Auto Analyzer in Premier Elements 11

I've never before owned or used any video software. I just purchased and installed Premier Elements 11.
I searched for "Updates", which the program found. After starting to download, I received an error dialog to the effect of: -- cannot proceed; must first uninstall "Elements Auto Analyzer".
What the heck was that, I thought. I had no idea, but I am familiar with the Windows boot procedure, so I went to "msconfig>Startup", and sure enough, I found "Elements Auto Analyzer". I unchecked it, closed msconfig, and rebooted the computer. Now that "Elements Auto Analyzer" was not running, the update to Premier Elements 11 downloaded and installed without a problem.
Ok, I am familiar with Windows’ "msconfig"; but what about others? How do most people update Premier Elements 11? So I rooted around as I was exploring this brand-new-to-me program. I stumbled upon "Organizer>Media Analysis>Run Analyzer on System Startup", and its associated checkbox.
So I ask, what is this Media Analysis tool? Should I leave the box checked, knowing that it then loads this Auto Analyzer tool upon every system startup? Or should I uncheck the box so that the Auto Analyzer does not automatically load.
If helpful, know that I purchased Premier Elements 11 for the purpose of capturing, editing and burning DVDs from video on my old VHS tapes.
Thank you for your assistance,
Howard

As I use a similar program, Adobe Bridge (with Premiere Pro, Photoshop, InDesign, etc.), I am only speculating a bit here.
I would run Auto Analyzer one time (might take a bit, depending on the number of Images and Videos on one's system and the speed of the computer), to establish the Albums (or whatever they are called in Organizer), and then turn it OFF, so it does not fire up, whenever an Image, or Video is added to the system, then run it once more, manually, before using Organizer with PrE. I do not like having a lot of programs running in the background, especially if the are likely to pop up and begin cataloging, whenever I make a simple change, like Coping over some Video files from a flash card. I want complete control.
Now, Steve, who is the guru, on all things PrE, might have different advice, so go with his, over mine, any day.
Happy editing,
Hunt

Elements auto analyzer.exe for elements 10

I have been trying to update to camera raw 6.7. I get a message telling me to close the elements auto analyzer.exe. I went through the steps under edit preferences to disable. My Task manager shows no open apps. What am I missing?
Thank you.

Try restarting and running the update again.

Auto analyze in Photoshop Elements 13

Cant't find analyze.

You'll see that 'smart tags' are now 'deprecated features'.
To be short, the autoanalyzer which nearly nobody used was a source of major problems and complaints. If 'smart tags' are what you are after, they are now gone.

Using Auto- Analyzer for Scene detection only (and save time)

As a completely new user of Premier Elements 8 (running on a AMD phenom 3 core, 4g Ram, 500G Sata HD, Win Xp prof) I brought into Organise in the PE8 workspace clips imported in through Windows Movie Maker from my old DV video camera. I wanted to dectect the scene boundaries so I ran Auto-Analyse from the PE8 workspace. This took upto 4 hrs to analyse a 1hr clip which puzzled me as Movie maker only took about 20mins to detect the scenes on a much slower and lower spec laptop.
Tip
If you just want to Scene Detect don'r run Auto-Analyze from Premier workspace instead start with your first clip via the Organiser.   Reason - In the PE8 workspace "Edit" "preferences" Auto-Analyze does not appear so it will run with the defaults which is all tag options selected e.g "focus" "face recognition".
Instead go into Organise from the front page launcher, in "Edit" "preferences" Autoanalyse does appear with all the tag options selected as default   If you deselect all options and then run Autoanalyse on the video clip only scene detection runs on the video (the 1 hour clip was analysed with just the scene boundaries in less than 15mins!) The change from the default seems to apply when you run from the PE8 workspace after this so subsequent scene detection on other clips runs quickly.
P.S.
Old hands may know this trick but so far I had not picked anything up from the web based docs and information - so this is for novices such as myself. There may be other ways of scene detection but in my limited experience have not come across any yet.

Starting Auto-Analyzer.....

When I run Auto-Analyzer in Premiere Elements 10 on Mac OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion), I see the dialog "Starting Auto-Analyzer....." but nothing's happening. I've waited and waited but Auto-Analyzer never starts.

Start up a Premiere Elements project using the project settings for a 1080p DSLR.
There are components in the program that aren't downloaded and installed until you first use them.
That may work. But it's hard to say. That camcorder is neither a true DSLR nor a true AVCHD cam.
In fact, if, when you add a clip to your timeline, the program offers to change the project settings, let it. It will make its best guess which codec your video is using.
Unfortunately, a number of these pocket cams create their own proprietary MOV codecs so that they can store their video on very small hard drives -- so they may or may not behave as they should in Premiere Elements.

