Editing in premiere elements 10

how do I keep a check on the size and length of my project while editing.. so that it does not become too big for a DVD?

You could jump temporarily to the Share/Disc/DVD section and its burn dialog (with DVD disc in DVD burner tray) and see what the burn dialog Quality Section shows for Space Required and Bitrate (check mark is next to "Fit Content to Available Space").
As reference points:
For a DVD-R, 4.7 GB/120 min. stated capacity with 4.38 GB actual capacity.
Often I have seen a maximum of 90 min suggested for Timeline content, stated as for "best results".
8.0 Mbps (megabits per second) is the maximum Bitrate offered for Premiere Elements Variable Bitrate part of the burn preset. Anything lower than 8.0 reflects the program lowering the Bitrate to make the fit. Typically, as the Bitrate is lowered, the quality is lower.
Please check out this possible answer to your question and let us know if that worked for you for what you want to do.
Thanks.

I have a Canon Rebel t5i and a mac - will I have to convert the files from my camera before being able to edit in Premiere Elements?

Media cache files are not involved in the removal of the Adobe watermark from the project.prel file from a tryout.
Just a re-enforcement mention...you cannot remove the Adobe watermark from a tryout "saved" exported product; whereas, you can from a saved/closed project file (project.prel).
By exported product, I mean a burn to disc in the tryout or the Timeline of the tryout exported to a file saved to the computer hard drive.
In the case of removing the Adobe watermark from the tryout project.prel, classically you delete the rendered files (Timeline Menu/Delete Rendered Files) in the purchased program. In no way is media cache involved in this. Some of us have found that there was an automatic removal of the Adobe watermark resulting from just opening the tryout project.prel file in the purchased program.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

New to Forum, Example video Edited in Premiere Elements

All,
I'm new to this forum, hopefully i can give as much as i recieve.
I took some video and made a short YouTube clip of a local band playing a very cool original song. Shot with a Canon 7D and a variety of 2.8 or faster lenses, edited in Premiere Elements. The audio track came from a CD, all footage was shot live.
1. Editing HD footage was painfully slow, so not a good alignment between audio and video in some areas. Is "real-time" editing possible or am I asking too much?
2. 6 hours of editing and not one crash.

Steve,
Thanks for the feedback!
I've got a dual core AMD 4 GB ram, Win7 64 bit. My graphics card is low end, but have tried and FX580--not much better. I'll be trying other graphics cards, and once again the FX580. I'm happy to supply better machine stats, and project settings,
The sample video here was made from 10 or so separate 1920 x 1080 30 fps MOV files less that 1 GB each. The MOV came right out of my Canon 7D. Note I never see a red line above clips unless I've applied some effects.
Things that run very slowly
1. panning the time line (drag the slider at the bottom of the timeline), can take several seconds for the timeline to move--very slow. I typically have the attributes for each track minimized (to not display anything) in an attempt to boost display speed.
2. when editing a movie and just hitting the "play" button on the preview window--nasty slow. the first few frames sync with the audio but after say 5 sec of playing. the video tends to stop but or get very jerky.
3. double click a movie clip (which launches a separate window), play the movie in that window, again very slow choppy graphics.
I've got to believe it's user error. Adobe Premiere (previous versions) have always been fine--performance is so bad, other's would be screaming.
Again, thanks for chiming in.

Multiple Hard Drives for Video Editing with Premiere Elements 8?

I'm using Premiere Elements 8 for video editing. These are the specs I'm using:
The camcorder I used to shoot the footage is a Sony Handycam with model number HDR-SR12. It's a digital HD video camera recorder that shoots in NTSC 1920x1080i HD recording. The footage was shot with AVC HD 9M (HQ), which records in higher image quality mode. The video camera is connected to my computer through a USB cable.
The computer itself is a Windows 7 desktop computer. The CPU is an HP Pavilion Elite HPE-150f PC with Intel Core i7-860 processor. I imported the video into Premiere by selecting "File" --> "Get Media From" and then choosing the third option from the top.
My import option is NTSC/AVCHD/Full HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel, which matches the specs of the camera I shot the footage with.
Even with the patch 8.0.1 that should be preventing crashing, the program keeps crashing upon startup with one specific video project. Using the exact same video files for that project, I recreated the video, with Elements, and never ran into the problem. Both times, I had the patch installed.
At the moment, I am using only the single internal hard drive for everything (software, OS, video editing, etc.). It is 1 TB in size. However, I am informed that one hard drive is not recommended for video editing, and that I need at least two hard drives, one for OS and one specifically for video editing. I was also informed of FireWire 800 and eSata; however, it does not appear that my computer supports eSata.
Can this problem be resolved if I have an external hard drive and connect it to my computer with FireWire 800 (which the computer supports)? If not, what can be done so this problem doesn't arise in the future?
Thanks for the help.

