Every video produced by Premier Elements 11 is blury and out of focus.

When I try to create a video with Premier Elements 11 and an MTS file from my video camera, the resulting videos are blurred and out of focus. The MTS is clear and looks good. Plays on any supported video player. Have tried to convert to AVI as well as creating DVD with the same results. This is the case with any input file, not only one. How can I get a focused, clear video?

The answers are in the details.
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running on?
What are the properties of these .mts source files
Video compression
Audio compression
Frame size
Frame rate
Interlaced or Progressive
File extension
Pixel Aspect ratio
What is the brand/model/setting of the camera recording the source media?
What are you or the project setting as the project preset (which should match the properties of the source media)
See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio (even if they appear to be grayed out)
When you are viewing the Timeline content in the Edit area monitor is the playback blurry and out of focus?
Or is the blurry and out of focus only in your exports? If only in exports, then we need to dig into your export choices in Publish+Share/.
Is your computer optimized and is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of your video card?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Any questions or need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

When using video camera on iPad 3 screen keeps going in and out of focus

Every time I use my video camera the image goes in and out of focus making the blurry there seems to be no settings to stop this help.

At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.

In and Out of focus video. Please help!!!

I exported my fce movie to a quicktime movie (which looked fine on the computer) and then imported to idvd ( which stilled looked fine on my computer) and burned it to a dvd to play on TV and then the video goes in and out of focus when the Lacrosse players move. Why does this happen??

Hi - my notes on this - might be of help
*FCE/P to iDVD*
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
*How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do*
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mixdown
• Save out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not self-contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
*Free space on Start-up hard disk*
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
*Brand and type of DVDs used*
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
*Burn speed set*
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
*iDVD BUG*
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
*Use of Chapters*
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it stlf
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
*Material used to build movie*
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this eg .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Trash iDVD pref file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screensaving

Video Quality in Premier Elements 9

My system has an Asus P6T motherboard, Nvidia Geforce GT 240, Intel core i7 930 @2.8ghz, 6gb ram, widndows 7 64 bit with x86 of course, and I installed Premier Elements 9. I have tried several video formats and I am able to browse to them with the get media as they are on my hard drive. Each time I add the file o the timeline/scenline and play them the video quality is very poor. I have tried WMV, AVI, and MOD files. When I pause the video the resolution of the still frame is perfectly clear but when I begin to play the video it becomes jagged and unclear again. What gives?

>How should I determine what preset I should use for specific file types?
That is by knowing what CODEC is used inside the file

Uploading a Youtube video to Adobe Premier Elements 11

How do I upload a Youtube video to Adobe Premeire Elements 11 so I can edit it?

popto
It sounds like a download rather than an upload from YouTube that you are asking about. Please read on.
Are you asking how to get the video that is currently displaying on YouTube onto your computer and into Premiere Elements 11 for you to edit and export as you want - YouTube again or otherwise?
If so, the important question is "Is that video yours or someone else's?"
If it is someone else's then see the YouTube licensing agree which I believe does not allow for that without its approval and consent.
If it is your video, did you delete or lose the original that you uploaded to YouTube in the first place? If you have that project saved, there is no reason why you cannot just edite that Timeline and upload the edited version to YouTube. At YouTube web site you can leave the original there or delete it once the edited version of it is uploaded there.
Please supply more details.
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements running on?
Thanks.

Premier Elements 4 very slow and frequently crash

Dear Adobe support staff,
I've purchased Adobe Premier Elements 4 several yeard ago for an urgnet job I made.
I didn't use it much because it crashes all the time, and it is very very slow and frustrating. So I've used other software instead.
Needless to say that I was very dissappointed.
Now, I want to give it a second chance. but it stiil keep crashing and still very very slow.
My questions:
1. Why does it crash all the time? is there is a fix for the problem?
2. What kind of Graphics Card or Video Editing Card do you recommend for my system to work relatively normal ?
3. How much will it cost me to upgrade to version 11 ?
My system SPEC:
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 ultimate with SP1 (32bit) .
CPU: INTEL Core2 QUAD cpu Q9550 , 2.83 GHZ with a 4 GB of RAM.
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT.
Motherboard: MICRO STAR INTERNATIONAL , MODEL MS-7353 3.0, CHIPSET INTEL X48,
RAM: 4 GB Dual Channel DDR2, 400 MHZ , 512 MB memory.
Please advice.
Sincerely yours,
Shimon Tourgeman.

For the crashing, this FAQ Entry might be useful. It starts with a general PrE checklist, then goes into computer and OS tuneup, and ends with many links on troubleshooting and finding causes: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0
As for the GPU, any current video card, with at least 1GB of VRAM, will work well. PrE does not place much of a load on the GPU, but it DOES rely very, very heavily on the video driver. Both nVidia and AMD/ATI issue constant driver updates, with nVidia leading the way at this moment.
Also, while talking about drivers, some users have experienced issues with Win8 drivers. I would wait until SP1 has been released for Win8, before changing to it from Win7. For this reason, I just ordered a new laptop, and specified Win7. As the company, ADK, only builds custom and semi-custom video editing machines, they commented that they will ONLY install Win7 at this time, and have been testing Win8, since the first beta. They do not think that it is yet ready for "prime time."
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I still use PrE 4.0, but on XP-Pro SP3, and have only crashed it 2-3 times over the years. At least 2 times, it was due to OE on my part. However, my computer is tuned and built for video editing.

