Adobe Premiere Elements 10: Buggy timeline?

So, after spending 1-2 months on trying to get PRE8 to work with FRAPS and setting it up, I have met nothing but trouble.
So I thought that it would be a good time to update myself, maybe. I decided to try a newer version of the program and
downloaded a trial for PRE10. I think it's great. My renders are improving in speed and quality and the playback is alot
better. BUT. The timeline is really buggy, and it is really, really, really annoying me. It takes more than double the time
to edit my footage and it just looks disorienting.
How do I fix this?

PRE uses codecs installed with QuickTime to render it's own displays. I believe it is to do with H.264 clips and so may be relevant to FRAPS clips which I think are highly compressed. It is this high compression and no direct editing of the FRAPS formats that makes it ill suited to PRE.
So yes, I say install the latest version. And as for those other drivers - did you check at the manufacturer's download sites? You cannot rely on Windows Updates to keep your drivers current. They are usually many months, sometimes years, out of date and worse, the occasional driver update from the Windows Update site can install older or incompatible drivers.
So go to the relevant site (AMD, nvidia, or Intel) and check - it only takes a moment.
Cheers,
Neale

Missing Visuals in video clips (Adobe Premiere Elements 10)

When I load up my video editting program (Adobe Premiere Elements 10) everything appears fine.
It's only when i try to load a video into the program that things go buggy.
The Video Clip appears on the timeline. The Audio works perfectly fine. However, the video, or image for that matter doesn't appear in the "viewing screen" (can't think of the right word
If I add a video effect to the clip (for example, Auto Color) then the picture becomes visible.
But, when I then render the clip, the picture disappears once again.
I'm no expert with computers or programs so i am pretty lost on what's wrong.
The last time I used the program (which was about a week before New Years Eve, 2013) it was working perfectly fine. I've used the program for the past year with little to no problems, so I am baffelled as to why this has happened now.
Any kind of help would be really appreseated
I even still have the original disc I bought when i first installed the program, so if i need to uninstall then reinstall the program it will be eailly done..
Thanks in advanse for you help

CreweOnTheSofa
Along with the Intel Graphics there is something called "NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M"
nothing more then that.
That is probably at the core of your problems, and we need to explore this. My take on this is that you have 2 things going on here.
1. There is an epidematic of display problems targeted specifically at the Premiere Elements 10 user whose computer uses a NIVIDIA video card. (You have Premiere Elements 10 and one of your video cards is NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M.)
Typically the drill is to have the version of the video card driver up to date. In this case, the fix is to roll back the driver version far enough not to have the display problem. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has not stepped forward to correct the situation.
Check out the following link to see what you are up against regarding the NVIDIA side of things.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
2. On the other side of things, you have an integrated Intel Graphics card as well as the NVIDIA. There can be conflicts when two video cards/graphics cards are involved (independant of the NIVIDIA issue). Typically you see disabling of the integrated card, in your case the Intel Graphics. But, I am not sure where that would lead stability wise.
You could look at both areas and see if you have displays gains for one or the other. I would look at rolling back the NVIDIA first.
Please review, and then we can discuss this further.
Thanks.

-What model of camcordder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it?
I tried to add a video with the two devices.
Samsung HMX-H300
Video settings added to the project:

the same result.
-How did you get the video from this camcorder to your computer?
Files are copied to the flash card to the HDD.
-Have you ensured that a video clip from this camcorder is the first clip on your timeline so that the program can match its project settings to your video specs?
Yes. Video clip from this camcorder is the first clip in the timeline.
Parameters of the project and the video above.
-When your project settings match your video specs, you will NOT see a yellow orange line along the top of the timeline, above your video clips, in Expert mode. Is this the case with your project?
No. I suspect that the problem occurs in the video is displayed on the timeline.
Because the assets of the project and put the video thumbnail is displayed on this video.
at the time of the drop on the timeline displays only rectangular frame that meets the duration of the video itself. let go of the mouse button. Displays only the blue rectangle.
Thumbnails of the first and last frames do not appear. takes 2-3 seconds and Pr closed.
I believe that until you see the yellow line is not reached.
-Have you ensured that any photos you use are sized to no larger than 2000x1500 pixels in size?
Yes, size is not more than 2000x1500
- You're using a somewhat antiquated 32-bit operating system that can make limited use of your RAM load (which may explain why you only have 3 gigs of RAM), so you'll need to optimize your workflow by matching project settings to your video as closely as possible in order for the program to work effectively and stably.
yes, you're right. need to upgrade to 64bit. so I put 4GB of RAM, but I can not install 64bit Vindovs. no time. and available only 3.25 GB.
I would add, I hope it will help isolate the problem.
I've been tracking work in process monitor Pr. the very moment when it closes when you move the video on the timeline.

Adobe Premiere Elements 0.9 project crash, HELP!

This is the first time I am using these forums, so I hope I posted this in the right sektions.
I need help and solutions for a Project which constantly crashes on my Adobe Premiere Elements 0.9. This program has been awesome and helped me create some projects and videos successfully, up until.... well for about 3 days ago when my latest project crashed when I had just antered and checking the storyboard etc, triggering a "Serious Error" message and then it shuts down. I try again and again, but everytime I try to put something (any sound or video etc) on the storyboard and start working etc the same damn "Serious Error" message and then allways shuts down. It's allways this same and only project (which has worked fine before) that crashes like this...
In an attempt to first solve the problem myself I went through the Premiere Elements 9 files and deleted finnished projects and automatic saved process on projects etc, but still won't work even better... The funny thing is that when I open another project (a finnished project I left saved just in case) and go through the storyboard there and messes around a little and such, it won't crash nor trigger the same message as my latest project. And that program even has some effects on every footageclip on it too, but still it works fine. Haven't touched the program or the program until and since yesterday night to give it some rest but it still won't work, the project just keeps crashing like when and since it first started a few days ago.
I have also read through and tried some things from this Help/Troubleshoot page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/troubleshoot-damaged-projects-premiere-element s.html
I have so far been doing 1 and 2 of the "Beginning Troubleshooting", otherwise I have been reading it all and such. I am also kinda afraid to do the 3 of the first quests because I worked so hard on this project and even tough it just keeps crushing, I'm afraid to lose it. Other, I have deleted audios and such from my filegallery on my Adobe Premiere Eements, stuff I don't need anymore because its projects are already done. After I did that I also tried to create a new project just for testing. The amazing this about this is that this the new created project I created works just fine, I could do all kinds of the stuff, effects and advanced editing which I did on the same project before it started crushing. Tough I didn't save that test-project since I didn't find a reason to since it worked so good. And so the thing is that I can start and create a new project and start working and do usual stuff on it with no problem, same when I open up another project and do stuff, it all works just fine! It is just this one and only project that keeps crushing with this "Serious Error" message, all the time... Does anybody else have, or has had the same problem? What could the problem and error be and how to fix it?
This crushing project do has some effects on every footageclip/videoclip on it, to set the right mood for the musicvideo I'm making. I am making a musicvideo, and I haven't even done the half of the project/video. The song I am making this musicvideo with is about 00:07:32 in length, and (tough this detail may have no influence or meaning) the music is Symphonic Metal. The actual file of the song is 6,96 MB in size. This is also not the first time I've done such projects with such long songs on this same program either, one of my last videos I managed to successfully make and create a musicvideo with a song which was about 13 minutes and 30 seconds in length, and I also used effects on pretty much every videoclip on that project too.
The current filesize so far on the actual project.prel-file of my project that keeps crushing is 9.73 MB.
I am also using Adobe Premiere Elements and doing this troubleing, crashing project on a PC, a Fujitsu Windows (I believe Windows 7, or even updated to a newer version?). It has a regular ATI-card. The computer also has 2 modems and there's still some pretty GB amount free on them. The PC's main system also has a RAM in 6.00 GB and the operative system is the 64-bites.
In short, the PC should just fine be able to handle Adobe Premiere Elements 0.9 and all its projects, just as it has handled it all before plus all my PC games at that. So it must be something with my Adobe Premiere Elements and that specific project which is the problem, but what is the problem and the serious error and how to fix it?
Could it help to save and create the actual video in this crashing project, delete that project then start a new project, upload and put in the videofile of the crashing project in that new project and then continue from there?
In either cases, I need help with this. Please, help!

