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?

Not unless you want to. Each version is a separate standalone version and you can keep both if you like.

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.

I'm a new mac user. My photos transferred over from PC w/Adobe Elements to Imac with IPhoto and they're a complete disorganized mess!!!!! HELP!

I'm a new mac user. I just had my 8,000 photos that I managed on my old PC using Elements transferred to new Mac. Now half my photos are completely disorganized and jumbled together out of order in one big Iphoto album, when they used to be arranged in folders by date. I could see this taking hours and hours of reviewing and organizing, picture by picture.
What is the most expedient solution to this problem? I'm open to using Iphoto, Aperture, and perhaps even Lightroom to organize my pics but would like to avoid Elements since I read new organizers stink.
P.S. I would love a 'Sort' function by date to keep them in order, (much more useful to me than categorizing by faces and places), however I can't seem to find a program that offers this, which makes no sense to me.
Thanks,
Angela

View Menu -> Sort Photos -> By Date?
If you want to duplicate your Folder Tree in iPhoto:
Start at the bottom of the hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in iPhoto. The pics will be imported and an Album of the same name created.
You can then create the Enclosing Folders in the iPhoto Window (File -> New Folder) and drag the Album to it. Folders can contain other Folders (Nested Folders) and Albums.
However, is your folder system date based? Then this form of organisation is a bit pointless in iPhoto when Smart Albums or the Calendar tool (Click on the wee magnifying glass in the Search Box) mean you can find the photos taken on any day, month or year at a click. With Smart Albums it's easy to find photos from specific range - say, June 3 to August 25, 2009 etc.
If your folder system is theme based - Xmas pics, Birthday pics etc, then you'll find Keywords are much more flexible, and can be used in conjunction with other criteria for making Smart Albums and searches.

Burning a slideshow to disc and sound slider

I have made a slide show with narration and music. Using Photorshop 10 Organizer.
1. The sound slider has no effect. The music does not dip when there is narration on a slide. Can this be solved?
2. I cannot burn the slideshow. Trying in Photoshop (trying a CD as well as DVD) it will not burn. The CD seemed to burn, but there was nothing on the disc when it said it was completed. Trying on the DVD it put me into Premiere Elements 10. It showed the soundtrack but not the pictures. During the burn the disc came out before burning had finished. Another time it completed the burn but there was nothing on the disc. sometimes the unknown error 2131042560 was quoted.
Please can anyone help?

It sounds like you might be using Photoshop Elements, not Photoshop. Is this the case? If so, I can redirect your question to the appropriate forum.

Load problem with Adobe Elements 11

Trying to load Adobe Elements 11 using Windows 7 and Explorer 10. It does not load but asks to try Exporer 10, dead end.

use a different browser or use ie10's compatibility mode.

What is the best way to remove elements 10 from one pc and install it on another?

What steps need to be taken to remove Adobe Elements 10 from one pc and install it on another?

Use back up and restore from the Organizer menu. You are permitted two activations so no real need to deactivate the old copy unless you have installed it previously on another machine.
See these instructions for PSE6 and above.

Migration from Adobe Elements (Win XP) to Aperture 2

I am moving from a Windows XP machine with Adobe Elements 4 to an iMac and Aperture 2.1. I need to move thousands (6000 ??) of images to Aperture 2.1 and hopefully keep my metadata (keywords, tags and ratings) in the process. Both machines are connected to a LAN and I also have a network drive which I use as a backup device and shared storage. The majority of the files are JPEG (95%) with a few Canon RAW images in the mix.
Is there a recommended method of migrating Adobe Elements 4.0 files to Aperture 2.1?

I, too, would like to migrate from Photoshop Elements 4.0 on Windoze XP to Aperture 2.0 on OS X. And I'm hoping there's a way to migrate all 601,012 of my tags to Aperture instead of having to redo them all as Aperture keywords manually.
Does anyone know if this is possible? Or perhaps there's a utility to write Elements' tags as EXIF/IPTC prior to moving the files over and importing them into Aperture?

Tools in Adobe Elements 12 don't work after Yosemite upgrade

Trying to edit my son's wedding photos - the basic editing tools in Adobe Elements 12 will not work and I have to force quit to get out of app. Others have reported the problem on Adobe forums but it seems like an Apple issue?? I've only owned this program for a month and it would be horrible for it not to work because of an OS upgrade. Adobe's response is to upgrade to 13. I'm not spending another $80 on a program that I just purchased.

So the download completed; did you also install it?

