Why is Premiere Pro so crap!?

Apologies as this is more a rant than a request for help...I am fulltime filmmaker but only part time editor.  I got myself a new state of the art, high powered PC 4 months ago with the latest Premiere CC on Window s 10 and it is utter crap!  It is so laggy that even watching proxied footage on 1/8 resolution stick and stutters.  I keep having to go through the same process- i tell tech support, they take over my computer, they spend 20 mins checking/deleting/setting things and the computer will be running fine (not well enough for me to view 4k footage in my timeline, but well enough that at least the proxies work) but within a few weeks it gets worse and worse to the point where i have to go through the procedure again.  I am really at my wits end.  I have been paying the monthly subscription to adobe for 4 years now and this is actually the worst their system has ever been.  Ive never been closer to switching to final cut...

Sorry for the rant, thanks for listening 🙂

      Heather never returned. Too bad. We wanted to help. She just wanted to complain. I guess.

        Kaku,

        You didn't mention your high speed media drive. You need one or your performance will truly suck. What are you running? 

        Long GOP media? Transcode.

        Premiere Pro is an abslutely loathsome piece of software. I've just paid for my year of Adobe CC, but it's going to be my last. I'm so sick of finding workarounds for things that can and should be easy - and certainly are in other software. When this year is up I'm fully switching to Resolve. I might keep AE, but I'm fed up with Adobe's laziness in fixing things they should have fixed 5 years ago. I've never known a company to care so little about their users. They have to change or professionals will stop using their stuff. The production company I work at hates Premiere and is looking at moving from it.

          Yeah just move every rant or complaining post to the video lounge, its the "easy way" when getting criticism, it seems. You know there are also something called "ignoring", why not just ignore rants/complaints instead of moving them all into one place 😕😕

            If you want help post comp specs, OS and Pr build and exact media used.

            Otherwise I will move the thread to the Video Lounge (perfect place for rants ;-).

              I would agree with @Ann Bens, we can provide further support if we have the computer's specs, "...OS and Pr build and exact media used."
