Hello dear Adobe Support Community,

This isn't the first time I occure such a problem, I don't know how to fix it and this is pretty annoying:

Premiere Pro timeline is currently lagging through a specific sequence that I need to export soon for a client.

I don't know what happened really, I was just doing basic editing, speed ramping, nesting sequences. Working with a7III footages and Mavic 2 Pro h265 (with proxies generated) but suddenly after a few moves, I occure a lag that doesn't want to get off!

I've tried multiple things:

- Creating a new sequence / project and copy / paste the elementss from my initial sequence but looks like the lag is being paste with the elements.

- Change the workspace

- Restarting computer / Adobe, several times.

- Empty the media cache (by the way, I can only delete meda cache that are unused, the other option is transparent.

I am know hesitating to uninstall / reinstall Premiere Pro as I don't know what else to do to fix this bug. I'm afraid it's attached to my project.

I would love to look at automatic saves from my project to go back in time but I don't know why I can't see the automate save project next to the current one in a seperate folder as usually. I'm afraid there isn't but I looked into the seetings and the option was on, so I don't know why I can't find them.

Last point is to describe the bug:

When I press play on the sequence, everything looks normal and editable but at one point, I cannot move the cursor, it's stays where I pushed pause and then I can't move it anymore. Some function don't work for a moment such as muting/unmuting audio tracks and stuffs, selecting elements, etc. And after clicking everywhere, going into the settings for example, when I come back on the timeline, everything works again. There is something not working out somewhere and I don't know how to fix it.

It's really frutstating as I don't have a lot of time left to finish this project 😞

(My configuration:

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor
64 Go RAM

Nvidia RTX 2070 SUPER)

Best regards,

I've been experiencing lag when navigating my timeline. I found a fix is turning off 'Show Proxy Badges' in your timeline settings (wrench in top left corner of timeline).

sadly didn't work for me. this just started happening last night in one specific project i was working on, and now its spreading to all of my others. i'm not sure what's happening but it's such a pain to deal with. i've tried every possible solution listed in this thread and nothing has solved this issue

Tried all sorts of solutions to finally find the problem. I was importing a 4k 50fps video material into an HD 25fps Sequence. I was downscaling the 4k to 1920x1080, but not the 50fps to 25fps. Seems so obvious right now, but totally missed this. So, in case you did not make this obvious mistake, give it a try. Verify that the sequence/the project you start has the same resolution/fps as the material that you shoot.

I have been having this same exact issue for the past 3 days. There does not seem to be one specific thing that is causing it either. I have had it happen when adding a simple whoosh sound to my timeline, I've had it happen when adding an adjustment later, and I've had it happen when adding a simple push transition. This has never been a problem for me until 3 days ago. I've tried multiple different projects, editing all different kinds of footage. I've allowed more ram usage, cleared cache files completely, etc. Nothing has fixed the problem.
