Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 when saving a new project I get a serious error occured and shutsdown

Solution keyword kb406747 did not fix the problem.

fdlt
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 7 running on? What are its computer resources - installed and available RAM, free hard drive space, processor, etc?
What size project is this new project that you want to save? When you talk about "save", I am assuming that you mean saving the project prel file for further edits later. Is that correct? Or, are you talking about "save" in the sense of exporting your Timeline content to a file saved to the computer hard drive or to burn to disc?
Is this type of problem
a. It worked before but not now
or
b. It never worked before?
What is on that Timeline - video (format and duration), still (pixel dimensions and how many), and other?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

Just installed Adobe Premiere Elements 10 - Crashes upon opening a new Project

I've just installed Adobe Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10 on one of our marketing user's PC, and while Photoshop works like a charm, Premiere Elements 10 crashes every time you try to create a new project. I have done a total uninstall and reinstall, but get the same results. Here is the crash report generated by Windows (7 Pro x64)

Thank you for trying to help, Bill.
I had read about the fingerprint problem in the forums and deactivated that before my first post.
I am reasonably proficient with CS6 web/design, but I don't have a lot of tech knowledge.
While working today, I had trouble with Acrobat X and had to uninstall/reinstall. I have done more restarts in the last 36 hours!
I uninstalled/reinstalled PrE ... in case something that I had done had helped! Organizer opens but not PrE.
I will put the EventViewer stuff at the end of the post. I didn't know there was an EventViewer until today!
It says something about PCI bus. I went to control panel, etc., devices and there were two instances of PCI bus. I asked Windows to update the driver for both and got a message that it had the most up to date driver. Also indicated they were working properly. When I sent the link at the bottom of the EventViewer info to Windows, I got a screen saying it was an unknown error.
I bought PrE on Saturday ... to replace NERO. I thought it would be more consistent with the other programs I use, but maybe I should cut my losses and go back to NERO??? What do you think?
I really do appreciate the help.

Premiere elements 10 crashes when saving as DVD or DVD folder, etc.

Hi [me again!]
While awaiting resolution for PRE7 and PE7 'registered' licence 'not accepted' problems, my other Premiere elements 10 crashes when saving a Project as DVD 4.7Gb folder or direct to DVD or 'any other DVD way'.

In the meantime I am evaluating the 'cheaper' and without installing / working / DVD problems and possibly send Adobe discs back for full refund.
My Laptop is fast enough and well kept - not other 'larger' programmes have any problems running or installing [Stenberg Cubase Pro, Flight Simulator X and so on] only Adobe programmes!
I am really getting tired now.
Regards
Mobon

