I am attempting to color grade my film in Premiere. I got through a first pass perfectly with no problems (going through each clip with the lumetri panel, applying luts, making corrections when needed). Then at a certain point, the UI became unusably slow. Trying to change effect parameters causes the program to freeze for up to 5-8 seconds.
My system is a i7-4930K, with 32GB RAM and a GTX1080. My project is 1080p, using dnx footage, with separated cache/asset drives. Video playback is not the issue.
What I did notice is that the problem started occurring right after I created an adjustment layer, with the intent of using it as a global scene grade. I apply lumetry to the adjustment layer, then make changes on the master clip. But something as simple as a curves adjustment causes the interface to go unresponsive until the adjustment has been applied.
What's odd is that the problem persisted even when I deleted the adjustment layer out of the project. Maybe it's a coincidence. Or maybe premiere doesn't handle adjustment layers well,
I know this is not a problem specific to me, because people I know have experienced it before, across different versions of premiere and different computers. Does anyone have a fix? Should I just switch to resolve?
