Elements Pixilated

Hello,
I have created a slide show in Photoshop Elements 10 using the slide show option. When I view the photos/slides above the timeline, they are clear. When I click Full Screen Preview, the slides are pixilated. Why is this happening and how can I correct it?
I would also like to take this slide show and burn it to a DVD with a play menu so that when you put the DVD in a DVD player, it does not just start playing, you have to select play.

When you output to PRE your project opens as a single item in the Sceneline.
If you want to do further editing, to individual photos right click on the project in the Sceneline and choose “Break Open PSE Slideshow”
You can also add a music track unless you did that in PSE.
When you are done click share and choose the disk option to burn a DVD.
Insert your blank disk and click the rescan button to ensure the DVD drive is properly recognized.
Choose your pre-set, normally NTSC or PAL widescreen.
Then uncheck the box “fit to available space”
It’s then possible to push the quality slider all the way to the right.
Then click Burn.

When I insert photos into Premiere Elements timeline they become pixilated. Has anyone a remedy?

The photos I insert into the timeline in Elements become pixilated. They looked fine in the organiser. Has anyone a remedy to this problem please?

Judie Sutton
Thanks for the additional information.
If rendering the Timeline content of those photos does not resolve the photo pixelation issue as per SG's question, then please read on.
a. Do you have a mixed Timeline of photos and video? If so, what is the format of the video and how many of these
2799 x 3500 photos are included? Do you get photo pixelation whether you have 1 or many of these photos on the Timeline?
b. What happens to the Edit area monitor view of one of these photos if you right click the Edit area monitor, select Playback Quality, and then compare the choices of Automatic vs Highest Quality? If you right click the Edit area monitor and select Magnification, do you find the Magnification set at the default "Fit"?
c. Have the photos been edited in Photoshop before being imported in Premiere Elements. If so, what was the extent of the Photoshop editing including effects applied and color profile?
More later depending on your results and follow up.
Thanks.

If this is an all photos project, I would suggest the project preset of the following in your case
PAL
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p25.

Video Preview Pixilated in Premiere Elements 8.0

All of my home movies captured on MiniDV using a Panasonic PV-GS400 in Standard 4:3 are distorted in the preview video in Premiere Elements 8.0. They worked fine in PE 2.0 and were in fact captured using PE 2.0. I've verified that the Projects setting are NTSC DV Standard but the previews are still pixilated to the point that they are unrecognizable.
I know if I re-install PE 2.0 they will work fine. How do I get the previews working properly in 8.0.

Something is wrong somewhere. The capture systems for miniDV in versions 2 and 8 virtually identical. The video is not in any way changed between camcorder and computer. You can capture in version 2, version 8, Windows MovieMaker or WinDV and your AVIs will be identical.
You say you ensured that your version 8 project is set up as 4:3. I also note that you say the PREVIEW is what looks distorted.
Try taking the video in version 8 and Share/Personal Computer to save it as an AVI, WMV or MOV. Have a look at that and see if this output looks distorted.
If it, too, is distorted, we'll know there's something wrong in the program settings. If not, we'll know that something is wrong with your preview window.
Finally, you don't say if your video is squished long or squished tall, but that can make a difference too. If, for instance, your video is squished tall in your preview, note if there are black letterboxing bars along the sides. If so, the problem could be in the project settings you used to capture or even shoot the video!

My Video look blurry and Pixilated in Premiere Elements 10

I am starting to work on a new video using Adobe Premiere Elements 10. I just purchased a new Toshiba Satellite L855 laptop. It has an Intel Core i5-2450M Processor running at 2.5 GHz. I have 6 GB of RAM and over 500 GB of free space. I am running Window 7 with 64-bit operating system. The files I am placing in my video are MP4 Video (.mp4), MPEG Movie Clip (.MOD), and Video file (.wmv). The videos look great when I play them on my computer, but when I import them into Adobe Premier Elements 10, they are blurry and pixilated. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help you can give me.

I'm not sure, but I think I know the answer. And, I have a very similar computer.
Is there a red line above the time line? There should be when you are using multiple file types.
When you start a new project you asked for a "project preset". PrE10 uses that to make preview video for the editing process. If there is a mismatch between your preset and the first clip you bring into PrE10, it asks you to change so they match. With three file types, it can only be right for one. When you bring in clips of the other two types, PrE10 has to "preview render" in order make the monitor previews run smoothly. It does not do that automatically. It puts a red line above the clips that need it. Then anytime you press the Enter key, it will stop everything and "preview render" your content. It can take awhile. But, after that, your preview should look better.
You didn't say what the target output will be. When you work through to the Share menu and select what you are going to make, PrE10 goes to work doing a "final render". That's because what is needed for a Blu-Ray is different than for a DVD or posting to YouTube is different than making video for a website. The "final render" starts all over and uses you project as markers and paths to your original clips. It goes though frame by frame and makes new frames using the "final render" settings. And, it can take its time doing it!
Unless you buy a super computer, you may have to put up with a little less than perfect in the preview window. The real test is how the final output looks on the device you want to use as a viewer.

