Adobe Premiere Pro Timeline Play Head Stuck Glitch Fix

Adobe Premiere Pro Stuck timeline play head and buggy real time scrubbing glitch fix

If you use Adobe Premiere Pro you may have had a problem with scrubbing along the timeline where the play head moves along the timeline but the preview footage is stopped or jumps or skips.

Or maybe you are finding that the real time rendering or playback is stopping then starting up again.

Well this easy fix might help you to edit your footage more smoothly and without crashing!

So Hopefully no more lagging playback in Premiere Pro

just to add the fact this issue seems to be 3+ years old as well and my PC is not cheap its got some power to it yh adobe is just milking us all they got is a payment plan to stay rich its sad i use to love it

[JackChappleShow]

Thanks! I'm new to premiere and this worked. You're the best!

[rexrulls]

I can't believe that fixed it, I have no words.

[NotBhavyaSharma]

Absolute life saver! The first trick worked.

[Some context if any future users face a similar issue: I had been editing yesterday with the program open but decided to expriment wether I wanted to shift my main taskbar to another desktop, and this freaked out the program for some reason where after importing 3 layers or more the playback would be completely bugged and the playhead would dissapear.]

Thanks a lot man!

[MarleyThirteen]

[alphakowa]

Thank you, doing the *window>workspace>reset to saved layout* fixed my frozen timeline (my issue: preview would work when i click on a part on timeline but play head is frozen along with the graphics panel and can't click on anything in it or change panels)

[BrosukeSenpai]

I know this video is like a few years old but that "Reset to saved Layout" worked out beautifully!!! Thank you for that!

[chilli]

THANK YOU. I had the opposite problem, the video would play and the needle or scrubber wouldn't move.

[DANEH]

omg you saved me so much time! Thank you!

This video fixed my problem in 10 seconds. It was the Workspace, in my case. I'm keeping this one bookmarked.
