No sound in my rendered MPEG video - Premiere Elements 8

I edited an .avi video... deleted some scenes, added some effects and titles. There is sound when I playback the edited video project in Premiere Elements 8. Then I rendered the file by selecting "shared to be viewed on personal computer" and selected MPEG file type. When I playback the rendered MPEG file in Windows Media Player, there is no sound! What is going on? I am not a computer geek, just trying to convert some old videos....... THANKS in advance for any suggestions you may have! gf

Thank you for the suggestion, Steve. I didn't know what other program to use...    I downloaded VLC and then played the vido in it.   It has audio. I still don't understand what this means.   Why won't it play on Windows Media Player? Is there   something "WRONG" with the rendered MPEG file?   If I burn this to a DVD will I be able to playback on a DVD player??
Also.... yes it was captured over a firewire from a Sony Video8 cam that had legacy playback. The original video was analog, recorded back in the 1980's.   I bought a more recent (90's?) Sony videocam on ebay, that had legacy playback in order to convert to .avi
Thanks for your help.    I am going to try to burn to DVD later today, and see if I can replay...

Video Rendering Question using Premiere Elements 11 and/or Adobe Premiere

The video Rendering /encoding process can take hours even on an I5 processor.
It seems like this has to be done, redone and done again during the editing process.
If I purchase a camera which supports AVCHD 2.0 - does that mean that the encoding process altogether goes away, so that content is able to be transfered natively to the end media and so that I reduce my burn time to a BluRay Disc, using for example, Adobe Premiere Elements 11 or Full Fledged Adobe Premiere, or Sony's Vegas ?
Newbie to Video Editing.

AVCHD 2.0 only means that the camera can also record 1080p/60, which was previously not part of the AVCHD specification and still is not part of the Blu-ray spec. It's most useful for smooth slow motion effects.
Anything you add to Premiere Pro will need to be transcoded for Blu-ray, no way around that.

IMovie will not load avi/wmv videos, leaves sound out of mpg/mpeg videos

When i load mpg and mpeg videos into iMovie, the videos come out fine, but leave the sound out for some reason. There is no sound clip that is loaded with it. And when it comes to loading "avi" videos, it loads them, but they are blank. It loads a black video clip with no sound. And when it comes to downloading "wmv" videos it stops and says there was an error. This is the message it sends me. "The file could not be imported: The file “Macintosh HD/Volumes/Maxtor Extra Storage/WTC VIDEOS/WMV/911.wtc.2.no.base.smoke.wmv” can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -2048".
If you know anything about this, have an answer, or even a suggestion, I would greatly appreciate a response from you. My computer model is a Mac OSX 10.0 and I currently have iLife 06 with iMovie HD. Thanks a lot.
Mike

Hello Mike,
MPEG video has muxed audio streams, which iMovie doesn't like - you'll have to convert.
Find some more info in Dan Slagle's Unofficial iMovie FAQ:

AVI is a container (like Quicktime's .mov) and contain various codecs. In order to know how to convert, you'll need to find out what exact codec has been used. A possibility is that it's one of the numerous DivX codecs.
FFmpegX converts various AVI and DivX file types:

WMV files can be played with Flip4Mac, in order to convert them you'll need to get the $$ pro-version ....

No sound when burn movie to dvd (premiere elements 3, sony vaio, vista)

Hi,
When I burn a movie to DVD using premiere elements I end up with no sound.
Analyzing the VOB with avicodec reports it has no audio track - and I get the same problem if burn to a folder or direct to a disc.
Exporting to mpeg or other formats works without problem.
Also - when I try the burn, I find a large .wav file in the temporary files folder, which seems to match the sound the DVD should have.
But for some reason PE isn't combining it into the VOB?
My current workaround is exporting as mpeg, and importing this to moviemaker and burning from there - but it's a pain to do this.
I saw some posts about this topic from last year - and mentioning VAIO as a common factor - but none of the sugggestions there have worked, and I can't find any solution/new info. Apologies if I've missed something in the forums.
Any info/suggestions would be much appreciated!
cheers,
Mark

Sadly, we see a number of problems that are unique to the VAIO.
Sony is notorious for rewriting the operating system to fit their needs. Still, you'd think, if Premiere Elements came bundled with it, it would at least work with the system.
I highly recommend manually updating the operating system and firmware (these things become outdated weekly, and outdated firmware can really wreak havoc on your machine), clearing off the junkware, optimizing Vista and making sure you have the latest version of Quicktime and, if you're using Premiere Elements 3, that you have installed the 3.02 patch. These links to the FAQ library at the top of this forum will show you how.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc43f9a
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc448a7
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c057647
And, if all that fails, it might well be worth a call to Sony, since they supposedly built and tested their machine and software before they sold it.

