I solved the problem, which is not an Adobe Premier Pro or Elements issue but a Mac issue, by disabling the Full Keyboard Access in System Settings >Accessibility >Keyboard.

Delete the Media Cache and Media Cache files:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.
from here:

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver)

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Check the Audio Hardware Preferences. Default Audio Input should be set to No Input.

If I delete preferences will I also lose my custom keyboard shortcuts?

Hello, 

 

I have - again - a problem with Premiere Pro. When I press my spacebar, the timeline doesn't stop immediatly. I tried to reset my preferences, change the Default Input (in the Audio section) and clean the Media Cache as I seen elsewhere but I still have that annoying thing. 

 

It's a shame to pay a fortune for a software that doesn't work, even with a new and very performing computer!!

 

I hope someone will help me...
