How to use LightRoom with Premier Elements?

I have recently learned LightRoom 5 and feel fairly comfortable with it. I'm now in the process of working on movie editing starting with Premier Elements 11. I'm just starting to go through it and I see that it integrates with an organizer that seems germaine to the Elements group. Issue is that I'm already using LR for organization. Am consequently a bit confused.
Can anyone suggest how to work with LR and Premier Elements together?
A secondary question has to do with audio file management. I see that the Elements Organizer also includes audio files. But LR doesn't. To date I've managed audio with Windows Media Player. Can anyone offer any suggestions for moving forward with audio management?

I use Lightroom 5.2 and Premier Elements 11 on a fast video optimized i7 PC laptop with lots of memory. It even has a Blu-Ray burner!
My photo and video files are first copied and stored by camera and date. Then I use LR to organize and preview, review and select both photos and clips. IMO, the clip preview ability of LR is very good. LR will let you make some simple edits to clips but I don't use that for video, only photos. My photos will be a mix of JPG and RAW and I will tune them with LR. Some of the photos may get some extra masking or HDR work elsewhere and then brought back into LR.
As I've preview the clips, as well as photos, that I want to use I put them in a LR collection. Next I prepare a project specific folder on my SSD named something like "Vacation Trip". If it is a big project, I may make some sub folders such as city names.
The big step is to "Export" copies of all the assets I've selected for the collection. I open the collection and select everything in it. Right click, pick Export, set the destination, rename them if desired, select "include video", select "Original" video format, select PSD for images and push the Export button.
The reason for "Original" video is because I don't want any extra compression or processing of the video clips. I want Premier Elements to do that. The reason for "PSD" is that I want my LR adjustments of the still photos to be included before I put them in the project.
Next I open a new PrE project. Before adding any assets, I make sure the the scratch disks are assigned to the project folder.
With the scratch disks set, I then load the assets. I make sure one of the primary video clips is the first to be placed on the timeline as that adjusts the "Project Settings" if necessary. Then I start building the video with the security of knowing I'm only working on a set of image and clip copies.
My audio file management is done entirely the old fashioned way in Windows Explorer. I have an audio assets folder and a system of descriptive folder and file names. I can preview them from Windows Explorer before I import a copy to a project folder. Adjustments to volume and clip length are done to he copy in PrE. I frequently buy a $2 audio clip from Vimeo specific for the project because I like having a license to use the music!
When I'm done, I move the entire project folder somewhere for long term storage.
Hope some of this works for you. If you have suggestions, I would appreciate hearing them.

How to use lightroom with desktop PC and mobile with MacBook Pro ?hav

At home I have a desktop PC with all my lr files stored on NAS drive I want to be able to access and edit on macbook when away from home.
1 Is it possible or do I need a Mac pc or change laptop to windows based ?
2 do I use remote access to NAS or use previews and sync catalogue ?
3 can lr exist with both file formats at same time ?

I use a similar setup, with a Windows desktop PC and a MacBook Pro. My photos are on an external drive connected to the Windows machine, and I sync the catalog and smart previews using Dropbox.

How to use "setVariableData" with a "Element" typed variable ?

Can anyone give me a simple exemple to :
- read a field in a XML element variable (not a "message type" variable)
- update the value of a field in a XML element variable (not a "message type" variable)
in Java activities.
("getVariableData" and "setVariableData")
The only documentation I found is for "message type" variables...
Thank you in advance !

Get :
Element elem = (Element)getVariableData("varElementType","/ns1:Donnee/ns1:champ1");
String value = elem.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
Set :
setVariableData("varElemType", "/ns1:Donnee/ns1:champ1", "this is a new value", false);
If anyone has a better solution, he is welcome :)

