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).
