Why do I loose rendered footage from my timeline in Premiere Elements 10, after saving my project !

Why do I loose rendered footage from my timeline in Premiere Elements 10, after saving my project on exit! When I reopen the project, the timeline needs rendering again! Can anyone help me with this problem, it's driving me mad!
Is there a fix, or is it a problem with settings in the program! Any help, greatly appreciated! Mike's Media.

Mike,
Welcome to the forum.
Along with the answers to Steve's questions, please tell us about your computer's I/O sub-system, i.e. your computer's HDD's, and especially where the Project, the media and the PrE Scratch Disks are stored. For instance, if everything is on C:\, or perhaps the Project, media and Scratch Disks are all on an external USB 2.0 HDD.
Good luck,
Hunt

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.

Best way to get rendered footage from 3D app into FCE

I want to render footage from my 3D app (Cinema 4D,usually in TIFF sequences, rather than QT movies) and bring it into FCE for editing, color correcting, and possible compositing.
What format will FCE accept? I tried this scenario with iMovie and no matter what settings I used in rendering from the 3D app, the image was blurry in iMovie.
Looks fine in Quicktime, though.
I don't own FCE, yet, so I can't experiment.
Thanks.

Hi(Bonjour)!
DV and HDV (Apple intermediate codec) are compressed formats.
You must understand that FCE HD can only works in format aimed to TV set output (compressed formats).
The best quality to outfput animation movie from 3D app is... Quicktime animation codec. It retains alpha channel and give best color rendering, but give pretty large files.
Altough your animation movie looks sharp, FCE HD convert it (render) to fit the sequence format (DV or HDV: suited for TV set monitor, thus compressed). So the result will be a compressed one. That's the way FCE HD handle all material inserted in sequence.
To avoid rendering in FCE, select the same format as your FCE sequence from your 3D app (DVCPro NTSC, or Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60). By choosing the same format (DV or HDV (AIC), you choose the same compression quality however.
Final Cut Pro can handle a myriad of formats from heavely compressed mpeg to uncompressed HD. So if you put a uncompressed animation codec into a sequence with same settings, the output will be uncompressed.
If your aimed distribution format is DVD, the result will be compressed anyway to standard def format. Go with FCE HD confidently.
If you want to distribute on computer screen, DV is not a good way to go, but HDV(AIC) can give good results with Quicktime convertion to H.264 codec in full or half frame size. FCE HD can do the job.
Although DV is not best viewable on computer screen, you can produce quicktime H.264 with small frame size, say half or quarter size.

I am recording from my computer screen with an elgato game capture card. Why is the video blurry when I import it to Premiere elements?

I am recording my computer screen with an elgato game capture card. When I play the unedited footage on my own computer, it is clear and crisp. When I import the footage into premiere elements, it becomes blurry. It becomes even blurrier when I save the edited video. How do I keep the video clear? How do I fix it?

Betharoo
Thanks for the reply.
Please check out John T. Smith's information.
At this point, if you could tell us the file extension of the file involved, that would give us a start while you are
gathering the rest of the details.
You can easily get some information for us from Properties for your imported video that is blurry in the Editor.
1. Click on Expert to get into the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 13
2. If you have not already, import your file into the program using Add Media/Files & Folder/Project Assets.
3. Open Project Assets to see a thumbnail for the video that you just imported. Right click that thumbnail,
and select and click on Properties from the menu that opens.
4. Tell us what is listed there is Properties - it should look something like this one which is specific for one of my wmv files.
Your information will be specific to the file that you right clicked in your Project Assets.
From what you have written so far, yours should show
Image Size 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate either 59.94 or 60
Also, please go to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General, and tell us what you see for
Editing Mode
Timebase
Frame Size
Pixel Aspect Ratio
even if the fields look grayed out.
Your project settings may be contributing your Edit area previewing problems.
All of the above will keep us moving forward in the troubleshooting.
Thanks.

How do you combine footage from multiple cameras in Premiere Pro?

I am making a documentary using footage from multiple cameras-- including DSLRS, a Panasonic HP170, and some other cameras.
All footage is shot in 1080p and same frame rate but when I upload all the footage, the footage from the DSLRs looks choppy.
What is the most efficient way to combine this footage and edit it together?

