Please Help !!!!!!

Going back up to the questions in Reply #1, I will elaborate:
#2 - Project Settings - in PrE, one has a Project, which has various settings, such as Frame Size, Frame-Rate (FPS), Audio specs., etc. Those settings are chosen at New Project, and should match one's footage 100%. PrE 11 & 12 can set up a Project, based on the first Video Clip used, and is pretty accurate, but when it is not, the user needs to manually set up the Project, and Force those settings. Once a Project has been setup, one can check all the settings by going to Edit>Project Settings>General, and making note of those settings.
#3 - I/O Sub-system - your computer has one, or more HDD's (Hard Disk Drive). The information requested is for the number of HDD's, their controller type (such as SATA II), their speed (listed in RPM, such as 5400RPM, 7200RPM), amount of free-space on each HDD, and how you have them allocated, such as C:\ = OS and programs, D:\ = Projects, Media and PrE Scratch Disks.
Now, as you are applying the Stabilization Effect, your CPU (Central Processing Unit) will come into play very heavily, especially with the H.264 source files, and it is very underpowered. That one of the prime causes of the slowness that you observe. Many Effects require a great deal of processing power, or a lot of time to process.
Good luck,
Hunt

    1.) Checked for updates, said none were avaiable.
    2.) We are using a Sony Handycam HDR-CX550V. Connects fine to premiere, i beleive it shoots in HD quality because when we upload it to youtube it has the sybol up there.
    3.) I have edited 3 videos fine in the last 3 days. It has given be error messages, program has froze, and other things, but in the end they have been edited and 2 were brought onto our youtube account even though a few times it quit unexpectadly. We went to the camera store where we purchased BOTH the camera and premiere and he ensured us the 2 would work fine together because we were going to get a Mac and use iMovie but we stayed with the current laptop and got adobe premiere. The project is set up in the NTS- DV (something like that) format where I saw on one of your earlier forums that they should.
    4.) All videos have been rendered. I use to use FinalCute Express so this program is easy to use. Progam is very simple and nothing is complicated. I have visited all the tutorials and I can edit fine its just the program seems to not be responding.
    In the last 20 minutes, it has come to the point where it wont even work. I have tried to edit my 4th video (about 10 mins long) and it was been sucessfully imported where I located it in a media file on our H:. But, when I drag it into the timeline I know its not rendered but when I do it the program completely freezes and I have to force quit and end now.

  • Zoom and Pan for Adobe Premiere Elements 12?

    I have Adobe Premiere Elements 12. I would like to zoom and pan into a video, but without that slow zoom in/out effect. Basically, I want it like a quick cut close up then back to the original size. I've been trying but nothing seems to work. There's that slow zoom in/out every time I try to get a quick cut in and a quick cut out. Does anyone have any ideas to get this? Thanks

    Please check into the details of the Premiere Elements 12 Pan and Zoom Tool. I think that you may be overlooking your opportunities for what you want with that tool, namely, the "Hold" set and the "Pan Time" set and combination there of.

  • Why does Adobe Premiere Elements 11 download my videos to my computer so slowly?

         Hey guys, I have been using Adobe Premiere Elements 11, for quite some time, and I noticed that its download speed is as slow as a turtle. I know it is not my download speed, because when I download files from the internet, or games, it goes as fast as anything. Just so you have more information, I will tell you have my recording/uploading process goes. First, I record the video (Using Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 Screen Capture). Then, I would send it to my video encoder. (Microsoft Expression Encoder 4). I would then encode the video, and send that output file to Adobe Premiere Elements 11 for further editing and to download it to my computer. Now, everything up to this point takes maybe 30 minutes. But when I get to Adobe, it takes more less 3 hours (give or take a few minutes). Finally, after all that waiting, I upload it to Youtube, which takes about an hour or so. My problem is Adobe is taking far to much time to install/download the video. And as a result of that, I can only put out about a video a day. Is there any way to speed that up, or should I just get a new editing software? All feedback, and help is greatly appreciated.

