Hello Kevin,
Thank you for the response.
The update to 22.4 did not resolve the issue and I have since experienced this problem on another computer with a different configuration.
MacBook Pro | OS 12.4 | 2.4 8-core i9 | 64 GB ram | AMD Radeon Pro5500M 8GB
I have tried a new Mac Studio and the problem does not occur with Apple Silicon - Just Intel-based Macs.
I’m not sure what sets off the sluggishness. I have tried to determine the cause but it appears to come out of nowhere.
The app also does not like when you have "hide the menu bar” in system preferences - if your cursor gets into the territory where the menu bar appears, it rapidly switches between the standard cursor shape and a resize shape for a second or two, after which you can see a noticeable reduction in UI responsiveness.
That, to me, was the indicator that things weren’t working properly.
I de-selected menu bar hiding in system preferences and quit and restarted the app.
The problem appeared again in any case.
Playback performance does not seem to be affected, nor are keyboard shortcuts (command+s, command+m, etc.) - the sluggishness is relegated to the UI.
Slowdowns occur when trying to drag a clip to a sequence or within a sequence, when trying to switch workspaces, when trying to drag and apply an effect, when trying to adjust effect parameters, when trying to rename sequences.
The delays are such that if you don’t drag a clip and hold steady until you see the clip arrive to your cursor location, the clip will likely land where you don’t want it to creating the need to perform undo and try again.
This makes it difficult to use Premiere efficiently.
The only resolution is temporary - to quit the app and restart - The recurrence of the problem is only a matter of time.
It would be most welcome and beneficial for this issue to be resolved.
Thank you,
Jay
