Power Point + Premiere Elements 12

Is it possible to import a power point presentation into Premiere Elements??

Cabbagepatchkid
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
What version of PowerPoint do you have? See File Menu/Save and Send.
If you have PowerPoint 2010, you should be able to export .jpg and .wmv files from PowerPoint project and import them from the hard drive save location into
Premiere Element 12 with Premiere Elements 12's Add Media/Files and Folders.
Have you been there and done that?
Please let us know if you found the features mentioned in your PowerPoint program.
Thanks.

  • Frozen Video Playback in Adobe Premiere Elements 8

    I have been using the trial version of Premiere Elements and have been thinking about buying it but I have had some problems with it.  When I go to play the video that I imported from my DV camera, the viewer plays a few frames and suddenly freezes.  I can hear the audio but the video does not come back until I pause it.  Then it just shows the last frame.  I tried playing it on other programs such as windows media player and Ulead video studio, and it works fine.  I am impressed with the power of Premiere Elements and am looking forward to editing on it if I can figure out what is wrong.
    Here are my system specs.
    Processor
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor
    Ram
    2 GB
    Operating System
    Windows 7 Beta
    32-bit operating system
    Display
    NVIDIA GeForce 6200
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum.
    When I go to play the video that I imported from my DV camera, the viewer plays a few frames and suddenly freezes.  I can hear the audio but the video does not come back until I pause it.
    You say "Import," but do you mean "Capture?" These are two totally different operations.
    Can you tell us more about these AV files? The freeware program, G-Spot, will get you those details.
    Similar often happens, when one is not working with DV-AVI files, and often are Importing MJPEG files. For those, you will want to get either the Morgan, or the MainConcept MJPEG CODEC. If not, more details will be helpful.
    Good luck,

  • AVI Xvid and Premiere Elements 6......will I have problems?

    Hello,
    I am thinking about buying an Insignia NS-DCC5HB09 HD Camcorder which records to AVI(Xvid). I realize this isn't a high quality camera, but from what I've seen, will do as well if not better than my Panasonic PV-GS120 digital Camcorder.
    I use Premiere Elements 6 on my Vista Home Premium Computer and I am curious if anyone can tell me if I will have problems using the video from this camera in my projects?

    Many of the hi-def camcorders that are sold as being perfect for YouTube use MP4 compression (the Flip cameras, for instance). They're nice and small and cheap and are great for plug and play, but I don't recommend them if you want to do any video editing.
    I also recommend against camcorders that save to hard drives, including the AVCHD hi-def camcorders. (I say this despite the fact that many people are using them.) They demand a tremendous amount of computing power in Premiere Elements. Maybe, in a few years, when computers are twice as fast as a typical quad core -- but not for today's under $1,000 computers.
    My not-so-humble advice is to stick with tape-based camcorders, whether they are standard DV or hi-def. That means miniDV and HDV, basically. In fact, the Canon HV camcorders are used by a number of the people on the Muvipix site and they love them! Affordable and excellent quality.
    In fact, go over to the Muvipix forum and check out the camcorder forum there. I'm sure you'll find lots of good information and friendly advice.

  • Transcoding error with Premiere Elements at 50% encoding point

    I am getting a transcoding error at exactly the 50% encoding point multiple times.  I have reduced the amount of video to burn and also tried burning to a file with no success.  I have even purchased a 1 TB hard drive, re-installed Windows XP and the Premiere Elements software to make sure I had enough hard drive space and still am getting the error.  Any other ideas.

  • Premiere Elements 8 and crashes

    Question:  I have tried all the Adobe recommended fixes due to my NVidia graphics card but my project still regularly crashes and now as soon as it starts loading the elements, it crashes with no error message.
    System:  Windows 7 Professional (x64) (build 7600)

