How to Work With Still Images in Premiere Elements 10

I am struggling with the still images in my Titles for my video project, and would really appreciate some help. I have done a lot of googling on this and searched this forum, but can't seem to find the answer I need, maybe not searching the right questions or just "not getting it". Not even PE Adobe tips or Adobe TV cover this, although it seems important to know. I am not clear how PE10 will handle the resolution of an imported still image or graphic art from Photoshop. Perhaps this topic will also help others as well.
I am working on a video project for my job, editing an old training video. Created new Title graphics in Photoshop, inserted the Title images and integrated with video clips, then exported the video segments as MPEG files. I burned the whole video to DVD.
When the final DVD plays on a computer or TV screen, the photo images in the titles are fuzzy even though they were clear 300 dpi images. (I know dpi doesn't matter in video). The title text is also a bit fuzzy and the title text that has animation applied to it is even more fuzzy. Yet the old MPEG video clips look fine - it's just my title graphics and text that look bad (embarrasing).
So I need to know how to improve the quality of the still images/graphics for a video??
Project settings:
- Hard Disk, Standard 48kHz
- Editing Mode: DV NTSC
- Frame: 720 x 480 (0.9091)
- Frame rate: 29.97fps
- with "Optimize Stills" box checked
Using these settings because I am working with MPEG files from an old training video CD.
File Export: MPEG, NTSC DVD Standard
I export the video clips as MPEGS because they will be burned to a CD or DVD for distribution to our staff offices.
Work Details:
In Photoshop, I created still image graphics for each Title sized at 720 x480 with high resolution photos and company logo (300 dpi), and save them as a bitmap to import into PE10. In the Timeline, I insert the still image in "Video 1" track, then in Video 2 track create a Title over it for text (some animated, some still). Sometimes I stack 2 or three titles with text in separate video tracks over one still title image. Yes, there is a red line across the top in the Timeline because I didn't render the still images.
Questions:
• What is the best resolution for images imported into PE10 from Photoshop?
• Should I be creating title graphics/images at 720 x 480 or a larger ratio like 1920 x 1080 so it will display better when seen on a computer or TV?
• Do I need to render each title image in the timeline so that it will eventually display better in the MPEG?
• Is it better to create a title and then insert the still image into the title so they are integrated, rather than layered on separate video tracks?
I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

When the final DVD plays on a computer or TV screen, the photo images in the titles are fuzzy even though they were clear 300 dpi images. (I know dpi doesn't matter in video). The title text is also a bit fuzzy and the title text that has animation applied to it is even more fuzzy. Yet the old MPEG video clips look fine - it's just my title graphics and text that look bad (embarrasing).
Remember that DVD-Video was designed for CRT TV sets, and was a major step up from VHS tape. However, when viewed on an HD computer monitor, or HD TV *, it is still ONLY 720 x 480, with is about 1/4 of the resolution as 1920 x 1080, which is about what we are used to seeing on those display devices. That is but only 25% of the quality. It can never look as good as HD material.
Good luck, and if I missed something, please point that out to me.

* With the advent of BD players, and up-rezzing DVD players, things HAVE improved, when viewing a DVD-Video on an HD TV. The newer players have up-rezzing chips, that do a very good job of "improving" the viewed material's quality. However, even with those amazing chips, DVD-Video will NEVER be as good as a full-HD source. Also, computers do not have those up-rezzing chips, so when one views a DVD-Video on a high-rez computer monitor, it will still look pretty bad. There ARE a couple of new DVD software players, that improve the quality of DVD-Video played on a high-rez computer monitor, and a few look fairly promising. I speculate that we will see some more development in the DVD-Video area, especially as BD is not proving to be the big seller, that many promised. Even 3D is not helping BD realize its promise.

