Adobe Premiere Pro 2023/2022 Slow Playback Lag Performance Fix

Funny thing is brother I have a maxed out pc 4090 with i9 64gbs ram and STILL have this issue adobe needs to get they shit together

I searched online forever for a solution to this issue and Premiere was driving me bonkers until I found your video, thank you so much! 🙏

I have 2 devices,
one a laptop which is Zephyrus M16 2022 with an i9 12900h and an rtx 3070, before I was using premiere 2020 and now running premiere pro 2023
two, a PC I build around 4 years ago which has an i7 9700f and an rtx 2080, still running premiere pro 2020
Both has Nvidia studio drivers installed. My PC has a much faster playback and it's way smoother compared to my laptop after upgrading to 2023.
Thanks a lot!

thank you so mouch

Hi. from Moscow. 1080 ti graphics card. Ram 32 GB, processor Risen 7 2700x. After the 2023.2 version of the program, everything began to slow down and freeze. Playback on the timeline is constantly delayed after pressing the play button for 20 seconds! Neither proxy nor transcoding helps!. New drivers. I tried the studio version and game drivers - it doesn't help. Removed BORIS FX plugins. It began to work better, but still delays. I transferred the project to m2 sd, the same thing also did not pass delays. In general, I think to completely switch to Da Vinci, because the Premier is an unreliable program and constant problems with it. in general, I disabled the GPU wherever possible. The preview on the processor has become much faster. There was a delay of up to 20 seconds on the video card! Per processor 1 second! This is a product adobe has been making for many years and nothing has changed in it. I'm not even talking about after effects - it's generally the king of the gods!

it worked! Thank you i had delays up to 10 seconds and the playback had massive framedrops. My Premiere was basicly useless. Now it is way better. i use an Intel Core i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz and a nvidia Gforcegtx 1650 max q

Smooth to the core! Just like what Connor said. Thank you brother!

Thanks

AMAZING FIX MY FRUSTRATIONS WERE THROUGH THE ROUGH

for me, I just go to Sequance > Sequence Setting > File Format > . quick time.
Then, Codec. (select what work for u, for me Apple ProRes 422).
Finally, Sequance again> render entire work area ( selected preview that lagginng).
DONE!

Why in the HELL is this enabled by default??? This changed everything for me! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

and playback of h264 was non-existant on Premiere 2023 with no effects. I did this and BAM! I can edit. Its like Adobe hard coded a way to kill performance for LOLs.

I'm so tired of these adobe updates, it's always the same, maybe time to try final cut for me

I have a f***ing RTX 4090 and AMD 3900xt 12-core, still really bad performance, but this did help! 😅

I've got a 3070ti and an i7 13700k, I was genuinely wondering if it was my machine even though it's still practically brand new. Glad that's not the case, but this is still ridiculously stupid.

I have an I7 7700K and a GTX 1080 and I was also getting playback lag.
Disabling the GPU decoding increased my CPU usage (as expected) but it solved the playback lag.
It's way more enjoyable to edit now.
Thank you for the advice!

Thanks, I migh still switch back to 2019 though

thank you, seems to have fixed it!

Thank you lord :)

Holly cow, my problems been FIX ON 2022

OMG!!! Thank you SO much! This fixed all my lag.

Awesome..Thanks alot it worked

h264/hevc does not pop up when i go there pls help

This worked for me thank you!

OMFGGG, you are a god send, I saw those settings earlier and I said to myself, nope it's probably not that. I've been trying to fix this for months and i've been using my crappy work computer to render videos because of that (takes SO MUCH longer). I have a 5900x CPU and a 390x for GPU so I was losing my mind as to why this wasn't working correctly on this setup. Thank you so much!

I've been going crazy with this lag. If I rendered a segment of the project, it would play better. But, rendering (even the most basic talking head footage, no color grading) was taking way longer than normal.
This worked for me. Thank you, so much!

Man you saved my nervs thanks a lot!

ty for the help i have a rtx 2070 super and i just downloaded premiere pro and i have been having playback issues ive gone thru a ton of videos and this one has helped the most much appreciated.

Works for me after horrible performance following the 2022 update. Thank you!!

WOW!!! THANKS!!! this worked for me...

Thanks helped a bit but still having issues

omg thank you so much <3

This worked for me, thank you. I am using the new macbook pro M1 Max 64 GB Memory. I went to edit my first video, and knew something wasn't right. The space bar delay was so long. I disabled the "enable hardware accelerated decoding" then restarted premiere and now it is lightning fast. Thanks very much.

Thank you so much I have been looking for this fix for a long time

Thank you! Clear, fast and informative. Great video!

thank you very much i used only NVidia and everythink works!!

I'm using Macbook Pro, graphics Intel Iris pro, and I CAN'T EVEN EDIT ANY CAPTION CAUSE THE CURSOR DON'T EVEN WANT TO MOVE ON THIS UPDATE VERSION WHAT THE HECK. 🤯🤬🔥🔥🔥🤌🏼🔪

Wow this fixed all my issues. My system Treadripper 3960x 64gb Ram 2080ti switching it over to CPU massive performance increase thanks

this helped, thank you!

100th like! But thank you so much this fixed my problem.

Massive thank you for this solution! I''ve been through about 20 tutorial videos and as many websites which all recommend variations of the same standard fixes of which none worked. Turning off hardware decoding finally fixed my problem for good, no more dropped frames at 1/4 resolution, now I'm able to do full resolution playback with 0 dropped frames. I'm running an RTX 2070 so I have no idea why hardware decoding is so bad.

I must be the only one that doesn't have that option under media...

I have noticed it's getting worse with each upgrade. I just wish they would stop tinkering with the machine

Bro what this actually worked

Thanks alot! helped me out with client work you da man

Maaan the beginning part where you were stuttering was soooooo freakin funny!!!! I actually spit out my coffee!!! Lol 😂 😂😂😂😂. Awesome video brother!!!
