Elements 13 slideshows

Can you add more than 1 music choice to a slideshow in elements 13?

By text, you mean the captions on photos or the text slides?
Thanks,

Need help, I've tried everything....Missing Photos in Photoshop Elements Slideshow...

Hi all,
I've created a slideshow with Photoshop Elements 7 and the photos loaded and everything looked great. Now when I open up the slideshow in the editor, it's only showing me a few of the photos, the others are completely black. However, when I look in properties, I can see the .jpg file listed, but I can't see anything. It doesn't show up with I play it, I tried File/Reconnect/All missing files it says "there are no files to reconnect". I don't understand if the slideshow is recognizing the pictures, why can't I see them. I am ready to start a fire with my computer. Please help! I've spent so much time editing the pan/zoom and sequence, I feel like crying. This is my first time posting, so I'm not even sure what to do next.
Many thanks to anyone listening!
At this point, is there even a way to re-add the pictures into each space, but allow it to keep the formating and pan/zoom attached to the particular slide?

Hi Reema4,
It sounds like we have similar problems. See what I just posted at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1044130. I can certainly understand your frustration. It is very discouraging that you have not had a reply in over a year now.
I just happened to stumble on your item as it was marked on the right side of the forum page. I could not seem to find anything by searching the forum… as they suggest. Have you found help outside of the forum? If so can you share it with me? I will be monitoring your item and suggest that you monitor my item also.
Please let me know what you may have learned. I think my problem was caused when I moved the folder/files, outside of the Organizer, after I finished the Slideshow… also I am on a windows system. See my forum item for details.
You said “Now when I open up the slideshow in the editor, it's only showing me a few of the photos, the others are completely black. However, when I look in properties, I can see the .jpg file listed, but I can't see anything.” Is there a way to see the properties while in the Slideshow Editor? How?

Build elements slideshow but screen shows black. What did I do wrong?

I build a slideshow of 100 slides with music. Everything looks good but when I preview the screen shows black with the music playing in the background. What am I missing, or doing wrong?

Which version of PSE are you using?

Photoshop Elements Slideshow Freeze

I am having trouble creating a slideshow in PE 10. After selecting the pictures I want to use, I select Create - Slideshow and PE then freezes. It does not make a difference if I select 2 or 100 pictures, it happens every time. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hmm sorry John, I’m not having any more ideas except try installing from a different source if you originally used a disk.
1. Uninstall PSE10 via the control panel.
2. Temporarily disable internet security/anti virus software.
3. Download the free trial from the link below - it’s exactly the same as the boxed product.
4. Run set-up and installation and if successful enter the serial number from your DVD to make it a permanent product.

Premiere Elements rotates Portrait Photos in PhotoShop Elements SlideShow

Is there a way to keep the subject rotation from occuring when a SlideShow is passed from PhotoShop to Premiere?

Hi, MGW. Not many people here use PRE, so you'd probably get more answers in the PRE forum:

Create interactive element (slideshow) from file?

Hi,i'm using InDesign CS6 with DPS. Is there a way to create a slideshow from an file (XML for example)? My objective is to create all pages needed and attaching all images in the slideshow from a database. Thanks in advance.

Sortof. You can use the Data Merge feature in InDesign to build out a set of pages based on XML content and images. That makes it easy to automate the creation of a whole bunch of pages with an image on it. You can't, however, use it to automate making multi-state object slideshows.
I wrote a blog entry a long time ago about how to use this feature to make a PDF to submit to Blurb with images from Lightroom. You may find it useful: http://www.danecreek.com/blog/2010/02/14/creating-blurb-pdfs-using-lightroom-and-indesign. html.

Is Copy Paste Pans & Zooms Possible in Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor Slideshow?

In the Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor, someone wants to create a unique pan and zoom effect for one photo and be able to apply it the the rest of the photos in the Filmstrip without having to do that on an individual photo basis.
In the Slide Show Editor, Edit Menu/Apply Pan & Zoom to All Slides or Apply Pan & Zoom to Selected Slide(s) does not get the job done. Instead it looks like it just applies the default Photoshop Elements pan and zoom. I have investigated several routes to the goal unsuccesful and have concluded that Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor offers no such copy paste pans & zoom feature.
I have detailed how to add more than one pan & zoom per slide, how to get the pan & zoom copy/paste job done in Premiere Elements, either doing all the pan & zoom in Premiere Elements or creating the pan & zoom in Photoshop Elements for one slide, using Send to Premiere Elements, Break Apart Adobe Photoshop Elements Slideshow, copy/paste of the transferred pan & zoom. Believe it or not, that does work. I know that there will be skeptics who feel that the pan & zoom timing would be distored, but....This person does not have or want Premiere Elements in the equation. So, I am looking for a way out for her.
I am posting the question here for someone to confirm my conclusion or offer a way that has escaped me. If someone has found a way, he/she will be fully created for the contribution and thanked.

