Adobe Premier Elements 13 Missing VBR 2 Pass

I recently just got Adobe Premier Elements 13, I've used Elements 11 and 12 prior.
In the past versions I am able to select VBR 2-Pass rendering export for H.264 videos. Now, however, in this new version I only have the option of CBR or VBR, 1 Pass.
This is under AVCHD of course, selecting MP4, and customizing settings. I can input the bitrate I want, I can change the profile to High and 5.1, but no matter what I do there are only 2 radio buttons, either CBR or VBR, 1 Pass. There is no option for 2-pass VBR like there was in Premier Elements 12. I'd hate to have to downgrade to get VBR2 support.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
I do not believe the following will be a quick answer route, but you could consider filing one of those Adobe Feature Request Bug Report Forms.
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
For all intents and purposes, the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum is a user to user forum. However, when a new version of the program is released and at other
undefined times, an Adobe presence is noted in the form of posts from people identifying themselves as Adobe Staff or PRE_help. There have been several
of these appearances since September 24, 2014, release date of version 13 until now. Hopefully one of them will see this VBR, 2 Pass matter and offer some
insights on its apparent disappearance from many of the Advanced export settings. I am still wondering about the 2 options in the save dialog for the customized preset.
Neither seem usable. So, I leave the options unchecked. This latter matter applies to version 12 and 13.
Lots to explore and learn.
Best wishes

How to narrate in Adobe Premier Elements?

I am using an external Yeti microphone to record narration in Adobe Premier Elements. I have set up the microphone in the system preferences and also in the Adobe program. I can hit record but there is no sound on the playback. What setting am I missing to get this to record actual sound?

Is that a USB mic? Premiere (both Elements and Pro) can have issues with USB mics. Some work, but some do not.
If USB, test with a mic plugged directly into your sound card, or the MoBo's embedded chip via a 1/8" mini-plug.
Good luck,

Adobe Premier Elements 7- crash-when burning says" Please insert a blank disk" and already a disk in

I have a Adobe Premier Elements 7. I have had a lot of problems with it of crashing and not burning.. I just had my computer wiped out and installed everything back on like windows xp service pack 3..etc. First I have Windows XP service pack 3 with an Intel Core 2CPU ,6400 @213GHz, 2.13 GHz, 1.98 GB of RAM. When I went into disk menus premier elements 7 crashes... why is that??? also I tried to burn a DVD and does the progress of burniing and almost done burning WHILE there is a dvd in the drive and says"Please insert a blank disk and click ok to burning" why doe sit do that also? I just had adobe reinstalled and my computer wiped out? Please respond and help.. I am using this program as a business of video editing and nee this solved.

Along with Steve's questions, let's talk about the process of Burning a DVD-Video.
From PrE, which is doing the authoring of the DVD-Video, the first thing that happens is a quick check of the Project and the Menu Set chosen. This happens in an instant. Next, the program must Transcode the Timeline to MPEG-2 that is fully DVD-compliant. This takes some time and is a very intensive process, stressing the computer, and also heating things up greatly. This process will often cause a poorly ventilated, or poorly cooled computer to crash with either a reboot, or a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). Every component, save for the video card, will be stressed like few other programs can do. PrE uses a 2-pass Transcode, where it goes through the entire Timeline, and maps out sections with high motion, or great detail. It builds a "script" on how to proceed, and then goes back at the Timeline with that script, but also still looking for ways to improve things. This is about 90% of the entire Burn Disc process. Nothing has yet to be burned. Instead, files are created in the Scratch Disk folders. Now, the program takes those newly created MPEG-2 files, the Menus, and all navigation such as Markers, and assembles them into another working folder, in the full DVD structure of VIDEO_TS folder with the IFO, BUP and VOB's. When this is done, the actual physical Burn starts. This is quite a ways into the total process. It is at this point, that the program looks at the burner and the blank media, and not before.
When the program cannot get the necessary info from the burner, or the blank media, it will throw an error message, similar to yours. Also, "SenseCode Errors" usually indicate a problem with the burner, or the media.
Now, let's address this last bit. Is the firmware for your burner up to date? If not, update/flash the firmware. This will be available from your burner mfgr's. Web site. Next, what brand of blank media are you using? Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden are the most recommended brands. Memorex, TDK, newer Ritek and all store brands should be avoided at all costs. Last, is your burner a fully-certified multi-drive? If so, it should be able to handle +R, or -R media. What type are you using, and are you sure that this is blank media, and not a disc that you have already burned, or even attempted to burn?
Hope that we can stop the crashes, and get you to burning.
Good luck,
Hunt

Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal Pre icon, File, Edit, Clip, etc.
I am planning on purchasing Premier Elements 13, would it be better if I bought a new program rather than download an upgrade, just in case the upgrade doesn't load properly due to the error with my existing program?
If I the deleted Premier Elements 9 on my PC would I lose all my existing videos that were produced using Premier Elements 9 or would they be saved so that they can still be worked on in Premier Elements 13?
Does Premier Elements 13 work with Windows 7?
Thanks

Premiere Elements 13 absolutely works with Windows 7!
In fact, I'd highly recommend you download the free trial and give it a test run.
Meantime, go to Windows Update and make sure you have all of the latest Windows updates, including those that don't install automatically. Then go to the nVidia or ATI site and ensure you have the latest driver for your graphics card, and go to Apple.com and ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.

Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Elements to shut down.

I have Adobe Premier Elements 7. When I launch the application then try to begin using it an error is presented which advises Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project. When I click OK the program shuts down. I have tried fixes I have found on the Forum. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the program.

I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution. When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom. How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels? I have read other forums on burning HD DVD's but I do not see the option to turn the 8 pi into 40 pi the one forum recommended. I want my DVD to be HD so I may sell these videos online for my business. I can't sell them the low quality they are burning now. Hopefully you can help me. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.
You cannot burn your high resolution video that you can view on your computer to an AVCHD on DVD disc
that will replay through a regular DVD player. But players are marketed under a variety of names with
different support opportunities. One manufacturer may call its product MultiMedia Player, media player, Blu-ray player,
etc.The bottom line is the specifications for each of the players that are candidates for the playback of
the AVCHD format on DVD disc or the format of interest.
If you upload your HD (1920 x 1080) video to YouTube, YouTube converts the video to flash format, but it goes up as the HD video.
But, beware. Look at the YouTube viewing setting when your uploaded video is playing back. The YouTube default is not
HD. It might be 360p, 480p. If you have a 1080p video, then before the YouTube playback, you should be looking
at the video with the YouTube 1080p HD setting for best viewing. That is a YouTube matter.
Best results depend on you
a. setting up the Premiere Elements project preset to match the properties of the source media. That means, if
you have 1080p source, you (manually) or the project (automatically) set the project preset at
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR [email protected]
or the PAL counterpart, depending on your region need.
b. if you upload your video to YouTube using the Premiere Elements feature, there is a HD preset, but you cannot
customize it.....if you need customization, then you can export your Timeline to a file...in this example
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or PAL counterpart
and then customize the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset. In increase quality, you might look to increase
the Bitrate under Advanced Button/Video Tab settings - without compromising the file size.
Then you would upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
All of the above are factors that need looking into in order to determine the why for what you wrote
I have published a shortened advertisement video to YouTube- say 5 minutes-
and it is low quality
Often SD video upscaled to HD can present poorly. But, you are dealing with a HD workflow so that should not be introduced into the matter. The setup of the project and
the properties of the source video are important, but let us start with the above and rule in or out those considerations first.
Thank you. As always, any clarification needed, please do not hesitate to ask.

Vere Clarke
Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and Premiere Elements 13 are standalone products.
So, you can have both on the same computer, but only open one for your work.
The classical recommendation is to finish a project in the version in which it was created since there
is no guarantee that a project from an earlier version will open in the later version. Probably will, but
no guarantees. And, when you do explore this, do it from a copy of the earlier version project. Once you
take the earlier version project into a later version one, you cannot go back to edit the later version edited
project in the earlier version program.
If you have both versions (9 and 13) on the same computer and you have not moved, deleted, renamed any of the version 9's files/folders,
right click the saved closed Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project file, select Open With, and then Adobe Premiere Elements 13.
(Your 9.0/9.0.1 saved closed project file should be found in Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/9.0.)
Please review and consider. If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Thank you.

Upgrade to Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 plus Adobe Premier Elements 2.0

I currently have Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0
I would like to purchase the Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 plus Adobe Premier Elements 2.0. for more photo and video options.
I'm offered one of two options. Either buy the Full Version or the Upgraded version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 plus Adobe Premier elements 2.0.
I don't want to lose any of my videos or photos in my Adobe Photoshop Album Starter editon 3.0.
Will the Upgrade over the Full Version be sufficient?
Thanks,

The upgrade only applies if you already have a paid-for version of these programs. You cannot "upgrade" SE.
> I don't want to lose any of my videos or photos in my Adobe Photoshop Album Starter editon 3.0
That isn't an issue. Your pictures aren't "in" PSA SE, it is just cataloging what's on your disk. In any case, the catalog will be usable by PSE 4 Organizer, so all your tags etc. will be preserved.

