Why can't I download "Added Content for Adobe Premiere Elements 10"?

I have purchased the dual-packaged Adobe Photoshop elements 10 and Adobe Premiere Elements 10 - Then when launching the Premiere Elements I get a message to download the "content for Adobe Premiere Elements"
I have tried to do this for a couple of hours now, and I have no idea why I can't get a link.... I keep getting referred to pages with no links at all...
Can anyone help?.

Actually, I DOWNLOADED this "bundled" program (as opposed to retail)... and of course, I have no CD's....
But I did figure it out - The "buyer-user" should log in to Adobe and go to https://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&event=displayDownloads There UREKA I found it... and it installed fine.
Hower, I do think your lay-out of the help pages on this matter could be improved.
But thanks again for taking the time to answer and warm regards,
Bill

How do you move Premiere Elements files (scratch disk) when upgrading OS

Hi,
I have just upgraded from Windows Vista 32bit to Windows 7 64bit.
I had to uninstall Premiere Elements 7 to deactivate, so I could reinstall, however now when I open all my projects it says media offline, please locate. I thought all my scratch disk were set up to 'same as project' but can not seem to locate the files in the same folder.
I have hours worth of footage captured through Premiere, any ideas where I will find this captured footage, or the file type at least so I can search my computer? I have all my old folders etc saved in windows.old folder that is created when you upgrade OS, so it must be in there somplace???
Please help!!!

I use a pretty simple setup for my Projects, also grouped by client. The exact layout will depend on whether I will be doing all of the editing on one machine, or will be migrating from computer to computer, via a FW-800 external. After that decision is made, my scheme looks like this:
Root folder = Client Name
     Sub-folder = Project Name
beneath these, I have:
          Videos
          Stills
          Music
          Audio
          SFX
          Capture Files
          Finished AVI's
          Finished AC3's
          and all Scratch Disks
For ultimate performance, one could separate out the Scratch Disks, and maybe even all Video and then all Audio, to separate HDD's, but this method keeps things neatly together, so that the entire Project can be deleted, when done - just delete the Project folder, and all of the sub-folders will go with it.
If I will be migrating, this layout will be on the external, which has had its drive letter assigned in the OS of each computer, so that it appears the same in each. If no migration, then these will be placed on an internal, probably E:\ on any of the computers.
Good luck, and glad that you found your "missing" files,
Hunt

Adding media into Adobe Premiere Elements

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WS8E086945-8338-478a-9083-710C2F9B1DA9. html

OK, you have at least one AV file, that is causing an issue, when Importing to PrE. There may be more. If all are the same CODEC, then just let us know what that CODEC is, as reported by G-Spot.
With some CODEC's, just having them properly installed on the system will not guarantee that PrE can edit that/those CODEC(s).
In general, there are three "types" of CODEC for Video (and similar for Audio, but that is usually simpler):
CODEC's for playback (most fall into this category)
CODEC's for Encoding from a program (fewer here, but still many fall into this category)
CODEC's for editing (small number of CODEC in this category, and it can differ, editing-program to editing-program)
For more info on CODEC's, see this FAQ Entry: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/546811?tstart=0
CODEC's are a very complex subject, and about the time that one learns all the details, then the camera mfgrs. change things up, so it is an on-going process. However, grasping the general concepts, and learning some of the popular CODEC's will be very helpful, if one is editing video. For playback, it is less complex, and many software players will even lead you to a Web site, to download a necessary CODEC for playback. Other players, like VLC Player and MediaPlayer Classic HC (both good and free), contain many of the common CODEC's, so one does not even need to install them on their system.
One temptation is to find CODEC "packs," and install those. However, I warn against just randomly downloading and installing CODEC's, even if they are free. I strongly recommend ONLY installing the exact CODEC, when it is needed. With many CODEC packs, two negative things can happen: as most are free, they have hacked, or reverse-engineered versions of many CODEC's, and will overwrite existing, commercial CODEC's, already on the system. Also, many install all sorts of other "stuff," and some of that can really mess things up for many Adobe programs. Adobe tries to "hide" its MainConcept CODEC's, by using a non-conventional naming scheme. This keeps some of those CODEC packs from overwriting those, but the CODEC pack can still alter the priority of a CODEC in the Registry, and that can cause issues.
When I need a specific CODEC, I try to go to the source, even if it is a CODEC, that I have to buy. Not all free CODEC's are bad, and two great ones are Lagarith Lossless and UT Lossless. I use both for intermediate files, that will be Exported, and then re-edited, perhaps in another program. Free is not necessarily a bad thing, but given a choice between a free version of a CODEC, and a commercial version, from the company that wrote it, I will pay the $'s every time.
Good luck, and hope that helps,
Hunt

Premiere elements 12 Re-using (self made) titles.

