Help! My premiere elements 11 freezes when I go to edit a design every time.

I recently got a new laptop with windows 8. I installed photoshop elements 6 on it. It was freezing up so I went ahead and upgraded to 11. Same thing I go to load a design and it just freezes. I end up having to shut it down and load everything back up and it just freezes again. Every other program seems to working fine but my photoshops. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you please elaborate on what you mean by Freezes?
Does it not launch or gives you any error messages?
Are yoiu able to open images and perform edits?
Few tips:
1) Go to Editor > Edit > Preferences > Performance - check the memory allocated to the application. in case you find it less or you can allot more to it( w.r.t. the memory of your system), increase it to improve performance
2) Go to Task manager  > Processes and try to see the kind of memory the applications are taking(sort by memory) and kill if you are not using the applications but are still running in the background.
3) When not using, quit the application and relaunch when needed, Memory engaged by the application will be released

  • Premiere Element Freezes When Tried to Burn DVD

    My computer meets and exceeds the requirements for Premiere Element 4. It also has about 50 GB of free disk space. I put together a file (about 30 minutes) consisting of stills and video clips, sound tracks, effects, and transition. When I tried to burn a DVD the first time, the program froze at the first instance of "burn" after completion of encoding and compiling. I removed Premiere Element and then reloaded it. I was able to burn a DVD. When I tried to burn again after making a minor change (to some text on still images), I then experienced the same problem even though with the same remove/reload routine.
    From your website, I tried to sort out if the problem was due to my project or my computer system. I could create a DVD folder of a simple file but not a folder for my project. So it seemed that my project file was the problem. I then took the suggested approach, i.e. to make DVD folders of segments of my project and they all worked.
    Finally, I was able to export my project to my hard disk as an AVI file and then load the file as a new project. Then burning a DVD was uneventful. The burned DVD showed that the file was about 1.6 GB in length.
    Would appreciate your suggestions on how to identify the glitch that prevented me from burning a DVD in the straightforward manner. I might add that I had burned DVDs of projects of almost identical composition and length and had experienced no such problem.

    From your description, it sounds like either the photos were larger than 1000x750 pixels in size and/or that you needed to clear your Media Cache (in Premiere Elements Edit/Preferences).

  • There is no picture in Premiere Elements 10 when I am in editing mood, I can only hear the sound.

    I have been edeting in Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10 for a long time. Now, today there is now picture in Premiere!!! I can not solve this, I have tryed everything. (Windows 7/64, Intel Core i7-2600 k/3.40 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570)
    What is the problem?

    The only problem with your assertion is that Adobe released PrE 10, which worked with the nVidia (and ATI) drivers, 3+ years ago. It was only with a recent nVidia driver release, that problems were noted. Since PrE 10 has been out of development for some time, they are not likely to rewrite things, to accommodate a newer, but flawed nVidia driver. I only hope that nVidia is able to discover what the issue is, with their new driver, and correct that, with a later release.
    Similar happened about 4 years ago, but the issues were not just with a version of one Adobe program, but most Adobe programs, across the board. It took about a month to track down the problem, and in that time, a second "problem" nVidia driver was released. By the time that both the cause and the fix were worked out, nVidia had a third driver release, that fixed things. Back then, the issue was two 3D nVidia modules, that were being turned ON, with the default installation. With the release of the third successive driver, nVidia set those to OFF - which was also the "fix" with the two previous drivers - turn those modules OFF.
    I was only pointing out that using a simple player's capability vs an editing program's, is not as iron-clad a test, as it might seem at first. There are major differences in how those program types interface with the video driver.

  • With Premiere elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264  .mov file type, what are the recommended Codec and Aspect settings for a crisp video and a small file size?

    With Premiere Elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264  .mov file type, what are the recommended Aspect and Codec settings , for a crisp video with a small file size?

    Gary Krouse
    We will customize a very detailed reply, but
    (a) What are the properties of your source media?
    (b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
    (c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
    File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Pro & Premiere Elements Crash When Open Together?

    Anyone have a problem with Premiere Pro & Premiere Elements crashing when open together?
    I have PE10 and am doing a trial of Premiere Pro CS6.
    Both crash fairly quickly when open together.

    GTX 470
    Corsair AT 850 Watt PSU
    Thanks!

