Premier Elements 13 Organiser

I have just purchased the Windows version of the software and want to use the Slideshow feature in Organiser.
I can create shows using the set options but cant find out how to edit to customise the appearance.
The toolbar in Slideshow does not seem to be activated. I would be grateful for any help.
Regards

Although an Elements Organizer Slideshow is now available to both Mac and Windows users, it is important to focus on the fact that it is not the Slideshow Editor or prior versions.
The opportunities for edits are in the Slideshow Builder and they are limited by comparison to what used to be. The good and not so good news is that your can export 720p and 1080p slideshows (AVCHD.mp4) from this Elements Organizer, but these are in a predetermined theme (choice of 5). There is no Edit with Premiere Elements Editor output from the Slideshow Builder. You could export the 720p and 1080p slideshows and then important them from their computer hard drive location into a Premiere Elements project.
1. Select images in Elements Organizer that you want in the Slideshow. Then Create Menu/Slideshow
2. Slideshow - Choose a theme. Choose the theme and click next brings up a preview of the Slideshow with images in the theme format.
During that preview, you have the options of Edit, Save, Export, or Exit. If you want to Edit the slideshow, select Edit to open the Slideshow Builder.
The options at the bottom of the Slideshow Builder workspace are your edit opportunities.
Are the Slideshow Editing Opportunities pointed to in the screenshot the ones that are not active in your Slideshow Builder?
For background information on this Elements Organizer 13 Slideshow feature, please refer to

Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

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.

Unable to use Organiser in both Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements

I am unable to use Organizer in both Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements. An error message appears, "The catalog could not be opened. An internal program error occurred."
I have tried to repair the catalog, starting a new catalog, and reinstalled both programs, but the error persists.
I am using Elements and Premier Elements V12 on Windows 8.1.
Any help to get me going again would be appreciated.
Thanks
Colin

Hello
Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't make any difference.
However, by trail and error I have found a 99% solution.
Right Click the Elements icon on Desktop.
Select Troubleshoot Compatibility.
Select Troubleshoot Program
Select a problem option (I used Other)
Select Windows Version (Windows 8 for me)
Select Test the Program
If it works, which it did in my case, Save the settings.
This seems to have resolved my problem, with the exception that I now get an extra screen when opening Elements to allow the program to make changes to my computer. I can live with that.
When I get time I will check whether there are any Adobe or Windows updates that will make this step unnecessary.
I hope this will help other people with the same problem.
Thanks for responding.

Premier Elements 7 - confusion over mixing video formats

Hi
I have been using a DV camcorder (SD quality) for some time, originally recording in 4:3 format, and more recently in 16:9 format (as we bought a wide screen telly).
I have just treated myself to a new AVCHD Panasonic video recorder recording High Definition footage in 1080 16:9 PAL format onto an SD memory card.
I wanted to take all this footage and put it on my computer to edit it together and start making some films to keep for the future - on DVD for now, and at some point on Blue Ray. To this end I have just purchased Adobe Premier Element 7.0, with Photoshop Elements 7.0 bundled together.
My confusion is that it appears I can only use one format in a "project" as I need to define the parameters for the "project" in terms of SD vs HD and 4:3 vs 16:9. I was hoping to be able to store all of my footage of various quality definitions and screen ratils into a "library" (which I see is called "Organiser" in Adobe terms) on the hard disk, and then pick and choose from the "library" what to put into each "film project" as I make them, mixing formats as I wish. I realise that in this way, the output would itself switch from 3:4 to 16:9 etc on accasions as I switch scene to use a different format, and so may not appear to be the smoothest edit.... but I thought that would be my decision to do if I wanted it. Instead it appears I cannot mix a few minutes if 4:3 SD footage of my son as a baby, with more recent 16:9 1080 HD footage of him as a boy - which is a real shame as it is what I wanted to do....
Have I misunderstood, or am I right in thinking I am limited in this way?
Why can I mix still photos of any format with video , but not mix different formats of PAL video?
Many thanks

