Elements 10 - Location of temp video files

Hi all,
I imported a video into Elements 10 for Mac, and then it crashed while manipulating the video. When I restarted the project, the video clips don't appear anymore. However, my HDD still has lost space from the project. Can someone tell me where those files are stored so I can delete them to regain the 2GB of space lost?
Thanks

I read that post you made, and thanks so much for responding.
I understand that the projects link back to the original video file form the import, so the project files themselves aren't large. I was curious about this and was checking my HDD storage capacity during my project editing. When I started the project, I had about 16.5GB of free space. After I had edited a few clips and deleted others, I checked again and my HDD was at ~14.5GB. I assumed that meant that my tinkering had resulted in Adobe making temporary video files and that was what had taken up my HDD space. So I was confused as to what had happened. I noticed that some of the space has now returned since my original post, but I'm not sure why that 2GB was lost.
I should also mention I haven't downloaded/changed anything else on my HDD during this time.
Thanks again for responding Bill!

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.

Although I cannot give you first hand workings of Premiere Pro CC because I do not use the program (I am strictly an Elements Windows user),
I offer the following Adobe documentation that I found online for Premiere Pro CC features that you seek and that Premiere Elements does not have.

Elements 13 crash when playing video files

I just installed Photoshop elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13. When I try to playback video files in Photoshop elements 13 it crashes. When playing the same files in Premiere elements 13 it works nicely.
It worked in PE12. It also works in QuickTime

Hi there,
maybe you should first make a driver-rollback to see if its really driver related. If yes, then try these one:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
(But please READ the FAQ before doing anything!)
Otherwise I would recommend you to download a codec pack like k-lite and try it again (www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm)

Elements 12 wont accept .mov video files

I'm trying to import .mov files into Premiere Elements 12 but it will only bring them in as audio files, not video? The source file is playing fine in Quicktime, but elements won't accept it. I'm working on PC and urgently need to edit this piece... An

What is the Brand/Model/Settings for the camera that recorded this video? Any chance, MotionJPEG video compression?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? Are you running your program from a User Account with
Administrative Privileges and also have applied Run As Administrator?
Since this is a rush on your side, let us go with just the above for the moment. If that is not the answer, then I will put you through the
drill of must have information
a. project preset
b. properties of your source media
c. computer operating system
d. video card/graphics card drive update
e. etc.

Premiere Elements 9 no longer supports video files from Nokia Lumia 920 (it used to do)!

I've edited many videos from the same phone (.mp4) with the same software before (last time was 8 months ago). Now the software claims that the "file format is not supported or the required codec is not installed". How can it be? I haven't uninstalled or installed any codecs. The phone is the same. I can still open the old projects on Premiere Elements. I need to get this fixed so I can edit my videos!

nome2014
In the case that you are presenting, are you importing new Nokia video into a new project? You say that you can open old projects in Premiere Elements. Do the old projects contain Nokia video from the same camera? If so, open one of the old projects and try to import the new Nokia video into that old project. Imports or not?
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9 running on? Are you running the program as the 9.0.1 Update? If not, please do so either
a. from Help Menu/Update in the opened project
or
b. from the 9.0.1 Update downloaded from Adobe online (Premiere Elements closed during download and installation).
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4929
I have just downloaded a sample from your Nokia Lumia 920 (1920 x 1080 @ 30 frames per second* AVCHD.mp4) and had no problems importing it into a new Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project set with the project preset of NTSC DSLR 1080p DSLR 1080p30.
*Potential issues....
the Nokia video comes with a variable frame rate, in my case, 4.201 to 30.090, showing a value of 29.272. Premiere Elements (any version) is known to have issue with cell phone video recorded with a variable frame rate. The problem can manifest itself as audio out of sync or just not being able to import the video at all. Remedy...take the video into HandBrake and convert the variable to a constant frame rate.
http://handbrake.fr/
Do you need a step by step how to on that? If so, we can supply one.
From what I have read, the Nokia can record with AVCHD video compression as well as MPEG-4. Both have a .mp4 file extension. Is what you used before the same video codec as you are using now? Please check the camera settings.
Please review and consider. You can post a sample of your problem video here as a Dropbox link, and I will road test it in my Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 that is working with a sample download from your brand/model cell phone.
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thanks.

Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer Crashes when Importing Video Files

I recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 10 to 12. Now if I import any of my videos, they import onto the hard drive but as soon as Elements tries to bring them into the catalog, Photoshop Crashes. When I re-open the Organizer, it crashes as soon as it processes my files. If I delete the video file from my hard drive, then it doesn't crash. I have lots of videos that were imported under Photoshop Elements 10 and they don't cause any problems.
I uninstalled Elements and re-installed but that didn't help.
I deleted my preferences but that didn't help.
I updated to 12.1 but that didn't help.
Here are the details of the crash.

I have checked on another Windows 8.1 computer and it doesn't have problems so it isn't a general problem with Windows 8.1.
Also, it isn't a problem with that particular catalog (That catalog worked on my other computer and I get the error with a new catalog)
I re-downloaded Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package and updated it since that seems to be what MSVCR100.dll is used for but that didn't help.
I get the problem with .MTS and .MT2S (AVCHD) video files but don't have the problem with .MP4 files.
I tried with a Safe Boot but I still have the problem.
I did a file cleanup using CCleaner but that didn't help either.
I ran System Mechanic to fix registry problems but that didn't help either.
I tried disabling my Norton Antivirus and Firewall but that didn't help.

I do not have any version of Premiere Elements installed.
I never removed any files. This is a clean installation from a couple months ago when I got my new hard drive.

Passing video files from Lightroom 5 to Premier Elements 10

Can I export video from Lightroom 5 to Premiere Elements 10 for editing? The "edit in" option seems not to work for video files - the options are dimmed out. I have no problem exporting still pictures for editing in Photoshop or Premiere Elements 10.

Video files don't need to be exported from Lightroom. They are simply located in a folder on your computer. You can go to Premiere Elements and go to that folder and utilize the video files. Or, you may want to use your system browser and copy the video files to a more convenient folder, depending on your Premiere Elements file organization methods.

Can I change the location of adobe organizer file folders in Elements 11 from my c to d drive ?

Can I change the location of adobe organizer file folders in Elements 11 from my c to d drive ?
My laptop, which uses Windows 7, came with the hard drive divided between a C and D drive. the C drive, where all the programs load, is nearly full, and I would like all the photos and videos that adobe elements organizer finds and that I download into load on my nearly empmty and spacious D drive.
In other programs I can change this is file prefernces, but I cant find that feature in elements.
Is it possible? and how can I do it?

Team Ben Hur
SG will probably have more to say about his reply, but in the meanwhile you might want to check out Premiere Elements 11/Elements Organizer 11/File Menu/Catalog Manager... and the Custom Location option. I suspect that is what both of you have in mind?
When Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 are installed on the same computer, they share a common Elements Organizer (catalog) although they can be purchased as standalone products each with its own Elements Organizer (catalog).

Elements 9 Freezes on Adding Canon DSLR video files

I just purchased Premiere Elements 9 to edit my Canon T2i video files. When I try to add the video files by going to Get Media - From File, the progress bar pops up and goes away quickly like it is finished processing the addition to my organizer, but the video file never shows up. If I go to Filter By and select the project I am working on to only show the project files, I get the Windows thinking icon and that is all the further I can get Elements to go. After 1/2 hour or so I close elements. When I open the project file back up, the video I tried to add earlier shows up. I don't think I should have to kill the program and reopen it everytime I try to add a video file to the project. What gives? My computer is a Core i5 M430 with 4gb of ram on Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

