Premiere Pro CC 2020 crashes on Fast Forward

[DTC3]

Since updating to CC 2020, when I hit the "L" key to fast-forward while playing on the timeline, video starts lagging but audio keeps playing and Premiere hangs, and I get a ton of low-level exception occurred errors related to Adobe Player (Player:11).  I have to Force Quit after that as the application is not responding anymore once that happens.

I was running Mac OSX Mojave with these errors, so I upgraded to Catalina to see if that would help but it doesn't.  

This is with both AVCHD and Quicktime MOV's.  The only way to resolve this so far is to use the Mercury Playback Engine Software Only renderer mode instead of Metal or OpenCL.

Anyone else having this bug?

My solution:

Change your sequence settings to match the footage's framerate exactly.

My footage was 50,96 and the sequence was 60. When I pressed L to fast forward there were hundreds of dropped frame errors.

To fix, I closed all my open timelines and created a new one by dragging the footage into the empty timeline panel. This made a new sequence that perfectly matched the footage framerate and my fast forward playback was more stable with no errors.

Out of curiousity, how is this still a prevelant issue nearly 2 and a half years later after this original post?

I know it's offtopic, but i'm following certain threads with several (in my opinion) basic issues.

Most of them aren't solved yet.

The UI changes here, bugs appear there....

Travelled with adobe many years but I switched to an other NLE software and I am happy to don't have minor issues like this anymore...
