From Premiere Elements 4 to CS3

I am considering moving from Premiere Elements 4.0 to CS3 (on Windows Vista 32 bit). I have a couple of questions regarding the two, I'm hoping someone here may know.
1) Can CS3 read Premiere Element 4.0 projects (windows versions).
2) Is CS3 more responsive and less prone to crashing than Elements 4.0 with HD projects? While Premiere elements 4.0 renders quite quickly compared to elements 3, it seems quite a bit less stable and is more "swappy". If you load a 5-10 min HD project, it takes quite a while, and if you minimize it to go to your email or something, then go back to it, it takes quite a long time before it brings the window back up and is responsive. This really makes for a frustrating workflow. I've tried all the performance tips, changing registry entries etc, reinstalling nothing helps. It's just slow. I have a quad core Intel QX6700 processor, latest drivers for everything, 4GB of system RAM, and an NVidia 8800GTX video card, so the system is pretty fast. I'm hoping CS3 would perform better on the same system.

1) Yes but beware that media used in an Elements project must be CS3 compatible - or it will simply show as offline / unsupported when you open the elements project in CS3
2. Hmm.. My system is of lesser spec than yours but I dont have that problem. OK Premiere takes a while to load and open a project but if I then minimize it do some email (or whatever) and go back to PP - it is virtually instant - certainly less than a second. Maybe someone else here can suggest the cause

Bad output from Premiere Elements

I've tried every option but consistently the DVDs burned with my videos from Premiere Elements 11 are out of focus. this makes this software useless for me. I'm now using Photoshop Elements to generate slide shows and importing them into another video software to burn onto DVDs. What's wrong with this software???!!!

The problem isn't just that the resolution isn't as good as the source materials. It is totally out of focus and looks like a 3-D picture before you put on the glasses. My premiere 9 worked beautifully but version 11 is awful. I am still using the same input as I did with version 9, which is mostly photos with some video. As a matter of fact, most of it is Photoshop elements projects, which should work well with Premiere.
My project settings: editing mode -- HD 1080i (the default, I think)
video frame size 1920x1080
What other settings are you're looking for?
For the project I've just been working on, I ended up doing it in Windows movie maker, and I got fine results with much less effort.
I'm about to shop for another video editor. But I like the richness of options offered by Premiere and its link with elements, so would prefer to stick with it.
Thanks.

Upload problems with Facebook and Vimeo from Premiere Elements 10

I have created a project in HD and am trying to upload to Vimeo. Premiere Elements 10 does not have a preset so I followed some instructions from the Vimeo website. Project is "blurry" when viewed. I checked with Vimeo and they said what they converted matches what I sent so the problem must be in the export - bit rate may be incorrect. Can anyone give me the correct presets for Vimeo from Premiere Elements 10. I can view other people's video in HD and they look fine so I don't think it's my computer monitor. I'm sure you will need more information about my project so please give me a list of specific things you need to know. Thank you.
My Facebook problem is as follows. If I use the preset from Premiere Elements 10 to upload to Facebook it looks fine, HD quality as expected. Problem is, I would like to upload to my business page. Since the personal page and the business page (managed by my personal account) share a login, the preset always loads to my personal page. Does anyone know the values of the preset so I can upload the video to my business page. My business is event and wedding videography so I would like the posts to be as clear as possible.
If the problem with the Vimeo uploads is solved then I suppose I can just share the Vimeo file on Facebook. Thank you.

I think that you are overlooking what you already have with regard to a Vimeo HD preset for export to file for upload of the saved file at the Vimeo website.
Please see
Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = Vimeo HD
Under the Advanced Button/Video Tab, you can customize the preset further from 1280 x 720 to 1920 x 1080 and increase the bitrate, if necessary, to a level that does not give you a prohibitive file size. With Profile = Main and Level = 3.1, the bitrate range is 0.19 to 14 Mbps (megabits per second).
I would start with the default bitrates of Target = 8 Mbps and Maximium = 9 Mbps and explore and experiment from there.
If you customize the preset to 1920 x 1080 in the Export Settings customization area, then change the Profile to High and the Level to 5.1
When you do that the bitrate range will be 0.19 to 300 Mbps instead of 0.19 to 14 Mbps.
In all cases, watch for file size versus bitrate versus quality of end product.
Please give that a look and then let us know if the above resolves your Vimeo and Facebook question.
Please review and let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

How can I export a completed project from Premiere Elements?