Got a response from Adobe support and this is what they suggested:
"Solution 1: Update to Premiere Elements 9.0.1 update
Do one of the following:
* Launch Adobe Premiere Elements 8 and choose Help > Updates.
* Download and install updates from the below mentioned link.
( http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4930 )
Solution 2: Update the graphic card driver.
Many video card manufacturers frequently update their software drivers. If you haven't recently updated the video card driver, contact the video card manufacturer for an updated driver, or download one from the manufacturer's website.
Solution 3: Update quick time player.
Open Quicktime player> click help menu > click update.
Solution 4: Re-create the preferences files.
Re-create the Adobe application preferences file to eliminate problems caused by a damaged preferences file. For specific instructions, search the application Help system for "restore preferences" or "re-create preferences." .
Mac Hard disk > Users > username > Library > application support > adobe.photoshop.com.plist
(please remove the adobe.photoshop.com.plist file from this location and relaunch the application and kindly make sure the application is closed before your perform this step)
Solution 5 : Install or run the Adobe application from within a new user account.
Occasionally, a user account can become corrupted and prevent the installer from accessing or creating the necessary files and folders. Create an account, log in to the new account, and then try to install or run the Adobe application. For information on creating a user account, see "Creating a new user account" in the Mac OS X Help.
Solution 6: Remove third-party plug-ins.
Applies to Acrobat, Adobe Reader, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Premiere Elements, After Effects, Bridge, Fireworks, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and Photoshop Lightroom.
Remove third-party plug-ins from the application plug-ins folder, and restart the application. If the problem recurs, move the plug-ins back to the application plug-ins folder. If the problem doesn't recur, identify conflicting plug-ins.
To identify conflicting plug-ins:
1. Move one third-party plug-in back to the application plug-ins folder.
2. Restart the application, and try to re-create the problem.
3. If the problem doesn't recur, repeat step 1. If the problem does recur, contact the developer of the plug-in that you last moved, and inquire about an update.
Solution 7. Run the application while no other applications are running.
To maximize available RAM and reduce the chance that another application conflicts with the Adobe application, quit open applications (including virus-protection utilities). Then restart the Adobe application. If applications don't quit as expected, force quit them by choosing Force Quit from the Apple menu.
Note: Don't force quit the Finder, which is the core Mac OS component.
Solution 8: Install or run the application with the Login Items disabled.
To disable nonessential extensions located in the user accounts Login Items folder, press Shift while you restart the computer. Pressing Shift disables any applications that are in the Login Items folder.
This should resolve your issue. If it does, please let us know, however in case it does not; please revert with any new information that you might want to add which will help us in resolving your issue."
Nothing helped until I installed PRE9 under a different login. I appears my install must have been bad from the start. I had originally downloaded the trial and then used the key from the DVD copy I bought to convert it to a licensed version. I'm thinking something went wrong in that whole deal, should've just reinstalled from the DVD when I got it. Oh well, all seems well now and I can finally get some editing done! It actually seems to work smoother than Vegas 9 did. Could probably use a bit more RAM though. I only have 4GB. I know PRE9 can only use 4gb, but windows 7 and background stuff uses over 1GB when the computer is idle, so 8GB might give PRE9 a bit more headroom.

Premier Elements 7.0 doesn't seem to recognize my video files on my Canon Rebel T5i...?! HELP!

I have tried to load the video files into Elements directly from my camera AND from a folder on my Windows PC, but no matter what Elements doesn't recognize these files and won't let me add them to any projects. Any suggestions? thanks in advance!

I can't install the gspot program as I have a "managed" computer (work computer)...sorry!
When I plug the camera into my PC (running Windows 7) it pops up and I can see that all the video files are .mov files. I can play them through windows media player just fine. When I go to "add media" in elements, i get the "no valid files found".
I have tried to save the files in a folder, and same thing..."no valid files".
This is the first time I've used this software--it was just added to my computer. When I open the program I get the message (second image) not sure if this has anything to do with the issue.
I'm not the most technical person (probably obvious)...but usually have no problem navigating new technology..! thank you!