Install Adobe Premier Elements 9 results in Windows Installer window pop up

Installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 fine. When installing Adobe Premier Elements 9, the installation fails during 'Configuring Windows Installer' and a pop up window appears with the title 'Windows Installer'. What do I need to do to get this software installed?

You need at least 30GB (or better, 60GB) free defragmented space for PRE9 to work. Do you have this? You may have been on the borderline during install and your first project, so when you rendered your project, or restarted the machine, (possibly Windows creating a system restore point) your free space dropped below the limit.
Can you also confirm that you didn't install any new software between the saving and opening of your project.
Here are some general points you should work through to maximise your chances of success
Install all Windows Updates.
Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.8 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
Run Disk Cleanup.
Run Defragmenter.
Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
And give us some information about your clip and hardware:
Use the GSpot Codec Information Utility to analyse the file and post screen image.
What project preset did you use?
Where did the clip come from?
How did you get it into PRE?
Post back here with the necessary information described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started

Adobe Premier Elements 10 has stopped working error message/Audio issues

I'm working on a project for about a week. I almost finished it, "shared" it to my computer, and watched it thru windows media player. I thought of something else that I could add to the audio, so I went back into the project in PE10 and put small (2-3 seconds) audio clips on audio track 3. Once I did that, PE 10 would not allow me to put any audio effects on that track. (I went into some older longer projects that I have and it allowed me to put effects on any audio track).
So, I moved my short audio clips to the Narration and Soundtrack tracks. It finally highlighted the App;y button for the audio effects. Now, the problem is that I can't play or click onthe timeline or move the timeline indicator without PE10 closing out of my video. As soon as I try to do anything, it says "Adobe Premier Elements 10 has stopped working" and it closes the program.
I can open my other projects and everything seems to work fine on those and it doesn't close out, but it won't allow me to do anything in this particular project.
Again, I have been going into and out of the project for a week and all of the sudden it won't let me work on it. It's only about a 3 minute project, so I don't know why it would have trouble.
Oh, and it also un-rendered everything.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

How to import AVI files created in Adobe Premier Elements 2?

I have captured video in Adobe Premier Elements 2 on my PC from my Canon Optura camcorder. I have a few hundred small .avi files that I need a friend to import into his Final Cut Pro so they can be edited along with other footage that he has created. What is the best way to do this? Should I output a different file type from Adobe to make it easier for him to import?
Thanks in advance.

No, it would be easier to give him the camera and let him capture natively.
bogiesan</div>
Unfortunately the clips are dispersed throughout many tapes so it is not reasonable for my friend to capture directly from the tapes.
I'm new to video editing and I don't know what format is recorded by my camcorder. Reading in this forum indicates that the .AVI files are just "wrappers". Is the compressor part of Final Cut? Would he be able to convert the files? Is it a problem if the time codes are lost. Can I do anything else in Adobe to make the conversion easier?
Sorry for all the dumb questions.

Adobe premier element 9

Hello,
I have a problem with Adobe premier element 9.
I created a project with some photo and in this photo I put a little video to comment it. The project is in 1280*760.
My problem is when I want to record my project in a littler resolution (800*600), all the insert video moves out from the picture.
Do u know if there is an “option” to keep all as it was in 1280*760?
Other information: I tried to record my project in 1280*760, but it don’t work, “undefined error”…. This is an other problem…
Thanks for your help.

For what I am reading, per your desires, I would match the Project's Preset to that of your Video, in every respect.
Scale your still images to match the chosen Frame Size. This ARTICLE will give you tips and more detail.
Now, to get the Video to "come out of the stills," be sure to turn Scale to Frame Size OFF. Then, you will do a PiP (Picture in Picture), with the stills on Video Track 1, and the Video on Video Track 2, above the stills. You will then use the fixed Effect>Motion>Scale and Keyframe the Scale of the Video. You will start with a Scale of 0, so that the Video is not visible, then Keyframe the Scale to what you need, whether PiP (smaller than the stills), or full-frame. If you want the Video to "disappear" back into the still, just reverse the Keyframes.
When done, you can Export/Share to a smaller set of dimensions, with most formats/CODEC's. You will want to keep the Aspect Ratio the same, as with your Project's Preset, so a little math might be required.
If this is not what you want, please correct where I went wrong, and good luck,
Hunt

Please help me!--rendering makes the images or video blurry (very pixelated) deteriorates the image Adobe Premier Elements 13 need help! .jpg and mpeg images, but I have never "rendered" before since I got APE 13 about 6 weeks ago. I am desperate for assistance!

That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.
