How do I prevent automatic scene creation in Premiere Elements 11

I'm real noob with Premiere Elements, so hope I have the correct terminology. I am in the process of converting a collection of old Super 8 cine film to DV. I have the complete reels as a collection of MP4s on my computer hard drive, and am using Organiser as the source when adding videos to a project. While working I have been able to add a video, then quickly apply rotation, resizing (to fit the full 4:3 frame) and then edit the video into clips or scenes to form chapters on a DVD. However, when working yesterday I noticed that when I drag a video in to the project workspace, it is being automatically divided in to multiple scenes. I notcied also that in the Organiser the videos can be expanded to show the scenes. This has made what was a fairly straight forward task more complicated as I am having to examine and work with multiple clips instead of just the one.
I'm not aware that I made any changes to settings, but is there something I can change to stop this behaviour? it does seem that it is a background process performed by Organiser, as the video files I was working with originally that were not automatically split into scenes now appear to be. In the projects I orginally created the video still appears on the timeline as one contiguous clip.
Video added to timeline appears as 1 contiguous clip
Video added to timeline is automatically split in to multiple clips or scenes
I've had a look through preferences of Organiser and the project, but can't see anything obvious.
I understand that I can apply edits to 1 clip and paste the attributes across all, but it is the process of editing in to the scenes/chapters that I want that is now considerably more complicated and laborious than it was previously.
Thanks

Hi Steve,
Thanks for getting back
I used a Samsung SMX-F40BP/XEU "Handycam" recording from the the image projected on to a screen. This produced mp4 video files on an SD Card, H.264/AVC Format with AAC Audio
I then dragged and dropped the raw video files on to the PC hard drive, and added the folder to the Adobe Organizer.
When creating the projects I
1)     Create a a New Project PAL Standard DV 48KHz to match the 4:3 aspect ratio of the original film
2)     Drag the video/clip I intend to work with from the organizer window in to the work are of Adobe Premiere Elements 11.
When I was originally doing this yesterday for the first 15 clips, when added to the timeline, the video clips appeared as 1 contiguous clip as in the first image i posted.
When i went to work today I noticed that when i dragged a clip from the organiser to the work area, the video took longer to appear on the timeline, I could see the progress as it was added, with lines appearing where scenes/splits are being automatically added as in the second image I posted.
I noticed first thing that the clips were appearing in the organiser window with different icons, and in some cases I could expand the clips to see all scenes that had apparently been generated automatically. All clips in the orgnaiser now appear with the same icon, and are all expandable.
If i now create a new project and use one of the original clips that originally appeared as 1 contiguous clip on the timeline, it is now split automatically, as with the later clips.

    How many times can I install Photoshop and Premiere Elements 13?

    mbuenger
    Are you referring to how many times can I install, uninstall, reinstall Photoshop Elements 13 or Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer?
    Or, how many of your computers can have a same purchased activated serial number at the same time for either of these products?
    If the former, I know of no limit.
    If the latter, the answer would be as John as mentioned.

  • How can I output the alpha channel in Premiere elements 10

    How can I output the alpha channel in Premiere elements 10. What format should I use?
    Tried outputting to an AVI filet but the file did not contain an alpha channel that After Effects 5.5 would recognize.

    Bill,
    I hope you ordered 32 GB or more on that new computer After Effects 5.5 takes up as much as it can.
    The Roto Brush tool is really a timesaver over ordinary Rotoscoping. Although, my problem now is: when I try to send a 1 min. And 11 second video from Adobe Premier Pro 5.5 two Adobe Media encoder 5.5, the process hangs in wait state in the Media Encoder. I have filed a request for help on the Media Encoder forum.
    I know you will put your new computer to use in helping other people and for this I thank you.

  • When uploading to Facebook how can I remove the "via Photoshop & Adobe Premiere Elements Uploader" ?

    Hi everyone,
    I am slowly getting to grips with Premiere Elements12.
    When uploading to Facebook how can I remove the "via Photoshop & Adobe Premiere Elements Uploader" ?
    I see there was an earlier posting (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3320214#3320214) which was for version 8, and I can understand the issue, but, (assuming its the same issue) has a remove tagline feature been installed??
    Is this also the same in the Pro version?