How do I relink my video files when the source files are located in an AVCHD folder structure?

I am using FCP X 10.1.1 and I was completely done with editing a simple multicam video for a choir track and when I was exporting it it failed. I re-opened FCPX and found that there are several missing files, when I had just been working with them just a second ago! I know about relinking video files, but when I try to locate the source files (knowing where they are), the browser will not let me select ACHD file contents to get at the video files. Also, I cannot open the Library file for my project either.
Here is a snap shot:

If it comes down to it, use clip wrap to carve your .mov files out of the SD. I am confused tho - if you were originally able to import all you needed and still have the original media ? Why can't you do it again to add other clips? To "get in" to your Library, control click on it>show paskage... but do NOT MOVE anything only copy.
Perhaps soeone else can shed light on this?

Premiere Elements 11 - No audio on playback using MP4 or MOV video files

Hello,
I've recently started using Premiere Elements for a project I'm working on and I'm learning as I go.
When I'm adding a video that plays audio in another program to Premiere, the audio won't play.
I've checked the audio and audio hardware settings and they both seem fine. The mixer is not muted and when I publish the file, there is still no audio.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Dale

I am assuming that you are working with Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12. On what computer operating system are they running?
Can you open your .avi file in the Elements Organizer 12 and playback the file there and hear audio in the playback?
We have just helped a Premiere Elements user resolve a no sound with .avi file in another thread. Her answer was to update Premiere Elements 12 to 12.1 (See opened project Help Menu/Update.) Why is there no sound on avi files?
The details are in the link cited in my conversions with the user Vickie.
The full video and audio properties of the problem files are needed to evaluate situation such as you describe. In the case of the other user, she was not able to give us anything beyond .avi file. But, fortuately that 12.0 to 12.1 suggestion came to the rescue nonetheless. Bottom line is that, if the 12.0 to 12.1 Update does not resolve your issue, then we will need to go "by the book" and gather file properties, project settings, and the like to try to target the cause of your audio issue. Have you added to this project any narration clips from the program's Narration Tool?
If you create a new project, can you hear the audio from this .avi file in it? Is the problem confined to one .avi file or to any of these .avi files that you import into new or pre-existing projects. Can you hear the audio from non .avi files?
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

Elements 12 Organizer unable to preview .mts video files

I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1. I have the newest version of Apple QuickTime (7.7.6) installed.
I import .mts video files from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 for organizing along my still photos. I am absolutely certain that previewing the video files in Elements Organizer used to work fine at least before I upgraded from Elements 11 to 12. Maybe it also has been working in Elements 12, but I cannot tell for sure. Now, instead of a preview, I get the error 'The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed'. If I add one of these files to an Premiere Elements video project, however, the file plays nicely from the Premiere timeline.
I have tried downgrading my Quick Time versions all the way down to 7.3, with no result.
Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?

How do I get Elements 13 64 bit to play .mts video files with sound as they do in Elements 11 32 bit?

I have upgraded to Elements 13 64 bit from Elements 11 32 bit and .mts video files now play without sound - they still play perfectly with sound on Elements 11 32 bit.
Is there something that needs to be changed to get Elements 13 to play them with sound or have Adope simply hooped .mts playback in Elements 13 64 bit?
I am running on Windows 8.1 Professional with Media Centre on a Dell XPS15 and have Elements 13 64 bit and Elements 11 32 bit installed.
Adobe, how do I get the support that is supposed to be available for 90 days after activation?