                  NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS Display Adapter with newest 64 bit driver 266.58
    Assets:   About 300 still images imported from an album in Photoshop elements shot with a Cannon Power Shot a570 IS
                  Stills are at 3072 x 2304 or vice version, RGB, 180 resolution
                  27 short video clips from a Kodak Zi6 converted to avi files by AVS Video Converter
    Project:  I believe the presets are for NTSC DV although I can't get in to check; they've been this way because I usually shoot video with my Sony VX 2100.
    Workflow:  I imported the stills in chronological order preceding the first video.  Then more stills in chronological order before the next relevant video.  I am using the timeline.  After each import I save, add transitions (mostly the cross dissolve), save, and render.  Sometimes after saving rendered files, the system crashes and when I get back in the files haven't been rendered.
         Some vertical stills it accepts just fine.  For some others, I have to rotate them.
    What I have done:  I read all the suggestions from Adobe and the forums for dealing with the NVIDIA card.  This is what I have done in the approximate order I have done it:
         1. Installed the 8.0.1 update
         2. Updted the NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS driver to the newest 64 bit driver 266.58.  I tried to do this update a couple of times.  The sytem kept telling me the 260 driver was current but the NVIDIA website said to use the 266.58.  I finally got it installed but a little later in the process.
         3. I could not disable the Hardware Acceleration as the NVIDIA card would not let me...the option was grayed out.
         4. I set both the global and the Premiere Elements threaded optimination to off.
         5. I turned off "Enable GPU playback" at one time when I could still get into the program.
         6. I recreated the adobe premiere elments plugincache.
         7. I uninstalled the Nvidia 3D Stereo driver...it was called Stereo not steroscopic.  In the NVIDIA control panel I did not install the Stereoscopic functions.
         8.  I was still crashing frequently. I was getting the low memory message, so I searched the forums and found directions to change the size of the paging file by clicking Start/accessories/run as administrator/enter at the command prompt BCDEDIT/SET INCREASEUSERVA ####.  I started with 3072 then gradually increased as it wasn't helping up to 8000.
         9. I think I finally upgraded the driver to the 266.58 at this point.
        10.  This morning I found directions on how to check the size of the paging file by accessing the control panel.  It showed my paging file was only 4096 (I guess the former advice didn't work) and it changed it to a virtual memory minimum of 8000 and a maximum of 10000.
         Now I can't get into the program at all.  It says it has loaded 100%, then there is a 100 second pause.  It starts loading the media and crashes.
    I love Adobe products and was a former Adobe Premiere 6.5 user. Premiere Elements as described is perfect for me as a video hobbyist.  Please help!  I would welcome any more suggestions that I can try.  Do you think I should just find a replacement for the NVidia board?  If so, what would you recommend.  I tend to do long projects.  I just can't live with all these crashes.
    Sincerely,
    Tracy Matern

    Tracy,
    Great job with the details - very well done!
    This should be a "poster-child" for how to state details, and a problem.
    Now, first thing that I see, regarding the crashes are the size of your still images. Overly-large stills require a ton of resources, and can crash the program, and/or the computer. Scaling of the stills to near the Frame Size of the Project will help greatly, and actually improve the quality of the output. This ARTICLE will give you tips.
    Next, with a 64-bit OS, like Win7-64, 4GB of RAM is about the minimum for just the OS. Though PrE cannot use more than the 3.5GB of RAM, as it is still a 32-bit app., but the OS and other programs, certainly can. I would bump that up, if at all possible. Your OS and any other programs, will love you for it.
    Off the top of my head, it sounds like you have got the video sub-system well handled, and would look beyond it (for now), to other factors.
    You might want to see this ARTICLE on setting up a computer for video-editing sessions, and especially the link to Black Viper's Win7 Tune Up Tips Web site.
    Also, check that you have the latest version of Apple's QT Player.
    If necessary, there are more troubleshooting tips, and I'll be glad to share those, if necessary.