Elements 10 Editor - Everything's Pixilated! Help!

I have one of the retina display macbooks. Maybe this is an issue? Any image I import, regardless of its resolution is getting pixilated. Didn't do this before. Didn't tweak any settings. I'm lost. I'm running the software on a non-retina display desktop and everything's fine. On the macbook, this is what I'm getting, all chunky monkey blah:
I've tried a reainstall twice. Any help or advice would be grand. Thanks!

I would also check your retina display settings and see if anything's changed.
I don't have a retina display on a mac, but there must be some settings to tell the display what to do with applications that don't support retina displays.
Another thing i notice from your screenshot is the anti-alias setting in the tool options bar appears to be off which can cause the text to be even more pixelated.

Premiere Elements 9 - editing in low-res then rendering in HD

Hi all,
Just started using Adobe Premiere Elements 9, editing together a 3 minute music video (so not an epic!). Half way throughand having all sorts of problems as the footage is running slowly or not running at all.
Just bought a brand new laptop with i5 core processor, 4 G RAM and 7,200 rpm, so don't think hardware is the problem.
Question 1.
How can I edit in a low res version and then render in HD (is this called editing by proxy?)? A friend with Premiere Pro said there should be a very simple button that does this. It would seem a basic requirement of any video-editing software. But I can't find how to do it and the only internet search have brought up very confusing and long-winded processes.
Question 2.
Having trouble rendering. I tried rendering as a WMV and the image was very pixilated even though it looks fine on the editing screen. File size was also huge and computer struggled to render it. Also tried FLV, which didn't work at all.
Would appreciate help as I've put hours into the editing process already.
Many thanks,
Christina

>don't think hardware is the problem.
If you want to open and edit a single photoshop picture file... you are fine
For video (which is, in effect, 30 picture files per second, plus sound) you are not fine at all
Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708?tstart=0 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for video editing
Steve Grisetti in the Premiere Elements forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856208?tstart=0 and Jim Simon in the Premiere Pro forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856433?tstart=0 use USB externals for editing
A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used this eSata Dock... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers

Has Adobe solved the crashing issues for Premiere Elements 10?

Hi there,
I've been using Adobe Premiere Elements 8 for about 2 years now. I do like this program and appreciate it being quite a straight forward, uncomplicated, video editing program. One thing which really annoys me about it, however, is its constant tendency to just crash when I import and move around *.jpg images using motion tracking, or just dragging something around the screen. For example, I film myself walking into a room with my hand pretending to hold a balloon. I then import a *.jpg image of a balloon into the shot and move to position it in my hand as though it's really there.
My intention is to edit the balloon image to follow my hand while I'm in the room and, while I could use the motion tracking feature, I prefer to edit frame by frame, or else the *.jpg image doesn't always line up properly with what it's following (it's close enough, but I prefer doing it myself).
Whenever I move an imported *.jpg image on the screen, it obviously becomes blocky for a moment until you wait for the image to become clear (I think pixilated is the right term, but am not certain) or unblocky (ie curved edges, which moved and became square, become curved again).
What Premiere Elements 8 has been doing on my computer (which has an i5 processor, more than enough memory and so forth) is to crash out of the program when I drag an image across the screen.
It has helped to move a picture slightly, wait for it to become clear, then move it slightly again, but this still has a tendency to cause Premiere Elements to crash out.
CAN ANYONE tell me, please, if Adobe Premiere Elements 10 has this or similar issues because this problem alone is driving me crazy?
Advance thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
Many users felt that PrE 8 was a very weak release (kind of like Adobe's version of MS's Vista OS), but most users, with properly setup and tuned computers, find that PrE 10 is a very stable build.
For the issues with PrE 8 crashing, I would see this ARTICLE. It starts with a checklist on setting up PrE and the computer, for best results. Then, it goes into many tuneup tips, for both the computer, and the OS. Finally, it lists links to help with troubleshooting.
Good luck, and hope that something in the article helps,
Hunt

Adobe Premiere 7 video turns blurry / pixilated upon export. How do I get a high quality export?

Hello. I am editing a video in Adobe Elements 7.0. The footage is standard definition. I am ready to export the video, but when I do this the video comes out blurry or pixilated looking. The footage looks clear when I am actually editing it, but when I export it something goes wrong. I need one export in Flash (which will later be posted on the web) and one export as a Windows Media File or MPEG so it can be viewed internally on our office computers. I have played with copious settings, formats, compressions, etc. How do I export non-blurry, high quality, clear videos?
Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I really appreciate it.