Thanks so much for your reply, Steve!
Even tough I trust you guys enough here on the official Adobe site/forums to answer those questions as best I can, I am at the same time not very fond of giving away too much information because of safety. I understand I have to If I'm to recieve the accurate answers and solution, but as this is the internet you can never know. But again, I trust you guys enough on here and thus I'll try to answer those questions as best I can, even tough I am not very good with such stuff about computers. The PC I am using is also not only mine, it is the family computer also which me and my whole family uses.
The operating system on my computer (according to the computer propotions etc) is a 64-bites operating system and the computer/PC is also a Windows 7 Home Premium.
The processor the computer/PC have is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU and the RAM is 6.00 GB. However, (and I hope I make this understandable because the computer/PC is in swedish)the subscore of RAM in the computer's Performance-Classification/Ranking is 7,5. The processor subscore is 7,3 per second. And the free space? Well, we have two modems, let's say a modem A and a modem B. Adobe Premiere Elements 0.9 is set to save all its stuff etc on modem B, while modem A is the main modem and spaces all main stuff and other things of the computer/PC. Modem A has about 314 GB of free space, while modem B has 207 GB of free space. Modem A's capacity is a total of 489 GB in which 175 GB has been used, the modems filesystem is a NTFS. Modem B is also a NTFS filesystem and its capacity is a total of 439 GB in which 232 GB has been used. And the Disk Cleanup? I believe my that latest ran it for about a few weeks ago. We also have a CCleaner also. But about the Disk Defragmenter, I have no idea. What exactly does a Disk Defragmenter do?
You mean, entering my project that keeps crushing and simply rename it by using "Save As"? If that is what you mean, I dunnow If that actually worked. When I still tried to do stuff and edit the crashing project (tough as said, it hardly took any changes and process before it triggered that message) and then crashed and shut down, and I opened up the program again (trying to open the same project that way), it asked me If I wanted to re-create the missing process from the last crash of the same project. I tried it and it automaticly was renamed to a for example Project.copy. But when I tried to work with that it was to no futher success, the project kept crashing. I haven't renamed the project by "Save As" tough, but I doubt it'll work, I even tried to rename the actual project file in the Adobe Premiere Elements files but nope... the project keeps crashing. But also about the same question, "Save As" under a new name but in its own folder? You mean the actual project folder or Adobe Premiere Elements preview folder of the projects?
My camcorder is pretty old by now, have had it since I turned 15, it has worked pretty good since then. Its model is a Sony Handycam, Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar OPTICAL 20x. Even tough the last thing maybe doesn't say anything, this is all I know about my camcorder, except that it is a model no. DCR-HC17E PAL. But in that Project which keeps crashing, there are only a few actual camcorder clips used as I am making a Game-MusicVideo and most of the footage of the Video-game (actually a PC game) I'm making a musicvideo of is downloaded from Youtube mostly from a guy I asked permission for to download his recorded footage of the game. I used a Youtube downloader called ClipConverter. As I don't have a SD card I cannot make this footage myself. But some footage I recorded on my camcorder, but If I can find high quality clips and get them, I will. The other footages is actual official trailers of the PC games which also was downloaded from the net. But I can give you the stuffs filetypes and hoping that may help. The downloaded footage which was downloaded by this ClipConverter, are MP4 files. The other stuff (which were official trailers) and most of them are also MP4 files, the others are QuickTime-film files. Many of these downloaded footages and trailers are also in HD quality, at least some of them I think.
The actual filetype ofthe footage I myself recorded with my camcorder are, well.... it says Videoclip in the file. Maybe it is AVI?
The project settings? You mean the settings you set at first when starting as a new project? The general settings are, in editingsettings it is AVCHD 270p square pixel. This is kinda hard for me to tell since everything is in swedish in my program. But these settings has worked perfectly before, same with all files, footages and videoclips I have been using, also all the soundfiles etc. Even the actual crashing project worked perfectly before it started crashing... So why does it so suddenly start crashing now?
The audio is a song I copied directly from its album and CD into the computer/PC and it seems to be in WMA format in filetype.
And lastly, no I haven't rendered the timeline of the project ever, not even on my other projects. What does the rendering do and is useful for? I have very little knowledge of it. Other, I keep the Timeline mode open all the time because I can edit my videos much better with it, but perhaps that editing method make little influence of the actual problem.
Other, yesterday when writing the post and topic, I forgot to mention that I restarded my computer right after I created a new project, that testing project. When finnished with the testing I restarted the computer. Since then I haven't touched the crashing project since now tonight, when checking its settings for this post. I am also right now trying to create and save the actual videofile of it, saving it on my computer. I'll soon see If it's successful without any crashing interruptions, plus that the video itself works and is smooth when I'll play it on Windows Media Player like all the rest of my other videos. I do this just in case I must create a new project to be able to continue with my musicvideo, as the first part of it I worked very hard on.
Other and again, I am still puzzled about why this is even happening, that this project which worked perfectly fine before, just suddenly starts triggering that "Serious Error" message and crashes. And in this program which worked so perfect before. Has this happened to anyone else before? Has anyone else experienced the same issue I have? Is this a knowledgable issue which has solutions and ways to fix it?... :/

