Can Premiere Elements NOT re-encode a video file

I want to take 200 HD camcorder files and put them on a Blu-ray disc with a basic menu structure.
I know Premiere Elements can do the menu structure. My question: Is it able to use the video files without re-encoding them? (The source files are 1280x720, H.264/AVC, 29.97fps.) I can't test this using the trial version because it watermarks the video.
If PE can't do it, am I overlooking some simple way of doing Blu-ray menus using the Creative Suite products? I have used Premiere Pro and Encore to author BDs, but that involved setting up every element of the menu structure by hand.

Although I cannot give you first hand workings of Premiere Pro CC because I do not use the program (I am strictly an Elements Windows user),
I offer the following Adobe documentation that I found online for Premiere Pro CC features that you seek and that Premiere Elements does not have.

Premiere Elements 9 no longer supports video files from Nokia Lumia 920 (it used to do)!

I've edited many videos from the same phone (.mp4) with the same software before (last time was 8 months ago). Now the software claims that the "file format is not supported or the required codec is not installed". How can it be? I haven't uninstalled or installed any codecs. The phone is the same. I can still open the old projects on Premiere Elements. I need to get this fixed so I can edit my videos!

nome2014
In the case that you are presenting, are you importing new Nokia video into a new project? You say that you can open old projects in Premiere Elements. Do the old projects contain Nokia video from the same camera? If so, open one of the old projects and try to import the new Nokia video into that old project. Imports or not?
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9 running on? Are you running the program as the 9.0.1 Update? If not, please do so either
a. from Help Menu/Update in the opened project
or
b. from the 9.0.1 Update downloaded from Adobe online (Premiere Elements closed during download and installation).
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4929
I have just downloaded a sample from your Nokia Lumia 920 (1920 x 1080 @ 30 frames per second* AVCHD.mp4) and had no problems importing it into a new Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project set with the project preset of NTSC DSLR 1080p DSLR 1080p30.
*Potential issues....
the Nokia video comes with a variable frame rate, in my case, 4.201 to 30.090, showing a value of 29.272. Premiere Elements (any version) is known to have issue with cell phone video recorded with a variable frame rate. The problem can manifest itself as audio out of sync or just not being able to import the video at all. Remedy...take the video into HandBrake and convert the variable to a constant frame rate.
http://handbrake.fr/
Do you need a step by step how to on that? If so, we can supply one.
From what I have read, the Nokia can record with AVCHD video compression as well as MPEG-4. Both have a .mp4 file extension. Is what you used before the same video codec as you are using now? Please check the camera settings.
Please review and consider. You can post a sample of your problem video here as a Dropbox link, and I will road test it in my Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 that is working with a sample download from your brand/model cell phone.
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thanks.

Premiere is not reading my .mpg video files

I am trying to import .mpg files from my camera but it gives me the following error message:
unsupported format or damaged file.
How do I get those files into Premiere CS4 for editing? Its for a school project and I don't have much time.

First, use G-Spot to find out what CODEC is used in your .MPG files. It will tell you the name. Chances are good that you just do not have what is required, installed. Use the name that G-Spot gives you to locate what you need on the Internet. That should help you, though even with the proper CODEC, you might have more obstacles ahead. Still, you will have a start.
I'll bet that you have an MJPEG file and need either the Morgan, or the MainConcept MJPEG CODEC. Until we know, however, we're only guessing.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere elements 12: how 2 burn video with menu on avchd disk with 1280x720

Hi, I have a source HD video (from TV) in resolution 1280x720/50. In export presets for avchd disk I only can find presets for 1440x1080 and 1920x1080. I'd like to export this video with menus in 1280x720 which is original resolution to AVCHD disk.
How to handle?
Regards, Juergen

Juegen
No version of Premiere Elements lets you produce a DVD disc with or without menus with AVCHD format of 1280 x 720 at 50 progressive frames per second.
The burn to disc, DVD, AVCHD, and Blu-ray are offered as you found them.
You could burn your Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content to a file AVCHD.mp4 (720p50) via Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = MP4 - HD 720p50. And, then burn that file to a DVD disc as data disc if the disc capacity allowed. But you would not have any menus. Disc menus are offered only for burn to disc/burn to folder. And, important, stop markers do not function at playback of the Premiere Elements (any version) AVCHD DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.
Please let us know if you need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

Premiere Elements 7 won't render video

I cannot get Premiere Elements to finish rendering my video in AVI format. I have tried multiple codecs. I have done it on 2 computers with 4 gigs or RAM, and dual core processors made in the last 2-3 years. One had Windows 7 and one had Windows Vista. They both get to about 70-90% and then stop. Windows Task Manager shows no CPU usage when this happens. I usually give it 10-15 minutes and if no activity happens I kill it. Is it normal for it to just hang on a random spot like this? Maybe I need to give it more time, but it sure seems like it has stopped responding.
What can I do to fix this? I could always try another format, but why won't this work?

