I feel like this is a recent thing but I've been noticing that Icon view (the thumbnails of clips in Project view) take FOREVER to load.
(Around a whole minute before I see them all) .
Playback and scrubbing is fine ON the timeline – it's just looking at the clips in the bins that seems to be the problem – is there anything that can be done to fix this? .
For reference my PC specs:.
CPU – 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700K 3.
40 GHz.
128gb Ram.
GPU- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 .
Using version 23.5 for Premiere.

If you're experiencing slow loading times for the thumbnails in the Icon view of Adobe Premiere Pro's Project panel, there are a few potential solutions you can try:
-
Clear Media Cache: Premiere Pro generates and stores cache files for media assets to improve performance. Over time, these cache files can become bloated and slow down the application. You can try clearing the media cache by going to Edit > Preferences > Media Cache, and click on the “Clean” button to delete the cache files.
-
Increase Media Cache Size: By default, Premiere Pro allocates a certain amount of disk space for the media cache. If the cache size is too small, it may cause slow loading times. In the Media Cache preferences, you can increase the Maximum Disk Cache Size to allocate more space for the cache files.
-
Change Thumbnail Display Settings: Premiere Pro allows you to customize the thumbnail display settings in the Project panel. You can try adjusting these settings to see if it improves the loading times. Right-click on a blank space in the Project panel, go to the Thumbnail Display submenu, and experiment with options like “Clip Name and Label Color” or “Clip Name and Video Usage.”
-
Update GPU Drivers: Ensure that you have the latest drivers installed for your NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card. Outdated GPU drivers can sometimes cause performance issues in Premiere Pro. Visit the NVIDIA website to download and install the latest drivers for your GPU model.
-
Disable or Update Third-Party Plugins: If you have any third-party plugins or effects installed in Premiere Pro, they could potentially conflict with the software and cause slow performance. Try disabling or updating these plugins to see if it resolves the issue.
-
Optimize Hardware Acceleration Settings: Premiere Pro can utilize hardware acceleration for better performance. You can check if the current hardware acceleration settings are optimized for your system. Go to File > Project Settings > General, and under the “Video Rendering and Playback” section, select “Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration” if available.
-
Check for Software Updates: Make sure you're using the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro. Updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements, which may help resolve issues like slow thumbnail loading.
If the problem persists after trying these steps, you may want to consider reaching out to Adobe Support for further assistance, as they can provide specific troubleshooting steps based on your system and software configuration.