  • Problems with Premiere Elements 12

    I've been using Adobe's "Elements" applications since Vs 3.0. Each release seems to include undocumented features that cause problems, and don't get fixed until a next major release, for which we are charged a tidy sum.
    "Premiere 12" and its associated "Organizer" are no exceptions. Background:
    1. FINALLY am running a new PC considering I'm using AVCHD "m2ts" file formats generated by Sony HD Camcorder, for which previous PC and versions of Adobe Premiere Elements (8, 10, etc.) were fairly sluggish with their performance. New PC: Windows 8.1, 32GB RAM, >7TB HDD space, Intel i7 CPU, GIGABYTE MB, NVIDIA GeForec GTX 770 Video Adapter...plenty of computing power!
    2. Installed Photoshop/Premiere Elements/Organizer on C: drive, default locations.
    3. Experienced following problems, for which several have been kind enough to offer suggestions for repair, but none so far have worked.
         a. When adding "text" captions, after a few have been created the control panel for text loses contact with the "Style" and "Effects" modules, making these capabilities non-functional.
         b. When creating menus for discs, the DVD menu navigation operates correctly, but the Blu-ray menus do not. The "Stop" markers, while functional for DVDs, are not functional for Blu-ray discs. When a video is played that encounters a "stop" marker with a DVD build, the end action is properly realized with the main menu then making a reappearance, allowing one to make the next choice. When a video is played through to encounter a "stop" marker with a Blu-ray build, the video does NOT return to the main menu, but rather continues playing into the 2nd movie (or beyond) until it reaches the absolute end of content on the disc...at which time we are then returned to the main menu. Finally reading the manual, it indicates that this is a problem! FIX!?
         c. "Organizer," which works with both Premiere and Photoshop Elements, is highly unstable when working with AVCHD files, while it performs "normally" with still images (photos, etc.). I have over 4,000 AVCHD (m2ts) video clips that I was attempting to bring into Organizer. My first attempt was to let Organizer "see" all of the files and to "bring them into" its catalog. However, after a short period of time, with less than 100 or so video clips identified and thumbnailed, Organizer either stops working and hangs, or crashes totally. I found that to get these 4,000 files into Organizer I had to manually pick around 50 or so files at a time, which Organizer seems able to begin its "first stage" of identifying, creates "placeholders" in the Organizer's screen, then crashes or hangs. At that point, I must restart Organizer, which will then continue on to successfully build thumbnails. This process was repeated until all 4,000+ files were recognized and ID'd. Regarding this issue: I just updated my "Nero" to "Nero 2014 Platinum," which comes with its own "Organizer" or "Media Manager." it is VERY similar in nature to Adobe's "Organizer," with one major difference...IT WORKS! Nero's manager imported not only the 4,000+ AVCHD files into its catalog, but rumaged around my entire system finding photos and video files I'd long since forgotten about! I've not yet used the new Nero video editing/production tools, but won't be surprized if I find that all works equally as well.
    Not having any "fixes" for these problems, I find I am forced to use other applications (Vegas 12, Pinnacle 17, or perhaps now "Nero" as well) to get on with our production work. Note: I had been using Adobe Premiere 6.0, then CS-4, for a while but with changes in OSs found that these products as well evolved with issues of their own. Not going to spend the big bucks to purchase more expensive problems that don't otherwise get addressed without spending even more $$$ for the next major updates!
    Help?
    George

    Bill;
    YES! It WAS Sonic that I’d suspicioned was at the core of these issues in the past. I’d run into problems a few years ago with various versions of “Creator,” “Roxio,” etc. as well as another similar products, and found “Sonic” to be the common denominator with all similar problems. I had NO idea that Adobe had also chosen to implement a 3rd party’s product (Sonic) as part of their offerings! Well, that says a lot!
    Also did NOT know that Sonic had been sold off to Rovi! Searching the internet…shows this was a big deal back in 2010! Hadn’t been following these things! Looks like Rovi is out to capture the world…would be a nefarious event indeed if they fail to maintain what Sonic has sold to various entities which have incorporated their modules into the various products we continue to own and purchase today!
    I don’t know which cave or rock that Rovi’s been living under, or which marketing outfit they’d signed up with that provided the evaluation that Rovi appears to be reacting to, but we at least are still engaged in sending off videos around the world via DVD/Blu-ray media (and on rare occasions, VHS tape!). Their assessment that delivery of video by physical disc is dead is either wishful thinking or badly mistaken in my opinion. Try, worst case, supplying a video to a person living on an island off of Queensland, Australia, for example, who has NO internet connectivity!
    I know that streaming is a big deal (Netflix, etc.), and that the new buzzword “Cloud” has taken over a lot of the computing world’s philosophy of late…but neither of these “new” ideas are implemented to the extent they would like to believe…and are the domain of mostly “new” users living in areas where these technologies are available. They are cutting off a vast number of video watchers who employ neither of these technologies nor have access to them, who, believe it or not, are still using VHS video tape, DVDs, and/or Blu-ray media to watch videos! The relatively small percentage of individuals who use (can afford, or have access to) either streaming or the cloud does not justify not taking care of business and dropping support for all these products that implement their procured technologies.
    I for one have great/fast access to the Internet (50Mbps +), but really am not of the mindset that I trust uploading/saving critical data to the “Cloud,” and do not do so…even though Microsoft’s latest “Window 8.1” and several other procured applications provide plenty of opportunity to do so! I think the latest stories re Hacking proves this point…and I have experienced the loss of stored data (websites) over the years via professional website hosting facilities to the point where I know I don’t yet trust the “cloud” to be the repository of my data either…a service which cannot guarantee either the presence or security of data!
    I do also enjoy Netflix’s streaming technology…even though there are occasions whereby a movie is interrupted to buffer additional video data. Sometimes much more frequently than I would appreciate! So…streaming is also not the end all of video watching either! OK…I have rented a DVD or two in the past from Netflix which had been scratched or badly handled, which also provided aggravation as well!
    So long as the industry continues to sell the technology of the day to us consumers who invest in their products, and so long as industry will do what they do best…to continue refining and upgrading capabilities, they must also continue to provide the “cross over” technologies, the continued support that would span at least a few generations of video products that will allow us to continue viewing videos obtained at an earlier time. Right now we see VHS tape is already at its end of life usefulness…and yet there remains support for converting such media. We also see the vast majority of products purporting to support DVD and Blu-ray builds…the latest of video products…and yet, the underpinnings of these applications appears to be diminishing already…
    Thanks so much for the feedback and update and the opportunity to vent! Do we know how Adobe is/will be reacting to these events? Will they spend the bucks to come up with their own code to replace that which is not supported any longer by 3rd parties?
    George

