Adobe Elements 12 won't recognise my camera, Panasonic HDC SD 800.

I've recently downloaded Adobe Elements 12 because iMovie won't recognise my Panasonic HD video camera. I installed the Elements software because I wanted to do some video editing to a couple of recordings that I did the other day. I connected my camera via USB link to my MacBook Pro, (I downloaded the Mac version of Elements), and it still won't recognise the camera, even though it is a very expensive top of the range product. The model name of the video camera is Panasonic HDC-SD-800, and my biggest fear now is that it's the Macbook itself that won't recognise the camera, and I've just probably wasted a lot of money for the software. Can anyone help?

This is an AVCHD camcorder and, if you have it properly configured for your OSX to recognize, Premiere Elements will also interface with it using Add Media/From Flip or Camera (which opens the Video Importer).
Have you opened the Video Importer?
Is your camcorder turned on and set to VTR and is it configured to interface with your computer? (If so, it should show up as a device in Finder. Does it?)

Photoshop Elements 9 won't update, including camera raw

I have Elements 9. It currently has camera raw 6.1. I need at least 6.3. I have tried EVERYTHING to download the updates and they don't work and after downloading them, they say they fail.
Essentially, when I go to "Help" and run the "Updates" provided by Adobe, they all fail.
I just want to edit my raw photos on my nikon d3100.
I bought this product, you should provide updates that actually work. If you tell me that my camera will only work with a product that I yet have to pay $70 for... I will be ticked.

I use a Nikon d610 and my Photoshop Elements 10 won't open in camera raw. How can I fix it? The camera version is 6.7.0339

i'm using a Nikon D610 now and Photoshop Elements 10 won't open files in camera raw. How can I fix the issue? The version of camera raw is 6.7.0339

Hi,
The D610 requires camera raw 8.3 which is not compatible with your PSE 10.
You need to upgrade to PSE 12 (or later) or use the free Adobe DNG converter. The converter will take a flder containg your NEF files and converte them to DNG files. The DNG files can then be used by PSE 10.

Adobe Elements 9 won't open new project.

My version of Adobe Elements 9, bought in April 2011 for my PC with Windows 7, won't allow me to open a new project. All I get is a greyed out prompt that won't go anywhere. It will open a prior project. I haven't used the program in about 9 months. This is the video part of the pacage, not Photshop, which seems to function fine. (Although at the advice of a for pay tech advice forum I reinstalled it afater deleting several of it's directories.) I have reinstalled Elements, updated the flash player and run an Elements 9 update. Ideas?

Adobe elements 13 won't get past sign in after installer is done ...without sign in, no completion of installation

Adobe Premiere Pro doesn't recognise Sony camera

When I connect my Sony DCR-TRV245E Digital8 camcorder using the iLink (IEEE 1394) connection both Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 running under Windows XP Pro 32 bit and Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 running under Windows 7 Pro 64 bit recognise and control the camera well.
However, if I connect the same camera using the USB connection, neither version of Premiere Pro under either version of Windows will recognise it.
And, when I connect my newer Sony HDR-TD30VE camcorder, which only has a USB connection, neither version of Premiere Pro under either version of Windows will recognise it.
Can anyone advise?

Many thanks for your posting.
That was very helpful of you.
I take it you mean that when the Sony HDR-TD30VE camcorder is being used, the memory cards have to be copied onto the hard disc without using the Premiere Pro software; and then imported into Premiere Pro from there; and that Premiere Pro itself cannot control the camera directly.

Trial version of Elements 13 won't recognise my printer. Anyone else had this problem?

I'm running a trial version of Elements 13 and cannot print either a PSD file or JPG file. I get an error message that it does not recognise the default printer. I'm able to print emails and Word documents, so it is undoubtedly an Elements issue.

Hello,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused. This issue has been fixed in Elements 13.1. Please try updating your application to free 13.1 update.
You may refer to this article for the same: Photoshop Elements Help | Printer errors with Photoshop Elements 13
Let me know if you are still facing this issue.

