Camcorder for Premiere Elements

I am looking for a sub $1000 dollar camcorder that saves to card media in SD that I can be confident will work well with Premiere Elements 7.  Whatever codec the camera uses to compress shouldn'r give Premiere Elements problems.  I would love to hear suggestions.  For an educational documentary project.  Thanks

Actually, you'll be hard pressed to find a miniDV that costs more than $400!
Although they've fallen out of favor with the general public (who like the convenience of hard drive and flash cams), video editors know the truth: It's far and away the easiest format for interfacing with a computer. And that goes for Macs as well as PCs.
Actually, I was being just a bit facetious when I said you'd be hard pressed to find a miniDV under $400. There are prosumer units (like the Canon XL series) that start at $1,000.
But you'll get great results with a mid-level Sony, Panasonic or Canon! And those can be had for between $200 and $400. Don't be afraid to buy a discontinued or even refurbished model on Amazon. They can be great deals!
In my experience, Sonys give the best low-light performance and value.

  • Best laptop for Premiere Elements

    Can you recommend a laptop for Premiere Elements.
    I have PE9 and thinking about PE10.
    Preferably matte screen.
    UK based so Sager not really an option.
    Thanks

    Laptops are never best for video editing, since they're usually built for portability rather than power. They also cost about 50% more than desktops for the same amount of power.
    But what type of camcorder is your video coming from?
    If you are editign tape-based video, a dual-core processor and 4 gigs of RAM with a 500 gig hard drive should be adequate.
    If you are working with AVCHD video, you should go for a quad core or i7 processor running Windows 7 64-bit.

  • Is Sony Handycam HDR-SR10 a supported device for Premiere Elements 10?

    Is the Sony Handycam HDR-SR10 a supported device for Premiere Elements 10?

    I cannot give any guarantee as to whether you can make a USB connection between camcorder and computer/Premiere Elements 10 Get Media/"Flip, AVCHD, Cameras, Phones or Removal Drive"/Video Importer but it might work.
    But worst case, which is not so bad, is transferring the AVCHD files to the computer hard drive and then importing the files into a Premiere Elements 10 project with the program's Get Media/Files and Folders.
    If you have Full 1080i30, then the project preset that you would set before you import the files would be
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    Full HD 1080i30
    We can discuss more about settings when you have more details.
    You are at a disadvantage with Premiere Elements 10 on Windows Vista (32 or 64 bit). In that arrangement, Premiere Elements 10 is a 32 bit application with the limitations of 32 bit system. AVCHD is a rather resource demanding format. If Premiere Elements 10 were on specifically Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, then it would be a 64 bit application that could take advantage of the 64 bit resources. All that would translate into getting a larger project taken to successful completion with a greater frequency.
    Please review and then we can go further into the details and then decide what next.
    Thanks.

  • Where can I find the PDF manual for Premiere Elements?

    Does Adobe have a full manual in PDF file format for Premiere Elements 9.0?
    P.S. Watch out for trying to handle large (> 700meg) AVI files.  Phone support says I'm SOL on bringing in my 6.5 gig 24 minute file.  Their solution?
    Bring it in small chunks or buy a new computer with more than 8gig of RAM.  Why don't they just tell you before you buy, that unless you have an awsome computer, don't waste your money on our software?

    Thanks John
    I have reviewed the online information, and the DVD's and still don't see a full blown manual (PDF file format or otherwise).  If all you get is the

  • CPU requirement for Premiere Elements 10?

