

        sequence settings preview file 1920x1080 1/2 size video frame size 3840x2160 then 1/2 size playback

    27. in monitor, pull markers together so there's less tick marks per inch, the playback marker will go offscreen while

    playing back.
