Question

Premiere timeline and app LAG

Hi, recently I am experiencing lag problems in using Premiere Pro, especially since I formatted my pc and installed windows 11, even though I have a very high performance pc the timeline of my work lags a lot, even though the files I use are not particularly heavy (1080p) and the effects nothing exaggerated (mainly fake handled movement camera) I have already allocated more ram from settings, lowered the rendering quality to 1/4 and removed high quality playback.
Since this problem in the old installation with Windows 10 and adobe premiere pro 19 was not there I was wondering if maybe there is some setting I don't know about and need to enable or some specific driver that maybe I forgot to download.

My pc configuration:
RYZEN 9 5900X
32GB RAM
RTX 3070
With a configuration like that I should definitely not have lag like that!

Another strange thing I noticed (again after formatting and with Adobe Premiere 2022) is that after I put the file in the timeline the video I have on premiere is clearer, brighter and with more faded colors than the original file, also this has never happened to me before, is there any setting to change to fix?

You also changed OS and that may be part of the issue.

 

As to the image, is it perchance HLG or PQ for color space?

Oh, so you think it could also be a problem of low compatibility with Windows 11?

 

For the image, sorry but I am quite a newbie, I don't know the difference between HLG or PQ, where can I check it?

You have 12 cores but only 32GB of RAM ... and that 3070 has only 8GB of vRAM ... so it's an ok machine but nothing 'screaming'. I'm running a 24 core 3960x with 128GB of RAM and a 2080Ti with 11GB of vRAM. Your 3070 has more cores but less vRAM.

 

So you have a decent machine, and depending on the media and effects applied you could easily get lag with that rig. I can get it with a far beefier machine.

 

Especially if the media is any long-GOP stuff, the nastiest editing codec made of course. Or you use any Warp or video noise reduction, time/speed shifting or changes, or much color work.

 

I deal with a lot of colorists daily. People with hardware that blows mine outta the water as a toy. Who frequently make proxies if they have to deal with any long-GOP H.264/5 media. But can play multiple streams of 8k Red all day without troubles.

 

So it depends on your media, effects, and hardware. If it lags, proxy or transcode. Render & Replace is another good option.

Yes of course, my pc is not a beast, but the strange thing is that before formatting I didn't have all these lag problems, that's why I think there is something wrong.
And I really don't use color corraction or a  lot of effects, my file are preatty "easy"

I highly recommend creating proxies for all of your clips to feel the ultimate preview perfomance

Yes I've read about creating proxies, but don't you think it's strange that on this configuration it lags so much and moreover this lag problem was not there before formatting?
