Adobe Premiere Elements 12 start up problem.

I just purchased and installed Adobe Premiere Elements 12.  I have a new pc with windows 8.1. Premiere required that I run the program as an administrator (???).  So I ran it as administrator and it starts up, but then immediately closes itself.

Thanks for the update on the issue details.
Bottom line: I am suspecting an Open With directive problem.
Details.....
Please excuse the questions, but I do not want to take anything for granted
Checking the Creation of a New Project
a. If you double click the desktop icon of Premiere Elements 12.1, does the program open to the Welcome Screen?
In the Welcome Screen can you then select Video Editor followed by New Project to open a new project?
b. Can you open the program and a new project by double clicking on the Adobe Premiere Elements 12.exe or Adobe Premiere Elements.exe found
Local Disk C
Program Files
Adobe
12
and in the 12 Folder are these two files. The Adobe Premiere Elements 12.exe should open to the Welcome Screen and the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe opens bypassing the Welcome Screen.
Checking the Opening of a Saved/Closed Project
Now for your workaround...You right click a video file on the hard drive and select Open With and have the opportunity to select specifically Premiere Elements 12. It works. You have a new project, edited, and you save/close it. But, it is the re-opening of that saved/closed project.prel file that I suspect as being at the core of the problem.
so I double clicked the project file I had been working on and it said 'The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements' (even though I had only just saved it from that version).
Where is this project.prel file that you are double clicking to re-open your saved/closed project? And, how do you get to it? What is its hard drive save location - Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/12.0? If so, what happens if you right click the project prel there and select Open With, followed by Premiere Elements 12?
Please review and consider.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Effects Problem - HELP

    I use Adobe Premiere Elements 11, and when I use effects the footage ends up speeding up, repeating itself, and just not staying the same as it originally was. Does this have to do with what type of footage it is. I am using screen-captures that I got when using Bandicam. If anyone could help me with this problem, it would be greatly appriciated, thanks.

    Gamerwalk,
    One option would be to convert your odd AVI-MPEG file to DV-AVI, which is what PrE loves most. This FAQ Entry will give you some tips on doing that: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0
    I use an older file conversion program, DigitalMedia Converter 2.7, but it is NOT freeware. Also, Deskshare, the publisher, has released newer versions.

  • Uploading using Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Network problems

    Hi,
    Is there a place in Adobe Premiere Elements 12 that we can insert our company proxy details, the reason being. When I go to Publish and Share and click "Social Websites" and want to upload a video to youtube and push next it gives the following error "Online Services encountered an error. The services will be terminated or paused if possible."
    If I use a 3G card it allows us to upload. Our network must be blocking this link or programme, yet we have made sure from our side adobe is not blocked on the network and I have access to all websites.
    My question is can we insert proxy details somewhere or can I get the link of where that link is taking us to when pushing next trying to upload with youtube via adobe . I know it is going to youtube but I need the exact URL to make sure we allow this link to work.
    Anyone have the answer for me?

  • Adobe Premiere elements 12 publishing problem.

    After making a video in Adobe Premiere Elements 12, I decided to publish it to my computer. However, once it finished rendering it only came out as an audio. The visual video didn't show at all. It played as if it were a song. How can I fix this?

    Sparkles3216
    If your videos worked with Premiere Elements 10, then they should work with Premiere Elements 12.
    From what I have read in this thread, your source seems to be files in amv video format (proprietary) which seem to have relations to MotionJPEG video compression and .avi file extension. Challenging, but. What is the actual file extension of your amv files?
    AMV - MultimediaWiki
    If you can post a sample of one of these videos that are going into your Premiere Elements 12 project and losing sound in the export from Premiere Elements 12, I would be glad for the opportunity to check it out for you in various versions of Premiere Elements, including 10 and 12. You might send the sample in a Dropbox link posted in your thread reply.
    My only requirement is the assurance that you have permission to work with these videos. YouTube license does not allow for downloads of its videos. A person can create a YouTube account, sign into YouTube, can upload a video, and later download his or her own, but not the video of others without permission.
    I still do not see the support for the file in Premiere Elements (any version). But if you say that the file worked in Premiere Elements 10, as I said, it should work in Premiere Elements 12.
    More later.
    Thanks.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 4 - Rendering Problem

