Organiser in Premiere Elements is driving me utterly mad

I have both Photoshop and Premiere Elements 9 on my system. With Photoshop I 'organise ' a large selection of foto's, around 13.000. Those are located on a windows home server in my gigabit network.
When I start Premiere, it opens that catalogue and the system slows down to a crawl. It takes minutes to start a new project. When I add video to my project, it adds it to the photo catalogue so the video shows up when I use Photoshop to manage my photos. I do not want that. I want Premiere not to open any catalogue. Ever. Iwant to start a video project, import video, work on it, export, delete the video source files. I want to use Premiere Elements standalone. I do not want to sue a catalogue, or library, or whatever. I want to see the files I add to the project, nothing else.
Is this possible?

Those photos are not in your Premiere Elements project, if they appear on the Organize or Media panel. The only media files in your project are those in the Project panel.
The Organize or Media panel is merely a preview window to your Organizer's catalogs.
There is no reason the program should struggle or slow to a crawl because of photos are any files that appear in your Organizer catalog. At least not after the first time you open the program. There must be something else going on that's slowing down your machine.

Premiere elements 12 Re-using (self made) titles.

Hello,
My name is Stephan and i am new here. I used to work with an other program but i had enough of the eternal problems. I decided to buy Premiere elements 12 (Dutch version) and i am very glad i did so.
My question is about the use of titles. I made a small title and would like to copy that and use it a little bit further in the movie. But changing the tekst in the first title also changes the tekst in the second (or other copied) titles. In some way the parts are linked withe eachother and this is of course not what i would like. I tried to change the name of the title, but still all the other titles change also. What can i do about this?
Also i made a title myself with some animation and i would like to uste that in other movies. I saw something from Elements 11 in which they said that you must select the title and export it as an title file. In 12 i can not do that. The Export button can not be selected.
Can someone help me??
Many thanks, Stephan

Stephan
What computer operating system are you running Premiere Elements 12 on? If you have not already, please update from 12 to 12.1 via a project's Help Menu/Update. Just background information for now.
The immediate issues...
"Change one title change others" is a classical happening since you are working with titles with the same file name. In Project Assets, right click the title's thumbnail, select duplicate to duplicate the title, and then drag the duplicate to the Timeline.
The secret to success in saving the title created in the Titler is to
a. With Titler closed, go to Expert workspace, Project Assets, and select/highlight the thumbnail for the title created in the Titler.
b. now when you go to File Menu/Export/Title, Title will be active and ready for use.
If you have not seen the following, it may be helpful to you as you move forward with your Premiere Elements projects and its titles.

Will Premiere Elements 10 projects work in Premiere Elements 11?

I'm asking because i have just made 3 video projects of my baby's first 3 years in Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 7. I want to buy a new Windows 8 PC soon. Can i just buy the new Premiere Elements 11 and install that on my new Windows 8 PC and use it to open my projects, or would there be compatibility problems and therfore should i just try and install my normal Premiere Elements 10 on the new Windows 8 PC?
Thanks for your help.

Hi erocks
I'm Paul and i started this thread.
I thought this information would be helpful for you.
I have bought a brand new Windows 8 PC. It's 64 bit. My previous computer was Windows 7 x32 bit. I have successfully installed Premiere Elements 10 on my new Windows 8 computer (but needed to install the 64 bit version of the program (same serial works)).
All my Premiere Elements 10 projects that were made on the Windows 7 pc open up just fine on the new Windows 8 pc, with no issues what so ever.
I would advise you to install Quicktime too as Premiere Elements needs that to be installed too. Also, i would strongly advise you to install a codec pack too, for the video codecs, or your new computer (& therefore Premiere Elements) could well have problems reading, opening and using certain video file types. If your Windows 8 pc is 64 bit then make sure you install 64 bit video codecs as well as the 32 bit versions. This is because Premiere Elements on a 64 bit system will need to use 64 bit video codecs.
Here's a link for some codec packs. Make sure you install the 32 bit version, and if you are using a 64 bit system then install the 64 bit video codec pack as well (find it at the bottom of the codec web page).
http://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm_
P.s if you installed the extra Premiere Elements content on your old installation then don’t forget to install that too on your new pc. You can download that by logging onto your online adobe account, finding your order, and downloading from there.
Please let me know if that helped, as im quite interested to know the outcome.

