In Adobe Premier Elements 12 Organizer

In Adobe Premier Elements 12 the Organizer closes as I try to open it

WeavingWater
I have found that the Elements Organizer 12 that is part of Premiere Elements 12 has a tendency to want to make a swift departure. The program is on Windows 7 and 8.1 64 bit.
The fix for me has been deletion of the Elements Organizer 12 settings file and/or creating a new catalog.
If the Elements Organizer does not stay open longer enough, then delete the settings file psa.prf via the path (Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit)

and in the Organizer Folder is the psa.prf file that you delete. (A new psa.prf file will be generated by the program once you open the Elements Organizer again.)
Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path.
Another way to get at that settings file is from the Premiere Elements workspace. As you hold down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys (altogether), mouse left click and hold the click on the Organizer tab at the bottom of the Premiere Elements workspace. Hold that mouse left click for about 15 seconds and then release it. You should see the pop up asking your permission to delete the Organizer settings file. Click Yes. Release the Ctrl+Alt+Shift hold down.
As for creating a new catalog, see Elements Organizer File Menu/Manage Catalogs/Catalog Manager.
Please let us know if any of that worked for you. All that has been working for me. The Elements Organizer will run fine for a time and then revert to the bad behavior which is quickly remedied by the techniques cited above.

Upgrade to Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 plus Adobe Premier Elements 2.0

I currently have Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0
I would like to purchase the Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 plus Adobe Premier Elements 2.0. for more photo and video options.
I'm offered one of two options. Either buy the Full Version or the Upgraded version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 plus Adobe Premier elements 2.0.
I don't want to lose any of my videos or photos in my Adobe Photoshop Album Starter editon 3.0.
Will the Upgrade over the Full Version be sufficient?
Thanks,

The upgrade only applies if you already have a paid-for version of these programs. You cannot "upgrade" SE.
> I don't want to lose any of my videos or photos in my Adobe Photoshop Album Starter editon 3.0
That isn't an issue. Your pictures aren't "in" PSA SE, it is just cataloging what's on your disk. In any case, the catalog will be usable by PSE 4 Organizer, so all your tags etc. will be preserved.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements running on?
Have you gone through the typical drills of
1. Latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements?
2. Running program from User Account with Administrative Privileges as well as from Run As Administrator applied to the desktop icon
with right click of the icon, followed by selecting Run As Administrator?
3. Does problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
4. Even though the Premiere Elements 12 Editor will not open, can you open the Elements Organizer 12?
If Yes to all of the above, please review the following for a possible solution...

Adobe Premier Elements 11

Using Adobe Premier Elements 11 I experience "freezing" when I:
add some info to a picture while making a DVD, save the program then access the button to continue scanning the photos for the next spot in which to add more info. Not always, but often if freezes the program. Norton tells me I'm using 4,095 MB of memory and I have 8 GB in the Dell Inspiron desktop. Sometimes the program quits when I've asked to, "Wait for program." Any help?
I have noted that my installation shows two instances of (Adobe Premier Elements 11 and Adobe Premier Elements) as having been installed at the same time. One is 96 Kb large and the other is 1077 Kb large. Is this normal?

Yes, Normal.
Adobe Premiere Elements 11.exe (95.9 KB) opens first
and
Adobe Premiere Elements.exe (1.05 MB aka 1075 KB) opens second

Adobe Premiere Elements 11
and in the Premiere Elements 11 Folder are these two .exe files.
When you install the program, the desktop icon for the program targets the Adobe Premiere Elements 11.exe to open to the Welcome Screen. You can bypass the Welcome Screen by creating a desktop icon for the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe and using the latter to open Premiere Elements each time so that you do not run into the Welcome Screen.
Alternately, you can set the Welcome Screen "On Start Always Launch" = Video Editor.

Although we are glad that you believe you have found your answer to the issue presented, I would ask
a. What are the formats and pixel dimensions of the photos being imported in Premiere Elements project?
b. Not sure what that " ...continue scanning the photos for the next spot to add more info" is all about. Are you going into the Elements Organizer 11 which comes with Premiere Elements 11 and using File Menu/Get Photos and Videos/From Scanner? If so, where do you scan the photos to? How are you importing them into Premiere Elements 11 Expert workspace - Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets and to Timeline or something else?
Besides photo formats, pixel dimensions, and computer resources, your workflow sequence of events (maybe some multitasking) may be involved in this freezing (other than you are too fast for the program).
Please review and consider.
Thanks.

Add On...From what you wrote, I am guessing that you are working on Premiere Elements 11 running on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. If so, that would put you in a better computer resource position than otherwise. Also, watch out for antivirus interference.