Stills rotated in premiere elements 10

Hello everyone. Can anyone help me with a problem I'm having with Photoshop Elements 10 /Premiere Elements 10? I'm making a slideshow consisting of video and stills. Upon moving the project from photo elements to prem elements some but not all of my stills have been rotated right 90 degrees. What's going on and how do I fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Mr. Hackonabike
Although your Premiere Elements 10 is running on Windows 7 64 bit as a 64 bit application, your results are pointing to you stressing out the system with grossly oversized stills (and 290 of them). As appropriate, resize or crop resize to 1920 x 1080 16:9. Use of those high resolution photos typically do not get you better end product quality and only serve to stress out the program as it attempts to reduce them to the sizing of the format.
This is my suggestion....
If your stills are 16:9, then resize them to 1920 x 1080 and use them in the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor if you prefer to build the slideshow there.
If your stills are 3:2 or 4:3, then crop resize them to 1920 x 1080 maintaining the 16:9 and then use them in the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor.
When you do go to output the slideshow from the Elements Organizer 10 Slideshow Editor, use the Output command Edit With Premiere Elements Editor.
But before you hit the output choice, open Premiere Elements 10 and make sure that you set the project preset in the new project dialog as
PAL
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p25
Then output the slideshow from the Elements Organizer 10 Slideshow Editor to the opened Premiere Elements 10 with the project preset you just set.
If you decide that you want to do some more significant edits of the slideshow in Premiere Elements, right click the .psess video version of the intact slideshow that was placed automatically on your Timeline in the transfer from Elements Organizer to Premiere Elements, and select Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow.
Add disc menus if you want. Do not bother with stop markers if your destination is a burn to Blu-ray disc. Stop markers do not function in the playback of the Blu-ray disc.
Then Share/Disc/Blu-ray and select your appropriate preset.
How much installed and available RAM does your computer have and how much free hard drive space does you computer have. You want to make sure
that the Premiere Elements scratch disks are directed to a hard drive save location with enough space to accept them. See Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks.
Some can get away with letting the program do the resizing, some cannot. Level of computer resources is a major factor.
Please review and consider. Any questions, please ask.
Thanks.

Add On...In future project, you might want to consider building the slideshow in Premiere Elements, followed by the burn to there.

How to burn to ISO image in Premiere Elements 12.1 under Windows 8.1 64bit?

I really struggle - is there no way to burn from PE12.1 to ISO image (under Win 8.1)?

Motajko
There is no way to take your Timeline content to an ISO Image in Premiere Elements 12/12.1 on Windows 8.1 64 bit with just Premiere Elements 12/12.1 by itself.
Premiere Elements 13 is the first to offer a Burn To: option of ISO Image for DVD, AVCHD, and Blu-ray. Which one of those choices are you seeking (or all of them)?
If you cannot make due with the Burn To: Folder for DVD and AVCHD, then you can get your ISO Image from 12/12.1 in the following round about way....
Let us do AVCHD ISO Image as the example...
1. Burn your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Timeline using Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD, Burn To: = Folder (4.7 GB).
2. Take the BDMV Folder from the saved folder into the free ImgBurn program and export is as a ISO file.using the category named
Create Image File from Files/Folder.
3. When you need the disc product, you can take that ISO file to disc in ImgBurn using the category named Write Image File To Disc.
For more information on ISO Image and Premiere Elements, please review the following link's content
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Disc Image/Phantom Burner & PE
After you review and consider the above, we can discuss the matter further if needed.
Thank you.

Downloading and installing the free ImgBurn needs caution since it is known to travel with unwanted carry alongs.

Can not make still image using share in Final Cut Pro x

This is what I get when trying to make a still image under share.
(com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)
This is a new error message. Was able to make still image before.
Thanks for anny help in solving this problem.
Russ Andris

Hi again Russ,
just posted this over at Compressor because of the Compressor related error message I was getting wheN i tried to 'Share' a sill image from video.
Thanks for the tip Russ, I did not know that one. I had tried using cmd+shift+3 with Snapz Pro to screen capture which intially worked but then did not. I tried ditching the prefs and the apps with Digital Rebellion but had no luck in saving a still. But, I installed the new FCPX update and on first try I was able to export a stll frame, on one laptop anyway. BTW, must say, I am not keen on the 'Share' notion in an app like FCPX. What I considering I am doing when trying to obtain a stil image is exporting or saving not sharing. I hope Apple might considered amending such terminology, share seems appropriate for iTunes or iWeb but not FCPX.
One more thing, a truly odd one. Files marled as .mov from my Fujifilm X100 will not import into FCPX!!
That is truly amazing - Quicktime files not recognised by an Apple aplication!! Our trials are not over.

