Premier Elements 12 - System Requirements

My laptop has an Intel® Pentium® 2117U with Intel HD Graphics (1.8 GHz, 2 MB cache, 2 cores) processor. Is this enough to run Premier Elements 12? I know the system requirements are for 2.0 GHz but does the dual core make a difference?

I agree with John. Your specs look very light to me. But it's worth a test drive with your particular video!

Scanning photos and Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 system requirements

Hello all-
A long, involved question here, so bear with me.
I have a Power Mac G4, still working fine even though it's almost 8 years old.
I want to scan a number of photos for use in a Final Cut Pro 5 project. (I have an Epson Workforce 610 all-in-one scanner). If I understand correctly, the scanner will scan in square pixels, which is no good for video, so I will need to re-save the images in non-square pixels (or rectangular pixels with an 0.9 PAR?). I will also probably want to touch up/re-size a number of the image stills.
It seems to me that I could do this in Adobe Photoshop Elements, only my G4 doesn't have the necessary system requirements. Elements 9 needs a higher operating system, which I can't get because my G4 doesn't have an Intel processor. A side issue is that I also don't have a very large hard drive since the computer is so old (75 GB, about 15 GB free). But I plan to alter the images and then save them to an external drive which has plenty of space.
What to do? I have I-photo '09, but that doesn't seem to have the same functionality as Photoshop Elements 9. Should I try to get an old version of Elements on ebay? Do past versions of Elements have the option of converting from square to non-square pixels? Will past versions of Elements even work on my G4? (I read something which suggested that really old versions, like Elements 2, might not).
Any other options? (Short of buying a new computer, which I don't really want to do).
Thoughts? Advice?
Thanks in advance for any and all help. I'm going to post this in a couple of different forums since I'm not exactly sure where the right place to ask this question is.

Hi there,
I've read it can be done in FCP, perhaps an older version of that.
What speed is your G4?
Have you tried it in iMovie 06 HD?
I wonder if GraphicConverter can do it...

Photoshop Elements 12 system requirements

I'm thinking of buying Elements 12 but the system requirements for mac OSX is 10.7 or higher. I have mac OSX 10.6.8 so I shouldn't be able to use this version, should I?
I've downloaded the trial version and it's running fine but does that mean the full version will run just as well also?

You could also upgrade to mavericks 10.9 for free if your mac meets the necessary system requirements.
OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
Just keep in mind that if you have any applications that require Rosetta to run, you won't be able to use them on mavericks.
When I had pse 12 on snow leopard, I was able to update the camera raw plugin using Help>Updates, but only up to camera raw 8.3
(camera raw 8.5 is the most recent version for pse 12, but won't work on snow leopard)

What computer or capability do I need for Premier elements 11?

I find that my Dell Studio 1555 becomes jerky or stops and starts when in the editing mode of premier elements. Its a 2Ghz, 4 GB machine. I'm not sure where the limitation exist. ie: memory, video card, the software itself? The Dell 1555 has no problem when streaming from youtube or from netflix etc. It only happens when using video editing software.
My question is, If it is the computer then what computer or specification do I need to keep the video from being jerky during editing playback.
If you can suggest some guidance I would appreciate it.
Thanks,

The requirements by Adobe are:

Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Elements to shut down.

I have Adobe Premier Elements 7. When I launch the application then try to begin using it an error is presented which advises Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project. When I click OK the program shuts down. I have tried fixes I have found on the Forum. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the program.

From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
•(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.0.1 update).
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.9.4"---not just "Mac"
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.

How do I overcome the error 7 during Premier Elements 13 install? "cannot install on 64-bit system"

I purchased and downloaded Adobe Premier Elements 13 and when I try to install the program I get error code 7 that it cannot install on 64-bit system. However the system requirements for the program says it is supported on windows 8; 64-bit.

Premier Elements wont open or work on Windows 8 64bit operating system.

I have a windows 8 64 bit operating system. I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Adobe Premier Elements 12 and downloaded the 64bit operating software. This is the 2nd computer I've installed the software on as I upgraded to a better computer. Photoshop works just fine however, Premier Elements will not open on this computer. Every time I attempt to open it a prompt to login within 12 days or I will no longer have access appears. I login with my adobe username and password which are the same for when I downloaded the software in 2013. I uninstalled and re-installed Premier Elements and still have the same issue. Upon re-install I was able to enter the serial number, but this still did not fix it. I can't get Premier to run and need help figuring out the problem. Has this happened to others and what's the solution if so? Thank you

I did not see your post 4 until after I had posted just now.
That is one of the drawbacks related to purchasing Premiere Elements as a download from Adobe...the download is specific to the Windows or Mac operating system to which it is downloaded. So all you have purchased that way are the installation files and a serial number for Premiere Elements 12 Windows. If you had purchased Premiere Elements 12 in the box packaging, that comes with a disc for Windows and a disc for Mac.
How long ago did you purchase Premiere Elements 12 Windows? If within 30 days of purchase, you can look into a 30 day money back from Adobe. But you cannot purchase the box packaging from Adobe. It only offers the download purchase from it. You would have to buy from an authorized reseller if you wanted the boxed purchase.
The way it is now, you will need to purchase new installation files and serial number for Premiere Elements 12 for your iMac.
That is the situation that I believe exists. More information if needed.

