Are Disc Menu Templates Restricted to Certain Versions of Premiere Elements

I ask this question after visiting the movipix site to look at what templates I might add to my PrE 9 program. This got me to wondering if templates are restricted to certain versions of PrE. After reading various posts in this forum I thought I was getting the message that any templates from Premiere Elements 4 to Premiere Elements 10 were interchangeable. It was a matter of inserting the subfolder from one program into the category folder of another program?
If I were to order a template from the movipix website would I have to check to make sure which versions it would work in? I read where version 9 had some problems with some templates that would not allow menu background video or pictures to show up on the burned dvd even though it was in preview before burning. AT Romano had played with some of the templates but I never could find out if the problem was resolved by Adobe.
Thanks

ATR,
Thank you for your response. A wealth of information. Quite a bit of it I had already read. You've gone to a lot of work. Of most interest to me were a couple of posts. One in this forum "Using Disc Menus from Premiere Elements 4 in Premiere Elements 12". (Sorry I didn't copy the message #). The other detailed post was in Elements Village Premiere Elements forum. http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73006&highlight=templates+folder
These posts are explaining pretty much how to install additonal templates, either between versions, or downloaded templates? Very good. One question on the Elements Village post though. You mentioned deselecting "Read Only" in the properties dialog box of the folder to be transferred. Is this only necessary if transferring from one computer to another? or should this be done when transferring from one PrE version to another within the same computer?
I think you have answered my question on using menu templates across the board from PrE version 4 thru 12. Just a matter of getting them in the correct folders as you have pointed out in your various posts. And it appears that only PrE 9 had the issues that didn't get fixed by Adobe as far as menu background & audio not getting burned to disc?
To give more details on the Menu and Scene Selection buttons. I should have said PLAY ALL instead of Menu. I did not modify them. I merely dragged the Play All button to the bottom left and the Scene button to the bottom right of the Main Menu page. The arrows pointing to them went along with the text. But on the burned DVD they seem to be reversed when the arrow is highlighting the choice to be made. Play All selects Scenes and vice versa. I probably won't be using this template again anyway but was interesting.
Not sure where to post this next question. Is there a way to start a post? where members can list a few of their favorite Disc Menu Templates that they use all the time? Kind of a vague question but I'm guessing out of all of the available templates in each of the versions of PrE only a few get used over and over. As the list would grow people could vote (?) on various ones and some kind of master list might be produced for future use or download. For example: PrE version (or a downloaded version like from Movipix ) used, templates used, categories (ie:general,entertainment, etc.) It seems as though a new version introduced adds some templates and takes some away. Then people are left looking or trying to figure out how to replace them (such as transferring them as we have been discussing)
Thank you for your time

How can I transfer some or all Disc Menu templates from PrE7 to PrE9

I have seen various versions of peopIe swapping templates from one program to another, but didn't see my scenario covered. I have both Premiere Elements 7 and Premiere Elements 9 and I like the Disc Menu templates better from PrE7 better than PrE9. I am not needing to copy any text or Instant Movie stuff at this point in time. Is there a simple way to copy/paste some or all of the Disc Menu Templates from the 7 folder to the 9 folder?

Bill and Neale,
Had to try these theories we were talking about. Things went wonky when I created the PrE7 complete folder and inserted in PrE9. The PrE7 folder showed up in the disc menu dropdown list, but when I clicked on it I only got blank menu boxes. So back into windows explorer and deleted the folder I created (2.44 GB worth of menus) and just copied one folder over. From Entertainment, the Drive In Disc menu. That one shows up, seemingly correctly, in PrE9 Entertainment folder. I am enclosing a pic of folders side by side, and you can see how many more menus are in PrE7, just in Entertainment.
You can see the Drive In menu in both folders, in both programs. I haven't outputted anything with the menu yet. Hopefully it works. So, maybe just moving whatever menus a person likes from one program to another, instead of the complete 2.44 GB will work. But one more question comes up. I notice some of the folders have an (A) in front, or an (AV) or (V). I clicked into some of the other folders ie: General, Happy Birthday,Holidays and Events, and some folders they aren't used at all, and other folders are various combinations of one or all. Anybody know what they mean?
Also of note. The menu tree in PrE7 goes directly from DVD Templates to the menu folders. The menu tree in PrE9 has the menu folders in a common folder. Anybody see the reasoning of this?
Thanks again

How to install free disc menu templates?

