AVI Xvid and Premiere Elements 6......will I have problems?

Hello,
I am thinking about buying an Insignia NS-DCC5HB09 HD Camcorder which records to AVI(Xvid). I realize this isn't a high quality camera, but from what I've seen, will do as well if not better than my Panasonic PV-GS120 digital Camcorder.
I use Premiere Elements 6 on my Vista Home Premium Computer and I am curious if anyone can tell me if I will have problems using the video from this camera in my projects?

Many of the hi-def camcorders that are sold as being perfect for YouTube use MP4 compression (the Flip cameras, for instance). They're nice and small and cheap and are great for plug and play, but I don't recommend them if you want to do any video editing.
I also recommend against camcorders that save to hard drives, including the AVCHD hi-def camcorders. (I say this despite the fact that many people are using them.) They demand a tremendous amount of computing power in Premiere Elements. Maybe, in a few years, when computers are twice as fast as a typical quad core -- but not for today's under $1,000 computers.
My not-so-humble advice is to stick with tape-based camcorders, whether they are standard DV or hi-def. That means miniDV and HDV, basically. In fact, the Canon HV camcorders are used by a number of the people on the Muvipix site and they love them! Affordable and excellent quality.
In fact, go over to the Muvipix forum and check out the camcorder forum there. I'm sure you'll find lots of good information and friendly advice.

    I bought at Media Market the CD for installing Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 but I have no disc drive. Is it possible to install and register it online?

    I was in the same boat as you, so I went to Best Buy and purchased the box (on sale, by the way). I then downloaded the trials separately for Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements from the Adobe product site.
    In the box you should have been given 2 discs (one for Photoshop Elements (PS) and one for Premiere Elements (PE)) and something called a "redemption code" on a square of colorful cardboard with instructions on how to get your serial keys for installation. The single redemption code is NOT the serial/product key you use to install your purchase. Once you follow the instructions on this card you will be shown two serial/product codes, one each for PE and PS. Write them down, print them, whatever, you will need them during installation.
    Now go to the downloaded trial file(s) and run the installer, either for PE first or PS, it makes no difference. During the installation you will be asked if you want to start a trial or use a serial/product code. Choose "I have a code". Enter the product key and you will be golden. Repeat for the other program.
    Hope this helps!

  • After re-installation of my Premiere Elements 9.0 i have problems with the updates

    I re-installed Elements 9.0 on Windows 8.1 64Bit desktop.
    It all went fine.
    After a while the updater service indicates i have to install following updates :
    Photoshop Camera Raw 6.5 Update
    Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Update
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update
    The updater starts downloading the updates, and when he wants to install them I get for all 3 the following message :
    "Er is een fout opgetreden tijdens het downloaden van deze update. Sluit de download af en probeer het later opnieuw."
    or translated
    "An error occured while downloading the update.   Close the download and try later agian".
    Can somebody give me some advice ?

    Premiere Elements 9 on Windows 8.1 64 bit
    There is no need to give up your Premiere Elements 9 because of the downloading situation which you have described. That is, unless you need video editing features that are not offered in your version. Let me give you the how to details....
    1. With Premiere Elements 9 closed, download and install the 9.0.1 Update from the following link
    Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Premiere Elements 9.0.1 update
    2. With Photoshop Elements 9 closed, download and install the 9.0.3 Update from the following link
    Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 update
    On this one, I would suggest that you DO NOT download and install. Since its release, Barbara Brundage (expert) has
    recommended no using this update.
    Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 | Barbara's Sort-of-Tech Blog
    3. Camera Raw 6.5
    Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.5 update for Elements 9
    You should not need any more updates after the above mentioned. No further updates.
    If you need any help with the Camera Raw manual install or other on this, please let me know...have been
    there and done all of this before.
    We will be looking forward to the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • Reinstalling elements and premiere elements

    I recently "refreshed" my windows 8 which much to my surprise removed my elements among other things. How do I reinstall my elements and premiere elements? I still have the discs and the product key but when i insert discs nothing happens.

    tonitempts
    For now I will assume that when you insert the installation disc that the autoplay does not go into action.
    If that it what is happening, then go to File Explorer in the Task Bar, go to Computer and right click the drive in which the installation disc is inserted.
    Select Run Auto-Play and then, in the dialog that appears, click on Run AutoPlay.exe.
    If worse comes to worse, which it should not, you can always install from the Premiere Elements Folder's Setup.exe file.
    Please let us know the outcome.
    Thanks.
    More information on this later.

    My serial number for adobe photoshop elements 12 and premiere elements 12 does not work.  On adobe.com it shows that the serial number I received is associated with adobe photoshop elements 9 and premiere elements 9.  I have purchased those products in the past, but just recently upgraded to elements 12.  I can use the the photoshop organizer, but can't open the photoshop editor.

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

    I tried using the Guest Account on my Mac. In the Guest Account, Illustrator works perfect!
    Then I started wondering what processes (tools/tweaks) I run by default on my account. Turned out the problem was called by a little background tool called RightZoom. RightZoom let's the green 'zoom' button always maximize your current window.

  • Premiere Elements 11 will not open Projects

    I had to rebuild my Win 7 PC. Now Premiere Elements 11 will not open Projects saying that the file types are not supported. It will not open raw DV files either.

    Henry Clayton
    Along with Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 (presumed 64 bit), do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed? Are you running Premiere Elements 11 as Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    Can you open a new project?
    When you rebuilt your Window 7, did the source media that went into the existing projects remain in the same save locations with the same file names as before the rebuild?
    How are you opening these project.prel files that I am understanding that you created in version 11 before the Windows 7 rebuild?
    What is the nature of these "raw DV files" to which you refer? Are these DV AVI standard or widescreen files from a capture firewire into the Premiere Elements Capture Window?
    Let us start here and then we can decide what next.
    Thanks.

