3 more Premier Elements 10 questions

Trying to create a volleyball highlight video for my daughter ... need help with 3 things:
* highlighting something in a video ... pausing the video briefly with a halo / circle and then resuming it ... how do i do that?
* creating a title that runs the length of the video ... how do I do it and not have to re-do it when I add new clips?
* how to I add a title page and change how long it and the text remain visibile?
Thanks.

Woody,
I like Steve's Lighting Effect method, as it is very simple to accomplish.
There are also several other methods, that can give a different "look." This article covers some of those: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1765005#1765005
As far a "pausing" the action, one can create a Freeze Frame of the last Frame on a Clip, then insert that, between the Video Clips. The Duration can be increased, or decreased, as needed, and some of the same "highlighting" techniques can be employed to it, as well.
Good luck,
Hunt

    I downloaded premier elements 12 and photoshop elements 12 and neither will lauch an installer.
    how do I get this software installed and operable?

    Nobody can know. you have not provided any system information. The installers not even launching, however, probably means that you don't meet the system requirements. Look them up on the product pages.

  • Question on Trial version of Premier Elements 12

    This  is  my  first  effort  at  creating  a  video  with  this  new  program.  I  have  several  questions  but,  we'll  do  one  at  a  time.   First ...  When  I  create  a  transition  a  "banner"  shows  up  on  the  screen  saying  "created  by  premier 12 trial version.  Is  that  going  to  be  there  on  the  "finished  product ?  It's  very  annoying  and,  blocks  everything.     Second ....  When  I  looked  thru  the  photos  I  ADDED  some  captions  to  the  bottom  of  the  photos.  However,  the  TEXT  doesn't  show  up  when  creating  a  movie.  What  am  I  doing  wrong ?

    Prof.    I  am  trying  multiple  things  her  so,  bear  with  me.
    lets  go  back  to  a  discussion  we  had  yesterday  about  text  on  pictures.
    I  believe  I  have  to  be  in  "expert  mode  to  do  all  of  the  things  you  asked  me  to  try...
    I  went  into  expert  and,  was  then  able  to  access  these  items.  I'm  working  on  trying
    all  the  things  you  suggested.
    However, what  about  doing  all  this  text  stuff  in  a  a  naration   instead.  Would  that  be  easier ?
    Bill  Hunt  had  given  me  a  way  to  do  that  earlier  but,  I  was  a  bit  overwhelmed  and  lost  that  text.
    Maybe,  that  might  be  a  more  "personable" way  to  do  this  ????

    As they say, this is just a test
    1. Open Premiere Elements 12 to the Expert workspace.
    2. Import a photo from the hard drive into the program via the program's Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets. And, from Project Assets, drag your photo to the beginning of Video Track 1.
    3.With your Timeline Indicator (Blue head on Red Stem) at the beginning of the Timeline, go to Text/New Text/Default Text and click on Default Text to open the Titler which will have four sections (Text, Styles, Animation, and Shapes). Click on the Text section tab. Notice that, when the Titler opened, the program automatically placed the title on the Timeline at the position of the Timeline Indicator.
    a. There are a variety of ways to start typing, replacing the default "Add Text" with what you want. What I usually do is to go to the right edge of the Add Text default with the mouse cursor and left click/drag from right to left across Add Text to put a gray cast over it and then type with the horizontal type tool. When I am ready to move the text around, then I select the Selection Tool in the trio of tools (horizontal text tool, vertical text tool, selection tool) in the Text Section and use it to select the text. When you make the text selection, you should see a bounding box around the text for you to use for resizing and such.
    b. Important add ons...after the Titler closes, to open the title again for more editing, double click the title on the Timeline...when you want to close the Titler, look to the top right of that Adjustments Panel. You should see two tiny gray arrows point right. Click those arrows to close the Titler.
    Here is some reading material for your to review after you have done some mini test runs with the above.