I use the operating system Mac os x 10.10.2 and would like me like to purchase Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 am with but not sure because is specified in the system requirement only os x 10.9. Can you help me?

I use the operating system Mac os x 10.10.2 and would like me like to purchase Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 am with but not sure because is specified in the system requirement only os x 10.9. Can you help me?

Yes, it works. Download the trial and see for yourself. Adobe never updates the system requirements after any version is released, so that is what was available last Sept. when PSE 13 was released.

Photoshop Elements 11 hard drive space system requirement?

I have a macbook pro with 4gb of memory in the hard-drive. I wanted to get photoshop elements 11 but the system requirements includes 4gb of hard-drive. Because some of my memory has been used up, does that mean I can not install photoshop elements 11 in my computer?

Just to get the terminology clear: you're not mixing RAM specs with hard drive space, are you?
Photoshop Elements 11 requires 1 GB of RAM and 4GB of hard drive space
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/release-note/photoshop-elements-11-release-notes .html#main-pars_header_0
MacBook Pros come with 8GB of system RAM. Older models had 4GB of RAM. Plenty for PSE11 or PSE12.
http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
Hard drives are usually are 128GB or 256GB or 512GB or higher. Again, plenty for PSE11 or PSE12.
What are the exact specs (RAM and hard drive storage) of your MacBook Pro and how much hard drive space do you have free?
Plus, bear in mind that Photoshop Elements 12 was released in late September and is now the current version. Adobe no longer sells PSE 11.

Is Adobe Premier Elements 11 Compatible with Apple Mavericks Operating System?

I am considering upgrading to the Mavericks operating system on my iMac computer, but before I do, I want to make sure that Premier Elements 11 is compatible with the operating system and will run properly. Anyone have any experience.

Sandeep
In your answer to RogerD12, you wrote
Yes, Premiere Elements 11 is compatible with Apple Mavericks 10.9
Is that answer dependent on where Premiere Elements 11 Mac was purchased? Specifically, does your reply apply to
Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Editor (purchased from Mac App Store)
and
Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Quick Editor (purchased from Mac App Store
as well as
Premiere Elements 11 Mac (purchased from Adobe)?
Thanks.

Elements 6 for Mac - System Requirements

I currently have a Power PC Mac (OSX 10.4.11) on which I run Elements 4 for Mac.
I have on order an Intel Core 2 Duo Mac which will have OSX 10.5.5.
Elements 4 will not run on the Intel Core 2 Duo Mac because it appears to be for Power PC Macs only.
The System Requirements for Elements 6 appears to indicate that it will only run on OS 10.4.8 through 10.5.2.
Unless I am missing something fundamental it appears that there is no version of Elements which I will be able to run on my new Mac computer.It seems strange that the latest incarnation of Elements for Mac will not run on the latest operating system.
Am I understanding the position correctly ?
D J Hales (UK)

I have installed PSE 6 on my mac with 10.5.6. I installed on the admin account and it works fine on that account, however, it does not work completely on the primary account - the effects, themes, layouts, etc. do not appear on the left hand side, just the boxes for them. Any ideas? I did uninstall and reinstall on the primary account, still no success.
Thanks. S. Dobe

Any chance to have a working system with Premier Elements?

I've tried a good number of different video editors for HD video editing and they all lack certain features here and there that I find necessary for myself. I don't want anything out of this world, just a good, solid performance combined, ease of use, easy video clip import, good image quality from rendering and - that's it. Nothing special. No fireworks, do dancing girls... Now, out of all the programs Premier Elements seemed to be very good, BUT it lacked the stability. Big time... Once I was working with that, the program just kept on crashing. Even if it would crash only once every 30 minutes, I could have taken that, but no... Had to be every second minute...
But, that was still with Windows Vista, and I blame Vista for much of the problems. I've upgraded - with blood, toil, sweat and tears, to Windows 7, which already has proven to be much, much more stable than Vista. So, the question is that do I have a chance to have a working solution with Premier Elements and Windows 7, running with multicore processor and 8 Gb of memory and soon with dedicated HD's for operating system and program files, video files and intermediate working storage? Will my dream ever come true?

