Premiere elements 12 lagging/running very slowly, impossible to edit videos

Hello, recently I've been experiencing very slow performance from premiere elements, this includes playback, rendering, opening the application and it constantly crashes. It was not that bad of a problem up until about a week ago when I started experiencing severe lagging while editing a video. I thought rendering the video would solve the problem because this has happened before and rendering has solved the problem, unfortunately this time and for the past few days, it hasn't helped at all.
Just some more info:  I use a 64 bit Gateway windows 7 laptop ( I apologize if I don't sound like I know what I'm talking about, I'm a video editor in high school, not a computer programmer) 
Any help would be great, I edit videos for my school district's student news and my school's varsity sports teams so I need this problem fixed urgently.
Thank You!

You are communicating just fine.
Let us see if we can get to the core of the Premiere Elements 12 performance issues that you mentioned.
1. Please remind me if you have installed the 12.1 Update for 12. If you have not installed it yet, please do so using an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
2. You say that rendering helped previously. It could be that you have a pile up of preview files in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder in the Adobe Folder.
So let us explore that idea. Please go to that folder and see how much you have in it. (The default is Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/12.0
Every time you do the Timeline rendering of a clip, the project automatically generates a preview file which is stored on the hard drive at the location that you designate in preferences.
Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks and the VIdeo Previews choice. For SD project, the file is DV.AVI and for the HD project, the file is MPEG2.mpg (this is the case if the file rendered is a video or a still). Also check out the contents of the Media Cache Files Folder for pile ups of conformed audio files.
The exact location of preview files and conformed audio files (Media Cache) can be found under Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks.
Also, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and its Media Cache Database area and hit the Clean button to get rid of pile ups of conformed video files.
3. In the quest for computer clean up, you can consider a run through with the free ccleaner product.
CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
Please let us know what you found and if a clean up improved the performance of computer and Premiere Elements? Based on your reply, we can
decide what next.
Thank you.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 11 running very slowly

    I have been working on my first project on Premier Elements 11. After rendering, I now see an alert when the project first opens "Premiere Elements is running very low on system memory. Save the project and proceed with caution. The project also becomes non responsive and I have to shut it down. Any fixes or ideas?

    ambernikki
    What computer operating system are you running your Premiere Elements 11 on?
    What are the properties of your source media that you have on that Expert workspace Timeline, especially when you are getting those low memory messages? You can get that information from a MediaInfo properties readout or we could try to figure that out from the brand/model of your camera and its settings.
    http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
    We need to find out such things as video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, file extension, pixel aspect ratio, duration, etc.
    What is the description of your computer from the point of view of installed/available RAM and free hard drive space. Have you set up the Scratch Discs (Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks)? Is your computer optimized..defragmented...etc. Often a run through of ccleaner helps for computer optimization. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
    Have you used other versions of Premiere Elements or is Premiere Elements 11 your first experience with any very of Premiere Elements?
    What is your intended export for the Timeline content that you are building?
    Let us start here and then we can decide what next.
    We will watch for your details and then we will troubleshooting strategy based on you report.
    Thanks.

  • Running VERY slowly, software quitting unexpectedly...

    Hi,
    A couple of days ago my MBP started running very slowly – everything from opening an app to surfing the net. I put the slow internet down to an issue with my internet tethering (via iPhone 4), but then everything else started going wrong…
    I was trying to update Skype from version 2.x to version 5, but the download never completed; I had also been in the process of downloading a few podcasts, but had paused these transfers to try and speed up the Skype download.
    Then I kept receiving error messages that were saying that Firefox had ‘quit unexpectedly’, and then the same happened with error messages for Skype. I tried reporting these issues, reopening the app, and ignoring the issue, but nothing happened. Now I have uninstalled Skype.
    I then noticed that my shortcut bar wouldn’t appear properly when I moved my cursor to the bottom of the screen, although it would pop up maybe 15-30 seconds later. Trying to open a Finder window, or clicking on a shortcut would take forever for the action to complete, and now iTunes and Firefox wont open at all.
    I have started backing things up to an external hdd, and this takes forever too – it took all night to update my Aperture 3 Vault, and I was told it would take >90 hours to backup iTunes. With my iTunes backup, it actually stops midway through the process because of some issue with an iPhone app (Urbanspoon). Once I have everything backed up, I guess I’ll need to reinstall OSX, but would like to avoid doing that if I can – especially as my hdd is starting to overheat from all the work it is doing (and the fact that all backups are taking so long!). The last thing I want is my external hdd to crash and lose my backups! I left the MBP this morning whilst it was running the Repair Disk element in Disk Utility, and I have just read about Hardware Test, which I will try after work.
    My research has suggested that this issue could be due to a memory issue, RAM or hdd overload, or even a failing hdd. Either way, it’s very disappointing as I’ve only had the machine since Dec 2010.
    I am running Snow Leopard, and am up-to-date with all system updates, and would be very grateful for any suggestions.
    Thanks.