    I do not know if Premiere Pro CS6 CC offers an upload to Facebook export. Strictly an Elements Windows person here.

    I do not have any Facebook accounts, so I cannot answer your specific Facebook question, but generalizing I can offer the following suggestions.
    If your issue with Publish+Share/Computer/Social websites/Facebook is with tagging, you might want to check the Facebook web site for the Video Manager section of it (or that by some counterpart name). I know that YouTube at the YouTube web site allows the account holder to go into Video Manager and manage his/her tags for the file uploaded there and displaying. Have you been there and done that type of thing for your Facebook upload.

  • How do i convert a slideshow made in premiere elements 11 to premiere elements 12

    how do i convert a slideshow made in premiere elements 11 to premiere elements 12

    rfgold17
    Given that you have Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 12 on the same computer....
    1. Know the name of the Elements Organizer 11 catalog (See Elements Organizer 11 File Menu/Manage Catalogs/Catalog Manager).
    Close out of there.
    2. Open the Elements Organizer 12, accessed from Premiere Elements 12.
    3. In the Elements Organizer 12, go to File Menu/Manage Catalogs/Catalog Manager and click on the Convert button in the Catalog Manager dialog.
    4. In the Convert Catalog dialog that appears, look for the name of your Elements Organizer 11 catalog, select it, and then hit the Convert command at the bottom of that Convert Catalog dialog.
    5. From that point onward, follow the messages that you get from the program. (If you have any problems, I will go into deeper details.)
    When all is done, you will have your Elements Organizer 11 catalog opened in Elements Organizer 12 where it will remain in use until you switch to another catalog there. Your Elements Organizer 11 will remain as it was in Elements Organizer 11. Moving forward, what you do in the converted catalog in Elements Organizer 12 will not affect the Elements Organizer 11 and vice versa.
    Please let us know if you are OK with the above and if it worked for you.
    Thank you.

  • How to use the stabilizer effect on Adobe premiere elements 11

    Can anyone show me how to use the video stabilizer effect on premiere elements 11 step by step ?
    Thank you !

    achiu8888
    I suspect that the principles would lend themselves to a step by step but how the effect works with your specific video will depend upon the degree of shakiness and other factors.
    1. Your video clip on the Timeline of a project with the project settings which match the properties of your source video (part of all works whether or not the Stabilizer is involved.
    2. Go to fx Effects Tab at the bottom of the Expert View, navigate to the Video Stabilizer and click on it to view its thumbnail. Drag the effect's thumbnail from there into the video clip on the Timeline.
    3 I ran into an online excerpt of the Video Stabilizer in Adobe's Classroom in a Book, you may want to follow the path from there.
    http://books.google.com/books?id=7zdjWNElM1IC&pg=PT252&lpg=PT252&dq=premiere+elements+stab ilizer&source=bl&ots=YM4HHrmZAl&sig=MpFt6GJn7IkgESWBZ6sC6wA7aEM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ZZ2zUbbVI5W3 4APDq4D4DQ&sqi=2&ved=0CHoQ6AEwBw
    Also, you might want to put that information together with Adobe Effects Reference's description of the options iin the Applied Effects Palette/Stabilizer Panel.

  • How do I prevent automatic downloading of .pdf files?

    Hi:
    I've noticed previous queries (from 2008 and 2009) asking how to prevent Safari or perhaps Adobe Reader from automatically downloading .pdf files when they open them.
    I haven't had this problem recently until today. Previously, I would click a link and the .pdf file would open in a separate window. If I wanted to download the file I would have to select the download icon from the pop-up icons at the bottom of the page.
    Today when I click a link to a .pdf file, the file automatically downloads to my Download folder. Adobe Reader is opening the file. In its Internet Preferences, I deselected "Display PDF in browser using. . ." and "Allow speculative downloading. . ." to no effect.
    How can I get automatic downloading to stop?
    I also selected a .pdf file, pressed Command-I, and in the Open With section of the pane, tried changing from Adobe Reader to Preview and then Safari to get the automatic downloading to stop, but neither choice produced the desired effect.

