Editing in Instant Movie and Timeline issues

Hi, I'm new to Adobe and I am having a difficult time with Instant Movie. I am trying to edit video in Instant Movie. I have cut and pieced the videos I want to use and I am able to view it and it is what I want to put in the Instant Movie theme, but when I tried to choose Instant Movie and select this clips I have put together it is telling me I must have a video in the video 1 section. When I look at the timeline for the video I have , it starts with Video 2, I have tried to delete empty space but it doesn't move them, how can I move the videos I have down to start with video 1.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

One additional workaround would be to use an audio program, like Adobe Audition, or the freeware, Audacity, to convert to PCM/WAV stereo. Since PE cannot Export in DD 5.1 SS, unless one uses the Minnetonka SurCode stand-alone encoder (~US$600). Unfortunately, the plug-in version (~US$250) is not available for PE - only PrPro.

Document moves and authentication issues.

I'm using OS X 10.7.5. I'm trying to organize documents in Finder. Why must I authenticate for each document move to a folder?

Hello Bluemax22
If you are getting prompts to authorized moves, you could have issues with permissions to those items and folders. Check out the article below to troubleshooting further.

Trying to do netflix watch instantly movies and recieving error the silverlight plugin has crashed but I have already updated everything what do I do? I am on a dell laptop with windows 7 intel pentium inside.

There is nothing more to say

Someone recently noted a problem staying logged on the Huffington Post since it became connected with AOL. The workaround for that is to change your connection setting here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network
Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change.
Not sure whether Washington Post could be affected by that same setting.
In reviewing your extensions, I'm puzzled that you have both DoNotTrackMe and SavvyConnect. The first one seems to aggressively block certain communications with websites (potentially affecting functionality) while the second one seems to report on your browsing habits (they better pay well is all I can say). Have you tried disabling both of those to see whether that has any effect?

Is there any way to open an instant movie for editing once complete?

I need to correct a typo on the credits and I cannot find any instructions on how to open a completed file. Do I have to start over?

highaspiratitons
Glad the changing the Instant Movie Closing Credits text and leaving the Instant Movie intact worked. Great news.
However, I am fighting a losing battle trying the same approach for altering the duration of that Closing Title under the same circumstances. No breaking apart of the Instant Movie.... I can change this Closing Credits duration in Project Assets or the duration of Closing Credits dragged from Project Assets to the Timeline. But, when I break apart the Instant Movie, unlike the text changes that we did, the change in duration is not reflected in the Closing Credits file within Instant Movie. Still thinking about this one.
Now for what happened with regard to effects in your Instant Movie. I think that I will need more details on that to tackle it.
1. When are you adding these effects? I am assuming that you are doing this before you start the Instant Movie feature. So, after you start Instant Movie and you get the message about remove user applied effects, are you selecting Yes or No?
2. If you say No, your effects for a given component of the Instant Movie will remain, included with the effects that come with the Instant Movie. I am wondering if the following applies to your situation. Say you apply an effect to one photo at the beginning of the Timeline. No place else. After the Instant Movie is generated, you can see that same photo with effect repeated periodically in the course of the Instant Movie. It does not appear only once. Could you be seeing the repeats of your photo with effects repeated more than once?
I will think about this some more.

Best method to combine Instant Movie (Theme) with regular video?

I’m creating a video and I would like to use a theme for a slideshow, yet leave the rest of the video (first 16 minutes) alone. I currently have two separate projects, one with my regular video footage and one project with the instant movie theme. So, if there is a way to copy and paste one project into another that would be perfect, yet I have not seen that option. What is the best way to accomplish this? I was thinking I could export the instant movie and then add the media to my existing project, yet I’m not sure what format to use so I don’t lose quality. The video is AVCHD (1920 x 1024), and I would eventually like to burn everything to a Blue-ray disc when I get a burner, yet for now DVD will do. Thoughts?

I like the idea of doing everything in one project, yet I’m guessing I would have an issue with doing so since the video in the timeline has been edited and the video within the available media section is the raw video (I think that is correct). However, this should work great for the stills, yet I’m not sure about the video.
My main concern is torching the non-theme video by applying a theme…
To do what you are saying; would I simply select the images (hold down CTRL and select or smart tag them?) from the media selection screen within the interface and…?

Instant Movie Themes

Does anyone know where I can download new movie themes for Adobe Premier Elements 9? I keep typing this question into google, for this specific version, and answers for every version but this one keep coming up. Am I the only one that owns this version? I have several Instant movie themes for it already, the ones that came with it, but I am working on a project, and none of them are what I am looking for or needing, so I really need more options.

SaraNichole81
Have you downloaded all the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 content?

http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/10/pe-7-8-910-content-download.html
If so, then you probably have as much as is available. There were scattered reports on how to make one's own, but the bottom line (easy way) seems to be, if you want something different than what Adobe has provided, then you take Adobe's Instant Movie and customize it. After the Instant Movie is created, you can right click it on the Timeline and select Break Apart Instant Movie. Then do your editing of the components that went into the Instant Movie.