How do I open projects created using Premier Elements 8 with Premier Elements 13

how do I open projects created using Premier Elements 8 with Premier Elements 13

ATR
The DVD Creator.dll file was in the proper location but I could not find a Run As Administrator Option.
I did delete Prefs file and try again to open the app then the project and received the same problem. And the scratch disks were all directed to the Elements 13 path
Yesterday I did try additional solutions
Removed the Elements 13 App vis the Control Panel, copy the original downloaded .zip File to the Desktop and reload the entire application with no success solving the problem
In addition to that I contacted a site called Rescue.com? and the guy told me that he was a representative of Adobe, which I was not sure was the truth. He looked at my system and told me that Premier 13 was not compatible with Windows 7. I called BS on him told him that Adobe site said it was compatible and he told me I had a Trojan on my system and he would refund my money for Elements 13 and sell me version 12, which would be compatible, along with a better security system than the Norton 360 I told him I had. At that point I immediately terminated our communications and called Norton to have additional checks performed to ensure no additions were added to my system. They had me download and run Power Eraser from them and it found nothing wrong.
I also temporarily turned off the firewall and tried to use the Elements 13 but had no success.
I also went to Microsoft Windows site and searched for the Exception code: 0xc0000005 that was displayed in the event viewer and they indicated there was a hotfix available and they would email me that fix. ave not received the email yet.
I’m getting very frustrated but thank you for your help. I will update you with and additional results or actions I get or perform.

FAQ: How do I use Revel with the Elements 12 Organizer (Mobile Albums)?

FAQ: How do I use Revel with Photoshop Elements 12 Mobile Albums?
Photoshop Elements lets you upload your media to Adobe® Revel and then access it from any device. Media already present in your Revel libraries is downloaded into Elements Organizer, so that you can work with it. Adobe Revel is an app that lets you store your media in the cloud and share it privately or publicly. See the links below for additional informtion about using Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 12 with Revel.
If you check the option to make all your Elements photos and videos available in Mobile Albums, then Elements will move everything over to Mobile Albums, and upload it all to your Revel Library. Note that with mobile albums if you delete an image it will be deleted inElements and Revel.
If you have some mobile albums that you only want in elements and you have already made them mobile albums, there is a way to move them back. You can drag and drop a mobile album onto a local category. Media in the mobile album is downloaded as it exists in Revel and stored locally. Subsequentally, the downloaded media is deleted from Revel. You can select one or more of the photos in the Elements Organizer and right click on one of them and select Remove From Revel at the bottom of the list. That will move them out of Revel, and keep them in the Elements Organizer.

Also, bear in mind that few users of the full version of Photoshop are familiar with Photoshop Elements or Organizer, so many of us won't even know exactly what you mean.
I have to get back on this, Just recently bought Elements and Premiere for Mac (actually more for fun and possible use for a minor workshop, not for my professional workflow) and only had a short glance at it.
Just glanced at it again (still briefly) but there is a difference that you can't use in Bridge. Organizer has some shortcuts to fix images and creates a new version of the original.
This is not possible in Bridge. Also the Output Module in Bridge has a different approach to the create section in Organizer.
For me Bridge is the right tool and I'm sure "tweetybird" will benefit also after having learned a bit.
Especially the menu tools/Photoshop and the options in there will give better results (and far more control) to 'fix' ( I rather speak of optimize ) files to your satisfaction
But If you still need options from the create section that you will not have in the Output Module there is no objection to use Organizer for this by pointing it to the folder with finished files.
Its just a matter of the right tool for the right job

Bridge / Lightroom and Premier Elements

Am I missing something obvious? I am new to using Premier Elements, but use Lightroom, Phototoshop. In Design every day. So I use LR to manage my photographic files and Bridge for everything else.
I capture video on my camera in AVCHD, so Lightroom can't import or manage the files, despite the claims that it now supports video. Bridge doesn't seem to know of Premier Elements existence and instead I am expected to use yet another browser designed to work with PS Elements. Is their a work around for this, can Bridge be made to work with Premier Elements so I don't have to waste my time learning an entirely new management system. Seems a bit barmy to me that Bridge can't work with an Adobe product.

I know of no way to get Bridge to see and interface with PrElements. I use Bridge for most of my organizing, as I also use InDesign, PS, AI and PrPro. If I am using PrE, I just do a Get Media, though those might have been "organized" in Bridge.
Good luck,

How do I move a Premier Elements Project to a new computer?

I want to move a Premier Elements Project to a different machine with more efficient RAM and SSDs. How do I move a Premier Elements Project to a new computer?

