No disc menu templates

I'm new to video editing and have just installed premiere elements 7, and I have no menu templates in the disc menu section. Should they be there? Where can I get them? Thanks

Regarding Rendering the Timeline....
The red line running across the Timeline indicates that the Timeline content requires Rendering, whereas green = OK.
You Render the Timeline in the Edit Mode (Orange Tab highlighted). This type of Rendering is done by pressing the Enter Key of the computer Main Keyboard. When the process is complete, the red line will turn green.
You do this type of Rendering to get the best possible preview of what your end product will look like. It does not impact the final quality. In other words, the end product will end up with the same quality with or without this Rendering, but you are just getting a window of opportunity to get an idea what the final product will look like. The process can be very time consuming, but worthwhile if after Rendering the Timeline you see problems which need correcting.
This Rendering process generates preview files (scratch files) that build up on the computer hard, typically in the default location My Documents/Adobe Folder/. If this is a problem, you could go into Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Discs and direct them to an external hard drive through the browse function there.
RE: Quality..often it is the play back of the finished product that is the ultimate test of quality.

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.

(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.

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 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

Problems with customising menu template backgrounds

Hi.
I am experiencing problems with changing the background of the included disc menu templates in PE9. I can change the background image to anything i like on the computer and all seems to work OK but when i burn the project to disc (PAL_Dolby DVD) the custom background image has gone and been replace with the default template imagine.
Anyone got any ideas whats going on!
Thanks

This issue showed up with PrE 9. I do not recall reading of it with earlier versions.
I do not know if the PSD files have some corruption, or if some change in PrE 9's code "did the deed," but many have filed a Bug Report, and I ask that you please do, as well. It should be an easy fix for Adobe (but I am not a coder, or software engineer, and could be wrong).
Good luck to us all,

PE 10 - Disc Menu Issue

When I attempt to "apply" a disc menu, the program pauses as if it's loading, and then nothing happens. I can see all the disc menu templates, but none seem to apply to my project. Thoughts?

I would also check the video card's mfgr's. Web site, to see if there is a newer video driver available. Do not trust the OS, or any utility to tell you, if you have the latest version.
GUI issues are often driver related, and the Menus (also the Transitions) are heavily reliant on the video driver. You might not be having a GUI display issue, but whenever there is anything "odd" going on with the GUI, I look first at the video driver.
Good luck,

Disc menu

Hello, I´m using Adobe Premiere Elements and I tried to finish my presentation with a nice disc menu. But unfortunately I just have one choseable disc menu (I think "general" ; "common"). Is there a posibility to download more disc menu templates. For excample "Hobbys", Road Trip"??

No. Searching Google you may find some, but PE is generally intended to either make menus yourself or switch to other tools, which are dedicated to DVD authoring (Corel, MAGIX etc.). PE is a video editor.

I HAVE ADOBE PREMIERE ELEMENTS 10. I used to have many options on the "Disc Menu" to set up my DVD.. and now it is very limited..almost no templates. I try to sign in to my account through Premiere and it will never sign on. Anyone have any thoughts??

With versions earlier than 11, there is no more Sign In. If you get any message to that effect, ignore and cancel out of them. You should be able to move forward to your import, editing, and exports using the program nonetheless.
As for the disc menus, those marked photoshop.com plus members only are no longer available to you in versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 11. You may see the thumbnails for those members only items, but they are no longer available to you in Premiere Elements earlier than 10.
Interestingly, many of them are found in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as part of the program with no need to purchase them or have any special membership in anything. Adobe has promoted Adobe Revel as a replacement for photoshop.com, but that has no impact on this disc menus issue.
This all has to do with Adobe discontinuing photoshop.com and photoshop.com plus et al.
If you need to download regular disc menus for Premiere Elements 10, please review the following
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE 7, 8, 9,10: Content Download
Bottom lines:
1. No more Sign In for Premiere Elements 10
2. No access to photoshop.com plus (members only) disc menus

Disc menu not showing up on DVD

Hi, I selected (and changed to suit my needs) a template for the opening screen disc menu set. When I burned to DVD, it did not show up though it played during the preview. Also the overal movie had some studders to it that are not in the original vob clips. What to do? I'm using PE 10 with a windows 7 system.

