I have been having ongoing issues with Premiere Pro. The latest 25.1 is installed.
I am editing using for example a nested sequence because I am replacing the orginal spoken voice over narration in a file so I use a nested sequence.
What I usually do is transcribe the original spoken voice over track, then render as captions and use that a key so I know where to insert the replaced spoken audio. Such a sequence will include the video track, audio track and captions. I have not found a way to use either groups or linking to link all three elements som that when I add cut and drag then all 3 will move together. It's always so that the video and audio will drag but the captions do not stay with them.
So I create a nested track so I can see only the video track nested into the main sequence and I can apply cuts there.
So what's been happening is that I am going through the squence to edit it and after a while playback will stop - the program monitor is blank and clicking play does nothing.
I then try to do the following as examples,
1. Set audio input device to None.
2. Reset app and cache preferences.
3. Under Sequence menu use render audio, render in to out and render effects in to out and delete render files.
And after a while the video will appear back in the program monitor and playback will continue. And the yellow cache rendered indicator will eventually appear. But the moment I try and add any kind of edit a gap in the yellow cache indicator appears and playback stops completely again.
I was beginnig to think that since I am using a nested sequence that contains several individual clips that it might be an issue. But I am at the point where nothing at all is playable now. So a regular sequence where nested clips are not used.
Hi RH22_user,
We're sorry about your poor experience. Could you please confirm the NVIDIA GPU that you are using & whether you have installed the latest Studio drivers? Let us know if Peru Bob's suggestion helped restore the preview.
Thanks,
Sumeet

My apologies for some typos above, I don't seem able to edit the original post?

EDIT: sorry the gaps in the yellow render timeline above are when there is only audio and no video, so my mistake. Editing is still not possible once I make a change to the timeline, which is the point.

I came across a reference to changing the render for the sequence via the sequence settings in a YouTube video so trying this out to see if it helps - at least I was able to complete the current project.

Delete the Media Cache and Media Cache files:

Then try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

I have already tried ealier clearing media cache and importing old project into a new one, that did not appear to fix things.
GPU details in image below - NVIDIA's driver scheme appears to have changes so "Studio" does not appear to be an option anymore so I don't know what if any other option I should choose.

Something odd, NVIDIA's app also shows 550 driver the same as their website but in the app the release date is a year older. And since the website lists "Production Branch/Studio" and then under "Info" it is "Production Branch / WHQL" I assume WHQL is Studio? And when I click View to download it I am only offered the WHQL version anyway. Very odd and confusing system.

And now this makes no sense at all. If I download the latest drivers for RTX A2000 GPU that version is WHQL 553.62. The NVIDIA app states it has 556.35 installed and replacing by manually installing WHQL 553.62 would be replacing "Current Version" of 560.76 so the NIVIDA app displays 2 separate versions and both of which are newer than the online driver which is dated January 2025, totally confused here....

Quick update - NVIDIA's app appears to have updated itself and now offers the same driver version as their website so I will install that. Perhaps odd that their new feature branch is a lower version number, I don't know... anyway what is offered by main branch seems to be WQHL driver which I guess is the "Studio" version so I will try that and report here if the timline issues continue.
