Adobe elements 9 slideshow-codec issue

I am new to this slideshow process, but have successfully created a 24 min video, have added my pictures and transitions into the slideshow.  Now I was about to add audio to it.  However, I have been able to get anything to work.  My I-tunes songs weren't working, so then I tried purchasing mp3 songs from Amazon.  I have those songs loaded on my computer.  When I go to add the audio, I get this message:  "unable to add audio file...mp3.  The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser (codec) installed."
What do I do?  I need to have this video for an end of season party in two days!  I don't know how to fix this.  Thanks.  Panic-ed-Volleyball Team Mom

Take the problem audio into the free audio editor Audacity and convert the .mp3 to .wav. Then import the .wav into Premiere Elements with its Add Media/Files and Folders.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 running on?
We will be watching for your results.
Thank you.

  • Adobe Elements 9 Slideshow to VCD and WMV: AWFUL Quality and No Slides Appear

    I have just creating a long slideshow  (~335 high quality slides) replete with music.  I converted it to a wmv file which resulted in a movie in which ONLY the opening slide is displayed.  The music plays but no other pictures appear.  Great.
    I also created a VCD fromt the "Output" option on the Slideshow screen.  The VCD works sorta, but the picture quality is AWFUL.  The slides look like little thumbnails blown up 10,000%.   I have high quality images in (what I thought was a) high quality slide show. 
    The slideshow looks fine in Adobe Elements 9.  What happened???
    Is this typical for AE9 or am I missing something???
    ALIENWARE AURORA, INTEL(R) CORE(TM) I7,
    CPU 920 @ 2.67GHZ; INTEL64 FAMILY 6 MODEL 26    
    CPU CURRENT CLOCK SPEED: 2668MHZ;
    6GB DDR3 MEMORY:
    Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64 bit       
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460, RAM 1024MB
    Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio sound card
    Update:
    I exited and restarted the program and tried the output options again.  The *.wmv file works now but the VCD is still lousy quality.  I tried the AE9 option to create a VCD with menus, but I can't find those menus on the finished VCD.  The VCD size is 250MB; my 335 slides should be close to 600 MB based on the size of the origianl pictures; no wonder the picture quality is terrible on the VCD.  Is there a way to convert the slide show to a VCD and control (improve) the quality?  The wmv file is 188MB, which is also too small, and i have that specified as max. quality.  As I said, it does look better than the VCD.   How can I export this slide show in max. quality?
    Thanks.
    Update Again,
    I realized that NONE of the wmv files I created from my slideshow in AE9 have worked.  The music background is fine, but the slides progress to a certain point and then they don't change again. The show is stuck on a slide about half way thru.  This is awful.  The VCD's have the same type of problem in addition to the quality issue.
    Thoughts?

  • I have Adobe Elements 9 and I used to be able to export HD 1080p videos with no issue. But recently, when I export using H.264 MPEG or MPEG 2, which I normally used, the high resolution videos come out very choppy.  How can i fix this?

    Are you running the 9.0.1 Update of the program and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
    Is your computer optimized, including maintenance of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    What are your project settings and what are the properties of your source media? When you say that "used to be able to export...." is that on the same computer, same brand/model/settings for the camera recording the video now in use, same Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    Where player are you using for the playback of these exports?
    Please give us more details on the size of the projects (then and now) as well as details of the customized export settings in your Share/Computer/ route. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is only a 32 bit application running in 32 bit or 64 bit system. Not sure if computer resources might be taxed more so now than before.

  • Adobe Elements 12 Activation Issues

    When I input serial codes into Adobe Elements Premier and Photoshop 12, I am told that the codes can not be veriified. However, when I register the products to my account the codes work? How do I get the products to activate? Thank You
    (I am on a 2012 Macbook pro)

    Adobe is the only one who can address and correct activation matters. We are not Adobe. Just user to user.
    Please contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat by clicking on the following link. When it opens, click on "Still Need Help? Contact us." to bring up the Adobe Chat to discuss "Serial Number Issues or Activating My Product"
    http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=premiere-elements&topic=serial-number-issues-o r-activating-my-product
    There was a Mac serial number invalid issue a while back. I will see if I can find it. But, Adobe Chat should be your target for the resolution here.
    Please let us know the outcome.

  • Adobe Elements 9 Organizer Issue?

    I Use this to organize and store My Photos, Lately it has stopped at J or S in the Organize area so I can't access files starting with letters beyond these letters any Ideas?

    Go to your username>library>preferences and delete
    com.adobe.Elements Organizer.9.0.plist
    com.adobe.ElementsOrganizer9.plist
    and any lockfiles with the same names
    Repair permissions and try again.
    Note that the user library is hidden in 10.7. To see it, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the Option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account.
    You will need to use the catalog manager to select your catalog again after doing this, so hold down shift while starting the organizer.

  • Adobe Elements 11 Organizer

    In Apr 2013 I downloaded Adobe Elements Organizer. I can't get it to work. I paid $109.49 for it and never could use it. Did I download the wrong thing? And what can I do about it?