  • Premiere Elements 8 keeps closing or crashing

    Hello,
    I was really looking forward to the new Premiere Elements 8, downloaded the trial and....it keeps closing with no error when I am editing very simple videos.  The other thing it does is it will crash sometimes and come up with the Adobe Send Error dialog box.  I have checked other posts and looked at some things like making sure I have the latest Quicktime and I did download the latest Nvidia driver as well.  Thought that it fixed it but nope, had another unexplained crash/closing last night.  I am running Windows 7 RC but dont know if that is the problem.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Oh, and my system is a quadcore and 8 gb of ram, so it should have enough power.
    Doug

    These are their forums and should have moderators monitoring these threads. They are the ones that should bring it up to their development team or someone that can look into it, or get someone from Adobe to come read this thread and give their input on it.
    Here we agree, though not on the exact details. The MOD's on these fora are volunteers. They are mostly power users, who have businesses and lives far beyond the Adobe fora. They give freely of their time, both answering questions and helping to keep the fora running perfectly. None is an employee and none gets any compensation, other than added responsibility and a Moderator's Console to correct things on the fora.
    Other than that point, we are in sync. Especially with a new release of PrE, I feel that there should be an Adobe presence here. Someone from development should be assigned to furnish info on working with the new program, sort out problems and offer suggestions on how to run it to the max. The PrPro forum is very fortunate in that an Adobe employee has showed up and is now a major contributor. I do not know if the forum is part of his "assignment," or if he has just decided to spend time on the forum, contributing. To date, he has furnished tons of great info on upcoming updates and even on CS5, which is still under development. I hope he gets some extra compensation for his efforts and also full support from Adobe.
    The Photoshop has Chris Cox, one of the original developers of the program. I do not know if Chris is there out of love for the program, or as part of his work at Adobe. It's really moot, as his contributions are wonderful, whether he does it out of altruism, or because it's part of his job - the result is the same - a benefit for all forum subscribers.
    One of the big pluses to having someone from the development team would be that we do not spend countless hours of trying to troubleshoot problems, when some simple tweak, fix or change would take care of it. As we are but lowly users, we have to rely on what we have experienced, read, or encountered elsewhere. None of us really knows what is "under the hood." Even Steve G., our MOD, is on the development team. Now, he probably does get his hands on the beta of every version, as soon as possible, but other than maybe some tips from Adobe, he doesn't have access to the code. His knowledge is built on his experience and a sharp mind to figure out how the thing works. Same for AT Romero. While he gets his copies, as do the rest, he has torn into PrE 8 with a critical and analytical eye and published his observations, built on years of experience with PrE and with NLE work in general. Both are invaluable assets, but with a simple Adobe presence, both could be greatly aided. Going back up to Chris Cox and the PS forum: I've been a power-user of PS from the instant that it hit the PC about 20 years ago. I've done most of what PS can do at one time or another. Still, there are times that I speculate on something in that program, only to have Chris come forward and correct me, explaining exactly what the code does and how it does it. I never fail to learn something new about a program that I have used extensively for about two decades - a little Adobe inside info goes a very long way.
    I would also strongly urge Adobe to assign a rep. to this forum, especially now. I would hope that this person is on the development team and not from marketing or elsewhere. I would also hope that this person has actually used the new version in real-world situations, as there are often major differences between the lab and the Projects that people actually produce.
    I realize that there is a major price-point difference between PrE and PS, PrPro, AfterEffects, etc., but the install-base, or potential install-base is much greater for PrE. For Adobe, the unit profit is potentially smaller, but the volume is much, much greater.
    I support your contention that Adobe needs to be here. If they show up, I would strongly urge the forum to be respectful of their time, as they are probably doing this out of the goodness of their heart - though Adobe COULD add a little something to their paycheck. If someone does show up, I'd hope that the subscribers would ask only technical questions and keep any personal feelings about Adobe products to themselves. There should also be respect for the material that this representative could not share for various reasons.
    Going back some years, we were blessed by the presence of an Adobe employee, Wil Renczes, in the PrPro forum. Some people spent a great deal of time yelling at Wil for things that Adobe had done, or not done. Hours of typing went into telling him how much better Avid, or FCP were, compared to Adobe. They demanded to know what the next version would hold. One day, Wil didn't come around anymore. The forum had lost a most valuable asset. My guess was that it just ceased to be fun for Wil anymore and he chucked the whole idea. I hope that the same does not happen with our Adobe representative, Dennis, this time around.
    Just some observations,

