Can you change Premiere Elements 13 timeline to act like Premiere Pro CS4?

Hi there,
I recently started using Premiere Elements 13 after previously having used Premiere Pro CS4 (both mac versions if that makes a difference). All is great but I have encountered one major difference which makes Elements 13 a bit of a pain and was wondering if it was changeable. Basically, when you alter the length of a clip that's touching up against another one they remain stuck together and everything else in the timeline shifts up accordingly. In Premiere Pro CS4 if you changed the length of a clip joined to another (where the two join) it would simply create a gap. Frankly, I find the latter a much better way of working. What I tend to use Premiere for on the whole is adding still images to a voice track rather than working with video clips with linked audio. I know this isn't exactly what Premiere is designed for but it worked so much better in CS4 and wondered if you could tweak Premiere Elements 13 to behave a bit more like CS4.
Any help much appreciated!

Hold down the Ctrl key as you shorten the duration of a clip using the mouse cursor. That should give you the gap that you seek. That works for Premiere Elements Windows. (I am strictly an Elements Windows user.)
With your Premiere Elements Mac computer, try holding down the Command key as you shorten the duration of a clip using the mouse cursor.
Please let us know if that worked for you.
Thank you.

  • Can I import a menu from Premiere elements 7(the Popcorn menu) into Encore CS4?

    Can I import a menu from Premiere elements 7(the Popcorn menu) into Encore CS4?
    If so how do I accomplish this act?
    Are their additional menus available for Encore CS4?

    The Menus in PrE are in Menu Sets. Each set is a Main Menu and a Scene Selection Menu. As PrE does the authoring semi-automatically, there are many "extras" in those PSD's, in the Button Layer Sets. All you have to do is make a Copy of your two Menus into a separate folder, so that you do not worry about messing up your Menu Sets in PrE. I'd do this in a new sub-folder in the Encore Library folder hierarchy. Then, Open each of these two Menus in PS. Go in and clean out all of the other languages for the Text and Button Text. Match the Layer Set/Button Layer Set names to those naming conventions in the Encore Library Menus, as you will not be getting any semi-automation. Where you do not need, say a Next Button, just eliminate that Button's Layer Set. Remember, PrE will do this semi-automatically, plus will give you the number of Scene Selection Menus, that your Project calls for - Encore will not. You must count the Scenes, divide by the number of Buttons on that Scene Selection Menu, and do Copies of that Menu, to accommodate what you require.
    As for Encore, it comes with a full compliment of Menus, Buttons, and other Assets, like EM files (Templates), with Motion and Audio Assets. All can be completely customized in PS. Note: in PSElements, I do not believe that you can create Layer Sets, so that will be a limitation. The full PS has no limitations, with the single exception that to change Button Sub-picture Highlight colors, this must be done in Encore's Menu Editor, unless it's been added to PS CS5.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - remember, work on Copies of the two Menus in the PrE Menu Set, and NOT on the originals, or you will be doing a Repair Install to get those back.

  • Can you change the worktop color in version 9?

    Hi! 
    I find it very difficult to read the text captions on the black face of the worktop.  How can you change or customize to something that's easier on the eyes?  I have managed to change the workspace panel color but can't figure out how to change that really difficult black interface.  I am using elements 9 having upgraded from 5 where the workspace was pleasantly light grey.  A solution would be so much appreciated.  Thanks!

    No, unfortunately, that's just the way it is in PSE 9.

      It‘s been part of recent versions, perhaps from PSE8 onward; I‘m not exactly sure. The software activates automatically upon installation. If you ever change computers and already have two activations simply open the Editor on the old machine and on the top menu click help à deactivate

    Can you change the legth of time (or number of rings) it takes for on iphone 4 to time out making an outgonig call?
    Mostly it's to call in for radio contests. The Iphone is really good at making a quick call, but it seems to timeout after 15-20 rings. I realise this is a small thing, but free tickets is free tickets.
    Most commenst I see is abotu incoling calls, not outging.
    Thanks.

    No. You can't do this with any phone.

  • How many motions tweens can you have on a timeline?

    I'm a college student in Seattle.  We just had our mid-terms in Flash CS5.  One of the really simple questions was "How many motion tweens can you have on a timeline."  Yup.  The answer is one...... or is it?  I had a long discussion with my tutor (who is the greatest tutor in the world) and he wanted to think about it. I said to him that I thought that one motion tween was wrong because you can click on an object in the timeline, make it a motion tween, and double click it and make several motion tweens.  So, essentially, you can have more than one motion tween on a timeline.  Is anyone able to advise me because this is all about grades!

    You can have quite a few motion tweens on a timeline.  You can even have them happening simultaneously (I don't know of a specific limit), as long as they are all on their own layers.  Though the more you add simultaneously the more they can weigh down the speed of things running.
    If you need to prove this to someone, the easiest way is to create it and demonstrate it.  But you may want to check the exact wording of the question... it would not be beyond an examiner to throw a trick question in.

  • Can you change the DEFAULT VIEW of a published iCal to MONTH VIEW?

    Can you change the DEFAULT VIEW of a published iCal to MONTH VIEW? I use this for a vacation rental and people never ever ever ever need to see anything but the MONTH VIEW. I hate having to tell them to click MONTH view at the top of the page. Is there a way to force it to always appear in MONTH? Thanks!

    ddotcom,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Unfortunately no, but if they are repeat viewers why not tell them to change their view to "Monthly" using the "Preferences" button on that page?

        DIVAB71,
    Great question. The line access fees for the account are a set amount and can not be changed unless you are going from a basic to a smartphone or vice versa. If you are wondering about adding the month to month discount if you are out of contract Ann154 has provided great information on how to access and add the feature.