Mac won't recognise my camera

My Nikon D700 has become invisible to my new Mac. I managed to download some photos at first, but now Adobe Bridge (CS5) is telling me 'None detected' in the 'get photos from camera' list, & the camera is not seen by the Finder either. Can anyone advise what to do; I've never had this problem with any PC running Windows!

Do these two resets:
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
PRAM RESET
Zap the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Premiere Elements 7 won't recognise a .avi file, and only reads the audio of the file. Help?

Hello, so here is my predicament:
I own Premiere Elements 7, licenesed and all. Totally legit.
It is reading .mp4 files, at least, that's the only other video file type I've used. It is reading the video of that file.
But for some reason, when I drag a .avi file into the software, it reads the file type as 'audio' when it is obviously a video file! It doesn't recognise the video of the file at all.
When I drag it into the timeline, it only shows the audio! Video section is empty.
Why is this happening?
Screenshots of the problem attached!!

What is the source of this AVI file? Is it from a miniDV camcorder, captured over a FireWire connection?
AVIs from non-camcorder sources can use any of thousands of codecs, most of which are not compatible with Premiere Elements. Open the file in a program like G Spot and post the specs for audio and video codecs, frame rate, dimensions, etc., and we may be able to suggest a file converter.

Hit 'use other' now iphoto won't recognise my camera

I got a new camera & when opening iPhoto & it asked me if I wanted to use iphoto with that camera or 'use other' & in my rush I hit 'use other' (Which was a mistake, yesterday I hit 'decide later' as I was still looking at the software that came with my camera to decide whether or not to use it)
Now, I can't import from the camera from the file menu, which I could do before I said 'use other'. I can only import by hitting the 'import' button, which then imports everything from the camera. I want to be able to only import selected files, which in the past (with my old camera) I did through the file menu.
How can I undo that choice & get my camera back? It doesn't show up on the desktop as a removable volume any more.
Thanks

No Canon cameras and several Kodak cameras don't show on the desktop - a choice of their makers. An alternative is to use a USB Card Reader. Safer and saves wear and tear on your Camera too.
To selectively import, use Image Capture - in your Applications Folder - to select and move the files to the desktop, then import them from there.

Re: Can you import 1080 60P material in Elements 11, as an example from a Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder?

It is not about a slow computer (míne is new and fast) or an apple computer (I use windows 8) but it's about video quality and editing usability. Down under are the specifications of my camera, you can see the panasonic has different options and the MOV 50p had better quality (because of the higher bitrate), it is easier to use then the highly compressed AVCHD with video editing and I can use it also on a MAC (if I would like to). That is because I use MOV (and professionals like it too). So I need a MOV 50P setting and nog the AVCHD setting (I already installed the AVCHD setting as described above). It is true the panasocic is new and it is not very common in the consumer market to use MOV (most camcorders use AVCHD indead) and most DSLR don't have the 50p resolution yet it is still rare these days.
I hope there is anybody with a solution (I wish someone good give me a MOV 50p setting for PE11 and I'm happy!)
these are the video specifications of the Panasonic GH3
MOV (H.264) resolution, frame and bit rates
• 1920x1080 (60p/50p): 50Mbps
• 1920x1080 (30p/25p): 50Mbps (IPB), 72Mbps (All-I)
• 1920x1080 (24p): 50Mbps (IPB), 72Mbps (All-I)
• 1280x720 (60p/50p): 50Mbps (IPB), 72Mbps (All-I)
• 640x480 (24p): 10Mbps
MP4 (H.264) resolution, frame and bit rates
• 1920x1080 (24p): 50Mbps
• 1920x1080 (30p/25p): 20Mbps
• 1280x720 (30p/25p): 10Mbps
• 640x480 (30p/25p): 4Mbps
AVCHD resolution, frame and bit rates
• 1920x1080 (60p/50p): 28Mbps
• 1920x1080 (60i/50i): 24/17/13Mbps
• 1920x1080 (24p): 24/17Mbps
• 1280x720 (60p/50p): 17/13Mbps
Audio
44.1kHz Mono (Internal Mic), Linear PCM
File Formats
MOV, MP4, AVCHD
I will continue at a new discussions (because originally it's about panasonic 60p and that is indeed AVCHD like most camcorders and that solutions works):

