How to narrate in Adobe Premier Elements?

I am using an external Yeti microphone to record narration in Adobe Premier Elements.  I have set up the microphone in the system preferences and also in the Adobe program.  I can hit record but there is no sound on the playback.  What setting am I missing to get this to record actual sound?

Is that a USB mic? Premiere (both Elements and Pro) can have issues with USB mics. Some work, but some do not.
If USB, test with a mic plugged directly into your sound card, or the MoBo's embedded chip via a 1/8" mini-plug.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • 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?

    Vere Clarke
    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.

  • How do I do still digital photos on Adobe premier elements 10?

    How do I edit and organize still photos on adobe premier elements 10?

    You don't edit with Premiere Elements, it is for video processing. Post your question to the Photoshop Elements forum and they will help you out.
    You can access the Elements Organizer 10 from both Premiere and Photoshop Elements. To get your media into the EO10 use the File menu to access the options. You can also have EO10 monitor particular folders for new media, or you can just drag your media from the Windows Explorer into EO.

    What is your program? You specifically ask about Premiere Elements but your ID = photo shop elements 12.
    It is confusing why Reynolds Films 2014 is replying to your thread, talking about Photoshop Elements.
    Assuming some version of Premiere Elements currently on some Windows operating system.
    What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system does it exist?
    How did you install your version of Premiere Elements on Windows - installation files from an online purchase or
    from installation disc from purchase of the product in box packaging?
    What installation files or installation disc do you have?
    You cannot install Premiere Elements Windows installation files on a Mac computer. If you want Premiere Elements
    for your Mac computer, you will need to buy a version of Premiere Elements Mac that is supported by your Mac computer.
    If you purchased Premiere Elements Windows in box packaging, it probably came with 2 installation discs, one for
    Windows and one for Mac. If that is the case, use the Mac installation disc to try to install the program on your
    Mac computer.
    But, we need the details from you in order to sort out what is and what needs to be done.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thanks.

    I am a professional photographer of many years standing and at the moment I have a student for 12 months, who I am teaching how to use various Adobe programs, but to introduce her to video editing, I have purchased Adobe Premier Elements 13 which is less complicated than the Premier Pro that I use. The program works perfectly, except for one thing.... when adding a title to the short video sequence we are working with, if I use a particular font (Metallophile Sp8) which I obtained from my Adobe Typekit, it crashes the program,.... all other fonts work perfectly....can anybody help me please?

    clivephoto
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on? And what video card/graphics card does this computer use?
    From your description, can I assume that this Mettallophile Sp8 font is being recognized by Premiere Elements 13 to the extent
    that it can be seen and remains seen in Titler's list of font choices - even after the crashes?
    If you opened a new project, imported nothing, and created a text title in the Titler with this Mettallophile Sp8 font, does the program crash?
    Please review the following which discuss fonts and Premiere Elements and determine if anything in it helps.

    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.

  • How to import AVI files created in Adobe Premier Elements 2?

    I have captured video in Adobe Premier Elements 2 on my PC from my Canon Optura camcorder. I have a few hundred small .avi files that I need a friend to import into his Final Cut Pro so they can be edited along with other footage that he has created. What is the best way to do this? Should I output a different file type from Adobe to make it easier for him to import?
    Thanks in advance.

    No, it would be easier to give him the camera and let him capture natively.
    bogiesan</div>
    Unfortunately the clips are dispersed throughout many tapes so it is not reasonable for my friend to capture directly from the tapes.
    I'm new to video editing and I don't know what format is recorded by my camcorder. Reading in this forum indicates that the .AVI files are just "wrappers". Is the compressor part of Final Cut? Would he be able to convert the files? Is it a problem if the time codes are lost. Can I do anything else in Adobe to make the conversion easier?
    Sorry for all the dumb questions.

  • How to download Adobe Premier Elements 10.0 and Adobe Photoshop Essentials 10.0

    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.

    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.

  • Install Adobe Premier Elements 9 results in Windows Installer window pop up

    Installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 fine.  When installing Adobe Premier Elements 9, the installation fails during 'Configuring Windows Installer' and a pop up window appears with the title 'Windows Installer'.  What do I need to do to get this software installed?

    You need at least 30GB (or better, 60GB) free defragmented space for PRE9 to work. Do you have this? You may have been on the borderline during install and your first project, so when you rendered your project, or restarted the machine, (possibly Windows creating a system restore point) your free space dropped below the limit.
    Can you also confirm that you didn't install any new software between the saving and opening of your project.
    Here are some general points you should work through to maximise your chances of success
    Install all Windows Updates.
    Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.8 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
    Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
    Run Disk Cleanup.
    Run Defragmenter.
    Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
    And give us some information about your clip and hardware:
    Use the GSpot Codec Information Utility to analyse the file and post screen image.

  • Adobe Premier Elements 10 has stopped working error message/Audio issues

    I'm working on a project for about a week. I almost finished it,  "shared" it to my computer, and watched it thru windows media player.  I thought of something else that I could add to the audio, so I went back into the project in PE10 and put small (2-3 seconds) audio clips on audio track 3.  Once I did that, PE 10 would not allow me to put any audio effects on that track.  (I went into some older longer projects that I have and it allowed me to put effects on any audio track).
    So, I moved my short audio clips to the Narration and Soundtrack tracks.  It finally highlighted the App;y button for the audio effects.  Now, the problem is that I can't play or click onthe timeline or move the timeline indicator without PE10 closing out of my video.  As soon as I try to do anything, it says "Adobe Premier Elements 10 has stopped working" and it closes the program.
    I can open my other projects and everything seems to work fine on those and it doesn't close out, but it won't allow me to do anything in this particular project.
    Again, I have been going into and out of the project for a week and all of the sudden it won't let me work on it.  It's only about a 3 minute project, so I don't know why it would have trouble.
    Oh, and it also un-rendered everything.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    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.