Feature Request: Modify Audio Channels from the Timeline in Premiere CC.1

Why have we never been able to modify audio channels once a clip is added to a sequence? I'm guessing there's a good reason Adobe has never had this feature. The lack of this feature is explicitly mentioned a few times in the audio section of the Premiere Pro CC manual, as if it's a benefit NOT to have it. But the benefit is entirely lost on me.
In my workflow, I synchronize my double-system video and audio before anything else. I do this in PluralEyes (and unfortunately I'll have to keep doing it this way, until PPr's sync on sound feature gets fixed—for me it's never worked).
Once PluralEyes has synched hours of footage and audio and placed it on a PLURALEYES GENERATED sequence, I import that sequence into Premiere. Note: Since I haven't gone through the step of creating a blank New Sequence, I don't get the opportunity to setup my audio channels the way I'd like in my sequence (i.e. Stereo recordings should occupy ONE track, not two. Typically these tracks come from a camcorder and are used for reference sound, or ambient noise at best, so I don't need them taking up precious real estate in my sequence).
Since PluralEyes doesn't merge my clips for me (or rather I don't want it to since I'm usually doing multi-cam sequences where I want to keep all 14, or so, tracks of audio), I have to go through the clips one by one and do a Merge Clip action once I've adjusted any minor sync issues, or determined which tracks I actually want to keep. But, and here's the key, at this stage I'm not yet 100% certain whether I'll use the nat sound or the wireless mic sound (separate audio recorder, etc). Furthermore, I don't really want to think about that at this point. After I've spent a few mind-numbing hours just ingesting files, sync and merges, I want to jump into the edit as soon as possible, before I lose all will to finish this edit. If I modify my audio channels right now, I'll lose the ability to make some creative decisions later on.
I'd like to start whacking out an assembly edit. And then after I have a rough program, I can start looking at which audio tracks (nat or double-system) I like better in each circumstance. This is where I become stumped that at this stage, I'm locked into whatever audio channels I've setup (or not) in the earliest stage of the edit, back before any media was actually on the timeline! It's at this stage, and usually only at this stage that I want to start Modifying Channels—FROM THE TIMELINE!
Does anyone else feel the same? If not, what is your workflow?
Feature Summary: Right-click on any clip, (master clip, sub-clip, merged, nested or otherwise) in the timeline and choose Modify > Audio Channels.
I've submitted a feature request, with a link back to this discussion, so please pipe in—especially if you want this feature.

Maybe its your specific workflow, asset mangement and use of a 3rd party application that runs you into an issue.
Take Pluraleyes out of the equation, I would imagine my workflow is the same as most everyone else. Find footage in the Media Browser. Import it. Create a Sequence and start editing. Use the Source Monitor to set Ins and Outs and then Insert the clip on the timeline.
At this point, if the audio needs to be modified, it cannot be done on the Timeline. The workaround, of course, is to Find Clip in Project; Modify Audio in the Project panel; then do a Matchframe to replace the audio clip. This works, but requires many steps per clip. Also, Matchframe in Premiere Pro CC is not reliable.
Introducing a new Modify Audio (from Timeline) feature as seen in the fantasy screenshot above would solve it.
I dont use Pluraleyse ...which I understand to be a synching aid...so I dont know the workflow it imposes on one .
Returning to Pluraleyes workflow, this issue is compounded by the need to Modify almost ALL audio. Every stereo track is separated and placed on two MONO tracks taking up precious real estate. This is not something Pluraleyes imposes. It is due to the way Premiere imports XML timelines. This would apply to sequences imported from Final Cut as well.
In this case it would be ideal to select both the LEFT and RIGHT mono tracks and choose "Modify > Audio Channels > Merge L/R Mono to a Single Stereo track." Ideal? No. I guess Ideal would be if Premiere would interpret XML files properly in the first place.
What actually is the issue with Premieres synch and merge workflow in your case?
Audio Sync in Premiere Pro doesn't work. Period.

Video overlay issue after I moved from trial to purchased premiere elements

I was using the trial version of premiere elements and was happy with the product. So I decided to buy it. When I did this and put in the serial number I noticed all my video / title overlays are now black. places in my video where I dont have overlay there isnt a problem.
Why did this happen when I switched from trial to purchased product? How do I fix it?

