A Simple Fix for MOST Glitches in Premiere Pro

Hey Friends! Thanks for tuning in. Today, I'll share one of the best things I've learned over the years as an editor; a quick fix for most Premiere Pro glitches. Whether it's an old project that won't open right, laggy scrub bar, or any number of other weird, dumb things that Premiere does sometimes, this simple trick should get you back on track to editing in no time.

Thank you SO much! I was having some weird issues with the timeline that I'd never had before. After trying to fix it for about 30 minutes without success, I came across your video, tried your solution, and IT WORKED! Yay! No more weird timeline issues. Thank you for helping to solve my problem with your video!! You saved me from any further frustration. 😄

WOW! This saved me so much time, I had this problem with my timeline bugging and I couldn't drag my adjustment layers or the effects on it. This fixed it completley. Thanks!

finally a video that addresses my problem, every other video on the entire youtube when I was searching for lagging/stuttering problems in Adobe Premiere is about the PLAYBACK problems and that is NOT always the case. THANK YOU!

What a random thing, but so convenient to have in the toolbox when time is of the essence 🙏

After trying different methods like Close Premiere Pro, restart PC, reinstall Premiere Pro, and giving my hard drive the "WTF r u dying?" look, I did the internet search and bypassed many different obviously wrong answers. I clicked on your video thinking I was about to be given a generic click bait solution.

But yours worked. You are awesome! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you!

If for whatever reason after following the steps, your timeline is empty: double click on a couple of files which are used in your project (by default bottom left window) till your timeline restores.

Thanks!! Going to try that immediately!

[Kenny-Ross]

This is the first time I've seen this solution. It works. Thank you! You rock!

[KamillaEarlywine]

After watching this, I did a simple Save As, and created a new project that way. It totally fixed my problem!

[MrUKRAINEC]

Thank you so much! A simple but so huge solution!

I have the same problem when i import intro a new project. EVERYTHING buggs, Timeline, every window. It just happens occasionally

[curtismuasya]

Thank you 💪🏿
For amateurs, import and click on list view under project panel then look for the green icon (sequence) then click on it, thats where I got stuck 😂
Thank you 🤧
This was soo helpful

hello there, i just bought a new computer and I'm facing a really weird problem when I play back a clip in a sequence, it's not lagging, it is more like each frame has been corrupted, but it's as annoying as when a clip is lagging, I've done every solution related for fixing playback lag but has no effect on my problem. can you help me?

[barrymorefilms]

Thank you very, wish you could see the relive and smile it brought to my face 😁

[pucksandpaperbacks]

Omg! My Premiere has been glitching like crazy since the new update and this is so helpful. I've only seen advice like change the GPU or clear media cache and those don't always help.

What a lifesaver, thank you! On a side note: Bring back FCP 7! Premiere is so glitchy 😢
