Using Premiere Elements 2019 I usually create projects with a prel file size of 400 KB. However, last year I created a projects with a prel file of 55 MB, and I don't know why.

I really don't understand what I did differently, but this large file results in long waiting times when loading or saving the project.

To investigate the cause of this large prel file, I copied the project and removed all video and audio clips from this copied project. It didn't make any sense. The empty project still has an enormous prel file size.

Can someone explain what causes the huge size of this prel file and how I can solve this?

Data from Stabilize footage can make a project huge.

Thanks for your reply Ann. But what is the data in my project if all clips have been removed? Yesterday I removed all media cache and preview files and still the project file is 55 MB...

Media cache and preview files are not stored in the project file..

Do you use stabilizer a lot?

There are effects that can blot a project.
