Moving menu template from premiere elements 4 to premiere elements 9

Last year I upgraded from premiere elements 4 to 9.  I could not find a generic menu template in premiere elements 9 so I moved one from the program files of premiere elements 4 to the program files of premiere elements 9.  This seemed to work okay except that the background art that I used for the main menu does not show up on the burned DVD even though it is there when viewing the project.  I'm using a PC with Windows 7.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Several of the menu templates for PRE9 had problems, such as custom backgrounds ignored. A. T. Romano did a lot of work on investigating these issues.
For example:
Premiere Elements 9 Disc Menu (main/scene)
PE9 Menu background
It seems likely that whatever caused the faults in PRE9 is also tripping up with your PRE4 template. Others have reported that the problems were fixed in PRE10.

  • How can I transfer some or all Disc Menu templates from PrE7 to PrE9

    I have seen various versions of peopIe swapping templates from one program to another, but didn't see my scenario covered.  I have both Premiere Elements 7 and Premiere Elements 9 and I like the Disc Menu templates better from PrE7 better than PrE9. I am not needing to copy any text or Instant Movie stuff at this point in time. Is there a simple way to copy/paste some or all of the Disc Menu Templates from the 7 folder to the 9 folder?

    Bill and Neale,
    Had to try these theories we were talking about. Things went wonky when I created the PrE7 complete folder and inserted in PrE9. The PrE7 folder showed up in the disc menu dropdown list, but when I clicked on it I only got blank menu boxes. So back into windows explorer and deleted the folder I created (2.44 GB worth of menus) and just copied one folder over. From Entertainment, the Drive In Disc menu. That one shows up, seemingly correctly, in PrE9 Entertainment folder. I am enclosing a pic of folders side by side, and you can see how many more menus are in PrE7, just in Entertainment.
    You can see the Drive In menu in both folders, in both programs. I haven't outputted anything with the menu yet. Hopefully it works. So, maybe just moving whatever menus a person likes from one program to another, instead of the complete 2.44 GB will work. But one more question comes up. I notice some of the folders have an (A) in front, or an (AV) or (V). I clicked into some of the other folders ie: General, Happy Birthday,Holidays and Events, and some folders they aren't used at all, and other folders are various combinations of one or all. Anybody know what they mean?
    Also of note. The menu tree in PrE7 goes directly from DVD Templates to the menu folders. The menu tree in PrE9 has the menu folders in a common folder. Anybody see the reasoning of this?
    Thanks again

  • Cannot find Gymnastics menu templates in Premiere Elements 7

    I am looking for a Gymnastics menu for Premiere Elements 7.
    CraginJohn

    Welcome to the forum.
    If there is nothing in the included Templates, then I can only recommend that you look on Muvipix.com, as they have many additional, custom Menu Sets, though I do not recall a gymnastics set - but have never needed one. If you find what you do need there, there are two ways to get it - pay for the Menu Sets that you need, or subscribe to Muvipix.com, and then download everything, including the music, Menu Sets, etc., from that subscription.
    Good luck, and hope that you find what you are looking for.

    PS - I would also post to the Premiere Elements Forum (Community) at Muvipix.com, as many subscribers there know of additional sources, and also do a lot of school sports themed DVD/BD projects, and might have other resources for you.

  • 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.

  • Moving groove templates from 9 to X

    Right now you can't create a groove template in Logic X for whatever reason (see this post).
    So, In the meantime, since making groove templates does work in Logic 9—how do I import a Logic 9 groove track into Logic X? I'm sure it's as easy as moving a file somewhere, but I have no idea about the directories.

    Hi, vmorse. Assuming you have an OS X-native application in which you'd like the pictures to open, all you need to do is drag and drop the icons of the pictures onto the icon of that OS X application. Or you can open the application by double-clicking on its icon, and then open the files from within it using the Open... command in its file menu.
    In OS X, to change the application in which the files will open when you double-click them, select an image file or files in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and choose the desired application in the Open With... pop-up menu in the Get Info box. If you want all files of the same type to open in the same application, click the Change All button below that menu.

  • Encore CS6 Menu Templates (From Cloud)

    The predesigned menu sets and assets in Encore are not visible. The only set showing in the dropdown is "General" but there are no assets associated with it.

    I had DL & installed the trial version (before CC was available) and when CC became available, then Encore went to subscription status and the "continue trial" splash screen went away (as one would expect). During the install, there were no options to include/not include the content library. I have checked the Prefs and under "Media" in points to C:\Program Files\Adobe|Adobe Encore CS6\Library. When I looked at that location, the "Library" folder is missing. I also checked the Encore forum and saw that someone else has asked the question over there and got this reply from an Adobe employee...

  • Are Disc Menu Templates Restricted to Certain Versions of Premiere Elements

    I ask this question after visiting the movipix site to look at what templates I might add to my PrE 9 program. This got me to wondering if templates are restricted to certain versions of PrE. After reading various posts in this forum I thought I was getting the message that any templates from Premiere Elements 4 to Premiere Elements 10 were interchangeable. It was a matter of inserting the subfolder from one program into the category folder of another program?
    If I were to order a template from the movipix website would I have to check to make sure which versions it would work in? I read where version 9 had some problems with some templates that would not allow menu background video or pictures to show up on the burned dvd even though it was in preview before burning. AT Romano had played with some of the templates but I never could find out if the problem was resolved by Adobe.
    Thanks

