Instant Movie Themes

Does anyone know where I can download new movie themes for Adobe Premier Elements 9? I keep typing this question into google, for this specific version, and answers for every version but this one keep coming up. Am I the only one that owns this version? I have several Instant movie themes for it already, the ones that came with it, but I am working on a project, and none of them are what I am looking for or needing, so I really need more options.

Have you downloaded all the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 content?

If so, then you probably have as much as is available. There were scattered reports on how to make one's own, but the bottom line (easy way) seems to be, if you want something different than what Adobe has provided, then you take Adobe's Instant Movie and customize it. After the Instant Movie is created, you can right click it on the Timeline and select Break Apart Instant Movie. Then do your editing of the components that went into the Instant Movie.

Is there somewhere that I can buy additional instant movie themes for Adobe Premiere Elements 12?

Just wondering if there are any additional themes that are available to purchase and download for the program? Thank you.

As to your thread question..not that I have ever run into. You can customize the Adobe Instant Movies by creating an Instant Movie and then using the Break Apart Instant Movie at the Timeline level to do just that and modify that just created Instant Movie as wanted.
There are no additional theme to purchase. And, the existing Instant Movie (Content Download type) for an Adobe design needs to be downloaded from within the program (See Instant Movie display of choices and thumbnail with blue ban at the top right corner of that thumbnail. Select Download Now (to obtain completed files for theme) or Download All (to obtain completed files for All Instant Movie theme choices).

Instant Movie Themes Download Error

I have just upgraded to PE11 and have a series of jpg images in a PE file that I was trying to create as a slideshow.
I have been using the expert view (although I cannot see that makes any difference) and thought I would try out the instant movie themes.
The Pan and Zoom theme works fine, but I cannot get any of the other themes to work. Selecting the theme and clicking the next button, PE11 shows the dialogue box in the attached image suggesting it is downloading content. BUT, it never finishes and just cycles around the download with the blue bar filling, clearing and then starting again. There is no error message, just a constant cycling of the blue bar.
Has anyone else come across this?
Thanks.

As you can see, the program will download the other themes as needed. That's what it's trying to do in the illustration you provided.
Have you registered the program and signed in with your Adobe ID?
Do you have a good, reliable internet connection?
If the answer to both of those questions is yes, you may have just caught the Adobe site offline. Try again. Depending on your internet speed, it can take a couple of minutes.

Is there a link to any NEW instant movie theme's?

I am looking a link to any NEW instant movie theme's, just got Elements 13 and there is still the old theme's, looking for somthing new. Anyone?

Nothing beats about:blank in my opinion for clarity and for tab history.
Here is an extension that does what you asked for, it is VERY large for what you get out it (which to me, what I would get out of it is confusion).
'''NewTabURL''' :: Add-ons for Firefox (49.2 KB)
:Select default URL when new tabs are opened: "Blank page", "Home page", ""Current page" or a user defined URL.

Best method to combine Instant Movie (Theme) with regular video?

I’m creating a video and I would like to use a theme for a slideshow, yet leave the rest of the video (first 16 minutes) alone. I currently have two separate projects, one with my regular video footage and one project with the instant movie theme. So, if there is a way to copy and paste one project into another that would be perfect, yet I have not seen that option. What is the best way to accomplish this? I was thinking I could export the instant movie and then add the media to my existing project, yet I’m not sure what format to use so I don’t lose quality. The video is AVCHD (1920 x 1024), and I would eventually like to burn everything to a Blue-ray disc when I get a burner, yet for now DVD will do. Thoughts?

I like the idea of doing everything in one project, yet I’m guessing I would have an issue with doing so since the video in the timeline has been edited and the video within the available media section is the raw video (I think that is correct). However, this should work great for the stills, yet I’m not sure about the video.
My main concern is torching the non-theme video by applying a theme…
To do what you are saying; would I simply select the images (hold down CTRL and select or smart tag them?) from the media selection screen within the interface and…?