Can premiere elements do the following?

1. rotate a clip?
2. color correct a clip?
3. modify brightness of a clip?
4. remove a portion of a clip in the middle of a clip?

Thank you for identifying the program of interest as Premiere Elements 12 on assumed Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
We are not Adobe trying to sell you Premiere Elements (any version). This is user to user where this user tries to supply Premiere Elements users with customized answers to Premiere Elements questions.
1. You can read the Premiere Elements 12 Help PDF that is available online, and it has Table of Content with clearly defined Chapters and subject matter under those Chapter titles including the items that I am about to mention
http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/premiere-elements_reference.pdf
2. The Adobe Effects Reference link that I already gave you is an excellent one for sizing up the Effects situation, including Color Correction and Brightness.
The header of that Effects Reference document has a list of categories to click on...Adjust for Brightness and Color Correction for Color Correction.
In the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace you would find Color Correction under the fx Effects Tab/Color Correction. For
Brightness, see fx Effects/Advanced Adjustments/Image Control. These particular effects you drag into the Timeline clip and then edit
the effect under the Applied Effects Tab.
3. In Premiere Elements 12, you can burn to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, AVCHD format on DVD disc, and Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.
You can also burn to folder for DVD-VIDEO and AVCHD (VIDEO_TS Folder to take to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc and the BDMV Folder to take to AVCHD on DVD disc with 3rd party software. No burn to folder for Blu-ray. And, Premiere Elements stop markers do not function at playback for AVCHD DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.
4. As for Rotation...
a. Right click the file on the Expert workspace Timeline, select Rotate 90 Right or Rotate 90 Left from the pop up menu.
or
b. Select the Timeline clip, go to Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded to find the Rotation option
with more controls.
Also check out Adobe TV Premiere Elements 12 for video tutorials.
http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-premiere-elements-12/
You leave yourself open to a lot of surprises if you do not look at the Premiere Elements 12 tryout before purchase. It can crash like any other version of Premiere Elements or any other software given the appropriate circumstances (some explained, some not.)
And I have no idea where you are coming from when you ask
BTW, Can PS 12 burn Blu-Ray?
Is that supposed to represent Premiere Elements 12? The abbreviation made me wonder since PS typical is used to represent Photoshop and PSE is used to represent Photoshop Elements. I am assuming that you meant Premiere Elements and that PS was a typing mistake.
Please review and consider.

Premiere Elements file type for Elements Organiser

I use PSE13 organiser ( for pictures and movies) and editor. I recently purchased Premiere Elements 13 and have just edited my first movie.
I would like to only access Premiere Elements via the Photoshop Elements organiser, but I am unsure what file type to save my Premiere edited files, so that they can be imported and tagged in the Elements organiser, and also played via the elements organiser.
I only want to run one organiser. Is this possible and what should I be saving my final Premiere files as after editing. ( in the same way that I save a PSD file to a JPG once editing is complete in elements editor.
Thanks

Your choice of export to conform to the support of the Elements Organizer seems limiting to me. But....
If I have a 1080p30 Timeline in Premiere Elements 13 Editor project and export it
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30
That file saved to the computer hard drive can be taken into the Elements Organizer 13
a. displaying a thumbnail with an image from the video
and
b. can be played back in the Elements Organizer 13 player.
I have not gone through all the export choices to sort out which formats will do likewise. But, this particular AVCHD.mp4 (1920 x 1080p30) result is
as described.
What is your export choice now and is the end product importing into the Elements Organizer 13, displaying there, and playing back from there?

Installed Photoshop CS5 - Premiere Elements and Organiser now Crashes

Hi
I've just installed Photoshop CS5 on my computer which alreadys had Premeire Elements 9 on.
Initially when I tried to launch Photoshop I got a crash to do with the scriptingsupport.8li which was resolved by disabling the plugin, however now when I try to launch Premiere Elements or the Elements Organiser, I get a windows error box.
Premiere Elements 9 is crashing due to a problem with WS.dll. I've tried restoring the dll from the original cab folder and checking for updates and installing the latest ones but still the problem persists.
Any ideas on how I can solve it?
Thanks

I'm definitely going to look into it. Thanks. Have a great holiday.

