How do I keep my videos from being squeezed in Premiere Elements 12?

I was using one dell laptop and moved over to another dell laptop and suddenly Premiere Elements 12 was squeezing my projects. I am unable to adjust the project settings and when I use the interpret footage option, my videos play horribly.  What is the best answer for this?  How can I fix my settings for PE12 since all my footage comes from the same source?

Thanks for the follow up. It sounds like you are OK, but let me review a few things to make sure.
Assuming NTSC setup...Windows
1. If you are capturing DV data with a firewire connection into Premiere Elements 12/12.1, your source media can be DV Standard 4:3 or DV Widescreen 16:9 depending on your camera recording settings.
Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 are set up to take over setting the project preset automatically based on the properties of the first video dragged to the Timeline. When it cannot do the job for whatever reason, it does not give you the closest fit to what you require for your particular source. It gives you its default 1080i30 (1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second).
If your camera has DV data 4:3, then you set the project preset manually beforehand to NTSC DV Standard. If your camera has DV data 16:9, then you set the project preset manually beforehand to NTSC DV Widescreen. Both Standard and Widescreen have the same frame size, that is, 720 x 480. In the case of the Widescreen, there is a 16:9 flag which stretches the video for display after encoding (to 856 x 480).
You should not have to be using Interpret Footage to get the appropriate aspect ratio when you have done DV data 4:3 or 16:9 capture firewire into Premiere Elements Capture Windows. That concerns me if you do.
Also important is that you are putting DV AVI type 2, not type 1, on your Timeline in the DV data capture firewire process. If Premiere Elements is part of this capture process, DV AVI type 2 is what you should have.
Please consider the above and then let us know, when your schedule permits, if you are OK with the information
Thank you.

    No, you can authorize any number of email addresses on your Apple Id and then select one of those to use as an alternate Send and Recieve for Messages. It isn't necessary to use seperate AppleIDs. I use my phone number on my iPhone and an email address on the iPad.

  • Re: How do I keep an application from being started morethan once?

    Here are some quick ideas. None of them should be too hard to implement,
    although each has some drawbacks.
    1. Have a login server track who is logged on, and if there is already a
    logon for a given user or a given machine, then deny the application
    startup. The nice thing about this is that a user will not be able to have
    multiple logins even by going to another machine. Then again, this may not
    be so nice, and you also get a possible single point of failure on the
    login server for which you will have to prepare.
    2. Drop to the operating system, and get a list of processes for the client
    machine. If the name of one of them matches the name of application that
    is being run, then deny startup. This avoids a network hit, but requires
    some OS specific code. Also, a clever user could change the name of an
    executable to get around this. Note that a user could have another login
    on another machine.
    3. Write to a file on the local machine. You can hide the file in some
    suitable place, and can also scramble some information so that a user
    cannot get around having this file present by reading from the file at
    startup and then writing to it. Based on the state of your application,
    the file will have some scrambled information indicating if an instance of
    an application can be started. If you retain the write lock (i.e. do not
    close) the file for the duration of the application, you increase your
    security at the risk of a confused user if the application gets terminated
    without releasing the lock. Depending on the OS where the client will run,
    this could be an issue. If you like this option, perform some experiments
    first on all configurations of an example client machine to determine the
    behavior. Again, this only works to prevent an extra login on a single
    machine, not system wide.
    If you are not concerned about your users hacking around too much and don't
    care about a login on another machine, I would opt for some version of
    number 3. Otherwise, I would venture number 1.

    Yet another quick and dirty solution is to use local ExternalConnections.
    This is a single instance per machine solution.
    Example is attached.

