Specific to Premiere Elements version 14
by Steve Grisetti » Wed Oct 11, 2017 4:06 pm
Well, I can't guarantee it's a fix. But it definitely improves things.
I'm also experimenting with moving the Media Cache to my F drive rather than my C, but so far it's not a big boost. I've also been experimenting with manually deleting ALL media cache files so that the program must re-produce them. Again, some small gains. But something is definitely odd about how the program handles some source file formats -- even if it matches project settings to them.

Go to C\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Peak Files (you'll need to enable Show All Files in your Explorer/Folder Options to see these files) and delete the .pek files for your video clips. This will force the program to recreate them when you next re-open your project.
I just stumbled onto the post, don't know how it got by me, but thanks. The problem is that I didn't find any .pek files in the "Common" folder, and I had the "Hidden items" checked in Explorer otherwise I believe AppData would have been hidden.

That's strange. I don't know what to tell you, Mike. That's where my peak files are on Windows 10 Pro!

Not sure if this will help, but make sure to check "File name extensions" and go to your "Media Cache Files" folder.

The original post listed the path as AppData...Adobe/Common. When I opened the Media Cashe Files folder I found the .pek file. Should I remove ALL 127 for them? Thanks

This is a follow-up, an fyi.
I took my Surface Book into the MS Store last week and they told me that the problem I've been having was due to the fact that the battery in the tablet part of my SB was dead, and not charging. I was aware of this issue but it didn't appear to be a problem, except for the fact that the Tablet cannot be removed when the battery is dead and I didn't care about using the Tablet so I didn't attempt a fix.
The tech at the MS Store told me that the video functions were in the Tablet part of the computer and since the battery was dead it should be expected to that its functions would be compromised. He also told me that it could not be repaired and that I would have to purchase a replacement, which I am preparing to do after I've reset this unit. He also assured me that PrPro will run on this computer.
I will update this post when I have the replacement and have installed PrPro on it.

Me too, I want to get on with normal editing questions, that have answers!
I am taking my SB book in tomorrow for a replacement. I will then load Pr Pro onto it and take it for a spin. I'll let you know who it behaves.
