PPro to Premiere Elements...

Anyone know - can you open PPro projects in Premiere Elements? I wouldn't think so, but I thought I'd ask to be safe...

Eric,
The best option would be to Export as DV-AVI. Client can bring that into a PE Project and cut away.
Depending on what Client wants to do, you might consider giving them a rough-cut, with Handles on all Clips and no Transitions. That is about as close as one can get - sorry.
As a test for the PE forum, I did manage to get a few simple PREL's to open (with conversion) into PP2, but not all of them. Depending on what was done, the majority of the tests just crashed. Never bothered looking to see what Effects, etc., would translate, as I really did not have a need. Unfortunately, going the other way, just errors out in PE, telling me, "fool, didn't you know this was created in PP? Why don't you just use THAT program - fool !!" Well, maybe that's a slight paraphrase, but you get the idea.

Premiere Elements 9 crashes with multiple NVIDIA graphics cards under Windows 7

I've just installed Premiere Elements 9 and found that it will not run at all with multiple NVIDIA graphics cards active under Windows 7. Per all the other discussions, I updated the NVIDIA drivers and Quicktime support to the latest versions. (NVIDIA version 260.99). I have both a 9400 GT and an 8400 GS installed, to support multiple monitors. They both use the same driver. The PRE 9 organizer will run, but as soon as I create or load a project it quickly crashes.
On a long shot I disabled the 8400 GS card in the Device Manager and now I can run PRE 9. Of course this means giving up one of my monitors. Any other ideas?

Over in the Premiere Pro area (or maybe it was in the Hardware section... didn't pay a lot of attention 'cause it really didn't matter to me) I read a message about using two nVidia cards with no problems (other than no dual-card SLI support)
I **think** that was with two SAME model nVidia cards
And, of course, PPro is completely different code, so PreEl may simply not work with two nVidia cards

Premiere Elements 8 is worse than useless to me

I have to admit, I can't explain why I'm still trying to make Premiere Elements 8 work. I should have given up and moved to another software program by now. I've been on the phone twice with the Customer Service group in India, for over half an hour at a time. Each time they insist they've solved my problem, yet it keeps getting worse. Now, I'm not only having uncontrolled and unexplained system crashes, but hours and hours of work are now corrupted and totally wasted.
Here is a list of the problems I'm having:
1. The primary problem is that Premiere Elements 8 crashes and shuts down in the middle of work with no warning or notice. It happens after about 3-5 minutes of using the software, so I've gotten in the habit of saving my work every time I do anything, no matter how small. Needless to say, you can chart my progress with a sundial. Tedious does not do the process justice.
2. When I save the work, I will get a Project Save Error. It tells me to save to a new location. Of course, it won't let me do that, so I have to exit the program without saving my most recent work. Again, this happens about every 3-5 minutes.
3. Occasionally, when I'm working with a timeline, as I move the cursor up to the menus at the top of the screen, if I am selecting the File or Edit menu, the timeline will scroll left on its own - if I move the cursor off of the Edit or File menu, the scrolling stops.
4. When I am working on a timeline, I will get a "System Memory Running Very Low" warning, along with advice to save immediately and proceed with caution. Of course, when I get that warning, it is already too late, as any attempt to save the work causes the program to crash.
5. Today, we've seen a new thing, and it's completely destroyed two entire projects. When I try to open projects I've previously worked on, large sections of them appear as blood red with the words "Media Offline" in a number of languages. These red sections appear not only on the organizer, but in the timeline as well. It's as if Premiere Elements 8 can't find the media I copied into the timeline even though I've been working on the project for days and have not moved the media from the folder where it always sits.
Saving work after every task - no matter how small - makes doing anything painfully slow and mind-numbingly tedious, but at least it worked - until today. Now, hours and hours of work have been rendered absolutely wasted. I've never encountered a software program with so many fundamental problems. It's almost as if it was created by amateurs. I can honestly say that it does nothing well.
As I said, I've been on the phone twice now with the problem solving group in India, and while they are very nice and courteous, they've done nothing to solve the problems. In fact, the problems have become worse, although I can't say it's because of anything they've done. Both times, they've assured me that they've fixed the problems, and the software works fine while I am on the phone with them - for about 2 or 3 minutes. But then, it works fine for me for the same length of time.
To be honest, I'm not sure why I would call them back. I'll spend an hour clicking on tabs only to be assured that my problems have been solved. Then, 5 minutes later I'm dealing with the same situation - or worse.
I've tried every solution listed on-line for the crashes. I have the 8.01 update, I have the latest video drivers, I've done all of the steps it recommends. Every day that I use the software, it performs worse than the day before.
I'm not sure why I'm writing this - I think I've reached the end of my rope. I doubt these problems can be fixed - maybe I just have a defective copy, who knows. But, I am very close to demanding my money back and saying goodbye to Adobe products for the future.
Thanks for the forum in which to vent.