Hello,
My name is Stephan and i am new here. I used to work with an other program but i had enough of the eternal problems. I decided to buy Premiere elements 12 (Dutch version) and i am very glad i did so.
My question is about the use of titles. I made a small title and would like to copy that and use it a little bit further in the movie. But changing the tekst in the first title also changes the tekst in the second (or other copied) titles. In some way the parts are linked withe eachother and this is of course not what i would like. I tried to change the name of the title, but still all the other titles change also. What can i do about this?
Also i made a title myself with some animation and i would like to uste that in other movies. I saw something from Elements 11 in which they said that you must select the title and export it as an title file. In 12 i can not do that. The Export button can not be selected.
Can someone help me??
Many thanks, Stephan

Stephan
What computer operating system are you running Premiere Elements 12 on? If you have not already, please update from 12 to 12.1 via a project's Help Menu/Update. Just background information for now.
The immediate issues...
"Change one title change others" is a classical happening since you are working with titles with the same file name. In Project Assets, right click the title's thumbnail, select duplicate to duplicate the title, and then drag the duplicate to the Timeline.
The secret to success in saving the title created in the Titler is to
a. With Titler closed, go to Expert workspace, Project Assets, and select/highlight the thumbnail for the title created in the Titler.
b. now when you go to File Menu/Export/Title, Title will be active and ready for use.
If you have not seen the following, it may be helpful to you as you move forward with your Premiere Elements projects and its titles.

Premiere Elements 12 Project

I want to give the Details first as I see that is what is needed to get any help.
Brand New Lenovo Laptop, app 5 weeks old. - It has windows 7 Professional - 64 bit operating system, 146 gb free - 8 GB Memory - ( Just added 4 it started with 4)
Premiere Elements 12 - Got my first video on this system about 1/2 way done. ( I edited once before on movie maker and finished it on Premiere 12) It is very large with lots of video clips and stills from about 9 different people, so I am guessing, 9 different cameras, Ipods and tape. ( have not worked on the one from tape yet, it is down the road, Right now when I play it, it does not move, the audio does, but the pictures do not change. I have rendered a lot.
I know I probably should have made several smaller videos and joined them together, but I was afraid after doing some research that I would not be able to put them together. I am putting together a lot of our family experiences from the Colorado Flood 2013, and I have gathered the video clips and stills from family members, neighbors and friends.
I have not been saving it on an external drive, so my personal feeling right now is that I am getting a clogged up disk and I need to know exactly HOW to get the stuff transferred to a external, but I do not know where to start.
I can see a lot of build up like when it renderers, saved and etc. I also heard on the Premeire On-line class that I should clear out the cacus, I think it was but I have not done that, I am a little nervous to do the wrong thing.
That about sums it up, so hope you can set me straight on a few things. Need any more info just ask!!
My question is what do I need to do now to get this so it moves again?

Premiere Elements 12 Windows.
Some miscellaneous information and then some comments specific to your workflow.
1. You can create a title in the Premiere Elements Titler, close the Titler, go to the Project Assets, highlight the title's thumbnail there, and go to File Menu/Export/Titles to save the title to the hard drive as a .prtl file. This file can be used in any Premiere Elements project. When you want to use that saved title in a particular project, then use Premiere Elements Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the title to the Timeline.
2. The classical way to associate text/title with a photo is to move the Timeline Indicator to the place where you want the text/title to begin.
Your photo or video is on Video Track 1. Then Text Menu/New Text/Default Text to open the Titler. The text file will automatically go to the position of the Timeline Indicator and Video Track 2.
3. If you have a "title page", I am assuming your have text on a transparent background. You can add images to a "title page"
a. When you are creating a title page in the Titler, there is an option to "Add Image", see Text Menu/Add Image.
b. You can use multiple video tracks. On each video track, for each photo, scale down and position photo accordingly. And, have title on above track, with title position accordingly.
c. There is always the Picture in Picture Effect (PiP). See fx Effects/Presets and explore and experiment with the static and not so statis PiP options for 25% and 40%.

