Differences between adobe premiere elements 8 and adobe premiere pro cs4
I'm planning to download either adobe premiere elements 8 or adobe premiere pro cs4, but first would like to know their differences in regards to features that best suits me.
I'd recommend posting to the PrE forum, per John's suggestion. The reason for that is you will get more background on PrE there, and few users in the PrPro forum know much about PrE.
In very general terms, here are my observations:
1.) PrPro handles everything by hand, while PrE is a "big-button" program, and much is done automatically, or semi-automatically.
2.) With that hand-work comes great power and PrPro offers so very much more, than does PrE.
3.) Export options are much broader in PrPro.
4.) PrE offers a semi-automatic, limited DVD/BD authoring function, while PrPro comes with Encore, a very versatile full-featured authoring program. Little in Encore is done automatically, but one has so much more control over the Project.
5.) PrPro allows one to edit with Sequences, which can have different types of source footage, one for each Sequence. In PrE, one can only use one type of source footage, or they have to manipulate one, and have the Project set to the other.
If one wants things simple and easy, PrE is the choice, as it has a lot of Presets and does a lot of work behind the scenes, and is a complete package. If one wants control, and does not mind doing things by hand, and using Encore for authoring, then PrPro will allow that control and provide much more power.
Good luck,
Hunt

Background Task on Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer "hangs"
I recently upgraded my software from Elements 10 to Elements 12 and had a bit of trouble. Apparently both 10 and 12 have a way of launching an executable in the background which tends to get "stuck" on my system. I believe the problem may be related to the network configuration and software mix I live with, but I need to confirm my suspecions and find a way to control the problem. Here is what I know... I have always experienced a lot of problems using Elements with my NAS device which is a 1TB usb 2.0 connected disk system attached to my Linksys E3000 Router. When I got the router, the BIOS software did not correctly support NTFS file systems, but subsequent updates eventually made this possible if you formatted the removable drive on a system in NTFS, you could then hang it on the router and "see" the contents, serve them via Windows Media Player, or iTunes, etc., etc. from a computer atteched to the network, or via wirless directly off the router. I archived all my photos out on this file system and have successfully indexed it for use with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer, but... When I went to install Elements 12 software I tried to install it without first removing Elements 10, and on a system which had run Elements 10 since the last full reoboot. During the install of 12 under "shared services install" the installation process "Hung" on a background task with a name like "AdobeElementsAnalyzer.exe" which only shows up in Windows 7 task manager as a running process, not as a full program, but because the file was locked by the system, the install hung. I eventually figured out that I needed to start the install of Elements 12 software immediately after having rebooted so that this program was not present in the background, and succeeded in completing an install of Elements 12 on my Windows 7 X64 system. This system required a "special" software download for Premiere Elements, but not for Photoshop Elements which is only apparently avaliable under 32bit emulation mode. I finally got the "shared components" portion of the X64 Premiere Elements to complete an install, and then set about verifying the onversion/upgrade of the indexes to my photos and video stored out on the NAS. The same rogue task which prevented me from doing the install showed up agian, taking all the system resources away from my dual processor Intel chip and refusing to let go. I was forced to terminate it from the task manager. I strongly suspect that my "issues" are in part due to the extrordinary network latency imposed by the drive connection I'm using to index my photos and videos, and I'm looking for a better approach to using the editors against my master catalog of files, as well as figruing out just what I need to do to insure that all the files I have stored on the drive are accessible by the organizer when I need to pull a copy to work on.
A complication is that I have two "legacy" Windows XP systems on my network, a reasonably fast Windows Vista Business desktop, and the Windows 7 X64 processor system which is the most powerful system I have. The Windows file security enhancements to NTFS changed from XP, to Vista, to Windows 7, so files which get saved to the NAS disk inherit a variety of different levels of security under windows. I have occasionally gone to one of my old XP boxes and "wiped" the security settings by resetting everything via Windows XP. Because the NAS is so slow, this process can take several hours and must not be interrupted by attempts to do anything affecting the NAS by any of my other networked computers. To avoid problems with my photo archive, it makes sense to me to do all my editing on copies which have been extracted from the NAS archive and stored on the C: drive (boot drive) of my Win X64 system.
What I seriously need to know is this: When/If I define a "watched" portion of my file system, rather than taking the time to manually import every little change to my photo archives, can I expect the Photoshop Elements Organizer to work properly as long as everything stored on the NAS is stored via the same system which runs Elements with the same active "user" in control so that all the windows 7 file security settings putting stuff on the mapped NAS drive remain properly secured under Win 7 X64? Frankly I don't care if the files appear "read only" to every other system and identity on my network, but I do need to be able to "see" them. I have been able to view slide shows and movies stored on the NAS via both my networked iPad, my Apple TV, and using Samsung's funky android and Windows compatible software. Frankly, I doubt that Microsoft or Apple has full understanding and control of the environment where there is no host "server" other than the eprom based stuff my Linksys E3000 loads to emulate early Windows Media Management architecture, but I mange to get it to work as long as I don't try anything sophisticated with the file permissions. As a fall back, can I expect individual "imported" bits out on the NAS to remain stable if indexed and used only by the Elements Organizer running on my Win 7 X64 system?
I am seriously considering converting an old WinXP desktop into a UNIX box which could be configured as a "Server" for everything stored on the NAS and be done with my problems in return for the power required to run the server all the time so stuff is there when I need it. Any recommendations?
Message was edited by: [email protected]Adobe hasn't said whether it officially supports PSE 7 on Windows 7. But reports are starting to trickle in that PSE 7 works fine on Windows 7 for most people, though a couple people have reported crashes. My PSE 7 seems to work fine, though I primarily use PSE 8 now. This is all very preliminary, and we'll learn more as more people post here.

