If you&#8217;re on a Mac, simply open up <strong>Premiere<\/strong> <strong>Pro<\/strong> and go to <strong>Premiere<\/strong> > Preferences > Media Cache. If you&#8217;re on a PC, simply go to Edit > Preferences > Media <strong>Cache<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, how do I refresh the cache in <strong>Premiere<\/strong> Pro? When debugging, you can always force a reload of all the plug-ins by holding down the Shift key when launching Premiere <strong>Pro<\/strong>. If your effect needs to be reloaded each time, there is a way to disable this caching. The plug-in can use the PF Cache On Load Suite in AE_CacheOnLoadSuite.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open Premiere Pro, but do not open a project.<\/li>\n<li>Go to &#8220;Edit -> Preferences -> Media <strong>Cache<\/strong>&#8220;<\/li>\n<li>Under &#8220;Media Cache Files&#8221;, click on &#8220;Delete&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Choose to either delete unused media cache files, or all cache files.  <\/li>\n<li>Click &#8220;OK&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Why does Premiere Pro lag?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Playback lag in Premiere Pro is a performance issue and is usually a sign that your computer may not have the right specs to handle editing high-resolution videos. It could also mean that Premiere Pro is dropping frames during the playback.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What happens if I delete media cache files?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Hi Peter, those files are created by Premiere for every project you have, if you delete them, the next time you open each project the files are generated again.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I make Premiere Pro run faster?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Enable GPU Previewing.  <\/li>\n<li>Point Media Cache to Different Drive from OS.  <\/li>\n<li>Decrease Preview Resolution if Necessary.  <\/li>\n<li>Disable Clips When Not In Use.  <\/li>\n<li>Edit in a Sequence that Matches Your Footage Settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why is Premiere Pro not responding?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Force quit and restart Premiere Pro or restart your computer to resolve a system issue. Backup and reset your preferences. Check if your System Compatibility Report is throwing any errors. Your report will indicate if you have any driver issues, and if you need to update your drivers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I clear media cache in Premiere Elements?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>To truly dump the Media Cache, you have to do it the old-fashioned way &#8211; manually. First, quit Premiere. Then, in the Common folder, highlight Media Cache, Media Cache Files, and Peak files (if it&#8217;s there), and delete them. That&#8217;s it!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I delete old projects in Premiere?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Open the project. In the Tasks panel, click Edit and then click Project. Select one or more files. Press Ctrl+Delete.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I clear Adobe cache on Mac?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Choose File > Close All Projects, then choose Preferences > Media Cache and choose to delete all media cache.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I clear adobe media encoder cache?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>To manually remove the conformed files and index files, navigate to the media cache folder and delete the files. The location of the media cache folder is shown in the Media preferences. If the path is truncated, click the Browse button to show the path.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What are peak files in Premiere?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The peak files are small pictures of the waveform, which makes it easier to edit visually. By default, Premiere will scan a file on import and generate the peak file. It will then cache that file so it can be used again and agin in multiple projects. That is part of the function of the Media Cache database.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What is a cache and what does it do?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>A cache &#8212; pronounced CASH &#8212; is hardware or software that is used to store something, usually data, temporarily in a computing environment. It is a small amount of faster, more expensive memory used to improve the performance of recently or frequently accessed data.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open Premiere Pro.
