Premier Elements 12 zoom vs crop

On some clips the default pan and zoom tool does a pan and zoom, but on other clips it does a crop and pan (without me changing anything).  I don't want the crop... I want it tpo zoom and pan all the time for this project.  I've right clicked everywhere I can think of and don't come up with a settings menu.  Is there a settings menu other than via the Applied Effect toggle (which doesn't have a setting I can see for this cropping issue).
Also, when I've created a sequence of focus frames, I can access the marker in the in the timeline to move the focus frame.  When I click on a marker it jumps the CTI to that spot, but doesn't allow me to grab the marker.  Is there a setting I'm missing, or is there another way to move the marker.

Premier Elements 12 zoom vs crop
created by A.T. Romano in Premiere Elements - View the full discussionastrofun I have not finished by testing on the issue that you present. I created an 4K video so that I would work through the details that you are presenting. In spite of these  zoom and crop that you feel are occurring randomly and for which you seek an explanation, are you getting the wanted pan and zoom effects when the video returns to the Expert workspace Timeline from the Pan and Zoom workspace. I am suspecting that this zoom and crop that you are seeing is solely in the Pan and Zoom workspace and are reflecting the mechanics of your establishment of the focus frames as you move the Timeline Indicator from the first focus frame  (first frame of the video) from left to right.  Not exactly sure what you mean!  
   - I highlight my clip, then open Pan and Zoom tool
   - When opened, the tool has 2 focus frames marked... one at each end of the clip.  I am not able to grab the marker and move either of these on the timeline (or any subsequent time frames).  Once I create a frame its there... I can't mover it by the marker (as soon as I click on the marker the CTI comes to that spot, and I can't get to a menu or screen change when I click on the pan duration
   - What I have been doing is deleting the default focus frame #2, moving my CTI to the place where I want a pan to stop, and inserting a new focus frame, then size and locate it on my image.
   - Follow this exact procerdiure and on some clips I get a zoom with the whole frame filling the screen, and on some clips I get a crop with only part of the screen being filled.  
 I will try to post some screenshots in the morning to show you were my thinking went on that. ATR If the reply above answers your question, please take a moment to mark this answer as correct by visiting: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7038598#7038598 and clicking ‘Correct’ below the answer Replies to this message go to everyone subscribed to this thread, not directly to the person who posted the message.

  • Premier Elements vs. Pro for Pan and Zoom Photo Slide Shows

    I am a professional architectural photographer. I need to create videos using a set of photos, and I need the ability to pan and zoom to specific parts of each photo.  I need to be able to tell the software where to pan from and to, and where to zoom in or out.  For example, I might start at the left side of a photo, pan toward the left side of the photo, then stop panning and zoom in.  I need to control the speed of the pan and zoom, and control where they happen within each photo.  I will not be dealing with video, only still photos.
    I have seen a video demonstrating this capability in in Premier Pro.  Can it also be done in Premier Elements?

    rvomund
    Please check out the Adobe document on it Pan and Zoom Tool and that feature's workspace
    http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/pan-zoom-create-video-like.html
    There is a difference using this tool for video versus stills. And, since you mention that you will be using just stills, I have
    not gone into pan and zoom applied to video with this tool.
    Please review and consider. If questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Before any purchase decisions, good idea to look at the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe.

    Is this possible?
    Any input is appreciated! Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Your thoughts on frame by frame viewing are can do. However, the real time playback feature includes the concept of rendering the Timeline, when the program indicates the need to do so,  to get the best possible preview of what you are seeing in the Edit area monitor. That is a major novel in itself. Each time you do a new edit you will get the render indicator message to ignore or act on.
    Definitely go the free 30 day tryout route for Premiere Elements 12. I have Premiere Elements 12 (updated to 12.1) and it runs fine on Windows 8.1 64 bit.

