Premiere timeline are laggy even after I use proxy files
I started a new project in Premiere and the video was really laggy even after I changed the playback resolution to 1/8 and disable high quality playback. So I tried making a proxy file but the video is still lagging even after I enable it.
The first video was a 2h long gameplay video, recorded with Nvidia Shadowplay at 130k bitrate.
The video turend out at a variable refresrate so I had to convert it to a mkv in handbrake. Video still at 130K bitrate. For some reason Premiere would not open the file, so I had to convert it again with OBS Remux to a mp4.
Now Premiere would open the file but it was very laggy so I made a proxy file of it, and even on the playback lowest setting it was still lagging.
I tried to insert just the proxy file directly into Premiere and then it worked perfectly.
I did the exact same thing with 2 files, only difference one being 2 minutes and one 2 hours and the same result.
The first file specs are 100Gb sizes, 4K, 130,000kbit/s. 2 hour long and mp4.
The proxy file specs are 65 Gb in sizes, 1080p, 82,000kbit/s, 2 hour long and Mov-file.
(The proxy file worked perfectly on its own in Premiere, and the same configuration has worked before in another project)
My computer specs are…
RTX 2080 Ti
Intel i7-9700F 3.00GHz
32,0 GB RAM
Nvme ssd
I have tried 2 versions of premiere, version 22,5 and Beta 23,0. Same result in both.
I have restarted my computer, deleted media catch, remade the proxy files 2 times and nothing works.
I have no effects or anything else in my timeline, just the video files. So I really don’t know what else to do, and I don’t know how much of this information is useful but I figure the more the better.