    pjmetz: You say "tried changing from Adobe Reader to Preview and then Safari to get the automatic downloading to stop, but neither choice produced the desired effect." What effect did these changes produce? I am sure they didn't leave things as they were, did they? If they did, and Adobe Reader is strong-arming its way to causing all PDF files to download, try removing Reader and give it a test with no Reader-assist. Oh, I'm not trying to get you to give up on Reader. You can copy Reader to an ext. HDD for safe-keeping, and then trash it from the internal HDD, and empty the trash. Then test Safari. If Safari works correctly without Reader, get your answer from Adobe.com
    maxintaft: PDF files cannot be editied easily even on your HDD, mush less in a browser window. Whatever it is you are typing in (or have been typing in previously), it is not a PDF file, so your issue needs a new question, or contact the school site webmaster for help.

  • How do I prevent automatic caption of OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA?

    The caption field of Metadata automatically fills with OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA.  How can I prevent this?  How can I get rid of this on my 3000 pictures of Turkey without manually deleting each caption?  I am new to Lightroom, and have version 4.1.  I use an iMAC, OSX10.6.8.  Thanks.

    Some camera manufacturers do write the camera type in the caption :
    See this note by John R Ellis in his faqs for Elements:
    "Some camera manufacturers insert the name of the camera in the caption field of a photo’s metadata, and when you import the photo into PSE, it shows up as a caption.  To stop this from happening, uncheck the option Edit > Preferences > Files > Import EXIF Caption.  To remove the caption from photos that have already been imported:
    Do Find > By Caption Or Note and type in the name of the camera.
    Edit > Select All.
    Right-click one of the photos and select Add Caption To Selected Items.
    Leave the caption field blank, check Replace Existing Captions, and click OK."
    There must be an equivalent solution in LR ?

  • How do I prevent .DS_Store file creation on external usb drives?

    Hi.
    I can't connect my friends or colleagues external drives to my computer without my Mac creating dozens of ".DS_Store" files on them. It is very annoying.

    Thanks for the response :o)
    If I suddenly would realize that my car is leaking oil, I would not buy a machine which automatically would fill up my oil tank to a acceptable level and also wipe up the oil after me. I would of course fix my car instead.
    I want to take the problem by the root. It should be possible to turn the feature off, so that the files never will be created (and without mounting the filesystem as read-only).
    Where can I turn off this feature?

  • How do I correct random audio pops in Premiere Elements 13?

    Please help me with this audio issue! I hear occasional pops (skipped words, not smooth narration) in my edit. I shot the footage with a Rode video mic, but have not had this problem with this microphone before, and furthermore the pops appear not on the same marks every time, so it is not embedded in the original footage and therefore I conclude that the original audio quality is fine. At first I thought it was a yet-to-render issue, but after rendering it (while editing), and ALSO after publishing it to my computer to watch a version there, I still here random pops. Once I published it to my computer, the pops were stuck to specific points in the edit, but this is not so when I watch my edit in Elements, the pops are always in different places, and often will not be there when I roll back to try to immediately listen again for a just-heard pop.
    Can anyone help with this? How can I smooth out my audio?

  • How do I edit clips in iMovie (or Premiere Elements 10)?

    I am new to Mac. Used to have no problem at all editing and converting movies on my PC. Have both iMovie and Adobe Premiere Elements 10 on my new Mac. Even as a borderline PC geek, I can't seem to figure how to clip and edit and merge videos on my Mac. Guessing I will have questions about saving to a new DVD as well when I get that far. Trying to condense dozens of DVDs with old family home movies down to a single DVD by selecting 'best of clips.' Grateful for any assistance.