Can't open Adobe Premiere Elements 9

I've had some problems with Adobe Premiere Elements 9 recently, and right now I'm not able to use it. I'm not sure what the problem is really or how to fix it so I'll just write down what has happened here and hopefully someone knows what to do.
A week or so ago my laptop started to crash repeatedly, but fortunately that was solved. But then I noticed that when I opened Adobe Premiere Elements, that's when it crashed and only then. It stopped crashing altogether except for when I opened this program (if it is of any importance I also tried opening Windows Movie Maker to edit there in the meantime but the same thing happened there, which seems strange and kinda random to me). I decided to get an antivirus software and install that and see if that took care of it, which I have now done. That didn't exactly take care of it though. The laptop did stop crashing when opening the Adobe software, but nothing happens once it's opened. The tabs on the top right are there but the whole program is just grey (where you would normally have the timeline on the bottom, video to the left, and the files etc. to the right) and nothing else comes up. I then tried to uninstall Adobe Premiere Elements 9 from my laptop altogether and then re-install it with the CD I still had from purchasing the laptop a couple of years ago. But after re-installing there is no change. Just a grey screen once again, except for the tabs and all that on the top. Now I'm not sure what else to try. It's frustrating as I need this program to work right about now. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks.

Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere elements to shut down. We wil attempt to save your current project. This error occures when Im adding a .mov movie.

Hello everybody
I have a new laptop and when I want to add a .mov movie to Adobe premiere elements, this error occures. Im trying to solve this problem now for days but I dont know how to continue. Im working with Windows XP, Version 2002, T2250, 0.99 RAM and an old Premiere elements 2004 version.
On my old computer I was able to add this same .mov movies, but not on the new one.
I also tried to convert this .mov movies, but the quality was to bad...
Does anybody know this problem? Im appreciating every little advice and help.
Thanks a lot
Sabine