    Martin,
    there are two ways to read your question
    (a) no more than one instance of an application per machine
    (b) no more than one instance of an application per "user"
    now if a user has only one machine, and your system has "userids" and you
    only want
    one active "session" per "user" then the distinction is irrelevant.
    However, many systems
    let people share logins, so a token based thing enforcing one login will be
    problematic.
    The downside of #1 approach suggested by Curtis happens when a machine gets
    hosed without "logging" the user off the security system, then they can't
    get in until their ticket expires or a sysadmin gets involved. Should be
    manageable, however. But this enforces one application
    instance per user, unless you check both for the presence of an active
    token for that user as well as the presence of a token tied to that
    particular node name. Otherwise there is nothing to prevent the same user
    from launching the app again and logging in as a different user. This is
    definitely the best approach of the bunch, and can be adapted for either
    (a) or (b).
    Suggestion # 2 won't work unless the application is built as a compiled
    client,
    since the process name will be 'ftexec' and not the "name" of the
    application. And it doesn't
    prevent a user from launching the app from a different machine (or people
    sharing logins). So again it depends on what you are trying to achieve.
    #3 also only prevents multiple instances per machine, not necessarily by
    user. Of course
    most people don't have multiple machines. The point is that you may be
    trying to
    prevent your users from sharing logins. In which case the file thing won't
    do it.
    Some other ideas:
    1. You could, however, enforce one application per machine using the
    installed partition agent's ExecutingPartition instrument name. As long as
    the user doesn't run the app in a different environment, you can have the
    app check at startup time if there is another
    ActivePartition running under the same InstalledPartition name.
    (ActivePartitions are child agents
    of InstalledPartitions).
    2. use the ObjectLocationManager and bind a simple object into the naming
    system using a naming scheme such as
    /MyApplication/MyNode or
    /MyApplication/MyUserId
    the presence of either one would indicate that another instance of that
    application is running on either that machine or that user. Of course
    these have to be cleaned out, and subject to similar downside as
    alternative #1. So you'd essentially be using the forte naming system as a
    distributed lock manager (ouch).
    3. Have the application remove the shortcut to launch it upon startup, and
    recreate it when it is finished, or move it to a hidden place. There it
    is - the worst idea I've ever come up with. Don't
    do this!

    If the device is synced with iTunes on the computer and the content is deleted from iTunes it will also be removed from the device.
    Realistically, if you want to keep the content, keep it stored locally.  Purchase an external drive to store the content on.  Keep in mind that iOS devices are NOT backup devices, they merely mirror the content in the iTunes library on the computer.

  • How do I keep my video from stuttering?

    Hello...I have some short QT video clips that I placed on my iWeb project, but they stutter pretty badly during playback.
    I used a preset in Compressor (1000 kbps, 640x480, Best Quality). Clips are between 2-6 MB. When I play them in the QT player they stutter a little bit. But once I drag them onto my iWeb page, they stutter like crazy. I even tried scaling down the quality (300 kbps, 320x240) and they still stutter.
    I checked my system's Activity Monitor and there is plenty of RAM available. Perhaps this is a side effect of iWeb? Will it play correctly once uploaded to the web?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi mc!
    Sounds like your solution is straightforward - simply publish your work. If that does the trick, great.
    However, there may be some times when the QT plug-in gets a little too enthusiastic and makes a poor judgment about when to begin "auto playing" (if you use that option) especially on slower connections. To combat this premature start you can add the "timestamp" value to the autoplay parameter.
    i.e. instead of "autoplay=true" you can tell the plug-in to wait for a specified period of time before the autoplay kicks in. The format is "autoplay=@HH:MM:SS:FF" representing hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.
    So to tell the QT plug-in to wait 3 seconds before autoplaying it would look like this:
    AUTOPLAY="@00:00:03:00".
    A few notes:
    This timestamp value works only for the QT plug-in v5.01 or later.
    The time value seems to run a little faster than what you specify - possibly because the plug-in begins counting when the page loads not when the control bar (slightly later) appears.
    To my knowledge JavaScript does not support the timestamp value of autoplay - no matter - better to have it in an HTML snippet I think.
    Below is an example snippet:
    <OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"

  • How do I keep .mov clips from being squashed when imported into iMovie HD6?

    Hi there! First time poster... Hoping someone can help me out with this:
    I've stupidly shot some footage with my digital camera sideways, portrait-style. I used QuickTime Pro 7 to rotate the footage clockwise, preserving the aspect ratio, so now the .mov clips are 480x640 pixels (so 3:4, instead of the standard 4:3).
    When I import the clips into iMovie HD 6, the footage gets squashed to fit the 4:3 screen, making everyone look shorter and fatter. The Help file advises that iMovie "automatically adjusts incoming footage to fit the screen size (aspect ratio) of your project".
    Is there some way I can opt out of this automatic adjustment? I'd prefer to have black bands on the sides of the screen than squashed video!
    Thanks for any help you can give. Cheers!

    You'll need to make an all black 640X480 image file and add it to your video.
    Adjust its layer so it is in the background and then reduce the dimensions of your video so it fits over it.
    Bring this new file into iMovie.