There are a number of formats you can export from Premiere Elements. All are available under the Share tab and the major output formats are available under the Personal Computer option.
To export your completed video for use in another project, use the DV-AVI output option.
To export your video for display on the internet, use the WMV or MOV output options.

I experienced the same problem as mreingrover. The Share features of iMovie appear to be completely unimplemented.
I had had MacKeeper installed for a short while on my previous Mac; never on my new MacBook Pro. I could not find any trace of it in Application Support, Launch Daemons, or LaunchAgents, in either my user Library or the root Library. But I figured maybe there was some trace somewhere that had been copied over from the old system, so I deleted iMovie and went to reinstall it from the App Store.
Now the App Store wants $14.95 for an app that has never worked right, and which is (I think) supposed to be free with my new MacBook Pro Retina.

Moving menu template from premiere elements 4 to premiere elements 9

Last year I upgraded from premiere elements 4 to 9. I could not find a generic menu template in premiere elements 9 so I moved one from the program files of premiere elements 4 to the program files of premiere elements 9. This seemed to work okay except that the background art that I used for the main menu does not show up on the burned DVD even though it is there when viewing the project. I'm using a PC with Windows 7. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Several of the menu templates for PRE9 had problems, such as custom backgrounds ignored. A. T. Romano did a lot of work on investigating these issues.
For example:
Premiere Elements 9 Disc Menu (main/scene)
PE9 Menu background
It seems likely that whatever caused the faults in PRE9 is also tripping up with your PRE4 template. Others have reported that the problems were fixed in PRE10.
Cheers,
Neale

Unable to upload entire video clip to Youtube from Premiere Elements 10, "Share" feature

Hi all,
I just bought Premiere Elements 10 and plan to upload video to Youtube directly from Premiere Elements 10 "Share" feature. However it always uploaded about 10 to 20 seconds of my 2 minutes video only. Then it only uploded about 20 seconds video to Youtobe successfully but not the entire video clip which is about 2 minutes. Is there anyone face the same problem like me? Please help me on this matter. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Ellie

John,
The WAB (Work Area Bar) has tripped up many, and is a common issue, when the Timeline output is truncated.
Here is a look at the WAB (from PrE 4.0, but works the same in later versions):
The WAB is a great tool, when one wishes to limit the Export, or perhaps the area of the Timeline that Renders. However, many do not even notice it, and fewer understand how it works, or how to use it, and it gets in their way, if something is not set properly.
To the OP - Good luck,
Hunt

Using disc menus from Premiere Elements 4 in Premiere Elements 12

Is there any way to use a disc menu (General-GenericOne) from Premiere Elements 4 in Premiere Elements 12?

lancaster
Yes.
From your purchased Premiere Elements 4 Windows
Local Disc C
Program Files (x86)
Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0
DVD Templates
General
and in the General Folder is the Generic One Folder with the theme's assets..
1. Copy the whole Generic One Folder.
To your purchased Premiere Elements 11 Windows
Local Disc C
Program Files
Adobe
Adobe Premiere Elements 12
DVD Templates
Common Folder
in the Common Folder create a new Folder named something like "My PE4 Menu".
2. In that "My PE4 Menu" Folder paste the whole
Generic One Folder.
You should find your your Generic One choice under Tools/Movie Menu....
Been road tested. It works for me. Please let us know if that works for you also.
Thanks.

can't upload from premiere elements to youtube
created by A.T. Romano in Premiere Elements - View the full discussionjanicey For your workaround, you have been pointed to Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = YouTube Widescreen HD.The default for that preset is 1280 x 720 @ 24 progressive frames per second with a bitrate of 8 Mbps (megabits per second). If you want other than that default setting, you can customize that preset to 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 or 25 progressive frames as well under the Advanced Button Video tab of the preset. Determine if the bitrate needs adjustment and the file size is acceptable You might also want to explore using Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30 (or 25 as appropriate) and customize the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the preset. Watch the file size. If you are OK with the 1280 x 720 for quality and file size, then please disregard the suggestion for this. If you are interested in the suggestion, do not hesitate to ask questions or ask for clarification if needed.

Exporting from premiere elements 4 to premiere elements 10

I am converting over from premiere elements 4 to premiere elements 10. I Have titles that were created in 4 that I would like to use in elements 10. Is there an easy way to export from one to the other?

