Making Your System Lean and Mean for AVCHD Editing with Adobe Premiere Elements
December 1, 2009
Recently I have been playing around with Adobe Premiere Elements. I have been trying to edit AVCHD files in Pre Elements. Though I have a Core 2 Quad and 4 GB memory, AVCHD + Premiere elements were stressing the system.
So I decided to get the machine to be lean and mean by disabling as many services and processes as possible. To this end, I used the following resources:
Creating multiple Hardware profiles with different services enabled/disabled
Deciding on which services to disable
I created a "Super Tweak" profile with all the unnecessary services disabled. In addition, I unchecked some of the entries from "Startup" in msconfig.
Speed up tricks from Black Viper
To top it all off, once the system booted up, I used EnditAll to stop any other useless stuff. By that I mean processes and services not required for Premiere Elements.
It would be a good idea to "EnditAll" your anti-virus software for the time you are using the system solely for AVCHD editing.
One issue that I faced was that my boot time suddenly seemed to increase. I was able to narrow it down to "Shell Hardware Detection" service. Disabling the service seem to increase the boot time considerably. So I left it enabled in my "Super Tweak" hardware profile.
Keep in mind that "FLEXnet Licensing Service" needs to be running for Adobe Premiere Elements to run.
