Unbearably slow playback & export on a very good laptop. - Why is this such a common problem ?!
Hi there,
I've recentely had to do a fresh reset of my laptop - ROG Zephyrus G15, after which the premiere pro workflow has become unbearable.
Specs:
AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS
NVIDIA RTX 3060 6GB
15GB RAM
SAMSUNG NVMe SSD 980 PRO 1TB (to which the adobe cache goes to)
GENERIC NVMe SSD (to which window is installed to and all the programs including adobe)
I do 1 min timelapse videos of my 3D modelling screen recording (usually condense 4h into 1 min). I don't add effects or anything, just basic scaling & some movement of the mp4 clip. Prior to th is reset, these 1 minute videos would get rendered in 1:15 min - 1:30 min, now the standard is 15+ minutes.
I've followed all the information I could possibly find on how to speed up premiere pro again, and yet absolutely nothing has helped at all. Below are the screenshots of my currents settings.
Premiere Pro Preferences:
(I've also tried to uncheck AMD and just leave it on Nvidia - made no difference) - and Yes, i do clear the the media cache files everytime I edit a new timelapse.
Sequence and Project Settings:
Media Properties:
Exporting:
I used to even jack up the target bit rate to '50' on these settings - for no other reason than 'it already renders so fast, I may aswell add the best possible finish'
Additional System Info:
FINAL NOTE:
Just as a final note PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THAT THESE ARE NORMAL RENDERING TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS OR THAT etc... I've been using this machine for just over a year, and it is simply not true. As i've mentioned before, these renders went from just over a minute and a half to 15+ minutes.
Looking forward to any type of solution 😕😕 I'm so sick of these 5+ second delays on timeline playback & huge rendering times for a 1 min video...
PS: I'm fairly certain that the problem is with Premiere Pro or maybe even Nvidia perhaps, doubt it's the hardware because I use my RTX 3060 to work in Blender without a problem while recording on my AMD GPU with OBS and playing YouTube videos on the side etc... So pretty sure my hardware is fine.
