Avchd video file made with Premiere Elements 8 won't fast forward or reward

I just finished an AVCHD video project in Premiere 8 and I can't fast forward or rewind the file on my computer with Windows Media Player or in Windows Media Center. The file plays nicelly but it's annoying watch it from start to finish for 45 minutes.
I have a Vixia HF S20 - the video format of the original files was ACHD. After finishing editing the project I choose to save it on my PC (a Dell Inspiron 8100 with I5 - so lots of power awailable) as a MPEG file. I noticed that this format was the only one that gave me the option to save the video in H.264 1920x1080i 30 preset.
The rendering of the video took some 3 hours. It saved the video in AVCHD format and at playback, on my computer screen, it looks just as it should - HD quality - but the lack of controls it's really, really stupid!
Anyway, I need help to figure out what is happening here. Did I do something wrong? Are there other saving settings/presets to choose from that retain the HD quality I am not aware of?  Thanks a million in advance!

Well, if you are weighing things against WMP, it could be that PrE could have done something differently.
Now, I am not a fan of WMP, and am REALLY not a fan of RealMedia Player. I liken that latter one to a Trojan, waiting to happen. I last had a version installed about 12 years ago, and would never let another copy near any of my computers.
Besides the two that I mentioned, GOM Player gets high marks, as well.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Can video files made with a Canon XA-10 be imported into FCPX?

    Files made with a Canon XA-10 do not seem to be recognized by FCPX.
    Recording system of camcorder is  MPEG-4 AVC/H.264.
    Is there a format problem or a media conversion that needs to be made?
    Thank you.
    John

    Tom is exactly right.  Connect the XA10 to the computer using the USB cable that came with it.  Then go File > Import from Camera.
    Up will pop the import from camera window, which should show two cameras -- your Mac's built-in iSight camera, as well as your XA-10.  And you should see the thumbnails from all the various videos you've shot with the camera.  Just select the ones you want to import and click Import.
    FCPX will begin importing (and transcoding) the videos.  Do not disconnect the camera while this process is unfolding (it may take a while depending on how many videos and how long the videos are).

  • Projects settings for AVCHD MTS files in Adobe Premiere Elements 8

    Hello,
    I have read several discussions already, about importing AVCHD MTS file in Adobe Elements (version 8), but I'm also confused a littlebit, so I would like to confirm if I'm correct.
    FYI, I have a Canon Legria HFR26 camera and am using Adobe Premiere Elements 8 (with the latest updates installed).
    According to the specs in the Canon instruction manual:
    Videos are recorded in high definition using AVCHD specifications
    (MPEG-4/H.264 compression).
    Audio compression: Dolby Digital 2ch
    The camera supports making video's in different format, but I have done it in the default SP format, which results in a resolution of 1440x1080 (50 fields per second, interlaced).
    I have copied the video from the camera to my harddisk, and Windows also mentions the video's as AVCHD of 1440x1080 (Bitrate 7672kbps).
    The frame rate is 25 frames/second. I assume this is correct for 50i?
    So, when I import my video's into Adobe Elements 8, I select the following projects settings:
    PAL, AVCHD, HD 1080i 25
    Because the description matches my video files:
    - For editing with 1440x1080i AVCHD camcorders.
    - 16:9 interlaced HD video at 25 frames per second.
    - 48kHz audio.
    The video's are imported correctly and I can play them. However, as soon as I drop a video on the timeline, Adobe immediately starts background rendering the video (a red line appears on the timeline).
    What I understand from some discussions, is that this shouldn't happen, because the video format doesn't match the project settings. On the other hand, I have also read that for Adobe Elements 8 this is normal behaviour and it always start background rendering AVCHD video's.
    Is this expected behaviour or should I chance my projects settings or maybe even convert my video files to a different format?
    Thanks,
    Michiel

    The ability to work natively with AVCHD files was not added until version 10, Michiel. So you'll still have to render while you work in version 8.

  • Converting Video Files For Windows Premiere Elements Editing

    A client has given me a couple of dozen videotapes, about half MiniDV and the other half VHS-C. He's also given me a 1TB external hard drive.
    He would like the drive returned with a single unedited video file for each tape loaded onto it. He will then edit these tapes in Adobe Premiere Elements on a Windows PC, and ultimately burn DVDs.
    I have the necessary equipment to capture the contents of all of these tapes into FCP, but I have two questions.
    First, what should I convert these files to? I'm thinking QuickTime movies, or DV, since Premiere Elements can work with either of those, and storage space shouldn't be a problem; all the footage is SD, of course.
    Second, I haven't connected the drive he's given me yet; if I need to format this drive for my MacPro to use, will my customer then have problems accessing the video files? Or, is there a proper way for me to format this drive so that the files will be readable when he gets it back?
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    It's never a good idea to capture on a different NLE than the one which will be used for editing. It can cause all sorts of compatibility problems. There are even issues going between FCP and iMovie -both Mac applications.
    I'm thinking QuickTime movies, or DV, since Premiere Elements can work with either of those,
    Are you *absolutely sure* about that, given that a PC based NLE typically works with avi files?
    As to your disc formatting questions, you can download the [NTFS-3G driver|http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com> which will let you read, write and even reformat the drive as NTFS on the Mac. All reasonably modern PCs work with this disc format and you won't run into the file size limitations associated with FAT formatted drives.