    The last three may be more than you want now since your focus is on captions, but maybe hold on to them for another time when you want to get deeper into the Premiere Elements Titler opportunities.
    Please review and let me know if I went too far beyond what you sought. I will back up if necessary.
    Also, please take a look at "captions as text" in Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor preferences.

    why does adobe premier elements render my video everytime i change something in it even when i have lots more of the video to edit? other editing software only seems to render at the start then lets you edit until your ready to save at the end.  Constant rendering means its almost impossible to edit anything. Please help.

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running? It will not influence my answer but will give me information in case I need to get into version specifics to detail my answer further.
    Timeline rendering is a preview matter. It does not fix anything, but it is your window of opportunity to catch of problem sooner than latter. If the Timeline rendering indicator displays orange (11 or higher) for the line above the Timeline content, that is the project telling you that you are not getting the best possible preview of the playback of that content in the Edit area monitor. And, every time you edit a file, you have altered the file from the time before. So, if you want to see the best possible for what you now have, you Timeline render. This is particularly helpful when you are dealing with titles, effects, transitions, and non native formats. You cannot turn off the Timeline render indicator system, at least none that I have ever found nor seen reported. You can do selective Timeline rendering by having the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar span only the Timeline segment that you want Timeline rendered.
    Consequently, you either ignore the Timeline render indicator system, move on in the project, and take your chances in the outcome or you Timeline render to get your best possible preview if the Timeline render indicator is suggesting that you do so.
    I am not approving or disapproving of this project feature, just commenting on the what is.
    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If you want to have your voice heard at Adobe, you might consider filing an Adobe Feature Request Bug Report Form.
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    Please consider.
    ATR
    Add On...it is also possible to do Timeline rendering in a project, save close the project, and reopen it to find your previously "green" lined content now "orange", indicating unrendered. Yet the preview files generated originally by Timeline rendering are still existing in their hard drive save location. That is another story for other time.

  • How do I get rid of the trial question on my Premier elements - which I purchased in Jan 2014

    I purchased my Adobe  Premier Elements in Jan 2014 - but now every time I use the program for editing and DVD burning it confronts me with a trial program (saying I have 2 days left on the trial) - how do I get rid of this trial Advertisement/program so that I can continue with the Premier Elements that I have already purchased?
         Thanks Brian Dearden@

    Mooivoel
    The answer would be expected to be....
    When you are given the Trial Message, click on the tab that says License The Product (or something like that) and then follow the instructions which will include inserting your purchased serial number.
    Have you been there and done that?

  • Question: problems loading premier elements 7

    I have premier elements 7.  It won't load now, and says I need to unistall then install.  Some of the error messages say licensing no longer supported

    ALeakey
    Thanks for the reply and lots of details with which to work.
    1. Definitely download and install the latest version of QuickTime.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    2. Go to http://www.adobe.com, sign in with your Adobe ID and Password, and, at the top right of that
    home page, look for and click on a Welcome to get at My Products. If the program was ever registered,
    hopefully you will find your product there with its serial number which we could use in case of a needed
    uninstall/reinstall.
    3. In the computer, find the Device Manager/Display Adapters/. Double clicking Display Adapters should reveal
    the name of your video card/graphics card (s). Double click the card name to bring ups its Properties dialog.
    Look at the Properties Driver Tab for the details of driver date and driver version. Based on that information, you
    would go to the web site of the manufacturer of the card to determine if you have the latest version of the driver.
    4. When Premiere Elements 7 is loading, is it stopping on any particular phase of the activities that are usually
    displayed when the loading is taking place?
    Please review. The details for the above will help us even further to plan troubleshooting strategy.
    Do not give up.
    Thanks.

    Add On...Also make sure that you are still working from a User Account with Administrative Privileges and also you are running
    Run As Administration......look at the problems with and without the antivirus program disabled.