  • Using Text in Premier Elements

    I am using a trial version of Premier Elements to see if I want to buy it.  I really want to create slide show with captions and sounds.  Premier seemed like something I should look into, and there are sound affects, etc.  However, I don't see a way to type text as in a caption on a picture. 
    I may be better served with a slide show presentation but each one is missing something important, which is what led me to Premier Elements.  I don't want to make movies.  I just want to string photos together in a cohesive presentation with text and music or sound affects.
    Thank you,
    Pam Barkas

    First, remember that Premiere Elements is a video editor. So it will create slideshows for DVD or BluRay -- but at video resolution (720x480 and 1920x1080 pixels, respectively). So if you're looking for high-quality, high-resolution software for creating slideshows, you might be better off looking into a program like Pro Show Gold.
    But if you are trying to create videos with still photos in them, Premiere Elements can certainly do it. And you can certainly add titles or captions to each photo simply by selecting a title template from the Titles & Text panel.
    A companion program called the Organizer is also included with Premiere Elements, and it includes a dedicated Slideshow Creator (under its Create menu) which lets you add captions to your slides one photo at a time, arrange your slide order, add transitions and pan & zooms between slides and add narration and music.

  • Using Adobe Premier Elements to create a video using the photos and it is make the photos blurry. Is there a setting to correct this?

    as the subject states, i am suing Premier Elements pro to create a video using photos. The photos are clear then when you play the video they become blurry. I would guess there would be a way to correct this but not having much success. any helps would be great.

    Iltowman
    Thanks for the follow up. Right now I see details that do need addressing. For one, you are importing 3:2 photos into a project set for 16:9.
    You still have not told us what version of Premiere Elements that you are using and on what computer operating system it is running. For now I will assume, Premiere Elements 13/13.1 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. NTSC setup.
    Please try the following as a mini test run (just a few of your photos) to determine if the Timeline photos present better in the Edit area and in an export.
    1. Open Premiere Elements 13/13.1 to the Expert workspace and go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
    2. In Change Settings, change the settings to
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR [email protected]
    OK out of there.
    3. In the New Project Dialog that now opens, rename the project and make sure that you have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting on This Project. OK out of there.
    4. Back in the Export workspace, import your photos using Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Projects Assets from where you drag the photos to the Timeline. There will be an orange line over the Timeline content. Press the Enter key of the computer main keyboard. or the Render button above the Timeline to do Timeline rendering which will result in the best possible preview in the Edit area monitor.
    Also, right click the Edit area monitor, select Playback Quality, and then determine if the "Highest" gives better results than "Automatic".
    If all looks good, then let us look at the quality of a AVCHD.mp4 export of that Timeline....
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30.
    Is the quality of the photos in this mini test run better, the same, or worse?
    About your photos (3872 x 2592 3:2)...video is 4:3 or 16:9. So to avoid black borders, you could consider
    a. cropping the originals from 3:2 to 16:9 before import
    or
    b. importing them as is and doing any needed scaling in the Edit area monitor
    But, right now the focus is on image clarity rather than black borders.
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • Importing from LR5 to Premier Elements 13

    Sorry, I did not see a forum for Premier 13, so I posted here. I figure if you know Premier Pro, you probably can answer this question.
    When I import a still from LR5 with edits, it seems to be imported without the edits. How do I get the photo imported with edits?
    Also, must I resize the photo for best quality in Premier Elements 13 before I import it???

    StevenNG wrote:
    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I understand that edited data in LR5 is stored as a set of directions maintained in the catalog. Is this the "sidecar" you speak of?
    All of my edited photos, whether edited with LR5, Photoshop, or any of my other plug in programs, look great. So, presumably the data is being properly stored in the catalog.
    OK. So, you say that PrE won't see this data. I understand, although it makes no sense as these are Adobe products, and should work seamlessly. Be that as it may, I need to get edited photos into PrE.
    When I right click on the photo and choose export, there is no option to "Export to PrE". I'm not even sure you are saying I should EXPORT photos to PrE. I thought I IMPORT photos via the Organizer, which is what I am doing. And, as you said, PrE is not "seeing" my edits.
    Also, still getting the black bars on right and left side. I will look over what ATR sent, and see if that resolves any issues.
    Thanks.

