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

Can QuickTime for Windows read .vob files?

Can QuickTime for Windows read .vob files so I can edit them? I have some .vob files that were recorded from old VHS tapes and want to share the content with others. Can I read in the .vob into QuickTime, edit them, and then save them as mpeg or wmv movies?
Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
There are several options. I'll just post what works for me.
Perian is a small component for Quicktime Player (and other apps that use QT) this adds many more codecs that Quicktime PLayer can play.
http://perian.org/
Movist is a player, much more capable than QT (play lists, remember last played file, more control for sub titles etc) It can play all QT formats using Quicktime's codecs including formats when Perian is installed , but also uses FFmpeg to decode nearly anything you can throw at it.

VLC is another player. Not as elegant as Movist, also play nearly anything you throw at it.

Can I play adobe premiere elements media cache files (original files lost)

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 9 and have lost a number of the video original files and updated video files.
However, I noticed that I have numerous adobe premiere elements media cache files (I dont think I ever cleared out the cache) - are these playable or am I able to use these to re-create the originals / make replacement videos.

OK, thanks for your prompt reply. I thought I could access them in some way to either view or re-edit.
I might as well delete them, if they no longer have a use.

Can Premier Elements Import Subtitle files?

Can Premier Elements Import Subtitle files in one of the following formats (DFXP, SBV, SRT, SSI, TXT, VTT)?
Thank you,

No. Premiere Elements does not support subtitles. If you want subtitles you can workaround it by having two versions of your video, one with text added to the video track and one without - but you wouldn't be able to toggle between them during playback.
Cheers,
Neale

Premiere Elements 9: .AVI file - no sound

I am using Premiere Elements 9, video files imported using the import function in Adobe Organizer from an Insignia NS-DV1080P digital video camera. File format is .AVI.
The videos play fine from the organizer and other video players, however when I edit the files with Premiere Elements 9 the audio is all but lost. There is an audio track in Premiere but the sound is so quiet as to be nearly gone. Increasing the audio using the volume controls makes no difference. Video is also very jumpy.
I have used different presets, but have not found any difference between the various settings.
System info:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
AMD 2.60 Ghz Processor
6GB RAM
Has anyone come across this problem, or do you have any idea how to fix it?

Welcome to the forum.
AVI is but a wrapper, and can contain a lot of different "stuff," both Audio and Video. This ARTICLE will give you some background, and some tips on finding out what is inside the AVI files.
Some cameras also record a mono signal, and this can often lead to very low dB levels in PrE/PrPro. Often, just doing either a Fill Right, or Fill Left will get the levels up to adequate. In some cases, one would need to duplicate the mono file and align it with the original. I would Pan one Left and one Right. The mix-down will be 2-channel anyway.
Also, you can increase the Gain of the Clips, by Rt-clicking and choosing Audio Gain. Just Click-drag on the 0.0 to increase.
There are other possibilities, but where you seem to be observing this in your workflow, I feel that they are unlikely candidates. We can address them, should the above not help out.
Good luck,

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.

Where is button to accept end user agreement so I can download or read online file. mac osx reader XI

where is button to accept end user agreement so I can download or read online file. mac osx reader XI
every time i click on a file to downloac
i get a reader message Before viewing PDF ... you must launch adobe reader and then accept the End User License Agreement. Ive searched every part of the menu for this and cant fine it

Ok, so the Reader app works. Fine, but why did you say ",the reader won't open any more", that led us a confusing direction.
Ok, the problem is most likely caused because you downloaded Acrobat Pro, which takes over from Reader, then got rid of it. You now have part of Acrobat in Safari, not part of Adobe Reader.
There are two things to try to fix this. The first and easiest is to download and install Adobe Reader again. That should puts its stuff back in Safari with a bit of luck.
Important note for others following this thread. Downloading Adobe Reader is not going to help you if you have not understood and followed the instructions to "launch" Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat). Make sure you understand what "launch" means before downloading anything again.

Can Premiere Elements be used on an animated gif file?

I am considering purchasing Premiere Elements but I need to know if one can use it to add effects to an animated gif file.
For example, in Photoshop Elements one can add certain effects to a gif image, such as giving it certain textures or filters.
Can one do the same kind of thing in Premiere Elements and if so can it be done to an animated gif file?
Maybe a better way to ask this question is: can you import an animated gif file into Premiere Elements and then manipulate it? Run filters, etc.
Thanks for your help.

If you load your GIF into Premiere Elements 10, edit it, then share to an AVI file, you can then import the AVI file into GIF Movie Gear by Gamani, which will then create an animated GIF. I learned about this utility from a Microsoft tutorial on creating icons for Windows XP.
http://www.gamani.com/product_icon.htm
If you use Firefox and get redirected, try using Internet Explorer instead.
After the trial period is over, it's $29.95US for 4 licences.
When you share to an AVI file, you will want to select the Microsoft AVI item from the list, then click the advanced button to open up the dialog where you will need to select a codec and enter the frame size and frame rate. The codec will have to be one that GIF Movie Gear likes, so there may be some trial and error needed to get a good codec. I shared to an AVI after picking Xvid for the codec, which GIF Movie Gear imported.

