Premier Elements 11 trial. Playback problems; instability problems

I downloaded the trial version and installed yesterday. My experience so far is as follows:
Video tracks I import (h.264) will play fine (although see below.) Then if I try later they won't: timeline doesn't move, no sound no nothing. No rhyme or reason to it. I've tried deleting the project and all media files from Premier and Elements Organiser and trying again. No luck. Repeat, and this time they work; I presume at some point they will stop. I've had even more trouble getting them to play in the organiser. They have played but now no matter what I do they don't seem to want to: I'd ask if the organiser can play videos or not but I've seen it do it so I know the answer.
Launching Premier Elements may cause iTunes and/or Safari to crash. Or maybe not. Depends upon the mood it's in I guess....
Yesterday, something completely took over the sound output. Couldn't adjust volume, turn off my external speakers or otherwise get sound out. When I pressed the volume up button on my keyboard nothing happened, repeat again, nothing happened. 10 mins later the volume adjustment overlay displayed upping volume by 1 notch! Another 5 mins later the same again! Bizarre. Couldn't find a way to get around it: I could launch programs ok but I couldn't logout. Or Shutdown. Having seen the delay in the volume dialog I decided that maybe it would shut down when it got the chance so I went for dinner. Sure enough, on return it had shutdown.
I have (or at least did have) a stable system before installing this program. It's an iMac on 10.8.3, 32GB RAM and 3.2Ghz 4-core processor.
Another interesting thing it does is with the playback of my clips. These are a slideshow of photos: each photo transitions in over 1.5 secs, stays for 2 secs, then transitions out whilst the next one transitions in. In other words, each photo overlays the previous one and then is displayed for 2 secs. This is how they play in iTunes, on a DVD etc. In Premier, the clips register as the same length but each photo transitions in and immediately transitions out with no 2 second pause. It's as if the transitions have been extended in time so the whole clip remains the same length but consists solely of transitioning images. Why would it interpret the video differently to other applications?
I was hoping to switch to this program because the output from iMovie 11 is really bad for dark areas: extremely pixellated and blocky. The output from Premier doesn't have this but of course the output doesn't play properly so it's a bit moot really.
I could probably live with this, for this one set of clips, if it wasn't for the other instability problems - do others find similar problems?
Regards
Andrew

Thanks ATR - not sure I explained my self properly, but here's some background...
I have a DVD that consists of a slideshow of photos from a window. As above, these seem to transition in over 1 or 1.5 seconds stay for 2 and then the next one transitions in. I've ripped the DVD using handbrake to a H.264 format so I can play on AppleTV (no copyright issues by the way!) The DVD is actually split into 5 titles: 4 of 6 minutes 7 seconds duration and 1 of around 20 seconds duration. In the DVD of course they play continually appearing as a 24 minute 48 seconds.
The intention was to load all 5 clips into Premier on the timeline and create 1 output. That actually works (when it works!) so in some respect I can achieve what I want, except.....
Let's take clip 1. It's 6 mins 7 secs long in iTunes. In iTunes it plays as expected: each photo transitions in for 1.5 secs, sticks for 2 seconds then the next photo transitions in. In Premier, the clip is 6 mins 7 secs long. However, it plays as follows: each photo transitions in then the next photo transitions in without pause. It seems that the transitions have extended in duration to what appears to be 3.5 secs thus there's no clear point where I can see the photo (a split moment when I could press pause is the only possibility.)
So that question was really: why would Premier take a clip that has been copied from DVD, and which iTunes plays the same as the DVD, and play it back differently? I read the thread which was useful in explaining how different programs dealt with transitions whilst building up a video/slideshow - perhaps I misunderstood it.
This isn't the main reason for testing Premier actually. I have a video camera capable of 1080/50p which iMovies can't handle without significant jiggery-pokery. And the exports are just plain rubbish. I've just loaded some clips into the Elements organiser - here's another problem which I'll mention here but for which I'll give more feedback on a separate thread later:
when playing back a clip, the sound will just stop. Video will continue, but no sound. If I pause it, reset the play marker backwards then play sound comes back. It may or may not disappear later in the playback. Either way, in the organiser playing clips either works, doesn't work sometimes (often??), plays with sound, plays some sound then stops.
Sorry...but this seems like a buggy program to me.
Thanks
Andrew

Premier Elements Trial won't run

I successfully downloaded and installed the Premier Elements Trial version. It comes up with the Welcome to Adobe Premier Elements purple screen with Organize, New Project and Open Project buttons. When I select any of these buttons a progress bar comes up for 5-10 seconds then goes away and back to the same screen. Nothing opens.
This is installed on Windows 7 64 bit.

