I have now downloaded all the pictures in my camera directly into PSE Organiser. The pictures are all in folders listed by date the pictures were taken. Are they now safely housed in the PSE program?
PSE does not contain your photos. The photos are on your hard disk(s) somewhere, wherever they were put when they were moved from the camera to the hard disk (might be the default location chosen by PSE).
Can I delete the old Canon programs, which are still sitting on my Mac?
Yes
And if I want to back up on an external hard-drive, how do I do that? Just drag the whole lot across?
Your interest in making backups is to be commended.
There are many ways to make backups, including the way you just suggested. You can also create a backup using PSE (which I recommend) since it includes the photos and the very important catalog file. In PSE, File->Backup Catalog, and set the destination of the backup to your external HD. Remember to do this regularly.
Sometimes when I've used 'Smart Fix" or other tools in the Photo Fix toolbox, I'm not happy with the result. But how can I 'undo' a fix and revert to how it was before?
PSE should create a version set when you do any editing, including the Smart Fix. Thus, you just need to expand the version set (right-click on the photo) to see both the original and the Smart Fix. Then you can delete the Smart Fix version.
-- I want to create an album "Europe 2012", and within it categories for UK, France, Italy etc. But although I hit 'create album category' when Europe 2012 is highlighted, the category just attaches to the last listed album - something completely unrelated. How do I ensure categories are within the correct albums?
I'm going to strongly recommend you don't do this via albums (unless your intent is to share the contents of the albums online somehow, in which case use Albums). I recommend you use tags instead of albums for this purpose. You can create a tag called Europe under Places, and another tag under Europe called France. I would also recommend you not bother including year or other calendar information in the tag (or album) names. You want "Europe" as your tag, not "Europe 2012". Why? Because you can always segregate by year (or other calendar time period) using the PSE Timeline; there's no need to do extra work to segregate the tags by year (or other calendar time period).

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.

Gamer
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.

Adobe Premiere Elements Help

I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 with Windows 7. It's worked before, but now every time I try to work on my project a window pops up that says "Adobe Premiere Elements has stopped working" and the programs closes. Occasionally, a different window pops up that says "Adobe Premiere Elements is low on system memory. Please save your project and proceed with caution." Help!

ajn333
I think that we need to look at those low memory messages. And, we need more details.
1. Given you have Premiere Elements 4 on Windows 7? Is that 32 bit or 64 bit. Premiere Elements 4 will be a 32 bit application either way with max. supported installed RAM = 4 GB of which 3 GB of RAM or less are available. So, first, how much RAM do you have installed and how much of that is available?
2. What is your project preset and what are the properties of your source media? Photos, pixel dimensions and how many photos; video, properties for video and audio....total duration of the Timeline. Those video and audio compressions as well as the file extension are important. Are you working with any DV AVI Type 1 video on that Timeline?
3. How long ago did it work before? And for how long were you working with Premiere Elements 4 without issues?
4. Have you optimized your computer? Besides the RAM situation, how much free hard drive space do you have? Do you do routine computer maintenance to get rid of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio, and conformed video?
5. Since the time when things were working until now, any additional programs, codecs, plug-ins, and the like?
6. What specifically are you doing in the project when you get these low memory messages and/or program and project shut downs?
Are you just opening the project, in the middle of some heavy editing, or other?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
The answers will be in the details.
Thanks.

Add On...Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.

Adobe Premiere Elements could not start. Please uninstall and reinstall.

Worked with support quite a bit over the past few months. I am getting the subject named error after selecting the Country after my silent install.
I was provided application.overide XMLS and using the setup.exe to install the application. It installs successfully, but does not launch.
This is on Windows XP. Not sure what else to do. We have been attempting to get this to install silently since September.
Setup.exe /S /v/qn. - is what i am running. If you reply please don't tell me to use OEM.exe, we have confirmed with Adobe Support that this does not work in my situation.

newbie9999
The answers are in the details and they are lacking in the information needed to solve this issue.
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements?
Are you running the program as Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
And, as John T. Smith has asked, is your video card driver up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card?
All basic Q&A background essentials.
Uninstall, reinstall is often suggested as part of the no start issue. You could have a bad install. Factors need to be ruled in and out. No guarantees. I would suggest the following scheme for this uninstall, reinstall...I am assuming that you have never gotten into the Premiere Elements workspace with the current (first?) install.
1. Control Panel, usual uninstall
2. Run the ccleaner (regular and registry)
3. Reinstall (with antivirus and firewalls disabled in Action Center).
What do your computer resources look like? I saw no description of them?
Let us start with the above and then plan the troubleshooting strategy based on your answers.
Thank you.

