Premier Rush is super slow or freezes constantly.

This program freezes my entire computer, to the point where I need to restart the entire computer. 

I am experiencing the same issue. Extremely slow!. I hit the play button and nothing happens. I try to delete something and nothing happens. It is so frustrating. It freezes all of the time and I can't get nothing done. I keep restarting my computer to clear out and ram/cache. This program is not worth trying. 

I dont think the OP is doing anything wrong. I have tried using Rush twice. Once last year, and once yesterday. A year ago I tried it on my performance laptop. Rush crashed whenever trying to add a single asset to the project. I gave up. Yesterday I thought I would give it another go given that their have probably been updates since then, and this time I was using a solid Windows machine ( i7 11th gen , 32GB ram... Nvidia 3070(but that doesn't really matter for video editing just rendering)). I installed Rush, and it crashed when creating a project this time. I stubborningly continued, tried adding a few phots... crash. try again, crash... eventually it worked. I edited the few photos, and then it crashed, and the project would no longer open. So in summary Rush is still not usable for Windows AFAIK, lol. Compared to other video editors it is incredibly slow even when it does work, and takes up large amounts of disk space for the preview rendered clips.

So i understand that this thread is old, and not to be a debby downer, but I just downloaded this app and it's hella slow for me. I've seen some responses regarding PC hardware, and I would like to mention that my hardware specs should be more than enough to handle this program. For reference they are: 

CPU: Intell i9 9900K 

GPU: AMD Radeon 5600 XT

RAM: 32 GB

Storage: 3TB (2, 1 TB Samsung 860 evo SSDs, and 1, 1 TB Wester Digital HDD). The app is installed on one of my SSDs for fast access. 

I don't know what much you want from me, but I really don't think my hardware is the problem.

Sequence tab>Prepare for playback. Let it load. Edit. Repeat. 

Please where did you download your Adobe premiere rush

Premier Rush has major problems with w10 . I have tried it on 2 high poered systems and it still gives the same problems as mentioned above

It's super slow to load

- It freezes often

- Makes my entire computer slow

Adobe is in denial here. Just look at the answer above meant to parry the real issue . I mean the purple thing is a small part of the complaint. The big part is this app slows down and freezes on both my pcs. My son has now reluctantly started to use Microsoft Video Editor 2020 the free app in w10 (inside photos app) Its not got asmcu but there is no freezing crashing and he has been put off adobe completly

I'm also having these issues.

The slowness is in particular experienced when play/pausing and any cuts to clips. All in all, very frustrating and doesn't seem like my set up should be having such issues.

There is a **five-second** delay after cutting a clip and any response from the application, such as clicking on the clip or hitting play.

When I first started using Rush I had slowness issues which were resolved by "Prepare for playback" + "Use Optimized Clips" + Low preview quality. Today is the first day I have used since the updates (so glad to see 'duplicate project' now).  None of my prior tricks worked. I have fully uninstalled and reinstalled, removed virus software, reinstalled, updated graphics drivers. I'm running this on a 9th Gen Core i7 with 64 gig RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 2060. System and install and cache are all running on an SSD. 

Hey  Maratee,

I have a powerful computer as well i7/ 16gb ram/ 1060 gpu 6g vram/ m.2 ssd and hdd dell G7 2018. 

With that said I also noticed the same slow/laggy/ effects that you are experiencing. What I did to fix a little of that is I turned off sync to cloud option which helped a lot, instead, I saved on to the local machine, and when finished editing project I would turn on sync and let it upload to cloud for a secondary save.  Also, I noticed that it is vital from where you are working. If you are working off an external Hard Drive (HDD) you will experience a bit of lag this is the same with internal HDD. Solid State Drive (SSD) changes the game cause lag is almost not seen when working with external SSD or internal. Internal SSD is SO much faster especially M.2 SSD. Remember read/write speeds are vital to Video Editing in general. Also if editing 4k then 32gb is recommended.
