Hello to everyone! First of all I apologize to you for my bad english. About a month ago I bought a Macbook with great hopes. The only reason for this was that my old computer was now inadequate for video editing. But I am having a great disappointment right now.

First of all I want to give you all the necessary information.

Features of my computer :

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)
2.5 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536 MB

The characteristics of the video I have organized:

1080p 60 FPS
Iphone 8 Plus
h264

The problem I am having is:
I can not even edit 1080p at 60FPS video resolution. After you start editing, the timeline begins to freeze and the frame drop color turns yellow. When I opened the activity monitor, I did not see any trouble in Ram. But I can not say the same thing for CPU. Because the percentage of Premiere Pro is 400%. The fan is almost nervous. And as I said this is not 4k image 1080p!

I have tried many solutions for this.
I'm seeing it with Apple. There are no defects in the hardware. And I tried all the ways below.

I closed the effects while editing.

I made the maximum RAM I could use from the settings.

I formatted the Macbook.

I reinstalled Premiere Pro.

I turned off Maximum bit depth and Maximum render quality.

And many more solutions I found on the internet ...

Please help me. Because I've been struggling for days and I have not found any solution.

I put photos for more information.

What version of Premiere Pro are you using? Have you tried converting the video into another format before importing into Premiere?

Handbrake

mpegStreamclip

Take a look at the 60fps thread in the Adobe Community. There is a simple instruction for creating a sequence that matches the clip.