Adobe premiere elements 9 not editing

This is my second attempt to post (my last one a little while ago didn't appear).
I have bought the above package mainly to edit some club videos. It is driving me mad.
I have a Sony Viao
Vista Home Premium
Service pack 2
Intel Core DUO CPU
2.00 GB Ram
32-bit
I have imported a video from my comcorder to the PC via ION EZ Converter. The video is stored as a .mpg file.
When I open up organiser the thumbnail is there.
The first time I opened organiser I somehow managed to drag the video to the left side of the screen and got a timeline but when I started it up I got sound but no picture. However, now when I open up organiser and go into EDIT, aand try to drag across I get automatically sent into video effects and can't go back!
I was told that the problem may be due to incorrect codecs and I have downloaded K-LITE MEGA Codec but that doesn't seem to have helped.
Before I did this I also got a message in elements
"we have detected an incompatible display driver. To get a better and faster playback performance please update your display driver.
Display driver details: NVIDIA Corporation - GeForce 8400M G7/PCI/SSE2 2.1.1"

Premiere Elements 12 wont open project

Hi, have been using PRE 12 for a year or so with no problems, about a month a go whilst using the programme I received a virus which was cleaned but since then I only get the sign on screen and when I choose new project I get the purple and black line for ages then it just sits there, my PC spec is good, Nvidea GTS 450, 6 Gig ram plenty of HHD as I said have had no previous problems I have googled every Q & A and tried everything as follows:-
Scanned with AV from AVG, Avast, Win Defender, Windows essentials all clean no problems, then uninstalled them as not wanting a conflict, tried running with no AV no joy
loaded PRE 12, 5 times now, un installed using windows control panel and Tune up utilities cleaning the registry every time before re installing with fire wall and AV off, found and deleted baddrivers.txt (just the once) disabled the GTS 450 still no joy, rolled it back and tried a previous version, tried loading with diagnostic start up ie nothing else loaded no joy, scandisk, chkdsk, scannow, every type of Windows check I can throw at it, had PRE10 loaded and had the same problem so un installed that, still no joy, ran a Win 7 repair disc (the one you can burn from your own PC) my PC was built professionally (DinoPC) but didn't come with a win 7 disc.
All other programmes run fine, internet fine, it will open the organiser where I down loaded the latest PRE 12 update I am just so frustrated can any one shed some light? Regards Clive.

Thanks for the follow up.
With regard to the hosts file, are you just looking at everything below the line of the hosts file's default text # ::1 localhost, not above that line to # 127.0.0.1 localhost? As I mentioned in the blog post
The Windows 7 64 bit default hosts file is shown in Figure 1. Look for any entries below the line
# ::1 localhost
If any found, such as, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com, delete them only after a backup of the hosts file is made and saved to the computer desktop for safe keeping.
If you have not already, you may want to consider
a. uninstall the program
b. update the Adobe Application Manager
c. reinstall Premiere Elements 12 with antivirus and firewalls disabled.
What you might want to consider also is getting Adobe involved via its Adobe Chat. To do that you could click on the following link. When it opens, click on the statement "Still Need Help? Contact Us." to bring up the Adobe Chat on the topic of Downloading, Installing, and Setting Up.
Contact Customer Care
I suggest this since it might have some undocumented troubleshooting that might pin point the issue in your situation.
Please review the above and then let us know how you are progressing.
Do not give up.

