Premiere Elements 11 slow then not responding on Mac

I have an iMac that I've used PE 11 successfully for a couple years.  Suddenly it's come to a grinding halt.  When I try to edit anything it slows to a crawl, then just stops working all together.
Here's what I've done so far:
Updated my Mac to OS X 10.10.2
Cleared cached files
Made space on my hard drive
Uninstalled, and reinstalled PE 11
Other suggestions?
An interesting symptom I've noted as it goes down the tubes: 
The windows such as Project Assets stay in the foreground if I use another program while waiting for it to think about doing what I asked it to, for example; play the clip that I'm trying to edit.  So as I'm looking at my mail, the PE dialog boxes will be in my way. 

Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 11 is not responding

    I work on a macbook pro.  I have Adobe premiere elements 11. I uploaded video to a new project. I dragged some of the thumb nails onto the timeline on Thursday and successfully edited.  Today I dragged a few more onto the timeline and began editing.  All of a sudden, the cursor begins spinning.  I go to force quit and it tells me that the program is not responding.  I quit and tried again.  I have rebooted my computer a number of times, but to no avail.  Any suggestions as what I can try to keep the program running and edit my project?  Should I just open a new project and start from scratch since I haven't edited many of the interviews?
    Thanks.

    Please determine if you can open a new project without problems.
    Do you work with the AutoSave ON in preferences (Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoSave)? If so, go to the Adobe Premiere Elements Auto Save Folder and go through the Auto Saves
    seeking one that will open after you double click it. Each of those AutoSaves is the project file at different phases of your editing. If you get one that opens, then build it back to where you were before you ran into the problem.
    If you can get to the build back from an AutoSave, I would watch closely to see what addition to the project sends the project back into trouble again. Then we target
    the addition for troubleshooting.
    Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • Premiere Elements 12 will not allow me to add any more 'Default Text'

    Premiere Elements 12 will not allow me to add any more 'Default Text'. Being using it fine up until today! Created over 80 words so far for subtitles but for some reason it wont allow me today!!!

    Dave
    Thanks for the follow up. Interesting result.
    What is the specific Music Score that you used in the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Mac Soundtrack that was limiting you in the number of words that could be included as text in the project's opened Titler?
    Please confirm
    a. Working in Expert workspace or Quick workspace?
    and
    b. Was the 12.1 Update in effect before and after you observed that the Music Score soundtrack removal resolved the issue of number of words limit in the Titler?
    and
    c. Did the Titler problem exist if you replace the Music Score soundtrack with a non Music Score music file?
    and
    d. If you moved the Music Score soundtrack to one of the numbered Audio Tracks, did the Titler problem exist?
    If you have no Music Score soundtrack in the project, create your title of 80 plus words in the Titler, close the Titler, and then bring the Music
    Score soundtrack to the project's Soundtrack, does that strategy work for you?
    The above information will help me to think about what happened in your case and give me more insight into how to prevent it happening to
    you in future projects.
    Thanks.

    Action I’ve taken: I’ve re-installed Premiere Elements 13. Problem remains.
    This issue has consumed too much of my time and does not go away.  It ruins my video.
    Help please.
    Thanks

    I tried using the Guest Account on my Mac. In the Guest Account, Illustrator works perfect!
    Then I started wondering what processes (tools/tweaks) I run by default on my account. Turned out the problem was called by a little background tool called RightZoom. RightZoom let's the green 'zoom' button always maximize your current window.
    So thanks! Problem solved!

    Hi Jacquima,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    It seems like Premiere Elements 12 is not activated properly.
    Please open the finder window and click on go and choose computer.
    Navigate to the below path then
    MacHD>Library>Application support>Adobe
    Rename the files SLstore and Slcache to Slstore.old and Slcache.old respectively.
    Launch Premiere elements 12 again it will prompt you to enter your Adobe id and password and then the serial number.
    By following the above steps you will have to reactivate your Adobe products. Make sure you have no other Adobe product.
    If you have any other adobe product installed make sure you have the serial number for that.
    Thanks

