Adobe Premeire Elements 8 beginner - DVD, Book, Magazine help?

Hi,
I know the basis principles from other programs, but never used adobe premeire :- elements/photoshop, and just purchased the duel package.
I would like to start from scratch and learm properly. I've tried magazines and they all seem to be photoshop based which I do want to learn, but want to start with Adobe Premiere Elements 8 first.
Is there a magazine, which deals with the basics first then builds up to intermediate/advanced?
Or the same as a DVD?
Or should I just hit PC World and look at the array of books?, which again, most seem to photoshop based.
I've look at podcasts, and found a couple, but they are short and only cover a subject or two.
Any help / links would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Andrew

Well, at the risk of sounding like I'm pounding my own drums, I've sort of spent the last five years laboring on this forum (with over 5,000 posts!), writing books and even creating my own web site to help people get up on running! I'd recommend you check some of it out.
Http://Muvipix.com is a site dedicated to helping people get up and running with the program. There's a gathering of probably the world's most knowledgeable and helpful people on the Community forum -- and you'll find lots of free tips, tutorials, royalty-free music and stock footage and motion backgrounds there -- even more (like over 1000) if you subscribe to the site. I've created a free set of tutorials called Basic Training with Premiere Elements that should definitely get up and running with the basics. There's an intermediate series of 10 more tutorials that you can access if you subcribe to the site, plus dozens more on specific subjects.
I've also written a number of books on both Premiere Elements and on the Photoshop Elements/Premiere Elements combo. They're available on Amazon.com and through the Muvipix.com store.
Check out those reviews on Amazon!

It is not clear if your Premiere Elements 10 was a downloaded purchase from Adobe or from an authorized reseller.
However, do you have a purchased serial number for the product?
If you have the purchased serial number, you can download Premiere Elements 10 tryout files from the following web site
and insert your purchased serial number in them during installation to make them your own.
Photoshop Elements 10 Direct Download Links: Free Trials, Premiere | ProDesignTools
It is important to read and carry out carefully that web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions" in order to avoid an Access Denied message.
Just in case message....
But there could be a complication with regard to files from any source.
Adobe allows you to have the purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers.
If your failed computer has Premiere Elements trapped on it representing 1 purchased serial number, you will be able to installed
the purchased serial number on only one more computer. If you have the purchased activated serial number trapped on 2 failed
computers, then you will not be able to use that purchased serial number on another computer until you deactivate at least one
on one of the other two computers. In this case, it is only Adobe who might be able to help you. None of this may apply to you. I mention
it as a just in case caution.
Please let us know if you have any questions or need clarification.
Thank you.

As Bill says, you need to contact Adobe (this is a user forum). But it's my understanding that PRE has to be installed locally and run with Administrator privileges.
You can start an Online Chat with Adobe from Section 3 at http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=premiere-elements&topic=downloading-installing -and-setting-up.

Problem encountered with Adobe premiere Element 4 et DVD sony Handicam

I have a sony Handycam DCR/DVD203E . Window Vista edition familiale premium service pack 1 .Adobe Première Elements 4 .
I take 10 rushes of 2 minutes each . I finalised the DVD for importing it on my computer under Adobe Elements 4 .
When i do " add médias " , I only get two files , one called VTS_01_1.VOB which is the total of my 10 rushes but it's only one rush of 20 minutes .I get also an error message " C:\users\Videos\20081125\VIDEO_TS... FORMAT ERROR or file correupted/a component needed is may be not installed .
I shoud get my 10 rushes of 2 minutes instead of one rush of 20 minutes film .