  • Adding Music to a slideshow in Premiere Elements 4

    I am new to media software. I have some experience with editing photos in Photoshop Elements 4. Since that program was unable to make slideshows that played on a TV, I purchased the new bundle with Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere Elements 4. I have been having great difficulty finding good instructions on how to do things in these programs. Their online manuals and Help section seem to be for people who are already familiar with these kinds of programs. So, I am here, to try to get some help.
    I made a slideshow in Photoshop Elements 6 and sent it to Premiere Elements 4. I was able to burn it and it plays on our TV. Now I want to add music to it. I first looked at the slideshow in Premiere Elements 4 but could not figure out how to add the music using that program.
    Therefore, I went back to the slideshow I created in Photoshop Elements 6 and have been trying to add music in that program with the idea of sending it to Premiere Elements 4 again when it is time to burn. I need to add Mulitiple Music Selections to the slideshow. I am trying to coordinate different music with the different cities we visited in Alaska. This has been a bit difficult for me to do. I am getting there, but it is not effecient. I posted on the Photoshop Elements Forum and it was suggested I try this forum. Someone thought it might be easier to do using Premiere Elements 4. If there is a link somewhere with directions on how to add the music in either program, I would be most grateful for that information. I am looking for instructions on how to add MULTIPLE music selections to ONE slideshow. I found the instructions for adding one music selection, and I understand that. I just need to take it further. Thank you for any help you can provide.