Downloading Instant Movie Themes -Premiere Elements 13

I am using an HP 350 G1 with Windows 7 64 bit system. When trying to create and instant movie and attempting to download any theme, it is taking a long time to download and frequently says the download failed and that either I have lost my internet connection or the server is unavailable. I hit retry and it seems to continue but gets stuck at the end saying "completing download".

ndreeya
Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 64 bit. Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates? If not, please do so.
But to the matter of the Instant Movie content downloads. Is the issue restricted to Instant Movie or to other content download as well.
What is the down/up Internet speeds?
The loss of the Adobe content installation disc has been of concern. But, I managed with content download with my DSL Internet (with
speeds in the Kbps (kilobits per second). The content download was often time consuming but did eventually go to completion. Recently
I was forced into an Internet change, resulting in Internet speeds that are in the megabits per second range. What a difference in Content download.
So, let us look at the Internet speeds first and then decide what next if those do not explain the situation you face obtaining content download.
Have you check with your Internet provider to determine if there are problems with your Internet connection? Did you clear the browser Options/Advanced/Network/Cached Web Content and turned off the route for about 45 seconds?
Looking forward to your results.
Thank you.

Is there an instant movie theme suitable for Real Estate videos with Premiere Plus?

Most of the themes are very flashy/snappy/loud. Before I pay $50. I would like to know that there is a theme suitable for a short real estate video of a neighborhood and walkthrough of a home. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
I hesitated to reply, as I have only used Themes once, and then totally reconstructed the Effects. I also do not have PrE 10, so you probably have more Themes, but I am not sure that any is really suitable for your described Project. I was hoping that Steve, Neale, John T., or others, who might have more familiarity with Themes, would show up, but they have not - yet.
Looking through the Themes that I have, and even putting on my creative hat, to image how one might work as a base, and then be heavily modified for your Project, I am coming up almost at a total loss. The closest that I could come would be the Travel Theme, where the Locations (in the Theme) are changed to the houses in a neighborhood. Yes, that IS a stretch, but the best that I can come up with.
I agree with you that the Themes, in their stock form, are flashy, loud and most suited for a short treatment, that would be shown to young children, sort of like many things at a Disney themepark - bright lights that flash, loud SFX and music, bright colors, etc..Hardly suitable for a commercial, professional Video.
Now, when you write:
Before I pay $50. I would like to know that there is a theme suitable...
Are you contemplating buying a "Theme Pack," (have not seen such) or similar, or do you mean, before you buy PrE?
If the former, can you point to the source of that Theme Pack, and I will look over the details. If you mean the latter, PrE is in no way restricted to those Themes. I have used PrE for many years, and have used but one Theme (heavily modified), in all that time. I have created many commercial, business Videos, so the program has all the power that you need - just not with their Themes.
If you are contemplating the purchase of PrE, can you outline the material that you will be working with, a few of your ideas on the aesthetics, that you would like to incorporate, any technical thoughts, and give us an idea of how you will want to deliver the Video. We can help you make that decision, as to whether PrE is the right tool.
While I have not seen any of the newer versions, AVID/Pinnacle's Studio program (probably up to ~ 15 now) has, or had, similar with their Instant Movie. However, back to about Studio 10, those were in the same vein, as PrE's Themes (nearly useless, and often rather odd, though usually funny, and maybe not in the way intended?). Back through about 10, I cannot imagine one of those being useful for your purpose, but might have missed one, and Pinnacle might have finally added some that ARE useful.
Good luck, and please let us know a bit more.

Custom Instant Movie themes?

Is there a possibility to make your own themes for Instant Movie in PE 11?
Are we stuck with themes that are already on list or will Adobe make this list bigger with time?:)

At one time, along with PrE, came a subacription to Adobe.com, and for Plus Members (additional subscription fee), US (only) members could download some additional themes, however the list of offerings were not that extensive, and many people were dissatisfied. I do not know of that possibility now, and have not heard of any Plus membership in some years now.
One possibility, though I think that it might fall a bit short, would be to choose a Theme, and then edit that, changing thing about.
Another would be to go to Muvipix.com, as there are many custom Menu Sets, plus several active members there, have spent a lot of time changing, and customizing things in PrE. I do not recall seeing any custom themes, but I am certain that some Muvipix folk have tried, and can give you tips, and maybe even point you to other sources: www.muvipix.com
Good luck, and if you DO find some custom Themes, or find ways to create your own, please update this thread, to help others in the future.