    ATR,
    Thank you for your response. A wealth of information. Quite a bit of it I had already read. You've gone to a lot of work. Of most interest to me were a couple of posts. One in this forum "Using Disc Menus from Premiere Elements 4 in Premiere Elements 12". (Sorry I didn't copy the message #). The other detailed post was in Elements Village Premiere Elements forum.  http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73006&highlight=templates+folder
    These posts are explaining pretty much how to install additonal templates, either between versions, or downloaded templates? Very good. One question on the Elements Village post though. You mentioned deselecting "Read Only" in the properties dialog box of the folder to be transferred. Is this only necessary if transferring from one computer to another? or should this be done when transferring from one PrE version to another within the same computer?
    I think you have answered my question on using menu templates across the board from PrE version 4 thru 12. Just a matter of getting them in the correct folders as you have pointed out in your various posts. And it appears that only PrE 9 had the issues that didn't get fixed by Adobe as far as menu background & audio not getting burned to disc?
    To give more details on the Menu and Scene Selection buttons. I should have said PLAY ALL instead of Menu. I did not modify them. I merely dragged the Play All button to the bottom left and the Scene button to the bottom right of the Main Menu page. The arrows pointing to them went along with the text. But on the burned DVD they seem to be reversed when the arrow is highlighting the choice to be made. Play All selects Scenes and vice versa. I probably won't be using this template again anyway but was interesting.
    Not sure where to post this next question. Is there a way to start a post? where members can list a few of their favorite Disc Menu Templates that they use all the time? Kind of a vague question but I'm guessing out of all of the available templates in each of the versions of PrE only a few get used over and over. As the list would grow people could vote (?) on various ones and some kind of master list might be produced for future use or download. For example: PrE version (or a downloaded version like from Movipix ) used, templates used, categories (ie:general,entertainment, etc.) It seems as though a new version introduced adds some templates and takes some away. Then people are left looking or trying to figure out how to replace them (such as transferring them as we have been discussing)
    Thank you for your time

  • How can I get still photos to appear in menu templates?

    I can't get photos to appear in the menu templates in Premiere Elements 11, whether I drag them in or Browse them out. I tried two different templates, and 5 different photo file formats. From what I'm reading online, this is a known bug that has been around since v. 9. How is that possible that a major element of a top-of-the-line video editor doesn't even work? Is there a bug fix or a workaround?

    Hi ATR,
    Thank you for your kind response. Now that I’ve calmed down some, I’m willing to keep trying, to a point at least. I’ll try responding to your questions.
    I failed to mention that I did update to 12.1 before my last failure. And I still had the problem. So far, I have only deleted the Prefs file and not the entire folder, mostly because the program went into permanent crash mode and I couldn’t even get it to run, let alone try editing my project. That’s when I reinstalled it.
    The project is simply a PowerPoint presentation with a soundtrack, which I exported from PowerPoint as an mp4 file. It’s only 7:30 minutes long. So it’s a very tiny file. There is only one menu page and no scene menus.
    Yes, I have successfully burned it to disk, once with the gray rectangle on the menu (to confirm whether it would show as a gray rectangle on the TV screen, which it did), and once with the picture on the menu, the one time I succeeded in getting the picture to appear in the menu.
    I have tried the picture in multiple image formats, but the one I mainly try is a .bmp that PE generated using the snapshot tool, or whatever it’s called in PE. I figured if PE won’t even load images it created, the Adobe programmers need to start back with square one.

  • How to install free disc menu templates?

    I'm a beginner in using my new iMac and Premiere Elements 10, so I have to ask - How to install the free disc menu templates from Muvipix? Are there any more disc menu templates in Preimiere Elements then the few ones I have there?
    gardie10

    This would probably be a better question for the folks at Muvipix.
    In fact, here's the answer.
    http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=8374
    (Make sure you unzip the downloaded files before you store them in folder in the location listed!
    Meantime, make sure you've installed all of the content discs for Premiere Elements. You should have over 70 DVD and BluRay disc templates.

  • Premiere Elements 13 problem with DVD menu templates

    I recently purchased Premiere Elements 13 for my iMac.  It crashes every time I attempt to add a DVD menu template to my project.  Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

    I just uninstalled and then re-installed Premiere Elements.  When I opened the program, I clicked on Movie Menus from the Tools menu.  There were blue bands on the menu thumbnails and I right-clicked on one and selected "download all."  P.E. let me know that the files would need 2.5 GB of space and I told it to go ahead and download the files.  The download was going fine and it downloaded all 2.5 GB of data.  I could see the blue bands disappear from the thumbnails as the download progressed.  When the downloading process was over the progress window disappeared.  I saw the rainbow colored pinwheel spin around for several seconds and then the program crashed.  The next thing I saw was a "Crash Report" with several lines of "computerese" and the message that it would be sent to Apple.  I clicked OK and in a second or two a window from Adobe appeared asking me if I wanted to restart the program and send the crash report to Adobe.  There was also an option for me to ask Adobe to send me feedback or tips for a workaround or solution to the problem and what came back was the message that Adobe had no workaround or solution to my problem.  For each of the previous times the program crashed, I have seen all of these windows that I just described.
    One other thing:  when I re-opened Premiere Elements after the crash, I looked at the movie menu thumbnails and the blue bands were not there any more.  So it seems as though Premiere Elements "thinks" they have been downloaded.  If so, where are they and how do I use them?  And how do I prevent the program from crashing?
    Feel free to ask me any questions you want to, especially if they will help solve this problem.  One reason I bought this program is that I want to make DVDs with menus and chapter selection buttons.  I have been using iDVD, but Apple no longer supports it, and it does have a few bugs I have had to work around.  I also have DVD Studio Pro, which came with Final Cut Studio a few years ago (before Final Cut Pro X) but it is not very user friendly.  I also have Final Cut Pro X, which has the option of authoring DVDs, but doesn't have the DVD menu template options that are in iDVD and DVD Studio Pro. 
    Thanks for your attention and help.

  • 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.
