Prel v3 narration

does anyone know if you can narrate with v3 using a USB mic? yes, the mic is set up correctly and passes it's "test" using WinXP. I can't seem to locate anyplace where I can set the audio input to the usb. this particular pc uses an M-Audio 2496 for sound and there's no mic input on the card.
tnx,

thanks Steve,I'll work around it somehow!
ps: do you mean ALL versions of prel can't use usb mics?
tnx,

No sound in previously created ".prel" files when I reopen them

If I am creating new file everything works OK. Also if I tried to play the sound track on the previously created prel files the sound is OK

Great job with the troubleshooting the comment in post 1
When you have encountered this no sound after a save close reopen, have you ever tried
a. Moving from one working space to another and making sound changes in the other workspace before going back to the original working space
b. working in the Timeline workspace and moving audio content to other numbered audio tracks?
By narration missing in all of my projects, does that include new as well as existing projects?
In your present situation, please look at deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file

and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete
the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option
Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that you can see the complete path cited.
Also for troubleshooting purposes now, please consider creating narration in the free audio editor Audacity, exporting the
narration as wav to hard drive and from there import the wav narration file into Premiere Elements with Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and
Folders. Does that function on Narration Track?
Thanks for the follow ups. Looking forward to learning of your further progress.

Opportunity Product Revenue report using Narrative option

Hi,
I have created quote report using "Opportunity product revenue report" with the use of narrative option and its working fine but the problem here is if opportunity has multiple product revenue items it shows in multiple quotes. For me it should show in a same quotation if there are multiple opportunity product revenue items in a opportunity. Could anyone help me how can i achieve this.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
Thanks & Regards

You need to modify report and club all revenue to single item / row.

Unable to load project (prel file) into Premier Elements 7.0

just installed 7.0 ..when attempting to load a project (slide show for play back on a DVD) created in Elements 3.0 .. get error that "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements" .. I have no problem loading the same project in Elements 3.0. Also seems specific to this file, an other project create under 3.0 appears to load with out error. I should point out that the project that will not load was created in Elements 5.0 and exported over to Premier Element 3.0 to create a playable DVD .. the file that will load was created in Premier Elements 3.0 (not sure if that is significant but more information is better then less) .. any thoughts / suggestions would be appreciated ..thanks

"The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements"
Unfortunately, the last part of that error says it all. Something is used, that no longer is in PE7, or has been changed significantly. Could be an Effect, a Transition (though those usually just disappear, and the file still Imports - PrPro gives a warning, and tells you which Transition is missing, and the TimeCode of where it was used), or something else.
If you have PE3, you can do two things:
1.) finish the edit there and Export to your delivery format
2.) Export a DV-AVI file and bring THAT into PE7
Neither is quite as good as being able to Import the .PREL and work on it in PE7, but those are about the only choices that I see. Now, if you have any clue as to what the Effect (whatever) is, that's causing the problem, you *might* be able to open a COPY of the .PREL in WordPad, search for that Effect, eliminate reference to it, and then Save as a .PREL. That might be a lot of work, and might well destroy that COPY of the file - that's why you work on a COPY.
Good luck,
Hunt

Custom Formatting using narratives

Hi,
I am tying to create a report that will display a "quote" based on data from an opportunity. I am using narrative sections that contain custom HTML to handle the layout of the report.
This method works fine when viewing the report on line but if i try to print as PDF all the HTML formatting, including my table structure disappears and the text is just displayed as one long string?
Does anybody know if i can retain my formatting when printing narrative sections to PDF? or do i need to try the "PDF print driver" approach suggested in another thread on this forum?
Thanks

To date this is considered a product limitation. I just talked with an escalation manager and he offered to bring this up with the product managers/engineers tomorrow 5/15/09. I recommend escalating this issue and asking your escalation manager to do the same.

Data in a narrative view.

Sorry if this is simple. Just want to display the multiple values from a report prompt, not dashboard prompt, in the report. My effort has taken me to the narrative view and am using @12 to display the values in the column which has been filtered. But it is listing the values many times for each row. Can I use the narrative to display only distinct @12s or is there a better way to get the prompt values into the report. Thanks

You can do this with pivot table, it is not possible with Narrative.
1. Create pivot view for same report
2. exclude all the columns other than the column you want to show
3. Put the column in measures
4. duplicate the column, drag the duplicate column in to columns and hide
5. drag measure labels into Rows
6. apply aggregation to First on column in measures.
it works, I will blog it shortly with screen shots soon.

