How do you move Premiere Elements files (scratch disk) when upgrading OS

Hi,
I have just upgraded from Windows Vista 32bit to Windows 7 64bit.
I had to uninstall Premiere Elements 7 to deactivate, so I could reinstall, however now when I open all my projects it says media offline, please locate. I thought all my scratch disk were set up to 'same as project' but can not seem to locate the files in the same folder.
I have hours worth of footage captured through Premiere, any ideas where I will find this captured footage, or the file type at least so I can search my computer? I have all my old folders etc saved in windows.old folder that is created when you upgrade OS, so it must be in there somplace???
Please help!!!

I use a pretty simple setup for my Projects, also grouped by client. The exact layout will depend on whether I will be doing all of the editing on one machine, or will be migrating from computer to computer, via a FW-800 external. After that decision is made, my scheme looks like this:
Root folder = Client Name
     Sub-folder = Project Name
beneath these, I have:
          Videos
          Stills
          Music
          Audio
          SFX
          Capture Files
          Finished AVI's
          Finished AC3's
          and all Scratch Disks
For ultimate performance, one could separate out the Scratch Disks, and maybe even all Video and then all Audio, to separate HDD's, but this method keeps things neatly together, so that the entire Project can be deleted, when done - just delete the Project folder, and all of the sub-folders will go with it.
If I will be migrating, this layout will be on the external, which has had its drive letter assigned in the OS of each computer, so that it appears the same in each. If no migration, then these will be placed on an internal, probably E:\ on any of the computers.
Good luck, and glad that you found your "missing" files,
Hunt

How can you get Premiere Elements to recognize hardware. It will NOT recognize my Dazzle Video Capture device or either of two HP DVD burntes. I feel like I wasted my money.

That should have read, It will NOT recognize my Dazzle device or either of 2 HP DVD burners.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
If Premiere Elements 13, please be advised that it does not support DV or HDV capture firewire. And, any USB devices
have never worked for that purpose for Premiere Elements (any version).
As for the burner not being recognized in the Burner Location field of burn dialog of the program, please consider
(if you are dealing with DVD CD burner rather than a Blu-ray DVD CD burner.
CD, DVD drive not recognized after Adobe application install | Windows
Depending on how matters progress, you may want to do an uninstall reinstall using the following scheme
Uninstall, the usual Control Panel way
Do a free ccleaner run through to get rid of leftovers from incomplete installs reinstalls
CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
Reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
We might even involve later a deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole Folder in
which it exists. More on the latter later.

How do you move all iTunes files to an External Harddisk?

I have been reading, and trying to understand, all post in this forum on how to move all space consuming iTunes files to an external Harddisk. And quite frankly, I am a bit confused. Well that and most posts are from 2008 and earlier.
Here is my task:
Currently I have my iTunes on my PC Labtop. All music files, movie files and everything i located on this labtop, and now i am running out of storage space!
I then proceeded to buy a WD External network 3TB harddisk on which I would like to move all my iTunes files. For one because i am running out of storage, but also to have it available to other PCs on my network.
I followed the instructions but it did not work. All my music dissapeared from iTunes. I moved, consolidated, redirected as per instructions in Apple document, but still?
I have latest version of iTunes and a very large amount of music and movies.
Can anyone give me an understandable, straight forward instruction and explanation on how to do this and make it work?
Please, and thanks.

Is your library working now? If not can you recall exactly what steps you have taken? You may need to unwind a few of them.
The easy way to move your library from its normal location of <User's Profile>\<User's Music>\iTunes is to simply copy the entire iTunes folder, and all its subfolders, to a new path, e.g. X:\iTunes, where X is the drive letter of the external drive. Having copied the data across you can then hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep it held until you are asked to create or choose a library. Click choose and navigae to X:\iTunes, then open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it. Job done.
There is a minor "gotcha" if your library is based on the old pre-iTunes 9 layout that will break links to iPod Games/Mobile Applications but this can be avoided if you use the option File > Library > Organize Library... > Reorganize files in the folder "iTunes Media" before copying the library. Your library should also be consolidated before the move, that is all your media files should be inside the iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder which in turn should be inside iTunes.

Premiere Elements 4 Scratch disk error / clips off line

Hi,
I am a new user to Premiere Elements 4.0. I have just started teaching Media Studies and am attempting A Level coursework, and am having numerous problems.
1. We have been editing for some time. Today, when trying to access a project (all projects are stored on a designated drive of a school system), a notice popped up saying there was a scratch disk error and the project could not be opened unless the scratch files were put in the My Documents section of the school system. What does this mean? Is the project lost to us for good? I have a copy saved on an external hard drive and the same message popped up.
This occurred after editing successfully earlier in the morning.
2. Projects which will open are appearing with all the clips offline. Where have they gone?! We have changed nothing since our earlier editing session today.
3. In the earlier successful editing session, one group tried to capture some new material. All the new clips they saved appeared as being offline, and then their existing clips went offline one by one.
Any advice / suggestions?
Thanks you so much to anyone who can help explain this.

How do you move iMovie 09 files over to another Mac?

I am trying to move my entire collection of imported movies and 2 projects to my larger computer. I have saved all the files in my iMovie folder on my MacBook Pro onto an external hard drive. When I try to import them onto my MacPro I get an error message that says there is nothing to import even though there are over 122GB of iMovie files on the drive. When I try to import just the projects they are unable to be selected. I am running the same version of iMovie on both computers.
Thanks

If you find that the HomePage sites don't work correctly in the new location put them back and then just link to them from an iWeb site. They can be anywhere.

