When I press the spacebar on the timeline, nothing happens for some time. The video starts playing back after 5-6 seconds with a delay. This problem occurs every minute. Premiere updated and cleared the cache. The problem is at the software level, because the computer is very powerful

Correct answer Peru Bob

Try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

Hi Paul,

 

I understand how frustrating this issue can be - the same thing would sometimes happen on my Mac after I installed a new update of Premiere Pro. To better diagnose the problem, could you please provide the following details?

 

  1. Are you using a Mac or a PC?
  2. What version of Premiere Pro are you using?
  3. What are your sequence settings (sample rate, resolution, frame rate)?
  4. What kind of media are you working with (codec, resolution, frame rate, audio sample rate)?
  5. Do you experience the same delay when playing media in the Source panel?
  6. Do you get the same delay when you drag the media onto a new sequence with matched settings?

 

This information will help us pinpoint the issue more effectively.

 

Cheers,
Paul

Have you tried resetting the Premiere preferences?

are you serious? does one really have to restart the preferences they painstakingly set to find that this advice doesn't help? do something wrong and then give us complete nonsense advice? what do they pay you for there? work to make things work and not disrupt people's workflows!

If you venting your frustration at me, (since you replied directly to my message) I don't work for Adobe and Adobe do not pay me anything for my  time spent here trying to help people. I do it sacrificing my personal time trying to help, so think first before you start assaulting me with your comments...