    If it's not functioning the way it was intended then take it to an Apple store or AASP. You are under warranty.

  • Photoshop running very slowly

    Hi guys
    I have a big problem with my photoshop on my windows pc.
    Its running very slowly even if I try to rotate a normal picture or paint a simple line. Its lagging hard and not running smoth.
    My setup:
    Windows 7 x64
    CPU: AMD A10 Series A10-6800K (4x 4,1ghz)
    RAM: 8gb
    graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 (2gb RAM)
    OS + PS is installed on a 256gb SSD (50% free space)
    What can I do to make PS running faster?

    These days 8 GB of RAM is considered the bare minimum.  You have woefully too little SSD space left to accomodate both the OS swap files and the Photoshop scratch file.
    The rule of thumb I follow to figure out scratch space says to figure on 50 to 100 times the size of your largest file ever multiplied by the number of files you have open.  I have seen the scratch file exceed 800 GB once, an admittedly rare occurrence, but it often exceeds 200 GB when stitching large panoramas and the like.
    As an example—and stressing that I'm aware that others have even more scratch space than I do—I keep two dedicated, physically separate hard drives as my primary and secondary Photoshop scratch disks and a lot of GB free on my boot drive for the OS.  I also have 16 GB of RAM installed.
    Additionally, if you only have a single HD, i.e. your boot drive, you'd need it to be large enough to accommodate both the swap files of the OS as well as Photoshop's scratch.

  • Deleting "Prompt User" dialog causes VI to lock PC or run very slowly.

    I have been coding a VI in LabVIEW 8.2.1 for several weeks and had to go back and remove some "Prompt User" dialog boxes.  After removing them, the VI would cause my PC to become unresponsive.  In an attempt to isolate the problem, I started to remove sections of code and discovered that there is a single dialog that seems to be causing this issue. 
    The VI runs fine with the dialog left in, but causes problems when removed.  Even if the dialog is logically impossible to enable, it still runs fine.  I currently have the VI set to run at a high priority because timing is critical for this application.  Lowering the priority seems to alleviate the issue, but I would rather not do this. 
    I am not sure how to proceed from this point, and I had trouble finding a similar issue in the forums.   Perhaps this problem is specific to my PC.  I would appreciate any feedback.
    I have attached the VI with this post.  I have removed almost all functionality from the VI but it still demonstrates the problem .  This version does not lock the computer, but does cause it to run very slowly when it misbehaves. 
    If you need any more information, let me know.

    The reason probably has to do with you having a loop that is set to run at full speed.  This can hog processor time.  Insert a "Wait.vi" or a "Wait until next ms multiple.vi" inside your while loop and wire in a value of 10 ms and see if the problem goes away.  Even wiring in a value of 0 or 1 ms might do the trick.  If your vi is meant to react only to user input, you could even put in a wait of 100 or 200 ms, and the user will not notice it.  This way your processor will have lots of time to run other tasks or applications.
    By the way, your vi did not slow down on my system, but that is probably because it is a multiprocessor system.

  • Mac is running very slowly.

    Hi Apple Community,
    My mac has been running very slowly, and there has been several other problems as well. I have a early 2009 iMac, running OS X 10.9.5. First of all, I have recently moved all of my photos and music to an external hard drive to clear up the internal hard drive, and Time Machine is also backing up to an external hard drive, and the internal hard drive is now about 60% free. I thought that would be able to get my Mac to run quicker, but it is still has slow as it was before. I have read recent community posts on what to do about this, one suggested downloading Etresoft to get a report on the condition of my mac. I ran Etresoft (I honestly don't know what to make of anything in the report), and the report is here:
    Problem description:
    Mac runs very slowly, applications will take longer than usual to open. Internal hard drive is about 60% full, and 3 external hard drives are used to hold photos, music, and backups.
    EtreCheck version: 2.1.5 (108)

    So if someone could please explain what this means, or suggest some other ways to find out what is wrong with my Mac, it would be extremely helpful.
    Thanks
    Morgan

    You need to uninstall all Norton Antivirus softwarwe/ utilities.
    https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080427024142EN_En dUserProfile_en_us
    Also, uninstall all Seagate hard drive software.
    In addition, you need to install more RAM into your iMac.
    Your year and model IMac can take a max. total of 8 GBs of RAM.
    I strongly recommend that you purchase and install the maximum amount of RAM.
    Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can ONLY be purchased from online RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).

  • My MacBook Pro is running very slowly! Please help!

    Hi all, as of late last year my MacBook Pro started running very slowly. As I'm a novice when it comes to computers I thought I'd turn to the interweb for solutions. I've tried a couple of basic things but don't seem to be getting anywhere.I ran the EtreCheck program as it seemed to help others. Would love some help interpreting this...

    Thanks in advance! Mike

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. It will be slow, but there should be no beachballing. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • FCPX hangs on loading event in boot up, but when it does boot it runs very slowly.