Instant movie themes do not load in PE 11

I installed the trial version of PE 11 on my Windows 7 desktop. When I load a video clip and click on Instant Movie, it shows me a list of themes. After I select a theme and click next, it shows me a box that keeps on saying "Downloading online content", but never stops. I gave it about 15 minutes, but it still does not go beyond that point. Before buying this software I would like to know whether PE 11 goes online to load each and every movie theme, or does the paid version come with themes on the disk, that can be loaded faster from the computer? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Sankalpit,
That is my understanding from Adobe engineers. I have not gotten my PrE 11 set yet, so I cannot verify that. Maybe others can.
I was pointing out issues with the Additional Functional Content installing into the 32-bit program folders, where if the user had the 64-bit version, it would not see that Additional Functional Content, though it was properly installed. The reply that I got was that they would look into the issues, but that all Additional Functional Content was now downloaded from on-line, that would not be a problem with PrE 11.
Also, as one can switch a trial version to full-paid, just by inserting their S/N, when they purchase, there should be no reason to uninstall, then reinstall.
As for a URL, I do not have one, but will search to see if Adobe has put up a separate one. As several other things happen, regarding Activation of certain modules in PrE, that have to be handled via the Internet, it could be that that is the only method that Adobe is offering - right from the program.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I overcome the Failed Downloads for Instant Movies from the Adobe Server?

I have a Windows 8.1 PC , Premiere Elements ver. 12, and I have a dedicated DSL for computer only. In my best efforts, even when disabling McAfee completely, I have had almost 4 days of frustration trying to download an Instant Movie from the online content server. At times the DL works, slowly, then it pauses, sometimes the DL reverses the count and I lose 10mb and it resumes (I have never seen that before). Most frustrating is when the DL is nearly complete and the message pops up that I need to check my connection as the download has failed. I have 1.6TB disc space, and no restrictions in place at my end. I tried from 2 of the PCs, both Win 8.1. I have tried at all hours of the day for traffic on the server, but that doesn't seem to matter. I have attempted the Secret Agent file DL at best 10x. Is there a setting I need to change to receive this content, or go to a different site where I can directly access this content?
I have purchased Three PE 12 programs for 3 replacement PCs and I need some real direction.
Thank you, Jerry

There will be those that report Content download of a few minutes. Although we are happy for them, many have found that this is not usually the case. Download of the Premiere Elements 11 and 12 Content download is often a slow process which demands a lot of patience whether the download be "Download Now" or "Download All". Just two of the factors in this situation are the Internet Speed/Status and the status of the Adobe Server. Many times it is time of the day.

I have DSL Service on the east coast of the USA. It is now about 6 pm Saturday February 22, 2014.
I right clicked the blue ban at the top right corner of the Instant Movie thumbnail for the Secret Agent theme. I selected Download Now to download just that one Instant Movie theme.
a. The file size was given as 75.8 MB, not 118.7 MB. It took 11 minutes and 19 seconds to download that Instant Movie.
I checked the download on two different computers, one Windows 7 64 bit and the other Windows 8.1 64 bit. The Instant Movie Secret Agent had a file size of 75.8 MB according to the download pop up in the opened project.
b. If you are talking days for this download, then I would first check with your Internet provider. There is no other place for these downloads except from within the program. And, when you do get them, I would encourage you to save them as per my blog posts on this topic to avoid having to go through an labored downloading processes again.
Do you find the downloading of Content to be the same for all the other categories requiring this type of download, not just Instant Movies?
Please review and update us on your progress.
Thank you.

Add On...Although you did say that you disabled McAfee, be advised that McAfee's recent update(s) have created some serious problems for Premiere Elements. So, I would re-evaluate McAfee's possible role in all this along with the firewalls settings.