Just a few clarifications first. Rushes, are the quick (hence the name rush) optical prints made from cine negative film. Their intention is for viewing, quickly, the results of the previous day's filming. They are not color corrected, or manipulated in any way. They are also not edited, other than being spliced together, take after take, so the crew and decision-makers can see what was captured. These are usually discarded soon after selections are made and decisions are finalized. The original negatives are then cut in the editing process and, when complete, are printed to positive projection stock with color and density corrections. Now, the final output is more often some digital format for commercial distribution.
What we have are 2 min. Clips, in digital capture parlance. However, lets go back a moment to the first paragraph. Just like the negative film stock, this Sony camera shoots to DVD. Just like cine negative, with an editing workflow, something else has to be done. Unlike the negative film stock, the DVD can actually be viewed in an optically correct, albeit unedited, format.
The .VOB files on the DVD are part of the inherent file structure of that medium, the DVD-video and are made up of MPEG-2 (DVD-spec) compressed files with very specific criteria. Unfortunately, the aspects that go into creating an instantly viewable medium, add some problems to doing any editing with it - first there is the structure .VOB, next, the initial compression to MPEG-2. Neither is ideal, if one plans on using an NLE (Non-Linear Editing) workflow. The .VOB structure will have to be converted at some point, and the MPEG-2 compression will have to be decompressed into another format, and most likely, be re-compressed back to MPEG-2, if the final output will go to DVD. Substitute that second MPEG-2 re-compression with Flash, WMV, or whatever, should the intent be streaming media.
Steve has addressed the problem head-on, which is a good way to tackle it. This is intended to just add a bit, to what he has already written, not to correct anything, or change anything.
With the proliferation of more and more non-tape capture devices, i.e. cameras, on the market, one must make a conscious decision, as to what they will ultimately wish to do with the footage captured. While it CAN be edited, with certain limitations, it is first designed to be viewed in its raw form. It handles this last job well - just pop the DVD/mini-DVD into a player and view, or hook the camera directly to the TV (or through other devices attached to the TV) and view. Editing, however, becomes a bit more complex, and needs to be well-thought out, and planned for.
The FAQs, at the top of these pages, go a long way to helping make informed decisions, come editing time. The compromises are outlined pretty well. Yes, there
b WILL
be compromises, as the medium is not designed to be editable in the first place. It is a delivery/viewing medium. This should be a strong consideration, when shopping for a video, or still/video camera. What will I want to do with the material generated by that camera? Do I want to just record and view, or do I want to edit, before the final presentation of the material? If one is here, in the Adobe Premiere Elements (or Premiere Pro) forum, then it is likely that some editing is intended. If one has gone with a tape-based capture device, the editing path is clear - Capture, edit, Export. If one has gone with a HDD (hard drive), DVD, magnetic storage camera, decisions have to be made and some planning must go into the process of editing. Then is the time to learn the proper workflow (will differ dependant on the exact process of capture, that the device uses), and will pay dividends. Learning what compromises will have to be made and how best to keep these to a minimum, will be needed.
The ease, with which these non-tape devices capture the footage, does not belie what lies ahead, should one wish to later edit. They seem so simple - shoot, then view. However, there the simplicity ends. It is later editing, that must be heavily contemplated. These forums, and especially the FAQs (remember, they are at the top of the main pages) are a good place to learn what comes next. The simplicity quickly peels away and a lot of new techniques need to be learned. As Dorothy commented, were not in Kansas anymore, Toto... If one wishes to get good results from the editing of this type of material, they need to be ready to learn. This might also be an instance, where learning by reading (first), is far preferable to learning by doing. It is far less frustrating. One also needs to be ready to dig deeply into their toolbox, which might well contain a lot of extra programs, to accomplish the task, in the best manner. Even for tape-based editing, one can never have enough tools in that toolbox, i.e. 3rd party utilities and programs.
As an aside, I use PEs big brother, Premiere Pro, for my editing. However, I picked up PE as another tool in the process, as it does some things better than big brother does. Never be shy of using the right tools, even if it means that you have to go outside of PE and even Adobe.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Windows DVD convert to

I recently purchased a Canon camera bundle and a Photo Suite Deluxe DVD was part of the package, the description at time of purchase did not mention that it was or a Windows based computer only, so the version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 cannot be downloaded onto my Mac. Can I use the serial number I received for that PC version, but download the Mac version from online instead of using the DVD?

Normally, a Photoshop Elements license is good for PC and Mac. Since in this case it is part of some bundle there is no telling what arrangements might have been made. Whether or not it will work out for you remains to be seen thru trying. Here is a link for version 10... give it a shot....

Adobe Premier Elements 9 stopped working randomly, Please help!

Just recently when I try to open my Adobe Premier Elements 9 and an error message keeps popping up that says "We have detected an incompatible display driver, please update. HD Graphics 4400 3.0.0 - Build 10.18.10.3977." I went and updated the driver but every time I try to open Premier the pop up keeps popping up and when Premier does open, the video tracks on my timeline will not show on the play back screen so it makes editing impossible.
I have had this same Adobe Premier Elements 9 since 2011 and had no problems until about a few days ago.

