Question

The Premiere UI (Mac) lagging

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?

    Hey Rob,

    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?

    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. 


    Exact Premiere Pro version is 23.2.0 (Build 69)

    Hey thirdcontact,

    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? 

     

    Thanks,

    Ishan

    version 23.1

     

    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?
