Hi,

I moved from version 2020 to 2022.

Opening of my project in with Premiere Elements 2020 took less than 30 seconds.

Opening the same project in with Premiere Elements 2022 takes about 5 minutes.

I am sure I have proper hardware (processor , RAM, SSD). OS is Windows 10

I would be happy if someone has an idea how to improve the loading performance.

Thank you.

      Can you please provide your project settings details (Aspect ratio, timebase, display format etc) and project size.

Are you opening the project you created in versino 2020 with version 2022? That could be the problem. Premiere Elements has never been completely backwards compatible, and opening a project created with an older version of the program can cause buggy behavior and even corruption.

 

Granted, that makes an apples to apples comparison much harder. But make sure both your new 2020 project and your new 2022 project use the same media -- and that they were both created in the programs you're opening them in.

 

Though I too have found version 2022 a bit sluggish compared to earlier versions. Slower to import media and slower to open. But not terribly so.

Thank you for fast your response. Sorry for answering late.

I understand your explanation.

When I moved to 2022 I did not change anything in the project or file locations at all. I only opened the project with the new version.

If I understand you correctly I must live with this performance leak from some seconds to some minutes.

No, Steve wrote, " a bit sluggish".   You are going from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.  That is a tenfold slowdown!  There is something wrong somewhere.  On my computer, I've found no difference.  But, I've not looked for it either.   

 

If it were me, I would initiate an online chat with Adobe techs and find what may be wrong.   https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