One can alter the PrE Menu Sets, but with DVD Menus, there are several considerations, that must be adhered to.
I use Photoshop to customize my PrE Menu Sets, and it works fine.
Within the constraints of DVD Menus, one can do some things in PrE, PS or PSElements.
When it comes to Sub-picture Highlights, there are many, many more constraints, and limitations, but one can do quite a bit of customization.
Steve Grisetti covers the in's and out's of PrE Menu Set customization, in his PrE books, and especially the Photoshop Elements/Premiere Elements book.
If you need more details, let us know, as Ihave a few discussions, that I can share, should you wish to do customization, beyond just adding an appropriately Scaled Stil Image, or Video, as a background.
Good luck,
Hunt

Troubleshooting advice anyone? Unable to get still photo embeded in menu template.

I have Premiere Elements 9. I have completed the video and am trying to use a template from Adobe that has a spot for a still picture. I imported one and it shows on the computer but when I burn the DVD there is just a big black empty box. I tried making the photo 1000 x 750 pixils and that didn't work. I even tried using a photoshop file thinking maybe it was just proprietary but to no avail. Between this and the fact that the program is so unstable that it crashes every time I try to do something, my frustration level is pretty high. It probably crashed nearly 20 times just trying to make the video. Is this normal? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You came to the right place. What you described is an old story and known issue with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1. The issue is maintaining the replacement background in the end product DVD-VIDEO on DVD Disc. The remedy is to apply an audio background to the menu in disc menu customization area of the project (either audible or muted audio file).
Some would have you chasing down still image resolution et al. No way.
Please review and consider the full details in the following

DvD Menu Templates

Hi. Just wondering why Premiere Elements 11.0 did not include DvD Menu Templates. Instead, after you choose one, they ask you to download it from the web. Does anyone have a link for these menus? All my work computers are not on line for internet connection and all of them have elements 11.0. Thanks.

orlandoVideography
Please check out my blog post on Premiere Elements 11 Content
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-no-content-disc-content-downloads.html
Your download choices from within the program are for the particular Content choice or ALL. But, the wait for one can be very long, although some claim they can accomplish that task in seconds. So, the wait for ALL can seem endless. There is an option for having the download take place in the background if that is any help.
Patience is a good part of the answer.

Disc Menu theme and duration of audio file

Hi,
I've downloaded the Disc Menu Theme "Christmas" into my Premiere Elements 12 project.
In this menu I want a song to play in the background, so I imported the song into the Audio part of Menu Background adjustments.
However, the duration is not possible to adjust. It's "stuck" on 13 seconds.
Is this duration set by the menu theme or is it possible to adjust it in any other way?

Trond Skarpeid
This is not a problem specific to Premiere Elements 12 and all menus.
The problem that you have is related to how the Christmas background in the main menu .psd file was created. Its creation is based on a video file with the duration of 13.4 seconds, not a still image.
Your answer could be to replace the original video being used with one that has a duration of 29.29 seconds or to take the original video and extend its duration from 13.4 seconds to 29.29 seconds.
Your target is the christmas_w_mm_bg.mpg or christmas_hd_mm.bg.mpg file in the Christmas Folder in the route
Local Disc C
Program Files
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
Online
DVD Templates
All_Lang

The file duration can be altered in Premiere Elements and exported as Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG PAL whether you are NTSC or PAL based.
More details later today if you are interested.
This is an easy one to fix.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

Additional Menu Templates for elements 12.1

Are there any additional templates available for Premiere Elements 12.?

Michael Stehly
For Premiere Elements in general....
To meet your specific menu needs, best customize Adobe existing ones or create new ones from scratch using Photoshop CS or higher.
The following will give you some idea of what can be done. Please see list of links at the bottom of that blog post.

If you do not want to devote time into the do it yourself way, the only place I have seen disc menus that may be suitable for use with
