Transitions playback issue on i9 12900K / 32GB DDR 5 / 1TB Nvme / Premiere Pro 2023

[Toka 2.0]

Hi,

Anyone please help me resolve the issue with premiere pro 23.0 and 23.1 beta both having playback issues when playing clips with any transitions (tried premiere pro's default and others).

1TB Samsung NVME 7GB/sec

OS: Windows 11

Nvidia 3060Ti 3Fan

Clips are playing well on Full quality even with lumetri colors applied on. But when comes to basic transitions, getting that choppy and laggy playback. I need to stop playback and re play after few seconds to play rest smoothly.

I tried playing these raw 4 times on single frames and got perfect playback but just getting issue when applying basic transition. 

I noticed when i have a less than a min clip, in start transition works well but then even re playing starts lagging.

I applied these troubleshoot already which didn't worked out:

- Changed scrach disks to /C (NVME)
- Changed Hardware-accelration to Nvidia then Intel then both and did restarted system while made changes
- Copied clip file to /c and then tried with new project

-Turned off global FX

Waiting for the fix guide by some professionals. .

Is that all you have: one harddrive?

I have this 2TB Disk where the actual file was: https://www.transcend-info.com/product/external-hard-drive/2-5-ssd-hdd-enclosure-kit

But i also tried with file on OS 1TB SSD.

Have you tried settings meant for editing?

I didn't get you that perfect but yes i tried to apply them on few of my clips when got this error now trying to resolve this issue first.

As i upgraded my machine just because of these laggy playback issues and now still this thing remains.

You've listed the following as your source clips:

• Straight from Camera - Sony A7 IV
• H264/HEVC 4K 60fps - mainly
• Also tried H264/HEVC 4K 30fps
• Also tried H265/HEVC 4K 60fps
• Also tried H265/HEVC 4K 30fps

While we can open and play those files in most video editing applications, none of those have corresponding settings that are good for editing.

Premiere Pro refers to settings that are good for editing as "Smart Rendering" while Davicni Resolve and Final Cut Pro refer to settings that are good for editng as "Optimized Media".