    Gamer
    The typical ways to introduce media into Premiere Elements 11 is via AddMedia which puts the source media into Project Assets and from there you drag the contents to the Timeline Expert view edit.
    These would be your choices.
    You say that you used Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 and a picture from Photoshop Elements 11.
    Given that you are doing screen captures with Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 and you have a photo from Photoshop Elements 11, but how are you introducing them into Premiere Elements 11? At the same time that we are looking into the how, we need to look into the what, especially for the screen captures. The video and audio formats and file extension among other things are important to the Premiere Elements workflow.
    So, again I would ask you to offer answers to what I had asked
    I am assuming that you are talking about the time it takes for the video to import into Project Assets for you to drag to the Timeline. Are you observing any indexing and/or conforming going on (bar at bottom right of Expert view interface) during this 3 hour await time?
    Among other things, what are you using for Add Media and to get to Project Assets? And, the usual drill, what are the properties of your source media, including size and duration, video and audio compression, file extension, etc.? By comparison what is the size and duration of those Internet games et al. that seem to be transferring to your expectations?
    Is this one of those issues where "it never worked before" or "it worked before but not now" specific to Adobe files of the size and duration and properties that you are focusing on?
    I see the answers to all of the above as expediting the matter to get your concerns addressed.
    Please review.
    Thank you.

  • How to fix audio  of a video captured from DV output of camcorder using Adobe Premiere Elements 8?

    Hello,
    I purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 8 about one week ago.  I installed it and everything seem to work well in my first project.  I am new at editing videos but I was succesful in testing it by loading an existing video file in avi format from my computer and then doing some very basic editing (I splitted 2 scenes and added a title). 
    After my first succesful project (described above) I started a brand new project. Here, I want to capture a one hour video  from the dv output of a video camera. So I connected the camera to the PC and then started adobe elements 8.  Before starting the capture I only checked the boxes that said "capture video" and "capture audio" (the other 2 boxes that said download to timeline and autoanalyze were left unchecked).  After that I started the capture process.
    After the video capture was completed, a small window opened at the bottom saying that a PEAK FILE was being generated.    After the peak file generation finished, I looked at the captured video.  The video looked perfect.  However the audio of the video was too fast. By this, I mean that the voices of the people in the movie were like they were speaking at more than twice the normal speed.  Or to explain it in a different way, they sounded like the  chipmunks.
    So now I come to the question of this thread I started.  Is there a way that I can fix the audio part of the video I captured?  I will appreciate any help on this. Below I listed a few additional details in case this is needed.
    Thanks,
    ronel_8
    PS.  Here are some more details about my system:
    1) Operating System: Windows XP
    2) I am capturing the video on an external drive with 40 GB of available space. The external drive is connected to a PC via a USB connection.
    3) Computer CPU: 2.4 GHZ
    4) Computer RAM: 1.25 GB
    5) Video tape is about one hour long.

    Hello Bill and Steve,
    Your responses are very helpful.  Although I was not able to fix the problem yet I do seem to think from what you both say that my system may be too slow to capture the one hour video. In any case I will copy below more details about the system as you requested:
    1) Results from running Gspot:
    The audio section of the Gspot window was blank. That is, no information was there.  The File and Container sections say:
    File Size: 12.6 GB
    Note: 7.63 GB unneeded bytes at the end of the file
    DV Type1 AVI
    2) I did run the Gspot on another good avi file (captured to the PC with same camcorder) and says:
    Codec PCM Audio
    32kHz 1024 kb/s tot (2 chnls).
    I suppose these are the audio settings from the camera.
    3) Yes, I am capturing video from a miniDV camcorder (JVC GR-D70U).
    4) I did not defragment the external drive prior to capturing the video with the audi problem.  So I will give that I try and see if it solves the problem.
    5) The external drive I am using is formatted to NTFS.
    6) The computer is a Dell Dimension 2400, CPU: 2.4 GHZ, RAM: 1.25 GB
    7) HDD Size=74GB and 11 GB of free space.  But I am downloading video to external drive that has 60 GB free space.
    One last piece of information that may be useful.  If I open the AVI file (that I captured with Adobe Premiere Elements) with Windows Media Player, the audi sounds good.  However if I open it with Adobe it has the problem I mentioned in my previous e-mail.
    I'll aprreciate any further hints.
    Thanks again,
    ronel_8

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 10 running sub-par or not?