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.

I am planning on purchasing Premier Elements 13, would it be better if I bought a new program rather than download an upgrade, just in case the upgrade doesn't load properly due to the error with my existing program?
If I the deleted Premier Elements 9 on my PC would I lose all my existing videos that were produced using Premier Elements 9 or would they be saved so that they can still be worked on in Premier Elements 13?
Does Premier Elements 13 work with Windows 7?
Thanks
Terry

Premiere Elements 13 absolutely works with Windows 7!
In fact, I'd highly recommend you download the free trial and give it a test run.
Meantime, go to Windows Update and make sure you have all of the latest Windows updates, including those that don't install automatically. Then go to the nVidia or ATI site and ensure you have the latest driver for your graphics card, and go to Apple.com and ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.

Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Elements to shut down.

I have Adobe Premier Elements 7. When I launch the application then try to begin using it an error is presented which advises Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project. When I click OK the program shuts down. I have tried fixes I have found on the Forum. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the program.

From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
•(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.0.1 update).
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.9.4"---not just "Mac"
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.

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.

Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer catalog conversion

I'm having trouble converting Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 catalog to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer. I get a Conversion Failed error which tells me to repair with the program that created it. I have tried several things including deleting all .avi files from the catalog, deleting references to missing files and backing up then trying to convert from an external HD. I'm running Vista Home Premium on a HP laptop. The Organizer optimize and repair don't seem to help in this case.
Does anyone have any history with this or advice?

Please refer to following KB article which deals with catalog conversion failures:-

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.

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
Try starting the organizer while holding down the shift key. Hopefully, it should load the Catalog Manager.
Select your current catalog and click on the Repair button. Once it has finished, click on the Open button to see if the catalog opens.
Good luck,

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Organizer stürzt immer ab!?

Hallo zusammen,
ich habe folgendes Problem:
immer wenn ich den Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Organizer starte stürzt er gleich nach wenigen Sekunden ab.
Photoshop läuft dagegen immer stabil.
Das ganze ist nachdem verschieben eines Tags entstanden. Ich habe ihn verschoben und danach ist das Programm abgestürzt.
Weiß jemand woran das Abstürzen liegen könnte?
Grüße
Julian
Nachtrag: Eine Neuinstallation durchführt > Organizer stürzt immernoch ab

Hallo Zusammen !
Habe das gleiche Problem!
Zwar nicht nach einigen Sekunden, sondern je nachdem, was ich mache - nicht reproduzierbar, sondern sehr willkürlich - z.B. beim Importieren, beim Anzeigen des Pfades, beim Importieren aus Ordnern, die links im Pfad stehen, usw. Grundsätzlich erscheint das "Programm funktioniert nicht mehr"-Fenster von Windows 7.
Ich rufe auch die beiden Programme Organizer und Editor nicht mehr über den ursprünglich vom Programm installierten Aufruf auf - wo man am Anfang die Wahl zwischen Organizer und Editor hat - dann stürzte ewig und grundsätzlich auch der Editor ab.
Hab mir für beide Programme eine Desktop-Verknüpfung gemacht und seitdem gehts mit dem Editor einigermassen, doch der Organizer ist echt krass. Aber das wurde bei Version 8 ja schon bemängelt, dass das Organizer-Programm viele (kleine) Fehler hat, die zu häufigen Abstürzen führen. Allerdings finde ich, dass ein Fehler, der ein Programm vollständig zum Absturz bringt nicht unbedingt klein zu nennen ist ! Auch sollte man - meiner bescheidenen Meinung nach - ein Programm erstmal einigermassen fehlerfrei machen, bevor man sich an eine neue Version setzt - sonst schleppt man alte Fehler immer weiter mit !
Offensichtlich ist es mal wieder so, dass der EndKunde auch EndTester ist und das bei einem Programm, dass weder Free- noch Share sondern teure BezahlSoftware ist !!
Ich hoffe es lesen auch einige Adobe-Entwickler hier mal mit, setzen sich auf Ihren Hintern und beseitigen die vorliegenden Fehler erstmal, bevor wir User für Version 10.0 oder das Update von 9 nach 10 erneut zur Kasse gebeten werden !
Sollte einer von meinen Leidensgenossen inzwischen eine Lösung gefunden haben, so wäre ich dankbar für einen Hinweis !
Grüße, BikeFunJR

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.
What project preset did you use?
Where did the clip come from?
How did you get it into PRE?
Post back here with the necessary information described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started

This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful! My email: [email protected]
Good luck.
Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer? It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
<C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called: PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website. <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
Hope this helps.

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!
