Hello all! And thanks for taking the time to read. I have a really weird issue going on with Premiere which is completely new to me. I've just finished several short edits with 2 cameras. The 4k camera plays fine all the way through, the 6k clip (H.265) is a struggle for the laptop, but it gets through and the edit is complete. I close down the computer and come back to it, and although there are 17 of these mini edits, 3 of them won't play the any of the 6k camera and instead, just display the opening frame (instead of the sequence) all the way through, but sound is good.
Fixes I have tried:
Re-encoding the footage with media encoder. It falls down half way through the encode and won't finish the clip. So I end up with half a programme.
Editing the footage on an older MAC. This sorts the problem in that the edit plays all the way through, but the render time for each 3 minute sequence is running out at 24 hours per programme.
Any thoughts? The newer editing laptop is a PC with 32 meg of memory. When I play the clips outside of Premiere, they all play no probs.
Thanks in advance.

To anyone who is interested: Oddly the problems continued and more H.265 just ended up as static frames for the entire clip. In the end, I copied all the H.265 onto the main drive of the PC which made rendering the programme quicker and more stable. For clips that were 'frozen' I either transcoded them on the PC or the MAC and when everything was playing out ok, I transcoded the whole programme into the highest quality quicktime file as that was the least likely to fall over. From QT 4444xf (I think that is right?), it was a quick recode to H.264 for YT and a deep sigh of relief for each project completed.
Lesson learnt - until playing with the MAC m1 chip, just leave H.265 well alone.
