Merging two projects with Premiere elements 12.

Hello,
On my computer (windows 7) i have different directories with movie-fragments. From each directory i made a movieproject. It took a long time to trim everything. Now i have one project from 1,5 hours and another from 20 minutes. I would like to put the two projects together and then cut it into two projects. I was suprised that i could not do that. I could not copy the movie with titles in one project and copy it to the other project. Also i could not find any way to import one movie into the other. Very strange. I would think that this is a basic function the program should have.
I found out that i can work of course with the Project Asset and import the moviefragments again, but then i have to trim everything again.
I could also export one movie as for example AVI and then insert it with the Project Asset into the other project. But then i have no possibility to change the titles and transitions.
Does anyone know a way to merge two projects?????
Many thanks, Stephan

Important: What version of Premiere Elements are you referring to in the above? Or, are you referring to another program that is not Premiere Elements?
No version of Premiere Elements allows the user to open one project file (project.prel file) in another.
You can copy/paste insert between two project files (project.prel) using ClipMate in conjunction with Premiere Elements. You cannot do a copy/paste insert between projects without ClipMate in use with Premiere Elements. The How To for this Windows Only feature is found
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe-clipmate-copypaste-between-pe.html
The alternative is to export your project 1 Timeline "trim" selectively to a file saved to the computer hard drive and then import that export into project 2.
In this workflow considerations need to include project 1 export format consistent with project 2 import settings.
So, we need details to explain the why not for

In the first part, what were your export settings from project 1 and your project preset for project 2.
In the second part, did you use ClipMate with Premiere Elements or something else?
What you want to do sounds very doable so we need to discover the whys to get to the solution.
Thank you.

Editing Premiere cs4 project with premiere elements 9?

Can I open a premiere cs4 project with premiere elements 9 to edit it.
Thanks in advance

You are most welcome, though it's probably not the answer that you wanted.
There are just so very many differences between the two programs. As a test recently, I took a PREL from PrE 8, IIRC, and it would not even open in my PrPro 2.0, like my simple PrE 4 Projects would. That PrE 8 test Project was also simple, with no Themes, or Instant Movies - just Cuts and some common Transitions, no Effects. Just too different to Open.
Good luck,
Hunt

I'm going to throw out a somewhat educated guess and say no. Despite the similar monikers, Premiere Elements and Premiere Pro are two different programs.

CREATING "MASTER" PROJECT WITH PREMIERE ELEMENTS (PRE)

I am creating a new thread following up on earlier questions re Premiere Elements 8.0 (PRE).
I have created (authored?) 14 projects with music using PRE and burned each on 1 DVD. I did not save to a folder, but went to Share and Burn Disc. They show well on TV from an ordinary DVD player. Now I must combine these projects into 3 "master" projects on 3 DVDs and burn multiple copies to send to former members of my Boy Scout Troop. See the chart below. I thought (silly me) that I could do that straightforwardly with PRE. I am going to start following suggestions from Bill Hunt and Nealeh.

Hey, those ain't "newbie" questions. The first one gets posted to the Forum Comments forum weekly. The second one, well I should have posted my normal detail, but got lazy - mea culpa, mea culpa.
1.) This ARTICLE should step you through the processes with the e-mails. If you have any questions, let us know. There are several places, where e-mail notification can be turned ON and OFF. Some are global, and some are specific to threads.*
2.) Ah, the ImgBurn site. The top 2/3 are all ads. Hey, it's great free software, so who can blame 'em? Scroll down to where the page has the various versions and what they addressed. There is a Download button there (well below those ads). That is what you want. Normally, I mention the scrolling way down page, but you caught me here.
Good luck,
Hunt
* Going back a few months, while trying to help another user on the Forum Comments forum, I got hit with a global change in my e-mail settings.

I have a PC with Windows 8. I purchased Photoshop Elements 13 with Premiere Elements 13 Feb 9. I think I downloaded both today (each took about 15 minutes to download). Each appeared to have two components. When I attempted to run the exc piece, I received an error message. I don't know what to do next?

if the error message was about a missing archive, you need to place both the exe and 7z files in the same directory for photoshop elements. and then do the same for premiere elements.
then click the exe in each directory.

Low Memory/Crash problem with Premiere Elements 8

I am having a problem when editing a project in Premiere Elements 8. I can only edit for about 5 minutes and I get an error from the program saying the program is low on system memory and I need to save and proceed with caution. Within a minute or two of this error appearing, the program shuts down. This has happened when working with projects that use .MTS and .AVI files in the same project.
Help!
Thanks!

Editing on two computers with Premiere

I have two copies of premiere elements. One on IMac and one on Macbook. Video files on external drive. I want to be able to edit same project on both. I originally started the project on macbook but IMac doesn't see the exsisting project. Can I do this? thanks for the help

As long as you have your +source media files+ (video clips, audio files, stills, etc.) and your +FCE Project file+ on your external drive, you will be able to switch from one computer to the other for editing. Just make sure you are using the exact same version of FCE on both computers. And it will certainly help if you specify the same FCE scratch disk location (ie, your external drive) on both computers.
As for +render files+ and +cache files,+ forget about trying to use them on two computers. When you move from one computer to the other, they are unlikely to be usable. Trash them and plan to re-render when you switch from one computer to the other.

