I have a question about the premiere pro on the mac studio.
Recently, I received my Mac Studio base on M1 Max, 64gb, 1tb ssd.
When I installed Premiere Pro 22.4,
I can’t believe this, it’s really laggy!
It’s only editing the 1080p 60fps. When I play at normal speed, It will delay 2 seconds by pressing the play button. If I try to play it on 2X times,
The sound was going on, but the screen and timeline were freezing.
This is frustration…
The Funny thing is I use back to 15.4.5, Everything was smooth with no problem.
If you know something about it, please let me know. It’s appreciated.

The Posterize Time effect should be a very simple and efficient effect - it literally is just "throwing away" frames, ie, in a 24 fps timeline, a 12fps posterize time effect is saying "only play 12 frames, not 24". Essentially, it should be the equivalent of nesting a 24fps clip in a 12fps timeline (or whatever), and PPro is great at that.

HOWEVER unlike nesting, the posterize time effect is ridiculously slow, even slower when compounded with other effects, plus it is very very buggy compounded with other effects. The speed is very sensitive to the ordering of other effects, even when it should have nothing to do with that. For example, it is slower when applied after Lumetri than when applied before. (videos attached, though I have reproduced these issues on many versions of PPro on mac OS and windows - I am currently on an M1 Max Macbook Pro, PPro 22.4.0 build 57). Please compare with posterize time in AE is fine - it works as expected.

Other bugs:
When applying a transform effect with skew, followed by posterize time, the clip is bizarrely nudged about 10 pixels to the left or right or up or down (the direction depends on the angle of the skew, which is itself weird but maybe will help you find the source of the bug).

Notes: I am a very experienced power user, I understand the distinctions between nesting and posterize time, and there are situations where nesting is not an appropriate solution (while posterize time is). Please don’t just say “use nesting”. I am familiar with nesting but very frequently need to use posterize time in situations where nesting is an inappropriate solution.

TL;DR:
Please make posterize time as fast as nesting. Please make it not have weird buggy interactions with other effects (like transform:skew and Lumetri)

I have posted this within the Community Forum to see what views other users have.

This is a mix of Product Management / Engineering issues - but fundamentally comes down to question 'what is the prioritisation of Engineering Resources allocation for Premiere Pro now and in the future?.'
If resources are scarce, then why waste them on recent GUI changes that in a lot of people's eyes were not exactly high priority.
Recent changes have sparked a major outcry, but we still see stability and performance issues.

This post is meant to be constructive and not a swipe at the teams - it is to help Adobe Premiere Pro team see what users of all market segments are thinking out there.

Is there a disconnect between Product Management and Engineering ?

We post this stuff because we care about getting it right.
If we didn't care about it we would have bought Application xyz a long time ago.

When I have Premiere Pro open on Home screen (i.e. no projects open) it generally sits at 18-20% CPU usage which is just enough to kick in the heat sink fans. This means having to fully close out of Premiere if I need to leave it idle for a minute or two which is an inconvenience and an odd bug to experience. Can this be addressed in next update?

Premiere Pro 22.4
Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version 21H1
Installed on ‎17/‎05/‎2021
OS build 19043.1706

Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700 @ 2.50GHz

Premiere has gotten worse and worse in the way it loads Media. First, in the 2021 versions, it started taking considerably longer to load media. (Tested on different machines, different setups, different connections). On very large projects, the difference in time from pre-2020 is staggering, taking something like 4x times longer that it used to on 2019/2020 versions, even on older machines. Now on the 2022 version the situation is ever worse, as not only it takes FOREVER but it DOES NOT SHOW YOU AT WHICH POINT IN THE PROCESS IT IS!!! Are the software programmers/designers thinking that people only make short/simple little Youtube projects these days? Very large projects with many Terabytes of media are simple impossible to work with in these newer versions, it's terribly frustrating.

I would like an explanation of why Premiere Pro is not making better//more efficient use of CPU power during render of timeline particularly for things like MOGRTs during rendering
See my post in community forum for more detail :

https://community.adobe.com/t5/video-hardware-discussions/pc-hardware-performance-improving-rendering-speed-of-mogrts-in-4k/td-p/12916933

Basically with a CPU only at 49% and GPU just idling along I dont understand what Premiere Software is doing if it has another 50% CPU resource left.
It has been suggested the MOGRT template I have purchased might be inefficient - but can the apparent lack of resource use by the executing software be explained please.
Is this inefficient coding?

Why bother upgrading my edit platform if my existing one is still capable of more oommphh that Premiere is not using.

No other processes are running on my machine.

I will see if earlier Premiere Pro releases are any better.

M1Pro 16" 16GB
Monterey 12.3.1
Premiere 22.3.1 (and pre-version)

There seems to be a massive problem with the current performance by Premiere under Monterey with M1 Chips. The timeline lags extreeeemely. I click somewhere - even the menu bar - and everything happens with 1-2- seconds delay, playhead stops at a certain position and image freezes but sound continues playing for 10-15 secs. It makes editing nearly impossible.

Does anyone have the same problem or a solution? I tried deactivating hardware acceleration, reinstallation, starting the app in intel mode but none of it does really improve the performance significantly.

*EDIT: The combination of starting in Intel Mode plus deactivating all hardware acceleration seems to do the job. But this is ridiculous! Please fix immediately!

The problem seems to be introduced in latest release. Tried 22.1.2 - 22.3.1.

22.1.2 = Everything works fine!
22.2 = Performance is still good but playhead issue occurs everytime once when switching back to the app.
22.3.1. = Not possible to work with!

It seems to be a RAM issue since Apple Activity Monitor show ram being use to 100% after playback starts. Nothing goes anymore...

Your new Create media selection window seems nice, but it is VERY SLOW when working with many videos that are offloaded from the local drives by OneDrive.

Just trying to create a simple new video project causes ALL of the videos in the "favorites" drive to completely download again, which can take a VERY long time... This before anything can be selected!

If you must, create thumbnails of files for selection. But, at least offer a default list of filenames ONLY without any thumbnails or scrubbing options. As it is, this new "create" screen is causing a HUGE delay in doing any work.