Not playing video premiere elements 7

I'm starting out with a .AVI file captured on my Nikon D300s. I have premiere elements 7.
When I open the video (before any editing in Premiere) in Windows Media Player, everything is fine - I have audio and video. Same thing when I open in QuickTime - everything is fine.
I opened in premier elements, and the video plays fine. I edit the video, save and go to "Share". I select PC and choose the MPEG option.
The preset is NTSC DVD Standard.
When opening the Advanced option the Export video & Export Audio options are checked. In Mulitplexer I have DVD selected.
When I Save this and then go to open the file in Windows Media Player, the audio plays but no video. When I try to open this in QuickTime I get:
Error - 2048 Couldn't open the file video1.mpg because it is not a file that QuickTime understands
If I save it as a windows media it opens in WMP just fine with audio and video.
Why can't I save this as an MPEG?

I just did a test Share to MPEG, at your settings, and the Quality set to 5. Everything worked perfectly in WMP 11, VLC Player and MediaPlayer Classic HC, and I got the same error in QT Pro 7.5.5, that you did.
Here is my G-Spot screen, with the file in it:
How does G-Spot see your file? If you look to the lower-left, you'll see some squares with numbers. I'd hit the Video Render button #1 "Vid," and look to the right for messages. Then, hit #2, and look for messages. If no messages, hit #3 to play in G-Spot's little player.
Good luck,

MPG smart rendering in Adobe Premiere Elements 7?

Hi,
Does anybody know if Adobe Premiere Elements 7 supports smart rendering of MPG files? I have a Sony HDD camcorder (non-HD) and would like to combine clips into longer MPG files without reencoding.
In the past I have used MainConcepts MPEG Elements, but that is not supported anymore (and there were issues with in anyway).
Thanks.
Ralph

I have Mainconcepts MPEG Elements 1.01 installed in PRE 7.
The only thing that I found that doesn't work is capturing. When I want to capture, I disable the plug-in by changing the name of the Mainconcept folder:
From:
C:\program files\common files\mainconcept\MPEG PRO PE
To:
C:\program files\common files\mainconcept\MPEG PRO PE.RJJ
When you disable the Mainconcept Plug-in, you won't be able to edit any projects that were created with a Mainconcept project preset. Well, actually you can, but PRE puts the project in "Desktop" mode.
There is a registry entry that the Mainconcept Plug-in uses during installation to determine which version of Premiere Elements the plug-in is intalled in and which version can use the plug-in.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Premiere Elements\CurrentVersion
ApplicationPath: D:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0\
Plug-InsDir: D:\Program Files\Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0\Plug-ins\en_us
I also have version 2.0 installed and when I want to use Mainconcept Plug-in with 2.0, I edit the registry settings and change 7.0 to 2.0 in the path names.
Smart Rendering does work in PRE 7 when you have the Mainconcept plug-in.
When you start Premiere Elements 7 after installing the plug-in, make sure to hold down the CTRL-ALT-SHIFT keys so the plug-in cache is reset.

Motion rendering in Adobe premiere elements

Hello,
I recently purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 11. I am on windows 7.
In one of my vidoes, motion is not rendered properly. For example, a talking persons lips are significantly blurred. The same video when played in Windows Media Player doesn't show this behavior. The video is AVCHD, 1080p, 30fps. I did not see a project settings preset that matches exactly those settings. So I selected AVCHD, 1080i, and 30fps (which I thought is the closest among all the presets available). And I DID NOT select the "force these settings" option. I assumed, when I add my video file, PE 11 would automatically select the right settings for that video. What might the cause for poor rendering? And how can I fix it? Thank you for the help in advance.

