19. Changed Audio Hardware from MME to ASIO.(lower level audio driver for lower latency)
20. Limited Premiere's RAM allocation to 32Gb if you have 64GB
21. In task manager, set affinity to utilize only 16 cores for PP (unfortunately, this setting does not hold on re-launch)
23. in bios, disable Intel Speedstep.
24. disable C1E - in the bios, power settings,change to performance.
25. Mod note: These steps were removed as they refer to internal debug tools. These are not user facing, can cause serious issues with the application, nor are they to be used except by Adobe engineering.
26. set audio to 44.1 in hardware and premiere
audio pref - disable play audio while scrubbing
disable maintain pitch
audio hardware latency 200ms
disable sequence composite linear color
sequence audio settings 32000hz
sequence settings preview file 1920x1080 1/2 size video frame size 3840x2160 then 1/2 size playback
27. in monitor, pull markers together so there's less tick marks per inch, the playback marker will go offscreen while
playing back.