Using GoPro Video in PrEl 7

After some experimentation, this is what I think I'm going to do, was looking for a sanity check:
My GoPro creates 1080P MP4 files. I chose 1080P since it's the only setting where the narrow field of view option is available on the GoPro.
1. Use GoPro's Cineform editor to convert the 1080P MP4 files to 720x1280 AVI files.
Note: this creates AVI files 4x the size of the input MP4 file. I'm guessing/hoping this won't be a problem since PrEl doesn't import/store the entire file into memory, rather opens the file and reads a frame to use for a thumbnail, and reads the video content from disk when needed. Plan to use PrEl's clip editor to extract small clips out of all these very large files anyway. It's just the small clips that wind up on the PrEl timeline and thus must be stored in memory. At least that's what I'm thinking.
2. Choose the PrEl 7 project preset: "HDV 720p 30" which matches the AVI file's frame size and rate. With this preset, the AVI files played smoothly in PrEl's clip editor and preview pane, better than the Cineform converted 884x480 AVI files.
3. For output of the finished product for playback on a PC, chose MPEG format with the "HD 720P 30" output preset. This looked good on the PC. Could optionally use output preset "NTSC DVD Widescreen" for burning to DVD.
Sound good? Am I missing any "gotchas" here?
One last question, in my test project, I just created two clips, dragged them to the timeline end to end, and applied the Cross Dissolve transition to the clips. I noticed that during the dissolve, when you can see parts of both clips in the preview monitor, only one clip is actually moving. That is, until the CTI indicator has reached the first frame of the 2nd clip on the timeline, only the 1st clip is moving eventhough you can see the first frame of the 2nd clip in the monitor, but it's just a still image. Once the CTI reaches the 2nd clip, the first clip stops moving and the 2nd clip starts moving. I would have expected to see both clips moving simultaneously throughout the dissolve. Is this expected or a sign that something is still amiss?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Todd
[Moved to Premiere Elements Forum]

Re your question on the cross dissolve transition, note that when you drag a transition to the timeline it can be located to the left, center, or right of the cut. If you want to change it after placement you can either drag the transition box (the one with the swirly arrow) directly or through the transition properties:
Also take a look at Bill Hunts reply #7 in Timelapse movie in PSE10? It goes into detail about 'handles' that are also important to understanding unexpected results with transitions.

Is PREL 13.1 the Problem, or is it the burner in my computer?

Once again, I am hoping the expertise of the devoted leaders of our USERS FORUM can solve my problems. Thank you again for your devotion and efforts on behalf of all of us who struggle to produce our masterpieces.
I purchased Pre El 13 on Dec 29 and installed it 1-5-15.
    My computer—Hpe 580t, Win 7 Professional 64-bit OS with a second internal 1 TB hard drive;     Burner Drive F: Name--    hp CDDVDW TS-H653T
           Intel R Core, TM i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07 GHz,      RAM 9.00GB
I use a Nikon Coolpix 100 camera to video indoor pickleball tournaments at 5 mega pixel size. These video clips range from seven seconds to one or two minutes. I use PREL 13 to arrange the clips into whole games, which requires a lot of editing to eliminate in-between rallies and to correct lighting. Starting with as many as 5 or 6 hours of clips, I pare down to a movie that will fit comfortably on one DVD—less than four GB, or 1 hour 45 minutes, of finished material. After struggling alone for three months, I was able to produce such a DVD within about two weeks, thanks to A T Romano.
THE PROBLEM—after all the time and effort to produce a good movie, Prel won’t recognize the burner on my computer; therefore, I can’t produce a DVD disk. (I always go through the Publish and Share dialog for burning a DVD with recommended settings.) See Figure 1—below.
    Even after I click on RESCAN several times, and make sure a blank disk is in the F: burner drive, PREL 13.1 refuses to find the computer burner.
    Due to insufficient Upload speed (usually between 2.5 to 3.5 mbps) internet speed, sharing my Videos is wholly dependent on burning one to two hours of edited videos to DVD medium. I have tried saving the movie to a Video_TS file on my computer, but cannot save all the components of the movie in the same TS file and be able to burn a DVD using ImgBurn. The menus and scene markers are missing completely, and some of the video clips are also missing. See Figure 2.
    I want to use the Movie Menu Tools and scene markers to designate the beginning and ending of each scene, which I will burn to a DVD for playback on TV. Movie menus and scene markers only work if I use the burner through PREL 13. Other outside burners, like Windows Movie Maker or ImgBurn do not recognize the movie theme or the scene markers, nor do they provide any way to skip to a certain scene marker on the disk.
   While working on other projects, I was able to burn DVD’s; however, I have become increasingly frustrated, because the vacant box indicating no burner detected is now happening every time.
    Would this problem be solved by upgrading or installing another burner?
    Or is this some ingrained bug in the PREL 13 software? (Such as; a burn can fail by inserting a stop marker at the end of a movie or scene)
Another PROBLEM—there is no way to save the edited video clips to a file, to be used again when PREL refuses to recognize my computer’s burner, which requires me to start all over with the editing process.
    To avoid importing all the raw videos to PREL in an endless chain of clips and editing, I tried saving each game, or sometimes a whole match, to an mpg2 file on the computer. Then it could be returned to my project by dragging and dropping the file onto the timeline in the proper sequence. This method works in theory, but again, PREL won’t detect my burner in PUBLISH AND SHARE.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with me.