Sabine
Sorry for all the delays getting your thread moving forward. I suspect that it got lost in the daily thread traffic and Adobe's major updating of the forums.
Do your issues still exist. If they are the same as when you posted on May 8th, then
1. When you used HandBrake for the converslion of your .mov file, did you leave the Container = Mp4. And under Video Tab, did you set the Videc Codec = H.264 (x264)? All you needed to do at that point was dot the Constant for the frame rate and designate a frame rate and select the Start button and wait for the Queue Finished message in the progress bar at the bottom left of the HandBrake workspace.
2. What model iPhone is the video coming from? Your iPhone is probably giving you HD video (probably 1080p). So increasing the computer's installed RAM from 2.00 to 4 GB would be expected to help the overall workflow. Only if you have a 64 bit computer operating system, 8 GB installed would be even better. The 4 GB installed RAM is the maximum supported by a 32 bit computer operating system.
3. Specially for
The movie is stopping and jumping.
When you are playing back the Timeline content, are you looking at the "rendered Timeline"? Is there an red line over the content during that playback? If so, press the Enter key and wait for the render process to complete. This rendering process gives you the best possible preview of what you are seeing. The red line could be due to your editing the content, or it could be due to an incorrect selection of project settings. If you supply information about your video properties, we can suggest the best possible project settings. I do not recall seeing that you mentioned what version of Premiere Elements that you are using 1, 2, 3, 4 or other?
Please review the above and then let me know what supplemental information and/or clarification would help.
Thank you.

Adobe Premiere Elements 12 doesn't import MOV Files

Hi, All!
I'm working on Windows 8.1 64 bit and use Adobe Premiere Elements 12. I've downloaded and installed on my PC latest version of Apple QuickTime 7.7.4.1680.86 from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
I've trying to use some free stuff from http://www.detonationfilms.com/Stock_Directory.html and mix it with my video. You may download example of Pre-Keyed Explosions using direct link: http://www.detfilmsshockwave.com/DVExplosion01.zip or any other stuff from this site...
...but my Adobe Premiere Elements 12 with installed the latest updates doesn't import these MOV Files with codec PNG Image
In fact, Apple does not offer ProRes components for QuickTime on Windows, but I don't know do this problem interact with my trouble?
IMHO, it's best to look at the crash logs for QT32Server! I've found executable QT32Server on my PC in next folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\CAHeadless\32\Adobe QT32 Server.exe, but can't found any import logs on my Windows 8.1 including hidden folders. I have trying to check the windows events log for errors %windir%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s but it contains no necessary items.
I have trying to re-install version 6.5.2 of Apple QuickTime, but without success. May be I must try to install any other older version, i.e. 7.5.5 ?
I think perhaps such behavior of Adobe Premiere Elements 12 is in design?
May be I'd try third party free video converter, like SUPER e.t.c. to convert MOV container to AVI?
Please help me to find a way to fix this problem.
Sincerely yours,

What is this "codec PNG image" that is contained/wrapped by the .mov format? What are the video and audio properties of this video...frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio, et al.
It sounds like you have Premiere Elements 12 is running on some version of Windows with QuickTime (latest version) installed on the same computer as Premiere Elements. Great. Requirement for QuickTime met.
Where is this PNG.mov coming from? And what type of .avi were you thinking to convert to?
Premiere Elements 12 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime does offer an export with a PNG video codec with the .mov file extension. I am in the process of exporting my Timeline to that type of file and then determining if I can import that back into Premiere Elements 12 project.
When your png.mov will not install into Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1 64 bit, what is the specific message that you are getting from the program at that time.
More shortly after my export of the png.mov is finished. Any minute now.
ATR
Add On....The png.mov produced by Premiere Elements 12 Window 7 64 bit could be imported into a Premiere Elements 12 project. I am now going to my laptop which has Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1 64 bit to do the same thing and see what happens there. Back soon.