    I'm having a problem with FCP 10.0.9
    When I try to open the program it gets hung up on the opening logo at loading event. I get a message that FCP is not responding in the force quit menu,  but after around 6 hours FCPX opens up, but runs very slowly. I can see all of my projects and everything appears to be intact.
    I'd like for FCPX to run smoothly again so I am looking for advice on how to fix it.
    Here is some pertinent information.
    I'm working on an 2.93 GHz intel core 7 iMac / 16GB memory / ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB / OS 10.7.5
    Everything is on an external 12tb Raid drive that has 5.7 TB free and is connected via Firewire 800.
    The footage has been going into FCP is Arri Alexa footage that has been transcoded using Devinci resolve and proxies were created for all the footage within fcp.
    My event folder is around 600 gb and the transcoded footage that has been imported into FCP is around 6TB
    I've been working for about 3 weeks and have everything broken into 4 projects within one event and everything was working smoothly until yesterday.
    I have no compound clips, but all of my imported footage has been synced, multicam-ed and organized by keyword collections.
    I've tried loading the even backup to no avail (and foolishly I did not have backups stored anywhere else)
    I've tried trashing preferences.
    I've tried reinstalling the program.
    I've tried hiding events and projects with Event Manager X.
    I've tried running diagnostics using the digital rebellion pro maintenance tools Corrupt Clip Finder, Project repair, and Quick Fix but everything came back clean.
    One person at Apple technical support suggested I move the footage out of my event folder In pieces to see if there was a corrupt clip. First I removed the proxies and then the original media and then everything else (including all render data) until the only thing in the even folder was the event itself, but still FCP hung up on boot up.
    Another apple technical support person suggested I should have optimized my media (which I did not do) but after getting FCP to boot up I let it optimize all my media overnight and this has not had any significant effect.
    My console displays lots of error messages end with "Too many SQL Variables"
    Another error message I am getting in console is: 
    Class CMIOGraphService is implemented in both /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreMediaIO.framework/Versions/A/CoreMediaIO and /Applications/Final Cut Pro.app/Contents/Frameworks/CoreMediaLion/CoreMediaIO.framework/Versions/Curren t/CoreMediaIO. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
    When I hide the event but keep the projects in their proper place FCP boots up quickly and my projects are all there but none of the footage appears since it is all within my event.
    One thing I am reluctant to try but may end up doing if I cannot find the correct answer from this internet community is Export and XML and use Xto7 to try to open it up in FCP7 and finish the project there. This feels like something that is going to cause me problems down the road, but I'm unsure.
    As is almost always the case, I'm under an impossibly tight deadline so any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Quite the same problem here: FCP X (10.0.9) crashed while quitting, now it's always hanging up (opening logo freezes while displaying "loading .... event"). The Console says: "SQLite error code:1, 'too many SQL variables'".
    The difference maybe is that my event isn't that big. 350 GB, including the original and transcoded media. The fcpevent file itself is about 340 MB. Unfortunately (my fault!) I didn't backup any of the .fcpevent files.
    Is there any possibility to repair the .fcpevent file? I tested the repair tool by digital rebellion, but still no success. Are there any other ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Yosemite running very slowly on new MacBook Pro

    I just bought a new 13" MacBook Pro (not Retina) last month.  When I set it up I copied the data and apps from my 2006 MacBook running Snow Leopard.  When I try to open apps such as Safari or jEdit or Adobe Reader or NeoOffice it seems to wait forever (or at least 30 seconds) to open them.  I thought this would be faster than Snow Leopard, but it's not!
    Should I just back this all up with my SuperDuper and start over?
    Here are my Etrecheck data:

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    One of the myths that circulate on this site is the myth that the current version of OS X always needs to more than 4 GB of memory to run well. The myth is based on nothing except the fact that some people keep repeating it. Apple is today selling new Macs with 4 GB of memory that can never be upgraded after they leave the factory. Those Macs come with Yosemite preinstalled, and it can never be downgraded to an older version. So if you were to believe the myth, you would also believe that Apple knows that it's selling products that are permanently crippled right out of the box, no matter how they're used. Read this discussion before you spend money on memory that you may not need.
    Some users do need more than 4 GB of memory for full performance. They are running memory-intensive applications, such as photo or video editors, or they're running many programs concurrently, or they have more than one account logged in at the same time. Whether you're one of those users can be determined, in part, by observing the level of memory pressure in the Memory tab of the Activity Monitor window. If the memory pressure graph always stays in the green zone, then a shortage of memory is not causing the problem.
    Even if memory pressure is high, that doesn't necessarily mean that adding more memory will help. If one or more processes has a memory leak—a kind of bug—then adding memory, no matter how much, won't help. It will merely delay the onset of the problem, perhaps only by a few minutes or less. That is very likely the case if you already have more than 4 GB.
