Import from Premiere Elements to CS6 - Video sequence missing

Hi,
I just switched from Elements 10 to Premier Pro CS6 and I tried to import my PREL files. Everything went fine, except that I only see my audio sequences not the video's and titles. If I play the video, everything is like it should, even the titles appear.
There are two sequence files in the project window. One seems to be empty, but at least the video tracks are visible. The other sequence is my elements project but I can only see the audio tracks and can't see the titles in the tracks.
I hope you understand my problem.

General wisdom is to finish current projects in the software and version they were started in, and only use the new software or version for new projects.

  • Can't import from Premiere Elements 4.0 into CS5.5

    Hey guys,
    I am trying to open a project that I did a while ago in Premiere Elements 4.0 (Windows) in a new Premiere software (Mac). I tried both Premiere Elements 10 and Premiere CS5.5, and both of them denied my old project, saying it was incompatible. Importing didn't work out either.
    Any ideas?
    ...or is there a place where I can purchase Elements 4.0 for Mac?
    Thanks in advance!

    You are most welcome, and hope that things work fine.
    The porting of PrE and PrPro to Mac, has caused a few issues, as those mentioned above. For some "history," Premiere (precursor to PrPro, not PrElements) WAS X-platform, at least by about Premiere version 5.0 (my archives do not go back to before that version). With Premiere/Premiere Pro 7.0/PrPro 1.0 (really an odd version, with three possible names!!!!), there were ONLY PC versions, so that Premiere 6.5 was the last X-platform version, until PrPro CS 3, when Mac support was added back. This created a "hole" and that has bitten many Mac-users, hence that rec. to Open earlier Projects (the Project file extension also changed, as of PrPro 1.0) in a PC version of CS3 (that first PrPro to go X-platform). THEN, a Mac with PrPro, CS 3, or higher, should be able to handle things.
    As PrE did not go to X-platform did not come about, until PrE 9, that leaves a big hole, just like with PrPro before CS 3.
    I have also found that newer versions of PrE's Project files (PREL's), will not Open in older versions of PrPro, for example, my PrPro 2.0 (PC only) will not Open PrE 7, 8, 9 or 10 PREL's.
    Hoever, my PrPro (PC only) will Open older Premiere Projects from the Mac days, with those same exceptions, listed above. I have worked with many Pr 6.5 Mac Projects in my PrPro 2.0 (PC only), and each worked almost perfectly, with those same exceptions, but even then, PrPro 2.0 is cool, and tells me which Transition, or Effect is not available, and even gives me the name of it, plus the TimeCode, where it's located. In my case, I just replaced a 3rd party, or Mac-only Transition, or Effect, with one in my PC-only PrPro 2.0. Neat eh?
    It is convoluted, especially as there were times, when both PrE and PrPro were PC-only. Add in several fairly major changes in the Project files from PrE 2.0 through PrE 4.0, and then the old Premiere to PrPro, and you have a real can-o-worms! And, that does NOT take into considerations changes/additions/deletions of some Transitions, Effects, and things like Instant Movies/Themes.
    Now, one possible solution would be to use PrE 4.0 (or later) on a PC, to Export/Share the Timeline to MOV, say with the Animation CODEC (think that is a possibility with QT - might need QT Pro? loaded), and Import that MOV into PrPro on the Mac. If I were doing that, I would edit either very loosely, with no Transitions, so I could edit tightly in PrPro, or edit VERY tightly, knowing that changing things like Transitions would have issues. However, one would need PrE 4.0 (or later) ON a PC. Judging from one of your questions, it appears that the PC with PrE 4.0 is no longer available, so the comment above is probably moot in your case.
    Most of all, good luck, and hope that you can find the person, that you need, to help you get things mostly into your PrPro.

  • Editing MP4 files in CS6 then importing into Premiere Elements 13

    I would like to import MP4 files from a Phantom Drone into Photoshop CS6 ---Edit those files--Then rather then making the movie in CS6 --import into Premiere Elements 13 to edit and render ..Is it possible to use both program's to enhance the final movie?    Thanks Tom

    Tom
    Add On..
    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
    If your Photoshop CS6 comes with Bridge, I am wondering if there is a way to go from
    CS6 Bridge to Elements Organizer 13. From Elements Organizer 13, you could import from there
    into the Premiere Elements 13 Editor.
    Quick results...
    Photoshop CS5.1 Extended, File Menu/Export/Render Video
    File Menu/Browse in Bridge
    Right click .mp4 export in Bridge, select Open With, select Adobe Premiere Elements 13 which needs to be set as default.
    Seems 13 is opening but without the .mp4.
    More later.