Auto-Analyzer changes files - PSE 8

Hi!
I have noticed that the Auto-Analyzer in Photoshop Elements 8 does change my JPG-files. What is the analyzer changing within my files? Can this be turned off? Thanks in advance for your help!
Martin

When the auto-analyzer applies a tag to your photo, it writes the tag into the photo's metadata, which causes the file's last-modified date to change. The analyzer isn't changing the image, however (or recompressing it).
This behavior is inconsistent with the way the rest of PSE handles keyword tags -- normally, PSE only writes tags when you invoke the File > Write Keyword Tag command. I believe this inconsistency results from "implementation convenience" -- it was easier for the engineers to implement it that way.

Auto-analyzer crashes in Premiere Elements 12

I'm loading a number of home videos to my computer. I've imported a bunch of DV tapes that were recorded direclty on DV successfully; now I'm importing DV tapes that were originally recorded on 8mm tapes, and were transferred to DV tapes. As a result, there is no timecode on the tapes to identify scene changes.
So I'm importing them in the "Expert" mode and have selected to split scenes by content. It appears that this is done using the Auto-Analyzer. However, the auto-analyzer never completes its process, it always crashes on these tapes (I'm now 4 crashes on 4 tapes). The video (one hours' worth) is imported to the computer successfully, but only as one long scene; I don't get any split scenes.
Any ideas on how to get auto-analyzer to complete successfully, or another way to get split scenes? System is running Win7, 8GB RAM.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the follow up.
Trimming clips in the Premiere Elements Preview Window with its Set In and Set Out points is not an automatic process. So, you do not want it.
And, the AutoAnalyzer feature is not able to detect scenes in your footage. So where does that leave us?
No scenes detected....
1, Have you tried capturing your footage into a program such as Windows Live Movie Maker/Movie Maker or other capturing program to determine if any program can detect and split the scenes in your videos on a consistent basis?
2. Have you disabled the AutoAnalzyer options in Elements Organizer preferences and then done your DV Capture?
See Elements Organizer workspace/Edit Menu/Preferences/MediaAnalysis.
3. Have you completed your DV Capture without Split Scenes and AutoAnalzyer disabled, taken your capture into Project Assets, clicked on Run AutoAnalyzer, and gotten scene detection and scene splitting?
General Comments
I do not believe that the AutoAnalzyer was ever intended as a video splitting tool, rather a "Smart Tagger" and might split video clips in the process. Today it is a last resort for those who seek it to split video into scenes according to content AFTER capture/import. Please check out one explanation of the AutoAnalzyer and what it is supposed to be doing.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4551932
In much earlier versions of Premiere Elements, the Premiere Elements Capture Window had a Split Scenes by Timecode or Content option and an AutoAnalzyer option. Most recommended that the AutoAnalzyer option not be used in that case because of numerous problems associated with it use there. So, based on that, I am not sure how the program is programmed to differientiate between Split Scenes by Content and AutoAnalzyer's side effect of trying to split video clips into scenes by content.
I work with the AutoAnalyzer disable in the Elements Organizer preferences. And, you the feature on an "on demand" basis when needed. I do not do any DV or HDV firewire captures. If I leave the AutoAnalzyer enabled in Elements Organizer preferences, I find my video split into clip and stacked. I do not want that.
I have not explored capture utilities first hand so I cannot speak to that other than if I did a Google search.
Please review the above, and please update us on your progress.
Thank you.

R6034 and Auto-Analyzer problems in Photoshop Elements 9.0

When I start the organizer of Photoshop Elements 9.0 I get an error that says:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program File...
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information
Sometimes clicking okay to this message allows me into the program and sometimes it crashes PE9.
The auto-analyzer is also not working. When I select an image and choose "Run Auto-Analyzer" it says starting auto-analyzer and then eventually it fails saying it cannot analyze the file.
I have tried several things on the advice of technical support without it helping
Reinstalling the application
Reinstalling the visual c++ redistributables 2005, 2008, and 2010.
Troubleshoot catalog issues
Manually remove Photoshop Elements 9 | Windows
I have also created a new user and tried running the program from a new user.
Nothing has solved the problem. My library is about 10 thousand photos in about 25 gigs of space.
Any advice?
All the advice I found online about R6034 seems to be bogus help pages filled with spyware, so I'm hoping that someone can help me out.

Elements 9 Auto-Analyze Causes Crash

I'm trying a trial version of Photoshop Elements 9. I've discovered that whenever it tries to do the auto-analyze function, the software crashes. I had to disable the "Analyze Photos for People Automically" to keep the software from crashing after startup. But still, it defeats the purpose of being able to do facial recognition which is the main reason why I want to upgrade from Elements 6 to 9. It crashes even if I try to analyze ONE picture.
I've read other posts but couldn't find any solutions. Is there a fix for this? Without the facial recognition, there's not much point in upgrading. In fact it forces me to look at other alternatives such as Google Picassa which does facial recognization just fine on my computer. But I'd prefer to stick with Elements if possible.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using Windows XP SP3 fully patched. Photoshop Elements 9 is fully up to date. My 256MB Geforce 6200 video card has the latest drivers installed. I've got 17 GB of free space on my hard drive and 1.5 GB of RAM.