    Hi there,
    Unfortunately, I think I know the answer to this already, but thought I'd toss this out there to see if anyone has gotten it to work.
    On a Windows XP sp3 PC with a 1.86ghz Core2 6300 CPU with 2gb RAM, I'm unable to install Adobe Premiere Elements 10. When I run setup.exe I get "This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor."
    The system requirements for Premiere Elements 10 do list a 2ghz CPU with SSe2 support. The Core2 6300 does support SSe2, but runs at 1.86ghz not 2ghz.
    Just haven't seen a program actually refuse to install based on CPU speed before. Guess I've been lucky. But can anyone confirm that the installer actually won't install on a slower processor speed. Not sure what else the error could be than this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sir_timbit

    I know about the min specs. The reason I'm asking if it really checks the CPU speed is I have a school that *is* running Premiere Elements 10 on the exact same hardware. Same CPU. The only difference is the new version I'm trying to install is the volume license version, part of the Adobe Digital School collection. The school that already has it running is using Premiere Elements 10 with either separate licenses or some other license setup. So it doesn't make sense why it worked but doesn't now.
    Testing today. On my test PC, a Core 2 6300 XPsp3, the setup would start up OK using the non-VL installer, but fail when I tried to use the setup.exe from the new installer. As far as I know the program is the same, but I don't think I can do the XML customizations needed to do a silent installer on the non volume licensed version of Premiere Elements 10. In short, why does one version of PE 10 install but not the other?

  • I just downloaded and paid for Premiere elements but now want the combined Premiere and Photoshop elements. How do I do this?

    My headline says it all. I would like to turn my Premiere Elements order into the combined Premiere and Photoshop Elements download offer. I have already paid for Premiere Elements but would like to take advantage of the combined offer for only another $40 or so. How do I do this?
    I only downloaded and paid for the Premiere Elements package about two days ago.

    Did you purchase Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe Direct? If so, are you within 30 days of that purchase? If the answer to both of those questions is Yes and it appears to be, then you should explore
    Contact Adobe Chat clicking on the following link
    Contact Customer Care
    Premiere Elements
    Membership, Account, Payment
    Payments, Invoices, Orders
    Chat Panel
    If the link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
    Under the conditions mentioned at the beginning of this reply, I am speculating that Adobe should be able to give you your money back for the Premiere Elements 13, allowing you to purchase Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements which are sold together, but are still really standalone products. How Adobe opts to do that is at its discretion.

  • Where can I download the software for premiere elements 7

    I lost the CD software for Adobe Premiere Elements 7.  I searched on the Adobe site for the download and can't find it anywhere. I spoke to Customer service and they told me to come here and someone should be able to help me.  Does anyone know where I can download it and install it to my computer.  I still have the case with the serial number just don't have the software

    scoobynewarknj
    I do not see any opportunities for a free source of Premiere Elements 7 installation files.
    There is a web site that offers tryout downloads which you can install and then insert your purchased serial number into the install.
    However, they offer only the installation files for 9.0/9.0.1, 10, 11, 12, and 13.
    There may be very limited chances to purchase Premiere Elements 7 (Amazon may have some listed). You could do a Google Search for
    Premiere Elements 7 purchasing.
    If you purchased the product direct from Adobe, you "should" be able to obtain new installation files. Have you gone to the Adobe
    web site http://www. adobe.com, signed in, and, in the Search field, typed My Orders? Then you would follow My Orders to your orders where
    you should be able to pick out the order involved and download new Premiere Elements 7 installation files from that order. Did you explore that?
    Is it possible that the software can still be found at your location? Perhaps the bottom of a child's toy box?
    Please update us on any break troughs.
    Thank you.

  • Any better text presets available for Premiere Elements

    Hi all,
    I tried doing a google search and a forum search and came up empty. The presets that come with elements are nice, but really basic when compared to the competition (corel for example). I was wondering if there are more presets available from adobe, fellow forum members, or freeware websites. Any one else have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply!
    I'd like the letters to "explode" away. As in each letter individually flies into the screen as if there was an explosion behind it.
    I'd also like the letters to roll in on screen then roll out.
    It would be super nice if there was a true way to edit the text. Heck there might even be and I'm just missing it.
    It would be nice if there was a section on adobe's website that offered downloadable text animation presets, audio, and video effects. I see a lot for photoshop elements but none for premiere elements (unless I happen to be looking in the wrong place).