Once firefox 4.o was installed, full screen video produced white screen. Had to exit and and restart video. Using a mac os 10.5. Disabling hardware acceleration did not fix. went back to firefox 3.6 and all is ok. Any help would be appreciated.

Once firefox 4.o was installed, when switching to full screen while watching any internet video produced a white screen but audio still playing. Switching back to small screen has a still video but audio still going. Had to exit and and restart video or open a blank new new tab then delete it and then small screen video would play. Using a mac os 10.5. Disabling hardware acceleration did not fix. went back to firefox 3.6 and all is ok. Any help would be appreciated.

Your hardware was never designed to run that old a version of OS X, it's best to update the application or find another application that is more up to date. Installing Leopard simply will not work on your system.

Elements Organizer 12 doesn't generate thumbnails for .mpg videos produced by Premiere Elements

I just upgraded from Elements+Premiere 11 to version 12, on Windows 8.1 x64.
I produced a 1st .mpg file (HDTV 1080p 25 img/s), and imported it in Elements Organizer.
Unfortunately, the Organizer doesn't generate any thumbnail for the file.
This is a new "behavior" of the Organizer 12, because the Organizer 11 use to generate thumbnails properly.
I tried to manually update the thumbnail (right click), but after waiting several seconds, there is still no thumbnail appearing.

Here are the results from my test of your situation where you tried to import 3 Premiere Elements 12 created files into the Elements Organizer 12 after their creation and save to the hard drive.
The 3 files from Premiere Elements 12 were
Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG with Presets = HDTV 1080p25 High Quality
Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG with Presets = HDTV 720p25 High Quality
Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG with Presets = HD 720p25
The same scheme was used for each, and the results were the same for each...
Imported into Elements Organizer 12, File Menu/Photos and Videos/Files and Folders.
In the Elements Organizer 12, each imported with a thumbnail displaying only a filmstrip icon.
Next I double click the thumbnail and got playback of the video in the Elements Organizer 12 without issue.
Next I right clicked the thumbnail and selected Update Thumbnail. It did within a few seconds. The thumbnail then displayed the first frame of the video.
I ran this test on a laptop with Windows 8.1 64 bit computer operating system. Installed on this computer along with Premiere Elements 12...QuickTime latest version, iTunes latest version, a PowerDVD player. Windows Media Player 12 appeared to be there but not yet activated. No VLC player or other.
For the moment I am assuming that codec were essentially from QuickTime and from what Premiere Elements 12 brought along.
More later.

VOB Video files play in Premier Elements but not in Organizer

I just purchased a new Dell Studio 15 Laptop, running Windows 7 (64bit), with an i7 cpu, and my VOB video files play and show a thumbnail in Premier Elements 8 but do not in the organizer. Has anyone found this problem and a solution?

Hunt
Thank you for responding so quickly. I first installed my Premier Elements 8 and Photoshop Elements 8 on our Vista desktop computer, and everything worked fine. I purchased my laptop with a high end cpu, hoping to improve performance, and moved my application over, and now I am unable to play these videos when in the Organizer, while they do play in Elements (they played in both applications on the slower Vista computer).
I tried to update premier elements to 8.0.1, (I am running 8.0) but the updater sayes no updates are available.
I created the VOB files from my old family video tapes using a Sony DVDirect DVD Recorder, model MRD-MC6 if that helps. I didnt try to strip data from the files, because I dont know how, and think I shouldnt have to, given that everything worked fine on my older Vista desktop.
One other clue- if I try to import one file at a time to the organizer, I get the following error message:
"The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed.
Perhaps the Organizer and Premier Elements use different codecs, and the on in my organizer doesnt work." Any ideas how to check if I have the proper codec(s)?

Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal Pre icon, File, Edit, Clip, etc.
I am planning on purchasing Premier Elements 13, would it be better if I bought a new program rather than download an upgrade, just in case the upgrade doesn't load properly due to the error with my existing program?
If I the deleted Premier Elements 9 on my PC would I lose all my existing videos that were produced using Premier Elements 9 or would they be saved so that they can still be worked on in Premier Elements 13?
Does Premier Elements 13 work with Windows 7?
Thanks
Terry

Premiere Elements 13 absolutely works with Windows 7!
In fact, I'd highly recommend you download the free trial and give it a test run.
Meantime, go to Windows Update and make sure you have all of the latest Windows updates, including those that don't install automatically. Then go to the nVidia or ATI site and ensure you have the latest driver for your graphics card, and go to Apple.com and ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.

Adobe Premier Elements 9 stopped working randomly, Please help!

Just recently when I try to open my Adobe Premier Elements 9 and an error message keeps popping up that says "We have detected an incompatible display driver, please update. HD Graphics 4400 3.0.0 - Build 10.18.10.3977." I went and updated the driver but every time I try to open Premier the pop up keeps popping up and when Premier does open, the video tracks on my timeline will not show on the play back screen so it makes editing impossible.
I have had this same Adobe Premier Elements 9 since 2011 and had no problems until about a few days ago.

If you are on Windows, it is VERY likely that a Windows update has changed something
Display driver & Baddriver http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1370916?tstart=0 may help
