Unusable Since Latest Update

Since the latest update, Premiere Pro is virtually unusable. The playback and performance are so laggy, it's impossible to get the timing on edits right. I'm on 2021 M1 Macbook Pro with 16gig of RAM with the playback quality at 1/8, and it's still an absolute disaster.

 

Any clues as to when a performance patch or update might be coming? Seriously thinking of uninstalling it and finding something new.

Transcode MP4 to ProRes and set Sequence Preview Settings to match.  You should see a strong perfomace boost across the board with your editing on any Mac, new, old, Intel, or M1.  If you're really tight on drive space (which is common when using MP4), use ProRes 422 Proxy.

    Having the same issue. Having to wait 5min to be able to be able to use premiere (10%CPU) at all, then stalling with any audio usage.

    And if you go back a version, to 22.4, can you work away?

     

    Have you posted the details of your troubles with 22.5 to where the engineers would see them, on their  Premiere Pro UserVoice system? If not, please do so. This forum is mostly user-to-user help.

    Hi there,

     

    We're sorry to hear about this. Let us know the type of media files you are working with (format/codec, frame rate & frame size) & the effects applied. Also, is this happening with any specific project or all of them?

     

    Thanks,

    Sumeet

    Hi Sumeet -- they're 1080 mp4's shot directly from a Lumix G7 at standard frame rate and no effects. It's been a constant with all projects, but manageable -- never as bad as it has been since the latest update.

    Have you tried working in Rosetta mode?

     

    Past that, you might be better served at the moment by going back a build or version. Some M1 Macs are screaming along, some ... not so much. And some getting bad lagginess.

     

    I expect that will get sorted at some point but at the moment, Rosetta or reverting a version seem to be the main options for M1s with lag. Thankfully we can have multiple versions loaded at the same time. And keep testing the newer builds.