Welcome to the forum.
When a user is experiencing crashes, or hangs, I always recommend this ARTICLE. It starts with tips on setting up one's computer to run PrE best, then moves into a series of links on tuning up one's computer and OS, and finishes with links on troubleshooting, including an important link to Got a Problem - How to Get Started. That linked article lists the types of info, and how/where to find it, to best help others remotely troubleshoot the problem.o
Good luck, and if you have already done everything in the first two parts of the article, please see the link to ... How to Get Started, and post the information, so that we can study that, and perhaps find the problem.
Good luck,

Premier Elements Trial Installation goes into oblivion

Windows 7 64 bit 16 GB memory / Premier Elements Trial Installation goes off into oblivion
I started the installer, ready privacy policy (sort of), chose English, clicked Install. Installer disappears from the screen and the harddrive winks madly for about a half hour. Don't see the program in control panel or installed programs. Re-downloaded, same results.
I've had no installation issues with any other SW including Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS4. What the heck is going on here? - Help appreciated, IM

Troubleshooting installation issues can be a daunting task. Also, most of us on the forum have not had installation issues, so we can only go by what we have read, that has worked for others - little, to no, direct experiences.
Usually, a failure to install is specific to certain aspects, and settings on a particular computer - after one follows the very general guidelines.
If there is a product that is installing and working, that would be a good reason to go with that one, even though it is not from Adobe. Though I have been a big Adobe fan for decades, I still rely on some other programs, that do things that my Adobe suites do not do, or do not do as well. No shame in having a full "toolbox," for when you need something else.
I understand your frustration, and wish that I had some easy "fixes," but after the guidelines in that linked article, things do get very involved.
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt

Video in Elements 8 / Premier Elements Trial 8

So I tried the trial version of Premier Elements 8, using existing video from PS Elements 8. The "Instant Movie" function split all my video into scenes, but I didn't like the resulting movie, and have passed on Premier 8 at this time. Now all my selected videos are still split up into scenes in Elements 8, and stacked like photos! How do I put all the "scenes" back together into one video clip?? Thanks for the help!

To build on Barb's suggestions:
- Be sure to never set the Auto-Analyzer to run automatically (Edit > Preferences > Auto-Analyzer Options > Analyze All Media In Catalog Automatically). It will split your video into scene groups, even if you don't have Premier installed.
- Before deleting and reimporting the video, write down its date/time, because PSE or another program may have changed the video file's date-modified, and PSE will use that date when it reimports the file. You can change the catalog's date of the video using Edit > Adjust Date And Time.

Premier Elements 4.0 Get Media Problems

When I use get media to import a .mpg video file, it only gets part of the file. I'm using Vista on my Dell XPS 420. I have been using Premiere Elements 4.0 for over a year without issue until now. It works fine with Roxio. Any thoughts out there?

This is not from a new source, Sony HDD video camera I have always used. Seems cumbersome to have to convert the files when it always worked in the past as an mpeg. I have checked the camera to make sure that the way it is saving the files as not been changed but there are no such options.

Can't download Premier Elements trial version

The download utility opens, I can sign on, but there is no Premeier Elements anywhere to select. There are other programs, but not this one. What gives?

If it doesn't show up, your system may not support it. Refer to the Tech Specs on the product pages. Otehrwise try this method:

AVI files loaded in Premier Elements 7 only show audio and not video.

I am a new user of Premier Elements 7 and am having problems getting the video into a new project I set up. I have 6 AVI v1.0 clips that play both audio and video in Windows 7, but when I set up a project and import them, I only get the audio side and not the video side. I can drag the audio to the timeline and can play the audio just fine. But it is missing the video. I must be doing something wrong, but am new enough that I don't know where to turn.
I have been reading the forums and taking tutorials, so I think I know the steps to import a video into PRE7. I've tried many things, but still no video. I downloaded GSpot and found that my files have video H264 (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC) and audio oxooo2 (ADPCM). The codecs seem to be installed on my Windows 7 computer.
Can someone point me in the right direction on what to do next. I'm a computer professional with 50 years of experience, so am no dummy, but am new to PRE7. Thanks in advance.