Hello
All problems are carefully separated - not all together, since I am a tidy person by default.
It is very simple and not confusing.
I actually have one main issue with PE7 and PPE7 [which I hope they will care of] and a series of small teething problems as many in these forums have on Premiere 10 since installation because Adobe programmes have 'basic' problems even loading / reading/ converting its own created files.
I looked up for Premiere Elements problems on-line [on external forums] and I can see so many problems and people opting for alternative programmes or getting 2 or 3 different programmes to do the job faster and better - that confirms my thoughts.
I am not here to stir things up [if by any chance you are thinking that], but I am merely trying to use a PAID and SUPPOSED to be GREAT program and it is clearly not my friend.
But if I get pushed up around and treated like a non-in-the-computer-field-person, then I might 'need to' stir things up with 'proves'!
I have been working with computers Hardware and Software since 1975 with the Sir Sinclair Spectrum .
So, I do know one thing or two by working 'manually' and without the 'easy' mouse clicking [!] and my main job these days is to actually fix People's messed up computers, recover data, erase data, etc. and often I find either Apple's or Adobe's programmes not working properly [being the main problem on slower computers] and users tried to fix them and messed things up!
Mainly is Apple programmes [ iTunes is one!] on Windows environment - just pure mess.
In fact I do not keep ANY Apple Programs on ANY my computers any-more and by adding the blooming QuickTime - it actually adds 3 'mostly not needed' applications that must be run in the background only slowing down 'most standard' computers and 'mostly' for no apparent reason but needed by Premiere Elements 10.
Adobe Acrobat Reader too is a kind of an offender in that sense, which I do not use any-more in favour of an alternative and very light program that does not invade your computer.
I could be talking about the above for days ...
The fact I do not know Premiere 10 very well and I am having some teething problems with 'Adobe Premiere Elements 10' does not make me a lower being or anything to the like or even put me aside the forums for being realistic and a human being most of all.
I simply am an Intermediate / Advanced / Professional Computer User / Repairer [depending on which subject] trying to fix this non-working-properly Adobe's program and get on with his life.
You as an employee perfectly know what I am talking about, the Adobe numerous problems with Elements and pro and the clever Marketing and money making tool Adobe has created around it and I do understand you must keep Adobe's side - of course and that is not a problem at all.
BACK TO THE ONLY PROBLEM THIS THREAD IS OPEN FOR:
Having said that, in the meantime I seem to have solved it myself [as I do most of the time], at least for now.
I am sure many other problems will arise.
My Solution that worked:
I simply clicked on the time-line [bottom] and then clicked on top menu TIME-LINE [if I am not wrong, it was late night and I might be wrong - do not crucify me please!] and MERGE CLIP and then I let the program do the job I purchased for.
Days ago using the Trial Version [before I purchased Premiere 10] I already read that Premiere does not like either large gaps [I did not have] or even simple clip cuts not merged and it did have 'loads' of problems, but most of them were solved by 'users' mostly.
Anyway, that seems to have done the trick, even thou it did take around 4/5 ours to do 3Gb ! Why?
My computer is fast.
But I have not checked or burned the files yet - so, I do not know100% - just yet, I will check later on today.
I believe Adobe must prepare a Service Pack with 'Loads' of fixing, there is no place to hide and that may convince users to even 'spend' and buy the PRO version - the ball is in your court now.
I cannot believe Premiere is having so many small teething problems and I am only doing a BASIC test and I can see the vast majority of users of Elements Programs going literally insane and only us, the more Techy ones coping.
Regards
M
PS the fact you see an avalanche of problems with my installation is actually normal.
That is because I am a 'fast' and organised Computer Technician which gets on with things and I usually do this with all new programmes to get rid of the possible initial several small hiccups, that other Companies usually fix with Patches - not Adobe, it seems - at least with Premiere elements.
In the last few years are mainly with Adobe Programmes. It is the only way to get the 'basic' program problems fixed straight away, so I do know the next time I run it actually works!
ADDITION:
IT WORKS!

Premiere Elements 12 will not start a new project

I loaded Premiere Elements 12 on my...
64bit HP Laptop Dv7
Intel core i7
Windows 7
Radeon Graphics (HD 6770m)
updated Quicktime
updated display drivers as requested when first installed.
reloaded PE 12
Started PE12 but when i click Video Editor and then select New Project the button shows the purple and black lines for about a minute and then stops and nothing happens
I have almost given up. I have been trying to load this program on my pc for 5 days. Nothing but problems. I have asked pc gurus at work and no one has a clue what could be wrong.
Why will Adobe Premiere Elements 12 not start on my laptop?
by the way there is no BadDrivers.txt file to delete that i can find...
Does anyone have a clue as to why the application would not start?

Rotary
It is late where I am so I will give you some things to work on.
Premiere Elements does not fare well with 2 video cards/graphics cards. Have you disabled the Intel and observed the consequences?
Determine if the problem is there with and without the antivirus disabled.
BadDrivers.txt file
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
in the Premiere Elements Folder will be one file and some folders. You do not want the folders or what is in them. You want that file which is the BadDrivers.txt file. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path shown. Be aware that after you open the program again after the file deletion, the program will generate a new BadDrivers.txt file but by that time the problem should be gone (hopefully).
I would probably be going after the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file -
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists.
Better yet....check out the information in the following blog posts

Transitioned from an older G5 Pro to a new iMac. My Final Cut files are on a 2T WD external HD. When I try to boot I get a "General Error 41" and files do not load. Took the WD to the Apple Store and tried it on one of their iMacs...it works OK. Ideas?

Transitioning from an older G5 Pro to a new iMac. My Final Cut Express files are on a 2T WD external HD. When I try to load a project to the iMac I get a "General Error 41" and the files do not load. Took the WD the Apple Store and tried it on one of their iMacs...it works fine. The problem seems to be in my new iMac, other WD's with different files load OK. Any ideas?