If your video clip is the first one on the timeline and you didn't force settings on your project, the program should set up your project automatically.
So you could be seeing a couple of things:
1) Your Monitor panel may not be displaying the file at high-quality. You can ensure that it is by right-clicking on the Monitor panel and setting it to high-quality and making sure that you're not looking at your video at over 100% size.
2) It could be that your file needs rendered, in which case you'll see a yellow line above your clips on the timeline in Expert view. To render your timeline, press Enter or click on the Render button. This should improve your playback.

Rendering quality in premiere elements 12

Im new to Elements 12 and im editing some videos i took with a gopro. Whatever small effect i add to it, when I render it, the quality goes down the drain from HD to a first gen motorola razr. Ive looked around and it seems like older versions of elements had render settings but i cant find them in 12.
the left is untouched and the right is after rendering. Any idea as to what is happening?

What is the resolution of your Go Pro footage?
When you add your video to your project's timeline, do you see a yellow orange line above the clips on the timeline in Expert view?
What are you outputting your test video as? If you are judging the quality of your video by what you see in Premiere Elements, have you set the Monitor panel to full quality (by right-clicking on it)?

How to reduce re-rendering clips in Premiere Elements 12

Each time I restart a Project in Premiere Elements 12 the timeline indicates that I need to re-render the clips. Is there away to avoid excess rendering? Thanks.

don_
Your question is a long standing issue that seemed to have peaked around Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 and seems to be independent of computer operating system, scratch disk locations, and QuickTime versions among other things. And Adobe has not come out with an explanation to date as far as I have ever seen.
But, let me make sure that I am interpreting your question correctly.
Are you saying that, after you save/close a project whose Timeline had been rendered for preview purposes, the re-opened project presents with an orange line over the Timeline content with the implication that you are looking at an unrendered Timeline? If that is the case, please read on.
I will dig out the unabridged version of what I have written about this in the past. But, for now, the abridged version.
1. Although the color indicator implies that the Timeline content is "unrendered", that is, you are not getting the best possible preview of what you are seeing in the Edit Mode monitor preview, the preview files that were originally generated are alive and well in their hard drive save location. Best guess is that the link between the preview files and the project are getting broken and are not repairable, short of rendering the Timeline content again if absolutely necessary for preview purposes.
2. In the re-opened project, rendering again to turn the orange line to green (best possible preview) can be done for the whole of the afflicted content or selectively (just segment) by setting the WorkArea Bar gray tabs to span just the area to be rendered.
3. My philosophy on this is to move on or re-render all or part if indicated. You have rendered the area previously and should know what that is going to look like...unless of course you make changes in the re-opened project.
This one has an unforgetable history going back several versions and apparently surfacing again in the present and still without the whys.
Please review and let us know if I have targeted you question.
Thanks.

Nikon D90 video + Premiere Elements 3 randomly works

I have Premiere Elements 3, and just started trying to work with the video from my D90. I have a problem that some of the D90 AVI video files import and are fine, and others give an error that they are corrupt or the codec may not be installed. All the files play in VLC and other players. So, they are not corrupt. Other threads talk about codec issues, but that doesn't seem to be the case here as some of the AVI files will important an play fine in premiere elements. It also doesn't seem to be a file size issue as some files of the same size will import and others won't, and some larger files (65 MB) will but some 5MB files won't. This includes video shot on the same day. So, nothing about the encoding was changing on the camera. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,
The only caveats with WMM as a conversion tool is that it Exports as DV-Type I, and not DV-Type II. There is a file size limitation on Type I's, that might, or might not come into play. Just be aware of it. Next, there are occassions where Type I's in Premire (both PE and PrPro), where there can be be OOS (Out Of Sync) issues. These are almost always constant OOS, and are easily corrected. Again, you may, or may not come into contact with these, but they can happen. These comments are really just H/U's, of things that one might need to look out for.
I would anticipate that the next iterations of both PE and PrPro will have native support for both the Nikon D-90 MJPEG's and the Canon 5D MK II's .MOV files, considering the popularity of both DSLR's as motion capture devices. This is speculation, but AVCHD was recently added, as was support for RED (in PrPro). One of the big differences with the support for RED was that they worked very, very closely with Adobe. Other mfgrs. just do their thing, and unless it's Sony, working closely with the Sony Vegas folk, and let the NLE programers catch up, after the cameras and their CODEC's are released.
Good luck, and please report on everything that you encounter. Everyone will be busy trying to see what will work, and what will not with both the Nikon and the Canon. All the info from the field will help.