How can I turn off background features in Premiere Elements 8?

There are two features that run in the background while you're working in Premiere Elements 8 which, while useful, can interfere with your other work. So, if you find your computer running sluggishly, you may want to try disabling them.
Background Rendering renders all non-DV footage or footage to which effects or transitions have been applied on your timeline automatically. (Clips which appear on the timeline with a red line above them need to be rendered in order to show at full quality.) To turn off this feature, go to Edit/Preferences and uncheck the Background Rendering option.
To manually render your video, press Enter. The red lines above your clips will turn green when rendering is complete.
The Organizer also runs a background feature called the Auto Analyzer. To disable it, go to the Organizer's Edit/Preferences and select the Auto Analyzer page. Uncheck this option.
Note that the Auto Analyzer creates Smart Tags, which are necessary in order for the program to Auto Enhance your clips. If you turn off the Auto Analyzer, then, you will also disable the Auto Enhance feature.
Finally, as an added tweak, go to Premiere Elements' Edit/Preferences and set Timeline Scrolling to Page Scroll. The default setting (Smooth Scrolling) continually moves the timeline as your video plays, wasting unnecessary resources.

That is not standard behavior. You may have installed an extension that causes it.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Premiere Elements 11 won't launch

G'day,
I downloaded the trial version of PRE11 a few weeks ago, but I couldn't get it to run. Upon launch I get the welcome screen with two choices, to launch the Organizer or the Video Editor, but neither of these actually start. It seems as it is trying though, as I see a scrolling line below my choice after clicking it. No error code or anything like it, it simply won't start (and I don't see any process starting either).
Nevertheless, a few days ago I bought PRE11 (Win/Mac DVD, English) and installed it. Exactly the same behaviour as with the trial, apart from one thing. When I try to lanuch the Video Editor I get the licence agreement. After agreeing, it's the same thing though, nothing happens.
I've read this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4773135) and tried to see if I had any of the symptoms described, or if any of the suggested solutions worked. So far, no luck. I tried Large_Donkey's solution (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4893868#4893868) with the msvcr80.dll and msvcr100.dll files, but it didn't make any difference. Same thing with VDOsurfer's reply (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4903592#4903592) I also tried primarykeytech's suggestion (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4905283#4905283) and downloaded Dependency Walker and ran both Premiere Elements 11.exe and Premiere Elements.exe. At first, it reported that IEShims.dll and gpscv.dll was missing/couldn't be loaded, so I added these to the Premiere Elements folder. Then I got a message (still while running Premiere Elements.exe in Dependency Walker) saying that sysntfy.dll was missing, so I added this one as well to the Premiere Elements folder. After this, I still get three messages in Dependency Walker, but no further description on which files it can't find:
"Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module."
And none of these changes made any difference, I tried to launch the Video Editor and/or Organizer, but it's the same thing; won't launch, no error message. I've now resetted everything back to the way it was on installation, and tried to continue finding any solution.
Some specs, even if maybe not all of these are relevant. If any other specs are needed, just inform me.
Motherboard: Asus P6T Deluxe V2
CPU: Intel i7 950 3,06GHz
PSU: Corsair HX 650W
RAM: Corsair XMS 12GB DDR3 2000MHz

Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, I tried the blacklist approach by adding a "blacklist.txt" file to the VST plugins folders I have, but to no avail. I also read the last post you made in the "Failure of Premiere to Launch - One Possibility VST's" thread, with the answers from Adobe Engineering. As that post was made almost 2 years ago, I somehow think this wouldn't be an issue in PrE 11 anymore?
Anyway, while trying to launch Premiere Elements.exe ~200 times the last 24h, I've not noticed anything strange in Event Viewer, no errors or warnings connected to the launch of PrE (or, for that matter, no errors or warnings at all during the time I try to launch the program). One thing I did notice, though, is that the process Premiere Elements 11.exe actually starts (I chose not to display the welcome screen every time, but to launch the Video Editor right away) but then quickly terminates. Utually it manage to get between 15-20MB of memory before it crashes and terminate the process, only takes 1 or 2 seconds from launch to termination.
Slowly losing my hope to actually discover the cause, as I'm shooting in the dark evey time (not getting any error messages or hints on what actually fails). Really needed to use PrE this week, maybe have to find some free alternative on the interwebs.
Regards Henrik
Edit: Searching deeper on the Adobe forums regarding VST scanning issues with PrPro/E, and it baffles me how long this error seems to have been going on, even if it's not 100% certain that is the error in my case.
Edit2: Once again a shot in the dark, but I'm thinking my troubles may be due to multiple hard drives? As things are scattered over 3 discs (OS on one, programs on the second one and personal data on the third one) this might cause some path/reference issues? I was thinking this since Depencency Walker gives me the following error messages:
"Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module."
And it also states that it can't find IESHIMS.DLL and GPSVC.DLL (a road I already have been down earlier). This got me thinking PrE can't find the correct files from where it is installed (E:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiere Elements 11). On the other hand, I'm getting the exact same error messages on Photoshop CS5 (which runs fine), and the same two dll files seems to be missing. Even tried running a few other programs that work, such as games, though Depencency Walker, and even they seems to miss these dll files.

Where to find Premiere Elements 10 serial number?

I need to move Premiere Elements 10 from a desktop to my new laptop. From what I've read, I'm supposed to download it from Adobe, and insert the serial number at the appropriate point in time. However I don't know where to find the serial number. Where? Thanks!

DressageVid
Looks like John closed your new thread on your Premiere Elements 10 installation issues and did not leave a referral link to this prior thread.
But, I hunted for this prior thread and found it. Perhaps John can reopen your new thread that he closed long enough for him to insert a referral link to the one we are in now?
But, moving forward....
Does the situation still exist at this time where your serial number as displayed at Adobe for your purchased Premiere Elements 10 is being
cited as Invalid during your installation of it?
Have you tried the installation with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? If so, then Adobe is the only one who can help you with this
serial number and activation issue. See if you can get it to do that even though the current version 12 is not involved. Our best
chances are under the Adobe Chat category of "Orders" or the Adobe Chat category "Serial number issues or Activating My Product".
The challenge is to find an active Adobe Chat link.

CREATING "MASTER" PROJECT WITH PREMIERE ELEMENTS (PRE)

I am creating a new thread following up on earlier questions re Premiere Elements 8.0 (PRE).
I have created (authored?) 14 projects with music using PRE and burned each on 1 DVD. I did not save to a folder, but went to Share and Burn Disc. They show well on TV from an ordinary DVD player. Now I must combine these projects into 3 "master" projects on 3 DVDs and burn multiple copies to send to former members of my Boy Scout Troop. See the chart below. I thought (silly me) that I could do that straightforwardly with PRE. I am going to start following suggestions from Bill Hunt and Nealeh.

Hey, those ain't "newbie" questions. The first one gets posted to the Forum Comments forum weekly. The second one, well I should have posted my normal detail, but got lazy - mea culpa, mea culpa.
1.) This ARTICLE should step you through the processes with the e-mails. If you have any questions, let us know. There are several places, where e-mail notification can be turned ON and OFF. Some are global, and some are specific to threads.*
2.) Ah, the ImgBurn site. The top 2/3 are all ads. Hey, it's great free software, so who can blame 'em? Scroll down to where the page has the various versions and what they addressed. There is a Download button there (well below those ads). That is what you want. Normally, I mention the scrolling way down page, but you caught me here.
Good luck,
Hunt
* Going back a few months, while trying to help another user on the Forum Comments forum, I got hit with a global change in my e-mail settings. I got about 1,000/day, for every forum that I participate in - think 1,000 x PS, PrPRo, Encore, InDesign, Illustrator, Audition, PrE and all of their sub-fora! Fortunately, it only took about 3 days for Adobe to get that fixed.

Premiere Element 7 Slow?