The complete message is missing--again. I'll try posting directly into this frame. Sandgrass.
ATR—my answers to your Q’s and instructions are in red (except where indicated by ANSWER) below your statements.. It got sort of hairy trying to carry out all these steps and tasks below.
Sandgrass
Thanks for the great post full of information.
For troubleshooting purposes, make one or more copies of your project - File Menu/Save A Copy - and work from copies each, each with a different name than the original.
Did you look at the burn to disc or folder with and without the Intel HD Graphics 2000 or Higher disabled?
    ANSWER-- Please see Edit Menu/Preferences/General.----------- I unchecked the box for acceleration and - - - See LOVELY Screen Shot (Fig 5) Burn Status = Ready.
How do you know all this stuff? I’m afraid to touch boxes and choices for fear it will really mess me up, and unless someone instructs me to do so.
Is the burner recognized and can you burn to disc if you remove the Timeline menu markers and Movie Menu from the project?------------Burn Status shows Ready!
With no Menu Markers or Movie Menu, I tried a Burn command after rechecking the Hdw Accel. box, and the Burn Status shows Ready with the box either checked or unchecked. Since the Hardware Acceleration checkbox seems to be related to my problem, (Fig 6) is a Screen Shot of my computer’s two Drivers, F: & G: . Is Hardware Accel necessary for good quality movies such as I want to produce?
A. Could this one box be the source of all my troubles?
B. Why is it now working either way?
3. The 15 minute duration limit is for Instant Movie. You are not using Instant Movie so, with your19 minute Timeline, you should have no 15 minute restriction and should be fine in that regard. One thing you could check out about your Timeline structure - see if it makes a difference in any of the workflow - look to the Timeline spot about 00;17;05;02 - what is that clip and can you fill in the empty audio space under it with muted audio? Clip at 17;05:02 looks normal to me. There is a gap in the audio at 17:20:21 where I inserted a Black Video and Title. Muted audio? Couldn’t find a reference to Muted Audio. Sorry.
4. Let us go back to focus on the VIDEO_TS Folder from the saved burn to folder route....
Publish+Share -- Disc – DVD -- burn to: Folder (4.7 GB)...
In the Quality area of the burn dialog, what is displayed for Space Required and Bitrate with and without a check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space"?
(Fig 7) is a Scn Shot of the Settings for saving an MPEG file to computer. I don’t know enough to mess with most of the presets when the window opens. I did bump up the Quality to high 80’s, low 90’s. The Field Order is preset to Lower First.
Are you taking only the VIDEO_TS Folder in the saved Premiere Elements folder into ImgBurn?
ImgBurn
Write Files/folders to disc
File Menu/Browse to source folder (that being only your VIDEO_TS Folder)
Here we go! I was opening the TS folder and trying to choose what files had to be imported to ImgBurn! OK—so you take the entire VIDEO_TS Folder to ImgBurn?
    Out of time for today. I will proceed from here and report back to you, hopefully tomorrow.
(ANSWER CONTINUES, SHOULD BE IN RED.)
Since I will be pushing the limits of a 4.7 GB, two-hour movie for my third project, how long should the ideal segments be before saving to an mpeg folder, to be dragged and dropped back to my timeline if I burn straight to DVD?
Which way would net the best DVD quality—Burn straight to DVD, or save to a VIDEO_TS Folder and use ImgBurn for the DVD?
You deserve a medal for all you have done for me. Thanks so much, ATR         Sandgrass
Let us review the above and then focus in on what next.