Problems with rendering quality in Premiere Elements 9

Hello, I've made a few videos with PE 9 now, and I get very poor quality rendering despite trying several different settings. I saw on a help thread earlier that I needed to try changing to HD when creating the new file from the beginning. I did that, but it only made my PE 9 run more slowly, and the rendering quality was not improved. I also read somewhere that using .MOV files as a source can cause problems with rendering; is that true? I hope not! I use a Lumix bridge camera for my videos, and the video quality is very good. And when I'm working with these videos within PE 9 the quality is great. It's only when exporting to various file types that the quality suddenly becomes poor. For the most part I have made compilation videos of gymnasts, and when their legs move they are often so lined or pixelated that they become invisible. Here is an example of a short gym video I made yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0s7tUBcSZk. The last girl jumping gives the best example of this invisible leg problem.
You can see the original source films here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmUMi9oN8dQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEzcJZjhxiI
and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I53twqPQMV4
The sequences I took in my compilation video start at about 20 seconds in the source videos.
Youtube does reduce the quality of the videos slightly, but in any case you can definitely see a difference in quality between the source videos and the PE 9 rendered compilation video.
I'm quite disappointed because I made a longer compilation video set to music (which was a lot of work), and it looks so much nicer on PE 9 than on any of the rendered formats, but of course I can't share the PE 9 version!
Thanks very much for your help.
Chleste

Thanks Steve. I'm not sure what resolution I'm shooting in, actually. However, the thing is that when I make these compilations, I like to go back to source videos I've made in the past sometimes. Sometimes these videos come from a Canon camera, and sometimes they even come from my Samsung mobile telephone. I like being able to creatively combine historic moments, and these moments might have been recorded without any intention at the time of making a compilation video. Is it not possible to combine several kinds of video sources?
I'm uploading an example of a compilation with mixed source videos from various kinds of cameras. It's 710 Megs so it will take a while, but when it's finished you will be able to see it at http://youtu.be/CslpULRe4LU.
I opened up the file for the compilation of the four girls on the beam (video posted in original message), and I do indeed see those red lines in the timeline. Is there anything I can do now about that, or do I have to start the project all over?
I'm confused about the processor requirements. Even if I can see my video perfectly in PE 9, the actual export process will be affected if my system is not up to par? If so, that's a bit disappointing! I'm not sure what my processor details are, but I will find out and let you know.
Many thanks.

In a video (Premiere elements 12) how can I control the time a still photo is displayed? I would like a shorter time than 5 seconds, maybe 2 or 3 seconds.

In a premiere Elements 12 video, how can I have a 3 second display of a still photo?

toothdoc1
What computer operating system are you running your Premiere Elements 12 on? Are you working with a NTSC or PAL setup?
Assuming NTSC setup...
You can set a Still Image Default duration so that all the stills that are imported after that set import with the same duration (the default is 150 frames equivalent to 5 seconds in a 30 frames per second system) See Expert workspace, Edit Menu/Preferences/Still Image Default duration.
Once you get your stills on the Timeline (at the preferences set), if you want to, you can change the Still Image duration for one or more of the stills on the Timeline. To do that for one, right click the Timeline still, select Time Stretch, and , then in the Time Stretch dialog set the duration that you want. There the format is 00;00;00;00 (hours;minutes;seconds;frames). So, a 3 second duration set would look like 00;00;03;00.
If you wanted to do the Timeline still duration change on more than one at a time basis, then adjust the first, followed by a copy and paste effects and adjustments in the selected rest.
Please let us know if you are Ok with the details or you need an clarification on anything written.
Thanks.

MPEG Encoder Premiere Elements 12

I'm working from a PC. I had Adobe Premiere Elements 12 installed and the MPEG encoder activated as well. My PC went down and I had to install my Adobe products again. Now, the current code i have for the MPEG activation is not working. when I go to the sight and try to generate a new activation code, it gives me the one i already have. Will I need a different encoder activation code to get it working or should the one I already have still work?