    I am new to Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and I have a lot of questions after using it for the past 4 days and getting aquainted.  First off here are my system specifications:
    HP Model h8-1214, 10GB PC3 10600 DDR3 SDRAM, 1.5TB hard drive, AMD FX 6100 6 -Core processor, AMD radeon 7450 HD graphics, Windows 7 64 bit.
         This is supposed to be a top of the line computer and I was told it could handle video editing without any issues or hold ups after all best buy does not even carry higher end models then this one.  I am currently working on two projects the first is a re-edit of 1 hours worth of Mini DV footage already edited in windows movie maker.  The other is a 3 minute compilation of videos off my ipod nano.  All the video files are stored on a 500 GB Toshiba USB 2.0 external hard drive.  I have to say I am already experiencing hang ups, slow load time, NOT RESPONDING, and choppy footage when entering effects and titles.  Also just as a test I initially put 1.5 hours of 960P high deff footage off my GoPro and threw in some effects, transitions, and menu options to see if Adobe and my computer could handle it.  It did ok but it took almost 2.5 hours just to render and burn a single DVD. 
         I am used to similar crap on my wifes 400 dollar laptop but what do I have to buy for this thing to get it to just not stutter and work right.  I am very angry at this point since I was excited that I could finally get a computer and not be held back by poor performance as I have been in the past.  Any advice would be appreciated.

  • Problem reading GoPro Hero Black 4 files (1080p 120 fps) on my iMac with Adobe Premiere Elements

    Hello,
    I have a problem reading GoPro Hero Black 4 files (1080p 120 fps) on my iMac with Adobe Premiere Elements : the file is read but the quality is quite bad. When I watch it with other software like VLC or MPC, the quality is perfect but the video is sometimes slowed or there are some jumps in the reading.
    What is the issue with this ?
    thakns for your help !
    Olivier.

    This is easy. I do it all the time. FCPX ingests GoPro footage just fine. Optimize, and you're good to go.
    BTW: A common hiccup occurs when dealing with over-cranked footage. (60fps or 120fps.) Be sure to "conform speed" to actuate the slo-mo. 'Tis also important to designate your project / timeline at 24fps or 30fps to realize the speed difference.
    I've gotten burned in the past. I'll drag my over-cranked GoPro footage to the timeline. As it is the "first" clip layed into the timeline, the project assumes THAT speed as a default. (As per my preferences.) Thus, when I "conform speed," nothing seems to happen. That's because my project is displaying at the higher rate. A 60fps timeline showing footage shot at 60fps looks "normal speed."
    FYI. (And disregard if you know all this.)

  • Video editing & playback issues: Adobe Premiere Elements 8

    Hello all,
    I have made several attempts at transfering HD video  files from my camcorder to my PC and then editing.
    When I try to play the transferred file, it is a little choppy and then gets worse as I edit it.
    Here are my specs/config:
    System:
    HP Pavilion a6720y
    Windows Vista 64 bit
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 440
    AMD Phenon 9550 Quad Core 2.2Ghz
    6GB RAM
    640GB SATA drive, 7200 rpm
    Camera:
    Sony HDR-XR150
    Editing Software:
    Adobe Premiere Elements 8
    I copy the video files from the camcorder to the computer via USB 2.0.
    When I connect the camera directly to the TV the video plays without any issues.  So I know the AVCHD files are "good" and I suspect they are also possibly "good" on my hard drive, but just cannot be played or edited appropriately for some reason.
    One input I received was that due to the nature of AVCHD files, I should convert the video to "I-frame codec" and then edit.  Can Adobe Premiere Elements do this?
    Any other thoughts/ideas?
    Thanks for any help.

    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
    You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
    I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit

  • Background Task on Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer "hangs"