    Helgataifun wrote:
     Nowhere in my files do I have a file that is just called Adobe Elements 11.
    The reason for that is because there is no such application. I'll repeat that - "there is no product called Adobe Elements 11"
    You could have bought:
    Photoshop Elements 11 - which contains Photoshop Elements 11 and the Elements Organizer
    or
    Premiere Elements 11 - which contains Premiere Elements 11 and the Elements Organizer
    or
    Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 11  bundle - which contains Photoshop Elements 11, Premiere Elements 11 and the Elements Organizer.
    Check your online order details and tell us which it was you bought (DON'T post any serial numbers here though).
    From your description of what happens when you clicked on the Video / Photo Editor options you currently have installed Photoshop Elements and the Elements Organizer.
    Your actual problem is nothing to do with the application installations, but the fact that the file you imported into the Organizer is no longer in the location it was in when you imported it.
    This could be because you moved it somewhere else using your OS file system, deleted it, or it was on a memory card, USB thumbdrive, or removable hard drive that is either no longer connected, or now has a different drive letter than when it was originally connected.
    In the Organizer select Find> All Missing Files and let the Organizer search your computer for them (that could take a while). If it finds them let it reconnect them for you. You should then be able to edit them by right-clicking the thumbnail and selecting "Edit with Photoshop Elements Editor".
    Possibly one other misconception - you may be thinking that if you open the Editor all your photos are visible there for editing. That is not how it works - to edit a file you have to open it either from the Organizer (as described above) or in the editor with the File> Open dialog.
    Hope this helps to explain things a little better. Try and find your files to edit and come back to us if you still have difficulties.

  • Problems installing Adobe Elements 4.0

    Wow, do I love my Macbook Pro. No waiting to order it. Got it 3 weeks ago at the Apple Store. No noise, no problem installing my old files .etc.
    However, tonight I tried to install Adobe Elements 4 two times. Both times at the last seconds of installing I get a message to try installing again. Is this a known issue with intel Macs? Or do I have defective software?
    Thanks for any info about this.

    is it best I pair the upgrade and just put another 512 MB in second slot, or can I put 1 or 2 gig in that slot and get dual channel performance?
    That's a good question which often leads to a lot of debate. Most benchmarks show the effect of dual channel is minimal, probably because with most applications memory is not the bottleneck, other sub-systems like the hard drive or graphics are.
    It really depends on what you're going to do with the computer: if a lot of Elements 4 work under Rosetta with many windows open etc. I think you'd be well served by going to 2GBs of RAM. If intensive use like that will be minimal, and mostly you're going to "iLife it up," e-mail, surfing, etc. then you'd probably be happy adding another 512MB. Over time as more programs go Universal the overhead imposed by Rosetta will be less & less of an issue.
    When shopping be sure to check out OWC (Other World Computing) for their pricing on genuine Samsung memory (I'm not a fan of their "no name" brand). Apple uses a lot of Samsung itself, as well as Micron which you can buy from Crucial.com. Others will have their own favorites to recommend, of course.

  • Installing Adobe Acrobat Reader X into Adobe Elements 6.0

    I am using Adobe Elements 6.0 which comes with Adobe Reader 6.0.  In the past per a TechNote (331114), I was able to update the Adobe Reader from the 6.0 to the latest version I am currently using (9.0) by putting the file into the folder: "Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 6.0" as the TechNote recommended. 
    Now I want to update to the Adobe Reader X (10.1.1) but that download will not allow me to direct the installation into the "Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 6.0" folder. It only does an automatic install and does not let me choose where to put the files (no menu pops up to let me direct the installation to a different folder).
    How do I make it install to the "Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 6.0"?  Or, dan't I dod that with the Adobe Reader X?
    Thanks.

    I came upon this post after receiving this error message when trying to install Acrobat 9. In my case, we deploy Acrobat from an Administrative Installation Point (AIP) using Group Policy. I believe the user at this computer pulled the plug while the group policy deployment was taking place. I got the error when trying to install the program manually afterwards.
    I was able to rectify the issue by running msiexec.exe against the MSI in the AIP with the /x switch, performing an uninstall:
    msiexec /x \\server\deploy\AcrobatStandard9\acrostan.msi
    (The program was not showing up in Add/Remove programs, otherwise I would have tried uninstalling from there.) After that, the install proceeded successfully.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • I am unable to download adobe elements 10 onto my MAC

    I am unable to download adobe elements 10 onto my MAC

    Hi Dave,
    I'm sorry you are having issues. Maybe this will help.
    Installation rules will let you install the software on two computers. If you have only installed it once, you should be able to install it on the other computer. If you have already installed the software twice and you don't have access to your previous computer or you upgraded your computer's hardware, replace a hard drive, upgraded your operating system, or reformatted your drive before deactivating your software, you can ask Adobe Support to help you deactivate the software from the machine. Just have your serial number or Adobe ID ready, and then contact support. Then you can install the software from the link below and enter your serial number to re-activate the software.