    Hi Jeni,
    I am not familiar with Windows Movie Maker, so I lack any frame of reference (no pun inteneded) to judge what you may be doing wrong. Both iMovie and Premiere Elements (PE) are designed so that the normal work flow is trim the clip the way you want, then put the clip in the timeline of your movie. In either you can work other ways, but the layout and tools in these programs are pretty much geared for that type of workflow. I use both by the way, although I am fairly new to Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and have not used iMovie all that much. In PE for example, you can double click the clip you want to use and that opens the clip viewer. You slide the pointers at the beginning and end of the clip viewer time line to set what are called "in and out points" and drag the clip into your time line or onto the scene line depending on which PE editing mode you are using. When you eventually export the movie using the Share panel, the program exports the entire timeline, which should be the series of trimmed clips, unless you check the box to tell it to only export the marked part of the timeline (I forget the title on the check box and don't have the program running in front of me). But in either case, each clip in your movie or portion of a movie should be trimmed according to the in and out points you previously set.
    iMovie works on a similar concept, except you drag your mouse pointer over a clip in an event to adjust the yellow rectangle to mark the part of the clip you want to use, then drag that clip into you project. In either program there are ways of trimming and cropping clips in the timeline/sceneline/project and automatically adjusting the rest to compensate, but in any case, I'm not sure why you would be losing the edits.

  • Menu Creations in Premiere Elements 7

    Why can't I add a menu template? I followed the steps correctly and I still can't add a menu, what's wrong?

    Andy Herrman
    Just a few thoughts before you decide to contact Adobe T/SAt this point, I also cannot judge if you have a serious problem with Premiere Elements 7 or if you are misunderstanding how to apply a DVD Menu to your project.
    Does Import Media = you have used Get Media to bring media into the Project View/Media and have dragged it from there to the Timeline, applied some scene markers there, then hit Disc Menus OR have you just left the media in Project View/Media, nothing to the Timeline, and then hit Disc Menus? However, whether or not any thing is on the Timeline, you should still be getting a DVD Menu in the Disc Menus Monitor after you select a Menu and hit Apply.
    Clicked on Disc Menu
    Chose a MenuHit Apply
    I was going to ask if you highlighted (blue rectangle) the Menu of choice, but, since you said that you clicked on Apply, I am further assuming that you did highlight the choice and therefore had an active (not grayed out) Apply Button.
    After you hit Apply, did you get any message or dialogs, like:
    Missing Menu Marker Dialog
    Automatically Set Menu Scene Markers
    At this point, in the bin below the Disc Menus Monitor, you should see a Main Menu and a Scene Menu. Which ever one of those is selected in the bin will be the one that is showing in the Monitor. So, when you say No menu would appear, are you saying that there were no menu images in the Monitor and/or the bin?
    By any chance, are you looking for the DVD Menu to appear on the Timeline? You are never going to see the Main Menu or the Scene Menu on the Timeline of the program. You can edit the menu in the Disc Menus Monitor and check its button workings in the Monitor by pressing Preview.
    Again, please excuse if I have asked inappropriate questions, but I was not sure what was happening or not happening in your situation.

  • How do I sharpen video from DSLR in Premiere Elements 11?

    I've been using PE11 for some time now. Mostly for home videos and a youtube channel. Up until this point I have used a Canon Vixia HF M-50 which was great. I had to do very little adjusting the picture in post for what I needed. But I just recieved a Canon 7D with a couple good lenses and I will be selling the Vixia. I know the 7D has the capability to take much better video and I am getting better at the manual settings. Most tutorials out there say to have your settings with the sharpness and contrast turned all the way down and adjust in post. The sharpen "effect" doesn't really do much and my footage from the vixia looks much sharper. Any help out there for a newb? Or am I going to have to upgrade my computer and software to keep up with the new equipment?

    My drill questions for Premiere Elements 8 users
    1. Are you running the program as the 8.0.1 Update?
    2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF?
    3. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed?
    4. Are you running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    Assuming Yes to all of the above....
    Is this a "worked before but now" or "it never worked" issue?
    What computer operating system (including 32 or 64 bit system) are you running Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on?
    Is you video card drive up to date?  Assuming that at one time you got into Edit Menu/Preferences/General, how did you set Enable GPU Playback, On or Off?
    What happens if you bypass the Welcome Screen for the opening? Same message?
    (To do that, you would right click the desktop icon for the program, select Properties, select Open File Location. That should take you to Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe. Right next to that file is another named Adobe Premiere Elements.exe. Make a desktop shortcut for the latter file and use that desktop shortcut to open Premiere Elements thereafter.)
    Please confirm that clicking OK to the message never lets you continue into the program.
    Please review.
    We will be watching for your follow up.

    There are no additional Movie Menus available from Adobe.