Copy and past funtionaliy is not available in pan & zoom feature. Please do a feature request.

Premiere Elements 8 Initial Impressions

Premiere Elements 8 First Look: Part 1.
Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8 are now installed on my Windows XP SP3 with about available 1 GB RAM and 70 GB free hard drive space and the virtual memory controlled by the operating system…not great for a heavy duty project, but adequate to overview the programs.
1. Download & Installation. Both programs took about 3 ½ hours to download, using high speed DSL. Premiere Elements 8 downloaded and installed without problems. Installation went much quicker. But, Photoshop Elements 8 download did present challenges, first, it kept downloading Premiere Elements 8 instead of Photoshop Elements 8. Finally in the early hours of the morning, the download from the Adobe site was named Photoshop Elements 8. Great, except, once downloaded it would not launch. The launcher did not know what to do with the .7z file. Download and use of WinZip took care of that. My default browser Mozilla Firefox was worthless for the download of either Photoshop Elements 8 or Premiere Elements 8, but no problems with my Internet Explorer 6. I had this same problem with the Photoshop Elements 7/Premiere Elements 7 downloads last year.
2. Premiere Elements 8
a. Organizer. I would take exception to Steve Grisetti’s picture of the Organizer in “What’s new in Premiere Elements 8?”, but maybe I was overly optimistic by “The most visible change to version 8 is that the Organizer is no longer a sub-program of Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements. It now lives as its own, separate, pretty much independent program – behaving more than ever like its professional big brother, Adobe Bridge.” He went on to say “In version 8, both programs have equal access to a single, full-featured Organizer.”
Here is my dilemma for some who want a separate video and photo catalog. If you had Photoshop Elements 7/Premiere Elements 7, you could create additional catalogs in Photoshop Elements 7. Premiere Elements 7 could use one of these catalogs, but could not create new catalogs. So then, you could have a photo catalog displaying in the Photoshop Elements 7 Organizer and a video catalog displaying when you opened Premiere Elements 7. You cannot do that anymore, and File Menu/Catalog is gone in Premiere Elements 8. You still cannot create catalogs in Premiere Elements 8, so, if you just have Premiere Elements 8, you have ONE catalog. If you have Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8, you can create additional catalogs in Photoshop Elements 8 that can be used in Premiere Elements 8, but these programs will display the same ONE catalog.
b. Project Presets. The “New Preset” button is gone. The categories of the presets for NTSC and PAL remain the same: AVCHD, DV, “Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder”, HDV. However, two choices have been added to the “Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder” categories. Now we have HD 1080i30, HD 1080i30 (60i), Standard, and Widescreen. Here I have a problem reconciling the names and the descriptions. It was my understanding, in Premiere Elements 7 for standard and widescreen in this category, this preset category reverses the Fields: from Upper Field First to Lower Field First in Premiere Elements edits. So, now with these new choices described as follows:
HD 1080i30: 1920 x 1080i; pixel aspect ratio = square pixels (1.0); camcorders like JVC GZ-HD7; 16:9 interlaced HD video at 29:97 frames per second.
HD 1080i30 (60i): HD video from 1440 x 1080i camcorders; 16:9 interlaced HD video at 29:97 frames per second HDV 1080i Anamorphic.
When thinking HD 1080i30 preset….the JVC camcorder captures to a progressive sensor, assumed at 30 frames per second, and can record to it’s built in hard drive as 1920 x 1080i with 30 frames per second each frame with 2 fields. So, what prevents us from calling this preset HD 1080i30 (30p) Square Pixel?
When thinking HD 1080i30 (60i))…the camcorder involved captures to an interlaced sensor at 60 fields per second, and can record to it media as 1440 x 1080 with 30 frames per second, using a HD Anamorphic. So, what prevents us from calling this preset HD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic?
When I start comparing preset choices, the only reason for using these “Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder” new choices appears to be, like for standard and widescreen, to have the Fields reversed. Do you agree? Any comments on the nomenclature for these new preset choices?
3. Adobe Folder, folders and files
If you go to the default location of the Adobe Folder (My Documents\Premiere Elements\8.0), there are some differences there:
For Premiere Elements 7 and earlier versions there were:
Adobe Premiere Elements Previews Folder
Encoded Files Folder
Media Cache Folder that piled up with conformed audio files (.cfa and .pek)
Project Prel file
Styles Folder
And sometimes 2 .log files
Now in Premiere Elements 8, the Media Cache Folder is gone and we have the arrangement:
Adobe Premiere Elements Previews Folder
CA Object Track Results
Encoded Files
Layouts
Styles Folder
(You no longer see the endless conforming of DVD Menus (not even used) at the beginning of the project. But, I am still trying to figure out what they did with the conformed audio files (.cfa and .pek). More on that next time, along with Premiere Elements 8 Exports as well as Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Elements 8 intergration.

