Issues with Premiere Pro on M2 Ultra Studio and it has to do with Mac Spaces

Having a new M2 Ultra Studio, and always using 2 monitors to edit, makes this an issue close to my heart. Especially because to fix it, you must set you mac to Display have separate Spaces, which means you can’t have windows party between 2 windows and you are forced to have a dock that switches between the 2 windows (seemingly at random) and menus confusingly on both windows.

The current workaround is posted on Adobe Community from a question by Igal Hect.

From Kyle Plumadore an Adobe Employee.

I have a quick update for anyone experiencing poor playback performance on M2 Mac Studio Multi-display setups. We’ve identified an issue where disabling the MacOS system setting “Displays have separate Spaces” under “Desktop & Dock” degrades playback performance. By default this setting is enabled. We’re still working on an official resolution but in the meantime you can try re-enabling that setting as a workaround (requires system reboot to take effect)

And with the issue not fixed in Sonoma or in Premiere, I think this is going to go on for a long time, and I HATE IT.

Adobe has updated After Effects to October 2023 (Version 24.0)

Next-Gen Roto Brush, I have been looking forward to, the 3rd generation, and hopefully the best and most powerful version to date.

OpenColorIO Workflow enhancements is welcome as this is an industry standard and After Effects has always lacked color options.

Text Scripting Support should be an interesting addition to make more powerful text animations.

And Currently in the Beta

True 3D Workspace should be pretty awesome, since Adobe does have it’s own 3D software (just wish it was part of the same subscription).

And you can check out what is new at Adobe.

5x Faster Timeline Drawing could not be more welcome.

New Text-Based Editing Features, including deleting all pauses (I will never use this one), work with multi-channel audio and more control over transcript view. More control is always welcome.

Color Settings with a consolidating of color selections into a single tab. Lets hope this brings a little more of the control that you have in DaVinci Resolve, but I doubt it. Also be nice if they added in a setting to get around the damn quicktime color shift like you can in DaVinci, but I doubt it.

Audio Auto Tagging is welcome I guess, though not something I ever thought of needing. As I always bring things into labeled folders and separate things onto their own timelines, so I guess I am not the target for this.

Effects Manager is to help identify and troubleshoot problem plug-ins, which is good, help in solving issues is always good.

Project Templates for Fast Setup is great, but it needs to also have hard drive folder templates, like you can do in Post Haste. And it should include folders and let you automatically set the renders and the export folders, that would be amazing.

Restore Projects through Recovery Mode. This is awesome, and I hope it works very well.
