  • Premiere Pro CS6-very sluggish

    Posted by Phil Mastman on February 10, 2013 at 3:36 am

    Premiere Pro’s interface is suddenly acting very sluggish on my 12-core 64GB Mac Pro. Adding a new bin will cause the spinning beachball for over 30 seconds. Importing a single clip or moving one from one bin to another takes forever. Same for duplicating a sequence. I’ve tried trashing prefs. No change. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    –Phil

    Have you tried the standard approach for resolving quirks in PrP?

    1. Trash Prefs.
    2. Repair Permissions.
    3. Delete Media Cache.
    4. Open new sequence and copy/paste old one into it.

    Try each step and test system before moving to the next. Good luck!

    Problem solved. Turns out that Pr does not like having several large JPEG sequences in a bin. I removed the sequences (about 7000 individual JPEG frames), and now Pr is zipping along as normal. Better to convert those frame sequences to a movie before bringing them into Premiere.

    [Phil Mastman] “Turns out that Pr does not like having several large JPEG sequences in a bin.”
    How big was the frame size for the JPEGs? You can resize them before bringing into Premiere Pro.

    Kevin, the jpegs were 1920×1080. Not huge. Just too many of them for Pr to handle.

    Odd. Premiere Pro should be able to handle large image sequences. I’ll try to reproduce the problem.
