Adobe Premiere Elements 12 will launch and then vanish

Okay so just bought Adobe Premiere Elements 12. Loaded it up and went to run it. First time I ran it I get the Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Launch pad, you know where you select the Organizer or the video editor. I select video editor, it gives me a sub menu asking if I'm opening an existing Project or a new project. I select new project. the Video editor opens and I get a pop up windows stating "Please Log-in with an Admin account to access Adobe premiere Elements." I hit 'ok' and the video editor promptly vanishes leaving me at the launch pad which I close. I go to the short cut, right click on it and select "run as administrator." and I re-launch the program. Back to launch pad, select video editor, select new project. The video editor loads and appears to be working for about 3 seconds and then it vanishes. No error window, no crash report nothing. Just 'pop' it's gone.
Any idea what I can do about this? I'd really like to use the software I just bought.
Compute specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
-updated system drives yesterday
Prossessor: AMD Phenom 2 X6
8Gb ram
NVidia GeForce GTX 460 4GB card
-Drivers updated yesterday
Primary drive is a solid state 128gb
2 secondary SATA drives at 1TB each
Premiere Elements is loaded on the 1st of the 2 secondary drives.

Please confirm...
a. Are you running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges as well as the Run As Administrator from the right click of the program's desktop icon?
- I am running it from an admin level account.
b. Did you install the program to the default drive C location...you mention "Premiere Elements is loaded on the 1st of the 2 secondary drives", but is it the drive designated C?
- No. all I have on my primary drive (C:\) is windows, drivers and scratch disk. All my programs outside of windows are loaded on the drive designated J:\
c. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements?
- I did not before, but I just updated it before responding here. No effect.
d. Does your computer use just that NVIDIA video card/graphics care? Is there a second card displayed in Device Manager/Display Adapters?
- the NVIDA GeForce GTX 460 is my only video adapter.
e. Does the problem exist with and without antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
- Yes. I shut off Kaspersky and tried running the program via the launch pad. no change.
You say that the crashes occur when you select Video and new project. What happens if you select Organizer instead? Still crash?
- If I go into Organizer the system seems to run fine. I loaded Organizer about 20 minutes ago and it's still up and running just fine. But in that same time span I've tried to launch premier elements several times. It still crashes after a few seconds.
New data though. Can't tell if it's from Premier, or something else. a couple minutes after the latest attempt to run Premiere Elements I found a new window with the header "CAHeadless Debug Event". The Window reads:
CAHeadless has encounter an error.
[..\..\Src\Sequence\Sequence.cpp-2233]
and then I have a button that reads "Continue".

    In Premiere Elements 7, there are various effects for lightening a dark video. After applying one of these lighting effects, have you been editing these applied effects in Edit Effects/Properties Palette after you apply them?

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 10 - missing and relinking files

    I have adobe premiere elements 10 and I am hoping someone can please help me with an issue I am having with unlinked files.
    The problem:  somehow the files in adobe premiere elements organizer have lost the link w/ the originals.  Whether I manually search or allow premiere elements to search, I am unable to relink the files.  I thought I had the original file structure from the camera (Canon Vixia; file structure AVCHD - BDMV - STREAM - then there are the files).  However all that is in the original file structure are the .xmp files (not the .MTS files like there normally are)  I will be honest and say that the computer files did get rather disorganized w/ multiple copies of things (I was having issues w/ converting files w/ the mac, and I used a duplicate finder to find duplicates about a year ago and deleted what I thought were multiple copies of things).  Then left the project alone, and now trying to reorganize the videos and make a DVD.
    The goal:  relink the files
    The importance:  Everything links up except for about 4-5 months worth of videos.  Which happen to be the videos of my 2nd child's birth (her first moments in the hospital, first bath, first Christmas, first everything!)  So this is extremely important to me that I find the files and relink them. 
    What I've done:  Manually searched the mac, the backup drive and the cloud backup.  No luck.  I also had adobe premiere elements search - no luck.  I have used the mac search function looking for key words and later the file name (which shows up in Adobe premiere elements organizer - but it has the little yellow question mark prompting me to relink the files - then I can't find the original to link it to).
    Fingers are crossed:  that someone can tell me there is something I can do with these .xmp files to relink them?  Anything that can be done at all?  The premiere elements organizer even shows a picture of what the video is - not just a blank gray screen - where is it pulling these images from if they don't exist on the computer somehow?
    I've learned my lesson on keeping original files separate, but please help me save and preserve my daughter's precious first memories!
    Thanks so much.

