MacBook Pro’s fan speeds spike whenever I use Premiere Pro, even on simple edits

I’ve got a 2019 MacBook Pro running macOS Ventura with 16GB RAM and an external 4K monitor connected via USB-C. Lately, whenever I open Adobe Premiere Pro - even just for trimming clips or adding basic transitions - the fans ramp up to max, and the laptop gets really hot, which is unusual because I’m not doing any heavy rendering or effects. I’ve already tried resetting the SMC and PRAM, checked for any background tasks hogging CPU, and made sure Premiere and macOS are fully updated. It’s frustrating because I mostly do light video editing and would expect the fans to stay quieter. Has anyone experienced similar overheating with Premiere on MacBooks without heavy workloads? Are there any settings or workflows I could tweak to keep the fans quieter without sacrificing performance?