Hi Mr. Hunt! Thank you so much for responding. I really appreciate it.
What is my project preset? That's a great question. My settings are:
General:
Editing Mode: DV NTSC
Timebase: 29.97 frames per second
Video:
Frame Size: 720 horizontal x 480 vertical
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC (0.9)
Fields: lower field first
Display format: 30fps drop frame timecode
Title Safe Area: 20% horizontal and vertical
Action safe: 10% horizontal and vertical
Capture:
Capture Format: HDV Capture (Footage/tape is SD, camera is HD, does this impact anything?)
Video Rendering:
Maximum bit depth - box is NOT checked
Previews:
File Format: DV NTSC
Compressor: DV NTSC
Color Depth: millions of colors
Optimize stills - box IS checked
Footage is shot on a Canon XHA1 Hi-def camera, but on standard definition tapes. Footage is shot drop frame.
Does that answer your question? If not, where would I go to find my presets?
I'll have to check out MS Windows Media Encoder.

Questions about Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

Can Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 show a pixillated version of a subject? Can it show just the edges of the subject?

Those effects are in the Filters palette in Expert mode.
Suggestion: download the trial version and see if that's what you want.

Premiere Elements 8 video looks bad when editing

Hi -
I'm brand new to Premiere Elements 8 - in fact just installed it on an HP/Compaq 6530b laptop running Windows Vista (32 bit). Initially, I tried to edit a Flip video (MPG4) and also a Flip video that I converted to AVI. I also have a new Canon Vixia HF M31; regardless of what video I use, the video editing window looks horrible. There's a "double image" - the one on top is heavy green and there's another "double image" of the video below it that looks better but is below the green-shaded video (see inserted image below). I'm wondering if it's an issue with the laptop, especially since multiple video formats have the same problem. Where do I begin to resolve this?
NOTE: I've taken this same video and it looks fine with Windows Movie Maker (at least the MPG4 - haven't tried the Vixia .MTS video yet as I'm guessing it won't work with Movie Maker).
Thanks,
Calvin

Thanks Bill and everyone else. I appreciate all of your thoughtful responses.
I've tried PE8 on my personal desktop PC (though its only a trial b/c my corporation has a license for PE8 but only for PC managed on our network) and things look much better, other than that annoying "Trial version" banner inserted on my videos.
I've render some video of my daughter playing volleyball as a PC-based media file and I'm pretty surprised at all the presets available and how using one of the various MPEG2 or NTCS presets makes a huge difference in the quality of the video. Where can I read more about this? What I do notice is the MPEG2 video looks very clear but is choppy when the camera is moving while the NTSC that I used is a bit pixilated but the video is not choppy when the camera is moving.
In the end, I'm trying to decide if PE8 is for me - this is my first HD camcorder and in the past I was happy with Pinnacle (way back on Version 10); I've heard that really it's down to PE8 or Sony Vegas. I'll keep doing research and I think there's a trial download of Vegas but I always appreciate the advice of experts.
Thanks again!

Need Help On Adobe Premiere elements 12

I have made a recording on my DVR and captured it onto my laptop with the Hauppauge capture device without a problem I have edited it with the Premiere elements but upon reviewing it it looks a little more pixilated than the original.
What are the correct settings to finalize it without it seeming so pixilated Im looking to save it to a external hard drive Thanks

YouTube won't allow you to upload a video that long directly from Premiere Elements.
If you've got a modified YouTube account that allows longer videos, you can do so by manually uploading a video you output using Publish & Share/Computer/AVCHD with the YouTube HD preset.

Blurry/Pixilated Slide Show

I have created a slide show in Photoshop Elements 10. I clicked on output to send it to Premiere Elements 10 because my pictures were blurry/pixilated when I viewed them in full screen preview, but were not blurry/pixilated in the screen above the timeline.
Once I had my slide show in Premiere, I finished making edits, created a DVD menu for it and went to burn it to a DVD. None of the pictures were blurry in the screen above the sceneline. When I got to the burn DVD menu, I unchecked the box "fit to available space" and slid the quality slider all the way to the right. Most of the pictures were fine, but some are still blurry/pixilated.
Why is this happening and how can I correct it? Please provided details as I am still new to Premiere Elements.

Asking the same question twice is unlikely to get you a better response. These are community forums where we're all just users trying to help each other out. If you require urgent attention to your problem you should go directly to paid Adobe support (click their icon at the top of any page).

Compatibility of Premiere Elements 12 with Yosemite

I have just purchased a 27inch iMac with Retina 5 k display. It has Yosemite installed. I have imported photos from iPhoto into Premiere Elements 12. The quality of the photos is good until I click play. Immediately the pictures become pixilated. Is Premiere Elements 12 compatible with Yosemite and how do I stop the pixilation?
GeeBee

PSE 12 is compatible with Yosemite if you update to 10.10.1, but it isn't optimized for retina displays. PSE 13 is, but only to a certain extent.