How do I get premiere elements 13 to read the video of my .mov files?

I am working on a PC. How do I get premiere elements 13 to read the video of my .mov files? I hear the audio but don't see any video.Thank you.

phyllism
Thanks for the reply. Glad that QuickTime install resolved the Premiere Elements 13/13.1 video playback problem.
When you double click any of the thumbnails for your .mov file in the Elements Organizer 13/13.1, does the Elements Organizer 13/13.1's player open to play back the .mov file contents for both video and audio?
You wrote
in the browser, the preview is an audio file, not a QT preview.
I was not sure if you were just going by what appears in the thumbnail, namely film strip with music note, or whether you had gone through the actual playback there. In the Apple Pro Res footage that I have, I get the same thumbnails that you are seeing for Windows Explorer. In Elements Organizer 13/13.1, the thumbnail for my Apple Pro Res file is just a film strip on gray.
I think what you are seeing is "normal" for the situation. But, please verify your observation with 13 updated to 13.1 if you have not done that already.
Thanks.

How do you process a RAW file ARW (from a Sony a7R camera) in Elements 11?

How do you process a RAW file (ARW) from Sony a7R camera in Elements 11? Elements 11 does not seem to accept a ARW file.

Doug2014
For editing of the Sony a7R raw image in Photoshop Elements Camera Raw need the following ingredients
a. The Camera Raw version must support the camera that you are using, that is, the Sony a7R. Support for that camera did not come until Camera Raw version 8.3.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
b. The version of Camera Raw must be supported by the version of Photoshop Elements. Camera Raw 8.3 is not supported until Photoshop Elements 12.
The choices would appear to be:
a. Switch to Photoshop Elements 12
or
b. Use the DNG Converter to convert the Raw image to .dng
If all you have is Premiere Elements 11 which I do not think is the case, the Camera Raw plug-in allows you only to import the raw or dng image into the project for inclusion there - no Camera Raw dialog editing. But the same Camera Raw version - Camera Support - Premiere Elements version support still exists.
Please review.
Thanks.

Photo elements wants to open last used dir location. When it doesn't exist or cannot access, it fails to open. How do you set the default file location?

Upset!!!
Photo elements wants to open at the last used folder location. When it does not exist or unable to open that location. It FAILS to OPEN.
Does not seem to be a way to set a default location or to change the location.
VERY ANNOYING.
How do you tell photo elements to always go to a set location rather than the last used location?
Thank you

Hi,
I did a test as you suggested - open an image on a removable drive, close the editor and took the removable offline. When I next went to the editor, it opened OK.
From the screen shot in message #5 above, I think that the fault is with SolidWorks. I am not familiar with that product but it seems to be a form of asset management and it can't open its database - is that on the removable?
Normally, the editor does not open any files when it loads except for it program files and any addins. Could SolidWorks be an addin?
See if this works to reset the preferences.
Create a desktop shortcut for this file
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Hold down the Ctrl, Shift & Alt keys when you double click on the shortcut. Keep the keys held down and eventually a message box will pop up asking if you want to reset the preferences - you do.

How do you move the pages arround of a newly created combined file ?

How do you move the pages around of a newly created File ?

Hi coypaschal,
To rearrange pages in a PDF file, you need Acrobat Pro or Standard. With either of those applications, it's as simple as dragging page thumbnails into their new position. For more information, see Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Rearranging pages in a PDF
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,

How do you import a video file that has extension gp into i movie. also rotating video

How do you import a video file that has the extension gp into ivmovie? Also how do you rotate a video . (the video was taken from a phone.)

Hi, your video file needs to be converted to eg. a .mov or .mp4 file before iMovie will recognise. I use 4Media MP4 converter and it works excellent.
For the rotating I do not have an answer, but if you would manege you would end up with a very narrow image either way.
Good luck

How can I download Premiere Elements 11 on my new computer, since my previous computer broke down?

This summer I bought and downloaded Premiere Elements 11 to my previous computer, which a few months later broke down.
How can I download Premiere Elements 11 to my new computer?
In my Adobe account, I see the product listed with the serial number - but the specific download is "not applicable"...

Klavs Hansen
Did you download and purchase the original installation files from Adobe? Did your old computer have a Windows operating system? Does your new computer have a Windows operating system?
I suggest that you contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=premiere-elements&topic=downloading-installing -and-setting-up
When the link opens, click on "I still need help." to bring up the Adobe Chat.
Alternatively, you could download the files from the following and then insert your purchased serial number.

Read the instructions carefully. In such a try, I am assuming that both old and new computers involve the Windows.

How do you get Photoshop Elements 9 to import from a scanner?

How do you get Photoshop Elements 9 to import from a scanner?

In Elements 9, you may need to copy the Adobe TWAIN driver, if your scanner requires it, from the optional plug-ins folder to the Import-Export folder in the main plug-ins folder.
You will need to copy the plug-in Twain_32.8ba
Copy from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Optional Plug-Ins\Import-Export
Copy to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins\Import-Export.
N.B. on Windows 32 bit systems navigate to Program Files. Replace en_US with your own geographic location if necessary.
On a Mac, go to Applications à Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 à Support Files à Optional Plug- Ins à ImportModules, and move the TWAIN.plugin from there into Applications à Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 à Support Files à Plug-Ins à Import Modules. For the App Store version, go to Applications and Right- click/Control-click Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Editor and choose Show Package Contents à Contents and move TWAIN.plugin from Optional Plug-ins à ImportModules to Plug-ins à ImportModules. N.B. If you see a message warning that plug-ins can't be modified. Click Authenticate and enter your Mac OS X account password -then move the plug-in.