Adobe Premiere Elements 9 AIDE-HELP (menus)

I have the IMac 2013 i5.
When I'm working on Adobe Premiere ELements 9, the program is opening a message which is telling me that there's an error. Then the program closes. It ALWAYS happens when I'm trying to put a menu in my video. It is related to this action. I don't know what to do... I tried to uninstall the program but nothing changed unfortunatelly... I don't know if the problem's related to Adobe or to the IMac...
I'm also not able to install the latest Adobe Flash Player (12) on my IMac.
I really need some help please! Thank you!
J'ai un IMac 2013 i5.
Lorsque je travaille sur Adobe Premiere Elements 9, le logiciel m'envoie un message me disant que suite à une erreur grave, le programme doit se fermer. Ensuite, le logiciel se ferme et un rapport indéchiffrable portant sur le problème s'ouvre. Ceci arrive toujours dès que je veux ajouter un menu à mon montage. Lorsque j'ai sélectionné mon menu, je clique sur «Appliquer» et c'est exactement à ce moment que l'erreur apparait... Toujours à ce moment précis! J'ai tenté de désinstaller le logiciel pour le réinstaller par la suite... même probème malheureusement... Sur mon ancien portable, les menus pouvaient être appliqués sans problème mais il plantait toujours lors de la gravure. Mais depuis qu'il est sur mon nouvel ordi, les menus de vidéos ne foncionnent plus. Par contre, la gravure fonctione a merveille et le mac ne plante pas!
Je ne suis aussi pas capable d'installer Adobe Flash Reader afin de regarder des vidéos Youtube! J'ai encore là tenté plusieurs manoeuvres, mais rien n'a fonctionné...
J'ai vraiment besoin d'aide! Merci!

About the 9.0.1 Update.
If you open a project to the workspace and go to Help Menu/Updates and click on Updates, do you see a 9.0.1 Update waiting for you to download and install it? You need to indicate in preference in that area if you want to be notified about updates in the menu bar. Otherwise, periodically you just check Help Menu/Updates to see what is there. You can also get the 9.0.1 Update online from Adobe and install it even with Premiere Elements 9 closed.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4930
About Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs
Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs is not a folder. It is a file.
As I wrote previously....
But, for the menu situation, I would still like know the results from deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs settings file with the following route
User
User Name
Libraries
Application Support
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in the 9.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete.
Can you find the above path and the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file in your Mac computer?
Do not delete anything unless it has the exact name Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs.
With Premiere Elements Windows, the user has to be set up with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that the path can be seen. I do not have Mac. So, I would ask "Does the Mac have a feature which you can enable so that you can see Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives?" If so, please enable it to determine if you can see the path to the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file.
About the Titler and Styles
I wanted you to go to Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Timeline workspace, click on Title Menu/New Title/Default Still to open the Titler. In the Titler, I wanted to know if you saw the thumbnails for the Text Styles or were they all gone
Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Titler showing Text Styles
If you see them there and can successfully apply each to the text you have created in the Titler, that will give us information to evaluate the significance of your mention of an empty Styles Folder. If you see the Styles thumbnails, but cannot successfully apply them, then I will work with you on the Titler procedures.
Please let me know if you are OK with the details and what supplemental clarification you need.
Thank you.

Correct video settings for a Nikon D300s to input into Adobe Premiere Elements 10?

I understand that it is critical when using Adobe Premiere Elements 10 that the video settings of your project match the settings of your camera. I want to upload video from my Nikon D300s DSLR which has the video setting options of 480P (640 x 480), 576P (720 x 576), 720P (1,280 x 720), and 1080i (1,920 x 1,080). I will primarly be making videos either to upload to You Tube, or save on a dvd. Can anyone tell me which would be th right settings for my camera and Premiere?