    "Is this the "sidecar" you speak of?"
    No.  Lightroom normally saves all the work you do in what Adobe calls a "catalog" file.  On a PC it ends in ".lrcat".  The work pattern for photographers that do not use Lightroom, use Photoshop instead and elect to use RAW formats end up processing their files through Adobe Camera Raw or "ACR".  In that case, the adjustments are not saved in the original file, but a "sidecar" file of the same filename, but with the extension of ".xmp".  For some, like a pro that is sending a RAW image file through the internet to a client, the pro's work will go with it in the .xmp file.  To make it work a little better for some, Lightroom can make use of the .xmp file. 
    "All of my edited photos, whether edited with LR5, Photoshop, or any of my other plug in programs, look great. So, presumably the data is being properly stored in the catalog."
    Of course they look good.  In Photoshop, you can make your changes, including plug-in changes, and they will disappear if you don't do a "Save" or "Save as..."  If you start in Lightroom and want to edit in Photoshop (with plug-ins) you have choices in the "Edit in" dialog for working on copies or originals.  Most don't like altering their originals so usually pick "Edit copy with Lightroom adjustments".   When you end the Photoshop and Lightroom work, if set up right, it comes back to Lightroom when you Save and exit in Photoshop.  It should be the third iteration:  Orginial, copy to Photoshop and image back from Photoshop. 
    "Be that as it may, I need to get edited photos into PrE."
    I won't defend or explain Adobe's ideas of how things should work, but there is no "Export to.." or "Edit in.." process for directly going to any video editor, including PrE.  The logic is different for video editing.  But there are several ways getting still photos to PrE.  Once you do all your work in Photoshop, plug-ins and Lightroom, the finished product is saved somewhere where you put it.  If the image has extra Lightroom work, you have to "Export" a final/finished product.  There is no "Save" in Lightroom.   Skip Organizer and go direct to PrE and follow the "Add Media > From Files or Folders" sequence.  I do it in batches with copies for speed and convenience.  I can explain that more if you want.
    "Also, still getting the black bars on right and left side"
    That is a function of mismatch between what cameras, TVs and video project think make the perfect rectangle.  Our expectation now is that TV's are widescreen in a ratio of 1920x1080 or 16x9.  To get your your stills to match, it has to be cropped to that ratio.  Re-sizing is a different process where an image of a few thousand pixels up and down can be reduced to fewer pixels.  It can be used in ways to re-size to a ratio that fits, but it is not the same as having control in cropping.   I find it better to do the cropping with the Crop tool in the Lightroom Develop module and I ignore re-sizing.   I often go a step further and make sure my camera is set to take photos at 16x9.
    I'm going to be away from this until much later, maybe tomorrow.  If you want to continue with the Lightroom to PrE flow, it is what I do all the time for both photos and videos.  I use Photshop Elements, Topaz and Nik plug-ins.  It is a delightful system.  My usual output is for Vimeo and I can show you some examples.  I've worked out a pattern where everything starts in Lightroom and works through PrE. 
    The next step for me would be to understand what you intend to deliver your project to.  A TV, YouTube, DVD, iPad or what?  Then perhaps we can get a project set up that will accommodate that, fill it with photos and get something done. 
    If you're serious, I would be looking at tutorials here:

  • How to import a jpeg image into premier elements 12?

    how do  i import a jpeg image into premier elements 12?

    chuckx
    Just for background information, what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
    The generalized answer is Add Media/Files and Folders/Projects Assets from where you drag the photo to the Expert view Timeline.
    But all that can generate a mountain of questions about the photo and the project into which it will be going
    a. what are the pixel dimensions of the photo - will or will I not have to resize or crop/resize the photo for the project
    b. is the photo going into a project that will consist of photos and videos
    c. if video inclusion, that leads to questions about the properties of the video so that you can set the project preset to match those
    d. that leads to questions on the best size to have your photo before you import them into this project.
    So, one simple question generates a lot of side questions.
    Please let us know how we might help to sort out the details for your Premiere Elements workflow and its source media.
    Thank you.

  • PSD files into Premier Elements?

    I have used Photohop Elements for years. I am familiar with it, do I need to resize a PSD file before taking it into Premier Elements to add to a video project?

