Premiere Pro UI is lagging!

Question

Hey!

So I have a three-monitor setup with most of the panels open on each screen, but I am getting loads of lag from the UI.

The playback is fine, running smoothly and everything, but the UI lags when I move things around; the playback head jumps. When I switch it back to one monitor, it is fine. This only happens when I have extra panels on different monitors.

This always happens, no matter what footage I am editing or how big the project is.

Specs:

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090,

AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16-Core Processor,

64GB (3200) RAM.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Delete the Media Cache and Media Cache files:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.