Problems with Premiere Elements 9.0.1 on Mac OS X Lion

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Lion and I am having several stability issues with Premiere Elements 9.0.1 now. None of these issues occurred on Snow Leopard. I experienced these issues on a machine that was upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion after Premier Elements 9.0.1 was installed and I also had problems with a Premiere Elements installation on a clean install of OS X Lion.
I noticed the following issues:
1) System hangs when trying to save a project. The "save" window stays open at 100% completion.
2) Nothing happens when dragging footage to sceneline. The clips do show up on the timeline, though
3) System crashed when trying to upload a video to YouTube
Could you please get these issues fixed and provide a patch for Premiere Elements?
Thanks.
Ralph

Load old projects in Premiere Elements 10 - Titles corrupt

Hi,
if I open video projects I created with Premiere Elements 8 in Premiere Elements 10, all my text in the titles is missing.
Even if I export the titles manually as .prtl files from PE 8 and import them into PE 10, the text is still corrupt, since all text boxes seems to have a width of 0.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks
Konrad

Km,
Since the specs. of Titles has not changed in many versions, and they are defined by pretty solid XML, this surprises me. That you are having issues with PRTL Templates is a bigger puzzle, as they should work in all versions, at least back to about PrE 3. Something else is wrong.
This is but a guess, here, but can you tell us what font was used in those Titles and Title Templates?
Did you have any Text Styles applied? If so, do you recall what they were?
As a test, when you open one of those Titles (or one of the Title Templates) into Titler, and then use the Selection Tool (the little arrowhead symbol at the top of the Toolbox), to reveal the Bounding Box. Is that Bounding Box collapsed? If so, you should still see some Handles (little squares at the corners, top and bottom). Click-drag on the side Handle, to expand the Text Box. Do you see anything then?
Another thought - as this could be a display issue, I would update my video driver, to the very latest, from the mfgr's. Web site (do not trust Windows, or any utility to check for the video driver updates). Test.
Good luck,
Hunt

Burning dvd with premiere elements 11

I burn video files on to dvds. I always key NTSC widescreen. Sometimes, the image fills the tv screen. Most of the time however, there is a 2" wide black border around the image, between the image and the edge of the tv screen. How do I get the image to fill the tv screen?

Thank you for responding to my problem. I'm afraid the reading didn't help. All of my 20 files were created with the same camera, the same project settings, the same equipment, etc. But when I burned each of them to their own dvd disc, a few of the programs filled the frame on the tv down the hall. Most however, have a 2" black border around the image. It makes no sense to me.

With Premiere elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264 .mov file type, what are the recommended Codec and Aspect settings for a crisp video and a small file size?

With Premiere Elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264 .mov file type, what are the recommended Aspect and Codec settings , for a crisp video with a small file size?

Gary Krouse
We will customize a very detailed reply, but
(a) What are the properties of your source media?
(b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
(c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.
Thanks.

Proxy Editing with Premiere Elements 10

I just read the great post on how to proxy edit with version 7 at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/390600?tstart=0, but I cannot find a way to save a preset with Premiere Elements 10 so I could then modify it to display previews in low-res and output in full HD. The online help from the program mentions "creating" presets, but then only describes how to slelect existing presets. Can anyone tell me how to make a new project preset, or better yet, if there is a built-in way to proxy edit with 10? Thanks!

For reasons that I have not figured out, your last message arrived as an email notification of an Adobe post, but it is not posted in your thread yet. In that post you wrote:
The properties for the clips shows:
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 1920x1080
Frame Rate: 23.976
The Interpret Footage settings show under Frame Rate the radio button for Use frame rate from file: 23.9750 is selected, and under Pixel Aspect Ratio the radio button for use pixel aspect ration from file is selected.
I never received a message to change the project preset.
As a test, I imported a clip that was shot at 1920x1080 30fps and added it to the timeline. I did not receive an error message, but this clip also has a red line above it on the timeline (as do the 24 fps clips).
Thanks for the help AT and SG.
Based on the information supplied, I cannot see a reason why your video should be displaying with a red line over its content
IF
a. Your project preset = NTSC DLSR 1080p DLSR 1080p30 @ 23.97
b. You are dragging the import (1080p @ 23.7 progressive frames per second) from Media to Timeline as the first video to be placed on that Timeline
Please review these criteria and let us know if you spot anything that you have as not consistent with a and b.
Keep in mind, when you bring in a file that is 1080p30 into this project set for 1080p24, you would expect to get a red line over the 1080p30 content since there is a mismatch between file and the project settings.
Another important matter that I am not clear on...is your problem only in previewing? Or does the problem go to previewing as well as exported product?
Thanks.

Import a Premiere CS3 Project into Premiere Elements 7.

Is it possible (or NOT) import a Premiere CS3 Project into Premiere Elements 7?
Thanks a lot for any help.

It is only possible to open some PrE Projects into the right version of PrPro, but will not work the other way around. The error message that you will get is "This Project was created in Adobe PrPro and you need to open it in that program."
Even going the PrE to PrPro route is filled with potholes. I can open some PrE 4 Projects in PrPro 2.0, but not all - depends on what was done. Later versions of PrE will not open in PrPro 2.0, but some have opened in CS3 and CS4, though much can keep one from being able to do that.
Sorry for the bad news,

Media cache files are not involved in the removal of the Adobe watermark from the project.prel file from a tryout.
Just a re-enforcement mention...you cannot remove the Adobe watermark from a tryout "saved" exported product; whereas, you can from a saved/closed project file (project.prel).
By exported product, I mean a burn to disc in the tryout or the Timeline of the tryout exported to a file saved to the computer hard drive.
In the case of removing the Adobe watermark from the tryout project.prel, classically you delete the rendered files (Timeline Menu/Delete Rendered Files) in the purchased program. In no way is media cache involved in this. Some of us have found that there was an automatic removal of the Adobe watermark resulting from just opening the tryout project.prel file in the purchased program.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.
