PE7 on XP to PE9 on Win7
I have about 15,000 + images in PE7 on Windows XP computer , most with keyword tags
and i've tried to move everything over to new Windows 7 workstation, but my keyword tags are not working.
Here are the steps i've tried (multiple attempts)
on XP > backed up catalog > backed up keyword tags > save data to external HDD
on Win7 > installed PE9 on C: drive > restored catalog > imported keywords > didn't work
on XP > backed up catalog > backed up keyword tags > save data to external HDD
on XP > installed PE9 > restored catalog > converted catalog > imported keywords > still didn't work on XP
on XP > wrote keyword tags to files > backed up catalog > backed up keyword tags > save data to external HDD
on Win7 > installed PE9 on D: drive (2nd HDD) > restored catalog > imported keywords > didn't work
Help!.. have i lost the keywords. Why are they not working correctly in PE9. I see the lists i've created
but they search the images and return no found results... I can't lose them, I spent days organizing
each image into sub-sub-categories...
Back up & restore within PSE normally works without the need to separately back-up keywords.
Make sure you are not searching in folder location view for keywords as the behavior is different in PSE9 - restricted to selected folder.
To search the entire catalog click the display button (near top right) and change to thumbnail view.

Adobe 9 Premiere Elements "file not supported or codec not installed"?
I am trying the Adobe Premiere Elements 9 trial version to determine if I should upgrade from Premiere Elements 7. I was able to perform a "get media" on an AVI file and was able to create a DVD (including menus and chapters) that I can view in my DVD player in PE7.
I decided to create the same DVD project using PE9 so I could compare both programs. When I perform a "get media" on the same AVI file in PE9, I receive the following message: :This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed." I'm not sure why I was able to successfully process the AVI file in PE7 but not in PE9.
The AVI file characteristics are Video: 640(w)x480(h), data rate: 1329kbps, bitrate: 1448kbps, frame rate: 29 frames/second; Audio: bit rate: 118kbps, channels: 2 (stereo), sample rate: 48 kHz.
Anyone have any ideas or suggesstions? Thanks!Chris,
There are probably 2000 possible CODEC's, with all the variations and tweaks, that can be placed in an AVI wrapper. Recently, some camera mfgrs. have begun wrapping H.264 material, tweaked from the norm, inside of AVI's. Why? I have no clue, but those cause all sort of issues with NLE programs - yet it is being done. To a lesser degree, the same can be said for MOV, WMV and even MPEG/MP4 wrappers. Knowing the file's format is meaningless, especially with the above cited case of H.264 inside of an AVI.
The great free utilities, G-Spot, or MediaInfo, will tell you pretty much all that you need to know about the file(s).
Premiere Elements, and also PrPro, are designed to work well with myriad file types, and specs., but certainly not all. PrE handles some consumer file types, better than its "big brother," but PrPro handles many professional file types, that PrE cannot touch.
I have CyberLink's PowerDirector (older version), and Magix MovieEdit Pro (also older), as each handles some specific file types and specs., better than either my PrE, or PrPro. Along wil those, basically used as converters, I have a great conversion program, DigitalMedia Converter 2.7, and will often take "odd" material into it, to be batch converted to something that PrE, or PrPro loves, like DV-AVI Type II's, for SD material.
The world of Video is very involved, and one needs to grasp the concept of CODEC's very early on, as they are the building blocks of Video files (and Audio files too). Each quarter, there are probably a dozen new ones, or variations on older ones, utilized by camera mfgrs. For a bit of background on CODEC's, see this ARTICLE. [Could be linked from the earlier article?]
Good luck, and let us know what is inside that AVI wrapper. Someone will know how best to handle it.

PE7 using Win7 64 bit Home Premium
Hello
I bought a new PC in April which has Win7 64-bit Home Premium on it.
Although I had previously intended using this PC solely for music production, I've decided to also use it for some fairly basic AVCHD editing.
Will I have any problems using PE7 on this PC?
Kindest RegardsHi Guys
Thanks for the speedy replies. I really appreciate it. Thanks also for the links to the other posts. It was interesting stuff in respect of HDD setup and VSTs. Aplogies for omitting various system info.