Though I have never read of such problems, let's look at a few possibilities.
You mention "Opacity," and that got me to thinking. Select one of the Clips, that displays as black - click on it. Go to Effects>Edit Effects, to get the Effects Control Panel. Check the Opacity setting (one of the Fixed Effects on every Video Clip). What is that set to?
Test 02 - Dbl-click on one of those offending Clips, to open it in the Source Monitor. Does it play properly there? As that is accessing the physical file on the HDD, and not the editable version on the Timeline, that might tell us something about the file.
Also, what are the specs. of the files, that are not displaying? The reason that I ask is that there are/were a few limitations of the trial (think that the message might still be a sticky at the top of the main forum - not the discussions page - and that it alternates to one about Macs. Wait for it to display, and click on "See Details," to see if maybe there is something there. There are modules in PrE, that require "activation," when one goes to the full-paid version. This activation is usually done transparently, and the user is seldom aware that it has taken place. For it to take place, that computer WILL need to be connected to the Internet.
In your Timeline, do you have red lines over your problem Clips? If so, hit Enter/Return to Render the Timeline for best quality playback. Does that help?
Last, I would check my video driver, and update to the latest one available. My thinking here is that though a video display issue should be rather global for the display/playback in PrE, perhaps it's having problems, where you have two Video Tracks (that does require a bit more power, than just a single Video Track), and perhaps an OS update has rendered that video driver obsolete. That does usually affect the full display of the GUI and also all playback, but again, what you describe is not normal, so if we eliminate all possibilities, we might be able to zero in on the issue.
As you can see, I am just thinking aloud here, as I do not recall this issue ever being posted before. Also, just because something should happen (like PrE easily going from trial to full-paid, with just the S/N), does not mean that it will always happen, as it should.
Good luck, and wish that I had more for you.

Recording to laptop from Panasonic HVX through Premiere Elements 8

I'm going to be using a Panasonic HVX200 and tethering it to my PC laptop (It runs vista, has a 300 G hardrive and 3 Gig of RAM) via firewire. I have Adobe Premiere Elements 8 and want to record using it so I can get HD footage (720p) rather than having to record to DV tapes for Standard Def quality. I also have a 1T external hardrive that will hold the recorded video (this is attached via USB, I can't recall the specs right now and don't have it with me, so I hope this is enough info).
I have never done this before, so I have two questions:
1) Will it work? I believe it will from what I've read (I know that Final Cut Pro on a Mac can do it, but I haven't seen anything specifically about Premiere Elements so any confirmation would be greatly appreciated).
2) Are there any specifc settings I need to use to make sure Elements is capturing the video in the best format?
If further specs are needed to answer these questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Kelly

You've got a number of challenges here, Kelly -- not the least of which is that you're trying to edit video from a $6000 professional camcorder on a $75 consumer video editor. You're much more likely to have success with a professional editor, like Premiere CS5, Vegas Pro or Final Cut.
The other challenge is that this camcorder records at a number frame rate in a number of formats, many of which are not compatible with Premiere Elements.
Still, if you're shooting in 1920x1080 30p HDV and you're connected to your computer via FireWire, you may be able to capture and edit the video if you've got your PRemiere Elements project set up for HDV. It's worth a try anyway.
According to the specs online though, the only consumer format this camcorder is capable of shooting at 30i is 720x480 (standard definition) 30i miniDV. None of the hi-def modes are standard consumer modes.
Still, this is predonimantly a DVPro camcorder. And the odds are much more in your favor if you edit its video with professional software.

How do I delete the audio from a video in Premiere Elements 10?

I took a video on the beach and all you hear is loud, irritating wind roar. I would like to delete the original sound and then add in musical tract on the project. Thank you for any help. I have searched the settings and right-clicked to no avail.

Rajrae
Sounds like progress. So pleased with your spirit of exploration and experimentation in dealing with the Premiere Elements learning curve. Congratulations.
But, the whys for an issue keep me asking. You should be able to right click that Premiere Elements Timeline video and see the pop up with the option to delete the audio. What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running on...Windows or Mac?
When I right click the video on my Premiere Elements 10 Windows 7 64 bit Timeline, I see the following:
You seem to be finding Show Properties in that pop up. What else is missing from it besides Delete Audio?
By any chance are you working in the Sceneline of the program instead of the Timeline. That might explain all this. In both the Timeline and Sceneline, you can get Show Properties, but it is only in the Timeline that you see the Delete Audio choice in the pop up.
Please check it out. This will be a great addition to your learning curve if this proves to be the missing point.
Thanks for the follow ups.

Why are programs released with so many bugs? Photoshop & Premiere Elements 12 installation errors

Microsoft windows 8 was buggy, but win 8.1 has even more program bugs. I cannot install either Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 or Adobe Premiere Elements 12. I get various errors - eg invalid serial number (when it isn't), general unspecified installation errors, roll back problems, 9 times I've uninstalled and reinstalled and rebooted. The Adobe Trouble-shooter does not help eg delete the swf file etc.
Why do you release programs with so many bugs?
How can I get my money back?
But Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 used to work fine...
Adobe is not the only company with Windows 8 problems....

