Sorry if I wasn't clear. It's not the RAM usage that bothers me during use. This happens when I'm NOT using the software. It's closed.

<p>Premiere keeps running in the background, eating up a lot of RAM, but I can't figure out why. I have to keep manually stopping it.</p>

<p>In addition to this, the program keeps refusing to have video playback. It will do audio of the videos but not the videos themselves. I've tried everything that I can find on the internet and NOTHING works.</p>

<p>Have any of you experienced this before?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

Have any of you experienced this before?

That's not really a large allocation of memory for Premiere. It's only holding as private memory just under 4GB.

My recommendation would be to add additional memory to you system.

I personally would recommend a minimum of 32 GB, but if your overhead is low in general, you can get away with less and not have any issues.
