Choppy Premiere

[Brian5DFB]

Hey All. This Morning I woke up to edit in Premiere and when I Open and proceed to play the footage it is hella choppy. My computer is more than capable of playing back footage at full quality but even at the lower qualities 1/8 it still is choppy. Running windows 10 64 bit. Ive Tried uninstalling and reinstalling no luck and Ive also tried powering down and restarting. Anyone have a fix? I opened up after effects and its working perfectly fine so im assuming its the softway of premiere but not sure how to fix it.

Computer Specs:

Nvidia RTX 3080

I am having the exact same issue. It is dropping frames out of the video and making it impossible to use the program.

Yea the crazy thing is I was just using premiere yesterday So I don't know what couldve caused this.

So I think I figured it out. Its my Audio preference that is slowing it down. Yesterday I installed my audio directly into the monitor board from my case so i could use the audio jack from my casing instead of the back of my mother board. When I toggled back and forth my premiere would work fine when my headphones wernt plugged into my casing. Its weird but I guess I fixed it haha Im assuming the particular port doesnt have enough power to communicate with the program almost like bluetooth.

Good going! 🙂

That fix is posted around here on various threads and comes in handy when really strange behavior like that, and an unobvious solution.

It sounds weird that it worked but I have mentioned that installing ASIO4ALL drivers can sometimes help for choppy playback. Perhaps other people can benifit from your findings.