  • Premier Elements 7 - confusion over mixing video formats

    Hi
    I have been using a DV camcorder (SD quality) for some time, originally recording in 4:3 format, and more recently in 16:9 format (as we bought a wide screen telly).
    I have just treated myself to a new AVCHD Panasonic video recorder recording High Definition footage in 1080 16:9 PAL format onto an SD memory card.
    I wanted to take all this footage and put it on my computer to edit it together and start making some films to keep for the future - on DVD for now, and at some point on Blue Ray. To this end I have just purchased Adobe Premier Element 7.0, with Photoshop Elements 7.0 bundled together.
    My confusion is that it appears I can only use one format in a "project" as I need to define the parameters for the "project" in terms of SD vs HD and 4:3 vs 16:9. I was hoping to be able to store all of my footage of various quality definitions and screen ratils into a "library" (which I see is called "Organiser" in Adobe terms) on the hard disk, and then pick and choose from the "library" what to put into each "film project" as I make them, mixing formats as I wish. I realise that in this way, the output would itself switch from 3:4 to 16:9 etc on accasions as I switch scene to use a different format, and so may not appear to be the smoothest edit.... but I thought that would be my decision to do if I wanted it. Instead it appears I cannot mix a few minutes if 4:3 SD footage of my son as a baby, with more recent 16:9 1080 HD footage of him as a boy - which is a real shame as it is what I wanted to do....
    Have I misunderstood, or am I right in thinking I am limited in this way?
    Why can I mix still photos of any format with video , but not mix different formats of PAL video?
    Many thanks

    Thanks Paul
    I have been having go, as you suggest, and as you said, I cannot edit my AVCHD footage in Scene mode as it has 5.1 audio (which I cannot change on the videocam) This is very disappointing as I really wanted the simplicity of the scene editing rather than timeline.... This is compounded by the fact that timeline editing seems even more complicated than normal as each new AVCHD clip I add is placed onto a different video track (not all on track 4 as you thought)- so it is real mess to work out on my screen.... Is this a bug, the way PRE treats 5.1 tracks - or is it just oversight and poor design? Do you think it might be addressed by Adobe?
    Anyhow, thanks for explaining what is going on, as without your warning, I would have assumed that the PRE 7 sceneline feature was broken - you would have thought there would be some warning / documentation from Adobe about this, as effectively, a big feature is now unavailable to me as an AVCHD user - and the product claims to be compatible with AVCHD!
    Would you be able to advise on a couple more of my "newbie" file format questions?
    How do the settings work between setting the initial PROJECT format, and then choosing the various OUTPUT (sharing) settings. For example, if I want to edit a project using AVCHD clips only, and output it to DVD quality to watch on a PC or burn to DVD disk, do I get the same thing if I set the project setting to PAL AVCHD High Def 1080 5.1 and then the share setting to DVD quality output, as I would if I set the project settings to DV 48hz and the share setting to DVD quality output?
    My ideal would be to retain the High Definition of the footage through the editing process and then be able to output to DVD quality now, but to be able to come back to the finished edited project in the future and choose to output it to Blueray when I have upgraded my TV and bought a blueray player. i.e. I am trying to make my filming and edited projects a bit futureproof....
    Finally, I am just not up enough on all the different format lingos (Mpeg1, MPeg2, H.116 etc) to know what I should be choosing from the list for:
    1) outputting edited footage to burn onto a DVD to be used on a DVD player
    2) outputting edited footage to save onto a PC to view in the best possible quality on a PC
    Do you know?
    Many thanks

  • Can I add a Tivo codec to Premier Elements?

    I have Premier Elements 11, on a Windows 7 (64 bit)  machine. I also have Tivo Roamio, with their transfer software which will copy shows from the Tivo box onto my computer hard drive. I have recorded some movies I want to share with my kids when they come home from college this summer (one-time viewing, strictly private, in-home only). The video transfers show up as FILENAME.Tivo files; if I want, I can convert those into mpg files, via software by Pavtube. However, some shows will not convert completely; and, if I could avoid a time-consuming (and possibly lossy; not sure about that) conversion step, that would be nice.
    So, the question becomes, can I install some codec into Premier Elements, that will allow it to recognize and handle filename.Tivo files?
    If anyone can tell me where to find that kind of codec, and give me the basics of a step-by-step installation, to get the codec into a location where the Premier software can find and use it, that would be very appreciated.

