File saving whilst creating video

I notice that when I adjust/edit images etc, a copy is placed into Organiser which I do not want to occur. All videos, images, screen clips etc that I use in Premiere Elements 2023 are copies of originals stored elsewhere in my pc ... I do not want to modify the originals.

 

What is the setting so that Organiser does not store these edits. I should add that these basic edits are made within Premiere and (as yet) not in Elements.

Correct answer RonSH

Unwatching that folder should do it.  I think Organizer is a good application.  I would probably be useing it if I was not happily using Lightroom Classic to keep my image files organized.  


I also consider Organiser to be good. 

I have 'unwatched' file and also created individual shortcuts on desktop to each of the 3 2023 programmes. If Organiser continues to insist on collecting images without 'my permission' then I guess I am defeated!

Try Edit > Preferences > Media Analysis and uncheck everything.

Thanks Bill. I didn't have much 'checked' in Media Analysis but have unchecked what was left and will see the result. I guess that the edited (copy) images can be deleted without effecting the original file? Maybe they are somehow associated with the image edit files held in a video project so maybe best to leave until I delete the video edit files?

Organizer is not connected to Premiere Elements like that.  Organizer is independent of Premiere Elements and does its work searching for "new" files in the background.  I don't use it and keep it "off".  I've used Lightroom Classic to keep track of my photo and video files.