  • Premiere 6.5 files compatible with Premiere Element 9 ??

    Hi all,
    I think to change my old MAC Powerbook G4 (laptop) for an Imac intel core duo 21.5 inches.
    But before to change it I have a very important question about Adobe PRemiere 6.5 and Adobe Premiere Element 9
    What about my files/project created with Premiere 6.5 if I want to open  them with Adobe Premiere Element 9 ?
    Is it possible ? IS there any trouble bewteen these software ? does PRemiere Element 9 support okds projects created with PRemiere 6.5 ?
    It's very important for me because I have to finish (editing, effect, etc...) some short movies I started to edit with Premiere 6.5
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    A.

    Sorry, A, but these files are not even remotely compatible.
    Premiere 6.5 is a ten-year-old piece of software that was completely overhauled to created Premiere Pro. So the project files definitely won't open in Premiere Elements.
    However, if you've output DV-AVIs from Premiere 6.5, you may well be able to use those as source video in Premiere Elements 9.

  • How do I rotate a video 90 degrees with premiere elements 9?

    I shot a birthday video of the neighbors 5 year old with my Canon T2i camera.  Had to turn the camera on its side to get everything in the shot.  I can view the video right side up in the canon software but can not make the change permanent so the neighbor can watch it on his computer.  Can I rotate the video 90 degrees in premiere and make it permanent?  If not, where do I go?
    Thanks
    Cliff
    [email protected]

    As Steve says, Rotation with Video, is not so straightforward.
    If you oriented the camera on its side, to get more of the image, then I would recommend that after you Rotate the Video, that you Scale it to fit perfectly within the Frame Size. This will result in Pillar Boxing, with black bars on the sides, as with Video, you have a horizontal Aspect Ratio.
    If this was just due to the mechanical need to mount the camera sideways, or due to an error, then one could Rotate, then just Scale Up and effective crop the top, or bottom, or both with the Project's Frame Size.
    This is often done when taping actors for bluescreen work, but in that case, one is going to eliminate the bluescreen background anyway, and Key the material into a horizontal Video background, so the end result is different, than what you have.
    Now, one artistic treatment would be to Rotate, and then use your footage as a PiP, inside of a larger image. Though it was written for doing this with stills in a Video, look at this ARTICLE for some ideas on how this might be used with your footage. The actual application of those techniques will ONLY be limited by your imagination. Hope that it gives you some good ideas.
    Good luck,

  • SWF Video file made with AVS

    I have a videofile given to me from the client as a SWF, they
    have used AVS software to convert.
    I load the SWF file in using MovieClipLoader, it plays ok,
    however, I can't seem to control it. I need to know when the clip
    is finished, and for it to stop looping. I also want to be able to
    stop it when the video is clicked.
    Has anyone had experience of this type of Video file? I would
    appreciate any response,
    Thanks,

  • With Premiere elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264  .mov file type, what are the recommended Codec and Aspect settings for a crisp video and a small file size?

    With Premiere Elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264  .mov file type, what are the recommended Aspect and Codec settings , for a crisp video with a small file size?

    Gary Krouse
    We will customize a very detailed reply, but
    (a) What are the properties of your source media?
    (b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
    (c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
    File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.
    Thanks.

  • What file do I play on my computer in a AVCHD disk folder created with premier elements 12?

    What file do I play on my computer in a AVCHD disk folder created with premier elements 12?

    Phantomkeeper
    Just in case note...the DVD-VIDEO folders/files structure is different from that of the AVCHD format.
    For DVD-VIDEO (burn to folder)
    VIDEO_TS Folder
    and your menus are typically found in VTS_01_0.VOB file in the VIDEO_TS Folder
    and your video is typically found in VTS_01_0.VOB file in the VIDEO_TS Folder
    For AVCHD format (burn to folder)
    BDMV Folder
    and your video is typically 00000.m2ts file in the STREAM Folder
    and your menus are typically 00001.m2ts and 00002.m2ts files  in the StREAM Folder.
    If you want a single file (not yet on a disc) that will play back your Premiere Elements export, then I think you need a consider disc image file (.iso or .vdd).
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/11/pe12-disc-imagephantom-burner-pe.html
    If you take the BDMV Folder from the Premiere Elements AVCHD (with menus) burn to folder into a 3rd party software like ImgBurn, you can put the BDMV Folder on a DVD or Blu-ray disc (to get BDMV Folder and an added CERTIFICATE Folder) and play that back with menus on a Blu-ray player that supports those formats on a supported disc type.
    You wrote
    but I was looking for the file like the VIDEO_TS file that plays from the menu in a DVD folder.
    I have never gotten the VIDEO_TS.VOB file (standalone file) in the VIDEO_TS Folder to playback with a computer player or any other. So, please explain how you have accomplished this, including the player name and whether standalone or computer.
    Please review. If you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask. The situation above is my take on the matter.
    Thanks.

