How I Fixed Choppy Footage in Premiere Pro Fast!

I cannot thank you enough. Premier is such a pain in a**

It worked! Thank you so much for this!

I'm having that same issue with my NVR living recording I try everything I can think of and still having the same problem.

I give up, i've literally tried everything now.

I exported through media encoder, but still have parts of my video, freezing and glitching.

Thank you! Such a big help. Subscribed!

I was so excited but this didn't work for me... PLEASE HELP!!!! :) X

You the man!

Hey, i cant find queue when i try to export. I only see cancel and export any tips?

my exact issue and couldn't find a solution anywhere. I will try this right away

THIS WORKED THANK YOU!!! <3

Thank you for this video!!

Thank you! I was having big problems with this now much better...excellent!

This is it! You're a blessing to those who were starting to get frustrated from not finding an answer!

*FIX FOR LAG *So whoever is reading this, following was my really stupid/simple issue - I used OBS to record my footage 1920x1080 60fps, imported it to Adobe Premier Pro, while editing it was LAGGY, after EXPORTING it with every possible way it was laggy (with Media Encoder aswell), i tried everything from clearing cache to switching footage from HDD to SSD - nothing worked.


BUT WHAT WORKED was going to sequence settings and switching my FPS from there, because i have used same project settings for everything. Lmao


It's worth a try!

Man If this is true, you just saved my lyf.. ri8 now my pc doesnt have encoder installed... But tomarrow iam gonna come back with result .. hope this works ....and wating

I can't find this option, I have Premiere Pro 2022. Does anyone know how to do it there?

If you export via Media encoder in AE, it takes FOREVER to queue, and sometimes it just does not. I often export as Apple ProRez 4444 mov (reasonably fasy render) and then compress deliverables: mp4, dcp, mxf, wherever is needed.

I swear your teach me so much more than my school professor I can’t thank you enough omg 😢❤

Thanks!!!!

Thank you very much. you saved me ;)🤩

THANK YOU. Went to so many pages and this was a simple and powerful solution for me in a bad moment of panic. Thank you sir. God bless you.

man, Im usually a fan of Media Encoder. This isn't solving my issue though! same situation as you, but nothing has fixed it yet. We might have to start a whole new project then re import. ugh.

Thank you so much but i still have lagging after exporting from encoder.
I have mac. What should i do?🥺

Got the same problem in Camtasia. Im beyond frustrated

what about now, it looks different and dont see that option, pls help

Unfortunately didn't work for me, since I already used the encoder and got laggy footage... In my case, it's shope if i export in h.264, but in AVI it works fine. Weird, since both source videos are fine and in h.264...

This worked for me and I love you. Thanks!

Thank you!!!!!!!

you explained my problem to a Tee but you are using premier pro I'm using Filmora 11. soooo frustrating. if you can cure my problem I will subscribe.. lol

Not complaining but it didn’t work for me. Still in premier looks flawless exported traditionally and choppy, tried the encoder way and still choppy. 🤔 I still appreciate your video. Thanks!

amen brother, I'm so glad this was the first video my "premiere pro drone video choppy" search found. Sub

This was my exact issue. Thanks for making this video.

Justin, you saved hair on my head. Premiere was driving me nuts

wow thank you so much man!

Solved! Thank you!

It actually worked 😢 thanks

thank you ! i was ready to pull my hair out

I'm so frustrated! Found this video and was stoked that this may be the issue - ran it through ME and still exports choppy - it is SLIGHTLY better than just exporting from CC 23 but its still there and I'm losing my mind - never had this happen before

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!! I was furious to why my drone footage are stuck too!!! I used to export them without an issue but all of a sudden with the new premiere update, non of my drone footage was working anymore!!! OMG, you don't know how much time ive wasted trying to figure out what was going on until I found this video!!! life saver!!!!!!! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You actually deserve a Noble Prize, crazy how underrated this video is!!!!

Awesome, worked like a charm. Thank you sir!

bro speaks ohio language

I tried this and everything else.
No help for me.

My problem is that it doesn't show to open captions after export. Otherwise the video got smooth as butter. Any tips?

Holy Sh*t, thanks for this, I was about to Tom Brady my laptop across the room.

Thank you! You saved my day!