Hi, anybody know what is the new maximum dimensions of still images in Premiere CC?
Is it still 256 megapixel (like CS5, CS5.5, and CS6)?
Thanks for the answers!
Bye!

Yes still the same.
Do you want to import files that are larger then 32,768 pixels in e.g. either direction

Loss of still photos in Premiere Elements 10

I have recently installed Premiere Elements 12 and have Prem El 9 & 10 also installed. I am using the book "Classroom in a Book" to gain experience in 12. To undertake the exercises I had to use the project setting NTSC-AVCHD. My normal setting is PAL HD. When I went back to projects in 10 the still photos were shown as "media off line". The videos were still correctly present. The stills were quite OK in Elements 10. How can I get the projects in 10 back? (I have tried re-setting the project setting to PAL HD).

Wendy and Scott
Please clarify from where you are missing stills - in the Elements Organizer and/or the Premiere Elements workspace (media area and/or Timeline).
Are you moving, deleting, renaming files and folders involved in a project after you have saved/closed the project?
Premiere Elements 10 project.prel (provided its source media are connected) can usually be opened in Premiere Elements 12 by right clicking the 10 project.prel file, selecting Open With, and then Premiere Elements 12. Since 12 edited project.prel cannot be edited again in 10, best make a copy of 10 project.prel for the editing in version 12.
Also, if you have important entries in the Elements Organizer 10 and you want them in Elements Organizer 12, look into 10 catelog conversion in Elements Organizer 12.

Disappearing still photos in Premiere Elements 12

I'm creating a video with Premiere Elements 12. I have video clips as well as still images and separate narration tracks to bring together in it. Thing is, the program isn't showing the photos, although I can hear the narration. Any solutions for this? The media were newly imported, so they are definitely linked properly. I also tried moving them up to video track 2, but same outcome.
Thanks.

Zoe
Please confirm if you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 12/12.1? Are your running the program as administrator?
At the present time, your problems are extending to video (that QuickTime movie) as well as your photos. Let us go through the following drill questions
1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
2. Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of mouse?
4. Are you using any high contrast Windows 7 themes?
Depending on your answers, the next steps might be
1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole
12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders,
and Drives enabled so that you can see the whole path cited.
2. Uninstall the program, do a free ccleaner run through (regular and registry cleaner parts), reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
CCleaner - Download
Then download and install the 12.1 Update from an opened project's Help Menu/Updates.
Let us rule in or out the above factors.
Thanks.

Weird image in Premiere Elements

I captured some images from a game with Fraps. As I always do. I had 32 bit Premiere Elements and that worked perfect. But now I downloaded 64 bit version. And my captures look aweful. Like very fast moving, big pixels and vage, blur, not clear.
What has happend?
When I use the same capture in Windows Live Movie Maker it is perfect, sharp and exactly as I recorded it.
What do I have to do?
Thank you
Britty

Britty
Lots of possibilities here.
1. Does your computer use a NVIDIA video card? If so, there is an epidemic of display issues related specifically to Premiere Elements 10 users with NVIDIA video card. The fix is to roll back the driver instead of assuring that you have the latest driver version installed. Please refer to:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
2. The next possibilities relates to the scenario which resulted in your Premiere Elements 10 as 64 bit application on Windows 7 64 bit. Depending on the circumstances, I am wondering if an uninstall Fraps and reinstall Fraps (latest version) might be needed to supply a compatible Fraps codec.
a. What was the before version of Premiere Elements?
b. What was the before operating system on which "a" was running?
Thanks.

