How To fix Premiere Pro Playback Lag - 12 ways To Fix Slow Playback In Timeline

Thank you for your help!

Great video

A thing to note. The amount of power that you supply to your PC might also effect your performance especially when you using laptop. When using energy stored in laptop's battery sometimes the laptop can limit power output since it tries to preserve energy.

I don't have the option to click "optimize rendering for performance". I have a PC, maybe that's why?

Amazing video, all the best to you.

bless you brother!

thanks, best video i've seen so far.

You're awesome, It really works!

You’re awesome, thanks man!

Genius. Thank you man!

Hey great vid. FYI Cache is pronounced like this: "Cash" just thought i'd let you know. not throwing shade at you or anything.

thanks man. It really helped. Especially the rendering part 👍

don't clean your cache, if your project is not finished.

I just love the accent

It was very useful! I subbed

Great, straight to the point

Thanks bud, this was helpful

Thanks for the help!

i have a pc with a i9/4070/32gb ram and it struggles when playing some 2k footages, i can't find a solution to this problem!

Thank you it was indeed very useful.

Thank you so much ! I was struggling with this lag & even stopped working with the software.Finally got a solution!

Hey, what version of Premiere are you using here? My menus are seemingly quite different with the 2023 version!

Thank you, you have just saved me from a mental breakdown

It's nice to revisit some of these known methods, you never know when Premiere Pro gonna reset a random thing in your settings after an update. Thank you for the tutorial

Appreciate this video! After not having any issues for months all of a sudden the fx button was needed to be turned off to make my footage run! So thank you!

What do I do when the option to change the rendering and playback engine is not available? (it goes like light grey and is not changeable) Because i'm trying to get it to work on my GPU since i got a RTX 3060. Can you help?

does it help when putting mogrts?

This video really helped, I was completely doomed! Thank you, my guy!

My savior🙏 All the posts and videos I saw basically told me I needed a better computer, I'm so glad I can across this video before it got to me. Thank you!!!

You solved my problem like a slow playback assassin. Thanks man 👍

Thank you so much, I've been struggling finding way to fix the playback lag. You've gotten a new subscriber.

dude this actually helped getting rid of my playback! thank you so much <3

... program worked. now suddenly it skips back and forth during playback. audio is choppy. You can see the seek bar skipping back and forth while it is playing.
This just started today. No settings were changed whatsoever. None of this stuff works. really getting sick of this software. I'm paying this company $35/month just to have it randomly bug out like this every month. Quite ridiculous. I will be resolving the problem.
