Premiere Pro CC 2019 not responding

Just a few notes here that might help and be careful if you allow adobe external support direct access as they did change things such as Open CL instead of CUDA even tho I am on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 and 1070 on another machine.

1, Uninstall all apps and clean out all saved preferences.

2. Stop using and uninstall any apps or programmes that you dont use or need.

3. Install new PP19 and encoder.

4. Make sure  PP is on C drive and files on another say E drive and that E drive has at least 30% headroom.

5. If possible have a 3rd drive SSD maybe 120 gb (NAME SSD TEMP) for all temp and cache files. On this drive create Media Cache and Scratch Media files.

6. Go to File, Project settings and change all scratch disk save features to the SSD TEMP / Scratch Media file, there are seven that you save all to same place. This feature you need to set every time you create a new project.

7. Clean out all tem files search %temp% and delete all temp files, dont worry these will re build in your new SSD TEMP. Also clean out %AppData% Adobe, Common / Media Cache and Scratch Media by deleting all files, dont worry these will rebuild in SSD TEMP.

8. Turn off Auto Save and rememeber to save regular.

9. Go to edit, Preferences and Media Cache, Change save Media Cache to SSD TEMP Media Cache and Media Cache database to SSD TEMP Media Cache.

Save and Close File with complete new project name and equally delete all associated PP files like auto save but better still archive everything before you start this just incase you have to go back some steps. 

10 The we hace C drive with all programmes and apps, E drive with all files with space, SSD Temp files for all temp and fast required preview files.

11. Open project and marke start and end of project with in and out, go to Sequence and Render In and Out. Then Render audio. These will go to SSD TEMP drive, befere you do this the project blue bar at the bottom right will be generating audio temp files in both SSD temp and C drive AppData. 

Here is a YT on hard drives https://youtu.be/r7zI7MYSY_0

Basically in an ideal world we should not update mid or part way through a project however I have been filming this TV doc for almost 3 years and editing through upgrades. 

It also helps that your CPU and GPU are balanced and that the most PP operations are CPU based so say 9% usage and GPU 2-3% but GPU will need to increase when something faster is required like render or export, get to know your usage in %task%. Memory you want it about 40-60% with headroom. So if you think of it like this, You downloaded ne update, it does not get on with bits of say 2-3 updates, it needs to start  a fresh, so to do this we have to break all ties and start the links again to all drives and storage. 

#Remember #Back-up # Back-up before doing and make sure you take a 2nd back up of your clean new version and dont mix old back up with new back up or the old links will struggle with each other. 

Before I did all this I was constantly suffering CEP HTML engine shut down, NOW REMEMBER, doing part of this wont help, doing everything right and cleaning out all old links to previous versions will work but the hard drive structure is key.

Have you tried my suggestions?