I have not gotten to Part 3 yet. This is an add on to the last add on.
I tried to find the Premiere Elements 8 Read Me file since those Read Me files usually contain "Known Bug Messages". I could not find that Adobe had put it online, but I did dig it out of the try out download folder. Here is the excerpt on Premiere Elements 8 known bugs/issues:
Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0 Known Issues
Importing Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 and 4.0 Projects
• Effect keyframes in Premiere elements 3.0 projects may not import correctly
Capturing and Importing Video
DV Device control will be disabled and capture will not proceed normally if sound card is not present or offline.
·         If capture is interrupted by a system event such as switching users, locking the system, or the screensaver, the duration of the captured file will be much shorter than expected. It is recommended to disable the screensaver before starting capture, and to avoid any actions that may interfere with the capture.
·         For live capture from DV camcorders, you must first disable scene detect.
·         When importing some Flash files a “Macromedia Flash Player security" message reading “Flash player has stopped potentially unsafe operation" may appear. Click “OK”, and the file will import normally.
·         When capturing form HDV camcorders you may see interlace lines in the preview window, The interlace lines do not appear in the captured video
·         Divx files may not be imported properly and sometimes import only audio or video part of it
·         After completing time-lapse capture, it may take some time for the organizer to update and display the thumbnails for the captured files. Still images captured using Stop Motion are not added to the organizer.
·         Importing media from some devices requires that the drivers provided with devices are installed
·         Stop Motion capture is not supported for HDV camcorders.
Organizer
•       When reconnecting missing media, each grouped scene must be reconnected individually
Edit
·         If issues are seen with color in preview, switch to CPU playback mode by un-checking “Enable GPU Playback” checkbox in Edit>preferences>General and restart application after saving your project.
·         Generation of thumbnails for DVD scene menus may take longer than expected when using HDV content.
·         Organizer may exhibit performance issues with large catalogs (5000-10,000 files )
·         With some GPU cards enabling “Accelerated GPU Effects” may cause the preview to be zoomed in.
·         Voice over narration may not be recorded using a mono USB microphone
·         When previewing audio mixes, pops may be heard as the CTI passes form one clip to the next. These pops will not appear in your exported movie
Audio mixer sliders may become “sticky” when mixing clips that have been time stretched
·         [Japanese & Chinese Simplified SPECIFIC] When application is installed to path that contains double byte characters path, GPU effects/transition will not function.
·         [Japanese SPECIFIC] Inputting ¥ symbol in Menu templates produces a backslash ( \ )
Photoshop Elements Integration
• In Photoshop Elements, choosing “Edit in Adobe Premiere Elements” may not bring the Adobe Premiere Elements window to the foreground.
• If a Photoshop Elements slideshow is sent to Adobe Premiere Elements, further edits in Photoshop Elements will not be reflected in Adobe Premiere Elements.
• Images saved in Photoshop Elements in BMP mode using the Advanced Settings cannot be imported into Adobe Premiere Elements. This includes images created using Adobe Premiere Elements Freeze Frame function and sent to Photoshop Elements for editing. If the image is saved using Photoshop Elements Advanced Settings, it cannot be returned to Adobe Premiere Elements, and as result, the original, unedited Freeze Frame image will be used.
• Send to Premiere Elements 8.0 will not work from older versions of Photoshop Elements
Exporting Movies
• Export of movies to the root directory of any drive (e.g. D:\) may fail.
• When exporting movies over one hour to MPEG2 format, the render dialog may continue to be displayed for a period of time after the render progress bar appears to have completed. Rendering is still occurring until the render dialog boxes closes. Clicking Cancel before the render dialog box closes will interrupt this process, and your export file will not be created
• For play back on a PSP, movies must include both audio and video. Movies exported with video only or audio only will not play back on the PSP.
• Archival of projects with Type 1 DV-AVI files is not supported.
• If standard definition menu templates are used when burning to Bluray, menu images s will appear of low quality
• When attempting to burn a Bluray disc to a previously burned disc, you will see an error message indicating that the disc is incompatible, instead of an error message indicating the disc is full.
• Movies exported in H.264 format may have a few white frames added to the end
• Movies exported in MPEG2 format may be a few frames shorter than the original movie
This seems to answer my question about Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Element 8 integration regarding slideshows, but may be of more widespread interest to others for the other "known bugs" cited by Adobe.

