Premiere Elements 2022 Freezes Almost Constantly

Hi - I am using Premiere Elements 2022 and it freezes with almost anything I try to do on it. I was previously using Elements 14. I'm guessing the problem is probably is that my processor is an i3 and not an i6 or above like the specs say. However, this is the first time I'm trying to use the 2022 version. Will it improve as I use the program? Is there anything I can do to improve the performance of Premiere Elements 2022 (short of a computer upgrade)? Thanks for your time and help!

There are some settings in Preferences > General that might make a difference. Change them to whatever they are not!

I'm with John. There's something something wrong somewhere. It's possible your i3 can't handle the program -- but the program, doing something as editing a few photos, should not choke so easily. Especially if you were able to edit video with version 14, which isn't that much different of a program.

Assuming you're on Windows 10, open Settings and look under System/About. That should give you detailed information on your processor and RAM and Operating System and version. Share that with us as well as the other information John asked for.

In some cases on this forum the solution to this has an audio setting. For some reason, audio processing can overload and bring the project to a crawl. Try setting the Default Audio Input to "No Input".

It could be that it's too much for an i3 processor. But it could also be something else.

What happens if you open a new project and add five or six photos to it? Does the program constant freeze then?

Hi - Thank you for your reply. I tried closing the program and adding six photos to it. The photos imported quickly but when I went to drag a photo to the work space it froze on me. Is there anything else I should try? Thanks.

What is the pixel size of the photos?