Stacking video frames to make still image - help please

Question:
I want to take 2 seconds of video ( 60 frames )and stack all the video frames to make one still image.
I just tried to do this in Photoshop CS3 but found out that this requires CS3 extended version. Is there a stacking feature in Final Cut Express? ( Or in iMovie6 ?)
Any ideas welcome as to how to accomplish this task.
Thank you in advance.
Tom

I would say the best advice has already been given, which would be to use a still camera with a long shutter speed. However I suspect you already have your footage and would need to wait for another opportunity to do this. I'd say the next best option would be a motion blur filter, I think stacking each frame would have its problems.
You can easily export your 2 seconds of video to single frame images by exporting to an image sequence, you could then import each still as a layer into photoshop. You would probably find that other stars (having 60 images on top of each other) would be very bright and stand out like a bird of paradise's mating ritual, unless you adjusted the opacity of each which you would likely need to do for the whole of the image excepting the shooting star. I'd say it can be done, but it sounds like a bit of work.

Show file names on still images in Premiere CS6

I need to know if there is a method in Premiere CS6 to have the file names of still images displayed, without manually making title cards for each one. I have over 400 images to treat and any automated process would be helpful.

If you have Indesign you might want to have a look at this tutorial for making multiple titles for Premiere.

How do I make still Images the same size as the video when importing? CS5

Hi,
I'm having a problem importing and using still images as they are so large.
The video is 720 x 576 and the image I want to use is 4752 x 3168
How can I scale it down to fit with the video. Currently it just zooms in to a part of the picture making it pretty useless.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Lois

I made a tutorial on this exact thing.

Still getting a warped effect when rotating a still image in Premiere

Hi all,
I'm trying to rotate a perfectly round object in Premiere 6 on Windows 7.
First of all, I am now importing this round object in a square PSD file layer and setting it to "Maintain Aspect Ratio" under "Clip>Video Options".
When this perfectly round object in a perfectly, numerically square PSD file is set to sit still or to move laterally or vertically, it stays round, but when I put a rotate motion on it in the Motion Settings dialog box, I end up with an oblong, horizontally elliptical spinning image in my rendered video.
Is there a way to fix this besides trying (virtually impossible) to compensate for the distortion with the "Distortion" control in the Motion Settings dialog box?
Previously, someone else on this forum answered a similar question this way...
"Remember, Premiere Rotates on the rectangular Frame, and not by an object in that Frame."
So I thought if my imported PSD layer is square, fitting the proportions of my circular object that I am rotating, then it will hold on to its circular shape when rotated, as opposed to making my PSD size rectangular to fit the movie format... but I tried importing a perfectly and numerically square PSD that perfectly fits the proportions of my perfectly and numerically round object and I still get an oblong, warped rotating image in my final rendered AVI file. But the rotating image does appear to stay round when I preview the project in the monitor window by holding down on the ALT button a dragging (scrubbing) the cursor along the timeline.
I can see that the round object that I am rotating becomes horizontally oblong and oval shaped when it hits the 90 degree, three o'clock position, then becomes perfectly round again when it hits the 180 degree, six o'clock position, then becomes horizontally oblong and oval shaped again at the 270 degree, nine o'clock position, then becomes perfectly round again at the 360 degree, twelve o'clock position.
This would indicate that if I try to compensate for this strangeness by altering my original round PSD file object to be a vertically elliptical shape to compensate, then it would be vertically oblong at the zero degree, 180 degree and 360 degree positions, meaning the twelve and six o'clock positions.
Is there a way to correct or compensate for this odd behaviour in Premiere 6?
Thanks for any input,

Importing still images to Premiere Pro CS5

I have some still digital images in my computer which I want to use for a project for class.
The problem I find is that when I import the images they are too big and only a portion of shows.
Apparently the size of the image has to be 720 wide x 480 tall.
How do I resize it to that scale?
Please help.

Correction: I redid the whole thing as I was using the wrong image. But anyhow, this is the scenario.
My project requires images close to 720 wide x 480 tall. My image is 3264 x 2448
When I resized I couldn't use 720 width as the "constrain proportions" makes the height 540.
The latter being greater than the 480... so I have selected (with the right image now) 640 width and it automatically inserts a height of 480.
This is better than the previous dimensions with the wrong image so I guess I might be ok. What do you think?