AsherBlade
If you are working with an actuve Internet connection, activation should proceed automatically "behind the scenes". But there are features that do require first time one time activation when you use them for the first time. MPEG2 Activation is one of them. From my experience, all you should be seeing is a quick on and off message of MPEG2 Activation being done quickly and automatically.
Since your message is that you already have MPEG2 activation, then I would suggest the following
1. Check your Internet connection.
2. Do an uninstall, free ccleaner run through (regular and registry cleaner parts), and reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
CCleaner - Download
3. Download and install the 12.1 Update for the program, using a opened project's Help Menu/Updates.
Please let us know the outcome. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

No sound in imovie using mpeg videos. HELP!

Hi, im a newbie, so I have lots of questions with sound in imovie.
I have a digital camrea which does the mpeg movie thing.
so when I import the movie into imovie I see the video but I hear no sound.
I know this was covered in some topics, but I being new to this I really didnt understand.
Im hoping that someone here and point me in the right direction.
Thank you.

Hi PK - welcome to the forum!
Increasingly, people with digital still cameras want to import their short movie clips created with that camera. BUT the catch is that these movies are NOT in .dv format. They are MPEGs, and if they are MPEG1 or MPEG2 then they must be converted to DV before they will import into iMovie with the audio able to play.
This conversion usually can be done with a free app. called MPEG StreamClip, but may also need another piece of software called the Apple MPEG2 Playback Component (which costs about $20)..
A search in this forum for those, will give you several threads on the issue!
Look here, for example, for more about the method required:
http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/%7Eshmhav/SVCDon_a_Macintosh.html#edit_convertMPEG
NOTE that iMovie was designed for DV use (a high-quality editing format), not the much lower quality MPEG footage.

Adobe Premiere Elements 10. Is it sensible to upgrade my memory to 32 Gb?

I have the following configuration (bought in September 2011).
Asus P8Z68 DELUXE, Z68 chipset
Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4 Ghz 8Mb
Kingston
Crucial SSD M4 128 Gb
Asus GeForce GTX560 Ti DirectCU II TOP 1GB 2xDVI
WD 2Tb sata 600 (black edition).
Windows 7 prof 64 bit.
Adobe Premiere Elements 10 + Photoshop Elements 10
On the 128 Gb SSD I installed, Windows 7, office 2010, Adobe elements software and the SSD is used for temp/swap-drive for Adobe elements and Windows 7.
The second drive WD SATA 600 black 2 Tb is used for all my video and photo material.
When searching on the internet and on this forum I understand that till Premiere Elements 9 Adobe didn’t use the RAM memory above 3 Gb because of the 32 bit adobe-kernel of the elements series.
Can and will Premiere Elements 10 (or higher) use the memory above 3 Gb?
When I install 32 Gb (4x8 Gb) of DRAM Memory the recommended windows swap file will be around (2x32 =) 64 Gb. With windows 7, and some software installed there will be not much space left on the SSD drive for the adobe premiere elements temp-drive. I probably have to set the temp-drive to the WD 2 TB sata 600 because there is more free space left.
I'm not sure if it is sensible to upgrade my memory.
1 Is it sensible to upgrade my memory to 32 Gb? And will it likely increase the rendering-speed of premiere elements 10 (or a future release premiere elements)?
2 Is it sensible to upgrade my memory to 16 Gb (4x 4Gb)?
3 The 32 Gb memory-upgrade costs around 300 euro/dollar. Is there a better way to improve the rendering speed (I’m not comfortable with overclocking the system)?
Hope you can help me out with this question.
Thanx!

What RAM is currently installed?
What kind of video are you processing - Standard Def. High Def. Full HD ?
What kind of durations do your project have?
Generalising, based on what others have posted, 8GB seems to be the minimum recommendation and 16GB should be excellent - if you can get 2 x 8GB you have the option for another two later.
You might want to consider a second hard disk for your temp files.
remkosp wrote:

Since Vista I don't think that generalisation is any longer relevant. It was much more appropriate to XP and when machine RAM was still measured in MB rather than GB. With 16GB or more real RAM there shouldn't be that much need for swapping to disk anyway.
