Add media in album order

In previous versions of Premier, I could add media from the organizer in album order. In Premier 12, this no longer seem possible. Am I overlooking some new and different way to do this, or has this feature been removed from 12?

My main focus has been to get Album photos on the Timeline in the order that they appeared in the Album created in Elements Organizer 12.
In what I wrote previously, I did not offer you companion Project Assets details.
Way 1.
1. In Elements Organizer workspace, create Elements Organizer 12 Album
2. Order Photos in Album there, select all at one time. The ordering of the photos and their file names for the test were
July 4 2011.jpg
May 5 2010.jpg
August 8 2012.jpg
April 2 2009.jpg
3. Right click anywhere in the selection, then, in the drop down list, click on Edit with Premiere Elements.
4. Premiere Elements 12 opens to present all the photos on the Timeline ordered as they were in the Elements Organizer 12 Album
But, the copies of the files in Project Assets are not ordered according to Album Order. If a customized ordering of the photos in Project Assets
is required, then create a folder in Project Assets and drop photos one at a time into the folder according to the Album Order established in Elements Organizer 12.
Way 2
1. In the Premiere Elements workspace, Add Media/Elements Organizer.
2. Select The Album under Local Albums in the left column
3. With the mouse curse, click on each of the photos in a sort order of by selection technique
first select July 4 2011.jpg
then May 5 2010.jpg
then August 8 2012.jpg
then April 2 2009.jpg
4. When all the files have been selected, then click on Add Files
5. Premiere Elements 12 opens to present all the photos on the Timeline ordered as they were in the Elements Organizer 12 Album
But, the copies of the files in Project Assets are not ordered according to Album Order. If a customized ordering of the photos in Project Assets
is required, then create a folder in Project Assets and drop photos one at a time into the folder according to the Album Order established in Elements Organizer 12.
Way 3
Order photos in a folder on the hard drive and then import the whole folder into Premiere Elements Project Assets. From Project Assets, the whole folder is dragged to the Timeline where it presents with all the photos ordered as they were in the folder. Ordering of the photos in the folder can be achieved by special renaming or numbering of photos to obtain ordering independent of date taken and original file naming. I prefer this route when I have a Time Lapse Premiere Element project.
Please review and consider.
Thanks.

How to add media in the album order?

I spent some time to organize the media in Organizer album, but when I open the album to add my media, it appears to be mixed. Is there the way to keep it in the album order?

Seems like this question was posted some time ago, and no one ever replied. So my reply is probably of little use, but I'll post it anyway. When you are viewing the Album components in the PSE Organizer, I assume you are viewing them in the sequence you want to load them on the PRE timeline.
If that is the case, by selecting all of the clips/images, and the clicking on Edit > Video Editor at the bottom of the window should open the clips/images in the same order they appear in the Album.

How do I insert additional clips into my video timeline in Elements 13? When clicking 'add media' it added the clips at end of video rather than in their appropriate position. Could not 'cut and paste'.

I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
video compression = MPEG1
audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
To be continued.

Album Order...

Hi, I have a collection of Big Shiny Tunes albums, and they recently released #10, and when I add it to the order, it slots it after Big Shiny Tunes 1 and before Big Shiny Tunes 2. Is there a way to fix this, or do I have to set it to Big Shiny Tunes 01, and so on?

Well it's not possible to do that; you can suggest it to Apple by going here http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html who knows maybe they'll put that feature in the next update.

How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?

To be absolutely honest, I don't really understand what this box is for, so I shall just use it to repeat and expand on my question. (I have already sent a "Feedback" comment on the same topic).
How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?
It seems to me that there is something very basic wrong with the way iTunes handles CD Tracks.
Professionally produced CD tracks are seldom if ever in a randomised order. Why then does iTunes seem unable to display the tracks in the order they appear on the original CD source - whether from a personally owned CD or from a download from the iTunes Store?
Some music demands a specific, non-alphabetic sequence in order to make sense. Why does it seem that iTunes only offers Alphabetic, or reverse alphabetic order - both of which make a nonsense of the original, often intended order of tracks?
Why not replace the so-called "cover-art" in the bottom left hand corner if the iTunes window - which, while it may look attractive to some, gives the barest of information concerning the original disc, with a list of the original CD tracks in their original order, so that the user can easily reestablish the order in which they should be played.
As I would expect legibility might be a problem with doing this, why could not the original contents, (in their original order), at least, be displayed when the "cover art" is double clicked-on - the result of which at present gives me an enlarged version of the "Cover Art". While on the subject of the contents of the source disc, what about all the album notes which someone takes trouble to write in order to increase the appreciation of the music on the CD and the listener's general background knowledge of the artists involved. Such notes, it seems to me, have considerable intrinsic value in their own account. I would, I think, normally be prepared to buy such "Sleeve notes" - so long as a "taster" was supplied (as it is for the music) - for something like the cost of a single 'Tune" on iTunes.
These two aspects let Apple iTunes down enormously, in my opinion. I think that by chopping even quite protracted sequences of music up into bits does no one any favours - except perhaps Apple's already quite substantial bank balance. People have to be aware that two and a half, to three and a half minutes is a very short time to develop a piece of worthwhile music, and that there are many, many composers, not all of whom are alive today who have written music that huge masses of mankind value for the enrichment of their lives and the human condition in general.
Please make the viewing of iTunes tracks in their correct order by default possible. By all means have the alphabetical variations available as offering a different approach to the music, but not the sole approach to it - PLEASE.
Frustratedly yours
Alan Whitaker
PS I work at my old 24" iMac Intel Core 2 machine which runs OS "Tiger" - because it is more beautiful to look at, the screen is more pleasant to work on, and because, in some ways it is more capable (it will run FreeHand MX without needing a "patch"), than my more recent 21.5" which runs "Snow Leopard". (I don't find it that much slower, either).

