spinning wheel [was :Re: spinning wheel everytime I add a motion title]

[2LloydP]

I have a spinning wheel so often as to render Premier Elements 19 almost useless. Having that problem with PE 18 on a MacBook led me to upgrade to a Macbook Pro and to Premier Elements 19.

. .  .

If I am persistent I can get video editing done, but I have to do a force quit of Organizer, then start over, working until i am again thwarted by the spinning wheel.

. . .

I've accumulated quite a bit of time with Adobe and Apple, not to mention spending $2000 for the MacBook Pro to replace the two year old MacBook.

. . .

This happens as I add video content that I have selected in Photoshop Elements Organizer 20`19 to Premier Elements 2019.

2loydp,

In preferences, turn off Hardware acceleration and be sure that Audio Hardware has Default Input set to None.

It required some investigation to learn the "Hardware Acceleration" is found as a Chrome setting .. advanced. I guess that is the one you mean. However, so far I have not found the "Audio Hardware" setting.

I'll do some work with your first suggestion implemented.

Thank you

No, its a Premiere Elements setting, not a Chrome setting.

3. Switch the GPU playback option.

Note: This option is not available in Adobe Premiere Elements 9.0 or later.
Adobe Premiere Elements is designed to take advantage of display cards with accelerated GPUs. If you are having playback issues, make sure that you use the correct GPU playback mode that corresponds with your display card.
Enable GPU Playback: The setting if you have a GPU-accelerated display card.
Disable GPU Playback: The setting offers the lowest performance but is appropriate for display cards that do not fully support Direct 3D
To switch the Desktop Display Mode, do the following:

• Choose Edit > Preferences > General.

• Select the appropriate option for GPU playback and click OK.

• Click OK to close the Project Settings window.

It is the 2018 version of elements.

My former Mac was a solid machine. FCP works great on it. Premier has had constant issues .