    I recently upgraded my software from Elements 10 to Elements 12 and had a bit of trouble.  Apparently both 10 and 12 have a way of launching an executable in the background which tends to get "stuck" on my system.  I believe the problem may be related to the network configuration and software mix I live with, but I need to confirm my suspecions and find a way to control the problem.  Here is what I know... I have always experienced a lot of problems using Elements with my NAS device which is a 1TB usb 2.0 connected disk system attached to my Linksys  E3000 Router.  When I got the router, the BIOS software did not correctly support NTFS file systems, but subsequent updates eventually made this possible if you formatted the removable drive on a system in NTFS, you could then hang it on the router and "see" the contents, serve them via Windows Media Player, or iTunes, etc., etc. from a computer atteched to the network, or via wirless directly off the router.  I archived all my photos out on this file system and have successfully indexed it for use with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer, but...  When I went to install Elements 12 software I tried to install it without first removing Elements 10, and on a system which had run Elements 10 since the last full reoboot.  During the install of 12 under "shared services install" the installation process "Hung" on a background task with a name like "AdobeElementsAnalyzer.exe" which only shows up in Windows 7 task manager as a running process, not as a full program, but because the file was locked by the system, the install hung.  I eventually figured out that I needed to start the install of Elements 12 software immediately after having rebooted so that this program was not present in the background, and succeeded in completing an install of Elements 12 on my Windows 7 X64 system.  This system required a "special" software download for Premiere Elements, but not for Photoshop Elements which is only apparently avaliable under 32bit emulation mode.  I finally got the "shared components" portion of the X64 Premiere Elements to complete an install, and then set about verifying the onversion/upgrade of the indexes to my photos and video stored out on the NAS.  The same rogue task which prevented me from doing the install showed up agian, taking all the system resources away from my dual processor Intel chip and refusing to let go.   I was forced to terminate it from the task manager.  I strongly suspect that my "issues" are in part due to the extrordinary network latency imposed by the drive connection I'm using to index my photos and videos, and I'm looking for a better approach to using the editors against my master catalog of files, as well as figruing out just what I need to do to insure that all the files I have stored on the drive are accessible by the organizer when I need to pull a copy to work on.
    A complication is that I have two "legacy" Windows XP systems on my network, a reasonably fast Windows Vista Business desktop, and the Windows 7 X64 processor system which is the most powerful system I have.  The Windows file security enhancements to NTFS changed from XP, to Vista, to Windows 7, so files which get saved to the NAS disk inherit a variety of different levels of security under windows.  I have occasionally gone to one of my old XP boxes and "wiped" the security settings by resetting everything via Windows XP.  Because the NAS is so slow, this process can take several hours and must not be interrupted by attempts to do anything affecting the NAS by any of my other networked computers.  To avoid problems with my photo archive, it makes sense to me to do all my editing on copies which have been extracted from the NAS archive and stored on the C: drive (boot drive) of my Win X64 system. 
    What I seriously need to know is this:  When/If I define a "watched" portion of my file system, rather than taking the time to manually import every little change to my photo archives, can I expect the Photoshop Elements Organizer to work properly as long as everything stored on the NAS is stored via the same system which runs Elements with the same active "user" in control so that all the windows 7 file security settings putting stuff on the mapped NAS drive remain properly secured under Win 7 X64?  Frankly I don't care if the files appear "read only" to every other system and identity on my network, but I do need to be able to "see" them.  I have been able to view slide shows and movies stored on the NAS via both my networked iPad, my Apple TV, and using Samsung's funky android and Windows compatible software.  Frankly, I doubt that Microsoft or Apple has full understanding and control of the environment where there is no host "server" other than the eprom based stuff my Linksys E3000 loads to emulate early Windows Media Management architecture, but I mange to get it to work as long as I don't try anything sophisticated with the file permissions.   As a fall back, can I expect individual "imported" bits out on the NAS to remain stable if indexed and used only by the Elements Organizer running on my Win 7 X64 system?
    I am seriously considering converting an old WinXP desktop into a UNIX box which could be configured as a "Server" for everything stored on the NAS and be done with my problems in return for the power required to run the server all the time so stuff is there when I need it.  Any recommendations?

    Adobe hasn't said whether it officially supports PSE 7 on Windows 7.  But reports are starting to trickle in that PSE 7 works fine on Windows 7 for most people, though a couple people have reported crashes. My PSE 7 seems to work fine, though I primarily use PSE 8 now.  This is all very preliminary, and we'll learn more as more people post here.

  • Adobe premiere elements 4 minimizes to taskbar upon opening?