  • What do i do with a very slow Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements on a PC?

    I seem to be getting mixed opinions as to why my Adobe software gets so slow, despite efforts to avoid that, but my computer seems to be working just fine, it is only when in Adobe that the problems arise, like freezing, taking longer and longer periods of time to open the screen to edit a photo, or to compare two photos side by side.  Any process seems to take such a long time, and the freezing can last for several minutes, and then continue on.    I have had a computer person come to my house and examine my computer and though his knowledge of Photoshop is limited, he feels that it is NOT the computer but something with Adobe Photoshop.  I would tend to agree with him.   
    Several theories have been explained to me, such as Elements and Premiere Elements are a low end of the scale of Photoshop programs, so it is just not going to be able to process high definition large photos well and quickly.  Stating comments like i can only use 2 GB of my memory even though i have 8 GB, so unless i can use 64 bit this is what i have to deal with, and it is just a way for Photoshop to say you need to upgrade to the fancier programs.  I do not need fancier programs.  I am working hard to master these, and have accomplished 4 great blu rays in high definition thanks to recommendations from the Forum here, especially Steve with the help of his books. 
    Others say i need a solid state hard drive to solve the problem.  Others say the only way i will ever solve the problem is to switch to a MAC.  Others state is a mal-ware problem, but i have never had my hard drive so clean and uncluttered.  I supposedly have as good of PC as i could have as far as QUAD-core, 8GB memory, presently a 1 TB hard drive less than 1/2 full.   All suggestions involve big outlays of money, with no guarantee that things will be any better.  I have tried to contact different computer companies and computer 'nerds', and these are some of the suggestions, but no one really has a lot of knowledge of the Photoshop software. 
    I am thinking of adding an additional internal hard drive, but not sure that is going to help either.  Could i put all my Photoshop of the second hard drive, and might that speed things up? 
    Adobe is rather worthless in trying to get help from them.  I have spent hours on the phone waiting and then talking to someone who says they understand English but they do NOT understand the question i am asking, which becomes very frustrating with repeat phone calls.  I gave up yesterday trying to do that challenging experience yesterday after i had spent 3 times the amount of time they said i would need to wait to get a reply, and i was at work, and my free time had come to an end.  So i am hoping you guys can give me some clues of the best thing to do.
    Is it true that Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements are just such a lower end program that trying to do things in high definition, with 2000x1500 photos, making them into a blu ray disc is a major challenge with a PC?  I wish i had a greater computer knowledge, but i have struggled to achieve my goal, but the speed of it all gets very frustrating, though it is possible. 
    Another question asked which i don't think exists, is whether there is a program that could clean up Photoshop, or are there some clues that could accomplish that and thereby speed things up.
    Would appreciate any suggestions anyone has.  I am in the middle of another project so now is probably not the best time to consider any major changes.  But any comments would be appreciated.
    Ron

      Premiere Elements 10 is now 64 bit, but not PSE10.
    Take a look at your scratch disk set-up and if you have a spare volume, allocate that first before the C drive. Elements use scratch disks when it gets low on RAM.

  • Adobe premiere Elements 12 will not open editor

    I had Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on my laptop and worked fine. Decided to upgrade to Elements 12 and did but version 12 will not open editor, says sign in, I sign in but no editor. Organizer opens and loaded my Photos and videos. I purchased full retail version for download. My laptop runs windows 8.1 and has an Intel Core i5 dual core processor and 4GB ram.

    actll
    Have you gone to Computer/Manager/Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Applications and looked for error entries that appear to be associated with this problem?
    Did you purchase Photoshop Elements 12 as well as Premiere Elements 12, and does Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor open whereas Premiere Elements 12 will not open to its Expert or Quick workspaces?
    You have probably tried it, but can you open to the Premiere Elements workspaces from the Elements Organizer workspace?

  • 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.

  • Premiere Elements 12 will only render some of my footage?

    Premiere Elements 12 will only allow me to render some of my footage while it won't render other footage at all. The footage it renders has a green line above it in the work space and no line is above the footage that won't render. I'm using a MacBook Pro and a LaCie external hard drive to import my footage and save my project. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    1. Premiere Elements 12 on Mac. Have you updated from 12 to 12.1 yet - Help Menu/Update within a opened project? If not, please do so.
    I updated to 12.1
    2. What are the properties of what you are putting on the Expert workspace Timeline?
    Especially, if at all, how do the properties of the files displaying no Timeline lags and stops compare to the properties of the files that are presenting with Timeline lags and stops.
    All of the content is in .mov format
    3. What are you or the project setting as the project preset? To confirm, please tell us what you find Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the Editing mode, Timebase, Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio readings, even if they look grayed out?
    Editing mode is "HDV 1080i"
    Timebase is "29.97 frames/second"
    Frame size is "1440 horizontal 1080 vertical"
    Pixel Aspect Ratio is "HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.33)"
    4. What is the duration of the Timeline when the lags and stops begin....are these lags and stops related to the time on the Timeline or to specific files....if these problem files were moved to another part of the Timeline, would they still be problem files?
    The lags and stops begin at approximately 24 seconds of the timeline, but when I move this content to another part of the timeline the lags and stops begin where this first problem file begin. The lags and stops are most likely related to specific files, however that doesn't make sense since some .mov files don't lag/stop while other .mov files do lag/stop. The files are still problem files even when moved to another part of the timeline.
    5. Are there transitions applied to the Timeline content? What effects are you adding to clips?
    There are no transitions applied to the timeline content. I've only added a fast-forward effect to one clip (a clip that rendered fine and doesn't lag/stop) in my project thus far.