Welcome to the forum.
It is possible, as many here report great success running PrE 8 on many different systems. Probably the biggest consideration is the optimization of one's hardware and their OS. This ARTICLE will offer a few tips on the software end of things, and for Win7, be sure to look down the thread and see Black Viper's optimization page.
Good luck,

Premier Elements 13 Organizer Works. Editor doesn't. Log in doesn't work

I downloaded and installed Premier Elements 13 last night. In using it today, Organizer works, but when I select Editor, I am required to log in to my account to activate it. When I do so, then I eventually reach the agreement to terms page, accept it but Editor still doesn't work. Contacted Chat and had an extremely humourous but extremely frustrating chat before the chat stopped working (??????) Here is a copy and paste of the chat up until Chat stopped working:
Here is my chat at the last point I saved a copy......
Thank you for contacting Adobe.
A representative will be with you shortly.

You are now chatting with Amit Kumar.
Amit Kumar: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
Gordon Stogre: I tried the forums but no one had replied for the last 2 hours. Experts must be on vacation.
Gordon Stogre: Hello Amit. Are you there?
Amit Kumar: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=premiere_elements&loc=us
Gordon Stogre: Do you want me to click on that link?
Amit Kumar: Yes
Gordon Stogre: Why?
Amit Kumar: Download it again from this link.
Gordon Stogre: I've already downloaded and set up Premier Elements 13.
Gordon Stogre: That was last night
Gordon Stogre: Why?
Amit Kumar: Download and install itagain from this link.
Gordon Stogre: It took about 2 hours to set it up on a fast internet connection
Gordon Stogre: Why should I have to do it again. It is already set up and installed.
Gordon Stogre: The problem is with the Editor. The Organizer works correctly.
Amit Kumar: There is some issue with the software.
Gordon Stogre: What is the issue. Please explain
Amit Kumar: Some files did not download that's why it is not working.
Gordon Stogre: Are you saying that the Adobe file download is faulty?
Amit Kumar: Yes
Gordon Stogre: Everything downloaded correctly and it installed correctly
Amit Kumar: Ok
Amit Kumar: One moment while I transfer you to the specialist that can assist you.
Gordon Stogre: I want a refund on what I paid for Premier 13. This is ludicrous that I should have to spend this much of my time downloading and installing.. I want it free now.
Gordon Stogre: This is absolutely ridiculous that Adobe uploaded a faulty software. My time is extremely valuable.
Amit Kumar: I have arranged refund for this product.
Gordon Stogre: I have spent a total of 6.5 hours downloading, setting up and installing and then trying to get it working.
Gordon Stogre: But I still want to use this product with the properly working software. Is my licence still valid if I download and reinstall it?
Amit Kumar: I have arranged refund for this product now.
Gordon Stogre: WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO USE IT ????
Gordon Stogre: Will my licence that I purchased for Premier Elements 13 still be valid???
Gordon Stogre: I want to use it but am very frustrated and annoyed by the problem.
Amit Kumar: You will not be able to use it.
Gordon Stogre: I NEED TO USE IT !!!
Gordon Stogre: Do you understand?
Gordon Stogre: I want a refund and an operating version of Premier 13.
Amit Kumar: But I have arranged refund for this product now.
Gordon Stogre: Please escalate this to your supervisor if you are not able to do this.
Gordon Stogre: Or I will publish this all over internet
Amit Kumar: Would you mind waiting for 2 - 3 minutes while I research on this issue?
Gordon Stogre: I will wait
Gordon Stogre: 6:13 local time now. About 9 minutes since you asked me to wait...............
This continued on until 6:39 when the supervisor told me he was transferring it to "the group that could help me with this issue" Then the chat shut down.

At the forum level, there is no instantaneous reply. And, there is no "how long before I get someone to post in my thread" expectation.
This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. Although I personally try to see that every thread has a viable reply before the end of the day, there are no guarantee how long it will take for a thread to be answered with some information that may actually help you resolve your particular issue. I am not affiliated with Adobe in anyway. Just a user with an overactive troubleshooting gene.
From what you wrote, you no longer have a purchased product. You demanded your money back from Adobe via its Adobe Chat, and you got what you demanded, that is, your money back request put into action. So, I am not sure what you are left to work with.
If you purchased from an online download from Adobe and the install apparently did not take, then it is not unreasonable to be asked to uninstall/reinstall the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled. That may or may not help. There are certain troubleshooting drills that need to be followed as one systematically goes through the progress of ruling factors in or out of the problem equation.
Part of the drill might have included:
a. What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
b. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus installed?
c. Are you running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges and with Run As Administrator applied to the desktop icon?
d. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card? How many video cards/graphics cards does your computer use, 1 or 2?
e. Is your computer connected to the Internet?
f. Is the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 13?
g. Other
But, none of the above is going to be of use if you do not have a purchased copy of Premiere Elements 13 to work with. You need to sort out your Adobe situation with Adobe.
We will be watching for your progress. We want you to succeed.