Adobe premiere elements 12 - how to create menu bar action for my inserted image button

adobe premiere elements 12 - how to create menu bar action for my inserted image button without using their movie menu theme

forbemag
I do not think that I am completely focused into this completely, so let us see if the following is going to help.
You are going to need a base for your button. When you mention "image" button, I am assuming that you are using that term to differentiate between a text button and a thumbnail type button.
The menus (main and scene) take their origin in .psd files on the hard drive and strict nomenclature and structure for Layers Palatte. And, the buttons on the menus trace back to the menu markers on the Timeline, main menu marker and order of placement of scene markers. The scene thumbnail will only appear when there is a scene marker on the Timeline to which it.
In view of all that
Where have you already inserted this "image (button)"...into the Layers Palette of a Photoshop document or other? Is this "image (button)" in a structured Layer Group in the Layers Palette with sublayer groups, text layers, graphic/background layer"?
Let me give you an example
If you have a button (with thumbnail) on the main menu and you want that to open to a specific scene in your movie, then you use a main menu marker on the Timeline at the spot that you want that button to target.
If I am getting closer to what you seek, then please further clarify the DVD navigational envisioned scheme.
Thanks.

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.

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

Problems with Adobe Premiere Elements 10

I have an old AVI file and I want to change it a little by adding a couple frames to call things out in the video. I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 10. When I bring the AVI into Premiere it looks OK but it is very blurry compared to what it looks like when I just run the avi outside of Premier using windows Media Player. Is there a reason it looks like this and is there anything I can do to make it as clear as the original file?

I don't know what type of AVI file it is, I made this file about 15 years ago. I'll try and download the Codec later when I get home, what is that going to do?
As soon as I bring the file into Premiere it is blurry in the preview window. I just changed Playback Quality to Highest and it didn't get any better. It is blurry as soon as I bring it into Premiere. I have already re-saved one of the renderings and there were black "splotches" that appeared during some of the video playback.
I went to the EDIT menu/Preferences/General and I can't find any Timeline Rendering Quality setting. Can you be more specific?
where do I change the Timeline rendered or unrendered at playback in Edit area monitor?
Where do I check to see if the project presets match properties of source media?
It has been a while since I have used Premiere and if you don't use it you lose it.
The way I originally made this file was I saved each individual frame using 3D Studio Max (Release 7ish) and then put the entire thing back together by adding the frames that I wanted from 2 different camera point-of-view. The video likes pretty good when I run it in any viewer but as soon as I drop it into Premiere to cut it and add a couple frames it gets very blurry right from the start. I hope this helps.

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.

No, you need to create a project that matches what you are editing

Adobe premiere elements 10 Quality and audio issues

Im using adobe premiere elements 10 and im trying to edit my videos that i got form the elgato ive allays had no problems until two days ago when i import a video to work on it the quality goes to **** and the audio gets messed up and i when i check the video on elgato its perfect so something is going wrong and i need your help to fix it.

op c
On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running? And, what video card/graphics card does this computer use? NVIDIA GeForce?
If so, stop and let us know.
From what I have read, if you are using Elgato Video Capture, you are probably working on a Mac computer capturing H.264 or MPEG-4 640 x 480 with AAC audio. Is that correct? If so, what is the file extension of the capture that you put on the Premiere Elements 10 Mac Timeline?
Have you changed any of the default settings for Elgato Video Capture under its preferences?
How does this recent bad video's properties compare with others from the good video with which you had no problems?
What is the project preset that you are setting in either case?
Can you still bring the "good" Elgato captures into a Premiere Elements 10 Mac project and they are still "good" while the recent ones on that
same Timeline look not so good?

On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates?
If not, please do so.
You have not given us enough information with which to help you.
What are the properties of your source file that is presenting in the project with audio but no video?
Quickest way to gain that information is from brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video.
I am looking for
video compression
audio compression
frame size
frame rate
interlaced or progressive
file extension
pixel aspect ratio
What does the file's thumbnail look like in Project Assets after it is imported....thumbnail with no image (gray), thumbnail with only an audio icon
within it, or other? On the Timeline, what do you see represented in Video 1....nothing as opposed to Audio 1 where you see the audio portion of
the file?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 13/13.1? Are you running the programs as
administrator?
Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
Let us start here. Based on your reply details, we will customize troubleshooting strategy for you.