Premiere Elements 8 won't do anything after opening - and after loading contents disk

Similar to an earlier thread, ie: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3058854#3058854 I couldn't get Premiere Elements to work - but this was back in July and I hadn't found the forums at that point, getting baffling lost trying to find anything at all useful on the Adobe website.
Premiere Elements 8 did originally display an error message if you tried to open a project, ie I managed to open an existing project or create a new one, but the program only ever showed a blank screen and no menu options could be selected so these projects were empty. This error message appeared if I tried to open a project I'd just created with premiere elements 8. It didn't even seem to like its own files.
It's a brand new pc, so it's never had any other versions of premiere on it. It came from Dell preloaded with premiere/photoshop elements but only the latter works.
Initially I spent hours trying to get this to work, searching for clues on the Adobe website, but then other pressing things have intervened and I gave up on it until today.
About the last thing I did was to download a trial version and install that and I entered my full version registration number when doing this. Still nada and I gave up.
Well today I had another go. If I opened my empty project from the organiser I got a blank screen, then I tried again from within Premiere. I also tried opening it as a new project giving it the same name as the original. Surprise, surprise, it worked and the monitor and timeline, etc, appeared. However it was temperamental and if I closed the program down I seemed to have to open it a few times in Premiere (not the organiser that never seemed to work) before the workspace appeared.
I should have thought myself lucky and left things like this. When the program started it reminded me that the stuff on the contents disk wasn't loaded. I decided to load it up too but in the process I got an error message. I think it said something about Framework 4 being loaded? by user system and that this needed to be changed. I let it go ahead and do this and left all the contents loading up. Takes a long time doesn't it? Needless to say this isn't the first time I've done this.
Well it was after this that I arrived back at the blank screen, nothing opening up at all just as it was when I started - a little loading project window appears, the blue progress line gets to 100%, but the application screen remains grey and none of the menu options can be selected. I tried loading the 8.01 patch but this made no difference.
Has anyone got any clues on this?
It's a Dell Studio 15, i5, 4Gb RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate, 400 Gb free space.

There may be some clue in that while I was briefly able to use the application I added a few picture files and put them on the timeline.
Tidying up the pictures on the pc into one folder meant that one of these was no longer where Premiere Elements 8 expected it to be and on one of my trys at getting it to run again (with the same multiple attempts at opening a project as before) it did actually display a dialog asking for the missing file and then wonder of wonders the monitor window, timeline, etc, appeared as before.
This meant that the menus are accessible at present and so I've been able to check the background rendering preference and it is set to off.
Once I close the application down again I'm sure it's going to behave as before, ie blank screen again. True enough just tried this and it's back to blank screen mode. I didn't save the project so the files are still 'missing'.
BTW I've already turned off Autoanalyse in the Organiser.

Missing Animated GIF option in Premiere Elements 9

Greetings!
I have been researching this for a while and it's driving me a little crazy. I have an incredibly short video clip (like three seconds) that would make a perfect animated GIF. I read online that it's possible. The help files for Premiere list Animated GIF as a supported export format.
BUT, when I go to the Share tab, there isn't a single option for creating one. It's a pretty infuriating.
Any help?

I'm looking at the help file for Premiere Elements 9, and it lists Animated GIF. I do not think it's unusual for a video editor to export a video to a "motion image." It exports individual image files, so why not GIF? And there are instructions elsewhere online for creating GIFs with Premiere, but they're all using older versions using the File > Export menu. That item is grayed out now, which is another terrible UI design because it took me a while, as a new Premiere user, to figure out how to perform the basic task of creating a video from my timeline.

How do I sharpen video from DSLR in Premiere Elements 11?

