Hello, would be great to know the following:

1. Project Details:
• What type of projects are you working on (e.g., video resolution, codec, project length)?
• Are you editing multiple video tracks or working with high-resolution footage?

1. System Specifications:

• Could you provide the specific specifications of your MacBook Pro M3 Max? This includes details like RAM, and GPU.
• Are there any other applications running in the background that could be affecting performance?

1. Premiere Pro Version:

• Which version of Adobe Premiere Pro are you currently using?
• Have you recently updated Premiere Pro, or did this issue start occurring after a particular update?

1. Observations:

• When did you first notice the slowdowns in Premiere Pro?
• Are there specific actions or tasks within Premiere Pro that seem to cause more slowness?

Any additional information you can provide will help me better understand the situation and assist you in resolving the performance issues with Premiere Pro. Looking forward to your response so we can get your editing experience back on track!

Hello.

Thank you. Here some infos:

The project: Video 4K. Lenght 4 minutes.

High resolution footage on multiple tracks.

MacBook pro M3 Max, 48 Go mémory, Sonoma 14.5

No other app running.

Premiere Pro 24.5.0 (Build 57)

The issue started as soon as I got the new MacBook (early july)

Whenever I do an action on Premiere it takes time.

Thank you for your help.

Best.

But you told us nothing about the media other than framesize.

What is the format/codec, and framerate? Created by what?

[FrançoisGoizé]

Where do I get these infos ?

[R Neil Haugen]

A basic  requirement for editing video is knowing the media you are working with.

What camera or capture devices was used? Is it actual camera footage or screen capture from maybe OBS? What is the format .... mp4, QuickTime (ProRes), DNx, XAVC, what? 

That information should be in the Media Properties panel in Premiere. Also, the free utility app MediaInfo can give the full file header data.

Hi,
The screen shot shows the media infos.
Thank you.

Hi @FrançoisGoizé,

Thanks for writing in with your issue. I suspect that the new Mac might have iCloud preferences enabled for some apps, which can slow things down. Open Photos and choose Settings > iCloud and switch those off. Quit Photos. Restart Premiere Pro and open your project. Has performance improved? Let the community know.

Thanks,
Kevin
