Playback proceeds without issues in the timeline while skipping occurs in Premiere Pro.
Playback proceeds without issues in the timeline while skipping occurs in Premiere Pro.
System details indicate an AMD Ryzen 7 3700x with stock configuration. The setup includes an RTX 3070, 64GB DDR4 RAM, and various storage options such as SATA SSDs, NVME SSDs, and a separate SSD for Adobe Premiere files. There is also mention of an Adobe Premiere Pro project, which has been working smoothly until recently. The issue began today when the playhead skips during timeline navigation, despite smooth playback. Possible causes could be related to recent changes like installing an iPhone and using the ICloud App for Windows. Attempts made so far include restarting the PC, clearing Adobe Premiere cache, uninstalling and reinstalling the software, adjusting hardware acceleration settings, and reducing playback resolution. Further guidance is sought on resolving this problem.

You might want to explore what occurs during skips—what changes or stops when they happen.
Open Task Manager and Resource Monitor to monitor system behavior while editing and playing back files.
Use both utilities, but only one at a time, keeping the windows open for continuous observation.
It may require some experimentation to identify what’s happening.
Remember to back up any critical projects at least twice, in separate locations away from the main system.
Another helpful tool is Process Explorer (Microsoft, free): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysint...s-explorer
Check for unfamiliar or unexpected processes that appear when the playhead skips.
Start by familiarizing yourself with the tools through observation of the OS and applications.
Next, test Adobe Premier Pro while it runs—watch it, open the project, and observe.
Take your time, avoid hasty judgments.