I have a quad core Q6600 based computer with 2GB of memory and running Windows Vista ultimate.
I have Premiere element 3 and recently downloaded the trial for premiere element 7. When I try to export to MPEG, the Premiere 3 runs on 2 cores of the quad where as version 7 runs on all 4 cores. However, version 7 takes more than twice as much time to encode to MPEG. The MPEG settings and the video content is exactly the same.
Has anyone seen this difference? Does anyone know why it is slow and how this can be improved?
Best Regards

I have not optimized Vista. I will try that. Thanks
However, I should have added. I tested Premiere Element 7 on a Windows XP (SP2) based computer (3GHz with HyperThreading) and it took much longer than Premiere Element 3.
Are there other MPEG2 codecs that can be used?

Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere elements to shut down. We wil attempt to save your current project. This error occures when Im adding a .mov movie.

Hello everybody
I have a new laptop and when I want to add a .mov movie to Adobe premiere elements, this error occures. Im trying to solve this problem now for days but I dont know how to continue. Im working with Windows XP, Version 2002, T2250, 0.99 RAM and an old Premiere elements 2004 version.
On my old computer I was able to add this same .mov movies, but not on the new one.
I also tried to convert this .mov movies, but the quality was to bad...
Does anybody know this problem? Im appreciating every little advice and help.
Thanks a lot
Sabine

Sorry for all the delays getting your thread moving forward. I suspect that it got lost in the daily thread traffic and Adobe's major updating of the forums.
Do your issues still exist. If they are the same as when you posted on May 8th, then
1. When you used HandBrake for the converslion of your .mov file, did you leave the Container = Mp4. And under Video Tab, did you set the Videc Codec = H.264 (x264)? All you needed to do at that point was dot the Constant for the frame rate and designate a frame rate and select the Start button and wait for the Queue Finished message in the progress bar at the bottom left of the HandBrake workspace.
2. What model iPhone is the video coming from? Your iPhone is probably giving you HD video (probably 1080p). So increasing the computer's installed RAM from 2.00 to 4 GB would be expected to help the overall workflow. Only if you have a 64 bit computer operating system, 8 GB installed would be even better. The 4 GB installed RAM is the maximum supported by a 32 bit computer operating system.
3. Specially for
The movie is stopping and jumping.
When you are playing back the Timeline content, are you looking at the "rendered Timeline"? Is there an red line over the content during that playback? If so, press the Enter key and wait for the render process to complete. This rendering process gives you the best possible preview of what you are seeing. The red line could be due to your editing the content, or it could be due to an incorrect selection of project settings. If you supply information about your video properties, we can suggest the best possible project settings. I do not recall seeing that you mentioned what version of Premiere Elements that you are using 1, 2, 3, 4 or other?
Please review the above and then let me know what supplemental information and/or clarification would help.
Thank you.

Premiere Elements 4.0 stops working when adding a title

Whenever I add a title, it quickly goes to "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"
What to do? Thank you in advance for any input on the matter.

Let me premise my responses by, Prem Elem had been working fine and this issue just started not too long ago
Processor: 3500+ AMD Athlon 64 processor
RAM: 1GB Free? Not sure what you mean.
Defrag space: just analyzed. All ok
OS: Vista, not sure if fully updated...need to check
QT: just updated
Camcorder: Panasonic PV-GS80
Proj Settings: Not sure what you mean, "New Project?"
I'll make sure Vista is updated. Thinking about getting more RAM. It does say 1GB for on the "System Reqs" for Prem Elem
Thanks

Error when adding .MOV file to Premiere Elements 10

Im trying to add videos taken on my ipad to a new project in Premier Elements 10, but I get this error: Add Media Failure = The importer reported a generic error.
I've read that .mov is just some sort of container and I might need to download a codec of some sort. Has anybody already solved this problem and can just dumb it down for me? Im new to all this - its just a hobby, so Im not very technical.
Thanks!

If you open the MOV in Media Info or G Spot, what does it show as its resolution, frame rate and codec?
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
As you've said, the MOV suffix itself doesn't tell you much. Inside that package could be any of hundreds of possible codecs, most of which won't digest well in Premiere Elements.
Meantime, are you on a Mac or PC? What operating system are you using? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime on your machine, per the program's requirements?