Hello jl666,
I have noticed the same issue having upgraded to PSE13 64bit from PSE9 on Windows 7. This has been reported to Adobe in several forum threads and I have myself tried on three occasions to get Adobe Technical Support to acknowledge or respond to this issue, so far without any success.
Despite the fact that Adobe publically claims to support this format, I was told in my last chat with their technical support that I should buy Premiere Pro and that Elements has never and does not support any video data...
Unterstützte Dateiformate | Premiere Elements, Photoshop Elements
Here is my chat transcript which I attach in the hope that someone from Adobe will take this issue seriously and work towards providing a fix.
Sanyogita: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Jon Barber: .MTS files no longer play with sound. .DV files no longer play at all.
Jon Barber: Hello
Sanyogita: One moment while I look up your customer record.
Sanyogita: Please allow me a moment to search for the information.
Jon Barber: ok
Sanyogita: I can see you have PSE 13
Jon Barber: Correct and previously PSE 9 where everything worked fine...
Sanyogita: MAy I know which application are you using for >MTS files
Sanyogita: .MTS files
Jon Barber: This issue is mentioned in various threads in your forums as well, but no response or solution from adobe yet
Jon Barber: Organiser just double clicking on the file to play it. They play, but with no sound. When I play them in Windows the sound is correctly played
Sanyogita: In PSE 13 there is no provision of playing videos with sound
Sanyogita: You need premiere pro to play videos with sound
Jon Barber: Other formats are correctly played with sound.
Jon Barber: Please tell me why I have paid €80 to upgrade from PSE9 to get worse functionality then!
Jon Barber: This is nonsense!
Sanyogita: You should purchase Premiere pro for videos
Sanyogita: PSE 13 is only for photos
Jon Barber: Complete nonsense and not advertised in your documentation. Are you trying to tell me that no video files play with sound, because that is simply not true!
Sanyogita: Please purchase Premiere elements for videos
Jon Barber: Adobe sucks - I will pass your comments onto the appropriate forum threads and hope that other customers also let you know how they feel about this reduction in functionality from previous versions.
Sanyogita: previous versions of PSE never supported video application
Jon Barber: You are misinformed. These videos work fine on PSE 9 and most files still work on PSE13, just .MTS files have no sound
Sanyogita: I am sorry ,I am not an expertise in this product
Sanyogita: Let me connect you to that team
Jon Barber: Yes,I can tell that - perhaps you could pass this open bug onto someone who does
Jon Barber: Please do not close this bug - I am getting annoyed at having to reopen it
Sanyogita: Please stay online I will transfer your chat now
Jon Barber: ok thank you
info: Please wait while I transfer the chat to the appropriate group.
info: You are now chatting with Jayita Sen.
Jayita Sen: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Jayita Sen: Please allow me a moment while I look into your account & verify the details.
Jon Barber: Hello
Jayita Sen: John we only support download & first installation of PSE 13
Jayita Sen: please contact the forums for further support
Jon Barber: This issue is mentioned in several forums and no solution has so far been forthcoming from Adobe.
Jon Barber: I paid €80 to upgrade from PSE9 and now have worse functionality than before and now you are telling me you cannot help. Is that what Adobe considers customer support?!
Jon Barber: By the way I did recently download and initally install PSE13 so according to your rules you should provide support.
Jayita Sen: Jon we don't support "Unexpected behaviours or how to issues"
Jayita Sen: only forums support it
Jon Barber: This is not a 'how to issue', it is a bug!
Jon Barber: It is functionality that previously worked and no longer does. I am not requiring lessons in how to use the system, just trying to do something that already worked in previous versions.
Jon Barber: Frankly I find these support responses from Adobe shocking. What I expect to hear from you is 'thank you for highlighting this issue, we will work on finding a solution and get back to you and others with the same problem in the customer forums" Not an extraordinary set of excuses for poor software.
Jayita Sen: I am sorry Jon...but forums is where you can only get the support
Jon Barber: Customers having to help customers since clearly no-one at Adobe has a clue about their own product. How many customers do you expect to have in 12 months with this service?
Jon Barber: Goodbye - please contact me if you are geniunely interested in helping your customers rather than fobbing them off with excuses.