  • Converting 1080/50p video for import into Premiere Elements

    Hi there,
    I'm currently looking into buying an HD camcorder, and editing software to go with it.  I'm considering getting a camcorder which can record in 1080/50p for future-proofing, however I see that Premiere Elements doesn't currently support 1080/50p editing.  I was wondering whether I could sensibly shoot video in 1080/50p for archiving, but convert it down to either 1080/50i or 720/50p prior to importing into Premiere?  Is there a suitable intermediate input format which Premiere supports and which wouldn't result in a significant loss of quality due to the extra transcoding step?
    Also, what is the recommended system requirement for 1080/50i and 720/50p editing?  I have a 2007 Macbook (2.2 GHz Core2 Duo, 4GB RAM), would that be sufficient?
    Thank you.

    Thanks a lot for the very quick response Steve.
    I suspect shooting 1080/50i is likely to be the way to go, I'll obviously have a play once I get the camera.  I just wanted to check whether it's feasible to shoot in 1080/50p, but convert to 720/50p prior to importing into Premiere Elements.  That way I can keep a copy of the 1080/50p clip to use in a few years time when the consumer editing software has caught up.
    If I were to do that, what's the recommended file format to convert to prior to import?  Is there something similar to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) which is fast to convert to and edit from - ideally I'd rather not convert to 720/50p H.264.  Is there a list of Premiere Elements' supproted input formats somewhere?

  • Unable to upload entire video clip to Youtube from Premiere Elements 10, "Share" feature

    Hi all,
    I just bought Premiere Elements 10 and plan to upload video to Youtube directly from Premiere Elements 10 "Share" feature. However it always uploaded about 10 to 20 seconds of my 2 minutes video only. Then it only uploded about 20 seconds video to Youtobe successfully but not the entire video clip which is about 2 minutes.  Is there anyone face the same problem like me? Please help me on this matter. Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Ellie

    John,
    The WAB (Work Area Bar) has tripped up many, and is a common issue, when the Timeline output is truncated.
    Here is a look at the WAB (from PrE 4.0, but works the same in later versions):
    The WAB is a great tool, when one wishes to limit the Export, or perhaps the area of the Timeline that Renders. However, many do not even notice it, and fewer understand how it works, or how to use it, and it gets in their way, if something is not set properly.
    To the OP - Good luck,

  • Can I import a menu from Premiere elements 7(the Popcorn menu) into Encore CS4?

    Can I import a menu from Premiere elements 7(the Popcorn menu) into Encore CS4?
    If so how do I accomplish this act?
    Are their additional menus available for Encore CS4?

    The Menus in PrE are in Menu Sets. Each set is a Main Menu and a Scene Selection Menu. As PrE does the authoring semi-automatically, there are many "extras" in those PSD's, in the Button Layer Sets. All you have to do is make a Copy of your two Menus into a separate folder, so that you do not worry about messing up your Menu Sets in PrE. I'd do this in a new sub-folder in the Encore Library folder hierarchy. Then, Open each of these two Menus in PS. Go in and clean out all of the other languages for the Text and Button Text. Match the Layer Set/Button Layer Set names to those naming conventions in the Encore Library Menus, as you will not be getting any semi-automation. Where you do not need, say a Next Button, just eliminate that Button's Layer Set. Remember, PrE will do this semi-automatically, plus will give you the number of Scene Selection Menus, that your Project calls for - Encore will not. You must count the Scenes, divide by the number of Buttons on that Scene Selection Menu, and do Copies of that Menu, to accommodate what you require.
    As for Encore, it comes with a full compliment of Menus, Buttons, and other Assets, like EM files (Templates), with Motion and Audio Assets. All can be completely customized in PS. Note: in PSElements, I do not believe that you can create Layer Sets, so that will be a limitation. The full PS has no limitations, with the single exception that to change Button Sub-picture Highlight colors, this must be done in Encore's Menu Editor, unless it's been added to PS CS5.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - remember, work on Copies of the two Menus in the PrE Menu Set, and NOT on the originals, or you will be doing a Repair Install to get those back.

  • How do I publish a video in flash from Premiere Elements 13?

    I've created a video I wish to publish on my website using flash, as I have with previous videos.  However, I no longer see flash as a choice unto itself.  If I choose "Flash Video for YouTube," the warning pops up that "The video duration exceeds the maximum duration supported by the destination."   It's not actually for YouTube, but I don't see any obvious was to create flash output other than for YouTube.
    In previous versions, flash output was an option with no (practical limit) on the output size.
    Is there some option/choice I'm missing?
    Thanks!