    Mary,
    I create all of my slideshows in Premiere Pro, so I am learning a lot about the interaction between PSE and PE from your thread. Were it not for Barbs instructions to Break Apart the slide show from PSE, I would never have thought of that. As you say, learn something new everyday. I also only have the full Photoshop, not PS Elements, so I do not know what PSE offers. See, Im learning things right there.
    Now, lets see if I can give you an easy way to do the Fade-out of your Audio, and not confuse you. There are several ways to do this, but I like to use the Audio Mixer. Maybe its because it looks like my mixing console from my analog days and Im comfortable with the pot (potentiometer) control that is displayed.
    You have now followed Barbs instructions to Break Apart the slide show. You are now in the Timeline view and have expanded it horizontally and maybe the two main Track (Audio, where your music is, and Video) vertically, so that you can see your Clips (your slides). Go to the menu at the top of the Workspace and click Window. This will give you a drop-down menu. About 7/8 of the way down, click on Audio Mixer. This would be written as Window>Audio Mixer. This will open a new Panel, Audio Mixer. At the top of this new Panel are the names of your Audio Tracks, say Audio 1, Audio 2, Narration and Music. Because you could have your music on about any of these, youll need to match up its location (left side of the Timeline will give you the exact Track name) with the names of the various Tracks in the Audio Mixer. Once you have that name match, the fun begins.
    I like to place the CTI (the Current Time Indicator) a bit ahead of where I will want to make my change. This gives me some time to get ready. Lets say that your music IS on the Music Track. Looking down below that label in the Audio Mixer, you can see a round knob marked Balance. Look down below that and youll see a vertical window marked Level, with a chart just to the right of it. There are three elements to that chart: a black slot line, and small horizontal rectangle with a horizontal line in it and then numbers with +s and -s. That horizontal rectangle is the pot (potentiometer) handle and is what we will be using. It is probably set a 0, but it might reflect a sound level set previously, maybe in PSE. You might want to jot down where it is set right now, in case we need to go back.
    Now its time to get creative. Position the Audio Mixer where you can see it and also the Timeline. Note that you can change the size of the Audio Mixer, so that it only shows the Audio Track that you are working on, if needed. Place your mouses cursor over the pot handle (that little horizontal bar) click and hold for a second. With your other hand, hit the Spacebar to start the play of your Timeline. The CTI will begin moving to the right and youll hear the Audio Track and see the images in the Monitor. While still clicking and holding on the pot, get ready. When you are approaching where you want your Fade-out to begin, slowly drag the pot down to the very bottom. The idea is to do this at a speed that will get you to the - ∞ point, just as you come to the end of your slide.
    What this does is automatically add Keyframes to the Audio Track (the one where your music is), that go from the set level to silent. This is just how we used to do it pre-digital, except we had our finger on the pot and actually slid a mechanical/electronic device. If you look closely at your Audio Track, youll also see a bunch of little circles on the yellow line. These are the Keyframes. The beauty of doing it this way, is that you can vary the speed of the Fade-out. You can start slowly, then increase the Velocity of the Fade. [Note: in Premiere Pros Effects Panel, you can manipulate this Velocity to your hearts content. I do not believe that PE allows as much control there.]
    There are two other ways to accomplish the same thing. One is to manually add a Keyframe, at the CTI (accomplished by clicking on the little diamond on the left side of the Audio Track in the Timeline), on the Audio Track, where you wish the Fade-out to start. This basically holds the Level before that point to what it was set to. Then you go to the end of that piece of music. Lets say that it ends exactly where your slide ends (on the Video Track). I find that point easily by hitting Page Down, then the <- key (left cursor key). Page Down takes you to the next cut, or Clip, and the <- takes you back to the last frame. Here youd manually add another Keyframe. Drag down on this second Keyframe to drop the Audio level to - ∞ like above.
    The other way to do this is to add an Audio Transition to the end of your music. I use Constant Power from the Audio Transitions pre-sets for this. One can alter the length of these Transitions to fit the time desired for the Fade-out. When it comes to steps involved, this might be the easiest method, but I like the control of Keyframes, and like to use the Audio Mixer to achieve the effect that I am listening for.
    As with most Adobe programs, there are several ways to get what you desire. These methods usually only differ by degrees for control. Some are almost one click and drag solutions, other require user input. The beauty is that the simple way will often get what you want, while the latter will allow much more control.
    Personally, Id try all three, just to see which one is easier for you and which one allows you the exact effect that you want.
    I hope that the forum formatting will bring in the characters that I have used, so you can see them. If you get a bunch of little solid black blocks, it did not. That is why I also added the annotations to tell you what the symbol is.
    Good luck,

  • What resolution should my photos be in Premiere Elements?

    Photos make great source files for a Premiere Elements project, but you’ll find the highest quality results and the best performance from the program if the sizes of your photos are properly optimized before you bring them into your project. We urge you to make sure that any photo you use (especially if you use several in a slideshow) has been resized to no larger than 1000x750 pixels before you bring it into your Premiere Elements project to ensure the best quality and optimal program performance. (Photos taken directly from digital cameras can be 20 to 25 times that size!)
    At first this may seem to go contrary to common wisdom. Traditionally, the higher the resolution of your photo, the better the quality of the output. But remember that Premiere Elements is a video editing program, and video is a relatively low resolution medium (essentially the equivalent of 640x480 pixels). And, to a point, reducing the resolution of a photo or graphic to be used in a video actually improves the quality of the video output. (1000x750 pixels seems to be that point)
    The reason for this has to do with a process called downsampling, the system a video program uses to bring high-resolution photos down to video size. Premiere Elements does a fair job of this – but, as any pro knows, nothing that happens automatically will be as clean or as efficient as what you do manually. “Down-rezzing” is definitely one of these things.
    There’s also a more pressing reason for downsampling your photos yourself. The process of “down-rezzing”, like the process of assimilating non-DV-AVI files into a video project, is a very intensive process. So intensive, in fact, that it’s the single biggest reason Premiere Elements fails, particularly during the disc burning process.
    It takes a lot longer for the program to down-rez a 4000x3000 pixel photo than it does a 1000x750 pixel photo. Many, many times longer. And would you rather wait an hour or two for the program to transcode your DVD or 10 hours for a process that might end up with the program choking and dying anyway?
    Photoshop Elements, by the way, has a very nice batch resizing feature that can resize a whole folder full of photos in just a few clicks. You’ll find it under the program’s File drop-menu, listed as Process Multiple Files.
    For high-definition video, you can increase the size of the photos to 2000x1500 -- although you should be aware that this will require much more processing time and computer power than standard definition video.

