I just started making 4k 1hr 4 multi camera videos of DJ sets and finally got into a rhythm of getting them done pretty quickly.
Then all of a sudden, Premiere has gotten so frozen & unbearably slow that I can’t click anything without the mouse being busy. After a week of trying to create proxies, deleting media cache, 1/4 resolution in preview, uninstall/install, completely restarting the project: it randomly starting working fine then I got the project pumped out.
Then I attempted to do another one and now it’s back to being completely frozen. I have done everything I have read to help speed everything up and it just seems like for no reason it’s back to being frozen.
I have m5pro 24Ram MacBook Pro. Nothing is saved on the Mac. It’s on a 4TB SSD external drive.
3 cameras were shot on insta 360 that were converted into 4k single frame videos. 1 camera is an iPhone in 4k.
I have had no issue with this on past projects until a week ago
This is driving me crazy. I used to be able to get this done in about a day but now it’s just weeks of being frozen and nothing working
EDIT:
I was away at work all day and hopped back on Premiere and now it is working just fine. I assume that out of nowhere it will prob start freezing again so i am going to try to pump out as many of my projects as i can until then.
If and when it goes back to freezing i will do the advice that people gave me and report back