  • I7 Fully loaded iMac becoming unusable slow apps not responding with Mavericks

    Very frustrating. My 2012 iMac with an i7/16Gig memory is crawling with Mavericks. It didn't start out that way, but it's almost unusable now. I will get a few minutes of seeming to work fine, then periods of long lasting slowness. Evening typing an email will have a delay where typing will not come out as I am typing it for a few seconds, then it all bursts out. Simple interactions get spinning beach balls from 5-45 seconds. The activity monitor shows nothing taking any particularly large amount of processor load, memory pressure and status is all green & good. Some disk activity but nothing that should account for the lags. Loading applications, the system grinds to being unresponsive. Adobe applications and running aperture have delays in activity from 5-60 seconds in simple interaction. The activity monitor then shows several of the larger apps (iTunes, Aperture, Premiere Pro) as Application Not Responding. It can take from to 30 seconds (if Im lucky) to several minutes for the system to become responsive again. Sometimes it never does.
    I have run DiskUtility /repair permissions several times with no real results. There are documented issues with Finder being slow to pull up files and directories. I ran the fix for that as well as the slow restart/bootup issues documented. Those fixes made a difference but not with the overall issue of the system just grinding to a halt.
    Has anyone else seen this, any suggestions on what to do to fix it? Im spending more time fighting the computer than getting my work done.

  • Premiere elements 11- PitchShifter not working?

    Pitch shifter in Premiere elements 11 is not working as good as it was in Premiere elements 7. Here's some of my issues:
    When I change the pitch, the end of the audio is cut off/out of sync
    When a clip is short, the audio won't play if it has the pitch shifter effect
    When I split a clip with pitch shifter applied, the audio skips
    I would like it if the pitchshifter would be more like the one that was in premiere elements 7.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Is Not Opening (Need Help ASAP)

    Hello,
    I tried to start up the program and it won't start. Previously, I would have the problem of my software not starting when I clicked on the icon. I found a way to get around that, but now it isn't starting at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program and nothing has changed. All I get now is a pop-up box that says  that the program has stopped working. I really don't know what to do!
    Computer Information:
    Windows Edition : Windows Vista Home Premium  2007
    Computer Type: Sony Vaio
    Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3200 @2.00GHz
    Memory (RAM): 3.00GB

    You realize that you are not using Premiere Elements 12/12.1 optimally on Windows Vista be it 32 or 64 bit. You still have a Premiere Elements 12/12.1 32 bit application which has computer resource issues when trying to get a larger project taken to completion successfully. With the 32 bit system, the maximum supported installed RAM = 4 GB, typically with 3.2 to 3.0 GB or less of that available. And, you appear to have only 3 GB RAM to start with.
    It sounds like it may have worked before from what you wrote. How long ago did it work? And, what was your last activity in a project before you could no longer get the program to open. Are working with a home computer or is this computer part of a company network?  In your present computer environment moving to Premiere Elements 13 is not a choice since Premiere Elements 13 does not support Windows Vista 32 or 64 bit.
    You could go through the usual drill
    a. Latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 12/12.1?
    b. Running program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    c. Video card/graphics card up to date according to web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    d. Does problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    e. Where do you have the Scratch Disks directed and how much free hard drive space is at that location?
    f. Did you install the program to the default location on the Local Disk C?
    What was your way of getting the program to work previously when problems developed?
    Let us consider the above and then we can decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Photoshop Elements 13 is not responding

    I have downloaded Photoshop Elements 13 and when I go to extract files it almost completes and then it says Photoshop Elements 13 is not responding.  What can I do to fix this?

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

  • Premiere Elements 12 will not run after install

    Long time Premire and Premiere Elements user.  Had been using PE 9 earlier this week.  Yesterday purchased PE 12.  Before even downloading, to avoid any potential conflicts, I uninstalled PE 9, then installed PE12.  After reboot, I attempted to launch the application.  it fails.

