Premiere Pro Lag/delay

[René5EDD]

Hi everybody,

Recently, I bought a new macbook pro (m1-chip) (8GB) (256GB SSD), and for some reason I suddenly got lag/delay issues when editing.

Situation

The problem doesn't arise when using the .mov Quicktime screenrecording files, but when I convert it to a .mp4 file and then import it into the project. However, I need to convert the .mov file or else it will look pixely or lag (did not happen on my macbook air (2014) though). 

Problem

When I press start/stop there is a couple seconds lag or delay (see halfway screen recording). 

Tried

-Handbrake (constant frame rate)

-GPU

-Memory 

-Reduce quality

-Many other things...

Can someone help me out? Thanks in advance!

Hi Jeff, no worries 🙂 My settings look the same. I only have to disable "Enable hardwater accelerated decoding" tostop the delay.