Video editing & playback issues: Adobe Premiere Elements 8

Hello all,
I have made several attempts at transfering HD video files from my camcorder to my PC and then editing.
When I try to play the transferred file, it is a little choppy and then gets worse as I edit it.
Here are my specs/config:
System:
HP Pavilion a6720y
Windows Vista 64 bit
NVIDIA GeForce GT 440
AMD Phenon 9550 Quad Core 2.2Ghz
6GB RAM
640GB SATA drive, 7200 rpm
Camera:
Sony HDR-XR150
Editing Software:
Adobe Premiere Elements 8
I copy the video files from the camcorder to the computer via USB 2.0.
When I connect the camera directly to the TV the video plays without any issues. So I know the AVCHD files are "good" and I suspect they are also possibly "good" on my hard drive, but just cannot be played or edited appropriately for some reason.
One input I received was that due to the nature of AVCHD files, I should convert the video to "I-frame codec" and then edit. Can Adobe Premiere Elements do this?
Any other thoughts/ideas?
Thanks for any help.

6GB RAM
PE version 8 is 32bit, so is not using all of your ram
640GB SATA drive, 7200 rpm
I edit AVCHD (with PPro) with THREE hard drives
My 3 hard drives are configured as...
1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
2 - 320Gig data for Win7 swap file and video project files
When I create a project on #2 drive, the various work files follow,
so my boot drive is not used for the media cache folder and files
3 - 1Terabyte data for all video files... input & output files (*)
(*) for 4 drives, drive 3 all source files & drive 4 all output files
Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows swap file
http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing

Installing adobe premiere elements 4 and importing video

My Dell laptop will not install Adobe Premiere Elements 4. I keep getting an Error message.
I do have Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 on my computer, but I am unable to import footage from a DVD.
I think because it is in the wrong format and I need to convert it.
To cope with this problem, I tried to install Adobe Premiere Elements 4, but it will not install.
I tried to contact Adobe Tech Support, but Tech support from Adobe is closed.
Even when it opens, I don't know if they will help.
Suggestions? Thanks, Sue

I don't think Tech Support will help with something that old... current is version 10
My GUESS is you have Win7 and version 4 is simply too old

Premiere Elements 10 Error on load - "we have detected an incompatible display driver"

Greetings! I was happily using this software for several weeks without problems when one day for no apparent reason (no new hardware or significant software changes) I now get this error constantly when trying to run the software - "we have detected an incompatible display driver. to get better and faster playback performance, please update your display driver. display driver details : intel - intel bear lake B 1.4.0 - Build 7.15.10.5218"
I then updated the intel graphics drivers to the latest version but to no avail. I have tried four different driver versions from oldest to newest and still no success. I have un-installed the software, drivers, started from fresh with all imaginable combinations, CCleaner-ed the hard drive, virus scanned, defragmented, updated windows, etc. I am now at a loss for what to do next, beyond insisting for a refund and going to another software company for my video editing needs.
My machine is a 2Ghz Dual-Core, 4GB RAM, 80GB available HDD space, running windows XP pro SP3, updated everything drivers and OS.
I find this problem even more confusing given the fact that is was working, then decided not to work any more. Perhaps something updated in the background without my knowledge?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS - I have tried all the things on this list relating to Premiere Elements version 9, but none have helped - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/875/cpsid_87588.html

If none of the troubleshooting for the display adaptor (graphics card driver update, BadDrivres.txt etc.) do not work, we have to understand that the display could actually not be supported. By display, I mean the card-driver-driver version combination. So,
1. It could be a bad card - None of the available drivers work for the application. Here, ditch the card and get a newer one that works.
2. It could be a bad driver - For e.g. Only DirectX drivers work, OpenGL ones could be pathetic (Many games detect this and if this is bad, I have seen Photoshop struggle with this). Or some display configurations would be badly supported (multiple monitors, some funny resolutions, some of the ports, crossfire etc.). Older drivers/cards/some OEM drivers etc. have these issues in my experience.
3. It could be a bad driver version - Here upgrade or a downgrade works.
Because of a Video editor, the (lack of) capabilities of the card is highlighted. Video Playback alone doesn't nearly exercise the capabilities the cards usually have to offer. Editing really does. That is why it matters if the Video Editor actually says that it supports Graphics acceleration (Or GPU acceleration) for any of the workflows.
What I am saying here is that when we blame the application for any of the issues, we have to be certain that the issues are NOT due to one of the mentioned three causes. I have seen this all too often in the gaming forums, Nero forums (some years back), in PPro forum, and here. If the application menufacturer is really to blame, the mistake would be all too obvious and too many of us would have complained about it. I do not think this is the case with Premiere Elements 10.
Introspection works.

