Adobe Premiere Elements 2013 relinking render files

Hi, I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 2013. I've been renderig a large project in batches to avoid over heating my computer. I.E. Render ten hours of footage, save, shut down & wait till the next day. I've now done this for 20 hours worth of footage, & as I'm in the middle of hours 20-30 my drive becomes disconected. I quickly quit out of Premiere knowing that I've lost what was in progress, but can accept that. However when I log back on after reconnecting, it shows I have to rerender EVERYTHING. Even stuff that had been saved previous days. I have on my external hard drive Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files which is 264.4 GBS so I know the render files are there still. Now I need help on how to reconnect them so I don't have to waste all this time/computer power again. Please help me.

Thanks

Are you saying you're rendering a 10-20 hour long movie as a single video file? Not to be snarky, but what is the advantage of doing this rather than outputting a series of videos at a more watchable length?

It's a giant project of 100s of videos that are not labeld & some are duplicates. I'm going to narrow it down to one three hour video, but I need to see everything in one timeline to know what goes where. To you this may not make sense, but to the overall project & how my mind can process info, this is what works.

Sorry, Andrew, but I think working this way tends toward failure. It's not the program or your operating system or your computer is buggy. It's just that when you're working with this kind of media load, even the slightest hiccup brings the whole thing crashing down. Not even Hollywood movies are edited on one huge timeline!

 

So if you're determined to edit hundreds of videos onto a 20 hour timeline, I'm not sure what to recommend. Maybe another user can offer some input.

 

BTW, I've never heard of Premiere Elements 2013. Versions of the program weren't named after their release year until 2109. Prior to that they were versions -- version 11, 12, 13, etc. Can you confirm you're using Premiere Elements and not Premiere Pro?