    Thanks for letting us know of the outcome of your contact with Adobe.
    I do not work for Adobe nor am I affliated with it in any way. Just a user in a user to user forum.
    In my troubleshooting of various Premiere Elements has have not yet run into a connection between the  dvamarshal.dll and the computer's video card/graphics card. But, video card/graphics card compatibility issues can cause the type of problems that you see in the program.
    What video card/graphics card does your computer use? Under Device Manager/Display Adapters/, do you see only one card listed or two? Assuming that the card(s) are up to date, then please try the following. We are going to delete the BadDrivers.txt file for Premiere Elements 12. In Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, it can be found
    Local Disk C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    and in the Premiere Elements Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. In this Premiere Elements Folder are folders besides this BadDrivers.txt file. You do not want anything in the folders in the Premiere Elements Folder, only the file named BadDrivers.txt file. (When you open a new project, the program will generate a new BadDrivers.txt file and hopefully all will be resolved.) Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    The rationale behind the above approach is explained in the following older thread (post 10). BadDrivers.txt deletion has proven to be a life saver for those with display issues in 9 as well as later versions.

    You have to read the instructions very carefully so that you do not get hit with an Access Denied message.
    But, we need to get your purchased serial number. If you registered Premiere Elements 9 with Adobe, you should be able to see it at http://www.adobe.com under "My Products".
    Please review and consider the above and then we can decide what troubleshooting strategy needs to be developed.

  • Photoshop Elements 13 does not respond to editing tools

    Photoshop Elements 13 does not respond to editing tools.  I have a MAC.  Any suggestions?

    Reset the tools or reset preferences.
    What version of operating system?

  • How can I get past dialog box that wants my country/region?  Premiere Elements 13 will not open!!!

    Cannot get past the country/region dialog box because the list will not allow me to select the United States as the place where I live.  The list is too long and no way to get to the bottom to select the United States!!!  I can't get into Premiere Element 13.

    TNDOGGER888
    Thank you for the reply.
    Let us start with
    1. Is the computer operating system Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit? If it is and you are installing Premiere Elements 13, then the program files will go by default to Local Disk C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Elements 13 as the default location. If you have a computer that is using other than Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, then it will not. Another question is, when your drives were set up, was the SSD drive designated the C drive?
    2. From what you wrote, I understood that you were using your installation files or installation disc to install the program, but were getting stopped very early in the installation process because you could not set the country/language. Typically that setting is done while you are starting the installation. One of the early dialog boxes that you get in that process is named Choose Setup Language (or something like that). That is where I believed you could not set the country/language. Is that the place to which you were referring or some place else?
    3. You do not need to uninstall Premiere Elements 10 to install and run Premiere Elements 13. Just use one program at a time.
    Typically 32 bit applications in a 64 bit computer operating system run in the 32 bit compatibility mode of the 64 bit system. And, these 32 bit applications program files will be in Program Files (x86) Folder. The 64 bit applications program files would be in Program Files. With regard to Premiere Elements 10, some of its files may be found in Program Files and Program Files (x86).
    But, the main focus now is getting Premiere Elements 13 installed to the default location on the Local Disk C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Elements 13 during the installation process after you designate the country/language and are given a country dependent NTSC or PAL system with which to work.
    From a quick look at 13 installation on Windows 7 64 bit, the first installation dialog that mentions language with country implications is
    This is for Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 or 8.1 64 bit. Since you say that the United States is further down the list in your case, I suspect this is not the place where you are having problems. Note the default location in this Options dialog. Did you leave that as is or change it to something else?
    Are you having these issues when you get to the Sign In dialog or some place else?
    Please consider and then let us decide what next.
    Many thanks for the follow up. Appreciated.

  • Premiere Elements 11 will not open Projects

    I had to rebuild my Win 7 PC. Now Premiere Elements 11 will not open Projects saying that the file types are not supported. It will not open raw DV files either.

    Henry Clayton
    Along with Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 (presumed 64 bit), do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed? Are you running Premiere Elements 11 as Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    Can you open a new project?
    When you rebuilt your Window 7, did the source media that went into the existing projects remain in the same save locations with the same file names as before the rebuild?
    How are you opening these project.prel files that I am understanding that you created in version 11 before the Windows 7 rebuild?
    What is the nature of these "raw DV files" to which you refer? Are these DV AVI standard or widescreen files from a capture firewire into the Premiere Elements Capture Window?
    Let us start here and then we can decide what next.
