Hi Guys,
I'm so glad to have found this forum. Love watching Steve's great training videos.
Ok so here's the scoop... I've been using Premiere Elements since version 7. I know my way around it pretty well. I've created almost 200 DVDs.
Fast forward to today. I have version 14 and my system is way more than equipped to handle it...
quad core processor
24 gigs RAM
solid state 1 TB C drive with 184 gig free space
1 TB additional drive set as scratch disk
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 video card with 8 gig RAM onboard the card
64 bit operating system
Windows 7 Professional
Elements 14 is installed and has latest available updates etc.
I just dropped almost $3,000 to update my video machine just so I could enjoy what I thought would be lighting fast speeds. I was really excited to play with the software and edit some projects etc. That was until I tried to use it. It's extremely slow. I'm talking 30 minutes or more just to render timeline of a 10 minute video. The timeline is very choppy. I've played with setting of draft versus high quality render. I would assume with my specs I should be able to enjoy the high quality render.
I also grabbed a new 4K video camera... Sony FDR-AX53. I shoot in 4K 60p.
I've run Ccleaner to clean up all temp files as well as registry etc. Everything is clean.
I use a 512 gig Extreme Pro card by SanDisk to record to and then transfer video to my machine.
I would greatly appreciate any and all help to resolve these issues so I can start enjoying myself and get back to creating some awesome video!