    If I create small slide shows in Photoshop Elements 6 (ranging from 59 - 125 JPEG Still Shots with captions and/or added text)I can then send each slide show separately into Premiere Elements 4, make further adjustments and add title pages, I can then render and save as a project.
    If I take several of these slide shows as a block and send them to Premiere Elements 4, I get a Premiere Elements window stating "Adobe Premiere Elements is running very low on system memory, please save your project and proceed with caution". So I click OK and save. I then go to render, after 2-4% rendering I get a video Preview Error window with various warnings including, "Out of Memory - Unknown Error" or "Disc write error:- verify drive connections, available disc space and disc access privileges. Then save close and relaunch project".
    If I open a slide show project in Premiere Elements 4 and try to add a second slide show to it via the get media button - in the Add Media window I get Look in 4.0 and five folders appear (no icons for projects) I can then look in files of type and there is no listing for .prel files so tried "all files" and the icons for the slide shows appear. I then select a second slide show to add to the first and click open. I now get an Add Media Failure window which gives file addresses and the error reads "File format not supported/ one of the necessary components may not have been installed".
    I have run the installation disc again to repair any installation errors but to no avail.
    My computer is an Intel core 2 duo 3.16 GHz on an Asus P5Q P45M M/board with Gigabyte GF9600GT Graphics card.750GB HDD & 4GB Ram.
    Hope somebody can help.

    Most likely your photos are too large. We recommend using no larger than photos no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size. (The actual file size of the JPEGs has nothing to do with this, since JPEGs can be highly compressed.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Uploading Problem - HELP

    I recorded some footage with Bandicam, then editted it, using a lot of clipping and cropping of the footage to give it a widescreen look. When I uploading it, I choose the setting of "High Definition Video for YouTube". When it finally uploaded, it looked out of wack. Footage was shrunk down and the cropping was off. When I re-uploaded it under the setting of "Flash Video for YouTube" it came out perfectly, just not in high quality. What setting should I use this time?

    With versions earlier than 11, there is no more Sign In. If you get any message to that effect, ignore and cancel out of them. You should be able to move forward to your import, editing, and exports using the program nonetheless.
    As for the disc menus, those marked photoshop.com plus members only are no longer available to you in versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 11. You may see the thumbnails for those members only items, but they are no longer available to you in Premiere Elements earlier than 10.
    Interestingly, many of them are found in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as part of the program with no need to purchase them or have any special membership in anything. Adobe has promoted Adobe Revel as a replacement for photoshop.com, but that has no impact on this disc menus issue.
    This all has to do with Adobe discontinuing photoshop.com and photoshop.com plus et al.
    If you need to download regular disc menus for Premiere Elements 10, please review the following

    Bottom lines:
    1. No more Sign In for Premiere Elements 10

    Hi Everyone,
    While Adobe Premiere Elements 10 is just working fine, Premiere Elements 11 won't start. I choose "Video Editor" from the Welcome screen, then select either open project or create new project. I then get to see pink/grey status bar, but nothing else happens. Elements just won't start. Note: The Organizer is working fine.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 11 & Photoshop Elements 11 Errors, Downloading Problems, Uninstalling probs

    On May 8, 2013 I ordered Adobe Premiere Elements 11 & Photoshop Elements 11. To this day they do not work properly, did not download properly, nor can I get them uninstalled properly to reinstall properly. I have not been able to contact Adobe all these months, & now they tell me I have to pay $39.00 more just to speak to them. I refuse to give them anymore money than I have already gave them! Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue? I currently  have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 & Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0. I was upgrading. 

    Thank you so much for replying. But I sort of solved the problem, yet I didn't solve the problem. I am running Windows 7 on my computer. When I purchased Elements & Premiere 11, I purchased a 1 time download from Adobe. Upgrading from 7.0. When I went to download it, then install it, it told me that through an error message, that it was not downloaded or installed correctly, so I would have to uninstall the whole thing & start from scratch, basically. So, I went into the control panel to delete the program. Hit uninstall, & it told me after it was done, that everything was not uninstalled & had uninstalled incorrectly. Now it was missing from the Control Panel, & I could not find the remains anywhere, I thought I would try to redownload it again. So, going through the process, it would let me download it, but it would not install due to the remains of the previous installation. I tried everything. And when I tried to go straight to Adobe, it was a no go. I put it on the back burner for months & used my 7.0 occassionally. Today I decided I wanted it fixed. I went to Adobe...my licenses are still in my account. But no matter what I did, it would not accept my old licenses. With the help of a previous poster, maybe on a different thread, I was able to uninstall the old program remnants. But I could still not download 11. I just decided to cut my loses, & purchased 12. I bought the trials, downloaded them, they worked great, & I purchased them. So, all's well that ends well. Of course, I am $170-some dollars in the hole, but whatever it takes. Again thank you for your reply to my delima.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 12 don't start and crashes

    I only have one account that is Admin on this pc aswell.
    I also tried to run the program as "admin" with right mouse buttom, but it's the same error thier.