Dear Mike
Thanks for the support. I am utterly amazed that after all the hype about how good iTunes is that it cannot play a downloaded CD in the correct order, and that what that order should be is not available directly from within one's own iTunes installation. (I know that one can go back to the iTunes Store to check what the order should be, but having downloaded the tracks surely iTunes is clever enough to retrieve this important information.
My iTunes to differ from yours in that I have also noticed that it seems unable to download copies of my "talking books" in the correct order either. But in my case it downloads them - from a CD - in order, but with the first track downloaded first - so that it appears at the bottom of the column of tracks so that it would get played last! (At least this is, while being inexplicable, a relatively "logical" bit of blundering and because of this is relatively easy to put right!).
I like many genres of music, some of which are not really programmed except perhaps by the artist performing them. I know that Frank Sinatra was very careful to programme his album songs to obtain a particular effect and in relation to the keys of the music. iTunes presumes to know better.
Film scores may be totally randomly put together, in some cases, but in others the order is vital to one's appreciation of the music as a whole and how it relates to the plot of the film.
In symphonic music most works are divided into sections and are conceived by the composer that way. Some individual sections may gain a life of their own if played separately, but they are never complete in the sense that the composer envisaged them without being placed in their proper context.
Opera and probably most choral music too, is similar except that the words may well become meaningless if the order is changed at the whim of a piece of ill-written computer code, while ballet music has to be heard totally within its sequential context or it becomes meaningless.
Finally, I would venture that iTunes, by jumbling up the order of the tracks as recorded on a CD, does an immense disservice, not only to the music on a particular CD, but to music in general, by expressing everything in terms of "Songs" - which it seems to interpret as stand-alone items of between 2 and 4 minutes whatever the genre. Even the way the iTunes publicity speaks of how many "songs" it can store instead of how many minutes or hours of recorded sound. This has to be another brick in the wall of "dumming-down" of people's expectations, and the shortening of their attention spans.
I don't know about anyone else, but I feel betrayed by Apple over this. Perhaps the look, feel and general presentation of an item are not the most desirable features of a consumer product. Maybe it should be judged more on it fitness for the purpose for which it was sold. There is one other possibility - that Apple are trying to redefine "Music" - and that everything that lasts longer than about 3.5 minutes or is in the form of what could for want of a better term be called symphonic in the broadest sense is something else - not "Music" within Apple's new definition, at all!
Well that's off my chest! now I can get down to creating some sort of order in my iTunes Libraries, knowing that I have to reconsult all the sources in order to confirm the source playing order.
Anyway thanks again. At least I know that it is not just me

When I import an album into ITunes...it puts the song list in alphabetical order. How do I get it to import the album order?

Any suggestions on how I can import an album without the songs going to alphabetical order? The last few times I have imported....I cannot get the play list to come up in the album order.

Any other things this could be?

How can I play multiple albums from same artist in album order on iPhone 4?

Just purchased an iPhone 4 from Verizon. When I select an Artist and then choose "All Songs", the only choice I am provided is to play the songs in alphabetic order. I would prefer to play them in the original album order. Is there a setting that can be changed to accomplish this?

For those who arrive here later than this answer, the app is now called "Continue" & is available free with addware or paid without.

How do I add a photo album so that it can be used on apple tv share on tv. It only shows albums that were on when we setup the apple TV ?

I have been trying to add additional picture albums to my apple TV menu so that we can view then on our TV but not sure how to do that as when I turn on the Apple Tv control the album I thought I added doesn't show up. Could use some help telling me how to do this and also to remove the older albums.