    Lavona
    What is the size of your scrapbook page in Photoshop Elements 12 - 12 inches by 12 inches document. If so, we need to know the pixel dimensions for the scrapbook page (width and height in pixels). Inches have no meaning in video. Does your plan include any possibilities for a 4:3 or 16:9 scrapbook page?
    What is your intended export for your Timeline content - burn to disc (DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc, AVCHD on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc OR file saved to the computer hard drive in a video format?
    Video is typically 4:3 or 16:9 in constrast to what you may have, that is, 12 inches x 12 inches at 300 pixels/inch which would be 3600 x 3600 pixels. And, one usually sets the project preset to match the properties of the source media. There is no project preset to match those dimensions.
    Is your project going to consist of only these scrapbook pages? If so, the following should be noted.
    All Premiere Elements projects have to have a project preset. The default for Premiere Elements 12 is NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 (1920 x 1080 pixels) or its PAL counterpart. If there is no project preset to match the properties of your source, then you could end up with your image with black borders. (The black borders could be filled in by placing a background on Video 1 and your scrapbook page of Video 2 directly above that background on Video 1. In that way, the background would show through the black (transparency) areas in the scrapbook).
    However...
    There is a preference which lets you direct the program to import the source (your scrapbook page) and automatically scale it to the frame size of the project preset. This is the case that I described above. But the preferences can also be set to disable this option called "Default Scale to Frame Size". In your case, what you will see with this option disabled, is your image zoomed in the Edit area monitor. Then you can scale it down to fit the space provided for it in the Edit area monitor. This would cut off some of your page. You could decide what you wanted shown. And, if you scale to fit it all into the frame, black borders.
    Now if the situation were that you had video sources and wanted to include your scrapbook pages in the presentation, then I would set the project preset to match the video properties and then fit the scrapbook pages to that project preset. Filling in some more details would allow me to fine tune.
    But, back to your original question of sizing of those .psd scrapbook pages....which are probably 3600 x 3600. I suspect that the practical answer is going to be import them as is and let the program resize, allowing for black borders to be filled in my a background of some sorts. But, how many of those 3600 x 3600 pixels you can import without stressing out the project will depend on your computer resources and just how many of these scrapbook pages are to be used.
    The above is my take on the details that you have described thus far.
    Please review and consider and then let me know if you have questions or need clarification.
    Thanks.

  • Quality problems when burning a dvd with Premier Elements 11

    I purchased a while ago, but just recently installed Premier Elements 11.  I previously had 9 and 10.  11 was great until I burned to a disc.  The quality is very substandard. Have you come up with a fix for this?  I have read many other complaints about the quality of burning.
    Until I can get a fix, I have uninstalled 11 and gone back to version 10.

    Thanks for reporting on your results. Much appreciated.
    Do you have the opportunity to record 1080p instead of 1080i? If so, we would be interested in the results. But, for now, just some miscellaneous comments.
    1. What are you using to apply the pan and zoom effect?
    Pan and Zoom Tool
    Keyframing of the Motion Position property for Pan and Motion Scale property for Zoom
    Presets under fx Effect/Presets for pan or zoom.
    Are you applying the same pan and zoom effect to each of the photos?
    If so (an not using the Pan and Zoom Tool),
    Pan and zoom one photo, then copy/paste effects and adjustments for a group selection of the rest.
    If using the Pan and Zoom Tool, then consider
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Pan & Zoom Tool, More Than One Photo at a Time
         This is acceptable for a few photos, but the increased duration that it will add to the Timeline content may make it prohibitive.
    We are not Adobe here. Rather user to user. We are all visitors here. But, please let me know if you have any additional questions or
    need clarification on anything that I have written.

  • Automatically zoom and crop an image to fit in a square

    I've got an mx:Image which is loading an image from the web.  I don't know how big the image will be in advance.  I'd like the loaded image to fit within the mx:Image's square frame by zooming and cropping off the sides or top/bottom as needed.  In other words, if the image frame is 64x64 and the loaded image is 70x64, it will be centered and lose a few pixels on the right and left sides.  Is it possible to do automatically?  I've played with maintainAspectRatio and scaleContent but I haven't been able to get what I want.

    In an ideal world we would use a high resolution version with a 100% width set for every device (and screen size). Because of bandwidth reasons, the page should load only a version of the image intended for a specific width range.
    Sometime in the future we will (probably) be able to use this:
    <picture width="500" height="500">
       <source media="(min-width: 45em)" src="large.jpg">
       <source media="(min-width: 18em)" src="med.jpg">
       <source src="small.jpg">
       <img src="small.jpg" alt="">
       <p>Accessible text</p>
    </picture>
    However, this will not yet work. Therefore, ideally, a polyfill picturefill method that works quite well can alternatively be used:
    https://github.com/scottjehl/picturefill
    Solution:
    Call the picturefill.js (see above url for more information and sample code)
    body:
    <span data-picture data-alt="A giant stone face at The Bayon temple in Angkor Thom, Cambodia">
            <span data-src="small.jpg"></span>
            <span data-src="medium.jpg"     data-media="(min-width: 400px)"></span>
            <span data-src="large.jpg"      data-media="(min-width: 800px)"></span>
            <span data-src="extralarge.jpg" data-media="(min-width: 1000px)"></span>
            <!-- Fallback content for non-JS browsers. Same img src as the initial, unqualified source element. -->
            <noscript>
                <img src="external/imgs/small.jpg" alt="A giant stone face at The Bayon temple in Angkor Thom, Cambodia">
            </noscript>
        </span>
    This works in all browsers and devices. On a mobile platform only the lower resolution image will be loaded up.