    ABC_Digital
    No flash video export and no workaround that I have ever seen for this Premiere Elements 13 situation.
    Premiere Elements 13 no longer offers the Publish+Share/Computer/Adobe Flash Video as last seen in version 12/12.1. It is what it is. No workarounds
    that I have seen. Even the webDVD feature has been removed from Premiere Elements 13.
    Other considerations in what you wrote
    a. Premiere Elements' built in feature has its file size and duration limits (for 13/13.1) 2.2 GB and 15 minutes. YouTube extended time accounts do not
    work in the Premiere Elements built in feature.
    b. Use of the YouTube preset "flash video for YouTube" uploads the Timeline content to YouTube where YouTube does the file conversion to flash format
    for display there. Any copies of your own uploads to YouTube have been available, but as .mp4 and not FLV or F4V.
    That is what I have been able to put together with regard to the questions that you presented.
    Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • I need HELP with exporting videos with PIP from Premiere Elements 11 to YouTube please?

    When I am editing and rendering videos that have picture-in-picture using Premiere Elements 11, the videos (once they've been uploaded to YouTube) have these thick black margins above and below the picture-in-picture images/videos. These margins are not visible when the videos are viewed using Premiere Elements but then they appear when the video is on YouTube. How can I prevent this? Is this a format issue? Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Can you tell us exactly how you created your PiP, please?
    Knowing the specs. of both your background Video (and your Project Settings), plus the specs. of the Video used in the PiP, will likely be useful.
    Also, seeing a screen-cap of your Timeline, at the point of the PiP, might be useful too.
    Good luck,

  • Bad output from Premiere Elements

    I've tried every option but consistently the DVDs burned with my videos from Premiere Elements 11 are out of focus.  this makes this software useless for me.  I'm now using Photoshop Elements to generate slide shows and importing them into another video software to burn onto DVDs.  What's wrong with this software???!!!

    The problem isn't just that the resolution isn't as good as the source materials.  It is totally out of focus and looks like a 3-D picture before you put on the glasses.  My premiere 9 worked beautifully but version 11 is awful.  I am still using the same input as I did with version 9, which is mostly photos with some video.  As a matter of fact, most of it is Photoshop elements projects, which should work well with Premiere.
    My project settings:  editing mode -- HD 1080i (the default, I think)
              video frame size 1920x1080
    What other settings are you're looking for? 
    For the project I've just been working on, I ended up doing it in Windows movie maker, and I got fine results with much less effort.
    I'm about to shop for another video editor.  But I like the richness of options offered by Premiere and its link with elements, so would prefer to stick with it.
    Thanks.

  • Preserving time when importing from Photoshop Elements

    I have about 15K photos that I am moving from Photoshop Elements on Windows to Aperture. In Elements all my photos are in time order sequence plus the liberal use of tags. The tags work fine but the time sequence does not. Most photos have the date for when they were taken plus additional dates for when they were edited and/or when they were copied when I upgraded Windows/Photoshop. Some photos were from APS film that Walmart copied to CDs and I manually set the date. I have checked the metadata on a random set of photos and the date used by Photoshop on Windows is correct.
    My question is "Can I get Aperture to use the same rules as Photoshop Elements so that when I view "Photos" in Aperture, they will be in the same order. I check the manual; nothing on this. iPhoto has the same problem but then it doesn't support the same level of metadata as Aperture. Specifically, I need Aperture to support "Date Time Original" field when it is available. Otherwise, I will have to stay with Photoshop Elements.
    Anyone have a solution?
    Thanks
    PS Using the change date/time facility is not a realistic option since it would take days of labour for something that is already contained in the metadata

    This is because, when you port your slideshow to Premiere Elements, it becomes video -- and video has a resolution of essentially 640x480 pixels at 72 ppi.
    If you'd like to save your slideshow at full resolution, you'll need to use one of the other export options -- and you'll need to make it playable on a computer, which has a higher resolution than your TV.

  • Decreased picture resolution when importing from Photoshop Elements

  • Moving a project from Premiere Elements

    I have just created -- successfully, for the most part -- a nice video in
    Premiere Elements, commemorating my daughter's bat mitzvah, with two camera
    angles, creative integration of many still images, and multiple audio
    tracks. I was pleased with how smoothly it went...until it came time to burn
    the DVD.
    At that point, I found a disappointingly small number of layout choices and
    virtually no ability to customize the ones that were there. I don't need a
    template; I just want to be able to choose a background image and round up
    the DVD markers that I carefully inserted. That modest desire appears
    outside of the range of the program's templates.
    Turning my attention to Encore, it appears as if this is the app that I
    should have turned to for DVD creation in the first place. Before I traverse
    this program's learning curve, I need to know if it will be able to start
    with my PREL file, including the DVD markers that I created.
    Thanks...