My current set up is:
Win7 64-bit Home Premium.
i7 930 2.8GHz Quad Core (also overclocked I'm told)
6GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM
I have 3 x HDDs:
500GB Software and OS.
500GB Audio Files.
1TB Sample Files (and anything else I wish to put on it).
I'm fairly new to filming and have a Panasonic HDC HS9. At this point, my intentions are to do some musical performances, possibly to put on Youtube/Vimeo etc.I am aware that these websites will likely compress my audio to heck. However, it would be great just to have some HD footage retained of the performances for personal use and prosperity.
Just for background info, what I am intending doing is:
Recording my audio via my preamps into an RME Multiface II (Audio Interface) into Cakewalk Sonar Producer Edition 8.5.
Transfer the footage from my HDC HS9 to my DAW via the USB cable or SD card.
I was then intending exporting the audio (.wav) from Sonar and then importing it into PE7 and syncing it up with the footage.
Is my setup okay for PE7 providing I persevere with the possible VST blacklist issue?
Regards

Opening a PE7 project in PE9
When I try to open a project in PE9 that is in PE7 format, the video in the time line appears with the red line indicating the need to render the whole piece. But when I try to render either by hitting return or the Timeline>Reader Work Area command, the render window appears very shortly, but nothing happens.
Do I have to do some pre-treatment of the PE7 files so they will be excepted in PE9 form or down load a fix?Check the info in this thread:
"This project contained a sequence that could not be opened". -
PYRO A/V Link XP,Vista, & Win7 switch settings + info for use in PE7
I see a lot of confusion regarding capture glitches and switch settings using the PYRO A/V Link. I looked at Canopus and others before I bought this one because it fit my budget. After I bought it I went through the glitches and the Support system of ADS Tech problems that others are experiencing.The settings I use worked on my Vista 32 bit laptop and without a hitch when I got my Windows 7 64 bit desktop using PE7. I"m sure they will work for PE8. I have a ton of VHS tapes that I am working with so my point of reference is for VHS capture. I am also using NTSC.
If you are ordering one what you will be ordering is an API-558-EFS. Or maybe you are using one of the API-550 units. Thjis information should work fine for the 550. There is NO API-558 unit unless this has changed since I bought mine. The BOX with an API-557, a power cord, and an outdated API-550 user manual is what constitutes an API-558. I know this because an irate ADS Tech rep told me. I emailed to find out why I didn't get an API-558 and that is what I was told. "We no cheat you. You got what you pay for".
I checked for updated drivers and info from ADS Tech and found a REVISION E. You can go online to their website and print it off if you like but I will dialog on this revision in the switch settings. I tried to get the ADS Tech rep to give me a serial number break as to when they changed from the 550 to the 557 units but did not get an answer. I think he said REV.E started with the API-557 but who knows seems to be answer.
Switch settings: I use #1 DOWN #2 UP #3 DOWN #4 DOWN and here are the reasons why.
The API-550 booklet/user manual shows a few windows versions. I refer to Windows XP because Vista and Win 7 seem to be offshoots of XP.
SWITCH NO. 1 for the API-550 (the API-557 and Vista and Win 7 are not in there) says DOWN for NTSC and Up for PAL . REV E says this has been changed to a black level (Color IRE) down being 0 IRE and up being 7 IRE(default). The ADS Tech rep told me the new unit Automatically detects NTSC or PAL. Do I believe him? Not at this point in time.
SWITCH NO.2 was not changed with REV.E UP for XP, Vista, and Win 7
SWITCH NO.3 was not changed with REV.E DOWN for XP, Vista, and Win 7
SWITCH NO.4 was originally (for the API-550) DOWN for LOCKED AUDIO and Up for Unlocked Audio. REV E. changed this to Down =12-bit/32kHz and Up =16-bit/48kHz Audio Sampling Rate
At this point in time I believe I have an API-550 with an API-557 sticker on it. My reasoning is that I import one long stream (60 to 90 minutes) of video from VHS into PE7 without stopping and after making a DVD where the video and sound separated further and further to about 5 minutes off at the end. I went back to switch #4 LOCKED AUDIO. I also didn't care about black level so I set the #! Switch DOWN fo make sure of NTSC. Depending on which unit you think you have you can experiment with the first and last switches. It is possible on short video you might not notice the video/audio separation. ALSO PE7 identifies the unit as an API-550 at the top of the capture screen/panel.(Capturing Device) Whether or not this is the result of windows drivers I don't know.