    Thank you so much for your reply.
    -When I right click the thumbnail in Elements Organizer & go to "show properties", I see a picture of a folder and the file structure where it should be found (Macintosh HD/Users/ourfirstlastname/Videos/09 30/ 12/ ).  When I follow that file structure on our macintosh HD, there is no "videos" folder in the hard drive.  As a side note, the file name in Elements is 00029.MTS so it is trying to find the MTS file.
    -Yes, I have Premiere elements 10, working on a mac and I work with Elements Organizer 10 as well
    -Yes, the problem is that I can't find on the computer hard drive the originals for those 4-5 months of videos.  All that is there is the XMP files (which dates match what I'm looking for).  There aren't any .mts files that match the dates anywhere to be found.  It is unfortunately very possible I over-did it with cleaning but I really am holding out hope that I'm just looking in the wrong spot.  I am pretty proficient on a PC but unfortunately rather new to the mac and was holding out hope that they are hidden somewhere and it's just user error that I can't find them.
    -I don't actually have a project that is missing files - it's just missing in the elements organizer.  I had not yet started the 2012 project yet.  I was attempting to start the project this evening when I discovered that the files I had put in organizer months ago were not linking correctly.  When I click on files that are present (basically some files after November 2012) and follow the link, I am able to find them (.MTS files and some .MOV files) in the hard drive. 
    -I very well could have renamed source media files and folders and likely moved them around.  I feel like they would have to be somewhere for there to be an image on the Premiere elements organizer (image w/ little yellow question mark on it) - unless that image is part of the .xmp file?
    -I do not have the original footage on the camera's memory.  We only use the internal memory of the camera & transfer to computer & back up - keeping original file structure so I figured that was enough :-(  Unfortunately that footage from 2012 is long gone off the camera.
    Thanks again for your help.  If it was any other footage I'd chalk it up to a lesson learned, but those first moments of my daughter's life are super important so I hope I can figure this out!

  • Why isn't Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Launching???

    I've had Adobe Premiere Elements 12 ever since I got my windows 8 laptop. I upgraded to 8.1 a while ago and still APE12 worked fine. But lately, about 2-3 weeks ago, Adobe stopped working. I will double click the launcher and it simply WILL NOT LAUNCH.
    My computer apparently has all the requirements to run it, considering i ran it for years before this happened. how do I fix this ?

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 12 downloaded and bought on windows computer, transferable to a mac?

    I'm about to buy Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on my windows computer.
    Can I transfer the licens for this, and other Adobe products, to a new mac computer? Or are the licenses valid on all platforms?
    What do I have to do to prepare before? I've read/heard about License Inactivation on the windows installed applications, before installing on the new computer - is that all?
    //Johan

    When you purchase Elements programs they are valid for either platform though you cannot install the PC version on a Mac, and vice versa.  But you do get access to both versions for the same license. Most applications sold by Adobe are not provided for both platforms with the same license however.
    You are allowed to have activated installations on two machines.  You can install on as many as you like but cannot activate more than two of the installations.  You can deactivate if you need to to activate somewhere else.

  • 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?

  • Adobe premiere element 7.0 and .MOD files

    My camera a JVC harddisk camcorder Everio 2 mega pixel GZ-M667E can produce widescreen moviefiles with the extension .MOD  When I upload these files in Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 they not apear as widescreen movie. After editing the movie and saving the movie stays in small screen. I tried most settings, but I keep the same problem. Who knows a solution?

    This is a problem with Everio files.
    Once you import them into a project, you need to right-click on them, select Interpret Footage and manually set them to display as widescreen.

  • Can I buy and download adobe premiere pro at home and then use that DMG to install it in my office?

    Have just purchased a beast of a Mac Pro. Will be using this for editing a feature film. Problem is I need to buy and download Adobe Premiere Pro.  My internet speed in the office is abysmal and it would take forever to download. Thats why I was thinking of downloading the software at home, and then using that DMG file to install on the Mac Pro in office. Is this possible? Will appreciate any help at all.
    Thanks!

    You can download the Enterprise Deployment packages and install them, but you still need to install the CC app in the first place.

  • Adobe Premiere begins to open and then immediately closes.

    I installed Adobe Premiere CS6 through Creative Cloud. Everytime I attempt to open the program, it begins to loads and as soon as the program opens it closes. I have a brand new HP Pavillion dv7 w/ a Quad core processor, 8 GB of Ram, & an AMD Radeon 6790 graphics card w/ 2GB DDR5. I have already followeed the troubleshooting directions of turning of the switchable graphics card and setting adobe premiere to the High Performance Graphics Card. What in the world is going on?

    Sometimes a plug-in can cause this behavior.  Each crash puts the offending plug-in on a black list, so they don't get loaded next time.  It may take a few tries to get past all the problem plug-ins, so give that a go.

  • Another "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."

    When I try an open the original project or a copy of it I get this message.
    "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
    I have tried to create a new project and get the same message.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program a few times.
    The last time I worked on the project I had no issues.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    a. Open Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 - Yes, I get the welcome screen (v9.0).  I can choose open project, and choose my project.  The program will open and show that it is loading the project with the scroll line will show all the way to 100% and will stay there.  Sometimes I get the "Sorry" message and sometimes the loading project window just goes away and nothing is loaded and the program stays on the clock until I close it.
    b. You can find the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and deletion of it makes no difference to your issue. - Made no difference
    c. Have you deleted the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists? If not, please do so. - Done, made no difference
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? - Running McAfee Total Access Protection.  Turned off firewall and anti virus. It works.  As a test I left the anti virus off and tried loading project with and with out the firewall turned on.  The project loaded each time.  I then tested the firewall on, with and with out antivirus.  Antivirus off - project loads each time.  Antivirus on - doesn't load and program stays on clock.
    I will continue to experiment with it and see what happens.  The last time I used it I was running a different McAfee product than no.  So it seems to work with the Firewall on and the Antivirus off.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 12 don't start and crashes

    Adobe Premiere Elements 12 don't work as it should in Windows 8.
    I run the Pc as an Admin Account but still adobe just gives me this message and then 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.
    I have also installed the program on another Pc I dont use but has Win7 and thier it works just fine.
    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?
    Really bad that you cant write or call adobe "support"

    daniel2014
    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.

    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
    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.