    You won't be able to import the Premiere Elements file.
    What you will need to do is export the video file as you have edited it f5rom Premiere as either a movie file, or (if Premiere Elements has the option) an MPEG-2 file where the sequence markers you have created will turn into chapter markers.
    However, I would personally recommend using the export as an AVCI type movie even if Prem El does support direct to MPEG-2.
    This is for a couple of pretty good reasons:
    1 - when you import an AVI file into Encore, you get precise control over exactly where the chapter points go. With MPEG-2 files, you do not have as much control.
    2 - And this is the most important reason - it saves you having to do a "bit budget" & work out just how much bitrate you need to assign to the video so that it fits onto the DVD.
    Encore will take care of this automatically, and it does a pretty good job of it.

  • Does premiere elements support analog video

    I have DVD's of analog videos burned from a 8mm Camcorder recorded in UDF format. Does Premiere Elements support analog video for editing?

    theodorepost
    Thanks for what sounds like good news.
    I see no need for you to convert those VTS_01_1.VOB files into anything else.
    Here is my suggested plan...
    a. Download and install the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 12 from Adobe
    b. Put your DVD disc in the DVD burner tray. Open Premiere Elements 12 to the Expert workspace.
    Click on File Menu/New/Export and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard or Widescreen (depending on whether
    your files are for standard 4:3 or widescreen 16:9)...do not forget the check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on
    This Project".
    c. Then back in the Expert workspace, use Add Media/"DVD Camera or Computer Drive"/Video Importer. In the Video Importer,
    put a check mark next to your VTS_01_1.VOB, a check mark next to Add to Timeline, and designate at Save In location. Then click
    Get Media to put the file in Project Assets and on the Timeline.
    d. Then we can gauge the situation.
    Again, if possible, do not purchase the program until you have work through the tryout in order determine if Premiere Elements 12 work for your video editing/export goals and is compatible with your computer environment.
    We will be watching for further developments.
    ATR
    Add On...If any problems (I do not expect any) with Add Media/DVD Camera or Computer Drive), we might consider Add Media/Files and Folders/ and navigate to the VTS_01_1.VOB.

  • Adome Premiere Elements 7.0 Video Playback jitter

    Hi Having problems playing videos in Premiere elements.
    Once imported I them imported into premiere elements and then play it- the video is jittery and not smooth. Playing it in more basic players seems to not have any problems at all.- I'm unsure why this is occurring in premiere.
    Laptop Specs are 2.0MHZ CPU,2GB RAM 20GB Free HDD Space- files are 20MB.
    Ive defragged the drive and gone through and cleaned up things- can anyone advise where I start and what things may need configuring etc...- this occurs to any video played in Adobe Elements premiere 7.0. Files are imported from a Sony handy cam HDR-SR11
    Kind Regards John

    You've got a number of problematic issues, John.
    For one, your computer is underpowered. A laptop running 2 mhz is barely fast enough to run the program, even editing standard video -- and 20 gig of free hard drive space will not likely be enough to allow for scratch disk files for any intensive video work and the fragmentation and paging that always happens on a C drive.
    But you've compounded all of that by trying edit AVCHD video, probably the most challenging, intensive format to edit on any computer. Most people who are successfully editing AVCHD are doing so on state of the art quad-core computers.
    So, unfortunately, you're just not going to be able to work with this program, editing that video on this computer. Sorry.
    The FAQs at the top of this forum offer our suggestions for minimum computer specs. The computer at the bottom of the list would most likely be required to edit video from that camcorder.

  • Sony AVCHD conversion software for import to Premiere Elements

    I am testing out a Sony HXR-NX3 camcorder.  Planning to use it for wedding videos so I'm looking at the color and low light capabilities.  When I copied the footage from the SD card to my PC then dragged the files into Adobe Premiere Elements v10 I noticed the sound did not come along.  After some research, I found an article that stated:  "In order to edit Sony HXR-NX3 60p MTS files smoothly, the easy workaround is to use 3rd-party to rewrap and convert 1080 60p footage a more "editable" format."
    Here is the link to the article:  http://www.brorsoft.com/how-to/import-sony-hxr-nx3-footage-to-adobe-premiere.html
    I filmed in 1080/30p (not 60) but apparently it has the same issue.  I also read that the Sony needs special software to combine files (>2g) that it split during recording and also if you are trying to combine files that crossed SD cards.
    I found three possible pieces of software and wonder if anyone has a recommendation.
    I am running W8.  Adobe Premiere Elements 10. Footage shot at 1080/30p 17mps.
    Sony Content Management Utility (which requires the physical camcorder to activate).  I could only find v1 online.  (Camcorder is a rental.)

    From a Premiere Elements perspective...
    Please take a look at the blog post PE12: Seamless File Merging Before Import"
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Seamless File Merging Before Import
    It uses Command Prompt to get the job done.
    It may be on the primitive side when it comes to the converter mentioned, but it might just take care of the audio issues and the files merging if those are the target concerns?
