  • Imac Retina 5k and really strange performance issue.

    Posted by Yinther Salva on November 29, 2016 at 6:30 pm

    Hello folks! Nice to meet you! I wonder if any of you ever met this issue:

    I have a new imac (late 2015) with 5k retina display and daysy chained Dell display. When my timeline window is on retina display i expirience sluggish zoom-in, drag, moving clips and so on. And when it is on my Dell display everything works perfectly smooth!

    And it seems the higher resolution increases the sluggishnes

    Anyone has the same problem? Anyone knows how to fix it?

    Are you using the function to display ‘duplicate frame markers’ (under the wrench icon top left side of timeline)?
    Using these color markers to display duplicate used media on a timeline is known to slow down the UI’s performance. Maybe try turning it off.

    You can also try resetting the workspaces or using a default workspace. (under the ‘window’ tab)
    Sometimes custom built workspaces slow down the UI as well. Try using the default ‘editing workspace’ as a test, is it still slow on the iMac’s display? Maybe try rebuilding your custom workspace from scratch.

    Kind regards and best of luck,
    Merlin

    Hello! Thank you for the response! I dont have this feature (duplicate frames) checked and personaly i think the whole issue is 5k resolution itself – PP just cant operate smoothly in it.
