Actually I have experienced some erratic behavior in Premiere: the timeline changing and suddenly playing back rapidly, disappearance of assets and even sequences from the Project panel, etc.
One Adobe agent advised me: “if you do not update your Mac your hardware drivers will not get updated and the performance will degrade for your Mac also you have an M1 chip that needs to be up to date for best performance and Premiere Pro uses M1 chip as it acts as a CPU & GPU both and if the drivers for that is not updated it might cause performance issues with the application.”
But I’m wary of updates. Please tell me what you think of that agent’s reply. Thanks!