Connections I have a VHS/DVD Recorder unit with HDMI and Component Video (3 Video and R & L Audio) output. The PYRO AV link has Component Video IN which I use and the Canopus did not as I recall. I don't know what the other various units have as they were over my spending limit. The quality of Video I get seems really good.. If you are thinking about upgrading your VHS player look on the Back of the unit you think you want to buy and see if it has the Component Video output. The users guide says for DVD player out on my machine but works fine for VHS out. To connect the Pyro to computer you need Firewire as others have said. No USB connection.
One Major Glitch; Get off the Internet (as others have said) before you start trying to do video. This is even more important with an underpowered computer. My laptop had a switch I would flip to disconnect. My desk top Internet connection has to be disabled. or unplugged from router, or turn router off if you don't need it for other computers. If you don't know how to watch your task manager learn how to bring it up and watch it to see cpu and memory usage and the ammount of processes being used. RESTART the computer maybe more than once. What you will notice will be the number of processes being used will drop and the ammount of memory being used will drop. Restarting seems to dump all the Internet garbage at least till you get back on again and surf around and collect it again. I used to leave mine off the internet for several days and the movie making went smoothly. On my laptop it took up to 10% of the memory and the desktop takes 6+% of 12GB just to be on the internet. I started noticing this early on when things would lock up and I would have to restart anyway.
Starting; After you get off the internet, restart, bring up the task manager, and watch till things settle down to about 0 cpu usage, start PE7 or whatever Video program you want. Watch the task manager again and when everything is down to about 0 cpu usage, start a new project in the welcome screen. Where you want to put your project and how you name it is up to you. I make a new folder and put Everything in there. If you use an external hard drive make sure you dont forget to have it hooked up and on when your video program goes looking for projects the next time you open one up.
After you push ok and the selections come up for what type of video you are working with Click on the NTSC DV and it will give you a choice of 4:3 or 16:9 Wldescreen. I use the standard 4:3 because all of my footage is old and when playing a DVD later on, the newer TVs seem to be able to widen it out and on older TVs things look normal anyway. I click done and when mainscreen comes up select Get Media. I again select DV ( Camcorder) and the capture Window opens up.
I fire up my VCR, put a tape in and plug in the PYRO unit. I don't know if that's bad or not, I just got tired of pushing the teeny power button on the unit so I just plug or unplug the PYRO power cord. If the red light is not on the front of the PYRO push the button next to it and hold briefly. When you let go the Red light should be on for Analog. When you hook up one of these to the computer Windows may install a driver. Some firewire devices say you don't need a driver. With the PYRO TURNED ON, if you open up DEVICE MANAGER you will see the Pyro show up under IMAGING Devices. Imaging Devices does not show up in my machine until the PYRO is plugged in. Then when Imaging Devices shows up mine says AD API-550. Click on properties,then driver, and windows shows a driver. Says its an older driver but it works. If you don't see it listed before you try to import video you may have other issues.
Play some video through your VCR and make sure the light stays Red on the Pyro. You should see the Video in the Capture Window and also hear the audio. I let my VCR do some auto tracking, play and rewind and zero the counter when I reach the point I want to push the capture button. After a few times you can pretty much tell where the tape needs to be at the point you push capture. When capturing it will say capturing and a red line will appear around the window. If you push pause, that segment is pretty much a done deal. If it didn't capture enough video you may have to rewind and capture again and leave the first capture out of your project.
If you have glitches or the capture is screwy you may have to exit the project (save it if you alrerady have existing material in) RESTART and try again, or delete and start over. Once you learn what you want to do you shouldn't have that problem. I also learned early on to NEVER push the close button in the upper RH corner to close PE7 as you would normally do to close a window or program. PE7 didn't like that. Always use File and EXit.