    Another quick update -
    I've been trying the ctivo software, and have not seen any advantages over the combination of "Tivo Desktop" to transfer the files, followed by Pavtube to convert them into other formats that Premier can handle. Both software types seem to fail on the exact same files, and the 12 minute mark is a common, almost thematic failure point. Neither one provides any indication (at least, none that I can find) of why, and/or what went wrong, or whether I can do anything to fix it. Each time I have I tried one or more additional attempt, I have always gotten the same result.
    ctivo provides a yellowish "Failed" color and message on its progress bar, with no other info.
    Pavtube doesn't, and I have to check each converted file, to see if it's a good file. On occasion, the converted file size is only a small fraction of the expected number, and I'll know it's bad without checking further. More commonly, I have to check the final seconds of any file, to see if it still has a good picture. If any file conversion fails at some point, the entire screen shifts into static gobbledy-****, and I have never seen any converted file shift back to a good signal after a failure point like that.
    I'm going to start looking into posts and threads at videohelp.com, to see if anyone there can help.

  • Is Premier Elements 12 working on Mac OS 10.9.2?

    I am a professional editor.  My job provides me with a AVID MEDIA COMPOSER.  At home I have a 2008 imac in which I used FCP 6.  Since I upgraded to Maverick, the program is not opening.  The problem, I need to edit a project ASAP.  I am contemplating the Premier Elements as a last minute solution, since the Pro version requires 8GB and mine has only 4. 
    My concern is the fact that I have found people complaining about compatibility problems.  I have OSX version 10.9.2
    Is Premier Elements 12 work on Mavericks? 
    I used 2 cameras.  I will need to match both.  Am I be able to add layers of videos and audios?  Is this program will allow me to isolate the audio of one of the cameras? 
    I ask these questions because I tried to use Imovie and it was a total frustration.  I was hoping premier elements would have a interface similar to the pro version, and would allow me to do precise trims, not approximates like Imovie. 
    Any professional editor out there who could have a word on Elements, the editing and compatibility with Mavericks?

    In both the HD/Library/Application Support and the User/Home/Library/Application Support folders there's an Adobe folder that will have some Bridge support files in it.
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note 1:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
    Note 2:  editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

  • Adobe Premier Elements 10 has stopped working error message/Audio issues

    I'm working on a project for about a week. I almost finished it,  "shared" it to my computer, and watched it thru windows media player.  I thought of something else that I could add to the audio, so I went back into the project in PE10 and put small (2-3 seconds) audio clips on audio track 3.  Once I did that, PE 10 would not allow me to put any audio effects on that track.  (I went into some older longer projects that I have and it allowed me to put effects on any audio track).
    So, I moved my short audio clips to the Narration and Soundtrack tracks.  It finally highlighted the App;y button for the audio effects.  Now, the problem is that I can't play or click onthe timeline or move the timeline indicator without PE10 closing out of my video.  As soon as I try to do anything, it says "Adobe Premier Elements 10 has stopped working" and it closes the program.
    I can open my other projects and everything seems to work fine on those and it doesn't close out, but it won't allow me to do anything in this particular project.
    Again, I have been going into and out of the project for a week and all of the sudden it won't let me work on it.  It's only about a 3 minute project, so I don't know why it would have trouble.
    Oh, and it also un-rendered everything.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

  • Importing from LR5 to Premier Elements 13

    Sorry, I did not see a forum for Premier 13, so I posted here. I figure if you know Premier Pro, you probably can answer this question.
    When I import a still from LR5 with edits, it seems to be imported without the edits. How do I get the photo imported with edits?
    Also, must I resize the photo for best quality in Premier Elements 13 before I import it???

