One way to troubleshoot issues in Premiere Pro is to reset preferences. Trashing preferences reset the program to its factory defaults.

Resetting preferences undo most of your customizations, such as:

• Length of your default transitions
• Brightness of the user interface
• Label colors
• Audio hardware settings
• Workspace changes (such as resizing and moving panels), etc.

Set preferences for scratch disks are, however, saved with your projects. Whenever you open a project, it automatically defaults to the scratch disks you selected when you set up that project.