Always wait for PE7 to settle down on each step before you try to do other things or you are going to lock things up depending on how fast your machine is. I have the Task manager to always be on top of other windows (under options at the top of Task Manager window). If it gets in the road I minimize the window and bring it back up whenever I think things are moving slow or I want to check something.
I have used this procedure for other movie programs and capture always works. Hope it works for others using PYRO. Hopefully I was to the point and this makes sense. Bill Hunt suggested I maybe post this to Muvipix but when I visited the Muvipix site there was Pyro stuff all over the place and I wasn't sure where to post. Maybe after he reads this he may not want me to post. Or If he thinks its ok material maybe he can scoot it over to Muvipix for me. Thanks again. I will watch this post to see if I was unclear on anything. Or if you guys clear up any mistatements you think I made.Steve,
I am pleased you thought this was good info. Please use it as you think it will do the most good. The reason I posted it to the main forum is because I am a novice when it comes to forum use. I wasn't aware of the fact there were sub forums (so to speak) until recently. The same for Muvipix.
What I mean is, that when I first found Adobe forums I was only looking at the main forum for answers, as I would guess other novices are doing. I found the PE portion, and that was as far as I went unless you guys had links to other stuff, and even then it didn't dawn on me that there was a Tips & Tricks or hardware sections, etc. I would type in PYRO for example, and if nothing came up in the main forum first to redirect me to something else, I thought that was all there was. Don't know if there are other novices thinking the same thing.
I apologize for my ignorance on posting to Muvipix. The format seems to be different and I found Pyro discussions there which seemed to be in several sub forums? So I posted here first and the only knowledge I have about sending this material to Muvipix (outside of re-typing the whole thing) would be to copy and paste it. (Bring up Muvipix in a separate Internet window along side Adobe and copy/paste). Sounds dumb, but as I said I am still computer illiterate. Also which section of Muvipix would I post it under? I'm pretty sure you guys have a better way of posting the same material in both forums at the same time than copy/paste. Thanks for the info. -
I did a complete catalog backup of my 18,800 photo catalog to an external hard drive before I upgraded my PC to Win7 Ultimate and now when I'm going to restore it I'm getting over 5,200 photos that are disconnected. I've tried restoring both to the original folder structure and used the option to ignore the original folder structure, but the same problem happens either way. To make matters worse, I've gone through the tedious process of reconnecting all the photos (more than once), but every time I have, when I quit the program and come back, they're disconnected again.
I've read some other forums online and seen somewhat similar discussions, but none of the methods discussed seemed to work (other than tricks to speed up the reconnecting process).So, does anyone have any ideas? This seems like it should be really straightforward, but I've already wasted hours on it...
One other point worth mentionining is that the photos that keep getting disconnected are in folders called My Catalog-xxxxxxx where the xxx's are replaced by a long string of numbers. I have upgraded from previous versions of PE over the years and these are older photos, so I'm guessing they were created by previous versions of the app. The photos are definitely in those folders, but the app cannot find them.
Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.
BobThanks John...here it is.

PE7 or PE9 - What problems are with 64 bit or Windows 7
I'm upgrading to a new computer. Are there any bad problems with upgrading to 64 bit - I now have 32 or Windows & - I now have XP. I currently have PE7 and it works great except the hotsync quit working a month after I got it last year. I just use the upload on photoshop.com to go around this. I'd appreciate any help as I'm buying a new system in about a week.
well PSE 7 is compatible with 64 bit as well as with Win 7 machine. Should work well on your system.

Performance and Stability Problem with PE9
I just upgraded my computer to a Core i5 with 8G of memory and everything is running much faster. But my NEW PE9 just run very slow. Some of the simple tasks take 10-30 second to complete. Even Windows 7 will often come out to ask if I want to wait for PE9 to wake up or kill the process. When I want to change the size of a video clip, it just doesn't work at all due to performance. It will take PE9 20-30 seconds to resize the video clip. Without some realtime feedback of the size, it is impossible to do the resizing and this is a very fundamental operation. PE9 often crash or seize up as well, I didn't have any of these problem with PE3.0. I upgraded to PE9 simply because my PE3.0 for WIndows XP is not comletely compatible with Windows 7 (some of the text displace does not show up).

