  • Playback lagging after rendering and no effects. Ram fully free

    Posted by Bathinda Helper on March 11, 2020 at 1:12 pm

    I’ve PP V13.1 Build 193 running on Win10 64 bit.
    I’ve 2nd Gen i3 Processor with 12 gb DDR3 ram. While working in PP, my ram is always free around 4 gb.
    I’ve Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti installed on the Lenovo Desktop Board.

    I’m a very simple editor. My clip is 1280×720 and sequence settings are also same.
    Though frame rate may be different in the clip and sequence.
    Have just made some cuts on timeline.

    Why still, my play back keeps jerking and plays with hiccups?
    I’ve read tons of articles and YTube videos on improving performance.
    Have also successfully rendered the TLine (TL line has turned green).

    I’ve only 1 project in which I’ve been working for the past many days.
    I’ve also tried creating a new project with the same video, but sometimes that jerks sometimes not.

    One thing I noted is that perhaps this started 4-5 days back when I inserted my this hard disk in another computer for a day and opened same PP project there. Then PP warned about some Audio remapping etc. But I didn’t work there long. Just opened the project (after OKaying the dialoge). Found that PP performance was very very bad (almost all config same. Same generation and series processor, Ram 8 instead of 12, graphic card was same as mine). After finding it bad, I removed that hdd and inserted it back into my PC.

    And then again PP warned about some audio channel remapping. And since then I’ve tried changing all audio and other recommended settings, but my problem doesn’t go away fully.

    Sorry for so much explanation.

    The fact that Premiere works at all on your computer is kind of a minor miracle. Your system is woefully under-powered.

    The minimum requirements include an i7 processor and 16 gigs ram.

    But I do only minor work, just 1280*720.
    I don’t use any effects etc. (except the fixed effects).

    Just cutting and joining most of the time.
    It may happen though that sometimes in a sequence of 1280*720, there might be a clip of different resolution. That’s all.

    Also, I’ve 12 gb in PC and 4gb chip extra with me. But since RAM was always free more than 8 gb, I didn’t care to insert that into the PC, which I’ll do now. But I don’t understand when RAM is always free, when I open PP and when after all the work, I finally close my PC, ram is free around 4GBs.

    And C drive is 250 gb SSD (I don’t remember if I mentioned this fact of not). And ‘d’ is 1TB, more than half empty.

    Would you still say that I shouldn’t expect a smooth playback (again, I’ve latest NVidia Graphics Card in my PC).

    To repeat, won’t PP play a smooth video without any editings in a 1280*270 clip on my configuration PC with Graphics and free RAM?

    It’s hard to determine which aspect of your system is causing the issue but in general your system specs simply aren’t even the bare minimum required by Adobe so any performance issues that you encounter are to be expected.