I am unable to access all the different Movie Themes in Elements.

I have Premiere Elements 10. I do not have Photoshop.com Plus Membership. I am trying to make an Instant Movie, but not all the movie themes are availble to me since I do not have Plus Membership. How can I access all the different Instant Movie Themes? Is there something I need to purchase?

Well, there are three groups of Instant Movie Themes.
The first is a very limited subset, installed with the program. I do not know the count, but I would expect maybe 1 - 3.
Then, there is a additional subset, which is much larger, and installed with the Additional Functional Content, which contains DVD/BD Menus, Titles, etc. (in addition to the few installed with the program). This is where the bulk of the Themes, etc. are. It depends on whether one installed from physical media, or from a download file. With the physical, it is a separate installation, done after the program has been installed, and on a separate disc, in most cases. With a download, it is a separate download file. Did you install from physical media, or a download.
Last, with a Photoshop.com Plus membership, from time to time, Adobe made a very few extra Themes available for download, but not that many, and a lot of subscribers were dissatisfied with that extra content. Though I have never seen the Plus material, it seemed that Adobe would offer maybe one holiday-oriented Theme per Season, i.e. a Halloween Theme in October, etc.
Please let us know a bit more,

Editing in Instant Movie and Timeline issues

Hi, I'm new to Adobe and I am having a difficult time with Instant Movie. I am trying to edit video in Instant Movie. I have cut and pieced the videos I want to use and I am able to view it and it is what I want to put in the Instant Movie theme, but when I tried to choose Instant Movie and select this clips I have put together it is telling me I must have a video in the video 1 section. When I look at the timeline for the video I have , it starts with Video 2, I have tried to delete empty space but it doesn't move them, how can I move the videos I have down to start with video 1.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

One additional workaround would be to use an audio program, like Adobe Audition, or the freeware, Audacity, to convert to PCM/WAV stereo. Since PE cannot Export in DD 5.1 SS, unless one uses the Minnetonka SurCode stand-alone encoder (~US$600). Unfortunately, the plug-in version (~US$250) is not available for PE - only PrPro.

Premiere Elements 12-Instant movie option

I just recently purchased Premiere Elements 12 so I am a newbie. I like the effects in one of the instant movie options, specifically the news reel one. However, I want to put the photos that I am using in a certain order, but the instant movie rearranges them. Is there a way to make it use my order? I also want to center a photo within the box on the part of the clip with the coffee mug and reel on a desk. Is there a way to do that too? Thanks in advance!

dm
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? For now, I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
1. For order of photos in News Reel Instant Movie, in setup,
Top
no check mark next to AutoEdit
dot next to Entire Movie
check mark next to AutoAnalyzer
no dot for selected clips
Duration
dot the Use All Clips
2. To center a photo in the finished Instant Movie
Right click the finished Instant Movie on the Timeline, and select Break Apart Instant Movie.
That command will do just that. Once the Instant Movie is broken apart, then find the photos
on the Timeline and move and resize them carefully.
If you need further details, please let me know.
Thanks.

PrEl 9. Do star ratings affect Instant movie results?

Hi everybody.
Do the star ratings that you assign to your videos in the Elements Organizer have any weigh or effect on the clips that are chosen by Adobe when you do an Instant Movie project?
I fist did a (rather typical) zoo movie, where the elefant turned out to be the main subject of the instant movie rather than my family. I guess the elefant clip was better iluminated, steady, etc and had the right smart tags so that it was shown a lot of times.
In another project for one of my kid's birthday I assigned star ratings to the clips that I liked before I ran the auto analyzer and created an instant movie. In the end I had more of the clips I liked in my instant movie.
I don't know if this was mere coincidence or if star rating had anything to do with it. I couldn't find any reference to star ratings in the premiere elements help where it talks about instant movie projects.
What has been your experience on this?
Thanks,
Asdrubal.

Thank you Steve.
I know the star rating doesn't affect the clips, I just wondered if they had any effect on the Instant Movie algorithms.
Like you say they must be only for personal reference, as there is no mention of them in the instant movie help files.
