I'm getting extremely slow imports with WAV files into my project. No matter which way I import a WAV, it takes up to 20 seconds to import one file. Premiere freezes and shows the busy icon the entire time.
My system:
Windows 10
Intel i7-5960X @ 3ghz
32gb RAM
OS drive: Corsair 240gb SSD
Project drive: 7.2gb RAID 0 on 2x4tb WD Black Drives
This can happen when video card drivers are not updated (and sometimes when it is updated to a new--more "buggy" version). Importing WAV files--Premiere has to generate Peak files to display the waveforms in the timeline, source window, etc. This can take a long time with larger projects--but should not be happening on smaller ones. I have a system that has pretty much all the specs yours has and my wav files are coming in very quickly--here are some things to try:
Check your video card driver situation (update if need be)
Clean your cache database under PREFERENCES > MEDIA CACHE. Sometime the peak file cache gets a little weird and/or can corrupt--causing a slow-down with peak file re-generation
There could be other things--but this is a good start. Good Luck!
Cleared my unused media cache, installed the very latest NVidia drivers, restarted Premiere... Exact same problem. Why should I be surprised that a CC release has horrible bugs?
Imported the project into a new one. Imports are still slow, but seem not as slow as the other older project.
Importing one image file (TIF) into a project on my very speedy machine should be near instantaneous (like it was in all previous versions!).
Sigh.
I upgraded to the latest version because I really wanted to use the new Essential Sound interface (showcased by Adobe at NAB2017). Should have realized that it would lobotomize my work-flow in other more significant ways.
I've got the same issue here. Importing any file, audio, stills, or footage, causes the machine to beach ball for a few minutes before everything goes back to normal.
Although I'm having the same problem running footage from my NAS (via 1GB ethernet). I notice that the problem is a lot less acute when I import files stored locally. I mean... a LOT less slow.
It's not a solution but it might be a clue as the underlying issue. I'm running a very fast Windows 10 machine and have everything up-to-date. So please none of the usual "have you turned it off and on again" suggestions from support please!
This issue has suddenly arisen with the latest CC update - it's a bug!!
Same problem here. I'm doing the editing for a TV show and just dragging 10 clips into the bin takes some minutes after the progress bar is done. I know that this was a stupid thing to do, upgradin to a new version but please, we need some updates as soon as possible.
Same issue here! I thought It may be because I'm importing from a network drive (with 10GbE connection), but I tested locally and the same issue persists. What gives?!
Having the same issue and it doesn't matter what file format it is audio, video codec etc. I tested both on local storage and network same result. This wasn't an issue until moving to the latest version. I have several edit systems all with the same issue all running Windows 10.
No one from Adobe? This is as real and as horrible as it seem guys! I was the one fighting to make the switch to the Adobe environment from Avid and now everybody is mocking me for this. Thank you very much for this Adobe...
Well I just found out that Adobe Support simply closed my ticket abruptly after telling me a few weeks back that a representative would follow up on the case with me.
It seems snappier on my machine also. I've seen however a small lag while importing some audio files... so I have to keep checking before a final statement.
It didn't seem to change anything on my end. I'm seeing 20 mins+ lag. Import progress bar fills normal speed but once it's full, I get the spinning rainbow wheel and the app registers as "Not Responding". If I wait patiently, it does finish importing eventually anf the app comes back to life.