One of the beauties of Non Linear Editors is that at final output rendering, it goes to the source. It is not rendered twice.
The single most confusing subject I've run into trying to learn editing is how this works. Here is what I think happens.
First, you have to have a project setting that accepts your source files so that you can work in real time preview with smoothness. The computer is doing "real time project rendering" for preview. So, if Ann's suggestion works during the editing process, you're fine. In other words, you may not NEED an exact match between your source footage and your project preset. Let PrE pick the best it can when you slide the first clip to the timeline.
Second, when it is time to make your final product(s), you set the "output render" or "transcode" setting in the Share+Publish area. You might need something optimized for YouTube, an iPhone or Hollywood. The editing software then looks at what you have been doing in real time, goes to all the markers and transitions you have set and makes an entirely new file, the "video", by reading from your 50Mbps source files.
Somewhere here there is a long post from an Adobe tech who tried to explain it to me. He emphasized that there was some relationship between the project setting and the output files, but the most important part was the output settings.
In the Share+Publish section there are a lot of presets. For some you can change the frame rate and bit rate. You should find something pretty close.
Your GH3 is so new, I've read little about it. A 50 Mbps rate is twice what we've had at the consumer level for the last few years. Have fun with that camera!

FCE log & transfer won't recognise DSLR

Hi,
I have a problem where for some reason log & transfer on FCE won't recognise my camera, I have a Canon 60D (DSLR). I have tried putting the SD card straight into the computer & also by plugging the camera into the computer via cord.
However I am still able to import footage, I import from the SD card into iPhoto, go onto Final Cut & import. Yet for some reason when any footage, picture or text is imported to Final Cut Express, the footage is always degraded, that's why I thought log & transfer would be useful. If anyone could help that would be great.
Thanks.

adobe photoshop elements 11 won't read my canon T5 raw CR2 files.
why?

Solved!

Hi Zach.
Sorry to say but Elements 12 came out several months before your camera. Adobe stops updating camera raw files for old software editions so that people have to buy new versions of the software when they get a new camera. It happened to me with LR3 when I got a new camera.
There are works rounds but they are a lot of extra steps and I think you would be converting the files to Some format other than RAW (tiff?) and which I am not sure will perform the same.
I think you just need to get a newer version of Elements.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Won't launch

My motherboard died. I put a new motherboard in and have been reinstalling the OS (Windows 7 Professional) and reinstalling all of the programs. I successfully re-downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 and entered my license key and it installs. When I launched it, it came up to the welcome screen, but when I try to open the Organizer or the Editor, it won't launch! I switched to startup in the Organizer versus the Welcome Screen and now it won't launch at all!
I uninstalled the program and tried reinstalling. It installed, but the program will not launch!

Hi,
Try starting the two applications directly by creating shortcuts to the following files.
Organizer: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Editor "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
If you need help with creating the shortcuts then come back and I will explain how to do it.

Elements 13 won't work with new camera, it won't update to raw 8.7.1

Elements 13 won't work with new camera, it won't update to raw 8.7.1. I have downloaded the patch, it is installed but the old version is this there in elements. Thanks, esther

OK I think the problem is probably related to the platform swap and you may need your account re-set. Only Adobe staff can do that. You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
2. Adobe ID, and signing-in
3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the area marked chat 24/7, then click “start chat ”
It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. Have your serial number and previous case number available. The agent can directly troubleshoot your system if you agree to activate the Adobe Connect add-on.