  • Sharing to Disc Tab freezes in Premier Elements 9

    I last created a movie in Elements 9 in March.   Since then I have installed a number of programmes (none access the dvds), but also Windows 7 Service pack 1.
    I went to create a movie today, elements worked fine until I got to the Sharing Section.  All the tabs work here except for the disc tab (sharing to DVD or Blu-ray), when I click on this tab, the screen freezes and Windows task manager tells me elements is not responding.
    I have tried restoring my computer to pre-service pack 1, but it won't go back that far.
    So I read through Adobe's Q&As checked out the trouble shooter (even refreshed the DVD drivers), removing & reinstalling premier Elements, but all to no avail.
    Can anyone help please?
    I'm running Win 7 Professional, 64Bit, Service Pack 1, on an Intel i7, with 12GB RAM.
    Thanks

    Martyn,
    Hey, a project to keep you inside, and out of the rain.
    After that initial checklist, I'd go link by link, and see if there is anything of use in each. Work towards the "Finding Clues," and by then, you should have some idea what is happening, and then we can explore the why. When you get to the Event Viewer (in Finding Clues), do not be overwhelmed, or put off, if you see a bunch of Warning, or Error messages that are just gobbelygook. No one knows what that "stuff" is, BUT for every message with real text (read that), or a link, follow those links, and give the MS server time to display that page - depending on the link, that might take a few moments.
    If you are not getting Warning, or Error messages, when PrE hangs/crashes, then explore the regular messages, to see if something else is being called at that moment. Each event is logged. I have seen Internet connections, anti-virus software, or even the clock's sync, crop up, at just the wrong time, and hang a program. Usually, however, there will be System, or Application Warning, or Error messages associated with the hangs/crashes.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - get that rain over with, as I will be in London at the end of October for a week!

  • Why does Premier elements keep stopping working?

    Premier elements keeps shutting down with a message saying that it has stopped working and will find asolution to the problem on line but it never connects with anything nor does it provide any answers.

    Garth,
    What has happened is that recently, some camera mfgrs. have broken from long-established "standards," regarding their video output. We see more of this with less-expensive stills cameras, that also shoot video.
    For decades, the standards for SD (Standard Definition) Video has been:
    NTSC:
    720 x 480 Standard 4:3 with a PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) of 0.9 (pixels are taller, than wide).
    720 x 480 Widescreen 16:9 with a PAR of 1.2 (pixels are wider, than tall).
    PAL:
    720 x 576 Standard 4:3 with a PAR of 1.06 (pixels are wider, than tall, but not by much).
    720 x 576 Widescreen 16:9 with a PAR of 1.422 (pixels are wider, than tall).
    768 x 576 Square Pixel w/ a PAR of 1.00
    With Stills, which usually use Square Pixels, the size of 640 x 480 works fine, but with Video, the cameras used non-square pixles, in the appropriate PAR. Camera mfgrs. got lazy, and just decided on their own, that they would not bother creating Video with rectangular pixels, like the video standards, and just use the 640 x 480 w/ PAR of 1.0.
    Now, PrE 10 was coded, before this became so popular. It is also built around video standards, with output, such as DVD-Video the main focus.
    If enough camera mfgrs. have begun producing cameras, that create video at the 640 x 480 w/ PAR = 1.0, then I feel that Adobe will include that Project Preset, and maybe as soon as PrE 11, due out in a few months.
    PrPro handles such things differently, in that it offers a Custom Project/Sequence Preset, which allows the user to match the Project/Sequence to odd footage in most attributes. However, PrE does not offer such, and only addresses more standard formats. I have filed Feature Requests for that Custom Preset for about 5 years now, but so far, no-go. As PrPro costs about 6x what PrE does, there WILL be some differences between the two programs, and so far, this is one of them.
    We will just have to wait and see what is introduced in the future - though by then, camera mfgrs. might go off on another tangent, and decide to use some other format and PAR for their cameras. Who knows?
    Some users have had success at hacking PrE's Presets, to accommodate other formats (several such hacked Presets are listed in the Tips & Tricks sub-forum, with links to that work), but I have not seen one for 640 x 480 PAR = 1.0.
    If one does mind either a bit of Scaling, and cropping of the Video Frame, or a little bit of distortion, they can use that footage in a Standard Preset, and just adjust it a little.
    Good luck, and I hope that this explains why Adobe has not caught up to this deviation from the standards.