Video is all local. I have copied the project folder and all video to the new computer and then pointed everything to the right paths. The reason I had to do this is because it wouldn't render on the original computer. The only computer that can render it is my work computer that has Windows 7, a core 2 duo and 6 gigs of RAM.
I moved it to my wife's laptop this morning using the same method that allowed me to render it at work. I previewed the whole video. It ran through from beginning to end without a problem. All scenes, music, transitions were there. So, moving the project worked. Again, all video was local.
As far as "codec", I used the wrong term. I think "encoder" is what I am changing. I pick the format, then click settings, and change the drop down to different AVI Encoders. I only started changing this after my initial attempts to render failed, so I tried the defaults first. In fact, I have tried the default settings no less than 3 times. I also tried QuickTime H.264 and it had they actually failed with error messages that basically said "An Error Occurred" and that's it.
Below are screens of the problem when rendering AVI showing the rendering has stopped. I also have uploaded my timeline.

How to change \Adobe\Premiere Elements\12.0\Encoded Files location to another drive?

Hello. I am using Premiere Elements 12. I am not able to burn blueray disk because I have insufficient disk space. I am using SSD drive so I need to move Adobe\Premiere Elements\12.0\Encoded Files location to another drive. How can I do this?

tolppa
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on? For now, assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit....
In the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Expert workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disc and set the location for the category
named Disc Encoding.
Please let us know if that works for you.
Thank you.

Can Premiere Elements 7 be split onto 2 LCDs?

Hello,
1. Can Premiere Elements 7 workspace, etc be divided between 2 LCD displays?
2. Is GeForce such as GTS 250, or Quadro such as NVS or 1700, best or adequate for PE7?
Thanks.

Hello Hunt,
Thanks for the info. You used the word “overkill.” I am unsure if my ‘puter configuration is rife with overkill for PE7. Can you or Steve Grisetti or anyone who considers themselves pretty knowledgeable/experienced critique my ‘puter choice before I buy?
I used Videoguys.com to figure my needs basically. Then at hp.com, I selected an HP desktop using their customizing tool thinking that that should avoid any compatibility problems (right?). I don’t want to crap shoot building a system myself. Thus, I chose the Pavilion Elite e9150t for exclusive use of the PE7 with the following configuration:
Vista Business 64, SP1
Intel Core i7-975, 3.33GHz, (1MB L2 + 8MB L3 w/QPI - unimportant for NLE?)
6x2GB DDR3, 1066MHz SDRAM
2x500GB RAID 0, 7200 SATA
1GB nVidia GeForce GTS 250 (at the performance level I chose from Videoguys’ chart, Videoguys recommended Quadro over GeForce, Quadro not offered by HP with this model) http://www.videoguys.com/Guide/E/Videoguys+System+recommendations+for+Video+Editing/0x4aebb06ba071d2b 6a2cd784ce243a6c6.aspx
Blu-ray writer, Lightscribe SuperMulti DVD burner
Integrated 7.1 sound (no other option allowed with the GeForce graphics card selected)
2xHP 21.5” 2159m, 1920x1080p, 3000:1, 3ms (oddly, the tool wouldn’t allow me to choose more than 1 monitor). http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store &category=desktops&a1=Category&v1=Performance+and+entertainment&series_name=e9150t_series
I wonder if it would be wise to select the $220 option for HP to install everything in my home office, including PE7 - based on all the installation/setup trouble I’ve seen on these forums? Many people must be wasting exorbitant amounts of time on this, some possibly rendering their software and/or hardware unuseable?
Thanks.

Premiere Elements not working

When starting, it reports Organiser Database missing or corrupt. When trying to create a new database, Adobe crashes and ends.
Any suggestions?

Hi AT,
You mentioning the psa.prf file helped me in googling the steps you mentioned for other users on the forum, so thanks for that.
Also your direct download link was helpful, as the package is not able to update from the help/update function.
Any idea why the update functionality is not working properly?
I still need another update for camera raw, for both photoshop and premiere. I found links for direct dowloads for versions 6.5 and 6.6. Also the direct links end in a crash, see attachment.
Do you have suggestions?
Regards,
Henk

Great news. Great job in working through the details to get to the solution.
I was waiting for more information from you so that I could give you version specific information on the how to.
But you seemed to have found the paths needed without supplemental instructions.
The two major troubleshooting tools that I would use when the Elements Organizer is involved
a. delete the psa.prf file
and/or
b. create a new catalog.
Best wishes as you move forward in your Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 projects.
By the way, if you are not working from the 9.0.1 Update, good idea to do that.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4929
You can do that update with the program closed....do not bother with Help Menu/Update for this update. Use the link instead.

Can Premiere Elements 12 Burn to a RW Disc?