Silent Uninstall Premiere Elements 10

Did somebody get managed a silent uninstall of Premiere Elements 10?
As far as I understood I have to deactive the product first before I'll do an uninstall.
Is there a smooth way to automatically deactivate the software?
In enterprise environment (SCCM deploy) Iam not able to do something manually...
The silent installation is pretty simple if you follow the instructions in this article:
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/silent-install-instructions-premiere-elements- 4.html
I searched a lot but I cant find something like that.
Chat- and telephone-support guided me in this forum.
Thanks in advance...

Back at the main page http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere there is a link to the PPro SDK... but I have never seen such for PreElements
I don't work for Adobe, but my GUESS is that PreElements is much more aimed at the home user market, so it is really made for the individual user, not big companies with "central, enterprise" controls

Adobe Premiere Elements 12 video preview choppy

Preview video in Adobe Premiere Elements 12 is choppy and I'm unable to edit with this program. I transfered the video from a DSLR to my hard drive and then added the video from the hard drive to Adobe Premiere Elements. I don't have the same problem editing with Windows Movie Maker. I'm using a Dell Studio 15 laptop with Intel 2-core processor, 4 GB RAM and 500 GB HD. I imported video from the laptop and an external 3 TB HD. I also tried adding clips directly from the camera - a Canon EOS 70D - and it's still choppy and impossible to edit.

>meet the requirements for Adobe Premiere Elements
There have been MANY discussions here, and in the Premiere Pro forum, about Adobe's requirements
The general concensus HERE is that the Adobe marketing people want more people to buy the program, so they list MINIMUM requirements, not EFFECTIVE EDITING requirements

Premiere Elements hangs or crashes when importing .avi files

When making videos, I use .jpg and .avi files, since that's what my digital camera produces. Lately, if I start a new project, I can load the .jpg's, but when I attempt to load a .avi, the program (Premiere Elements 1, Windows XP, sp3) hangs. If I try to reopen an old project (all files are still there in the original locations), it looks like the program is starting to load the files, then I get an error message to the effect that "a serious error has occurred", and the program terminates. These are the same files from the same camera that have always loaded with no problem before.
There have been no hardware changes. The only software changes have been the update to XP (from sp2 to sp3), and periodic (unspecified) automatic software updates. Is Premiere Elements not compatible with sp3, or is something else going on? I need a clue as to where to look.

This is aimed a Premiere Pro, but may help
First, work through all of the steps here http://ppro.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting
If your problem isn't fixed after you follow all of the steps, report back with the DETAILS asked for in the questions at the end of that link
Pay special attention to Question 1 - the Codec used in the file
You say "avi from a digital camera" which usually means it is not DV AVI Type 2 file, but instead is some other compressed type of file hiding in an AVI wrapper
My GUESS would be that some update and messed with your codec entries in the Registry, and the codec you need is no longer properly registered

Premiere Elements Opens and immediately shuts down - How to fix?

I purchased Premiere Elements 8.0 today and the program would crush down immediately after opening.
I did all of the following:
- Uninstall and reinstall the program (3 times) and rebutted the computer every time the new installation took place
- Installed the newest version of QuickTime
- Checked that my home computer is more than compatible with the Premiere Elements system requirements
- uninstalled all previous versions of the software
What else should I be checking?

Premiere Elements 12 vs. Premiere Pro CS6

Hello,
I'd like to know, is Adobe Premiere Elements 12 more user friendly than Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, or does it simply contain less options/functions?
I've been using Sony Vegas Pro for about three years now, and I'd like to make the change to Adobe for quite a number of reasons. I downloaded the free trial of Premiere CS6, but it seems really confusing.
Thanks in advance for your insight.

Well, Premiere Elements has a different forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements?view=discussions so you might ask about "user friendly" over there
But... "user friendly" is determined by the individual... so you might want to give the Premiere Elements 30 day trial a shot

Clips freeze in Premiere Pro but not Premiere Elements

I have downloaded the Creative Cloud trial of Premiere Pro. When I import clips and try to play them within it, the clip plays for the duration of the clip but the picture is frozen. The clips are MP4s and I have tried them in other programs and they work fine so the issue is not with the clips. I have converted them to every format I can think of but nothing works in Premiere Pro. The clips will play in the trial version of Premiere Elements, and Microsoft Movie Maker, just not in the trial version of Premiere Pro. I'm on Windows 8 on a brand new PC with Intel® HD Graphics 4400, 1TB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive, 8GB 2 DIMM (2x4GB) DDR3L 1600Mhz memory. The other weird thing is I put together a couple of the frozen clips and then saved them out as a movie, and in the movie the clips were moving even though in Premiere they were frozen. It's some kind of playback issue in Premiere Pro alone. Any ideas why the videos are frozen and won't play? Thanks!
