Elements 9 Auto-Analyze Causes Crash

I'm trying a trial version of Photoshop Elements 9.  I've discovered that whenever it tries to do the auto-analyze function, the software crashes.  I had to disable the "Analyze Photos for People Automically" to keep the software from crashing after startup.  But still, it defeats the purpose of being able to do facial recognition which is the main reason why I want to upgrade from Elements 6 to 9.  It crashes even if I try to analyze ONE picture.
I've read other posts but couldn't find any solutions.  Is there a fix for this? Without the facial recognition, there's not much point in upgrading.  In fact it forces me to look at other alternatives such as Google Picassa which does facial recognization just fine on my computer.  But I'd prefer to stick with Elements if possible.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using Windows XP SP3 fully patched.  Photoshop Elements 9 is fully up to date.   My 256MB Geforce 6200 video card has the latest drivers installed. I've got 17 GB of free space on my hard drive and 1.5 GB of RAM.

Thank you for your response.
I did have everything unchecked in the Media Analysis preferences.  It would still crash whenever I manually ran the Auto-Analyzer from the context menu or the "Start People Recognition" button.
I went ahead and checked just the "Face" option but the results are the same.  When I click the "Start People Recognition" button, it brings up a box that says "Analyzing Your Media", it pauses for several seconds and then it crashes.
Any other suggestions?  Do you know if this a software issue or a hardware issue?

    Adobe Premiere Elements 8 "Auto Analyzer" causes Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 and 10 to freeze. How is this fixed? Uninstall your software?

    Leo_Do
    Are you running Premiere Elements 8 as the 8.0.1 Update. If not, please do so
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
    The automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features of version 8 are major grabbers of system resources.
    The 8.0.1 shuts off the automatic Background Rendering feature. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General and the background
    rendering option there.
    But, you have to shut off the AutoAnalzyer feature yourself in the Elements Organizer part of the program. To do that:
    1. Click on the Organizer tab in the row below the active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer.
    2. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalzyer options and turn them all off.
    3. To get back to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer
    workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
    But back to what you actually wrote
    Adobe Premiere Elements 8 "Auto Analyzer" causes Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 and 10 to freeze. How is this fixed? Uninstall your software?
    Are you saying, with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 closed, that you are having these freezing problems with the non Adobe programs mentioned OR are you multitasking with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 project open when the freeze occur in these non Adobe programs?
    In the context of an opened or closed Premere Elements program, please check to be sure, when you close Premiere Elements, that the close is reflected in the Task Manager/Processes. When Premiere Elements is closed by you, are you still seeing it displayed in Task Manager/Processes?
    We will be watching for your follow up and deciding what next based on the details that you supply.

  • Elements auto analyzer has malfunctioned and needs to close

    Every day I get messages saying Elements auto analyzer has malfunctioned and needs to close. APE9 is not even open. Howw can I stop this?

    When you go to the Organizer's Edit/Preferences/Auto Analyzer, is it set to run automatically? If so, does this problem persist if you turn it off?

  • Close elements auto analyzer

    How do I close elements auto analyzer?  I am trying to download a new camera raw version - elements 11 - and it has 2 seconds left but will go no further as the elements auto analyzer will not close. I went to organizer - edit - preferences - media analyzer - un checked run at start up but nothing has changed. Help! I have been strugggling with importing raw files from my Panasoic FZ200 for weeks and was 2 seconds to fixing it!

    Thank you! It wasn't as easy as how you presented it but with the help of a friend as well we started with what you suggested and eventually got there. It works! Now my Lightroom 4 won't import the raw from my  Lumix either but I don't think I can handle that today.

  • FYI when installing Premiere Elements - auto analyzer

    Please ignore if this is old news...
    Just noticed something.  I am running PSE8 and turned off the auto analyzer due to it slowing my system to a halt.  I recently installed Premiere Elements 8 and noticed my system ran extremely slow after that.  I opened up my task manager and found the analyzer running.  Looks like Premiere restarted the analyzer.
    Jason

    Interesting, and dangerous.  I recommend that everyone keep the Auto-Analyzer turned off.  Not only can the Auto-Analyzer hog your computer, it will corrupt your map locations, split your video clips into "scene groups" that are hard to get rid of, modify the date/time of every file, crash frequently,and litter your folders with temporary files:

  • Elements auto analyzer - what the hell???

    Hi,
    After i installed Premiere Elements (together with elements organizer) the CPU load is at 50-100% and my System disk is spammed with 30GB of data - and still not finished!!!
    in the Task Manager i found a process called "Auto elements analyzer". What the hell is this there going on??? Adobe programms a process that
    - runs in the Background and is NOT stopped, when the Programs are closed!
    - produces tons of data
    - produces immense CPU load
    - has no Explanation for what it could or shoud do
    i am really 1mm from deinstalling this crap!!!

    If you do a Google search for 'Photoshop Elements autoanalyzer', you'll find many answers including this link:

    You don't state your version of Elements, and that is important, since most of the tasks of the autoanalyzer have been removed from version 13.
    The autoanalyzer was mainly used by Premiere Elements users, so I would also ask in the dedicated forum:

  • PSE 8 Organizer and Elements Auto Analyzer Super CPU Hog

    Hi,
    I've been test driving Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8 for a couple of weeks now and have run into a really annoying behavior from the Organizer components.
    My main system...a Sony VAIO VGN SX670NC (Core 2 Duo T7700 2.4Ghz, 4GB RAM, 256GB smokin' fast Patriot Torqx Solid State Disk Drive) running 32 bit Windows 7 Ulitmate.
    I have all the current hardware and operating system updates.  PSE8 and PEE8 are updated as well.
    I only have about 28,000 JPGs...47GB approximately...on this machine.
    THE PROBLEM:  The organizer upon launch just sucks up every available CPU cycle...between the PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe and ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe processes.  Even if exited cleanly the last time Organizer was run, this happens.  I use the Windows 7 Resouce Monitor and notice that these processes seem to scan every JPG in the catalog every launch.
    AS IF THIS ISN't ENOUGH...even with a clean exit of Organizer, the ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe process keeps on running and consuming most availible CPU cycles of both processor cores.  To get my machine back I have to remember to use Task Manager to kill the ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe process after I exit Organizer.
    OH, AND REGARDING BATTERY IMPACT...needless to say this product behavior is a real battery killer...it keeps all CPU cores spinning so much it never gets to do proper power management and cuts battery life down by 2/3.
    Why does this thing have to rescan every photo every time it runs and why does it fail to stop the Analyzer?
    It makes me wonder if this product got tested before it shipped...it's such an obvious problem.
    How do I tame this thing down to make it usable>
    Thanks,
    Dwight

    Hi 99jon,
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    QUESTIONS:
    What functionality if any do I lose in Organizer if I do this?
    Does this mean if I do this I simply need to make part of my photo import process the manual running of Analyzer against selected photos?
    Does this impact sync with Photoshop.com?
    Thanks,
    Dwight

  • How do I turn off Elements Auto Analyzer in Elements 12?

    This is really maddening!  I cannot update, nor can I delete a file because this program is holding everything hostage!
    I read other information about finding it in the task manager........It is not there!
    I do not find it anywhere.  Why should I have to reboot every time I finish a project just to close it?
    I am really disappointed in Adobe for this.  Now I am sorry I bought this product.
    Anyone know the secret?

    I am not sure of the complete significance of
    This is really maddening!  I cannot update, nor can I delete a file because this program is holding everything hostage!
    But at your request, you turn off the AutoAnalzyer in the Elements Organizer 12 by going to its Edit Menu/Preferences/MediaAnalysis and disabling all the AutoAnalzyer options under that category. Typically, I delete everything there.
    After the disabling, close the program. Then reopen and...
    Double check the Task Manager/Processes after you disable the AutoAnalzyer options to assure that this feature is not opening as a process in Task Manager/Processes/named ElementsAutoAnalzyer.exe.
    Please let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • Auto Analyzer in Premier Elements 11

    I've never before owned or used any video software.   I just purchased and installed Premier Elements 11.
    I searched for "Updates", which the program found.  After starting to download, I received an error dialog to the effect of: -- cannot proceed; must first uninstall "Elements Auto Analyzer".
    What the heck was that, I thought.  I had no idea, but I am familiar with the Windows boot procedure, so I went to "msconfig>Startup", and sure enough, I found "Elements Auto Analyzer".  I unchecked it, closed msconfig, and rebooted the computer.  Now that "Elements Auto Analyzer" was not running, the update to Premier Elements 11 downloaded and installed without a problem.
    Ok, I am familiar with Windows’ "msconfig"; but what about others?  How do most people update Premier Elements 11?  So I rooted around as I was exploring this brand-new-to-me program.  I stumbled upon "Organizer>Media Analysis>Run Analyzer on System Startup", and its associated checkbox.
    So I ask, what is this Media Analysis tool?  Should I leave the box checked, knowing that it then loads this Auto Analyzer tool upon every system startup?  Or should I uncheck the box so that the Auto Analyzer does not automatically load.
    If helpful, know that I purchased Premier Elements 11 for the purpose of capturing, editing and burning DVDs from video on my old VHS tapes.
    Thank you for your assistance,
    Howard

    As I use a similar program, Adobe Bridge (with Premiere Pro, Photoshop, InDesign, etc.), I am only speculating a bit here.
    I would run Auto Analyzer one time (might take a bit, depending on the number of Images and Videos on one's system and the speed of the computer), to establish the Albums (or whatever they are called in Organizer), and then turn it OFF, so it does not fire up, whenever an Image, or Video is added to the system, then run it once more, manually, before using Organizer with PrE. I do not like having a lot of programs running in the background, especially if the are likely to pop up and begin cataloging, whenever I make a simple change, like Coping over some Video files from a flash card. I want complete control.
    Now, Steve, who is the guru, on all things PrE, might have different advice, so go with his, over mine, any day.
    Happy editing,

  • Auto-analyzer crashes in Premiere Elements 12

    I'm loading a number of home videos to my computer.  I've imported a bunch of DV tapes that were recorded direclty on DV successfully; now I'm importing DV tapes that were originally recorded on 8mm tapes, and were transferred to DV tapes.  As a result, there is no timecode on the tapes to identify scene changes.
    So I'm importing them in the "Expert" mode and have selected to split scenes by content.  It appears that this is done using the Auto-Analyzer.  However, the auto-analyzer never completes its process, it always crashes on these tapes (I'm now 4 crashes on 4 tapes).  The video (one hours' worth) is imported to the computer successfully, but only as one long scene; I don't get any split scenes.
    Any ideas on how to get auto-analyzer to complete successfully, or another way to get split scenes?  System is running Win7, 8GB RAM.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Trimming clips in the Premiere Elements Preview Window with its Set In and Set Out points is not an automatic process. So, you do not want it.
    And, the AutoAnalyzer feature is not able to detect scenes in your footage. So where does that leave us?
    No scenes detected....
    1, Have you tried capturing your footage into a program such as Windows Live Movie Maker/Movie Maker or other capturing program to determine if any program can detect and split the scenes in your videos on a consistent basis?
    2. Have you disabled the AutoAnalzyer options in Elements Organizer preferences and then done your DV Capture?
    See Elements Organizer workspace/Edit Menu/Preferences/MediaAnalysis.
    3. Have you completed your DV Capture without Split Scenes and AutoAnalzyer disabled, taken your capture into Project Assets, clicked on Run AutoAnalyzer, and gotten scene detection and scene splitting?
    General Comments
    I do not believe that the AutoAnalzyer was ever intended as a video splitting tool, rather a "Smart Tagger" and might split video clips in the process. Today it is a last resort for those who seek it to split video into scenes according to content AFTER capture/import. Please check out one explanation of the AutoAnalzyer and what it is supposed to be doing.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4551932
    In much earlier versions of Premiere Elements, the Premiere Elements Capture Window had a Split Scenes by Timecode or Content option and an AutoAnalzyer option. Most recommended that the AutoAnalzyer option not be used in that case because of numerous problems associated with it use there. So, based on that, I am not sure how the program is programmed to differientiate between Split Scenes by Content and AutoAnalzyer's side effect of trying to split video clips into scenes by content.
    I work with the AutoAnalyzer disable in the Elements Organizer preferences. And, you the feature on an "on demand" basis when needed. I do not do any DV or HDV firewire captures. If I leave the AutoAnalzyer enabled in Elements Organizer preferences, I find my video split into clip and stacked. I do not want that.
    I have not explored capture utilities first hand so I cannot speak to that other than if I did a Google search.
    Please review the above, and please update us on your progress.
    Thank you.
