Elements import freezes at 82%

I am trying to import my photos from my pictures library and the program freezes at 82%. I have windows 7 64 bit, 8 gig ram, 750 gig SSD combo drive.
Anyone have any suggestions?

What are the file types that you are trying to import? Also can you try following things:-
1) Try to import a small set of media and then see if it freezes
2) Try to import all media in a new catalog.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 freezing and creating 1000s of tmp files when saving images

    Photoshop Elements 11 freezes up and then continues to create 1000s and 1000s AND 1000s of tmp files in the same location as I was trying to save the jpg. Any ideas on what is going on?

    GO to Edit->Preferences and you will see Reset Preferences on next launch

  • Photoshop Elements 11 freezes when selecting Photomerge

    Photoshop Elements 11 freezes after selecting images in the tray and then selecting Photomerge/Group Shot or Photomerge/Scene Cleaner.  The program does not respond and then exits after Windows checks for a solution.  I tried this with 2 images of size 3000x2000.  The system is Win7, Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 10GB free SSD and >500GB HDD (set in Edit/Preferences).
    Since the app freezes immediately I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem. 
    Any help would be appreciated.

      Are you able to drag a source image into the editing window or select any of the tools e.g. pencil or eraser. If not use the menu in Expert mode and go to:
    Edit >> Preferences >> General
    Click the button “Reset Preferences on next launch”
    Then close the application and re-start.
    Let us know if that makes any difference.

  • PS elements 12 freezing when doing selective color and having to force quit on Mac.

    PS elements 12 freezing when doing selective color and having to force quit on Mac.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times and that did not work.  I've changed preferences and that did not work and i tried hitting shift+command and option at start up of program and that did not fix the problem either.

    Hi,
    We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
    In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
    1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
    2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
    Plug-in installation instructions:
    1. Close Photoshop Elements
    2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
    3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
    • For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    • For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
    Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
    If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
    Hope this helps!

  • Photoshop elements 11 freezes when I try to back up the catalogue. i get a message "Please wait while Elements Organizer prepares for backup". what do i do?

    Photoshop elements 11 freezes when I try to back up the catalogue. i get a message "Please wait while Elements Organizer prepares for backup". what do i do?

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • Photoshop elements 12 freezes my computor

    why does photoshop elements 12 freeze up when I'm in the editor.  I'm using a surface pro tablet and I can't get out of the program.   this happens frequently but not always   thanks

    As John points out, you have posted in the wrong forum if your program is Photoshop Elements 12 (photo editor).
    You can repost the thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. See John's link to it. Or you could wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there. I suspect that the quicker route is for you to repost the thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum with lots of details.
    What you have posted so far is not really enough to get to the core of the issue in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum..

  • Can Premier Elements Import Subtitle files?

    Can Premier Elements Import Subtitle files in one of the following formats (DFXP, SBV, SRT, SSI, TXT, VTT)?
    Thank you,

    No. Premiere Elements does not support subtitles. If you want subtitles you can workaround it by having two versions of your video, one with text added to the video track and one without - but you wouldn't be able to toggle between them during playback.

  • Elements 9 freezing up after loading project and wont load up dates

    help, elements 9 freezing up after loading project .

    Unitedmoviemaker
    Have you looked at any possible involvement of the antivirus program in the way of recent updates for it? Recent Windows Updates? Can we assumed that you have not added, subtracted any programs that would coincide with the onset of the issue?
    Have you checked to make sure that your video card is up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card?
    Recently, with Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA video card, answers have come from rolling back the driver.
    I guess you tried the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file deletion. But, did you try deleting the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists?
    Do you have the Premiere Elements 9 installation disc for installations files in case a deactivation, uninstall, run through of ccleaner, reinstall is indicated?
    But, let me backup for a moment. Is this issue confined to one previously created project or to all your Premiere Elements projects either new or old?
    Let us start here and then move forward according to your answers.
    Thanks.

    Add On...Usual...confirm that you have the latest version of QuickTime installed, you are running the program as the 9.0.1 Update, and you are running the program Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges.