If you are on Windows, it is VERY likely that a Windows update has changed something
Display driver & Baddriver http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1370916?tstart=0 may help
If you are on Windows, do you have dual graphics?
Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound and then select Device Manager... In Device manager you click the + sign to the left of Display Adapters... and see if 2 are listed

Any ideas?

Premeire Elements 10 - Blank DVD

I have been using PE 10 for some time and have done several projects. When I burn it says that it is complete but the DVD is blank. I have tried to burn a folder and that works. I tried to take that folder and burn the DVD but, I wasn't able to figure out how to use imgburn yet. The current project I have won't burn to DVD but, I was able to burn a Blu-ray. Two different drives. The project I had was over 2 hours long so I cut it down to under 2 hours still wont burn. No error messages. I even went back and tried to burn a project that I done in the past and it wouldn't finish the burn and stuck at 99%. Is there software that is incompatible with PE 10?
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
D..

Beginner Question - Book/Magazine Setup CS2

Hi
How would I setup a multiple-page InDesign document like a book or a magazine so that when I send it to the local printer (on 11 x 17 paper), the page numbers are in order? I have been having a hard time figuring this out because I have been designing as layout spreads so that I can see the actual pages side by side.
Is there a way to do this without "make a book by hand. Take some paper and fold the book. after doing that, put the page numbers on the book. This is your template." - which is the advice I got from another forum. I just want to double check and see if there are any other options as I will need to add pages and take away pages throughout the process and making a mock-up hard copy will not work for what I am doing as - I am unsure of the final page count.
Thanks so much!
Aimee
FYI: I am buying a InDesign book tonight!

"like a book or a magazine so that when I send it to the local printer (on 11 x 17 paper), the page numbers are in order"
Reading the above, I think you aren't sending it to a commercial printer....
Your version of CS2 may or may not have come with InBooklet. Later versions of CS2 were released without the InBooklet plugin (Quark bought it somewhere around that time, I think).
So, if you have it, you're in luck. It will impose the pages for you. If not, you will have to make your booklet pages manually, in which case it will be a much more labour-intensive task. Exporting to PDF and creating a new file with the will likely be the easiest method. You could also try something like this: http://www.quite.com/imposing/ which has a trial version.

Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Is Not Opening (Need Help ASAP)

Hello,
I tried to start up the program and it won't start. Previously, I would have the problem of my software not starting when I clicked on the icon. I found a way to get around that, but now it isn't starting at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program and nothing has changed. All I get now is a pop-up box that says that the program has stopped working. I really don't know what to do!

You realize that you are not using Premiere Elements 12/12.1 optimally on Windows Vista be it 32 or 64 bit. You still have a Premiere Elements 12/12.1 32 bit application which has computer resource issues when trying to get a larger project taken to completion successfully. With the 32 bit system, the maximum supported installed RAM = 4 GB, typically with 3.2 to 3.0 GB or less of that available. And, you appear to have only 3 GB RAM to start with.
It sounds like it may have worked before from what you wrote. How long ago did it work? And, what was your last activity in a project before you could no longer get the program to open. Are working with a home computer or is this computer part of a company network? In your present computer environment moving to Premiere Elements 13 is not a choice since Premiere Elements 13 does not support Windows Vista 32 or 64 bit.
You could go through the usual drill
a. Latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 12/12.1?
b. Running program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
c. Video card/graphics card up to date according to web site of the manufacturer of the card?
d. Does problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
e. Where do you have the Scratch Disks directed and how much free hard drive space is at that location?
f. Did you install the program to the default location on the Local Disk C?
What was your way of getting the program to work previously when problems developed?
Let us consider the above and then we can decide what next.
Thank you.

Help! My Adobe Premiere Elements Video is Horizontal, Can you help?

I took a video of a native dancer, Unfortunately, when played the native dancer is horizontal. is there a fix to rotate the video just as one can rotate a photo?

ceasefortea
In Premiere Elements 10 Windows
a. highlight your video on the Timeline of the Timeline view
b. click on Properties icon above Timeline to open Properties Palette. (Could also open Properties Palette via Window Menu/Properties)
c. In Properties Palette/Motion Panel Expanded, use the Rotation feature there to rotate your video.
Please let us know the outcome. We will fine tune the details as necessary, but I think that the above should do the job.