Problem with javascript in narrative view

Hi gurús!
I'm trying to put some conditional logic in a narrative view of my analysis. I found some tips, and wrote that:
<script>
if('@{FIN01TIME}{ }'=='Period')
document.write("[b]Fiscal Year : [/b]@1       [b]Fiscal Quarter : [/b]@2       [b]Fiscal Period : [/b]@3       [b]Roll Up : [/b]@{FIN01ND}{ }      [b]Cost Center : [/b]@{FIN01CC}{ }       [b]Currency : [/b]@{FIN01CURR}{ }")
if('@{FIN01TIME}{ }'=='Quarter')
document.write("[b]Fiscal Year : [/b]@1       [b]Fiscal Quarter : [/b]@2       [b]Roll Up : [/b]@{FIN01ND}{ }      [b]Cost Center : [/b]@{FIN01CC}{ }       [b]Currency : [/b]@{FIN01CURR}{ }")
if('@{FIN01TIME}{ }'=='Year')
document.write("[b]Fiscal Year : [/b]@1       [b]Roll Up : [/b]@{FIN01ND}{ }      [b]Cost Center : [/b]@{FIN01CC}{ }       [b]Currency : [/b]@{FIN01CURR}{ }")
</script>
All works good, but the problem happens when I "click" on paging buttons of my analysis (see attached image: javascript_problem_paging.png). After click, it leaves me to a blank page with only narrative view content. Also, displays "error on page" warning in status bar (see attached image: javascript_problem_afterclick.png)
I believe that this issue happens with "onclick" event of javascript. I tried to disable it, but still not works.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks for your time!
Regards,
Fabian

Hi all!
I get my own answer, jeje.
Instead of use "document.write..." I put another narrative view with a <div> control and set it's content by "document.getElementById(..).innerHTML = "(same HTML code)""
It works perfect! I hope that this achievement helps somebody else.

Fabian

How can i open a .prel file in premiere elements 11?

Hello Community
Yesterday i created a clip with premiere elements 11 and i saved it as .prel file.
Today i wanted to open this file to go on working on my clip but i couldn't open the .prel file.
When i try to open this file, my premiere elements 11 says that it doesn't support this kind of file or it's in a wrong codec.
Maybe it is because I relocated the different clips i used for my video after i saved my project
Can anyone help me out?

nikank
Maybe it is because I relocated the different clips i used for my video after i saved my project
A very likely possibility that should be explored first. Please move the clips to exactly where they were when you
imported them into the project. When you import your source media into a project, all you get in the project are copies of the
originals. And, those copies need to trace back to the originals at the hard drive save location where
they were when first imported into the project.
Under the condition that you describe, even if the project did open, you should be greeted by several "Where is the file_____?" messages
that you would have to deal for the reconnects.
Other complications may be involved but let us start with the obvious one.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thank you.

Report using narrative to filter another report

I am trying to build a report that will be embedded in the campaign object. I want the report to display the campaign recipients for the campaign record, using detailed inforamtion from the contact record.
I have built a report that contains the relevant contact data that needs to be displayed.
I have built a second report that will be embedded in the campaign record that has a column displaying the contact id of the campaign recipients. The report will have a filter for campaign id 'is prompted' but for testing I have hard coded a campaign id with a total of 469 campaign recipients.
I have included a narrative in the layout. The report correctly displays, however the prompt does not seem to work. All contacts are included in the report, rather than the 469 contacts limited by the campaign ID filter.
The narrative I have used is
<iframe src=https://secure-ausomxxxx.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=%2fusers%2fanqa-djlqt%2fCampaign+Recipient+-ContactInfo&Options=&Action=Navigate&p0=1&p1=eq&p2=Contact.%22Contact+ID%22&p3=@1 frameborder =0 width="100%"></iframe>
Rows to display is set to 1
Earlier attempts I included a contact id is prompted filter on the report included in the narrative, however that brings back one value only. I can change the rows to display to 5 for example, however it gives me 5 contacts in separate reports rather than a list report.
Any help would be great.

Hello Mel,
My understanding is that you are trying to display the contact and their details for the particular campaign. Since these details are not available in the Campaign Subject Area you are using the narrative view.
I would suggest you can use the Contact Subject area to populate the campaign id and campaign name along with the Contact details and embed this report in the Campaign page by prompting the Campaign Id.
Let me know if this works else please explain the requirement once again and I would be able to help you.

