New dedicated computer for Premiere Elements 13 help

I'm in the market for a new laptop or desktop, dedicated to editing videos and photos using Premiere Elements 12, soon to upgrade to version 13.  No plans to use Pro version since Elements meets my needs very well.  I  want to be able to use all tools that are available in Elements for effects, etc. some day when I have time, but right now I'm doing basic editing since time is a factor - lots of videos and lots of pictures to upload to my website and to archive while maintaining high quality.  I'm using a Canon 70D for photos and a Panasonic HC-X920 for videos since I'm a serious amateur. The camcorder is AVCHD, but will convert to MP4 and store a copy right on the camera SD card if I want it to.  I've been reading everything I can find but need to move on and either purchase or build. I am looking for that "sweet spot", where the bang is biggest for the buck.  I'll spend what I need to, but don't want that which I'll never use.  Most of what I know is by reading about ISV certified partners, but those are for the Pro versions.  If there were ISV certified Elements partners, that would be what I'd want.  I've read over the years that Premiere Elements has so much of the functionality of the Pro version, so I would think the same type of heavy duty processors might be in order, especially for AVCHD editing.  I would equip a machine with an SSD for OS and apps and at least one more massive drive for finished product.  If another drive would work best for the input, I'd do that as well.  Raid 0?  Lots of video card questions as well, since the Pro versions are able to use that ram very effectively - does the Elements version do that?  For you experts out there, thanks in advance, because I have a massive headache right now trying to figure this out!!  Configuration, brands, etc., any and all suggestions welcome.  Thanks.

The biggest difference is that Premiere Pro will use an NVidia card for GPU rendering (see next) while P-Elements does not

Otherwise, for general editing, read the articles here Tweakers Page
-which is about Pro, but will still give you good information on hardware for Elements (other than NVidia)

  • Where can I download the software for premiere elements 7

    I lost the CD software for Adobe Premiere Elements 7.  I searched on the Adobe site for the download and can't find it anywhere. I spoke to Customer service and they told me to come here and someone should be able to help me.  Does anyone know where I can download it and install it to my computer.  I still have the case with the serial number just don't have the software

    I do not see any opportunities for a free source of Premiere Elements 7 installation files.
    There is a web site that offers tryout downloads which you can install and then insert your purchased serial number into the install.
    However, they offer only the installation files for 9.0/9.0.1, 10, 11, 12, and 13.
    There may be very limited chances to purchase Premiere Elements 7 (Amazon may have some listed). You could do a Google Search for
    Premiere Elements 7 purchasing.
    If you purchased the product direct from Adobe, you "should" be able to obtain new installation files. Have you gone to the Adobe
    web site http://www. adobe.com, signed in, and, in the Search field, typed My Orders? Then you would follow My Orders to your orders where
    you should be able to pick out the order involved and download new Premiere Elements 7 installation files from that order. Did you explore that?
    Is it possible that the software can still be found at your location? Perhaps the bottom of a child's toy box?
    Please update us on any break troughs.
    Thank you.

  • Where can I find the PDF manual for Premiere Elements?

    Does Adobe have a full manual in PDF file format for Premiere Elements 9.0?
    P.S. Watch out for trying to handle large (> 700meg) AVI files.  Phone support says I'm SOL on bringing in my 6.5 gig 24 minute file.  Their solution?
    Bring it in small chunks or buy a new computer with more than 8gig of RAM.  Why don't they just tell you before you buy, that unless you have an awsome computer, don't waste your money on our software?

    Thanks John
    I have reviewed the online information, and the DVD's and still don't see a full blown manual (PDF file format or otherwise).  If all you get is the

  • CPU requirement for Premiere Elements 10?

    Hi there,
    Unfortunately, I think I know the answer to this already, but thought I'd toss this out there to see if anyone has gotten it to work.
    On a Windows XP sp3 PC with a 1.86ghz Core2 6300 CPU with 2gb RAM, I'm unable to install Adobe Premiere Elements 10. When I run setup.exe I get "This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor."
    The system requirements for Premiere Elements 10 do list a 2ghz CPU with SSe2 support. The Core2 6300 does support SSe2, but runs at 1.86ghz not 2ghz.
    Just haven't seen a program actually refuse to install based on CPU speed before. Guess I've been lucky. But can anyone confirm that the installer actually won't install on a slower processor speed. Not sure what else the error could be than this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sir_timbit

    I know about the min specs. The reason I'm asking if it really checks the CPU speed is I have a school that *is* running Premiere Elements 10 on the exact same hardware. Same CPU. The only difference is the new version I'm trying to install is the volume license version, part of the Adobe Digital School collection. The school that already has it running is using Premiere Elements 10 with either separate licenses or some other license setup. So it doesn't make sense why it worked but doesn't now.
    Testing today. On my test PC, a Core 2 6300 XPsp3, the setup would start up OK using the non-VL installer, but fail when I tried to use the setup.exe from the new installer. As far as I know the program is the same, but I don't think I can do the XML customizations needed to do a silent installer on the non volume licensed version of Premiere Elements 10. In short, why does one version of PE 10 install but not the other?

  • Is Sony Handycam HDR-SR10 a supported device for Premiere Elements 10?

    Is the Sony Handycam HDR-SR10 a supported device for Premiere Elements 10?

    happyherbert
    I cannot give any guarantee as to whether you can make a USB connection between camcorder and computer/Premiere Elements 10 Get Media/"Flip, AVCHD, Cameras, Phones or Removal Drive"/Video Importer but it might work.
    But worst case, which is not so bad, is transferring the AVCHD files to the computer hard drive and then importing the files into a Premiere Elements 10 project with the program's Get Media/Files and Folders.
    If you have Full 1080i30, then the project preset that you would set before you import the files would be
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    Full HD 1080i30
    We can discuss more about settings when you have more details.
    You are at a disadvantage with Premiere Elements 10 on Windows Vista (32 or 64 bit). In that arrangement, Premiere Elements 10 is a 32 bit application with the limitations of 32 bit system. AVCHD is a rather resource demanding format. If Premiere Elements 10 were on specifically Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, then it would be a 64 bit application that could take advantage of the 64 bit resources. All that would translate into getting a larger project taken to successful completion with a greater frequency.
    Please review and then we can go further into the details and then decide what next.
    Thanks.

    Also the search program doesn't find previous version downloads.
    Chat is completely busy and won't let me in.
    And I am not paying $39 for what is an Adobe issue.

    Anyone know where I might find it?

    What I've always found strange though is that the downloads themselves come from Adobe's servers. Just seems weird that Adobe themselves won't provide the links!

  • Best laptop for Premiere Elements

    Can you recommend a laptop for Premiere Elements.
    I have PE9 and thinking about PE10.
    Preferably matte screen.
    UK based so Sager not really an option.
    Thanks

    Laptops are never best for video editing, since they're usually built for portability rather than power. They also cost about 50% more than desktops for the same amount of power.
    But what type of camcorder is your video coming from?
    If you are editign tape-based video, a dual-core processor and 4 gigs of RAM with a 500 gig hard drive should be adequate.
    If you are working with AVCHD video, you should go for a quad core or i7 processor running Windows 7 64-bit.
