Hate to say it, but that is a rather old and low-capability computer. At some point, you will have to get newer and better gear. This app is built for more robust and newer gear. And with each release, is less suited for the older stuff. Although for such a long startup, I do wonder how much space is available on disc on that machine.
Thanks for the response Neil. Could you offer specifics on what exactly it falls short on capability-wise? I'm asking because I thought 16gb ram would be powerful enough. The rest of it I honestly do not understand... just a bunch of numbers and letters that seem like proprietary made up jargon.
Is 16gb RAM a small amount these days? Does it get "old"
What processor do I need?
Should I install a SSD
Yenaphe,
I have no 3rd party effects on top of it. I just upgraded to High Sierra 10.13.6 and have the latest from Premiere CC. I think my computer may have been freaked out by all the changes and new challenges.
When I launched Premiere I think it got held up on some quicktime thing it was trying to load. The last 3 launches have been within a minute. Not that that's fast but I could install a SSD
SSD for projects would be a big boost for that rig. And yea, sounds like it was involved with an issue that one startup. PrPro can occasionally do something that seems odd while it sort itself out.
The gentleman's computer who started this thread is just fine and this has nothing to do with any of that. I'm in a work evenironment where it's the same across all systems - i7, i9 16, 64 gb of ram. This is I believe a cache issue.
I get the same problem with my first load in the morning - the first load of my main project takes about 8 min to load. But then if I restart Premiere after a crash or what have you, it loads up in about a minute. I'd like it to load up quick like that all the time. If we try to then open that same project on another system, again it takes 8 min on the first load.
If somebody who actually knows the answer or somebody from Adobe could respond it would be most appreciated.
And I encounter this same problem - I recently had to re-install an older version of Premiere Pro, in order to open up and older project file that Premiere Pro 2020 told me was not compatible with that newer version.
So I installed 2019, and upon start up it took ages and ages and ages to load... it's the plugins loading... so slow... in fact as I write this note, it's still loading... the whole reason I found this thread, was attempting to solve this problem now, in real time!
Doesn't sound like Adobe has any answer to this problem that many of us are experiencing.