I found a mini-CD that came with the product. When I loaded it on my computer, one of the options was to install a device driver. I did this and now I can see the video in PRE7. So, I think this solves my problem.
I applaud the mfgr. of the Insignia. This is the way that it should be with ALL cameras, that do not use a miniDV tape, or precise CODEC, that is mainstream. All too often, the mfgrs. tweak an existing CODEC, and just leave the customer hanging, trying to find a way to edit the footage. A couple of major mfgrs. come immediately to my mind.
Others, who use CODEC's, like Xvid, that is so heavily compressed, that even converting it to an editable format/CODEC results in such horrible footage, that no one would ever be satisfied with the finished product.
<Soapbox Mode Off>
Glad that you are now up and editing. For my education, what does G-Spot say about the CODEC in the Insignia footage? At least next time that I encounter it, I can say - "look in the box, and install the driver to get the CODEC."
Thanks for reporting,
Hunt

Premier Elements 7.0

I've installed Premier Elements 7.0. No Problem. When I connect my camera to my PC to do video capture it activates the old Premier Elements 4 program. The Read Before Installing file says we can keep old versions loaded but not to run simultaneously. I find no advantage in keeping the old version but I am concerned that by uninstalling it along with Premier Elements 1 that it will affect the operation of Premier Elements 7. Can I safely remove 1 and 4 without damaging Premier Elements 7?

Technically, there is no such thing as an upgrade version of the software, Dr. Even if you bought it for the upgrade price, you got the whole program.
So just re-run the set-up without uninstalling. Once the installation starts up, you'll see the option to run a repair.

First, note that this is a user-to-user forum. If you want to contact Adobe, you'll need to call or write them on their main site.
That said, as the note says at the top of the forum, you're going to have to provide us a lot more information if you want us to help you. "Stopped working" doesn't tell us much. Does this mean that it was working in the past but then stopped? What stopped? What did it do that it's not doing now? What were you doing when it stopped? Was it when you were adding video to your project, for instance?
What operating system are you using? If Windows, have you manually gone to Windows Update and made sure you've got the non-critical updates, which don't download automatically to your system? Have you ensured you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements?
How fast is your processor, how much RAM do you have and how much free, clean, defragmented space is on your hard drive?
What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it? Did you use Premiere Elements to get the video from your camcorder to your Premiere Elements project?

Premier Elements 10 - Organiser will not allow me to move files anymore

I have been using Premier Elements 10 without too many problems but I now have a problem with organiser which is driving me nuts.
For some reason organiser will no longer allow me to move files around in the left hand folder window. I move files to the new folder but the video file does not move.
Not only that but for some reason organiser has taken two videos from each and every folder and added them to the folder below. I have tried refreshing, allowing premier to re import the video files, pressing show all etc etc and nothing seems to work.
OS is windows vista
Has amyone else had this problem and more to the point got it sorted.
Thanks
David

Has no one come across this problem????? Even more frustrating is the fact that now this excuse for editing software will not open any of my projects fully because it has taken it upon itself to mix all my files around and not let me sort them.
ABOBE THIS PIECE OF SOFTWARE IS UTTER CRAP. IT IS FULL OF BUGS.

Stop markers in Premier Elements 11

I am using Premier Elements 11 and tried to write a Blu-Ray disc with a menu and stop markers. The disc works, but the stop markers do not, and the flow does not return to the menu. In the known problems with Premier Elements 10, it says the stop markers do not work on a Blu-Ray disc!! What about Premier Elements 11? Is there a way to make them work?
What about Premier Elements 12, is this conspicuous problem resolved or not?

crankyuser1
Again, no fix to the Blu-ray Stop Marker business as nealeh has opted to confirm in this thread and in the thread of another in which you posted the same question today.
The only menu marker perk that you are going to get moving to Premiere Elements 12 in the allowable number of menu markers which is now 99. If you care to read more about the Timeline menu marker count, please see details in my blog post on the subject

Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

Premier Element 9 cannot find quicktime components

I have this problem that has really been bugging me. I purchased Premier Element 9 so I could edit hd .mov files and export to .mov.
I have installed the software and have made successful movie edits and exported to .avi files. However, if I want to export to .mov I do not ahve the option. It just says: "cannot find quicktime componants" :-( I have the latest quicktime installed and I even have the pro version and quicktime works jsut fine and it's definitely the latest version. Just did an update this morning.
How can I get premier elements fir find the quicktime componants that are already isntalled in my computer?
My computer OS is Windows XP.
I can edit my .mov movies just fine but at present I am stuck with exporting to avi such as I have on this page here:
http://www.spaghettisauceandmeatballs.com/spaghetti_sauce_and_meatballs_videos.html
I'm happy with these but really would like to use the .mov export and maintain my HD quality.
Thanks for the help. Tony

Hunt,
Sorry for being wordy on this but will try to explain my progress or lack thereof.
First, if you launch the premiere elements 9 downloaded.exe file you do not get an option to repair, only "The InstallShield Wizard will allow you to remove adobe Premiere Elements 9."
I went through MANY different scenarios/possible fixes last night, spent a LOT of time on this; too much really.
One thing I noticed was a file association issue with .mov files. So thinking that the .mov file association might be a conflict with the premiere elements .mov export I did the followoing:
I had the .mov files associated with the VLC player (VideoLAN), because that player is 10 X faster and plays everything! Great player! I tried to re-associate .mov file with quuicktime but the icon would not change, however file association was successful, i.e., you double click on a .mov file and quicktime plays the movie. So to make sure I had the quicktime icon associated correctly, I to un-installed the VLC Media Player.
After uninstalling the VLC Player, the windows media player icon showed up in explorer associated with .mov files even though the .mov files are associated with quicktime. Then, even though when you look at the files in explorer and see the windows media player icon for the .mov files, if you double click the .mov file quicktime plays the movie. I did complete reboots after uninstalls as well.
So then I did a repair on Quicktime and the quicken icon association was corrected. I was excited thinking this would do the trick but no such luck. Still no .mov export option. Grrr….
So then I uninstalled and reinstalled quicktime just to see if I needed to install quicktime after the install of premiere elements. But after re-install of quicktime, premiere elements still did not have the .mov export.
Then I started noticing in the upper right of welcome window or premiere that I could see the files that were loading during the launching of premier. Now I know the culprit!
Seems to hang up on ....loading "exportquicktimehost.prm" - then get the error message: “dynamiclinkmanager has encountered a problem and needs to close.", then I click on don't send and I get the error one more time then click on "don't send" again and then premier opens and everything works fine but it just can't export to .mov WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART AND WHY I BOUGHT THE SOFTWARE. UGH! I was getting the “dynamiclinkmanager has encountered a problem and needs to close." Before but I thought that was connected to the organizer and was ignoring it and was not making a connection of that with the .mov export.
You know what’s funny? I researched “dynamiclinkmanager” trying to find out what it is and there are many sites that say it’s a virus and tell you how to remove it but it’s a file create by adobe systems but many see it as a virus. Funny!
So I uninstalled premiere completely and reinstalled, still same problem.
PREMIERE ELEMENTS 9 HANGS UP WHEN TRYING TO LOAD EXPORTQUICKTIMEHOST.PRM.
This is definitely the problem, the program runs smoothly during launch and you can see all the files loading away then it gets to this annoying "exportquicktimehost.prm" file and you can see it hang up on this for a while and then you get the pop up error: "dynamiclinkmanager has encountered a problem and needs to close". Then if you cancle out the error the program runs and all works fine except for the .mov export.
So I did a bunch of searching on this error; seems to be a firewall issue in many cases. Many different adobe products seem to have this problem, not just premiere elements.
My firewall was already turned off. I checked around just to make sure other third party blockers were not the problem. I have Netnanny and webroot spyweeper/antivirus running at all time. I turned these off completely and launched premier elements again but still same problem.
I am at a lost and frustrated. I find myself seriously going through this list of alternative mov video editors
http://video-editing-software-review.toptenreviews.com/ and giving up on premiere completely:
So, any ideas on the "exportquicktimehost.prm" / "dynamiclinkmanager has encountered a problem and needs to close" errors/conflicts?
I guess it’s not time for the wine yet :-(
Thanks, Tony