When you import the footage is there a red line across the whole of the timeline?

As you have the recreated project working fine I'd be inclined to put this down as a one-off glitch. If it happens again on a different project then it may be more worrying. You may want to consider using save-as to create multiple versions of your project (note this does NOT duplicate the source clips - so you won't be eating up much extra disk space). You could for example use save-as to create a daily version - ProjectName-Mon, ProjectName-Tue etc....

How can I mkae a simple photo edit on premiere elements 12 without using the video feature?

I was told when I spent $1000+ on my HP and all the software that I would have what I needed to edit photos and/or edit videos. I am a yoga teacher so I am posting my classes online as videos, as podcasts, and I also need to edit some of my personal photos to use for marketing material. I can see where I edit photos for a video and incorporate them in that said video but Im also needing to just edit the photos but adding text. Nothing fancy. I just want to make some flyers.

yogawithlexi,
Welcome to the forum.
Im also needing to just edit the photos but adding text. Nothing fancy. I just want to make some flyers.
For editing photos, to be output to the printed page (whether by a commercial printing service, or a desktop printer), I strongly recommend Photoshop Elements (PsE).
If you need to output to a video file, then Premiere Elements (PrE) can possibly do what you want, but not for the printed page - at least not easily, and with the ultimate results. First, Video is not dependent on DPI/LPI (Dots Per Inch, or Lines Per Inch), where printed material will be. Also, while PrE can output a Still Image, the quality, when printed, will be far less, than what one can obtain with PsE.
Do you currently have Photoshop Elements on your computer, or only Premiere Elements?
Good luck,
Hunt

How to use the Rolling Edit in Premiere Elements 9?

Hi there,
I can't seem to find the rolling edit option in Premiere Elements 9. Is it still in the program or is it removed? And while we're at it, are the slip and the slide edit still in there?
Thanks,
Ronald

Hi Steve,
Yes, if I have two clips or images beside each other on the timeline, the rolling edit will allow me to simultaneously move the cut point of the first clip and the start point of the 2nd clip by moving the (single) cursor forward or backwards.
This was in Premiere in the past.

Converting H.264 for Editing in Premiere Elements 9

Hi!
What is the best way to convert my MOV H.264 files off my Canon T2i for editing in premiere. I've heard several people say that H.264 is NOT an editing codec, and it seems to be true. I am editing a shoot with the files directly off the camera and IT IS SLOW! When you go to export in Premiere it says that AVI files are what you should use for editing in Premiere, but my problem is that I don't know which is the best codec and quality to use. I want Full HD but I'm not sure how to transcode without losing quality. Any suggestions? Please help! Thanks.

Unfortunately, video from the Rebel series isn't supported natively in Premiere Elements 9. (Though it's worth a try. Have you tried one of the DSLR presets that matches your video's resolution?)
The BEST solution is to convert the video to a 1440x1080 MPEG/M2T using Quicktime Pro ($29 from Apple). 1440x1080, as you probably know, is the anamorphic version of 1920x1080, so it is the same resolution.
A 1440x1080 MPEG/M2T video should work perfectly with Premiere Elements' HDV project preset.
Remember: The test to see if you're using the ideal preset is that, when you add the video to your timeline, it will appear without a red line above it.
If you are seeing no red lines above your video but your video editing is still slow, it is most likely an indicator that your computer is not powerful enough to edit hi-def video or that it is not properly tuned.
If you're interested, there are much more detailed explanations for all of this in my books, available on Amazon and at Muvipix.com.

Proxy Editing with Premiere Elements 10

I just read the great post on how to proxy edit with version 7 at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/390600?tstart=0, but I cannot find a way to save a preset with Premiere Elements 10 so I could then modify it to display previews in low-res and output in full HD. The online help from the program mentions "creating" presets, but then only describes how to slelect existing presets. Can anyone tell me how to make a new project preset, or better yet, if there is a built-in way to proxy edit with 10? Thanks!