My newly adobe element premiere 13 is offline what should i do?

my adobe premiere 13 cannot import a HD video format

obz production
I do not get the connection between "adobe element premiere 13 is offline" and "my adobe premiere 13 cannot import a HD video format".
The answers will be in the details, so please supply the details necessary for us to help you.
Some of the questions that need answers...
1. What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
2. With few exceptions, your computer does not need to be connected to the Internet to run Premiere Elements 13. You do for product activation and then later for first time use of certain features. Are you getting any MPEG2 Activation messages or something like that? Are you offline because you choose not to connect to the Internet or because your Internet service is not working?
3. What are the properties of this HD video that you cannot import into Premiere Elements?
Video compression
Audio compression
Frame Size
Frame Rate
Interlaced or Progressive
File Extension
Pixel Aspect Ratio
Much of that information can be interred by knowing the brand/model/settings for the camera that recorded the video.
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements?
Let us start here and then we can decide what next. If you are new to the program or video editing and do not understand the questions
or do not have the answers, we will help you with that.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

Error: adobe acrobat elements has encountered a problem and needs to close

When I right-click to Convert to PDF or Convert to PDF and EMail for .xls, .xlsx, .doc, .docx, .pptx, .ppt, .pub, and .igx items (what I've tried so far), I get the following error: "Adobe acrobat elements has encountered a problem and needs to close". It works fine on .bmp .tif, .txt, .htm, and .jpg (what I've tried so far). I am not having problems printing to Adobe to convert, nor am I having problems creating a PDF within a program, and I'm not having problems converting from IE. I am using Windows XP Professional, Microsoft 2007, and IE 7. My Adobe product is Adobe Acrobat X Pro Version 10.1.2. What can I do to resolve this problem? Thanks.

No, I don't have an older version. I did a search on my C drive for anything that has a name of Acrobat Elements and came up with the following: (I'm hoping you can see this)

Bought Premier Elements 13 yesterday. EVERY time I try to open a set of clips with Editor, I am told I have to sign into my Adobe first. I do this and wait for several minutes for the password dialogue box to open, enter my password. then wait and wait until my pw is recognized. Accept agreement. Agreement screen disappears and I'm back where I started. Try to open video clips with editor again and get the same demand to log in. Please advise asap. thx

Please do not duplicate a thread. The threads are answered as soon as possible. We are not Adobe. Just user to user.
I have answered your most recent of the duplicates
Premier Elements 13 Organizer Works. Editor doesn't. Log in doesn't work
It is uncertain just how far we can go to help you since you do not appear to have Premiere Elements any
longer.Seems you demanded a refund from Adobe Chat, got it, and now are left with a non purchased program which I
am not sure can be used.
Duplicates tend to confuse the person asking the question as well as those attempting to reply. As I suggested in the
above mentioned thread, try to sort out your situation with Adobe via its Adobe Chat.

Adobe Premiere Elements 12 don't start and crashes

Adobe Premiere Elements 12 don't work as it should in Windows 8.
I run the Pc as an Admin Account but still adobe just gives me this message and then crashes.
I only have one account that is Admin on this pc aswell.
I also tried to run the program as "admin" with right mouse buttom, but it's the same error thier.
I have also installed the program on another Pc I dont use but has Win7 and thier it works just fine.
So what should I do so I can use the program that I actually bought serval weeks ago?
But still cant use.... Anyone that know of this problem?
Really bad that you cant write or call adobe "support"

How long ago did you purchase Premiere Elements 12? If it is within the last 30 days, you might be eligible for a free move to version 13. You need to contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat to discuss that as soon as possible if that is something of interest to you. There may be some debate about the way to make contact, but, if you purchased from Adobe direct as an online download, I would contact Adobe Chat by clicking on the following and following through with Chat Panel.

If the link does not open as set, then you will need to navigate to Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
If you stay with 12, then there are several areas to pursue
1. Can you open the program by going to the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file, right clicking it and selecting Run As Administrator, and then double clicking the .exe in an attempt to open the program direct to the editor?
See
Local Disk C
Program Files
Adobe
Adobe Premiere Elements 12
and in the Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Folder are the Adobe Premiere Elements 12.exe and Adobe Premiere Elements.exe. You want the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file.
2. If you create a new User Account with Administrative Privileges and install and run Premiere Elements 12 from there, does the program open?
3. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

I bought the Adobe student version of Photoshop and Premiere Elements a few months ago - and now I am trying to use it, and the serial number that I have is incorrect - or it is only the registration number or something? It says I should have been sent an email with the serial number once the product was registered - But I never received this email. If anyone is able to help me with this issue - that would be great. the registration number is: PEPEP6-5578-6450-8871-9107 I am using a windows based system

If I were you I would first make sure CS6 was deactivated or signed-out. Then download Adobe's cleaner and remove cc, CS6 and any other creative application installed including Creative Cloud desktop application. Then install CS6 and use your CS6 serial number during the install to activate CS6 standard or extended which ever the serial number is for. CS6 Version 13.0 should the be activated. That level of CS6 is extremely bug ridden so be sure to the use CS6 menu Help>Updates to get CS6 updates. Windows should update to version 13.0.1.3 Mac to version 13.0.6. Not Subscription CS6 version 13.1.2...
