PREMIERE PRO RUNNING SLOW. NOT THE VIDEO ITSELF.

I am having a issue with the response of Adobe Premiere Pro ITSELF and not video playback. When I hit the spacebar, it takes about two to three seconds for it to stop/play. cutting is the same. Often I will switch from the cut and selection tool and It cant even keep up. I have absolutely never had this problem ever and this morning it just started happening out of nowhere. Please help. Also I am using a 2021 Imac with 32 GB RAM editing 1920x1080 footage. Simple and easy project. Like I said I have edited over 600 videos without any issues until now and that was on a 2017 Imac with only 16 GB Ram and not the greatest specs.

    I'm suffering from the same symptoms too on a 2020 i5 27" iMac. Editing in ProRes LT. Heavy and slow editing performance, a delay of at least 2 seconds on any action. It's executiating!! Adobe PLEASE help, the Intel machines need good performance too!!

    Hi, I started having the same issue. I was stuck. However, I noticed that the top menus were working perfectly fine, so I decided to switch the workspace from vertical to essential, and that fixed it up. Try switching workspace and see if it works.

      Having the same issue, timeline in focus and pressing the space at during playback does not stop the play head at the right spot. I'm also having an issue where I can do 4 or 5 shortcuts in a row and the timeline keeps playing, then a few seconds later the app executes the commands. 

      Moving back to PrPro from resolve has been an exercise in patience. Rebooting the app seems to solve temporarily. 

      I'm working with proxy media with one single track and the only effects are primate 6.

      I have exactly this same problem.
      It is very difficult to work with the program and I'm slowly but surely giving up. I click on something on Timeline and I have to wait a second to catch. I will move the shot and I have to wait until it arrives. I thought my computer went wrong and I would have to buy a new one but I see that I am not alone.

      It does not matter where I have a project on which SSD. Premiere is still slow.

       

      Everything worked nicely until one day slowly slowed down. In addition, I have a problem with the render, I have to give software encoding because if I give hardware so H264 can not play and has 24bit. I am simply completely destroyed from this program. I also use Davinci for Coloring but I am already learning to editing as well because ...