For reasons that I have not figured out, your last message arrived as an email notification of an Adobe post, but it is not posted in your thread yet. In that post you wrote:
The properties for the clips shows:
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 1920x1080
Frame Rate: 23.976
The Interpret Footage settings show under Frame Rate the radio button for Use frame rate from file: 23.9750 is selected, and under Pixel Aspect Ratio the radio button for use pixel aspect ration from file is selected.
I never received a message to change the project preset.
As a test, I imported a clip that was shot at 1920x1080 30fps and added it to the timeline. I did not receive an error message, but this clip also has a red line above it on the timeline (as do the 24 fps clips).
Thanks for the help AT and SG.
Based on the information supplied, I cannot see a reason why your video should be displaying with a red line over its content
IF
a. Your project preset = NTSC DLSR 1080p DLSR 1080p30 @ 23.97
b. You are dragging the import (1080p @ 23.7 progressive frames per second) from Media to Timeline as the first video to be placed on that Timeline
Please review these criteria and let us know if you spot anything that you have as not consistent with a and b.
Keep in mind, when you bring in a file that is 1080p30 into this project set for 1080p24, you would expect to get a red line over the 1080p30 content since there is a mismatch between file and the project settings.
Another important matter that I am not clear on...is your problem only in previewing? Or does the problem go to previewing as well as exported product?
Thanks.

Issues with video quality after editing in Premiere Elements. Please help!!!

I am having issues with the quality of video output from Premiere Elements. I tried to combine 4 videos clips that I took (all were crystal clear when viewed prior to combining them in Premiere Elements). The first clip is quite pixelated, the second has wavy lines running across it the whole time (recorded webinar), and the third clip looks crystal clear. (FYI...first clip and third clip were both taken using the exact same settings on my Canon) I am not very tech "savvy". I am guessing it has something to do with the way I saved or "shared" the video after editing? But I have NO IDEA what settings I need as I am not very "tech" savvy! I want to upload the finished product to Vimeo. I looked on Vimeo and followed instructions from a tutorial that a Premiere Elements user posted about how to save the best quality video for uploading to Vimeo, and the quality turned out FAR WORSE than the first time I saved it. Please help!!! Thanks so much!

Thanks for your response John! Do you think my issue may be due to the way I initially "set up" the project when I created a new project from the very beginning? I am operating on Premiere Elements 10, so I do not see an option for sharing online directly to vimeo....only facebook and Youtube. I am combining 4 video clips. 3 of the 4 clips were shot on my Canon EOS 60D, and 1 of the video clips was a recording of a PowerPoint based webinar that we did via Meeting Burner (meetingburner.com). Since I am combining more than 1 video format, is it likely that I will run into quality issues? The strange thing was that 2 of the clips shot with my Canon showed up blurry after exporting/sharing my final video, but one of them was still crystal clear. This doesn't make any sense to me since I did not change any settings on my Canon. I didn't see any specific tutorials on setting up the project to match the video from that list of Tutorial links.

Can a video created in Premiere Elements 8 be edited in Premiere Elements 12?

I am having trouble with my Premiere Elements 8 freezing. I reloaded it onto the computer and it worked once and then froze again. So I was thinking about upgrading to PE 12. But I don't know how compatible the two programs are. Does anyone have a solution to my problem?

Churlin
Typically it is recommended that project created in one program be completed in that program. It is possible, but not guaranteed, that a Premiere Elements 8 Windows project will open in Premiere Elements 12 Windows.
But, remember, once a project from the earlier version is opened in a later one and edited, you cannot edit the older project that was edited in the later version. Best make a copy of the Premiere Elements 8 project and use that copy to determine if it will open in Premiere Elements 12. Remember keep the project source media with the project.prel file. Look at Project Archiver (Copy option) if necessary.
Troubleshooting Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 would include
a. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer features turned off?
b. Do you have pile ups of previews, conformed video, and conformed auto?
c. What type of project do you have...project settings, properties of source media, types of edits?
d. Computer resources
and so on.
It is the problem confined to one project or all? How long has the problem existed?
More later.
Thanks.

24f editing in Premiere Elements 4

Hello,
I would like to make a DVD from some event footage a friend shot for me. The problem is his camera was set to record in 24f, which I assume is 24p, and was shot in standard 4:3 definition as well. From what I have read, PE4 will not edit this footage in 24p, but I am confused by what this means.
Would editing it in the frames only mode work, as the video should be progressive? Or could the DV footage be edited as if it were 29.97, then exported as a 23.976 MPEG?
Just so I understand - what is the purpose of the 24p conversion option in the playback settings? Does this only work for displaying the video on the desktop, or does it perform some type of actual conversion of the video footage? Are conversions an option in the pro version only?