Premiere Elements 8 - No files will open / Can't make new documents

I have a Dell Studio 1745, and have had the Premiere Elements 8 package for a while, and although I've had problems in the past with different things (such as no audio or crashes) I have never had a problem with being able to open anything.
Within the last 4 months I have not been able to open any file or create a new one. I get the whole backing screen with the menu bar, but whenever I try to open a file or do a new one, nothing happens.
I have tried looking on the online support but it's like a maze, and can't seem to get anywhere.
I would really appreciate it if someone were able to help me with this or knew what I could do.
Thanks,
Tom

As it says at the top of the forum, we'll need lots more information in order to be able to help.
How fast is your processor and how much RAM do you have? How much free, clean, freshly defragmented space is on your C drive? When did you last run a program like Advanced System Care to clean and tune your computer? http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html
A lack of hard drive space is the most common reason the program can't open. You need at least 20 gigabytes of free, clean, defragmented space in order for the program to fully launch.
Have you manually gone to Windows Update to ensure you have even the non-critical updates? Have you ensured you have the latest version of Quicktime from Apple.com?
Are your project files and media on your C drive or on a second or external hard drive?
Does holding down the left side Ctrl+Alt+Shift buttons as you launch the program help?
Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the program?

Can Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 open Adobe Premiere Elements 9 project files?

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.

Can Adobe Premiere Elements accept asf files?

I'm having trouble importing .asf video files into APE. Is this an unacceptable file format?

bang surgical
Thank you. That is good news of sorts.
MotionJPEG video compression is often problematic for Premiere Elements (any version).
When it does present a problem, there are several popular remedies
a. If video was recorded with camera, then determine if there is a utility that came with the camera
and install it to get the required codec.
b. Download and install a MotionJPEG codec. The Morgan MotionJPEG codec has been used
successfully by many over the years. Sources of MotionJPEG may be available online.
Morgan Multimedia - News
c. Conversion of the MotionJPEG.asp to another format. You might want to start with
HandBrake
http://handbrake.fr/
in order to obtain a H.264.mp4 file.
Please review and consider the above and then we can try to sort out which would be best for your
projects.
Thank you.

Premiere elements reads my SD Card but not the hard drive of my Canon Legria?

Kia Ora from New Zealand,
I am using Premiere elements 8.0 and a Canon Legria HF S10 on a pc with Windows XP Pro. I am trying to import HD footage directly into Premiere from my Camera hard drive. In Premiere when I try to "get media" the media on the camera's sd card appears and can be imported, but the cameras hard drive is not acknowledged - so I can't get the video off the cameras hard drive.
The format of the footage on the sd card is XP+ and the footage on my cameras hard drive is MXP. I have a work around where I dump the hard drive footage onto my pc then pull it into Premiere..but there is limitations with this (I cannot differentiate between takes and therefore see which clips to import). Can anybody shed some light on this for me? Should Premiere be able to locate my cameras hard drive?
Thanks Al

Thanks Steve,
I use the preset PAL AVCHD Full HD 1028 i25, Im using premiere elements 8.0.
The differentiate between takes thing is...I was hoping to see thumbnails of the video clips before importing them into Premiere (like the ones that show up from my sd card), so as to not import unnecessary footage. When pulling them from Get Media/From Files and Folders the files are just numbers, which means I have to delete all unwanted clips on the camcorder or know the names of them so as to not pull them onto the computer.
Eventually I will be exporting the projects in a number of different ways, mainly web video file sharing and DVD.
Ideally my computer will read the cameras hard drive, I am astonished it picks up the memory card that sits inside the cam without linking to the cams hard drive. Could this be about the quality of the footage (the SD card footage is in XP+ and the hard drive footage is MXP?

Can Pr Elements read H.264/MPEG-4 AVC ?

Premiere Elements 7 has been fine for my limited purposes until now, but I've recently started using wildlife cameras, which record video in the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec in an AVI wrapper. The resulting videos play perfectly well on Windows Media Player, and can be edited by Windows Movie Maker, but Premiere Elements 7 won't read them.
Is there a way I can persuade PrE7 to read this sort of video? If that's not an option, does anyone know if PrE12 can read them?

Blacknest
Thank you for the opportunity to take a look at your .avi files which both appear to have H.264 video compression and MPEG Audio (probably MP2) 2 channel. That video presented an atypical one for Premiere Elements in its 1280 x 720 @ 18.000 progressive frames per second. MediaInfo read the video compression as H.264 rather than the avc1 which it typically uses to represent AVCHD (MPEG2 AVC/H.264). We could dig deeper into any subtle differences here in the naming and other for H.264 versus AVCHD. But the best course of action comes from the great contribution of John T. Smith and your follow up on that to get your video into Premiere Elements.
I looked at changing the file extension from .avi to the types that I mentioned previously, including .mp4. All would not import into Premiere Elements. Premiere Elements did accept the .avi file, but only the audio was represented. I was able to convert your H.264.avi into H.264.mp4 using VLC Player converter component. That H.264.mp4 did import into Premiere Elements, but, although there was a video component represented, its thumbnail was distorted.
You did a great job with the Dropbox download setup.
Please update us on your progress with the Premiere Elements editing and export of your H.264.mp4 video now that you have gotten into a format that Premiere Elements will accept. From what you wrote, the video compression is supposed to be the same as the original. It is just the file extension that has been changed. Is that correct?
Continued success and congratulations to you and John T. Smith on a job well done.