    The first thiing that comes to my mind is a resources issue. As you have a stout computer, with more than adequate RAM, unless something is failing (like a stick of RAM), or perhaps the GPU, I would not expect to see what you observe. On a much less powerful machine, I have no problem running PrPro, Encore, Photoshop, Illustrator, and a word processor, all at the same time.
    I would look into this ARTICLE, which starts with some general tips on setting up one's computer for running PrE, and then goes into system and OS tune-up tips (this is probably where I would start, if the intitial checklist looks OK), and then goes into troubleshooting. I would definitely look here, and especially using Event Viewer to try and track down what is happening, when the crashes occur, and also the one on tools to test RAM, GPU's, etc.).
    Good luck,

    Do you have any capture cards in the computer? For example, Blackmagic, Aja, Matrox, CineForm, etc.
    If so, it's software might be causing the problem. Go to "Programs And Features" in the Vista Control Panel to remove the software for the capture card. Restart the computer and then try again.
    Did you install any plug-ins for Premiere?
    If so, remove them and see if the problem goes away.
    Also, where are you saving your projects? Try saving one to your Desktop and see if you still have the problem. If you don't, then it could be a problem with your save location.

  • Why does selecting "help" in Premiere Elements give me a http403 forbidden message?

    Why does selecting "Help" in Elements Premiere 11" give me a 403 Forbidden message?

    I have looked at hosts file.
    If I understand your suggestion correctly, I have compared my hosts file entry with the link you provided:
      http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zyw0c7iJGJs/Uz9A3uyRpMI/AAAAAAAABZo/6s9KihpCW0I/s1600/hostsfile. JPG
    and they appear to be exactly the same.
    [PS: Could an issue here be that my version of PE (11) is not the latest version (13)? (Or should using PE11 still permit use of the "Help" feature, without a "403 error" ?)]

    Let us look at the hosts file and inspect its content for unwanted/unexpected entries.
    STEP 1
    Find the hosts file. In Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, the hosts file is found in the path
    Local Disk C
    Windows
    System32
    drivers
    etc
    and in the etc Folder is the hosts  file
    STEP 2
    Right click the hosts file, select Open, and then Notepad. Open the hosts file's Notepad document.
    Do you see anything below the last line in the default hosts file as shown in the screenshot?
    (Always backup the hosts file before editing it.)

  • IMac (2008) OS10.6.8 - Main menu freezes when running more than one application at a time.  Apple and 3rd party applications - all freeze the main menu.  Safe mode seems to work OK. Tried repairing permissions - didn't work.

    For the past 60 days I've experienced Main Menu freeze when running more than one application at a time.  iPhoto, Preview, Text Edit, Epson Scan, Firefox and Thunderbird are the apps I use almost daily.  No matter what I do, when more than one is running they will freeze the Main Menu (top of the screen).  I've tried booting is Safe Mode and I don't seem to have a problem.  I've tried several suggestions from repairing permission (DiskUtility) to eliminating specifis login items.  Nothing works. I've posted this issue on the Apple forum several times and no one else has experienced this problem.  I hesitate to take my iMac to the Apple Store or a private Apple repair service until I've exhausted all of my options.  Do I have any more options?    

    Question:  Everytime an app crashes I have the option to report it to Apple - which I usually do.  But I've NEVER reported a Main Menu freeze because it never asks me to
    There's really no need to submit to Apple, it's just a round file cabinet on the other end, especially with 10.6 or earlier.
    This sure sounds like a resource problem...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

    If I remember right there "may" be a problem if you have a proxie settings enabled.
    System Preferences/ Network/ Advanced/ Proxies. Can't remember which one or if it was an issue in 10.7 or 10.6. Just make sure their all unchecked and try again.
    You might try a search in these forums for more information. Different fix's for different issue's.

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • Bought an iPod nano for use in an external source to the unit of the BMW. It works, but don't remember the place when you turn off the power and every time begins to play the playlist first.

    Bought an iPod nano for use in an external source to the unit of the BMW. It works, but don't remember the place when you turn off the power and every time begins to play the playlist first.

    Thanks iPod Whisperer--
    I do realize that the nano will resume where I left off in my audiobook if I reload the file that was last playing.
    What I was hoping is that the 6g nano would work like my previous iPods and default to the last file played the next time played after Iused sleep mode instead of going to some random song on the iPod.
    Since I usually have a lot of audiobooks on my iPod--and most of those have 10-15 files in them, it's a pain to have to navigate to the correct file (and try to remember which of the 10-15 files I was last playing). On all my other iPods I could simply hit play and it would start up in the audiobook right where it left off.
    Note--this only happens if I use the sleep timer to turn off the iPod. If I pause the book myself, when I turn the iPod back on it'll "remember" what file it was playing.
    Hope this makes sense.