Portrait oriented photos are rotated in Instant Movies

When I create an Instant Movie in Premiere Elements 11 for Mac, any stills that are included that are shot in portrait orientation get rotated 90 degrees to the left and are diplayed on their sides during the movie. They display correctly in the organizer and when viewed in Preview, but the act of putting them in an Instant Movie flips them on their sides. I've looked through all the settings and preferences that I can find to look for a way to prevent this from happening, but I haven't found it. I can go into the timeline and then flip the photos back one at a time, but what a pain.

Columnar
What do your computer resources look like? I know you are running Premiere Elements 11 Mac, but how much installed and available RAM and free hard drive space?
and
What orientation are these images when viewed at their hard drive save location?
I am strictly an Elements Windows user, but basically Premiere Elements 11 Windows and Mac operate the same. There are differences.
For this test, I used Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit, dual core, 3.2 GHz, 8 GB installed RAM, about 6 GB RAM available, and about 1 TB free hard drive space.
I took 17 photos (sized 3000 x 4000 - 4000 x 3000 pixels) into a 1080i30 project and applied the Instant Movie Celebration. Ten of the 17 were portrait oriented 3000 pixels width and 4000 pixels height and 7 of the 17 were landscape oriented 4000 pixels width and 3000 pixels height. The photo orientation was not changed in the resulting Instant Movie. So, under those conditions I cannot invoke a basic flaw in Premiere Elements 11 Windows Instant Movie even when using pixels dimensions beyond the limits of the project settings.
Where does that leave us....to rule in or out....
1. Pixel Dimensions which are oversized for the project can cause problems even in Premiere Elements 11 depending on computer resources. As an experiment, could you resize one or twenty and see if that makes a difference in the portrait rotation even though I have no evidence for that being a factor in my Windows model today.
2. The Instant Movie and Premiere Elements media trace back to what is viewed at the hard drive save location for the photos. What does that look like?
3. I have no evidence that the 4:3 photos in a 16:9 project are at issue; neither 1 to 17 oversized for the project photos being the issue if all that is on that Timeline is combo of 3000 x 4000 and 4000 x 3000 photos. How did you make sure evaluation of the issue?
a. Did you take 20 of those 3000 x 4000 photos into a new project and apply the same Instant Movie to them and ended up with them all rotated? Or did you just remove 1 to 20 of them from the existing Timeline, leaving the landscape oriented ones and those .mov videos as is? Did you find any difference in this matter if your Timeline was without the video included?
Just some thoughts for now as I think about this some more.
Looking forward to your follow up.

Add On...What computer resources did you have for your Premiere Elements 7 where you seem to be saying that you used 4000 x 3000 - 3000 x 4000 photos under similar circumstances as now and had no problems. Assumed a Windows experience.
Add On...I did not see Nealeh post until after I had posted mine.

Elements 11 the instant movie "In Loving Memory" mixs up the Photo/movie clips that i put in. Can this be corrected?

Howardok
Premiere Elements 11 on what computer operating system?
You should be able to right click the finished Instant Movie on the Timeline and select "Break Apart Instant Movie" to do just that.
Then open all the tracks, expand the Timeline with the -+ slider above the Timeline, and edit your Instant Movie.
Please review and consider. If you have questions or need clarification on the above, please do not hesitate to ask, but supply more details.
Thank you.

Is there somewhere that I can buy additional instant movie themes for Adobe Premiere Elements 12?

Just wondering if there are any additional themes that are available to purchase and download for the program? Thank you.

LizzyLove
As to your thread question..not that I have ever run into. You can customize the Adobe Instant Movies by creating an Instant Movie and then using the Break Apart Instant Movie at the Timeline level to do just that and modify that just created Instant Movie as wanted.
There are no additional theme to purchase. And, the existing Instant Movie (Content Download type) for an Adobe design needs to be downloaded from within the program (See Instant Movie display of choices and thumbnail with blue ban at the top right corner of that thumbnail. Select Download Now (to obtain completed files for theme) or Download All (to obtain completed files for All Instant Movie theme choices).

Downloading Instant Movie Themes -Premiere Elements 13

I am using an HP 350 G1 with Windows 7 64 bit system. When trying to create and instant movie and attempting to download any theme, it is taking a long time to download and frequently says the download failed and that either I have lost my internet connection or the server is unavailable. I hit retry and it seems to continue but gets stuck at the end saying "completing download".

ndreeya
Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 64 bit. Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates? If not, please do so.
But to the matter of the Instant Movie content downloads. Is the issue restricted to Instant Movie or to other content download as well.
What is the down/up Internet speeds?
The loss of the Adobe content installation disc has been of concern. But, I managed with content download with my DSL Internet (with
speeds in the Kbps (kilobits per second). The content download was often time consuming but did eventually go to completion. Recently
I was forced into an Internet change, resulting in Internet speeds that are in the megabits per second range. What a difference in Content download.
So, let us look at the Internet speeds first and then decide what next if those do not explain the situation you face obtaining content download.
Have you check with your Internet provider to determine if there are problems with your Internet connection? Did you clear the browser Options/Advanced/Network/Cached Web Content and turned off the route for about 45 seconds?
Looking forward to your results.
Thank you.

