I was editing with Premiere on a MacBook Air (M1 but with onlz 8GB ram). I noticed the animations of the UI started lagging. Make an edit, click done and it takes a second or 2 for the edit box to "fade" - it doesn't do it smoothly, like it used to.
Now I've upgraded to a MacBook Pro 2023 M2 Max - it's much better but it still does this. It's not really a massive problem but still - I'm using a pretty fast laptop now and it's still struggling with the UI animations. Anyone else experiencing this?
We're sorry for the poor experience. A similar issue related to lagging animations in macOS Ventura is currently being investigated by the engineering team. Could you confirm which version of Premiere Pro you're currently using?
I've also just had Premiere cause the same MacBook to run out of application memory exporting a very simple edit that doesn't even have any grading done. Just some animated titles and 4K iphone footage.
Thanks for confirming the version. The engineering team is currently working on this issue. I don't have any information on when this will get fixed, but it shouldn't affect the performance of your system. Could you share more details on your Mac running out of application memory? Is it the M2 Max or the Macbook Air? Do you see this in a specific project or all projects?
Could you share more details on the issue? Do dialog boxes take too long to close in Premiere Pro? Do you see the problem only when you close boxes? Let us know.
The engineering team is working on a similar issue related to the delay in closing animations on macOS Ventura. I currently don't have any information on when it will get fixed. Thanks for sharing the information and being so patient with us. I'll let you know if we need more information regarding the issue.
Sorry to hear about this. Is the user interface lagging, or do you experience lag while previewing as well? Do you only see the issue while closing dialog boxes, or does it lag while doing other actions, like scrolling the timeline and opening sequences?
Also worth noting, deleting/clearing Premiere Pro preferences fixed the issue temporarily, but it very quickly went back to being super sluggish and slow.
Could you let us know the exact version of Premiere Pro you're on? Do you still see the issue if you close and reopen the active sequence? A similar problem was fixed in Premiere 23.2. Let us know if this issue looks familiar to what you're experiencing.
I see. Is the issue with the UI identical in both systems? Do you have any third-party plugins installed? What's the activity monitor like when you experience lag with the user interface? If possible, a screen recording could help us understand the issue better.
Hi, thanks for the response. No third-party plugins are installed. It's difficult to compare the two systems because the Windows machine is a 16-core 13th gen Intel chip and dedicated RTX GPU whereas the Macbook is a 2019 8-core 9th gen i9 with mobile AMD graphics. However, performance is still worse than it should be.
Next time I'm working in Premiere and experience the issue, I'll get a screen recording and upload here.
Just thought I'd add, I'm working in Premiere today and it actually seems OK.
