Elements11 QUE: Why does only the audio-portion transfer to timeline when I drag a video file down.

Elements11 - 1st time user
When I drag a known good video file from the "My Videos" Folder on my laptops disk down to the "Drag Here" box in my project Timeline, only the audio portion transfers NOT the video.
I am trying to create an "Instant Movie" after watching a youtube video on the subject.
The end goal is to combine portions of three video clips into one for my sons school project.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

What version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running?
Can we assume by your selected ID, that the program is Premiere Elements 11?
Pending further details, I will assume that you are working with Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
Where is this "My Videos" Folder - on a DVD disc being used as a DataDisc for video storage purposes?
If so, Add Media/DVD Camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer and from there automatically into the project in Project Assets as well as on the Timeline.
If your "My Videos" Folder is a folder on the computer hard drive, then Add Media/Files and Folders to get the video into Project Assets from where you drag the video to the Timeline.
Now for the video that you are trying to import...what are its properties
Video Compression
Audio Compression
Frame Size
Frame Rate
Interlaced or Progressive
File Extension
Pixel Aspect Ratio
Probably answered the easiest by knowing the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video.
Prime interest, that video compression. It could be MotionJPEG which can be problematic for Premiere Elements. It could be AVCHD.avi which cannot be imported.
We can go into greater detail on your project details once we rule in or out any of the factors mentioned above.
By the way, what is the destination for this project....burn to disc DVD or Blu-ray...export to file saved to the computer hard drive...other?
More later.
Thanks.

  • Why does only the first page of seach results show, with further pages graying out?

    In a search, I may get >1,000,000,000 hits, but only the first page is readable. "Next" gives me a grayed out screen and FF freezes. Any of the offered searches at the bottom of that first screen will do the same thing. Repeated hitting "back" will clear it.
    This has been true, through all the upgrades, including a backgrade to 3.6 (?) for 64-bit. This makes FF useless as a search platform, though it is my preference, even over Chrome, if it would work.

    That does seem rather useless.
    Use Automator - it has a "PDF to Images" action that will do exactly what you need. Drop your document into the workflow, drop the "PDF to Images" action in right after that, set any options that you need (like where to save) and then click "run"
    Barring that, I've found that sometimes Adobe Reader will sometimes work well for documents that Preview can't print, and I've found some documents that Adobe Reader chokes on but Preview handles flawlessly.

  • Why does laptop stop the audio for a few seconds when I play a video then resume for the video?

    Hi I have a HP Pavilion G6 2288-ca with amd a10 vision processor. So I was playing some videos from youtube and the audio stoped and resumed a few seconds after.

    Flash is required for YouTube content.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Not empty the Safari cache.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Now try a video.

  • Why does hitting the Single Field checkbox in QT remove lines from my video?

    Hi, when reviewing my HD video's I see annoying lines. However I went into the video track and hit the Single Field checkbox and they went away. The deinterlace checkbox did absolutely nothing however. Does this simply mean the footage is progressive but quicktime was just reading it wrong initially?
    Very intereseted in knowing the answer.
    All the best
    Kevin

    Ok, maybe you can help me. I was sold some software that was meant to output progressive files in the AVI container with the MJPEG codec. I told him the software seems to be outputting interlaced files and this was his reasoning. Is he correct or is he taking me for a ride? This is a little beyond my knowledge of video systems so if anyone and help me please do.
    They are Progressive Segmented Frames (PsF). This means they are progressive frames but with their information spread across two fields of an interlaced frame. Remember, interlacing is something added to the output of video to facilitate display requirements; it doesn't exist inside your PC. Odd, yes, but this is handy because if you had a true native progressive feed and tried to watch it on a display monitor that only supported interlaced input, you would not get an image. Also, PsF streams allow you to effectively use an interlaced camera to create progressive frames because, again, in a PC or MAC, there is no such thing as interlacing and during capture of each film frame, nothing moves between fields. Everything ends up progressive though carried on interlaced fields.  
    Forget film for a moment: Even when you shoot live video with an interlaced camera, the two successive fields for each frame are ALWAYS handled as one progressive frame inside your NLE, which usually displays only one of the fields during editing while the other field just goes along for the ride unseen. When you output the file or watch it on an external video monitor, the frames are then again broken up into fields to facilitate ease of playback on a variety of displays. If you were to deinterlace that video footage on your NLE, it would drop one field and use the remaining field to artificially create the missing field information to create one progressive frame. However, the output file would then be a PsF file because, even though the frames are now progressive, they are still being carried by an interlaced medium.
    Likewise, when you use your progressive camera to create a live image, believe it or not, the video output is a PsF stream. That means the progressive frames are carried in two successive fields. The PC or Mac doesn't care that the information for each progressive frame arrives in two parts because, as mentioned earlier, the two parts are handled as one frame inside the NLE during editing.

  • TS2634 Why does only the short lightning cable supplied with my iPad work and longer cable don't?

    I have the latest iPad purchased through Kogan. It is a 64mb with retina display. It will only accept charge through the short cable supplied. I have purchased (3rd party i admit) longer cables to use for charging so I can sit at a sensible distance from a power outlet and still work on my ipad. I have now tried four separate cables from two different suppliers and none work. Curiously the last two work perfectly on wife's iPad which is identical except for being 32mb. I don't wont to now spend $25 on the longer cable now available from Apple to find the same result.  Anyone else experience this fault?

