I'm not sure, but I think deleting the Encoded Files is not a problem.  So, I tried it.  I deleted the contents and then reopend two projects.  The contents of Encoded Files was recreated for both projects.     Be sure you have backups, but then try it on your own system.   ... View more

The .prel files are stored where you tell it to store them when you start and name a new project.   Someone may have to correct me, but I think encoded files are temporary preview files that make the working process of editing function.   ... View more

Yes, it was a point release.  But, unlike most point releases, something changed that required the .lrcat file to be updated.   My guess is that with 200,000 files it might be busy updating previews.  Another guess is that facial recognition is updating.   Have you tried an online chat with Adobe techs?    ...

I have the same issue.  Adobe Premiere Elements 2023 on a new (empty) - Imac 27" Retina 2020 - intel CPU i5 3,3Ghz - 16GB Ram - AMD Radeon Pro 5300 4GB - OS Sonoma 14.5 The program is running really slow. Same problem; response time is very slow. It is not useable.   The application on my less powerfull laptop with a m1 chip runs much fast...     why? By @El-Ekim   Why?  Without knowing more, I have to do some guessing.   The first is that your computer with the i5 is not nearly as capable for video editing as the laptop with the M1.   My second guess is that you may be editing advanced footage from a source like a phone.   Good editing of "4K" footage on an Intel computer usually requires an i7 or i9 CPU coupled with a big and "fast" SSD.    My third guess is that there may be some Premiere Elements settings on the i5 computer that need changing.   ...

Without listing technical details, Premiere Elements outputs a universal and "standard" video file.   It does not matter if you use "TV" or "Computer" for output settings.  They both use the standard H.264 codec.  Because of the 4K, the files are very large.     Without knowing more, my guess is that some part of your system can't keep up with the large file size.   It may be your home network's capacity.   Current versions of Windows and current TVs include "casting" connections that are direct from computer to TV.    Basically, "casting" makes a mirror of you computer screen on your TV.   Have you tried the "casting" capability of your computer? ...

Hoping to build on Bob's suggestion, you can also change some settings.  Try changing the Timeline Render Quality in General Preferences.   On the same page, you can try changing Hardware Acceleration and use of the GPU.   Another possibility is that your timeline preview needs to be "rendered".   This may be necessary if your timeline editing becomes complex or your source footage does not match your project settings. ...

Re-reading your posts, it is not clear what you are doing.  This is the Premiere Elements video editing forum.  You mention that the Organizer is you primary use.  You also mention that "pictures" are missing.  I'm confused!    Based on my personal experience and this Premiere Elements forum, my best guess is that you have some sort of hardware issue.   Have you tried changing the GPU settings in General Preferences?  Have you tried changing the "render quality" in General Preferences.    I asked about how long you've owned it because with direct purchases from Adobe, there is a 30 day, full return policy.     ...

The newest versions of Generative Fill in Photoshop make that easy.  Draw a lasso around the bright spot and let AI figure it out.   With most of the work done by Photoshop, a little exposure adjustment with a Lightroom Classic brush finished it.   Start to finish was about 5 minutes.      ...

I may be misunderstanding the question.  The Adobe "photography plan" is one of the many Creative Cloud plans.   I assume it is through your photography plan that you tried the Beta with the AI in it.  To end the Beta, use your photography plan in the Crative Cloud app to delete it.    If it is not the Photoshop Beta, what trial are you using?   ...

I may not understand the question.    If it were me and I had to do it your way, I would use the import selection screen.  The primary file names of the RAW and JPEGs should match.  When you import the RAW, use the uncheck all box at the bottom.  Then use a list of the JPEGs to check mark RAWs you want imported.   ...

Even though you may never get an answer you like, you deserve one!   Few, if any, that control development show up here.  Instead, it is primarily users trying to help other users.      My view (and guess) is that Adobe targets the Elements products at simplicity.   The last two annual updates included "streamlining" for faster installation and reduced use of disc space.   Adding an Encoder would move towards Premiere Pro territory and, in my view, is not at all likely to be included in the Elements suit. ...

This comes up frequently on another forum I follow.   Some say they get it to work and others say it does not work so well.   The key seems to be having the latest 6.14 installation file that was provided to you years ago.  If you don't have it, you can't get it from Adobe anymore.    Note that version 6 really is "dead".   There have been so many improvements, new tools and value put into the "Photographer's Plans" that it might be a good for your photography to accept the new subscription system. ...