I've been using PE11 for some time now. Mostly for home videos and a youtube channel. Up until this point I have used a Canon Vixia HF M-50 which was great. I had to do very little adjusting the picture in post for what I needed. But I just recieved a Canon 7D with a couple good lenses and I will be selling the Vixia. I know the 7D has the capability to take much better video and I am getting better at the manual settings. Most tutorials out there say to have your settings with the sharpness and contrast turned all the way down and adjust in post. The sharpen "effect" doesn't really do much and my footage from the vixia looks much sharper. Any help out there for a newb? Or am I going to have to upgrade my computer and software to keep up with the new equipment?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for getting back
I used a Samsung SMX-F40BP/XEU "Handycam" recording from the the image projected on to a screen. This produced mp4 video files on an SD Card, H.264/AVC Format with AAC Audio
I then dragged and dropped the raw video files on to the PC hard drive, and added the folder to the Adobe Organizer.
When creating the projects I
1) Create a a New Project PAL Standard DV 48KHz to match the 4:3 aspect ratio of the original film
2) Drag the video/clip I intend to work with from the organizer window in to the work are of Adobe Premiere Elements 11.
When I was originally doing this yesterday for the first 15 clips, when added to the timeline, the video clips appeared as 1 contiguous clip as in the first image i posted.
When i went to work today I noticed that when i dragged a clip from the organiser to the work area, the video took longer to appear on the timeline, I could see the progress as it was added, with lines appearing where scenes/splits are being automatically added as in the second image I posted.
I noticed first thing that the clips were appearing in the organiser window with different icons, and in some cases I could expand the clips to see all scenes that had apparently been generated automatically. All clips in the orgnaiser now appear with the same icon, and are all expandable.
If i now create a new project and use one of the original clips that originally appeared as 1 contiguous clip on the timeline, it is now split automatically, as with the later clips.

How do I correct random audio pops in Premiere Elements 13?

Please help me with this audio issue! I hear occasional pops (skipped words, not smooth narration) in my edit. I shot the footage with a Rode video mic, but have not had this problem with this microphone before, and furthermore the pops appear not on the same marks every time, so it is not embedded in the original footage and therefore I conclude that the original audio quality is fine. At first I thought it was a yet-to-render issue, but after rendering it (while editing), and ALSO after publishing it to my computer to watch a version there, I still here random pops. Once I published it to my computer, the pops were stuck to specific points in the edit, but this is not so when I watch my edit in Elements, the pops are always in different places, and often will not be there when I roll back to try to immediately listen again for a just-heard pop.
Can anyone help with this? How can I smooth out my audio?

Before we go off the deep edge here, perhaps some clarification.
What is the brand/model/settings for the Canon camera that you are using?
I think that Hunt may be being jumping ahead here. Let me explain....
For example, the Canon SX1 lS generates files with the file name starting with MVI_XXXX.mov. These are AVCHD.mov files 1920 x 1080p30 and have no problems in Premiere Elements 12.
So, I would ask "In your case, is your MVI the file extension or the beginning of the file name?"
Thanks.

Error Message in Premiere Elements 7

I have used Premiere Elements 7 successfully for some time. I recently got a new Windows 7 laptop and loaded PREL 7 onto it. When I start a new project, in the ORGANISE section, when I go to add media, I select as I did before an .mp4 file but after a short while I get an error message saying "This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed". I have got the latest version of Quicktime installed, but I am now lost for how to get over this. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Bill,
You are a top man!
I reloaded QT as you suggested and it worked. I would never have thought of that.
Many thanks indeed.

How do I prevent automatic scene creation in Premiere Elements 11

I'm real noob with Premiere Elements, so hope I have the correct terminology. I am in the process of converting a collection of old Super 8 cine film to DV. I have the complete reels as a collection of MP4s on my computer hard drive, and am using Organiser as the source when adding videos to a project. While working I have been able to add a video, then quickly apply rotation, resizing (to fit the full 4:3 frame) and then edit the video into clips or scenes to form chapters on a DVD. However, when working yesterday I noticed that when I drag a video in to the project workspace, it is being automatically divided in to multiple scenes. I notcied also that in the Organiser the videos can be expanded to show the scenes. This has made what was a fairly straight forward task more complicated as I am having to examine and work with multiple clips instead of just the one.
I'm not aware that I made any changes to settings, but is there something I can change to stop this behaviour? it does seem that it is a background process performed by Organiser, as the video files I was working with originally that were not automatically split into scenes now appear to be. In the projects I orginally created the video still appears on the timeline as one contiguous clip.
Video added to timeline appears as 1 contiguous clip
Video added to timeline is automatically split in to multiple clips or scenes
I've had a look through preferences of Organiser and the project, but can't see anything obvious.
I understand that I can apply edits to 1 clip and paste the attributes across all, but it is the process of editing in to the scenes/chapters that I want that is now considerably more complicated and laborious than it was previously.
Thanks
Matt