I use Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Bridge. Do these come in a package together?
I'm going to update my current set up. I use Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Bridge. Do these come in a package together? What would be the best way to go about this upgrade?
Bridge comes with Photoshop but not with Elements.

So she can use at home to learn ?
I am using Ver 12 and my non profit has multiple licenses Premiere Pro CC
The Seller said " I bought it ( Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements ) and upgraded to the next version. It was installed once so it is like new. "
Any problems in transferring both older licenses to my daughter ?It is not clear to me what the situation is as far as who owns what, but if the older versions were used to purchase upgrades to the newer versions then whoever owns the newer versions probably doesn't want to give up the licenses to the older versions because they will lose the ability to reinstall if they no longer own the versions that qualified them for the upgrade.
As far as transferring licenses goes, see the following:

Sharing files between Adobe Premiere Elements and Adobe Photoshop Elements
This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WS72D069B5-1663-44a9-BB4E-8182DB2EE6C6. html

I suspect that this latest set of details is clouding the way to success.
Typically we would be looking at integrated Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements set. I thought that we were working with Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 which would considered an integrated set.
Let approach this from a different angle.
Have you any idea what version of Premiere Elements your project.prel came from? Reflecting back, the concept of integrated combos of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements did not appear until the combo of Photoshop Elements 5 and Premiere Elements 3.0/3.0.2. Along with that came the perk of the Premiere Elements' Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow to do just that for the slideshow that it received from the Photoshop Elements side.
Unless you have additional details that would support us getting to the goal, I think that the path of least resistance might be:
a. if you can open the project.prel in question in Premiere Elements 10, then do so.
b. After you have the slideshow on the Timeline, then use the Split Clip (Scissors Tool) to cut the slideshow at the spots where you want to insert additional pictures. You may have to add back transitions and such.
The Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow would have been perfect for you to make your edits of the slideshow in Premiere Elements. But that command is only available in Premiere Elements under certain condition:
a. You must be dealing with integrated combos of the programs, example, 5/3, 6/4, 7/7, 8/8, 9/9, 10/10, 11/11. There are a few loopholes in all that but I do not see them helping us at this time.
b. You would have had to Output the Photoshop Elements to Premiere Elements with the Photoshop Elements Slideshow Editor "Send to Premiere Elements or Edit with Premiere Elements Editor".
Bottom line: if your task is going to involve more than the version 8 combo, then I think it best to try to open the project.prel that you have and break it apart yourself with the Split Clip Tool of Premiere Elements.
And, did you say if this project.prel does open in Premiere Elements 10 without any missing media (Media Offline) messages?
We will be watching for further information and developments. Please let me know if I have misinterpreted any of your information.
Thanks.

Differences between Photoshop CS2, Elements and illustrator?
I've been using iphoto which i love. but see it as a final stage for editing my photos.
im thinking about getting one of the photoshops but dont know which one. this is where i ask what are the differences of CS2, elements and illustrator. Also, what do they each do?
I got illustrator for a little bit but didnt know how to use it. i found it really annoying and got rid of it.
On my old windows laptop would use photoshop 7.0 or whatever it was. i knew how to do the basics but was no expert on it.As Terence suggested PSE 4 is, IMO, the way to go. Although I use PS CS3 it's just too pricey for the average consumer and PSE4 can do it all except for converting to CMYK for printing on high-end printers. Here's an advanced example of what you can do with PSE4.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -

Is there a difference between the macbook air and the macbook pro?
i know the specs but are there some differences where you can tell me about??
The differences are pretty obvious if you've read the technical specifications comparison. Which MacBook Pro are you comparing the MacBook Air against? There are additional differences if you're comparing between 13, 15 or 17" models.
The most obvious differences:
Optical Drive
Ethernet port
FireWire port
i5/i7 CPU architecture
Dedicated GPU (15 & 17 MBP)
RAM and HDD upgradeability

Differences Between Acrobat XI Standard and Acrobat XI Pro PDF File Reduction Capabilities
Hi all, I am looking into purchasing Acrobat XI but not sure which version I should get. I have worked with Acrobat 8 Standard and remembered that I cannot reduce PDF size by clicking Reduce File Size under Document if the PDF contains images so I am looking to upgrade. I have tried Acrobat XI Pro Trial version and messed around with Save As Other >> Reduced File PDF to reduce my PDF files and that seemed to work well. I've read that in Acrobat XI Standard, one can reduce PDF files by using Save As >> Reduce File and the resulting PDF file will be similar in size to the PDF file that had been reduced by the PRO version. Can someone please confirm this, thanks in advance.
Hi sraja,
Yes, that option is available in both the Acrobat Pro and Standard versions, and the results will be similar, if not the same. Acrobat Pro offers additional optimizing capability, as described here: Acrobat Help | Optimizing PDFs.
I hope that helps!
Best,

Changing default from Adobe photoshop elements to Adobe reader
I use both Adobe Photoshop elements and Adobe Reader 8. Whenever I open a PDF document it defaults to Adobe Photoshop Elements. How do I get it to default to Adobe Reader 8? Thanks.
If you problem is that, when you double click on the icon of a PDF file, it is opened by Photoshop Elements and not by Reader, you have a file associations problem. See this FAQ:

I have Adobe Premiere Elements and it will not let me export?
I have Adobe Premiere Elements and it will not let me export? It also will not let me login. It says photoshop.com is temporarily unaivalable and to check my network settings. Error 400. Can anyone help me? I need to export this video as soon as possible.
You don't say which version of Premiere Elements you're using, but Photoshop.com was discontinued last year, so you won't be able to log into it.
As for exporting -- it's hard to give you specific information without knowing which version of the software you're using and on what operating system but -- which Share or Publish & Share option are you using and what is happening when you use it? -