Welcome to the Premiere Elements Forum.
I constantly migrate my Premiere Projects between my laptop, and my workstation, but I set those Projects up, initially, with that in mind - which is different than having a Project set up on one computer, and then moving it to another. For my setup (remember, this is initially, when I start a Project), see these two articles:
Setting Up Project Folders & Sub-folders
Using External HDD's for Video Editing
For existing Projects, there are a couple of ways to address this. The method that you use, might depend on how you plan on moving the Project.
If you have an external HDD, and plan to use that to do the move, see the "Using External HDD's" article above, as it talks about drive letters in the OS. Getting that correct first, can save a lot of work later.
Then, one can use the Project Archiver to Copy the Project, and necessary files to that external. When one has done that, I strongly suggest that they test that "archived Project," to make sure that the Archiver has gathered everything necessary. The success of that process can depend on how one has set up their folders and sub-folders, and where their Assets (the material that has been Imported into the Project) is located. That is why I always urge one to test everything first. Then, just plug that external HDD into the new computer. At that point, they will have two options: edit to/from the external, or Copy everything to the new computer. For the former, see that "Using External HDD's" article, as there can be some limitations, such as both HDD speed and connection speed, that can impact how well things work.
Next, one could just Copy (over a a wired, or wireless network, or via an external HDD), the Project file (PREL), all Assets, and most of the Scratch Disk folders, to the new computer.
Note: there are files in the Media Cache, such as CFA's and PEK's for the Conformed Audio, that do not have to be Copied/Moved, as PrE will rebuild those (give the program time to do so, and do not edit the Project, until they ARE rebuilt). Same for the Render Files, as if those are needed, one can easily hit Enter/Return, to Render the Timeline, or part of it, again.
Keep the folder structures.
If one gets the "Where is file _____ ?" message, this ARTICLE will be helpful.
Note that the PREL (Project) file is really an XML database. It contains NO MEDIA, but only absolute links to where that media was Imported from. See this ARTICLE for more background.
Good luck, and if you have any questions, or something above was not clear, please ask, before you make the move, as the answers might save you some time, and extra work.

How to use the FormDownload UI element?

Hi,
I am a newbie in ABAP Webdynpro and I want to know how to use the FormDownload UI Element. Any hints plz? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I used CONVERT_OTF FM to convert the otf data to pdf data. In my form user has the option to view the smartform (a button) or to directly download the pdf from smartform output without displaying the output. While the former has been taken care of by using InteractiveForm UI element and is displaying the smartform output fine, I am not being able to implement the second option. I have given a supply function to the pdfsource context node but am clueless about what to write to pass pdf data. In the sam WD component WDR_TEST_EVENTS, the FileDownload is used to save a text file with just one line. But how can I save a pdf file? I have assigned mime to application/pdf. How will I proceed now? Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

How to use annotation with GUI in swing

hi,
i am new to annotation. I know how to use this with classes, methods and java elements. I am developing a tool in applet to post comment on my notepad, but unable to find that how to use this with GUI of swing. I have gone through most of forums and tutorials but got no idea. Anyone could give me little idea.
Thanks

>
i need to use the applet mousedown function in swing..>There is no such class as 'applet' in the JRE, Swing has an upper case 1st letter, functions in Java are generally referred to as methods, and there is no 'mousedown' method in the JRE.
OTOH a Swing JApplet inherits the mouseDown method from Component, and it was deprecated in Java 1.1. The documentation (JavaDocs) provides instructions on what to use instead.
>
is there any way to use it or any other alternative is available for this?
if can provide me a sample code.>If can provide me cash. Short of that, you might actually need to do some research/coding of your own.
As an aside. What does any of this have to do with Java 2D?

What file do I play on my computer in a AVCHD disk folder created with premier elements 12?

What file do I play on my computer in a AVCHD disk folder created with premier elements 12?