Using Javscript in Narrative report

Hi,
Can anyone help me how to use a javascript in Narrative report, Its better if anyone could send the sample code. I am trying to create a label kind of a report using narrative option, I am able to create 12*1 format i.e(12 rows and 1 columns) , but i wanted in 12*2 format i.e.(12 rows and 2 columns). I hope using javascript we can achieve this.
Thanks & Regards,
Ambarish

Hi,
What you can do is, create another view with either narrative or static script, and in that call javascript. In this new script, read the html code of report generated, by doing document.getElementsByTagName("td") or document.getElements ByTagName("tr") depending on your table structure. Introduce alert statments for debugging and you will be able to read rows one by one.
It would be better to use pivot table structure as you will be able to read all the data at once.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Unable To Open .prel Project

I'm running Premiere Elements 9.0.3 (PE9) on Windows 7. When I launch PE9, I get the "Welcome" window with the three options: "Organize", "New Project", and "Open Project". When I click on "Organize", I can see the ".avi" files that I’ve imported, and under the "Organize" tab, I can see my Video Projects (.prel files). However, when I click on "Open Project" on the "Welcome" window and then select any of the ".prel" files, none of these projects will open any longer. The small “Load Project” window is displayed and indicates that 100% of the project is loaded, but the PE9 window remains blank. If I then attempt to open a second project from this PE9 window (File => Open Project...), then I get a pop-up window that contains the following error message: “Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.” When I click “OK” on this pop-up window, the same pop-up window appears again. When I click “OK” on this second pop-up window, Premiere Elements crashes and all of the windows close. (Note: I could open all of my “.prel” projects a couple of weeks ago -- I have no idea what changed.)

BobEZ
First, there is no Premiere Elements 9.0.3 Update version of Premiere Elements 9. There is one for Photoshop Elements 9. So, I am assuming that the 9.0.3 was a typing error and that you meant to type 9.0.1 which is the required update for Premiere Elements 9.
There is an Adobe document on damaged projects that you might want to check out.
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/troubleshoot-damaged-projects-premiere-element s.html
But the first thoughts that come to mind on a problem such as this
a. Have you moved or deleted any of the source media that went into any of these projects?
b. Can you still open a new project in Premiere Elements 9.0.1?
c. Is your video card driver up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements, and are you running the program as Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
d. Have you tried to delete the Premiere Elements 9.0.1 settings file (Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs) found in the path (for Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit)
Local Disc C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in the 9.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work to solve the problem, then delete the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exits. (Be aware that the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file (new) will be generated after you open Premiere Elements. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option Snow Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the whole path.
Let us rule in or out the above considerations. And, if necessary, we will go into your computer environment, including optimization and the possibility of pile ups of preview files and conformed video and audio files. Are the Scratch Disks directed to a hard drive space with enough free space to accept them?/
More later.
Thanks.

Issue filtering a report (based on narrative view) with a dashboard prompt.

I used HTML and java-script codes in narrative view to solve the issue of "linking different reports on selecting values from a drop-down". A new issue has cropped up due to that implementation. The issue is that i can't attach a dashboard prompt to such a report. This means, when i put this report on a dashboard page with a dashboard prompt to help filter the report, the report does not gets filtered (it does not seems to be connected to the dashboard prompt).
Has anyone faced this issue before? If yes, please let me know how to tackle it at the earliest.

Could u plz help me where i am doing wrong .

Generate quote off custom object--HTML in narrative duplicates table

Hi,
I am trying to build a quote header and lines off a custom object. Quote header works, but I am using a separate narrative report called from a web link to show the quote item lines data. The narrative section displays my basic table header and lines, but since the report returns two rows for the selected parts, the table with the header and lines is displayed twice, once for each row returned by the report itself.
I just want one instance of the table, one header and two lines, not separate tables for each part.
Here is the sample html placed in the narrative section of the report.
<TABLE BORDER="5" WIDTH="50%" CELLPADDING="4" CELLSPACING="3">
<TR>
<TH COLSPAN="2"><BR><H3>TABLE TITLE</H3>
</TH>
</TR>
<TR ALIGN="CENTER">
<TH>Column A</TH><TD>@5</TD><TH>Column B</TH><TD>@8</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
Many thanks for any input.

Hi,
Instead of putting it all in the Narrative section you could use the Prefix and Postfix like below:

<TABLE BORDER="5" WIDTH="50%" CELLPADDING="4" CELLSPACING="3">
<TR>
<TH COLSPAN="2">
TABLE TITLE
</TH>
</TR>
<TR ALIGN="CENTER">
<TH>Column A</TH><TH>Column B</TH>
</TR>

<TR ALIGN="CENTER"><TD>@5</TD><TD>@8</TD>
</TR>

</TABLE>
