Spinning wheel Mac Studio while cutting footage

I recreated all the steps. The sequence is getting slower after transcribtion of 1 clip. Before the transcript I could cut the footage (with attached proxies) like butter. With 1 clip transcribed the cutting goes slower but the software doesn't freeze. With more clips transcribed the spinning wheel starts showing up every few steps.

Recreate the steps:

1) Ingest footage (at least 1 or 2 clips with a longer length, like an interview)
2) Create proxies (if needed)
3) Ingest footage in sequence (cutting goes smooth)
4) Transcribe clips in sequence (spinning wheel shows every 2/3 steps/clicks)

Encountering the problem in a new project. This project has 1 camera only. I can do 2 steps (clicks) and every 3th click the spinningwheel shows up.

Unfortunately I am still encountering the problem. This time with a new project. To which address can I send the project?

Mac Studio 2023

Apple M2 Max

32 GB

Footage is A7siii 4k 10bit

Proxies are | frame size: full | preset: ProRes QuickTime Proxy | Next to Original Media, in Proxy folder. On a Synology NAS with 10gb ethernet connection.

I just came up with a solution. I made a new sequence within the project. Imported all the raw footage and synchronized them again. Now I can cut and move the footage without the loading icon showing. Seems to be a problem of the specific sequence.

Just tried this. Unfortunately this does not solve the problem. If I import the project, in a new or a working file, the spot sequence is still showing me the loading icon every 2 steps. The weird thing is, the other sequences are working fine.

Hello woutkoot,

Have you tried starting a new project and importing all elements (clips, sequences, bins, everything) from the problem project? Or even trying to import it all into (a duplicate of) one of your working projects?

R.

Thanks for the input. Unfortunaltely I already did all of those things before I made this post. Even uninstalled Premiere and reinstalled without preferences. Still the same thing is happening whitin 2 of the 4 projects.

I just finished the spot for one of the projects thats lagging all the time. When I copy all the usable quotes, and put them in a new sequence, the lagging stops. It's only when I go back to the spot sequence the loading icon keeps showing. The weird thing is that I can do the first step (like a cut) seamless, and then the loading icon shows every second step (cut in this example).

Very strange.

It sounds like a frustrating issue. Since two of your projects are working fine while the other two are not, the problem might be project-specific rather than a hardware issue. Here are a few things you can try:

1. Check Project Settings: Make sure that the settings for the problematic projects are the same as those for the working ones. Sometimes, mismatched settings can cause performance issues.

2. Inspect the Clips: Ensure that all the clips in the problematic projects are properly linked to their proxies. A missing or corrupted proxy can cause loading issues.

3. Clear Cache: Clear the cache for the problematic projects. This can sometimes resolve performance issues.

4. Software Update: Ensure that your software is up to date. Sometimes, updates can fix bugs that cause performance issues.

5. Resource Allocation: Since you're using a 2023 Mac Studio with 32GB of RAM, make sure that other applications aren't consuming too many resources. Close any unnecessary programs to free up memory and processing power.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, consider reaching out to the software's support team for more specific troubleshooting advice
