I wanted to try cutting. Please treat me like DAU, because I have absolutely no idea what my PC / laptop has to be able to do, etc.
Yesterday I cut videos that I had filmed with my DSLR, that was absolutely no problem. Today I tried my new GoPro (4k) and now the preview in the program window jerks unbearably. Cutting is absolutely not possible.
However, the preview in the source window is flawless.
Is that because of the 4k? Can I somehow collectively lower the quality of the 18 clips I need for the project? What can I do now so that these clips are / are not unusable?
Do you have screenshots from Premiere? Timeline and such. That would be helpful for problem analysis.
I'm not assuming that you have to screw the clips down qualitatively.

Your PC is guaranteed to be too slow for 4k, which is why you also work with proxy files.

First you should always speak the timeline completely, so that the bar is green, not yellow. To do this, you put an in and out point and go to sequence rendering in to out.
In general, you should not cut H264 files with Premiere because they are too compressed. Download DaVinci Resolve for free from the Internet and convert all your source files into a Quicktime Apple Pro Res Mov. That should fix the stutters.
Wow, so simple and so effective!
Your PC / laptop is too lame for 4K.
You can either work with proxies or, if that is too complicated or takes up too much storage space, you can simply down-convert the files to HD. Either with Adobe Media Encoder or freeware like Handbrake.