    The lightening cable is not a simple cable. It has active electronics within it and is quite clever in that the pins being used are changed depending on how the cable is being used and what is connected.
    The longer the cable, the more the level of the signals on the cable will drop. This drop is sometimes enough to properly transmit and receive power or information/data. This drop is clearly too much for your iPad so it does not work. Your wife's iPad must have a slightly better tolerance on this and therefore works but it probably only 'just' works.  iI would recommend that you do try Apple's cable as it is, no doubt, much more expensive, might have higher quality and will therefore work better.  If the cable from Apple and your iPad do not work then you have something to ask Apple about - possibly a swap of or your iPad but I would guess that the Apple cable will work.

  • Why does only the USB cable that came with my phon...

    I recently acquired a Nokia Lumia Icon from Verizon.  I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 computer running Windows 8.1 with the Windows Phone App for Desktop (WPA4D) installed.  I had a very difficult time getting my Icon to be seen by my computer when connecting it with one of the half dozen micro USB cables I have laying around.  WPA4D would not recognize it.  Then, I connected it using the USB cable that came with the phone, and WPA4D immediately recognized it.  Then I unplugged it and went back to a different cable - it was again not recognized.
    What is different about the USB cable that ships with the Nokia Lumia Icon?  If I want to order more, like from Monoprice, what do I order to get the same thing?  Why is Nokia (apparently) using some sort of proprietary cable??
    Thanks,
    Eric

    It is not proprietary.The charging/data cable for my GPS works.
    A lot of the cables are just for charging and that is all they are wired for and they don't even have the data pin. Full size USB cables are the same way.
    If I needed an extra I would get it from Nokia.

  • Why does text on certain portions of websites, usually when adjacent text contains special characters, become jumbled into seemingly random sets of characters that are not in any way jumbled when viewing the source of the webpage? How can I fix this?

    When viewing most text on most websites, it displays properly. However, there are two instances where text will either tend to, or consistently, become jumbled into a mess of seemingly random characters. Oddly enough, these seemingly random characters are not, in fact, random. The same weird character will be used to replace the same regular English text character consistently across the entire area that has been jumbled.
    The two instances where this tends to occur most often, or consistently in some cases, are, first, when a paragraph or particular section of formatted text contains special characters, such as Chinese or Japanese characters, or accented letters. When this happens, usually the paragraph that contains the special characters is completely jumbled, while the rest of the text on the page will have intermittent jumbling on a word or two. Most often, the word "the" is jumbled in this case.
    The second instance where this happens is when a website uses specially formatted text in some form or another. I, not being an expert at web development, am not sure what kind of formatting causes it, but I can provide consistent examples in lieu of my experience:
    - Example 1:
    [http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
    Example 1 shows a portion of a screen-shot of the website "Joystiq.com". Every single article title on the front page of this blog is consistently jumbled, while the text of the article itself remains untouched. Please note that when this jumbled text is highlighted, it is visible un-jumbled in the right-click menu as well as in the source code of the page. Other consistent instances can be found within many search fields on various websites. For instance, the search bar located at the top right of "Kotaku.com" consistently displays jumbled characters both on its default text of "Search" and on any text that is typed into the search box itself.
    - Example 2:
    [http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
    Example 2 shows both the jumbling of the paragraph containing the character "☆" as well as the subsequent peppering of the rest of the article's text with small jumbled words. Below this is the DOM Source of the selected text which shows how the text itself is being rendered properly within the site's source. Additionally, for convenience, I have edited on to the bottom of the image a small snippet of what the search bar on the same page looks like. Notice how the grayed-out text that normally would read "Search" is instead jumbled.
    This issue has been plaguing my browser for the past year or so, and I had hoped that it would go away with subsequent Firefox updates. It has not gone away.
    Thank you for reading! Please help!

    This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
    Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
    You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
    Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
    There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.
    Use this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
    <pre><nowiki>data:text/html,
    Helvetica<br><font face="Helvetica" size="25">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</font><br>
    Helvetica Neue<br><font face="Helvetica Neue" size="25">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</font>
    </nowiki></pre>
    You should reset the network.http prefs that show user set on the about:config page.<br />
    Not all websites support http pipelining and if they do not then you can have issues with images or other problems.

  • Why does only the left side of my headphone working after ios6 except in phone calls ?

    After i updated my software to ios6 , i realised that the right side of my headphones doesn't work with music player nor with typing, yet it does work perfectly when i am on a phone call so it's not a hardware problem ....

    thats what i meant, if the same problem persists on two headphones its the jack, but the fact that one side of the original headphones works makes me think its the headphones. plug the headphones up to the computer and see if they work then

  • Why does only the first movement of a symphony play?

    I have all of Mahler's symphonies on Itunes. I try to play them on my Ipod and the first movement of each symphony plays and then it shuts off as if the album is done. Any ideas what I did in loading these CDs onto Itunes that could cause this?
    In case you're wondering:
    Each symphony is listed as an album, with each movement as a track of that album. The disk of symphony #1 says "disk 1 of 13". Part of a compliation: No. Include when shuffling: No.
    Thanks for any help.

    The Apple guy told me yesterday that you have to RECORD it first.
    Start from the first slide and go thru all of them.
    Then they will playback.

  • Hi guys! I have a question related to the latest version of iMovie. For some reason, when I drag a video file to my project, the audio becomes slightly higher pitched. Any suggestions on how to avoid this? Thanks!

    This is iMovie 10 I believe. Thanks again!! Really appreciate the help!

    To do this in iMovie 11. use the SHARE menu. Share your project using the Share menu and choose Export Using QuickTime.
    In the Dialog box that comes up, choose Sound to AIFF, or one of the other sound options. This will create a file that you can drag into iTubes.

    You can try cleaning the headphone jack. However, I suspect that th headphone jack needs replacement.