Phantomkeeper
Just in case note...the DVD-VIDEO folders/files structure is different from that of the AVCHD format.
For DVD-VIDEO (burn to folder)
VIDEO_TS Folder
and your menus are typically found in VTS_01_0.VOB file in the VIDEO_TS Folder
and your video is typically found in VTS_01_0.VOB file in the VIDEO_TS Folder
For AVCHD format (burn to folder)
BDMV Folder
and your video is typically 00000.m2ts file in the STREAM Folder
and your menus are typically 00001.m2ts and 00002.m2ts files in the StREAM Folder.
If you want a single file (not yet on a disc) that will play back your Premiere Elements export, then I think you need a consider disc image file (.iso or .vdd).
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/11/pe12-disc-imagephantom-burner-pe.html
If you take the BDMV Folder from the Premiere Elements AVCHD (with menus) burn to folder into a 3rd party software like ImgBurn, you can put the BDMV Folder on a DVD or Blu-ray disc (to get BDMV Folder and an added CERTIFICATE Folder) and play that back with menus on a Blu-ray player that supports those formats on a supported disc type.
You wrote
but I was looking for the file like the VIDEO_TS file that plays from the menu in a DVD folder.
I have never gotten the VIDEO_TS.VOB file (standalone file) in the VIDEO_TS Folder to playback with a computer player or any other. So, please explain how you have accomplished this, including the player name and whether standalone or computer.
Please review. If you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask. The situation above is my take on the matter.
Thanks.

Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

Any chance to have a working system with Premier Elements?

I've tried a good number of different video editors for HD video editing and they all lack certain features here and there that I find necessary for myself. I don't want anything out of this world, just a good, solid performance combined, ease of use, easy video clip import, good image quality from rendering and - that's it. Nothing special. No fireworks, do dancing girls... Now, out of all the programs Premier Elements seemed to be very good, BUT it lacked the stability. Big time... Once I was working with that, the program just kept on crashing. Even if it would crash only once every 30 minutes, I could have taken that, but no... Had to be every second minute...
But, that was still with Windows Vista, and I blame Vista for much of the problems. I've upgraded - with blood, toil, sweat and tears, to Windows 7, which already has proven to be much, much more stable than Vista. So, the question is that do I have a chance to have a working solution with Premier Elements and Windows 7, running with multicore processor and 8 Gb of memory and soon with dedicated HD's for operating system and program files, video files and intermediate working storage? Will my dream ever come true?

Welcome to the forum.
It is possible, as many here report great success running PrE 8 on many different systems. Probably the biggest consideration is the optimization of one's hardware and their OS. This ARTICLE will offer a few tips on the software end of things, and for Win7, be sure to look down the thread and see Black Viper's optimization page.
Good luck,

How to use Terminal with KeySpan USB serial adaptor cable?

I own a KeySpan model USA-19HS to use with our MacBookPro when working on clients networking equipment that require serial communication. I have used ZTerm with excellent luck, but it costs, and is yet another application that I dont really want. I would like to know if any one out there has exacing instructions on how to use Terminal with this adaptor. If I could write a file that had, say, the couple most common settings (9600-8-n-1, 57600-8-n-1, et cetera) that I could simply click on, to open a new Terminal window with those settings, then simply close that, and open a new window (apple+n) in order to get back to a default settings terminal window. All feedback is most appreciated.
Thanks so much, Jason Sjobeck

Hi, Jason. Welcome to the Discussions.
You wrote: "All feedback is most appreciated."OK.
1. Have you considered discussing this with Keyspan Support?
2. Have you read the section "OSX has Terminal.app - why do I need ZTerm?" on the ZTerm Home Page? That seems to explain why one needs an app like ZTerm.
3. A quick search of Keyspan's FAQ for your product and terminal doesn't yield much more than how to find the serial ports using Terminal.
Likewise, this Google search also yields little, and variants of that search of such weren't particularly help either.
It appears your inquiry seems to be a somewhat esoteric topic.
4. Apparently, ZTerm X is a bit long in the tooth and there's no Universal Binary for it. It sounds, however, like you've tried it running on your MBP under Rosetta, yes?
5. In researching alternatives to ZTerm for you, I note the followng:• The comment from "Reverb" on this page suggests C-Kermit or Kermit as a free alternative.
• This tip on Mac OS X Hints cites Minicom as another option.6. You may want to try your question on the Unix Discussion.
Good luck!
