!!! Delete Insta360 !!!
Here’s what I posted on the Adobe forum. Sorry that I forgot to cross-post here. Hope this helps.
Warning: If you’ve ever used Insta360 software, uninstall the extensions from Premiere. There is a known issue with the Insta360 VR video stitching panel extension that makes Premiere go crazy, causing catastrophic interface lag. This is not an issue with Adobe’s Premiere Pro.

After simplifying to a single HD video (ProRes 422 LT at 29.97) and a couple of WAVs, the lag issue remains. All but two computers (7 out of 9 edit suites) have no issues and can handle much more complex and resource intensive projects. My 16 Gb/s fiber connection is identical to all other edit suite workstations and our maintained throughput of 700 – 1,200 MB/s is blazing fast. I used to be able to run much more complex timelines with a variety of codecs and resolutions up to 6k of REDcode (at 1/4 quality of course). All workstations are iMac Pros except for my Mac Pro 6,1. I would understand if my MacPro machine would behave differently from the iMac Pros, expect that one of the iMac Pros is also having this lag issue.
We’re discussing over at the Adobe forums, but I thought I would cross post here to cover my bases: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2605570

These are traditional, single-user project files being opened and used one at a time on different stations.

I do not understand your question. What do you mean by proportions of footage? The problem project file, we’ll call that project file A originated in Edit 1. When I open that project in my suite, Edit 4, I experience interface lag that the Edit 1 suite was not experiencing. It’s the same media, being hosted by the same server, and served in the same way via 10 Gig fiber channel via a Quantum StorNext SAN.
-
I should clarify that the two machines that are experiencing lag are working with projects that started in two specific suites. The projects started in Edit 2 and 7 and these two suites do not experience the lag. Those particular projects are experiencing lag when used in Edit 4 and 8.

I’m not talking about playback lag or video responsiveness. My issue has to do with interface lag. Clicking on a menu induces a delay. Adjusting a keyframe on any audio-only clip induces a delay. Clicking and dragging a color solid from one bin to another induces a delay. All interface interactivity has the lag delay. Let’s talk about the machines that are not in my suite that are involved: The iMac Pro in Edit 8 is experiencing this same lag issue whereas another iMac Pro in Edit 1 with exactly the same setup; OS, software, plugins, and fiber channel connection to the SAN is not. I do not suspect the media. Last week I was working with 8k REDcode files that take a moment to display, heck our biggest film right now is 10k by 2k and that works fine (though obviously, that film drops frames during playback which is not the issue I’m reporting here). The project files are tiny, under 1.5 MB. Yes deleting everything in the project file does alleviate the problem but that isn’t a workaround, obviously.

Select your card type, OS. When I enter my info for my Mac’s Quadro K5000, I would choose to search for the ODE Graphics Driver in the download type.

In my opinion the card is not defective. I had this issue as soon as I upgraded to 10.10 Yosemite on my Mac Pro 5,1. Thought I fried the K5000 card and replaced with a new one (both PNY). The issue continued. During any given boot session, the problem is initiated by Adobe software using CUDA, either Premiere or Media Encoder, and then can be seen in other apps. It’s an OS specific / CUDA / Adobe combination that is triggering it.

My organization is also looking into Adobe DAM systems. We are a 70-100 person company, with 8 edit suites, a 10 person graphics department, 12 person interactive experience programming department, and we’d like to link all these departments. In addition to asset management, it would also need a tasking and versioning system. Any thoughts?
