PP Pauses loading for a while then continues

When I load a particular project, it pauses loading about 75 percent of the way for about 5 minutes, then finishes. I've blown out media cache and media cache files and peak files. I've also reinstalled PP with the latest version, 24.1. It's an hour and half documentary with a lot of media so it's a pretty big PP file, about 48MBs.

Of course make copies of things, the project, etc... But you could try creating a new project in the current folder and IMPORT the problem project, see if that helps.


Problem solved. I have two projects with this issue. I solved it by essentially thinning out the project.

Both of these are very large projects with a lot of media and sequence lengths from 45 minutes in one project to 90 plus minues in the other. Every day, I copy the sequence I'm working on and save the previous day in an archive folder. The sequences have been adding up for months creating a bloated project. By deleting the archive sequences and saving the project as as a thinned out version, I essentially brought the project size down to 15MB files from 40 to 50MB.  The projects now open much faster. Problem solved. Thanks for all the above help.

What are the hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, what capacity, and how full)?

HDDs or SSDs?

Is that a network drive?