  • Premiere Elements 12 Freezes

    Hi There,
    We are trying Premiere Elements 12 (Expert Mode).
    It seems very nice but, in various places it just freezes, no specific area in Elements, so could be importing a clip or just adding an effect...
    The 1st PC we tried it on is Windows 7 x64 - fully Windows patched, (also with Manufacturers patches, BIOS etc etc) with lots of software installed, ESET AV, lots of RAM and Processor power, checked clean of any Malware
    I have also tried the same new download on a new PC (VM) with just Win 7 (x64) Ultimate, fully patched and no other software installed.
    Same problem.
    I have read in this form questions about Quicktime versions etc. On the main host Quicktime is installed, in the VM not.
    My thinking (why I tried a VM) is that the VM is as clean a possible it just has Premiere Elements 12 and Photoshop Elements 12, to try and negate conflicts with other software.
    Local user is Administrator, have also tried with Run As Admin..
    Anything else we can try peeps ?
    Cheers,
    LM

    Thanks for the follow up with all the details...
    Continuing in the real computer environment Windows 7 64 bit.....
    Preliminary
    From what you wrote, you have GoPro Black 1280 x 720 @ 50 progressive frames per second video and you or the project have set
    PAL/AVCHD/AVCHD 1080p50 as the project preset. So far so good.
    When you import one of these GoPro Black clips into this project, do you see no colored line or an orange line over the Timeline
    content? Assuming no colored line for the moment...
    a. right click the Timeline file, select Time Stretch, and then, in the Time Stretch dialog, change the Speed % to 99. Click OK. Now render the Timeline content which should be displaying with an orange line over its content. After this Timeline rendering is completed (color of line goes from orange to green), is the editing performance same or improved? (The rationale behind this was to force Timeline rendering rather than to apply any Time Stretch Speed% changes to the file.
    If the above does not result in improved performance associated with the GoPro Black clip editing, delete the 720p50 from the project and import
    a. 1080p25 from the GoPro Black
    and next
    b. jpg photos
    For each of the above, do you encounter the same Timeline freezing episodes as with the GoPro Black 720p50?
    In what you have written, the freezing is independent of file size and file duration. Is that correct? Does that observation have limits?
    Depending on your results, would you consider posting a sample of your GoPro Black 720p50 via a Dropbox link in a reply in your thread?
    As a cross check, I was be glad for the opportunity to work with it in my computer environment of Windows 7 64 bit/Windows 8.1 64 bit on a variety of Premiere Elements versions including 12/12.1.
    Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome. We will go into computer optimization considerations next.
    Thank you.

  • Rendered video in Premiere Elements 13 freezes...

    Hello all, this is my first Premiere Elements software since 1.0 lol.  Anyway, before I render a video it plays nice and smooth.  After I render it, the video playback freezes while the audio continues to play.  How do I fix this?  I have an i7-410U 2 Ghz CPU, an Nvidia GeForce 840M 2 GB video card, 8 GB of memory, 900 GB of free space on my HDD, and Windows 8.1.  Thanks for your help.

    AndyD74
    Thanks for the follow up replies.
    Your Edit Menu/Project Settings/General readings suggest that you or the project have not set the correct project preset for the project. If the Canon is the major source of your Timeline content, then the project should not be 1080i (the project's default). It should be
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR [email protected]
    You are going to have to go to a new project to correct that situation. You cannot change the project preset in 13/13.1 once the project preset has been established.
    If the project (automatically) is not giving you the correct project preset, then you need to set it yourself (manually) before you import the source media.
    File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings
    In Change Settings, set for the project preset mentioned above. OK out of there.
    In the New Project dialog that appears, rename the project and make sure there is a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". OK out of there.
    Then in the workspace, import your source media with Add Media/
    Another factor is the custom made intro that I created in Aurora3d Title Animation. What are its properties and how do they compare with those of the Canon's 1080p29.97. If you remove the Title Animation from the Timeline, do the problems disappear even with the DSLR project preset pointed to?
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • Photoshop Elements 6 Freezing, I need help, please.