  • New JVC GY-HM100u won't work with Premiere Elements 4...?????Help

    Does anyone know if, and why Premeire Elements 4 w
    ill not work with JVC GY-HM100U camera?
    The video uploads into premeire 4, but I have no audio. Please help.
    Eric

    Eric
    You really need to define what you are recording with that JVC camcorder and trying to edit in Premiere Elements 4. Are you recording AVCHD (represented as MPEG4 AVC/H.264) and frame size 1920 x 1080 30 frames per second OR 1440 x 1080 30 frames per second OR what might be AVCHD Lite (MPEG4 AVC/H.264) but with the lesser resolution of 1280 x 720, 30 frames per second?
    AVCHD is not supported by Premiere Elements 4. AVCHD support for Premiere Elements exists for versions 7 and 8. There is a special case where, with certain Sony Vaio and Sony Add On, you end up with AVCHD support for your setup. As I recall, in the days of Premiere Elements 4 users who did not have this special Sony Vaio, they needed to convert the AVCHD to a non AVCHD format in order to work with it in Premiere Elements 4.0 (with 3rd party software).
    To avoid the speculation, best to download and install the first utility named gspot and give us a read out for Video Codec: Name: Status; Audio Codec: Name: Status; frame rate, frame size, etc. Be sure to indicate what the file extension is for these videos (.mov, .mp4, .m2t, .mts, .m2ts, or other.
    http://www.headbands.com/gspot/v26x/quick_start.html
    From what I have read this camcorder does not record SD, but is probably recording AVCHD and HDV. If I am on the right track with this one, have you taken time to look at Premiere Elements 4 with other JVC formats, like HDV, besides whatever you are using now?

  • Can i edit MTS files with premiere elements 13

    I have a new camcorder and I have a problem editing with premiere elements 7, does elements 13  offer a solution? I believe it is the type of file that is not compatible.

    bordstiff
    In this thread I have no interests but to supply reliable information to you. What I have written stands as is. And, my answer to your questions will continue to be honest and for your consideration. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask me.
    As for AVCHD.mts and AVCHD.mp4 in camera whose specifications offer the choice of AVCHD or .MP4.....both have been reported to use a form of AVCHD video compression with different wrapper formats (.mts and .mp4). Again, I did not post to go further into that. Please refer to the following link's post dated February 12, 2014 as one discussion of the matter.
    FCP.co Forum :: Topic: AVCHD vs. MP4 ? (1/2)
    I did not discover that AVCHD.mts does not play back the audio portion of an AVCHD.mts file when played back in the Elements Organizer 13 player. That has been the reality of Premiere Elements 13/Elements Organizer 13 users who found this out by themselves later than sooner. And, I confirm their results in those cases. There is no fix for this at the present time, and that is a user to user honest non marketing report. If this Elements Organizer issue is not an important concern for you, then this is a non issue for you.
    Best wishes with your projects.

  • Is it possible to make a cartoon animation video with Premiere Elements ?

    Is it possible to insert 16 different images every seconds in a video ? I will like to make an cartoon animation. Is it possible with Premiere Elements ? It look like it is only possible to change a picture/image every 1 seconds.
    What software is good to make a small cartoon in size 140 * 140 pixels ?
    Best regards,
    Bo

    Bo,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Doing stop-motion animation in PrE is easy, but as PrE is designed for common Video Frame Sizes, that 140 x 140 pixels will be tough. However, if you create your images at a larger size, that matches a common Video Frame Size, say 720 x 480, you can output to smaller size. In general terms, Video is horizontal rectangular.
    To do the stop-motion animation in PrE, irrespective of that Frame Size, you would go to Edit>Preferences>General>Still Frame Duration, and there, you can set that Duration from 1 Frame, to almost infinity. Note: unlike some other settings on that General screne, the Still Frame Duration is in Frames.
    You might be better off using a program like Photoshop Elements, and outputting to an Animated GIF. There are also many Animated GIF programs available, and many are free.
    Adobe Flash would be a great choice, but it's not inexpensive. Same for Adobe After Effects. Both of those are designed to do all sorts of non-standard Video animations. However, for the price of either of those, one could buy dozens of Animated GIF creation programs.
    PrE can do similar with Animated GIF (I could not find this in PrE 11, but others found it in previous versions), but due to its design around common Video specs., there will be limitations to overcome.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    Install the excellent 'Search Everything' utility and enter 'extreme' as a search term. Note that when you first run 'Everything' it takes time to index your drive(s). After that though it is a nearly instantaneous start.