Thank you for your response.
I did have everything unchecked in the Media Analysis preferences. It would still crash whenever I manually ran the Auto-Analyzer from the context menu or the "Start People Recognition" button.
I went ahead and checked just the "Face" option but the results are the same. When I click the "Start People Recognition" button, it brings up a box that says "Analyzing Your Media", it pauses for several seconds and then it crashes.
Any other suggestions? Do you know if this a software issue or a hardware issue?

Elements auto analyzer has malfunctioned and needs to close

Every day I get messages saying Elements auto analyzer has malfunctioned and needs to close. APE9 is not even open. Howw can I stop this?

When you go to the Organizer's Edit/Preferences/Auto Analyzer, is it set to run automatically? If so, does this problem persist if you turn it off?

Close elements auto analyzer

How do I close elements auto analyzer? I am trying to download a new camera raw version - elements 11 - and it has 2 seconds left but will go no further as the elements auto analyzer will not close. I went to organizer - edit - preferences - media analyzer - un checked run at start up but nothing has changed. Help! I have been strugggling with importing raw files from my Panasoic FZ200 for weeks and was 2 seconds to fixing it!

Thank you! It wasn't as easy as how you presented it but with the help of a friend as well we started with what you suggested and eventually got there. It works! Now my Lightroom 4 won't import the raw from my Lumix either but I don't think I can handle that today.

FYI when installing Premiere Elements - auto analyzer

Please ignore if this is old news...
Just noticed something. I am running PSE8 and turned off the auto analyzer due to it slowing my system to a halt. I recently installed Premiere Elements 8 and noticed my system ran extremely slow after that. I opened up my task manager and found the analyzer running. Looks like Premiere restarted the analyzer.
Jason

Interesting, and dangerous. I recommend that everyone keep the Auto-Analyzer turned off. Not only can the Auto-Analyzer hog your computer, it will corrupt your map locations, split your video clips into "scene groups" that are hard to get rid of, modify the date/time of every file, crash frequently,and litter your folders with temporary files:

Disable Adobe Premiere Elements 10 Auto-Analyzer

To complete an elements software update I have to disable the Auto analyzer. But the reason I'm trying to do the update is because the elements constantly thinks it's busy and won't allow anything to work, so I can't get to the elements organiser which is busy to turn the analyzer off. catch 22. What going on?
Any ideas please. thank you.

I just changed from PSE 11 to 12. With eleven all was fine with the auto analyzer, but with PSE 12 it has become a real pest -using lots of RAM and > 25% of CPU.
Though I unchecked all options the Auto Analyser started every time I opened PSE 12. I also checked the autostart options and the Registry. Finally I renamed the Program, similar to this instruction: http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/31/the-elements-12-auto-analyzer-adobes-evil-undead/
This works, but that cannot be the only sulution (apart from using the old version).
I hope someone has a good solution for this annoying part of PSE 12

Premiere Elements 4 auto analyze off

Help. I tried to install Premiere Elements 9 on my old Vista machine and got the dreaded error 1935 CE3230AC-E72E-3EDF-8A57-87FCE1CF2629 HRESULT: 0x80071A30. Searching for help, I came to the conclusion that it is a registry cash screwed up and reinstalling Vista is really the only way. So I went back, reinstalled Premiere Elements 4 and came here for help with: Auto Analyze, scene detect seems to be on and I can't turn it off??? Capturing video from DV leaves me with 100 files instead of the 1 I want. Impossible to find help/support for PE4. Anyone know now to turn this make many files on capture off????

Hello Steve
I have attached a couple screen shots. Let me know if you have any trouble seeing, I can always post them to another location.
You say
You can launch the Elements Organizer from the Premiere Elements Welcome screen when you first start the program.
I have attached the welcome screen where I see no way to launch Ele organizer. What am I missing? The top menu items are all unaccessable.
You say
The option to break scenes by content is on the the Capture screen, which opens when you select the DV Capture option under the Get Media button under the Premiere Elements Edit tab.
I can find no such option except one grayed out under clip back at the project screen. Again I have attached a couple screen shots to show you what I see.
There must be something obvious that I am missing or that is different about my APE4 instance.
Happy Sunday

In order to turn off the background Auto Analyzer, you need to be in the Elements Organizer program. Not Premiere Elements. You can launch the Elements Organizer from the Premiere Elements Welcome screen when you first start the program.
The option to break scenes by content is on the the Capture screen, which opens when you select the DV Capture option under the Get Media button under the Premiere Elements Edit tab. This will only affect how the program performs with freshly captured DV video, of course.
