Adobe Premiere Elements 11 is not responding

I work on a macbook pro. I have Adobe premiere elements 11. I uploaded video to a new project. I dragged some of the thumb nails onto the timeline on Thursday and successfully edited. Today I dragged a few more onto the timeline and began editing. All of a sudden, the cursor begins spinning. I go to force quit and it tells me that the program is not responding. I quit and tried again. I have rebooted my computer a number of times, but to no avail. Any suggestions as what I can try to keep the program running and edit my project? Should I just open a new project and start from scratch since I haven't edited many of the interviews?
Thanks.

Please determine if you can open a new project without problems.
Do you work with the AutoSave ON in preferences (Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoSave)? If so, go to the Adobe Premiere Elements Auto Save Folder and go through the Auto Saves
seeking one that will open after you double click it. Each of those AutoSaves is the project file at different phases of your editing. If you get one that opens, then build it back to where you were before you ran into the problem.
If you can get to the build back from an AutoSave, I would watch closely to see what addition to the project sends the project back into trouble again. Then we target
the addition for troubleshooting.
Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

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?

Adobe Premiere Elements 11 does not open

Hello,
I just bought adobe photo elements 11 and premiere 11. I already had a trial version from Photo Elements11. With the code I could activate the whole program so this succeeded.
However, I tried to install Adobe Premiere elements 11 (several times) I installed and de-installed and re-installed a couple of times but with no success. During the installation process it does go through the whole installing procedure and everything seemed ok; the icon appears on my desktop but when I try to click to open it, it doesn't open..(it's not doing anything at all, you see the mouse turning into that "swirl circle" very briefly then it stops and nothing opens)
I also tried to download the trial version and hoped with the code I could open it, but nothing happen there either.
Hope you can help me out. I also didn;t receive any error messages.
I have a Intel Core i5-2430M - 2,4 Ghz, Windows7.
thanks!
Inge

Could be the auxilairy processes failing to initialize. Perhaps the event viewer can provide some clues:
Working with your Operating System’s Tools
Could also be an issue with teh activation stuff, so try running Help --> Deactivate in PSE, then launch PRE to bring up the activation dialog....

Adobe premiere Elements 12 will not open editor

I had Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on my laptop and worked fine. Decided to upgrade to Elements 12 and did but version 12 will not open editor, says sign in, I sign in but no editor. Organizer opens and loaded my Photos and videos. I purchased full retail version for download. My laptop runs windows 8.1 and has an Intel Core i5 dual core processor and 4GB ram.

Have you gone to Computer/Manager/Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Applications and looked for error entries that appear to be associated with this problem?
Did you purchase Photoshop Elements 12 as well as Premiere Elements 12, and does Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor open whereas Premiere Elements 12 will not open to its Expert or Quick workspaces?
You have probably tried it, but can you open to the Premiere Elements workspaces from the Elements Organizer workspace?
More later.

Adobe premiere elements 12 will not open keeps crashing

I am on a mac using osX 10.8.5 and my program will not open. It just keeps crashing. i have tried shutting down my computer several times but it will not work. The Organizer seems to to work but not the Video editor and it shuts down when i click "new project" any ideas anyone?
i'm on version 12

Hi Jacquima,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
It seems like Premiere Elements 12 is not activated properly.
Please open the finder window and click on go and choose computer.
Navigate to the below path then
MacHD>Library>Application support>Adobe
Rename the files SLstore and Slcache to Slstore.old and Slcache.old respectively.
Launch Premiere elements 12 again it will prompt you to enter your Adobe id and password and then the serial number.
By following the above steps you will have to reactivate your Adobe products. Make sure you have no other Adobe product.
If you have any other adobe product installed make sure you have the serial number for that.
Thanks

Adobe premiere elements 13 can not open avi on my Mac. What can I do?

I just bought adobe premiere elements 13. I hoped that it would help to open an avi on my brand new Mac, which iMovie of course did not open. (That's why I spend the money on premiere!) I got the file from a disc, and I don't know what kind of camera took the pictures. Premiere 13 should open AVI's. What is wrong?

franks
Premiere Elements 13 Mac should be an .avi import only. But, avi is just a file extension (container/wrapper format), which wraps the video and audio compressions of the file.
Although the program might support a particular video compression and a particular file extension (container/wrapper format), it may not support the combination of a particular combination of video compression with file extension for a file.
What are the properties (video compression et al) of your video file with the file extension of .avi?

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!
Computer Information:
Windows Edition : Windows Vista Home Premium 2007
Computer Type: Sony Vaio
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3200 @2.00GHz
Memory (RAM): 3.00GB

taylor_peterson92
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.