I'm a beginner in using my new iMac and Premiere Elements 10, so I have to ask - How to install the free disc menu templates from Muvipix? Are there any more disc menu templates in Preimiere Elements then the few ones I have there?
gardie10

This would probably be a better question for the folks at Muvipix.
In fact, here's the answer.
http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=8374
(Make sure you unzip the downloaded files before you store them in folder in the location listed!
Meantime, make sure you've installed all of the content discs for Premiere Elements. You should have over 70 DVD and BluRay disc templates.

Moved Premiere Elements 10 project Error: "Project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements"

After moving an entire client folder from an external hard drive to an internal one, the client's video, created in adobe premiere elements 10, will no longer open in adobe premiere elements 10. It appears to be loading the project, and instead of completing, the following error message is displayed: "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements."
The same thing occurs when attempting to open the archive files.

Archiving Aspects of this.....
First let clear the matter of the "archiving" as a life saver.... We do not appear to be on the same wave length.
a. I am talking about File Menu/Project Archiver with its Archive project and Copy project options. This feature is a safety net to save you when you
inadvertently disconnect source media from the project file. With the Archive option (Trimmed Folder result), you get saved to the computer hard drive (safe keeping) a copy of the project file plus copies of the media that were taken to the Timeline. With the Copy option (Copied Folder result), you get copy of the project files plus copies of much more.
b. Instead, you appear to be talking about "archiving" in the context of AutoSaves. AutoSaves are saved snapshots of the project at various phases of the edit. They suffer from the same shortcomings of the original project that has been disconnected from its source media.
When you import media into a project, all you get are copies of the originals in the project. But, those copies need to trace back to originals at the locations where they were when first imported into the project. Moving, renaming, deleting files/folders that went into the project after the project save close leads to some very time consuming messy situations.
What to do....
If you can, put everything back the way it was. If not.....
Let me emphasis some factors..

It appears to be loading the project, and instead of completing, the following error message is displayed: "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements."
Here you mention specifically "client's video". Later you detail with .mod files converted to .avi. What kind of .avi? If you have converted to AVCHD.avi or H.264.avi, they have been found not to be compatible with Premiere Elements. You should not be able to import them into any new or old project.
From what you described, I am envisioning
"Video" Folder
which contains 2 folders named
"Timestamped Folder" with .avi files
and
"DVD" Folder with the project file (project.prel)
The project file has many files generated automatically in the course of it workflow. Where do you have them going?
(See Premiere Elements 10 Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Discs). If you have the Scratch Discs directed
"Same As Project", then we would expect all those files to be going to the DVD Folder in the above scenario.
If we could open the project and get greeted with some "Where is the file.....?" messages, that might give us some hope.
But that is not the case.
Consequently from what you have said, I am suggesting that the path of least resistance is try to recreate the "before".
Please review and consider.

I bought the Mac version of Premiere Elements, can I get the Windows version for free or cheap with my serial number?

I bought the Mac version of Premiere Elements, can I get the Windows version for free or cheap with my serial number? I'm about to migrate back to PC soon and I'd love to not have to buy the program again since I just bought it. Under my order history though it only shows it for Mac so I wanted to make sure.

The boxed packaging is not sold by Adobe direct. If you want to explore that type of purchase which offers the perk of a Windows and a Mac installation disc, you need to purchase from an authorized reseller who is not going to offer you "upgraded pricing". The seller would be its own entity with its own pricing and own return/refund policy. Sometimes the authorized reseller price may be less than the Adobe"upgraded pricing".
Did you purchase your Premiere Elements 13 Mac from Adobe direct and are within 30 days of purchase? If so, you can contact Adobe Chat Orders to ask for return/refund. And, then you can explore the authorized resellers for pricing and availability of the box packaging. Maybe check out the pricing all around before making any final decisions.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

E-mailed File "The project is not compatible with the current version of Premiere Elements"

I have Version 12 on a PC.
My friend has Version 12 on a MAC.
E-mailed him a file.
He could not open, and a message box popped up: "The project is not compatible with the current version of Premiere Elements".
Could someone kindly asssit, this does not make sense as to why it is not opening, since both computers are using the same version.
Thank you,