A few days ago I bought the Photoshop elements 12 and with the help of the customer service chat I finally register and received the serial number, but accidentally closed the chat before obtain the link to download it. I 've tried in different ways with not results. Can anyone please help me to download and setup the software that I purchased? I'm new around here and have found it very difficult this new system, I think it was better when the program was purchased on disk and only the installation steps were followed, Sorry my insistence but took a few days on this and start to get frustrated by not receiving any response from the customer service and finally referred me to this forum. Should I return the prepaid card to the store?. Please help.

Capturing from Sony DCR in Premiere Elements 13 not possible?

Premiere Elements does not find the device (SONY DCR-TRV120E PAL), although it is recognized in "Devices and Printers" as "AV/C Subunit / Sony DV Camcorder" (WIN 7) and the device is also recognized and capturing correctly under MS Movie Maker.
Thanks for any helpful advice!
Oliver.

Thanks for the reply.
Hope you can use the workarounds suggested in the Adobe document.
Are you within 30 days of purchase from Adobe direct on this one? If so, you can seek a refund/money back from Adobe.
If you purchased from an authorized reseller, then you have to deal with the seller according to the sellers return/refund policy.
If an Adobe online purchase, then Adobe Chat Orders should be able to take care of the refund details.

Import an FLV file from Adobe Connect into Premiere Elements 12?

The Adobe Connect support staff recommended that we use Adobe Premiere Elements to edit the FLV file that we exported out of their software. We purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 12 based on that advice. Now we see that FLV files are not on the list of supported import files.
How can I import an FLV file from Adobe Connect into Adobe Premiere Elements 12 for editing?

Welcome to the forum.
Over the years, I have used Moyea's Flash Importer plug-in for PrPro, and it has worked perfectly. With about PrPro CS 4, IIRC, Adobe did add an FLV Importer, so Moyea began to suspend development of that plug-in. Then, with the release of the CC version of PrPro, they dropped FLV completely.
Now, Moyea does have other programs, but I do not know if any of them are plug-ins for PrE. However, many of their programs can create, edit and output FLV.
There is also a (free, if memory serves) FLV converter, FLV to AVI, which I used to convert FLV files, before I discovered the Moyea plug-in for my PrPro.
I would look into Moyea, to see if there is anything, that will work as a plug-in to PrE, http://www.video-to-flash.com/products/, and if not, explore a program, such as FLV to AVI: http://www.pazera-software.com/products/flv-to-avi-converter/

Help me import images from Photoshop into a Premiere Elements project!

How do I add photos from Photoshop to existing Premire Elements project.

If you have edited the Images in Photoshop, just Save_As PSD (or TIFF). Set the Still Duration to the desired time, in PrE's Edit>Preferences. Then, Import them into PrE. From the Project Panel, just drag the Image(s) to the Timeline, and to an appropriate Video Track. Say, if you want to place the Image between Clips, just drag it there, and the rest of the Clips/Images on that Video Track will Ripple.
If you want to replace parts of a Clip, with that Image, just hold down Ctrl/Cmd and drag to the appropriate location.
If you want to overlay it, with an existing Clip, just place it onto a higher Video Track. Note: this yields the same general result, as the method above.
I strongly suggest that you Scale your Image in Photoshop, to match, or nearly so, the Frame Size of your Project's Preset.
Good luck, and hope that helps,

Why do I have to reinstall the content CD for Premiere Elements 10?

Hello,
I've installed the software Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and Photoshop Elements 10 an WIN7 (x64) GERMAN
The content CD is installed, too.
After some correct software initializations (start ups), let's say I used it 5 times successfully, the next start of Premiere Elements 10 brings up
a popup windows complaining:
"An incomplete set of contents (InstantMovie, title- and menutemplates eg.) has been installed.To install the complete contents set, insert
your content-DVD or download the contents from the internet.
Would you like to install the contents now?"
My only solution is to deinstall the content-DVD completely and reinstall it!
This is nasty! It take 15 minutes to do so and surely is not a correct behaviour!
I have checked for updates and am running the latest version!
If anybody could help me to correct this misbehaviour, I would really be thankfull ...
Thanks, Klaus

Hello Steve,
I can go on and am offered the choice to download content fron the adobe site ...
I didn't do that up to now. I tried to reinstall from the content-DVD which doesn't work
until you uninstall the (already installed) content and reinstall it later on.
In fact the content is missing, if you try to continue without reinstalling the contents!
The most curious thing to me is the fact that this happens incidently ....
It may happen on the very next start of Premiere Elements 10, it may happen
some days later after maybe 10 restarts of the software.
Thank you very much for your reply ...
greeting from Dortmund (Germany)