    just installed 7.0 ..when attempting to load a project (slide show for play back on a DVD) created in Elements 3.0 .. get error that "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements" .. I have no problem loading the same project in Elements 3.0. Also seems specific to this file, an other project create under 3.0 appears to load with out error. I  should point out that  the project that will not load was created in Elements 5.0 and exported over to Premier Element 3.0 to create a playable DVD .. the file that will load was created in Premier Elements 3.0 (not sure if that is significant but more information is better then less) .. any thoughts / suggestions would be appreciated ..thanks

    "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements"
    Unfortunately, the last part of that error says it all. Something is used, that no longer is in PE7, or has been changed significantly. Could be an Effect, a Transition (though those usually just disappear, and the file still Imports - PrPro gives a warning, and tells you which Transition is missing, and the TimeCode of where it was used), or something else.
    If you have PE3, you can do two things:
    1.) finish the edit there and Export to your delivery format
    2.) Export a DV-AVI file and bring THAT into PE7
    Neither is quite as good as being able to Import the .PREL and work on it in PE7, but those are about the only choices that I see. Now, if you have any clue as to what the Effect (whatever) is, that's causing the problem, you *might* be able to open a COPY of the .PREL in WordPad, search for that Effect, eliminate reference to it, and then Save as a .PREL. That might be a lot of work, and might well destroy that COPY of the file - that's why you work on a COPY.
    Good luck,

  • Downloaded Premier Elements 9 It does not have SartSound in the Audio Tools Button. How can I get it

    Having pruchased Premier Elements vis download, I obviously have not installations disc. After working on a project, I went into audio tools to open SmartSound Quicks. It was not included in the tools menu. I know you can add it to tools if you purchased Pre 9 retail and have the disc. Is this an error in that it is not included in the download version? If not, why was not downloaded and how can I get it? Is there a plugin available. Smart sound shows one I believe for Pre pro. Will that work for Pre 9?

    I hope what I am telling you responds to what you would like to do.
    As one of the respondents mentioned, you can't use AirPlay.  What was not mentioned is you can use HomeSharing.
    You need to activate Home Sharing on both your computer's iTunes/Prefs/Sharing and in Settings/iPod in the iPad.  Using the iPod app, select your computer's library and initiate any requests (music) on the iPad.
    Personally I believe Airsharing and Homesharing are some of the worst work I've seen come out of Apple.  Its inconsistent between devices and is needlessly complicated by having two different capabilities essentially doing the same thing.  Throw in the Remote app and you now have three capabilities essentially doing the same thing with different interfaces and inconsistent functionality.

  • Can I download a DV tape to Premier Elements without a firewire connection?

    I recently purchased a new HD camcorder as well as Premier Elements 10.  One of the tasks that I'd like to accomplish via Premier Elements is to download my old DV tapes to my hard drive, which the software seems to support.  The instruction manuals and video tuitorials mention that this transfer / capture must generally be done with a firewire connection (which my computer does not have).  However, my new HD camcorder downloads via a USB connection without a problem.  I tried to download from the DV camcorder using a USB connection and (sure enough) Premier Elements wouldn't recognize the old camcorder.  Does anyone know why is this a problem / what the compatibility issue is?  Is there a way to download the DV tapes to my hard drive without having to purchase and install a new firewire connection to my existing computer and buying a new firewire cord?
    Thanks in advance for any help offered.

    For Capture of tape in PrE, you will need FW. If your computer does not have FW, then you have a couple of choices:
    Add a FW (IEEE-1394) card
    Add a FW connection to a laptop via either a PCMCIA, or ExpressCard
    Good luck,

    Tables are great in InDesign, were are graphs? Since Ai 6.0 or so there's been no improvement on this subject in Illustrator. So why not include graphs in InDesign? Typography would be easier 'leveled', as well as colours and size.