    Rene,
    For the ultimate viewing on an HD TV, one is best to do a BD Project and then burn to a BD (Blu-ray Disc). Going to any SD format, like DVD-Video will result in having the material up-rezed to fit. This will work to varying degrees of success, and will depend very heavily on the set-top player's uprezing capabilities, plus on the settings on the TV, as well. There WILL be quality compromises, when viewing and SD Project on an HD player and TV.
    Even with HD Projects, one is best to size the still images as closely, as is possible, to the Frame Sizes in that Project's Preset, say to only a bit more than 1920 x 1080, if that is the Preset chosen for the HD (BD) Project. Here's a LINK to the accepted HD formats.
    This ARTICLE will give tips on resizing of stills before Import. Now, the sizes listed are SD, but it's easy to "do the math" to get to a BD Project Preset size.
    Good luck, and hope that this helps,

  • Premiere Elements 11 Sound turns off after 5 seconds on DVD

    Hi Folk,
    I have been using Elemnts 11 for a few months with good success. I created a video from 8-9 clips and it play fine in the tool. I can see the images OK and hear all the audio throughout the video. When I burn a DVD to a Folder on my laptop and play it using Quick time the audio drops out after about 5-6 seconds. I also did a test run and burned the DVD files to a physical DVD and tried to play it and got the same result of the audio droping out.
    Thaks For you help,

    SnapDragon_M5
    Bottom line: I have no problem taking your M2U00715.MPG file into Premiere Elements 11 NTSC DV Widescreen project and burning it to DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on a DVD-RW (4.7 GB/120 min) disc, with full playback of video and audio on the computer or via the DVD player of my TV.
    These are the details:
    Your source media
    720 x 480 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second. MPEG2 video compression and Dolby Digital Stereo 2 channel audio. This interlaced video is characterized by Fields = Upper Field First, so this must be taken into consideration when the end product is DVD-VIDEO whose format calls for Fields = Lower Field First.
    Importing the file could be done two ways:
    a. Add Media/Files and Folder/ and then dragging the file from Project Assets to the Timeline. The program should automatically set the project preset at NTSC Hard Disk Flash Memory Camcorders Widescreen 48 kHz because it is recognizing that Fields = Upper Field First. Check Edit Menu/Project Settings to verify that is indeed what the program did.
    IMPORTANT. When you bring the file into Add Media, look for a progress bar at the bottom right of the interface. I found an Indexing, followed by a Conforming process at that point. Do not proceed with any work until after those activities are completed and the progress bar closes.
    or
    b. Opening Premiere Elements 11 Windows, going to File Menu/New/Project, selecting NTSC DV Widescreen in the New Project dialog, putting a check mark next to "Force selected settled Project Setting for this project" and exiting from there. Then I imported the clip with Add Media/Files and Folders to Project Assets from where I dragged the file to the Timeline. On the Timeline, I right clicked the clip, selected Field Options and its Reverve Field Dominance option.
    I used b.
    What was on that Timeline had a duration of 50 minutes and 47 seconds. In the burn dialog, the Quality section, the Space Required = 3.15 GB and Bitrate = 8.00 Mbps (megabits per second). The DVD-VIDEO was produced via Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc, using the preset = NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD. The DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc was completed in about 30 minutes. It played back with Windows Media Player, VLC player, CyberLink Power DVD with full video and audio.
    In view of the above, I would suggest the following:
    1. Repeat what I have just described as a successful run. Take the Organizer out of the equation for now and import the file directly from its hard drive save location via Add Media/Files and Folders.
    2. When that file hits Project Assets, do not drag it to the Timeline until you are sure that there is no progress bar at the bottom right of the interface, indexing and/or conforming the file.
    3. If there is no sound or only a bit of sound on the DVD-VIDEO disc produced, then take the disc to someone else's computer to determine if the file has no sound with this other person's player (computer or TV DVD player).
    4. This one file has a file size of about 2 GB. How many files are you typically burning to DVD-VIDEO from the Timeline. In this context, how much available RAM and free hard drive space does your computer have? Are you getting any low memory messages at any time during the workflow?
    Please review, let us know the results, and we will try to help further if needed.
    Thanks.