So, the 24p footage would be converted to 29.97 through the capture process with PE4? Have been trying to understand pulldown and when/how to do it, and have not found a lot that made sense. Why do people shoot in this resolution if it causes so many problems and there is no support for it?

Can you use more than one computer to edit the same Premiere Elements Project?

I am using Premiere Elements 10. I have built a new project on my desktop computer because the desktop has a firewire port to capture video from my camcorder and my laptop doesn't have a firewire port. The project is stored on my home network. I seem to be able to do editing fine using the desktop computer that the project was created on, but it won't load up right on the laptop for editing. Premiere Elements is configured the same on both computers. I guess my question is - does Premiere Elements store something on on the computer that the project was created on that is not being stored on the network drive? How can I fix the problem so that I can edit on my laptop? The laptop is a top of the line Dell XPS with an i7 processor that I use for other Premiere projects, so the laptops ability is not an issue.
Thanks
Bill

Yes, having files stored on a HDD, but having the letter change between machines is a problem. The Project file (PREL) is only an XML database, with links to the Assets. Those links are Absolute Paths, so if anything changes, from drive letter, to file name, the link is broken.
I have over a dozen externals, that I use to migrate Projects between my main two computers. Each has had its drive letter set in OS of each computer. I started with Z:\ and worked down. Each drive has a lable on it with the designated drive letter. Unfortunately, I ran out of letters, as the workstation has a ton of HDD's and burners, so I had to start over. That does mean that I cannot have both Z:\ drives plugged in at the same time, but that has never been an issue. I wish that Windows would allow for double drive letters, say ZZ:\, but still, I have a handful of letters to use - just too many externals for those letters...
Happy editing,
Hunt

Premiere Elements 8 crashes when selecting the edit option

Hi to you all,
I just installed Premiere Elements 8 on my new system.
It is a Intel i5 + 4 GB mem, GTS250 and 400 GB of free disk space.
OS is WIndows 7 64 bits. The system is completely up-to-date with patches, fixes and so on.
BIOS, Drivers etc. All to the latest.
Starting PE8, no problem
Getting the film from my sony DV on to the disk, no problem.
Disc menu: no problem
Then when I want to add transitions or titles via the edit menu, Premiere elements 8 crashes. It is not responding anymore and windows is looking for a solution.
I followed the hints and tips on this forum on crashing Elements 8. No help. Quicktime to the latest. ended processes. All no help.
I also started PE8 in WIndows XP SP3 mode. Same problem.
Could it be the 64 bits?
Any help would be appriciated.
Richard
The Netherlands

Thank you all for the quick replies.
I installed the latest Nvidia GTS250 driver (from the Nvidia site) and guess. No crash anymore when selecting the edit menu.
My graphical card is a Asus GTS250 DK/DI/1GB and I was using the latest drivers retrieved from the asus site. Those drivers are old.
I can now continue to evaluate Premiere Elements 8.0
Thanks all.

Can i edit MTS files with premiere elements 13

I have a new camcorder and I have a problem editing with premiere elements 7, does elements 13 offer a solution? I believe it is the type of file that is not compatible.

bordstiff
In this thread I have no interests but to supply reliable information to you. What I have written stands as is. And, my answer to your questions will continue to be honest and for your consideration. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask me.
As for AVCHD.mts and AVCHD.mp4 in camera whose specifications offer the choice of AVCHD or .MP4.....both have been reported to use a form of AVCHD video compression with different wrapper formats (.mts and .mp4). Again, I did not post to go further into that. Please refer to the following link's post dated February 12, 2014 as one discussion of the matter.
FCP.co Forum :: Topic: AVCHD vs. MP4 ? (1/2)
I did not discover that AVCHD.mts does not play back the audio portion of an AVCHD.mts file when played back in the Elements Organizer 13 player. That has been the reality of Premiere Elements 13/Elements Organizer 13 users who found this out by themselves later than sooner. And, I confirm their results in those cases. There is no fix for this at the present time, and that is a user to user honest non marketing report. If this Elements Organizer issue is not an important concern for you, then this is a non issue for you.
Best wishes with your projects.