    Hi
    I use adobe premiere elements 4 and the minimizes to the taskbar and can't be maximized as soon as I try to start or open a project.  I then have to right click and close to exit.  Anyone have any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?  I get as far as the loading screen when opening projects and new project window when creating new projects before the program crashes to the taskbar.  I use windows 7 Profesional 64 bit.  It was working fine when I first installed and I just used it a few days ago?
    This guy had the same problem but with a newer version so mine may have a different fix but he describes my problem exactly.
    Help!  I'm stuck on the Task Bar and I can't get up!

    This comes up from time to time and appears to be the result of the DVD media that is used. Try some different DVDs.. slower ones if you can find them... 8x for example

  • Could Twixtor be used with Adobe Premiere Elements 9?

    Hello -
    I want to get the 2k fps slow motion in my videos and I was wondering if the Twixtor plug-in would work with Elements 9?  If it is, is there any installation or startup guide? Thanks!
    Zan

    I installed it into: Computer>OS(C:)>Program Files>Adobe>Adobe Premiere Elements 11>Plug-ins>en_US>editing modes and it works well.  It is a bit finickey if you cut you clip before applying Twixtor. To get it to work well you have to export the clip as an mpeg and re-import it before applying Twixtor to it.  This video is also very helpful as to how to use Twixtor in Premiere Pro, and it seems like the same interface in Elements.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAxaiK4GrEY&list=LLpA0dx4OaXYdUcZPoyqBimg

  • 1920x1080 Fiasco in Adobe Premiere Elements 9

    Hi all, I have been scouring the forums for an answer and so far, no luck. My problem is this. I have a Full HD camera and here are the properties for the video I am trying to render:
    Video
    Length 13:27
    Frame Width 1920
    Frame Height 1080
    Data Rate 17003kbps
    Total Bitrate 17132kbps
    Frame Rate 59/second
    Audio
    Bit Rate 128kbps
    Channels 20 Stereo
    Audio Sample Rate 48khz
    I have completed the video file editing in Adobe Premiere Elements 9 and I'm hung up on Rendering. I have tried rendering 5 different ways with awful results. The video is for upload to the web, Youtube actually, and I have rendered every way I can think of but the video quality on playback has horizontal bars that have delays. I have a 64 bit computer and every type of media viewer imaginable so I know it's not just a slow computer causing the weird playback. Also if it matters, the raw .mp4 file plays flawlessly through all media players with no issues. It's only after I attempt to replay the saved (and edited version) that I get these weird bars.
    I don't want to lose the HD quality but I also can't have a 4.5gig file either, the upload limit is 2 gig.
    Is there a way anyone has found to render 1920x1080 with the above settings for ease of upload, without sacrificing the Full HD quality?
    MANY MANY thanks, I am about to bang my head through the screen!
    Rachael