  • Inserting a video into Power Point Slide

    I am using Power Point 2011 version 14.4.5 on my MacBook Air with OSX 10.9.5.  When I insert a video clip (mp4) into a new slide it plays fine but when I close the reopen the file it is a picture of the first frame and I can't play it.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running? What version of PowerPoint do you have? Background information for now.
    A prel file is the project file for a Premiere Elements project. It is not a video file that can be imported into non supported software.
    You cannot even open a Premiere Elements project prel in another project.prel.
    You can create a Timeline in a Premiere Elements project and export that Timeline to a  file saved to a format that is compatible with PowerPoint.
    And, then you Insert/Video that file into your PowerPoint presentation. With Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, this seems to be what is supported video-wise
    Please review, and then let us know if you need clarification on any of the above.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere elements next to other video program

    Hi there,
    For the moment I use Cyberlink Power Director 5 for my videos and music videos.
    However I noticed that Adobe Premiere Elements has also some nice features.
    I would like to know if APE can be installed next to my other video program?  Sometimes a new program refuses to install because another video program is already installed on the PC.
    Thanks in advance for your info.
    Kind regards
    Martine

    The only potential problem that I see would be if one NLE overwrote the CODEC's supplied by another. As a measure to prevent this possibility, I would reserve the installation of your main NLE to the last. PE (like its "big-brother" PrPro) ships with the MainConcept CODEC's. Because of a naming convention, these are registered as different versions of the MPEG CODEC's (often causing "false-positives" with programs like Sherlock the CODEC Detective and also with G-Spot).
    In the case of my workstation, PrPro was the first NLE (along with WMM) that was installed. All of the rest came afterwards, with no ill-effects. I've even had a few instances, where I had more than one open at the same time, though usually it's only Adobe programs, that are running simultaneously. I also need to point out that with the other NLE's, I have mostly versions that are maybe two back, and not the latest release of these. As they are but minor "tools" in the workflow, I do not feel the need to have the latest versions installed. The full suite of Adobe programs is the exception - though I am still on the CS2 Production Studio.
    Just for general info, take a look at this LINK. It's basically geared towards Adobe Encore, but most of the caveats relate to all Adobe programs, that burn to DVD. I have Nero also installed (plus Gear DVD-Video and ImgBurn), but only the necessary modules - no InCD, and no indexing. This requires a custom installation of Nero, with the packet-writing modules NOT installed. Same for the Nero indexing and "watched folders." I have seen indications that Nero has changed their default installation from a 100% install, to having to pick and choose just what will be installed. This is good, in my book, but I cannot confirm it, as my Nero is a few generations old also.
    One last caveat is to only install CODEC's, when they are necessary. I stay far away from any CODEC "packs," and also attempt to go to the developer for the original CODEC's, even when it means that I will pay for the proper CODEC, rather than get a "free" one. Some free CODEC's work fine, but some are hacked and reverse-engineered versions, that do not play nice with other CODEC's on a system. Going to the paid version of MainConcept, or DivX has always worked perfectly, so I see no reason to go with the free versions. For me, stability is my ultimate goal - I want things to work 100% of the time.
    Good luck,

  • Hardware requirements for Premiere Pro CS5 .versus Premiere Elements 9 ?

    Hi
    I have just started to work in Premiere Elements 9. What should it take to go up one "level" and start using Pro version (CS5) from a hardware performance point of view ?
    Below are my overview specification for the machine I'm using. Will it take more power into consideration ?
    Processor :  Intel Core i7 930, 2,8 Ghz - 4 kernels, 8 logical processors

    What KIND of files are you going to edit?
    Your system should do OK for DV and HDV but "might" struggle a bit with something like AVCHD due to only 6 gig of ram (I know, saying "only" 6 gig sounds odd, but if you go to the Premiere Pro CS5 Benchmark http://ppbm5.com/ page and review results, you will see that some people have 24 gig)
    As far as C drive size, I have Win7 64bit Pro and MS Office full install and CS5 Master Collection and some odds'n'ends, and I only use 50 gig of drive space, with as much as possible in the way of "work" files set to my 2 other drives
    My CS5/AVCHD 1st Impressions http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0 includes a link to the computer I built
    My 3 hard drives are configured as...
    1 - 320G WD Win7 and all programs (50 used)
    2 - 320G WD Win7 swap file and PPro projects