    I got the program along with the Wacom Tablet I got, not too long back.
    It worked for a while, but then started freezing at random moments.
    But now, I can never open it without it freezing about 30 seconds after launch.
    I checked the FAQ's and Trouble-Shooting section, but everything seems in order.
    I just updated my Mac (10.5.6) and I have high enough Ram.
    It's not the disk and I haven't messed with the folder it came in since I installed it.
    (Didn't touch it then either)
    Oh, and I have updated the program itself to the latest udate I can get.
    The only thing I haven't tryed is Uninstall and reinstall it.
    This program was really helpful when I could use it, and I would love to be able to use it again.
    Thanks for the help.

    >(10.5.6)
    Why? Why not 10.5.8?
    In any case, go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 settings
    Opera preferences (if you have it)
    Repair permissions and try again. If it still crashes to go Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 6>Plug-ins>import/export and delete the adobe TWAIN driver (note that if you have an epson scanner it may not work properly after doing this).

  • Elements 6 Freezes with RAW images

    I am about at my wits end here.  My computer is about 3 years old, but has all the required minimum's necessary to run Elements.  I've never had a problem with it until recently when I started shooting in RAW.  Elements will show images imported as broken links and will freeze up.  I've done every update possible, have tried repairing elements issues, uninstalled & reinstalled, and am still having issues.
    Any ideas as to what could be causing this?
    Thanks. 

    It sounds like you may have encountered a known bug with how the PSE 6 Organizer handles raw images.  If deleting the Organizer preferences doesn't work, then take a look at this tech note:

  • Photoshop elements 6 freezes

    Hi friends, I need some help...
    Photoshop Elements 6 always freezes when trying to edit/fix any picture (guided edit, full edit, etc.)
    I´ve uninstalled and installed again and again, but always the same.
    Please, give me some advice here ¡!
    Thanks in advance.

    ...it was the catalog that was somehow corrupted
    Thanks everybody for your help !!!!!!!!!!!!!
    And ok, I'm going to think about upgrading the HD...
    Thanks again,
    Carlos
    _cut & paste for the solution provided by Johnrellis_
    Repair or create a catalog if the Organizer wont start
    Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen. Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys and click Organize. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window. Select your catalog and click Repair. Select repair anyway even if PSE doesnt find problems. Then for good measure, click Optimize. (The documentation says that Optimize merely optimizes the performance of your catalog, but some people have reported that it also enabled catalog conversion to proceed after they initially encountered errors.)
    If youve changed PSE 6 to start in the Organizer or Editor and thus cant get to the Welcome screen, start the Editor, do Window > Welcome, and in the lower-left corner change it back to Start Up With Welcome Screen.
    If repairing the catalog doesnt help, repeat the steps above, but instead of clicking Repair, click New to create a new test catalog. If youre able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works correctly, then theres likely something about the old catalog that is corrupted in some other way. In that case, try recreating the Organizers thumbnails.

  • DVD burned in Premiere Elements 4 freezes on playback

    I have a Dell with Windows Vista Home Premium and I use Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 for video editing.  Recently, I've encounterd a problem with my burned DVDs freezing during playback, especially near menu markers, on a variety of stand alone DVD players.
    I've been searching various forums to find a solution.  I was told it was a problem with cheap media so I've tried various name brands on the DVDs with no cure.  I was told to reduce the burn speed on the DVD recorder, but  I have no idea how to change the burn speed on the DVD recorder  I was also told to burn the project to a DVD folder and then import it into the software thant came with the DVD recorder.  I burned the PE4 project to a DVD folder but can't figure out how to open it in Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 in order to try a different burning software.
    So how do I change burn speed on the PC's DVD recorder?  How do I open the PE4 project in Roxio?  Can anyone recommend another solution?

    Don't discount any of the posted suggestions, but I work with VOB type files often, and here's what I found works best (for me any way).
    When and if at all possible, always convert VOB type files to DV-AVI, then import this into PE for editing.
    First you need to combine all the VOB's off of one DVD disc into one large VOB file.
    This will eliminate the OOS (out-of-sync) issues you are seeing between audio and video.
    View this link for details:
    http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2469
    Once combined, then use Prism to convert the single VOB into the DV-AVI format.
    Use this FAQ link for Prism or Win Movie Maker convert options:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0
    I have found large VOB and MPG files to be a challenge to work with within PE, but once converted via the method described, PE is very stabile and the editing experience goes up an order of magnatude.
    Convert the VOB's, trust me on this one...
