Why can't my brand new computer handle subtitling?

Hey y'all, 

 

I just got a new MacBook pro with the M2 chip. It was handling everything in premiere pretty much perfectly until recently when it slowed wayyyy down when I'm working on subtitles. This is a massive project with a lot of 4K footage, but I'm running proxies and playing back at 1/8 quality. Can someone troubleshoot this with me? 

 

Thanks!

Fin

I have found ProRes source in a Sequence with Video Previews set to matchung ProRes to work very well with Caption Tracks enabled.

Hello Fin dePencier,

 

What version of the software are you working with?

 

Try disabling "show duplicate frames" in the timeline in question and see if that improves anything.

i'm working with 23.2.0 , 

 

When i deleted one of the subtitle tracks it appears to be working a little faster (I have 4, working with different languages), where do i find the duplicate frames option?

I don't think this workaround applies in 23.2.0, but the "show duplicate frame markers" option is under the wrench symbol in the timeline panel. Try working with it unchecked.