Adobe premiere elements 13 does not run

Hy,
I bought adobe photoshop and premiere elements 13 and installed first of all adobe premiere on my laptop with windows 8. Every time I start the program it tells me to register the program and to accept the therms and conditions of adobe. After I ACCEPTED THEM NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS; THE PROGRAM STOPS SOMEHOW????
I reinstalled the program, I registered the Program directly at the homepage, nothing solved the problem...
Heeeeeeeelp me please!!!!!!

Gerold
Thanks for the reply. While reading through it, I was struck by
I work with a normal Compaq LAPTOP 1,72 GHZ and 2 GB RAM Windows 8.
The processor clock speed is low, but look at the installed RAM of 2 GB. I suspect much too low. If you have high definition project with video compression like AVCHD, you should be in for major problems even if you get the program to open. So, this is a major concern even at the level of trying to get the program to open in that computer environment. How many RAM slots does your computer motherboard have? Can you get at least 4 to 8 GB total installed RAM?
True, your Premiere Elements 13 is a 64 bit application running on Windows 8.1 64 bit and it can take advantage of the 64 bit resources. But you do not appear
to have much 64 bit resources for this to be a positive factor.
With regard to a possible factor that you mentioned...
If you suspect leftovers from previously uninstalled program(s), it is a good idea to go through the scenario
a. uninstall the program the usual control panel way
b. do a free ccleaner run through to get rid of leftovers from incomplete installs and reinstalls
CCleaner - Download
c. reinstall the program with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
Please review and consider. And, then we can discuss the above factors further.
Thank you.

Adobe photoshop elements 11 organizer, NOT RESPONDING

I installed 11 yesterday and have converted existing catalogs, imported new media, including some movie clips. While in organizer I watched some of the short movies ( 2 minutes or less). I opened, watched and closed 2 or three movies and then Organizer just hangs in the "not responding" category of windows 7. This has occcurred 3 times. There are 18,000 items in organizer. This machine has 4 GB of memory and lots of disk space. Any ideas?

If You don’t need people recognition and the auto-analysis options you could turn everything off to improve performance. Go to:
Edit >> Preference >> Media Analysis
Uncheck all the boxes and click OK

I have adobe premiere elements 12 can not open wmv file made in windows 8 ?

wmv file not recognized

tikkadog
From what I have read that Life Frame offers .avi, .asf, and .wmv files. Those are just file extensions. The video compression and audio compression of the file are the first things to define.
If you cannot find that information in your User Guide, then please put the problem video file through the gpsot utility to find out
Video (Name, Codec, and Status)
and
Audio (Name, Codec, and Status).
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
and whatever other information you can find there, example, frame size, frame rate, etc.
You could also try recording to .avi instead of .wmv, but there again we would be up against the video and audio compression used.
Let us see what file information you can put together so that you can try to resolve the issue.
We will be watching for your results.
Thank you.

Adobe premiere elements 11 not responding.

Adobe premiere elements 11 says, "not responding" and asks me if I want to close the program. I have done this multiple times and nothing has worked. I am getting very frustrated and am not impressed by this program. What can I do to fix it?

hunttofilmt
Here is what I was like you to look at and determine if this workflow behaves any differently than the one that you are using now. I am assuming that you are having similar problems with Go Pro Hero 3's 960p @ 48 progressive frames per second and with the Canon's 1080p @ 24 progressive frames per second.
Let us confine these initial tests to the Canon 1080p24, for now to avoid any complications of editing 960p48 in Premiere Elements.
1. Open Premiere Elements 11 and go to File Menu/New/Project and set the project preset to
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p24
or
PAL
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p24
depending on whether you have a NTSC or PAL install for your Premiere Elements 11.
Before you exit the new project dialog, be sure to put a check mark next to Force Selected Project Settings on this Project.
2. Import your 1080p24 into the project using Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets.
3. In Project Assets, double click the file there to open the Preview Window and proceed to trim your video.
Here is a description of the process from my blog post. Please cross check what you are doing with the steps that I used in the blog post demo.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/06/pe11-project-assets-organization-for.html
If that is not successful, then stop and let us know.
If that is successful, then let us look at the 960p48...there is an atypical format for Premiere Elements. Here we are going to set the project preset manually as in the case with the Canon, but here we are going to use the project preset of:
NTSC
DV
Standard
or
PAL
DV
Standard
depending on whether you have a NTSC or PAL install for your Premiere Elements 11.
Before you exit the new project dialog, be sure to have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting for this Project.
Then continue with the import and trimming of the video in the Preview Window as you did with the 1080p24 footage.
Looking forward to your results.
Thanks.
ATR
Add On....By the way, how is your external hard drive formatted NTFS or FAT32? Depending on the results from the above mini tests, please look at importing/trimming one of your 1080p24 in the 1080p24 project but import the 1080p24 from a computer desktop save location instead of the external hard drive.