Is Premiere Elements 12 capable of using a DVD+RW? Despite setting the DVD Player on the iMac to NOT play a DVD when inserted, whenever I insert a DVD+RW to have Premiere burn a DVD the DVD player starts and the burn always fails. I can use a never written to DVD+RW and can do ONE burn to it but then any other attempt fails. I used to use Pinnacle Studio on a Windows machine and I used RW discs multiple times until I had a version I wanted for a final burn to a DVD+R. I am getting very frustrated with running Premiere Elements 12 on an iMac. I don't know who to blame - Apple or Adobe.

Rickster213
Thanks for your results.
When you got the device error at the end of the burn to as you described in your latest post, did you check the disc to determine if it had been written to completely in spite of the device error which you probably responded to with a Cancel?
I was going to do some troubleshooting on this player opening when a burn to is initiated with a DVD-RW and ran into a curious situation.
My DVD-RW coupled with the burn to disc were not interfered with by the player opening. But, if I used Blu-ray BD-RE coupled with burn to disc, there was my Cyberlink player popping up unwanted. My remedy that works consistently is quickly to click on the player close button, and then the burn to goes to completion successfully.
Is it possible for you to get some DVD-RW discs to compare to the DVD+RW?
It does not seem that this is a matter of Premiere Elements not being compatible with DVD+RW since you can burn to that type of disc provided the disc is a new blank desk. I do not have access to a Mac computer to dig into this deeper. But, we would be very interested to learn of your further progress in this matter.
Do you have access to Apple Support for its point of view on setting of Mac AutoPlay?

Can Premiere Elements read .vob files?

I have some .vob files that I generated from an old VHS tape. I want to convert them to mpg or some other format so I can edit them and post them on the web. Can Premiere Elements do this?
Thanks!

If you used a VHS/DVD deck, you may have an issue with the first VOB, because it will also contain Menus and navigation instructions, plus the first part of the MPEG-2 AV file. This ARTICLE will give you some background. With a 100% DVD-compliant (very important) VOB, PrE from at least version 4 up to version 8, will Import those, with few issues. Unfortunately, most VHS/DVD decks do not create 100% DVD-compliant discs, due to how they handle the Menus and navigation. This then becomes a YMMV situation.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I get premiere elements 13 to read the video of my .mov files?

I am working on a PC. How do I get premiere elements 13 to read the video of my .mov files? I hear the audio but don't see any video.Thank you.

phyllism
Thanks for the reply. Glad that QuickTime install resolved the Premiere Elements 13/13.1 video playback problem.
When you double click any of the thumbnails for your .mov file in the Elements Organizer 13/13.1, does the Elements Organizer 13/13.1's player open to play back the .mov file contents for both video and audio?
You wrote
in the browser, the preview is an audio file, not a QT preview.
I was not sure if you were just going by what appears in the thumbnail, namely film strip with music note, or whether you had gone through the actual playback there. In the Apple Pro Res footage that I have, I get the same thumbnails that you are seeing for Windows Explorer. In Elements Organizer 13/13.1, the thumbnail for my Apple Pro Res file is just a film strip on gray.
I think what you are seeing is "normal" for the situation. But, please verify your observation with 13 updated to 13.1 if you have not done that already.
Thanks.

Premiere Elements 13 has stopped importing MOV. files. Quicktime is installed and working.

Nowconfused
I tried to get background information on the video from your camera but all I could find so far is that the camera is probably recording
1080p (1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 or 30 progressive frames per second. What are you (manually) or the program (automatically) setting as the project
preset to match the properties of your video source. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out.
How are you importing the files into the Premiere Elements 13 project - with the Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from a computer
hard drive location or are you making a USB connection between the camera and computer/Premiere Elements 13 and using Add Media/Video ..../Video Importer? Could you possibly have changed the way you are importing the files into a project?
Would it be possible for you to send a small sample of one of these .mov files that will no longer import? Maybe in a Dropbox link that you include in a reply?
Do you have any of the older files still available - the ones that did import at one time? If so, will they still import into a project or do they now not import?
More later.
Thanks for the follow ups.

I am not able to add video files to my itunes after installing itunes 10.7

I am not able to add video files to my itunes after installing itunes 10.7.0.21

I Have been using, Ipad for only around a month or so (Ipad 2), and it was only yesterday that i tried to use the Itunes. I first downloaded the latest itunes (10.7.0.21), and took backup of all my Ipad data.
After this, I wanted to add some video to my ipad, as it was essential to add the same to My itunes first, I roceeded to do just that. I went through this command {File - Add File to Library}, and then went on to select the Video file. There's just a flicker, and then nothing happens at all - the itune screen remains, and there is no error message too. Whereas, I can easily add Audio Files.
After this, I even downaload the latest Quick time (7.7.2), as I had read somewhere that the same is necessary. When I tried to open the Video file in Quick time, it did not open. After that I downloaded the codec DivX and DivX player. Though the Video plays in DivX, it refuses to open in Itune and does not play properly in Quicktime (slider moves, but sound and video is not there).
Frankly, I am utterly confused.