You can use the shift key to select all of the songs on the album and then drag and drop them onto your iPod. Rerfer to this thread for instructions on how to view the side bar.

How can I add media from an external hard drive into Premiere Elements? Please answer.

Alright, so I have looked all over the website and the way adobe's frequently asked questions about adding media did nothing for me. I am editing a large full length video in premiere elements 13 and so I would like to add media from my external hard drive and edit from that location. Is that possible? Because I do not have enough space on my laptop to keep hundreds and hundreds of GB of videos on my internal hard drive. I have looked on how to add media from the hard drive location and adobe says to add it using the files and folders tab, but when I select it to add it, it says I need to use the Video Importer. So I go to use the video importer and have no way of figuring out how to select my hard drive. Any ideas?

Spencer WhiteOut
Thank you for the follow up with the information
it is a MacBook pro retina . OS X Operating system. External hard drive is connected by the USB cable. fat32.
It is my understanding, whether you have Premiere Elements on Windows or Mac, if you have files on an external hard drive, you do not select
Add Media and head for a choice that includes Video Importer. Instead, you select Add Media/Files and Folders and navigate to the external hard drive to select your file(s) for import into the project.
But, you seem to be saying that when you do you are met with a message to use the Video Importer. Does the message give you any other related information on why you are being detoured to Video Importer since Video Importer does not import from an external hard drive for me or you. It does for me using Add Media to get the files from my external hard drive into a project. I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so my Mac information is from what I have read. Based on that...
1. Please evaluate the format of your external hard drive. Please review the following if you have not considered this point before.
http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-set-up-an-external-hard-drive-for-use-with-os-x/
There are many online articles on this matter which would point you away from Fat32 as the format for a external hard drive Mac.
2. From what you wrote, you are not dealing with a DVD drive so I see no way to implicate one of them in this issue. You are dealing with an
USB external hard drive and not a USB external DVD/CD drive. Correct?
Please review and consider.
We will be watch for further news from you.
Thank you.

IPod touch 5th gen... play all songs on all albums by an artist in album order?

Hi.
On my old ipod classic I can play all songs on all albums by an artist in album order. Is there a way to do this on the ipod touch 5th gen? I can see how to play all songs by an artist but only in alphabetical order, not one album after another...
Thanks,
J.

You can't please everyone ... some people want to be able to find a particular song by an artist and can't remember the name of the album from which it comes. By sorting all songs by an artist alphabetically you can go right to it. But I agree with you, I'd much prefer album order. Submit your feedback via the link provided, and yes the workaround is to create an On The Go playlist, or create one in iTunes.

Adobe Premiere Elements 12: Add Media Failure: The Importer Reported a Generic Error

I am trying to add a MOV file to PE 12 I and keep recieving and Add Media Failure Error stating "The Importer Reported a Generic Error". I have added other MOV files without any issue so I don't know why some MOV will work and others won't. The only common characteristic I've found is that the MOV files that won't work are files that were recorded with my SLR camera. The location of the files I've added/tried adding are on my external hard drive.

bunzondarun
Try importing a few of the problematic files from a Local Disc C location like Videos and determine if problem presists. How is the external hard drive formatted, NTFS or FAT32?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 12? And, on what computer operating system is Premiere Elements 12 running? Are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 12 as Run As Administrator and/or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
What specifically is the video compression for the problematic files? And, what is the brand/model/settings for the camera that is recording these videos?
More later.

Premiere Elements 12 - Add media webcam "no device control"

Hi, I have Adobe Premiere Elements 12 and I am trying to record live using Logitech C920 Webcam. Whenever I try to "add media", even though it recognizes both image and audio devices in the webcam, it shows "no device control" and the screen is black. How can I solve this situation? Thank you.

franciscoptm
Just some thoughts....
Premiere Elements 12 assumed on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
Add Media
Webcam or WDM
In the Premiere Elements 12 Capture Window, there are 2 tiny arrows pointing right at the top right of the Capture Window. You can access
Capture Settings and Device Control there.
Click on Capture Settings to bring up the Project Settings dialog. Click on Capture in the left column in the Project Settings dialog..
In the Project Settings dialog, you should see "Capture Format: WDM Capture" and to the right of that a Settings tab.
Click on that Settings tab to bring up the WDM Capture Preview Settings dialog.
In the WDM Capture Preview Settings dialog, assure that you have check mark for
During Preview
Preview Video on Desktop
Preview Audio on Desktop
During Capture
Preview Video on Desktop
Preview Audio on Desktop
Also, if you go to the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/Device Control, what choices do you have
and which one is selected?
We will be looking for your results. I have seen a video tutorial on Premiere Elements 12 working with the webcam that you appear
to be using and all seems to be working.