Welcome to the forum.
You will want to Export as a Template, into the folder of your choice. That will yield a .PRTL file, that can then be opened in PrE 10. Unfortunately, I know of no way to automate, or batch that, so you will want to launch PrE 4, and then the Project(s), Select the particular Title, and choose Export>Template (or similar syntax).
I have my personal Title Templates located in a "Hunt Titles" folder. It is then available to PrE and PrPro.
Good luck,
Hunt

It has been the case that you cannot open a Premiere Elements project file (.prel) created in a later version in an earlier version.
And, you cannot open a Premiere Elements Windows project file in Premiere Elements Mac and vice versa.

Can I import a menu from Premiere elements 7(the Popcorn menu) into Encore CS4?

Can I import a menu from Premiere elements 7(the Popcorn menu) into Encore CS4?
If so how do I accomplish this act?
Are their additional menus available for Encore CS4?

The Menus in PrE are in Menu Sets. Each set is a Main Menu and a Scene Selection Menu. As PrE does the authoring semi-automatically, there are many "extras" in those PSD's, in the Button Layer Sets. All you have to do is make a Copy of your two Menus into a separate folder, so that you do not worry about messing up your Menu Sets in PrE. I'd do this in a new sub-folder in the Encore Library folder hierarchy. Then, Open each of these two Menus in PS. Go in and clean out all of the other languages for the Text and Button Text. Match the Layer Set/Button Layer Set names to those naming conventions in the Encore Library Menus, as you will not be getting any semi-automation. Where you do not need, say a Next Button, just eliminate that Button's Layer Set. Remember, PrE will do this semi-automatically, plus will give you the number of Scene Selection Menus, that your Project calls for - Encore will not. You must count the Scenes, divide by the number of Buttons on that Scene Selection Menu, and do Copies of that Menu, to accommodate what you require.
As for Encore, it comes with a full compliment of Menus, Buttons, and other Assets, like EM files (Templates), with Motion and Audio Assets. All can be completely customized in PS. Note: in PSElements, I do not believe that you can create Layer Sets, so that will be a limitation. The full PS has no limitations, with the single exception that to change Button Sub-picture Highlight colors, this must be done in Encore's Menu Editor, unless it's been added to PS CS5.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - remember, work on Copies of the two Menus in the PrE Menu Set, and NOT on the originals, or you will be doing a Repair Install to get those back.

How do I publish a video in flash from Premiere Elements 13?

I've created a video I wish to publish on my website using flash, as I have with previous videos. However, I no longer see flash as a choice unto itself. If I choose "Flash Video for YouTube," the warning pops up that "The video duration exceeds the maximum duration supported by the destination." It's not actually for YouTube, but I don't see any obvious was to create flash output other than for YouTube.
In previous versions, flash output was an option with no (practical limit) on the output size.
Is there some option/choice I'm missing?
Thanks!

ABC_Digital
No flash video export and no workaround that I have ever seen for this Premiere Elements 13 situation.
Premiere Elements 13 no longer offers the Publish+Share/Computer/Adobe Flash Video as last seen in version 12/12.1. It is what it is. No workarounds
that I have seen. Even the webDVD feature has been removed from Premiere Elements 13.
Other considerations in what you wrote
a. Premiere Elements' built in feature has its file size and duration limits (for 13/13.1) 2.2 GB and 15 minutes. YouTube extended time accounts do not
work in the Premiere Elements built in feature.
b. Use of the YouTube preset "flash video for YouTube" uploads the Timeline content to YouTube where YouTube does the file conversion to flash format
for display there. Any copies of your own uploads to YouTube have been available, but as .mp4 and not FLV or F4V.
That is what I have been able to put together with regard to the questions that you presented.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Does upgrading from Premiere Elements 12 to 13 solve the Organizer thumbnail problem?

Thumbnails do not show up after importing clips into Premiere Elements 12 Organizer. I've tried right clicking on a clip and telling it to recreate the thumbnail but it doesn't work. I've tried refreshing and repairing the catalog. I've even started a new catalog and reimported the files. The system says it's creating thumbnails but they still do not show up. Does upgrading from Premiere Elements 12 to 13 solve the Organizer thumbnail problem?

listiak
That is one of those questions best answered by evaluating Elements Organizer13 with your specific files in your specific computer environment.
Each of the Elements Organizer versions often appears to carry along its own baggage.
One of the things that came up about Elements Organizer 13 thumbnails recently was a problem with files with MPEG2
video compression. The Adobe word on this was that this is only an Elements Organizer 13 tryout issue...supposed not to exist
in the purchased version.
