 Hello everybody welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro 2021 tutorial and this one I'm going to show you how to eliminate playback lag and before you click out and say hey that looks like a bulldog with some lightning going on in the background yeah you'd be right that is a lightning bulldog but the point is I've actually put on some effects onto this because I want to show you very quickly how to get rid of playback lag but before I do that let me just click on this video here you'll see here I've got lightning effects applied I've got a very slight tint applied and I've actually got some lighting effects as well so I relit the scene a little bit so if I take all of these off this is what you generally see or you're probably seeing right now you drag and drop some footage in and you have yellow this basically means that yeah your your computer can handle it and when you hit spacebar or when you hit play it's going to play it back and there's going to be very little if any lag so there'll be no lag playback but once you start adding in effects or if you start using really really high detail super high resolution footage you're going to see this bar go from yellow to red and that means basically that when you're playing it back it's going to be lagging the fix for this and the trick is simple what you want to do is you want to go up to sequence and then you want to go render into out when you do this this is going to go ahead and render all of it now I've got a medium speed laptop and it's going to render all of the effects the lightning effects the lighting effects the tint or if it's really high res footage it's going to it's going to play through it all and it's going to render it and in about 30 seconds I'll come back in 30 seconds hey hey fast forward you're going to see here that lightning bulldog is in full effect and it's not lagging it's playing straight through it and if I go ahead and move the playhead and I started here and I hit spacebar for example all of the effects all the high res footage is all playing without any playback lag and you know what is because you'll see that it's in green here and that green means good to go no lag so that's how you fix playback lag last thing I will mention if you're only using effects and your footage isn't any too big a deal you can go render effects into out but it really doesn't doesn't really make much of a difference I would just go render into out set your playhead at the beginning and that's it guys that's how you fix lag thanks for watching ton more stuff coming up stay tuned
