Optimize hard disks by defragmenting them, updating their drivers, and configuring the disk drives to improve playback speed and performance in Adobe Premiere Elements. For further assistance with these tasks, contact the hardware manufacturer or an authorized repair service facility.
- Defragment hard disks by running the Disk Defragmenter utility included with Windows or a third-party disk utility, such as Symantec Norton Utilities. If you use external (non-system) disks for video, you can reformat them instead. Formatting erases all information on the disk. For instructions, see Windows Help or the documentation for the utility.
- Update disk drivers to ensure that they aren't damaged or incompatible with the system. If a disk was formatted with a third-party disk utility, use the third-party disk utility for this procedure. For instructions, see the documentation that came with the utility.
- Enable write-caching for the hard disk:
Some of the best VST plugins are free, and for the ones that aren't, you can find free alternatives that work just fine.
1. Search Device Manager in the search bar.
2. Click the plus sign (+) beside Disk Drives.
3. Double-click the hard-disk drive.
- Premiere Pro is a tool for professional video editing, allowing you to capture, edit, and deliver virtually any format, from DV to uncompres.
- It is actually possible to insert text and images using Flash plugins. You can add fade-in and fade-out transitions to your videos using Transitions VST. When you use these plugins, you will be able to create impressive transitions to give a nice visual effect to your clips.
4. In the Disk Device Properties dialog box, click the Policies tab.
5. Select Enable Write Caching on the Disk.
- If you use multiple IDE (or EIDE) disks for video-editing, connect them to the secondary controller. Because it's necessary that the system is connected to the primary controller, connect all devices other than the IDE disks to the primary controller. If only IDE disks are connected to the secondary controller, data is transferred at a single, optimum rate. When other, slower devices are connected to the same controller, data rates conform to the maximum rates allowed by the slower devices. They are typically slower than the data rates for video-editing hard disks. For instructions to connect disks to a controller, see the documentation included with the computer.
Adobe Premiere Pro is a timeline-based video editing software application. It is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud, which includes video editing, graphic design, and web development programs. Adobe Premiere Pro provides support for several file formats, making your post-production workflows compatible with the latest broadcast formats.

About file formats
Some filename extensions - such as MOV, AVI, MXF, and F4V - denote container file formats rather than denoting a specific audio, video, or image data format. Container files can contain data encoded using various compression and encoding schemes. Premiere Pro can import these container files, but the ability to import the data that they contain is dependent on the codecs (specifically, decoders) installed.
By installing additional codecs, you can extend the ability of Premiere Pro to import additional file types. Many codecs installed into the operating system (Windows or Mac OS) work as a component inside the QuickTime or Video for Windows formats. Contact the manufacturer of your hardware or software for more information about codecs that work with the files that your specific devices or applications create.
Note: Video and still-image files that you want to import must not be more than the maximum dimensions allowed. For more information on maximum dimensions in Premiere Pro, see the Premiere Pro Work Area blog.
Why can't Premiere Pro import my file?
If you're trying to import a file into Premiere Pro, and Premiere Pro is telling you that it can't import that file, this could be for a few different reasons. And there are three most common reasons that you might not be able to import a file into Premiere Pro.
1. You might be running the trial version of Premiere Pro CS6 or earlier. Note that Premiere Pro CC doesn't have these limitations on the the trial version.
2. You might be trying to import a file of a format that Premiere Pro doesn't import, so check the file for format supported for import, to see if your file is listed.
3, If you're trying to import a file, in a container that Premium Pro does support, it may be that codec used in that container file, is not one that Premium Pro can import.
Possible Solutions:
Install Necessary Codecs
In many cases you can install a codec to give Premiere Pro the ability to import, the container file, with that codec. There are various free utilities that can tell you what kind of a codec is used inside of a file, one of them is called GSpot, and another is called Media Info. So if you can't import a file into Premier Pro check these things first.
Convert Files
If you are certain that your operating system has all the necessary codecs installed, but you still cannot open or import the file, try converting the video to another file format and then opening the clip in Premiere Pro. According to my experience, the editing-friendly file format for the Premiere Pro application is MPEG-2. However, the program supports nearly every video file format. EaseFab Video Converter Ultimate (available for Windows and Mac users) offers an easy way to convert any file you may have into an optimized MPEG-2 codec that Premiere can use quickly and efficiently, and is a great tool to have alongside premiere if you commonly work with multiple file types.