Hi
Can it be so that You try to boot a G5 (Power) Mac from one external hard disk - then try to boot an INTEL Mac from same external Mac.
WILL NOT WORK - It's not just the Mac OS Extended formation that plays a part here - they have to be formatted differently to be bootable on each system.
I don't think there is any solution to this AT ALL.
When You format a hard disk.
• Select Partitions
• Under the graphic representation to the left there is an Alternative button
Here You select if it's supposed to be Bootable on a Power CPU or INTEL-CPU
No other possibilities.

Adobe Premiere Elements 11, Crashes When Rendering

When I try and render a video I get the below error and the program closes. The video I'm rendering is roughly 15 min long. Any help would be great!
I'm using windows 7, and I'm using the latest version of premiere elements 11, and this is on a desktop computer.

azurite2
I think it is time to take a hard look at the recording settings that you are using for the Dxtory.
Apparently CurtisC is not have the same problems as you with Dxtory video. Please see
http://forums.adobe.com/message/6318308#6318308
We will deal with the atypical frame size later. Right now setting Dxtory for video compression compatible with Premiere Elements is the task at hand.
a. consider changing the video codec choice to Microsoft Video 1
b. consider converting your screen capture to H.264.mp4 with a free program such as HandBrake
Is the Dxtory software installed on the same computer as Premiere Elements 12? And/or does it come with a utilities program?
Let us pause here and review the above.
Thanks.

Upgrading from Adobe Premiere Elements 10 to 13 will my working projects be deleted?

I am considering upgrading from Adobe Elements 10 to 13. Will I delete all my movies and projects I am working on now in Premiere 10? Will it save everything I have already finished? How does this work with an UPGRADE? Thank you.

joni sea
What computer operating system is involved? For now, I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. Premiere Elements 13 does not support Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Mac OSX 10.7.
On your current computer, Premiere Elements 10 project files should still be saved to their hard drive save location. If you move any of the source media that went into those project after the save close, then you are going to have media disconnect issues. If applicable, consider File Menu/Project Archiver/Archive Project or Copy Project options.
https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/archiving-projects.html
Premiere Elements 10 and 13 are standalone products. When you go to 13, you do not convert 10 components into 13. "Upgrade" is an Adobe term
related to pricing depending on what earlier version of the program you have.
There is no guarantee that a project created in an earlier version will open in a latest version of the program. Probably will, but no guarantee.
And, once you edit a project created in an earlier version in a later version, you cannot go back to the earlier version to edit the project just edited
in the later version. So, best make a copy of the 10 project file, and use the copy to open in the later version.
Let us start here. Any questions or need clarification on the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Premiere Elements 12 won't open a new project

I recently installed premiere elements 12. It is the first time install of any version of this software. When I open the program and click on Video Editor, then New Project ...a black and purple ribbon scrolls for about 2 minutes, then nothing. I have a Dell Inspiron One2305 running Windows 7 - 64 bit, AMD 2.8 Ghz processor. I have 4 gb of RAM and 916 gb of hard disk space. Reading through suggestions, I have tried the following without success:
1. I updated the driver for the AMD 4200 Video Driver.
2. I loaded the software as the administrator, but I unstalled, then created a new administrator account, and reinstalled under the new administrator account.
I'm not a techie by any means, but I can follow directions pretty well. Any help is appreciated.

This is my processor: AMD Athlon II X2 240e
I also loaded the latest version of Quicktime today (forgot to put that in my "what I already tried")
I just ran the Windows Update and one failed with this error: Code 800B0100 Windows Update Encountered an Unknown Error. When I click Get Help with This Error, nothing runs.
Running Disk Clean up and Defrag now.

Purchased new mac book pro with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere elements 13 - no CD drive on new Mac - how to install?

Can I download the software somehow since my MacBook Pro does not have a CD drive?

Says Warning
The following disk images couldn't be opened

When I create a new project I get a metadata error

Could not read metadata for 'C:\Users\Darrin Kay\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Catalyst CS5.5\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.root\.indexes\properties.i ndex'.
Unexpected version: 0.
I just downloaded and install the CS 5.5 Web Premium..... ANy ideas????
Thanks,
Darrin

Hey man, I got the same problem, I noticed som message saying "flushing ..." So I looked up for the file mantioned in the directory displayed in the error message... You may need to make visible your hidden folders.
When you get to the folder, you'll have three files, just delete properties.index (perhaps you may like to create a backup) and start once again Catalyst.
That worked for me... Hope it does the same for you.

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?... :/