Change caption style for all captions in a slideshow?

I'm working on a slideshow that has 111 photos. I had Photoshop Elements 4 add captions, which were already stored with each photo (I had added the captions using different software).
I probably will want to use a pdf file for the output of this slideshow. But I may also simply want to have people view a set of numbered jpg's with captions visible, using something like Windows XP fax and picture viewer.
My problem is that the captions are plain white, without any shadow. Any of my photos that have been rotated have blank white areas to the right and left of the photos. If the caption is wide, it isn't readable on the sides.
I want to change the caption style, probably to use the choice that is white with black shadow around it. I can see a possibility of how to do this one photo at a time, and it seems to take several steps. I'd choose a style, create a new textbox, copy and paste the caption into that textbox, place the textbox where I want it. Even then, I'm not sure how to replace the existing poorly formatted caption.
I'm wishing to avoid repeating that 111 times. Is there any way to just change the caption style? Or to create a macro that will take these steps repeatedly for each slide?
I just watched a tutorial on creating slideshows in Premiere Elements that appears to offer many more options for working with titles and their styles. But I don't think I want this to be a Premiere Elements slideshow. One use of this slideshow will be for people giving presentations, and they may want to move forward manually, so they can talk for a longer or shorter time for each slide.
I'd appreciate any help.
Harriet

I am willing to stand corrected Harriet, but I don't know that you can.
Having said that you could change the background colour to black or some
other colour that white will show up against like blue... this will
alleviate the "font colour" problem.

Why can't I import .jpg files into PRE 9 slideshow project?

I have a Windows 7 computer and use Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9. I recently completed a slideshow for my father's 90th birthday in Photoshop Elements that contains about 360 photos, 12 songs/partial songs, and lasts 24 minutes. My intention is to burn it to a DVD so that it can play on Windows and Mac computers, as well as on televisions in DVD players.
When I tried to import the project into Premiere Elements I got an error message: "Adobe Photoshop Elements Slideshow Import Error: Following file formats could not be imported in Adobe Premiere Elements - .jpg."
From a little digging I have done I saw a post that said that my photo files have to be: 1) 24-bit RGB color, and 2) no larger than 1000 x 750 pixels. If this is true, then many of my photos have too many pixels, which must be causing the error message. Does anyone know if this is correct? If so, is there any way that I can fix my problem without going in to each photo file and reducing the size of the pixels/file? I am also wondering if upgrading to the most recent versions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements could help me. Thanks very much in advance for any advice or suggestions.

welcome HarleyQ to the  boards ...
avi and mov are socalled containers, some say "wrapper"; inside such a container are all kind of "codecs" (formats...)
iM is meant to work with miniDV camcorders; these use a codec called dv..
so, iM prefers a dv (inside a mov.. or an avi, if the file is made on a PC...)
QTpro allows you, to look inside an avi (or mov), and looking for the used codec; QTpro also allows the conversion of many codecs into dv.. but not all; you can teach QT new tricks, by installing plug-ins, codecs for divx, wmv, ...
goto www.perian.org, and install that plug-in.. probably, it helps to handle your avi................

Inserting namespaces into result elements

    where $entry/ROW/SJ_NR = 1566

</url>
</urlset>' RETURNING CONTENT)

The Code above works fine. If I try to insert an 'xmlns' atribute for the defaultnamespace like this:
SELECT XMLQuery (
'<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
{for $entry in ora:view("stp_semesterplaene_v")

*Cause:    The XPath step specified invalid element or attribute name that did not match any nodes according to the input XML schema or structure.
*Action:   Correct the element or attribute name as the name may be mis-spelled.
As far as I know my syntax should be valid as far as xquery is concerned...

Mr. Guzie
What versions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements are you using? For now, no matter.....
I think that the problem is in your management and placement of the mouse cursor.
Try this:
Given that you have the Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor slideshow on the Timeline, you have right clicked the slideshow there, and clicked on Break Apart Adobe Photoshop Elements Slideshow (for versions Premiere Elements 4 or 7) or Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow (if Premiere Elements 8), and you now have the broken apart slideshow. You should not have to remove transitions prior to the following.
Click and drag the video from the media panel and holding down on the mouse continuously, get the mouse cursor to the edge where you want the insertion, moving the mouse cursor down into the video one content until the mouse cursor changes to a white arrow with a icon next to it that looks like two vertical gray bars with a green arrow between. Only then release the mouse. The video should just snap into place and not end up on video track 2. I think that you are releasing the mouse too soon when you are not yet in the right location for the insertion into video track 1 content at an appropriate point.
I will be watching for your progress.

Adobe premier elements 11 downloaded but will not install

adobe premier elements 11 downloaded but will not install?

Hunt
What you just wrote may have revealed the Photoshop Elements Premiere Elements integration consideration. If you have Premiere Elements 11, you need Photoshop Elements 11 for the integration between the programs to produce the DVD version of the Photoshop Elements Slideshow.
All along I was picturing Meyerswalter already in Premiere Elements 11/Publish+Share/Disc/DVD and being told to install Premiere Elements to get the burn to disc accomplished.
But, if Meyerswalter is using Premiere Elements 11 and a non integrated version of Photoshop Elements for this matter, that could very well fit.
So, Meyeswalter, so that we can dispel those thoughts
a. What versions of Photoshop Elements are you using with Premiere Elements 11? And, are you in the Photoshop Elements Slideslide Show Editor using the Output of Burn to Disc DVD or Edit with Premiere Elements Editor and getting the load software message somewhere along the line?
b. To prove this point, if you have not already, what happens if you take Photoshop Elements out of the equation. Import some media into Premiere Elements 11 and try to burn to disc from there Publish+Share/Disc/DVD?
If that is the core of the issue, I will post a list of Photoshop Elements Premiere Elements integrated combos as a guideline for you.
If this is the core of the issue, you could always keep the non Photoshop Elements 11 version that you have, output the slideshow to a wmv file sized for DVD and then import that into Premiere Elements 11 via its Add Media. More on that later if necessary since right now I am speculating on an explanation for what you are encountering.
Thanks.

No Audio with Video in Photoshop Elements

Some videos such as MVI do have the audio when I add the video to Photoshop Elements slideshow project. There is no audio on 99.9% of the videos (AVCHD Videos .MTS files) obtained from my JVC camcorder and added to the same Photoshop Elements slideshow project. Why one video had sound after being added to Photoshop Elements, I do not know. However, when I open these same videos from my Windows explorer, they play with sound just fine.
OS: Windows 7
Dell laptop purchased June 2010
Internet Explorer 64-bit
Photoshop Elements 8.0.0.0
OS Version 6.0
Built-In Memory 3.7GB
Free Memory 2GB

There is limited support for video in PSE. The PSE/PRE combo gives the best input/output options including export to h.264, mobile devices, mp4 and burning DVD’s.

Images Cut off in Premier Elements project

When I import a slide show into a Premier Elements project the images are cut off with only the bottom half of the images appearing. Can anyone give me some guidance on this issue?

Are you importing the slideshow as a wmv file rather than using the Edit with Premiere Elements Editor Output option in the Photoshop Elements Slideshow Editor?
Lots of information needed but I may have the answer in spite of all the questions.
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
Is your slideshow coming from Photoshop Elements Slideshow Editor? If so, how are you outputting it
a. Save to File Movie (wmv)
b. Burn to Disc
c. Edit with Premiere Elements Editor
There has been an epidemic of 1/2 wmv displays associated with a recent Windows Update kb. This may be at the core of your issue. Please see the Announcement at the top of this forum. For your convenience, it should look like:
Announcement: Windows Update Causes Display to Be Blacked Out
Hide Details
MicroSoft has issued an Update for Windows, that is causing problems with Displays. The following is from Talbot McInnis, who tracked down this problem, and offers a fix:
"MS bulliten MS13-057. Specifically, on XP kb2834904 and on windows 7 kb2803821 is causing a problem
For us, it occurs when decoding WMV9 files. Not all uses of WMV decoding are affected, but I confirmed that when connecting the WMV decode DLL to a sample grabber for RGB32 video, the frames arrive black on top, so that points directly to decoding internals of the WMV Decode dll.
You can uninstall these windows updates to resolve your problem."
There are several threads on the problem that this Update is causing on the PrE and PrPro Forums, so one can get more details. So far, there is not another fix from either MS, or Adobe.
Also, see this Adobe KB Article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/wmv-files-corrupted-import-or.h tml
by Bill Hunt (Jul 12, 2013)
Please check out the Announcement details and delete the appropriate Windows Update kb if this applies to you.
There have been many, many threads on the topic, all with helpful advice which includes
a. for now, have the Windows Updates require your notification and approval for any downloading and installing of Windows Updates
and
b. if you catch the offending Windows Update kb in the Windows Updates Important Updates, right click it and select Hide. That is supposed to keep it away.
Please view and then let us know the outcome.
Thanks.