PE7 very slow Windows 7 64 bit
Hi guys,
PE7 is running very slowly for me.
I'm running an i7 920 with 8GB of ram.
Windows 7 64 bit
Graphics card is Nvidia GeForce 9600GT running the latest driver V270.61
I am importing AVCHD videos into PE7 and then just dragging them across onto the work timeline and it just takes ages and hangs there for quite a while.
I can't edit the video on the timeline at all as it is just taking too long.
Any suggestions out there would be appreciated.
thanksSince AVCHD is a video file, not just a static picture, hard drive configuration is important
My 3 hard drives are configured as... (WD = Western Digital)
1 - 320G WD Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
2 - 320G WD Win7 swap file and video project files
3 - 1T WD all video files... read and write files
Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for easy video editing
One hard drive is not as good as two which is not as good as three -
Is PE7 compatable with windows 7 64bit?
are there any versions of Adobe Premiere Elements besides PE8 that are compatable with Windows 7 64bit? I have heard of lots of problems with PE8 and I would prefer using PE7 if possible. Actually I use PE3 with XP home 32 bit and love and don't really want to upgrade but it seems like i might have to. thanks
i downloaded the PE8 trial and have worked with it for a couple of hours and had only one glitch so far. while capturing it froze after about 10 minutes, i had to capture the rest and splice it in. i added some titles and a 2nd audio track that was mono and used audio effects to copy left track to right track, i faded in video and audio and so far everything seems to be working fine.
i have an intel MB D975XBX2
dual core processor,
4 gigs of RAM
win7 pro 64bit
it's taking a little getting used to but probably not as hard as trying to learn a whole other program like sony studio for example. i've got 30 days and i'll keep using it and see how it goes but so far, so good. -
Can PE9 burn Blu-ray files to DVD?
I do not have a Blu-ray burner and do not anticipate getting one for a year or two. I was not able to burn or copy Blu-ray files in PE7 and ask if it can be done in PE9. I did download the trial version of Sony Vegas HD Movie Studio Suite and was able to burn the Blu-ray files to the hard drive and to a DVD; that DVD played brilliantly on both Samsung and LG Blu-ray players. I have a lot invested in Premier over the years and would prefer to upgrade.
The machine is 2.67ghz dual core, 4gb of RAM and a 500gb RAID 0 hard drive with more than 175gb free.Lots of other posts on this subject in this forum
Yes it can - but
My first attempt played on other players except my new Pioneer player. (Full HD)
The video on the disk was perfect on my computer.
I copied the file produced on the Blue Ray disk and used a simple authoring program (PowerProducer that cam with my burner) to burn another disk.
This plays perfectly in everything.
The only thing I can think of is that my LG player can write at 8x but I only had 4x blank disks (they are much cheaper). PE9 does not have any speed setting so perhaps the "grooves" werent burnt deep enough??
or the name of the main folder on a PE9 burnt disk is different - maybe my player did not like it??
I have a similar computer setup to you except you definately need at least 2 hard drives. The video on one and the project on a second one.
You need a good fast video card for HD smooth preview, not just the one on the motherboard.
Also look at recent posts on memory settings for resources.
I split my raid up to 2 seperate disks and installed a third large disk for video capture files
OS & PE9 on C
Video on E
Project and adove cache files on F
LG computer burner is available for around $100 -
Monitor playback issues in PE9
Hi,
I am posting on behalf of a colleague and I wonder if anyone has encountered the following issue or has any advice about resolving it.
When he starts a new project in PE9 and captures via firewire the capture monitor plays back fine but when switching back to the timeline/preview monitor there is no video playback, it just stays on the first frame of the clip in the timeline.
Similarly if he opens an existing project the timeline/preview monitor video playback is fine but if the capture window is then opened there is no video playback in that.
