Spinning Pin Wheel Every Few Clicks

I have a project that is using .braw footage and .h264 footage

Every time I move in the timeline, view a clip in the source monitor or try playing footage Premiere freezes. It always picks back up and "works" but there is basically a 2-3 second freeze every single time I move around. It's impossible to edit. Scrubbing the timeline is impossible, I can move but footage is not shown and then it freezes. After a few seconds it displays where I dragged to.

I have a few 6k clips but most everything else is 4k. I also have .h264 proxies connected to all the footage. All the files are on the local SSD M.2 drive.

Other projects have no problem.

What would be the best steps find the why premiere is choking out on this project?

My system is:

Premiere Pro 2024 v24.3.0

12th Gen Intel i9-12900k

MPGZ690 FORCE

32 GB DDR5

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 12GB

Crucial P1 M2 2 TB 2000 MB/s

Performance or Stability

Thanks Kevin.

No, I was never able to solve this problem. Proxies were created and
turned on.

I ended up rendering the BRAW files to hi res H264 files. Then I removed
the BRAW files and edited from the rendered h264 files.

I also tried using AutoKroma but it made no difference.

I tested this with some BRAW and noted the exact same behavior - even after the proxies were attached and enabled, Premiere was still slow to respond to playback and moving the CTI in both Source and Program.

I had a similar issue with h.265 drone footage a while back, and my workaround for that was to create proxy files and then sync the original and proxy in a multicam sequence.

Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Create Proxies: Generate proxy files for your BRAW footage.
2. Import Proxies: Import the proxies as their own clips.
3. Multicam Sequence: Sync the original BRAW files and the proxies in a multicam sequence.
4. Edit with Proxies: Use the proxies track in the multicam for a smoother editing experience.
5. Switch to Original Media: When you're ready to export, switch back to the original BRAW media for the final delivery.

This method should speed things up and reduce the spinning pin wheel issue.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi @josephm33826514,

Thanks for the message and the information you provided. In addition to the troubleshooting advice given by @RobShultz, could you also try copying and pasting the contents of your sequence into a new sequence? What happens? If that won't work, try creating a new project and importing the old project into the new one. Does that help? Lastly, I would try creating proxies or transcoding the footage to ProRes or ProRes LT. Please let us know if any of these things work.

Thanks,
Kevin

Maybe clearing the disk cache will help. Edit/Preferences/Memory and Disk Cache and then use the tools to clean the cache. Best of luck.