    So what should I do so I can use the program that I actually bought serval weeks ago?
    But still cant use.... Anyone that know of this problem?

    How long ago did you purchase Premiere Elements 12? If it is within the last 30 days, you might be eligible for a free move to version 13. You need to contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat to discuss that as soon as possible if that is something of interest to you. There may be some debate about the way to make contact, but, if you purchased from Adobe direct as an online download, I would contact Adobe Chat by clicking on the following and following through with Chat Panel.

    If the link does not open as set, then you will need to navigate to Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
    If you stay with 12, then there are several areas to pursue
    1. Can you open the program by going to the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file, right clicking it and selecting Run As Administrator, and then double clicking the .exe in an attempt to open the program direct to the editor?
    See
    Local Disk C
    Program Files

    Adobe Premiere Elements 12
    and in the Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Folder are the Adobe Premiere Elements 12.exe and Adobe Premiere Elements.exe. You want the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file.
    2. If you create a new User Account with Administrative Privileges and install and run Premiere Elements 12 from there, does the program open?
    3. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.

  • Problem with Adobe Premiere Elements 10 : error DW046

    Dear community members,
    I have bought Adobe Premiere Elements  10 and installed it from the DVDs on my MAC OSX10.5.8 on december 27, 2013
    When creating a new project , I get the following message :
    following a serious error, Premiere Elements 10 must stop
    Then I click OK and I get a new message :
    The Premiere 10 application has closed suddenly after having been rebooted
    Then I end up to the error report window. I have sent the error report  to Apple  ( I can send it to you if you want)
    I have also got the following error message :
    DW046 : following conflicting process were running, block : dynamiclinkmanager
    Notice : it seems this problem is occuring since I underwent a power failure while working on a project. When I want to open an existing project I get the following message :
    it seems that Premiere Elements has closed in an unexpected way during the last session. Do you want to open the previous project?
    When I say YES, I save it and it comes back to the welcome menu and I cannot see this project.
    I have tried to deinstall and reinstall Premiere 10 : this is impossible since I am required to deactivate dynamiclinkmanager that I cannot find.
    Notice that Adobe AIR is unable to find a solution whilst it recognizes there is a problem.
    Thanks you for your help

    AT Romano,
    The various links you have provided were very helpful. I could kill the dynamiclinkmanager.
    It seems that it is now working.

    Do you go to the last AutoSave to open that or do you go to the save location of the project file (project.prel) to open that file?

  • Having several problems with Adobe Premiere Elements 13.  Right now my worst is that when I add text to a clip, it goes out of "auto color" while the text is up.  Help?

    I'm having a number of problems with Elements 13.  One is that, while in "play" mode, the sound will just stop happening.  I have to click "pause" then "go" again and the sound comes back.  It also stops playing on it's own, I have to hit "play" repeatedly.  Just got the software, have been using it extensively for a week or two, and this just started happening.dor
    Now today, when I add text to a clip, it drops out of "auto color" while the text is visible in the clip, then back into auto color when the text is gone.  Any suggestiosn?

    If we are looking at the same thing, you have called attention to one strange Premiere Elements 13 AutoColor/Titler interaction. This can be reproduced in the Expert or
    the Quick workspace. I will demo this in the Quick workspace since that is where you have been working.
    1. Import a still into the Quick workspace/Filmstrip.
    2. With the still selected, go to Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Color Panel expanded and just click on the Auto Color Tab. Close the Adjust Tab route.
    3. Go to Text Menu/New Text/Default Text to open the project's Titler. When you do that you see the following and not the still over which the text title is to go.
    And when you close the Titler, you then see the "Add Text" text title in the still.
    The only solution that I can think of at this time is to create the text title and then apply the Auto Color to the still.
    It is interesting that this only happens with the Auto Color in the Color Panel selected. If you do not click on
    Color Panel and use the More options for Color adjustments, this behavior does not take place.
    Deletion of Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file does not correct this situation.
    As for
    I'm having a number of problems with Elements 13.  One is that, while in "play" mode, the sound will just stop happening.  I have to click "pause" then "go" again and the sound comes back.  It also stops playing on it's own, I have to hit "play" repeatedly.  Just got the software, have been using it extensively for a week or two, and this just started happening.dor
    I think that here we need to explore project settings (project presets), properties of source media, and Timeline rendered and unrendered content prior to export.
    Please review the above
    a. verify if the Auto Color Text Title glitch that I saw is what you described in your situation
    b. give the details of your project so that we can explore cause and effect for Timeline content playback irregularities as seen in the Edit area monitor.
    Thanks.