It depends on which resolution you're shooting your videos in.
It looks like that cam shoots in 1280x720 at 24p. There should be a DSLR project setting for that.
But if the camera shoots in all of the video modes you've listed, you can shoot it in any -- just make sure to select the DSLR project settings that match the video.

Adobe Premiere Elements 12 video preview choppy

Preview video in Adobe Premiere Elements 12 is choppy and I'm unable to edit with this program. I transfered the video from a DSLR to my hard drive and then added the video from the hard drive to Adobe Premiere Elements. I don't have the same problem editing with Windows Movie Maker. I'm using a Dell Studio 15 laptop with Intel 2-core processor, 4 GB RAM and 500 GB HD. I imported video from the laptop and an external 3 TB HD. I also tried adding clips directly from the camera - a Canon EOS 70D - and it's still choppy and impossible to edit.

>meet the requirements for Adobe Premiere Elements
There have been MANY discussions here, and in the Premiere Pro forum, about Adobe's requirements
The general concensus HERE is that the Adobe marketing people want more people to buy the program, so they list MINIMUM requirements, not EFFECTIVE EDITING requirements
In the PPro area, but This message has a really good picture showing requirements

Adobe premiere elements organizer appcrash msvcr90.dll windows 7

adobe premiere elements 11 organizer appcrash msvcr90.dll. Hoe dit oplossen ?

paulv
Elements Organizer 11 on Windows 7 (assumed 64 bit).
When did you post this question before today. If all you posted today is all you sent in this thread, then be advised that this is not Adobe. Rather user to user. The replies are not automatic and depend
on a reply from a user based on the use's personal schedule.
I am not sure if the following will target the "msvvcr90.dll" but consider the following for the "crash" aspects
1. Delete the Elements Organizer 11 settings file named psa.prf found
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Elements Organizer
13.0
Organizer
and in the Organizer Folder is the psa.prf file that you delete or disable by renaming it from psa.prf to psa.prfOLD.
2. If the Elements Organizer 11 will stay open long enough, create a new catalog.
See Elements Organizer 11 File Menu/Manage Catalog/Catalog Manager.
3. Some times certain formats can bring the Elements Organizer down. What kind of files have you been
importing into the Elements Organizer and are the crashes associated with certain source files?

Adobe Premiere Elements 11 in the 'minimize' state "tracks" when moved across screen...

I have finally found time to work on and to learn how to use my recently purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 11 (APE11) and Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, using Adobe’s respective ‘Classroom In A Book’ training aid I recently purchased. To my disappointment when I open Adobe Premiere Elements 11 in the 'minimize' state it “tracks” when I try to move it across the screen, (see images), making it impossible and unacceptable to use. It only happens with APE11 and not with Photoshop, Premiere Organizer, MS Office Suite Programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Etc.), or any other programs on my computer. Also, the “tracking” doesn’t happen to a video within the APE11 video working space. I have installed this instance of APE11 twice to no avail using the Adobe defaults. See the added images for the current configuration of my PC and the APE11 version I have. I noticed in APE11’s Properties that I don’t have Compatibility checked-off because I never have had a previous version (see image). I do the Microsoft & Windows 7 updates regularly. This PC was purchased and configured to work on photo and video editing & manipulation, along with my everyday use. [Purchased on 2/22/13 from a reputable company Computer Links, Burlington, NC 27215, 336-226-4738 Invoice# 148599, (Technician: Matt). I am not a computer science person, which is why I relied on Matt to configure my PC. As this appears to be an AEP11 issue I am relying on you to resolve the issue verse Matt. Your support with this is much appreciated.
I had one person kindly suggest "Could you try to update your graphic card drivers, if they are not current"? If I knew how to & where located on PC I would consider it, however I would think it would be current as it was new when PC was purchase 2/22/13 and if it was out-of-date why wouldn't the other programs on the PC also 'track', such as Adobe Photoshop Elements, MS Ofiice Suite programs, etc.? (PS: I thought I posted this in the Adobe Premiere Elements area 5/19/13, apparently I posted it in the "Downloading, Installing, Setting Up" discussions area instead, & didn't see a way to move it?? I started in APE11 Area.)

ATR and Reese,
It appears Matt solved my issue earlier today and I have been testing it without a failure.
Matt determined it was the Personailization "Themes" I was using. I had the Theme "Windows Classic" selected from the "Basic and High Contrast Themes..." group, and when he changed it to one of the "Aero Themes" the Adobe Premiere Elements "TRACKING" problem went away. He and I are not sure why it works by changing the theme, but it appears to. Using the Aero Theme continues toi allow me to use my own photos for "Desktop Background" and "Screen Saver".
The path to it is via the PC display by right clicking your mouse, select "Personalize", select one of the "Aero Themes" and go from there according to personal taste. See image below:
Note: Something for Adobe to consider going forward, if the above remains a solution. Matt says as I am using Windows 7 I have a selection between Themes, either "Windows Classic" from the "Basic and High Contrast Themes..." group or one of the "Aero Themes" (which resolved my Tracking problem), however Windows 8 did away with the "Aero Themes" and there isn't a choice then what? He isn't sure if there will be a tracking problem or not.
ATM any thoughts on why the above Themes setting would make a difference?
ATM thanks for all your help, along with Matt of Computer Links, Burlington, NC , 336-226-4738. I will update this posting as events occur, both good and bad.
Cheers and Regards,
Mike (Ghost1013)

Adobe Premiere Elements 9 Driver Update Problem

I have had Adobe Premiere Elements 9 for almost a year now, and I had just made a movie with my friends. When I go to launch Premiere Elements it says "Incompatible display driver, please update your display driver. I am on a Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop. (I know, it is not a great computer for video editing, but it is what I am stuck with.) I have tried to delete the BadDrivers.txt file and it is still no use. I have also reinstalled my drivers (there were no updates after 2008) I have been able to use Premiere Elements perfectly until today. I don't know what is going on, so somebody please help me.
Thanks,
Eric

That machine is pretty underpowered for PRE, as you acknowledged, so it could just be that your current project is too large or more complex than your previous successful projects. The maximum memory is only 2GB and that is barely enough to start PRE on top of Windows itself.
But, encouraged by the fact you have had successful projects, I'd first look at how much defragmented disk space you have. Really you should be looking for at least 40GB free and defragged. That your machine supports only a maximum 100GB drive strongly suggests to me that you just don't have enough available.
For general disk space cleaning take a look here: Re: Clean, Lean & Mean Editing Machine - One Workflow. Check out the rest of that discussion - lots of good advice on optimizing a PC.
For PRE specific cleaning I suggest you remove all cache files through Edit> Preferences> Media> Clean.
Also look to your past complete projects. Consider using the Project Archiver to archive off completed projects to an external hard drive, and then delete the Adobe working folders for those projects (much easier if you have managed each project through a project specific folder). You can also manually check for the working file folders by looking for their folder names:

Another crash problem with Adobe Premiere Elements 4

another crash question! burned a dvd of project, saw something i needed to change as i watched the dvd, tried to get back into project, but crashed time and time again. have tried any and all suggestions in the forum for other crash problems, but cannot fix. can anyone help? below is error message and my equipment. using Windows Vista. I want to go back to Windows XP, never had a problem. thanks to anyone who has an idea.
Problem event name:                   APPCRASH

I'm not sure what's up at this point, if doing a Save As and deleting your render files doesn't fix your glitch (and assuming you've got adequate, freshly defragmented room on your drives for the program to work).
You can also try working through Adobe's troubleshooting steps:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/514/cpsid_51427.html
Renaming the presets folder can help. (The program will automatically make a new one when you next launch it):

Could Twixtor be used with Adobe Premiere Elements 9?

Hello -
I want to get the 2k fps slow motion in my videos and I was wondering if the Twixtor plug-in would work with Elements 9? If it is, is there any installation or startup guide? Thanks!
Zan

I installed it into: Computer>OS(C:)>Program Files>Adobe>Adobe Premiere Elements 11>Plug-ins>en_US>editing modes and it works well. It is a bit finickey if you cut you clip before applying Twixtor. To get it to work well you have to export the clip as an mpeg and re-import it before applying Twixtor to it. This video is also very helpful as to how to use Twixtor in Premiere Pro, and it seems like the same interface in Elements. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAxaiK4GrEY&list=LLpA0dx4OaXYdUcZPoyqBimg
