Adobe Premiere has horrible performance on my system, and I feel like that shouldn't be the case.

So I have a decent PC I'd say:

RTX 5060 8GB

Intel-i7-14700F

32GB DDR5 RAM (24GB Allocated towards Pemiere)

One internal SSD and one external SSD so I can transfer to my Mac whenever needed, I usually save on my external SSD so I'm not sure if that's a factor.

Pemiere Pro is basically unusable on my PC. It's extremely laggy, and it's not even just video playback or navigating the timeline. Right clicking always takes about 4 seconds to process, it takes forever to import videos correctly, and practically everything I do is always delayed by 4-10 seconds and it's getting tedious. My Mac runs Premiere with no issue, even though it's half the specs of what my desktop is. I wouldn't mind strictly using my Mac, but it's very convienent to just start a project without issue on my desktop compared to pulling out the laptop and moving files around.

If anyone has any fixes, please leave a reply🙏 I've tried a lot of the common fixes I've seen online but none seem to work.

Edit: I'm using Windows 11 and all my footage is from OBS. I running Adobe Premire 2026 and it is up to date.