As said, you cannot open a Premiere Elements 12 Windows project file (named project.prel) in Premiere Elements 12 Mac. And vice versa.
Details
Given that your source is imported into a Premiere Elements 12 Windows project and placed on its Timeline for edit. That Timeline content cannot get out of the program without export. Export choices are found in the Publish+Share section of the program.
In your case, you want to take the Timeline content of Premiere Elements 12 Windows and export it to a format with which Premiere Elements 12 Mac supports (look at .mov or .mp4). In this regard, in Premiere Elements 12 Windows look at Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and one of its .mp4 presets or Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime and one of its .mov presets (suggested H.264 video codec).
Those exports will be saved to the computer hard drive of the Windows computer. Then email the .mov or .mp4 file (beforehand, check the
email carrier's specification for that). Depending on the circumstances, you could transfer the file to a USB Flash Drive for the sharing.
Remember, sharing the .mov and .mp4 involves "whole" video. Depending on the edits, the video may need to be cut by the receipent. You are not dealing with the project file. The story would be different if this sharing and editing is done from Premiere Elements Windows to Premiere Elements Windows. And, if that were the case, then you would have to assure that the source media of the project traveled with the project file. (See Project Archiver feature of the program.)
That is a rough sketch of the situation. I can fine tune the details further if necessary.
Please review and consider.
Thanks.

Error: This installer does not support installation on a 64-bit operating system. Please download the 64-bit version of Premiere Elements.

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?
Can we assume Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit and that you are dealing with purchased installation files instead of tryout?
In either case, it might be easier for you to consider the download of the Premiere Elements 13 tryout from the following web site, where it might be easier to pin point the files that you need for your specific computer environment, that is, 32 bit installation files for 32 bit operating system and 64 bit installation files for 64 bit operating system. . If you are dealing with purchased software and serial number, during installation of the tryout files you insert your purchased serial number into these installation files. And, remember, you need 2 files for the process...one with a .exe file extension and one with a .7z file extension
So, please review and consider the following

Which Version of Premiere Elements Supports Export to MP4 H264?

Which version of Premiere Elements started to support video export to MP4 using the H.264 codec for compression?

That's what I wanted to know thanks. It's a really strange way to support that since you are forced to make an indirect association between a particular viewing device and a resolution and codec.
Is there any version of Premiere Elements that will let me create a custom export profile that I can name with important attributes like resolution and codec name?

Where is the 64 bit version of Premiere Elements?

I bought a teachers version of Premiere elements and Photoshop elements. I tried to download it to my 64 bit computer. At no time during the download did there appear to be a choice of a 32 or 64 bit version. Something downloaded but it won't install (?) because my computer is the wrong bit size? Now when I go back to the serial number page, it says I have an invalid number. I am not an IT person and I need someone to walk me through this.

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Student Version of Premiere Elements/Photoshop Elements

Can I load the student version of Premiere Elements/Photoshop Elements onto multiple computers?

I should think so because Adobe's generic license allows installation on two devices but you need to read the EULA (End User License Agreement for specifics). Why not just install it and see what happens.
Adobe hasn't out its EULAs online like Microsoft so I can't check it.
This generic doesn't say anything.

No disc menu templates

I'm new to video editing and have just installed premiere elements 7, and I have no menu templates in the disc menu section. Should they be there? Where can I get them? Thanks

Regarding Rendering the Timeline....
The red line running across the Timeline indicates that the Timeline content requires Rendering, whereas green = OK.
You Render the Timeline in the Edit Mode (Orange Tab highlighted). This type of Rendering is done by pressing the Enter Key of the computer Main Keyboard. When the process is complete, the red line will turn green.
You do this type of Rendering to get the best possible preview of what your end product will look like. It does not impact the final quality. In other words, the end product will end up with the same quality with or without this Rendering, but you are just getting a window of opportunity to get an idea what the final product will look like. The process can be very time consuming, but worthwhile if after Rendering the Timeline you see problems which need correcting.
This Rendering process generates preview files (scratch files) that build up on the computer hard, typically in the default location My Documents/Adobe Folder/. If this is a problem, you could go into Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Discs and direct them to an external hard drive through the browse function there.
RE: Quality..often it is the play back of the finished product that is the ultimate test of quality.