    Thank you all,
    (Neale)  I updated Quicktime for 64 bit processors and this doesn’t seem to solve the rendering issue.
    (VDOSurfer )– Youtube only has a single upload button, they do recommend project settings and they provide a list of settings to use to help with upload quality. Their recommended settings are as follows:
    [Container: .mp4 
    No Edit Lists (or you may lose AV sync)
    Video Codec: H.264   
    Progressive scan (no interlacing)
    High Profile
    2 consecutive B frames
    Closed GOP. GOP of half the frame rate.
    CABAC
    Variable bitrate. No bitrate limit required, though we offer recommended bit rates below for reference
    Color Space: 4.2.0
    Frame rates should match the source material    Content at 1080i 60, should be deinterlaced, going from 60 interlaced fields per second to 30 progressive frames per second before uploading.
    Resolutions
    YouTube uses 16:9 aspect ratio players. If you are uploading a non-16:9 file, it will be processed and displayed correctly as well, with pillar boxes or letter boxes provided by the player. If you want to fit the player perfectly, encode at these resolutions: 1080p: 1920x1080]
    (Ted) At the very start of this I originally rendered in .WMV (personally I prefer this format) with the highest settings I could access in APE9. I then moved on to attempt to reduce the bitrate to see if that would help somehow. The rendered .wmv video (along 4 other test renders in different formats) were uploaded to Youtube and I started with the lowest available playback preset on each, switching all the way to the highest available preset and all had lag time or bars, be it sawtooth, or blurred horizontal bars. This was after allowing Youtube to fully process the video. The horizontal bars are definitley more apparent when sharp/rapid movements are made. I have also watched the video on the iPad and a second PC and these bars are visible on all. I have several codec players and plugins on the laptop I'm using to run the AEP9 program on, and I have 212 Gig free on my PC with an additional 160 gig portable boost, so I have decent processing speeds. Strangely enough, the editing preview window in AEP9 shows a very clear picture and playback while I edit the file - which is great! It's when I render that the problems begin.
    I have explored rendering in several formats, I've pretty well walked down the list of all of the options available (less PAL) I've even tried H.264 project settings, and I’ve also let the program select project settings based on the clip and rendering the finished product to .m2v – I say .M2v because so far this has been the only setting that keeps the video quality intact but it unlinks the video and audio once rendered and creates two separate files - even with the multiplex option selected. The only other semi decent output was .wmv, the sound and picture matched perfectly but had slow horizontal lines with rapid motion. I’ve rendered 1080x720 as general practice to .wmv files with no problems in the past. It is only now, that I have upgraded to a full HD camera that captures videos in 1920x1080/60i (59fps) that I am having so many problems finding a good setting to render in that doesn’t create some sort of playback glitch.
    I guess I will keep playing with these settings. I almost wonder if there is a way to render to .mp4 at this point… I’m not even sure what will work anymore, or if an upgrade to a higher version of Adobe Premiere is in order (9 is what I have now). At this point I’d hate to have to downgrade – whether it be reducing the camera's recording size, or even reducing the raw file size to 1080x720, that would sort of defeat the entire purpose of upgrading to a better camera. Even if all of this wasn’t to create a 13 minute Youtube video, I would still like to know I can render SOMETHING at some point for whatever reason. Upgrading to a Full HD Camera with APE9 seems to be tough for this program to render, either that or I am just really dumb and missing something obvious (which is ENTIRELY POSSIBLE). lol!
    Alright all, thank you so much for your suggestions. I really do appreciate your time. I will keep trying!
    Thank you

  • Adobe Premiere elements 4 error

    I keep receiving this error message any time I use the edge feather video effect on pictures which on in psd file in adobe premiere elements 4
    http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p64/sapphirecharmed/premiere_error.png
    This problem just started early today. It was working fine yesterday.
    My computer specs:
    Custom made PC
    Windows XP Home sp.2
    2GB ram
    cpu 3.0 GHZ
    C:\ 240 GB D:\99.5 GB

    Along those lines, has the Edge Feather Effect ever worked for you? Do all of the other Effects work fine. Do a short "test" Project, say one Clip from the Samples. Add every Effect, that you can think of, one at a time, and Render, then Play. Maybe more than one Effect acting up.
    It could well be that that the .PMP file has become corrupted. If that is the case, a Repair Install could possibly find that, and fix it. I find Adobe's Repair Installs to be pretty good. Initially, they are slow, because they survey every module, plug-in and piece of the program, doing a checksum on it all. This is usually accurate, though I suppose the installer could miss something, and hence not repair it. Still, for me, they have cleaned up damaged files in the Adobe programs quite well. I'd always try this, before an uninstall/reinstall.
    Corruption, or similar, can occur for many reasons. One could be using it, and have a system, or program crash. An update to almost anything can overwrite, or otherwise render an element useless. Gremlins in the computer can eat part of the code. [OK, that last one is a joke, but things that are totally unexplained, can cause it - we never know exactly what it was.] Sometimes, I think that the 1's & 0's just get tired of being who they are, and decide to swap places for a while...
    Good luck,

  • How can I make Adobe Premiere Elements 9 run faster on my computer?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 running windows vista 32 bit, and recently adobe premiere elements 9 has been having really rough playback, meaning it will often freeze or skip many frames when I try to watch what I have edited. It also stops responding very often. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

    Almost any graphics adapter will do fine in PE9... it is not until you get to Premiere Pro that the graphics card makes a difference
    If you only have the usual one hard drive of a laptop, a 2nd drive will help
    Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
    You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
    Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
    You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708?tstart=0 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
    I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
    Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for video editing
    Steve Grisetti in the Premiere Elements forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856208?tstart=0 and Jim Simon in the Premiere Pro forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856433?tstart=0 use USB externals for editing
    A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used this eSata Dock... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers
