Premiere Pro Confusion and solution – strange
Ok, first of all I was wondering why Premiere Pro was lagging so badly when I was trying to start work on a new project. I dropped in the audio tracks first just as I always do and playback was really poor. I would start playing the sequence and when I wanted to stop it would not stop playing for many seconds so I had zero accuracy for editing. I did a search, watched some tutorials about best performance, etc. I worked my way through some of these things and while I was doing so I thought I would try something.
I never had this lag before with other projects so I imported my music track into a different project thinking that the file itself was the problem. When I dropped it in there was no delay, BUT as soon as I deleted the video on Video 1 (the only layer of video) the delay returned. I hit ctrl z to return the video track and voila! No delay again.
I don’t quite know why this is with CS 5.5 but as long as I have a video file in the sequence on Video 1 there is no delay in audio playback controls so I just created a generic white box title and dropped in on Video 1. Now everything works fine as long as I leave it there.
I have always started with audio whenever editing a new project unless I had audio in the video itself and never had any of this strangeness with CS4 but for some reason, with CS5.5 this method is the only way I could get things working as they should.
Strange, but interesting. If anyone else is having this same playback lagging problem I wanted to offer this as a possible fix, albeit a strange one.
Has anyone else experienced this issue at all?
