Help with initial settings in Adobe Premier Elements 7

I recently bought a Sony DSC-T500 camera which can shoot 720P MPEG4 AVC/H.264. This week I purchased the Premier Elements 7 in hopes to edit video. My question concerns the very first screen that shows up when you open a new project. I'm unsure what my selection must be reagrding the video that will be imported. Under AVCHD everything is 1080i. Under HDV there is a selection for 720p. I'm confused as to the "AVC/H.264" listed on the camera. It seems like it should be opened under the AVCHD but there is no option for the 720! Can someone please assist? Thanks!

I would use the HDV 720p project preset. AVCHD is not edited natively by PE7 anyway and so it is probably better to match the frame size of the video and the progressive.

Requesting Help with Sony DCR-HC36 and Premier Elements 8

First and Foremost, I'm a complete amatuer with respect to video and I'm new to the forum.
That being said, I'm trying to capture video from my Sony MiniDV camera model # DCR-HC36 with Premiere Elements Version 8.
Everytime I go to File>Get Media>DV Camcorder, Premiere tells me there is no DV camera connected.
I'm using an HP PC running Win 7 Home 64bit. I installed a SIIG PCIe Firewire 800 card into the HP and am using the 4pin to 9pin Firewire cable.
The Firewire 800 card installed fine. I can see it in the Device Manager.
I also tested functionality of the Firewire card by connecting an External Firewire Hard drive. The HD worked perfectly.
Do I have to install some drivers for the camera itself? If so, does anyone know what they are and where best to get them? I checked Sony website and the available downloads are actual programs that I don't really want to mess with.
FYI, I hooked the camera up to a Macbook Pro, opened I movie and the Mac just about did all the work. (I know, I know, but please no comments about switching to a Mac.) lol.
So, I do know the camera Firewire port works fine.
I look forward to getting some tips from the forum users. Thank you in advance.

Device identification should be automatic, whether Firewire or USB - sadly though sometime it isn't.
One of my Sony devices (A100 DSLR) requires that the camera be switched before inserting the(for the A100) a USB cable or it is not recognised in the Organiser. It you have only been switching the camera on after connecting the cable you might try turning it on before.
From the specification your camera has both USB and Firewire connections. Have you tried the USB?
If the above doesn't work for you then you should probably install the Sony Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software. It may install a driver for your camera.
Cheers,

Adobe Premier Elements 9 setup problem

Hello.
I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 15R special edition laptop, and was provided with a copy of Adobe Premier Elements 9. However, whenever I attempt to use PRE, it asks me to select my country/region.
Normally, this would not be an issue, but the country/region selector drop down menu is completely blank and does not change when I click on it.
Is there a way I could fix this problem?
Thank you.

Interesting - I had a similar issue with Elements 10. I was told by Adobe Support to:
Uninstall Elements 10.
Change the date on my Mac to 11/01/11.
Reinstall Elements 10.
It worked!

I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution. When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom. How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?

I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution. When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom. How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels? I have read other forums on burning HD DVD's but I do not see the option to turn the 8 pi into 40 pi the one forum recommended. I want my DVD to be HD so I may sell these videos online for my business. I can't sell them the low quality they are burning now. Hopefully you can help me. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.
You cannot burn your high resolution video that you can view on your computer to an AVCHD on DVD disc
that will replay through a regular DVD player. But players are marketed under a variety of names with
different support opportunities. One manufacturer may call its product MultiMedia Player, media player, Blu-ray player,
etc.The bottom line is the specifications for each of the players that are candidates for the playback of
the AVCHD format on DVD disc or the format of interest.
If you upload your HD (1920 x 1080) video to YouTube, YouTube converts the video to flash format, but it goes up as the HD video.
But, beware. Look at the YouTube viewing setting when your uploaded video is playing back. The YouTube default is not
HD. It might be 360p, 480p. If you have a 1080p video, then before the YouTube playback, you should be looking
at the video with the YouTube 1080p HD setting for best viewing. That is a YouTube matter.
Best results depend on you
a. setting up the Premiere Elements project preset to match the properties of the source media. That means, if
you have 1080p source, you (manually) or the project (automatically) set the project preset at
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR [email protected]
or the PAL counterpart, depending on your region need.
b. if you upload your video to YouTube using the Premiere Elements feature, there is a HD preset, but you cannot
customize it.....if you need customization, then you can export your Timeline to a file...in this example
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or PAL counterpart
and then customize the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset. In increase quality, you might look to increase
the Bitrate under Advanced Button/Video Tab settings - without compromising the file size.
Then you would upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
All of the above are factors that need looking into in order to determine the why for what you wrote
I have published a shortened advertisement video to YouTube- say 5 minutes-
and it is low quality
Often SD video upscaled to HD can present poorly. But, you are dealing with a HD workflow so that should not be introduced into the matter. The setup of the project and
the properties of the source video are important, but let us start with the above and rule in or out those considerations first.
Thank you. As always, any clarification needed, please do not hesitate to ask.

I am attempting to upgrade from Adobe Premier Elements 9 to Adobe Premier Elements 13 after using 13's trial version for a few weeks. I am unable to find where and how to do this without losing the project I have been working on. Please help?

Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and Premiere Elements 13 are standalone products.
So, you can have both on the same computer, but only open one for your work.
The classical recommendation is to finish a project in the version in which it was created since there
is no guarantee that a project from an earlier version will open in the later version. Probably will, but
no guarantees. And, when you do explore this, do it from a copy of the earlier version project. Once you
take the earlier version project into a later version one, you cannot go back to edit the later version edited
project in the earlier version program.
If you have both versions (9 and 13) on the same computer and you have not moved, deleted, renamed any of the version 9's files/folders,
right click the saved closed Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project file, select Open With, and then Adobe Premiere Elements 13.
(Your 9.0/9.0.1 saved closed project file should be found in Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/9.0.)
Please review and consider. If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Thank you.

Please help me!--rendering makes the images or video blurry (very pixelated) deteriorates the image Adobe Premier Elements 13 need help! .jpg and mpeg images, but I have never "rendered" before since I got APE 13 about 6 weeks ago. I am desperate for assistance!

That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

larryh
Please remind us on what computer operating system your Premiere Elements 13 is running
Using your own music.....
Yes, with important but.....
Details
If your music is from iTunes, more than likely you will get some sort of error message from the program when you try to import the iTunes music into Premiere Elements (most versions including 13). In that case, please convert the iTunes music to the wav version in iTunes using the following iTunes instructions.
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - Apple Support
If you are getting program error message using Premiere Elements 13 Add Media/Files and Folder with other than iTunes music, please give the source and properties of that music.
Using USB Microphone....Not recommended by Adobe....See Adobe ReMe
Details
As for Premiere Elements narration clips using the its Narration Tool
1. Adobe documentation indicates the USB microphone do not work in Premiere Elements and suggest the use of microphones that connect to the computer via computer jack.
But, there are some scattered cases where the user has found a USB microphone that has worked for him or her.
2. Be sure to check Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO settings to assure that Input and Output are enabled.
3. There have been reports (Premiere Elements several versions) where addition of narration using the Narration Tool results in loss of pre-existing
sound on numbered audio track clips and soundtrack.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Audio Losses After Narration Addition
4. In my particular Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64 bit, I have found that I need to set the Mic Sensitivity all the way to the left to avoid
serious audio distortion.
I have tried to give you an overview to avoid surprises if you have not used the features that you pointed to in your thread question. Please let me know if you need further information.
Thank you.

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
If you are on Windows, do you have dual graphics?
Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound and then select Device Manager... In Device manager you click the + sign to the left of Display Adapters... and see if 2 are listed
IF YES, read below

Error message with trial version adobe premier elements

I just downloaded trial version of adobe premier elements 12....
First use, when I try to open on first screen a new file option, the following message appear..." driver uncompatible, please check and update it..."
I never had before message like this on any other software, and after checking, all drivers seems to be updated and OK...
The version downloaded is for 64 bits, so compatible with my computer...
Please advise
Thanks

I am assuming that your Premiere Elements 12 tryout is running on Windows 7 or 8 64 bit computer.
As per SG FAQ, please first verify that your video card driver is up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card.
But, I would ask you and SG to beware of his directions to the BadDrivers.txt file for Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 and 8 64 bit.
Deleting that file has saved many whose video card driver was up to date and the error message persisted. But, he has not updated that FAQ for the Premiere Elements 12 location for that BadDrivers.txt file.
Now about the location...for versions earlier than 12, the location was (demo'd for 11)
Local Disc C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and in the 11 Folder was the BadDrivers.txt file that you deleted.
But for version 12, it seems to be
Local Disc C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
and in the Premiere Elements Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file you delete. It is there as a single file among some folders (in my case, all the other versions of Premiere Elements that I have installed on this same Windows 7 64 bit computer)..
Please let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

Have you updated Premiere Elements 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
Are you using a USB headset - what brand/model?
Are you confirming that you have gone to Premiere Elements 13.1 Editor Expert workspace
Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO
And, in the Audio Hardware Settings/Input, you see your headset listed there and, under Enable Device,
you have a check mark next to the name of your headset?
The Premiere Elements Narration Tool has a history of not working with USB Microphones. Earlier program
Read-Me files often included that as a known problem. Although more recent program Read-Me may not
include that information, users continue to report that their USB microphone does not work in Premiere Elements
while others claim to have USB microphones that are working for them with the program's Narration Tool.
Typically it is the microphones with the computer jack connections which are the fall backs.
Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.

Adobe premier element 9

Hello,
I have a problem with Adobe premier element 9.
I created a project with some photo and in this photo I put a little video to comment it. The project is in 1280*760.
My problem is when I want to record my project in a littler resolution (800*600), all the insert video moves out from the picture.
Do u know if there is an “option” to keep all as it was in 1280*760?
Other information: I tried to record my project in 1280*760, but it don’t work, “undefined error”…. This is an other problem…
Thanks for your help.

For what I am reading, per your desires, I would match the Project's Preset to that of your Video, in every respect.
Scale your still images to match the chosen Frame Size. This ARTICLE will give you tips and more detail.
Now, to get the Video to "come out of the stills," be sure to turn Scale to Frame Size OFF. Then, you will do a PiP (Picture in Picture), with the stills on Video Track 1, and the Video on Video Track 2, above the stills. You will then use the fixed Effect>Motion>Scale and Keyframe the Scale of the Video. You will start with a Scale of 0, so that the Video is not visible, then Keyframe the Scale to what you need, whether PiP (smaller than the stills), or full-frame. If you want the Video to "disappear" back into the still, just reverse the Keyframes.
When done, you can Export/Share to a smaller set of dimensions, with most formats/CODEC's. You will want to keep the Aspect Ratio the same, as with your Project's Preset, so a little math might be required.
If this is not what you want, please correct where I went wrong, and good luck,
Hunt