The only way around it is to reboot the PC and then start again with the required monitor.
In both instances the audio plays back fine.
The playback seems fine when scrubbing along the timeline.
This is a recent development, both capture and preview monitors used to function without a problem.
It's not an Windows or Adobe update issue as the PC is not connected to the internet.
It's a Dell PC, Win7 64bit, Intel i7 CPU, 16GB RAM, nVidia graphics card, 2TB hard drive.
Any help or advice would be most appreciated."It's not an Windows or Adobe update issue as the PC is not connected to the internet."
Actually, that could be part of the issue. You NEED to be connected to the internet and get all of the necessary updates. Even Windows 7 is on SP1 -- and your graphics card driver is probably a year out of date, even if the computer is brand new.
Other possible issues:
You don't say, but is this a miniDV camcorder connected by FireWire?
Are you capturing to your C drive or to a second hard drive?
You've got a pretty fast processor and it should fly with miniDV video. But without any operating system or Adobe or nVidia updates -- or the requisite latest version of Quicktime -- there's no telling what's going on with your configuration! -
I am not a rookie at this I had premier 6.0 for years with DV 500 and the blue box. Great system. My coputer after 10 years finally went out. None of my old stuff works on my brand new PC. I bought PE9 - not sure if i made the correct move. I have a JVC mini DV - bought a gigawar inbox for the s cable and audio - PE9 does not pic it up. I can caputre video on Gigaware's program and transfer it to PE9 the quality is aweful. I need to capture it directly to PE9 just like i did in premier 6.0 - I seen one thread on using a firewire but my new desktop computer does not have a fire wire slot. I have a new still canon camera that will take a little video - did some - pulled the card out put it in my sytem - PE9 picked it up but said the format was not okay for PE9 any suggestions on how to capture?

Hi All,
I know this is an old topic, but maybe there is some new info available. Yes I know PE7 loves HDV, which I have used very successfully for 3 years. But I am eager to enter the modern world of File based video cams and save the capture time. Also, my clients are sending me files that I always need to render out to .m2t files before editing in PE7. The lack of efficiencies are really starting to frustrate me.So I ask the following:
- Assume I have gobs of ram and and speed on my computer. Is anyone having any luck with the new file based cameras? Really hoping the answer is yes, because PE7 is absolutely awesome!
- Or...should I stop asking this question, buy a juiced up Mac PowerBook and strongly consider migrating to FC Pro since it seems to work well with most of the new cams?
Does anyone else feel my pain? Your input will be most appreciated.
StanThis is about as close, as I have been able to come:
Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 2, Windows Media Center, Windows Vista® (all applications run native on 32-bit operating systems and in 32-bit compatibility mode on 64-bit operating systems), or Windows 7 (Adobe® Premiere® Elements Editor runs native on 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems; all other applications run native on 32-bit operating systems and in 32-bit compatibility mode on 64-bit operating systems)
That sounds like 64-bit in Win7-64 only, but is not 100% clear to me.
As PrE 10 comes with both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions (at least on the physical media), you should be able to install PrE 10-64, and see if the installation completes on your Vista-64, and runs fine. If not, you can then install the 32-bit version.
Good luck,

Many crashes PE9 Windows7 64bits
I bought a new, faster PC, running on Windows7 64 bits. Instead of less problems, I got more. Every x minutes Premiere Elements 9 crashes.
The Microsoft support site says PE9 is compatible, but where I had no problems in Vista 32bits, I can hardly work now.
MEDION® AKOYA® PC P5703 D, i7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460.
Please can anybody help me with this. I have just 450 videosnapshots from my summer vacationsSorry that the OS transition has not been a smooth and enjoyable one.
I would start with the tips in the beginning of this ARTICLE. After you have worked through those, if things are not better, there are additional links down the article, and they rather work up in levels on tuning the program, the OS and the hardware. Sort of like a DYI book, the links go up in "degree of difficulty," until one finally gets to The Case of the Unexplained.
For Win7-64, be sure to see Black Viper's OS TuneUp site for some tweaks and settings.
Good luck,
Hunt