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I understand that edited data in LR5 is stored as a set of directions maintained in the catalog. Is this the "sidecar" you speak of?
    All of my edited photos, whether edited with LR5, Photoshop, or any of my other plug in programs, look great. So, presumably the data is being properly stored in the catalog.
    OK. So, you say that PrE won't see this data. I understand, although it makes no sense as these are Adobe products, and should work seamlessly. Be that as it may, I need to get edited photos into PrE.
    When I right click on the photo and choose export, there is no option to "Export to PrE". I'm not even sure you are saying I should EXPORT photos to PrE. I thought I IMPORT photos via the Organizer, which is what I am doing. And, as you said, PrE is not "seeing" my edits.
    Also, still getting the black bars on right and left side. I will look over what ATR sent, and see if that resolves any issues.

    "Is this the "sidecar" you speak of?"
    No.  Lightroom normally saves all the work you do in what Adobe calls a "catalog" file.  On a PC it ends in ".lrcat".  The work pattern for photographers that do not use Lightroom, use Photoshop instead and elect to use RAW formats end up processing their files through Adobe Camera Raw or "ACR".  In that case, the adjustments are not saved in the original file, but a "sidecar" file of the same filename, but with the extension of ".xmp".  For some, like a pro that is sending a RAW image file through the internet to a client, the pro's work will go with it in the .xmp file.  To make it work a little better for some, Lightroom can make use of the .xmp file. 
    "All of my edited photos, whether edited with LR5, Photoshop, or any of my other plug in programs, look great. So, presumably the data is being properly stored in the catalog."
    Of course they look good.  In Photoshop, you can make your changes, including plug-in changes, and they will disappear if you don't do a "Save" or "Save as..."  If you start in Lightroom and want to edit in Photoshop (with plug-ins) you have choices in the "Edit in" dialog for working on copies or originals.  Most don't like altering their originals so usually pick "Edit copy with Lightroom adjustments".   When you end the Photoshop and Lightroom work, if set up right, it comes back to Lightroom when you Save and exit in Photoshop.  It should be the third iteration:  Orginial, copy to Photoshop and image back from Photoshop. 
    "Be that as it may, I need to get edited photos into PrE."
    I won't defend or explain Adobe's ideas of how things should work, but there is no "Export to.." or "Edit in.." process for directly going to any video editor, including PrE.  The logic is different for video editing.  But there are several ways getting still photos to PrE.  Once you do all your work in Photoshop, plug-ins and Lightroom, the finished product is saved somewhere where you put it.  If the image has extra Lightroom work, you have to "Export" a final/finished product.  There is no "Save" in Lightroom.   Skip Organizer and go direct to PrE and follow the "Add Media > From Files or Folders" sequence.  I do it in batches with copies for speed and convenience.  I can explain that more if you want.
    "Also, still getting the black bars on right and left side"
    That is a function of mismatch between what cameras, TVs and video project think make the perfect rectangle.  Our expectation now is that TV's are widescreen in a ratio of 1920x1080 or 16x9.  To get your your stills to match, it has to be cropped to that ratio.  Re-sizing is a different process where an image of a few thousand pixels up and down can be reduced to fewer pixels.  It can be used in ways to re-size to a ratio that fits, but it is not the same as having control in cropping.   I find it better to do the cropping with the Crop tool in the Lightroom Develop module and I ignore re-sizing.   I often go a step further and make sure my camera is set to take photos at 16x9.
    I'm going to be away from this until much later, maybe tomorrow.  If you want to continue with the Lightroom to PrE flow, it is what I do all the time for both photos and videos.  I use Photshop Elements, Topaz and Nik plug-ins.  It is a delightful system.  My usual output is for Vimeo and I can show you some examples.  I've worked out a pattern where everything starts in Lightroom and works through PrE. 
    The next step for me would be to understand what you intend to deliver your project to.  A TV, YouTube, DVD, iPad or what?  Then perhaps we can get a project set up that will accommodate that, fill it with photos and get something done.