Instant Movie not finishing (Premiere Elements 9 + Mac OS X 10.10.2)

I use Premiere Elements 9 with a Mac (OS X 10.10.2) and Instant Movie does not complete! It goes up to 100% at applying the settings of the Instant Movie and it just will not move on. With previous versions of OS X it used to work!
Any thoughts?
Can anyone with a Mac with the latest OS X (10.10.2) and Premiere Elements 9 try to reproduce this problem?

Stavros F
Thanks for your reply.
I am at a cross road as to which troubleshooting path would not generate more problems than you already have. Right now you report
that all seems to be working except Instant Movie.
If the deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file did not impact the Instant Movie problem, an uninstall, free
ccleaner run through, and reinstall with antivirus and firewall (as appropriate for Mac) should be considered. But there is no
guarantee that you might run into installation problems when you go to reinstall 9.0 and then 9.0.1. The next thought regarding
permissions might be the next step.
I am not sure if it is valid to look at this as a permissions issue. I have seen an assortment of Elements Mac issues addressed
by Repair Permission....the path might be Application Folder/Utilities/Disc Utilities and Repair Permissions.
The true test is to find a Mac OSX 10.2.2 user working with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and Instant Movie to confirm your results
since there is always the possibility that there is something in the Instant Movie feature that is not compatible with your computer
operating system.
I am not sure what versions of Premiere Elements are "supposed to" work completely with Mac OSX 10.2.2.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks again for the follow ups. Appreciated.

Can't Access Canvas and Timeline

I logged all the video I need a couple of days ago, but when I tried to edit it, the canvas and timeline will not appear. Under the Window tab, they are both faded, and nothing I tried would make them reappear. I have no idea what to do to make it work. I tried to save it in an email and open it from another computer, but whenever I try, it makes the timeline and canvas not work on that computer as well. I've tried opening FCP first and then my project, but the timeline and canvas disappear as soon as it opens the video files. Help!

Tiffany,
Just a note to let you know I was having the same problem with Final Cut Pro 7. This Topic got me going.
Been a couple of years since I used Final Cut Pro 5, but this new iMac was begging for a Final Cut Studio upgrade.

PE12 Instant Movie Project Media Offline

I'm using PE12 and downloaded Outdoor Adventure template. Ran the instant movie and then in a couple places I found a red screen with "Media Offline" in about 15 different languages. The event log says problem with 3 PNG files but I verified the files exist in the Outdoor Adventure template folder. I deleted the template and downloaded again but still received same error.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

A.T. Romano
Thank you for the reply.
Yes, I am running windows 7 pro under the actual administrator account not as a local user with admin rights
Since I am logged in as the administrator is this still necessary?
Still get the error but I did save the project file and re-open. I had not previously saved the project. When I re-open I get the same red screen
This time the event "error" log has only 2 events and also a message popped up asking me to link the file "outdoor-adventure_s_texture.png"
I looked in the folder C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Premiere Elements\12.0\Online\Movie Themes\All_Lang\Event\Outdoor Adventure and the file was missing.
I copied the file "outdoor-adventure_texture.png" and just modified the name to "outdoor-adventure_s_texture.png" and the error message went away.
I downloaded the theme pack once, cleared it out, and re-downloaded. I guess that file is missing.
Here is event list

I have noticed an issue with utilizing the “stream” function on iOS 7. If you choose to just stream the movie by hitting the play button it seems to actually start downloading (which is fine) but if you are say halfway thru the movie and stop you can clearly see that storage has been reduced under the usage, yet under the “videos” tab it still states “No Data” the only way to delete what you have partially downloaded is to fully download the video, which is fine but there is no way to tell what videos have been partially downloaded (I.e which occurs a lot when your child switches between movies using the so called “stream” function). This becomes troublesome once the capacity of the ipad is almost met and you have no way to delete this data since you may have several videos that have started to be viewed (hence partially downloaded). Apple needs to somehow make it truly streaming or provide an update so the storage can be managed. The only way I have been able to remove partially downloaded videos is by doing a total software restore. (The video data that is in question when connected to my MacBook shows up in iTunes as “other”) if you have any insight into this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here are the screenshots for what it's worth.
Not sure why I can't post them in the original post.

'''Again, when I set my DNS server to automatically detect the servers both problems disappear and I have no issues at all.'''
IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations. I believe using the automatic setting for DNS is using my own ISP's DNS servers (which again, work fine... but still...)
I'd rather not use Google's public DNS servers as Google is to commercial these days and I think there's potential privacy issues.
'''Again I have changed the setting for DNS servers back and forth several times to duplicate/verify the issue(s)... and the issues only happen with the opendns servers.'''
