Premiere Elements - Video playing controls does not work and causes timeline to freeze

Whenever I click the Play-button on the video paying controls, the timeline freezes. Then, if I try to close without saving th project, Premiere Elements freeze.
Does anyone have a solution?

I attach screendump with my system data (in danish, but I think that it should be recognizable)
I have 243 GB free space in my C drive.

I also attach a small video displaying the process triggering the error.

Regards

Spelling error correction: "video paying" should be "video playing"

Which processor do you have and with how much RAM?

 

What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it?

 

If you start a new project and just add half a dozen photos to the timeline, do you have the same playback issues?

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90 GHz

RAM: 16 GB

Screen capure was made using Snagit version 11.2.0

Resolution on input video: 920 x 1080

Input video type: MP4

I made a test importing 5 random images from my images folder. That resulted in the same error.

The issue is the Snagit video, which is non-standard in its resolution, codecs and possibly its frame rate.

 

This is probably not the best software to use to edit this type of video.

Thanks for your reply Steve.

That makes kind of sense, but in the meantime I uninstalled Premiere Elements from that PC and installed it on my laptop instead. And that helped!

I think that maybe the the trouble migth have been the graphics card (GeForce RTX 2080 Super)?

My problem was different, but MAYBE similar

https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-elements/share-to-disc-freezes-program-win10-pre-2021-solved...

 

My solution was a different video driver, so you might try a newer or older driver

Do not count on Windows to be fully up to date when it comes to device drivers
Go to the vendor site to be sure you have an updated driver for your graphic adapter
•nVidia Driver Downloads http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
•ATI Driver https://www.amd.com/en/support
There are also intermittent reports that the newest driver is not always the best driver due to driver bugs or compatibility issues, so you MAY need to try an earlier driver version

Sorry but the input video is 48.9 MB. Is that too much?

The problem was never solved, and I ended up uninstalling Premiere Elements from that PC and intalling it on my laptop instead. That "solved" the problem.

Thanks for all replys ... an sorry for my getting frustrated.