Thanks Paul
I have been having go, as you suggest, and as you said, I cannot edit my AVCHD footage in Scene mode as it has 5.1 audio (which I cannot change on the videocam) This is very disappointing as I really wanted the simplicity of the scene editing rather than timeline.... This is compounded by the fact that timeline editing seems even more complicated than normal as each new AVCHD clip I add is placed onto a different video track (not all on track 4 as you thought)- so it is real mess to work out on my screen.... Is this a bug, the way PRE treats 5.1 tracks - or is it just oversight and poor design? Do you think it might be addressed by Adobe?
Anyhow, thanks for explaining what is going on, as without your warning, I would have assumed that the PRE 7 sceneline feature was broken - you would have thought there would be some warning / documentation from Adobe about this, as effectively, a big feature is now unavailable to me as an AVCHD user - and the product claims to be compatible with AVCHD!
Would you be able to advise on a couple more of my "newbie" file format questions?
How do the settings work between setting the initial PROJECT format, and then choosing the various OUTPUT (sharing) settings. For example, if I want to edit a project using AVCHD clips only, and output it to DVD quality to watch on a PC or burn to DVD disk, do I get the same thing if I set the project setting to PAL AVCHD High Def 1080 5.1 and then the share setting to DVD quality output, as I would if I set the project settings to DV 48hz and the share setting to DVD quality output?
My ideal would be to retain the High Definition of the footage through the editing process and then be able to output to DVD quality now, but to be able to come back to the finished edited project in the future and choose to output it to Blueray when I have upgraded my TV and bought a blueray player. i.e. I am trying to make my filming and edited projects a bit futureproof....
Finally, I am just not up enough on all the different format lingos (Mpeg1, MPeg2, H.116 etc) to know what I should be choosing from the list for:
1) outputting edited footage to burn onto a DVD to be used on a DVD player
2) outputting edited footage to save onto a PC to view in the best possible quality on a PC
Do you know?
Many thanks

Why doesn't my Premier Elements 11 software (bundled with Canon 6d) allow me to use elements editing

I have just loaded Premier Elements 11 bundled with my new Canon 6D camera (I also have elements 10 previously installed on my computer) but although it allows access to Elements Organiser, it doesnt allow me to edit anything via photoshop elements. I just get an error message saying that Elements 11 is required and do I want to download a free trial? I input the relevant licence numbers when I downloaded from the CD so is this not a full version of Elements or is there an error?

The default version of ACR in PSE11 is 7.1;
The Canon 6D was issued later and requires version 7.3, so you have to update your ACR version to a recent one (up to 8.0) in the help / update menu.

Premiere Elements 10 - Organiser 100% CPU

Hi there folks, I hope someone can help me!
I've recently bought the combined Photoshop & Premier Elements 10 package and installed it on my system, however I am having a massive problem with the Organiser.
When I load either of the programs my CPU usage shoots up to 100% and my system runs very slowly.. if I quit it also keeps the process running in the background at 100% cpu..
If I end the process my system returns to normal.
Also the organiser does not show thumbnails for all of my video clips - only some.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? I've tried removing and reinstalling it with no luck!
Thanks in advance!
System spec:
Intel i5 2500 running at stock speed, 8gb DDR3-1600 Vengence, Asus H67 board, Intel 80gb SSD, Samsung Spinpoint 1Tb HDD, Windows 7 HP 64bit, Norton IS 2012, Klite mega codec pack, VLC media player

No sorry I still have the issue. Have tried all of the fixes here to no avail (thanks all for the help though!)
Only thing I have noticed is if you don't actually load the organiser at all and just load premier directly; you can use the inbuilt organiser (top right of screen) and premier works fine.
I've given up on the organiser ever working correctly now. I've tried a complete system re-install and still no luck..

Unable to resize the Edit window in Premier Elements 11

I am unable to resize the premier elements edit window - it just leaves a trail of images of the edit window on the screen when I try to make the window smaller - It doesn't refresh the desktop behind, no problem using and resizing window in Photoshop Elements 11 installed at the same time and also the organise window is resizeable OK just the edit window a problem - any ideas - I am using Windows 7 64 bit?

Full -Computer spec is - Windows 7 64-bit, 8Mb RAM, Processor Intel Core i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10 GHz and graphics card AMD/ATI Radeon HD6570 2Gb RAM - Updated windows and Graphics card driver. When rebooted my windows had gone into an Aero theme and worked OK - but putting back to windows classic - problem returned i.e. Organise editor OK but Video Editor with just New Project and no media added resizing window just leaves a trail around the screen. Put back to Aero theme and now OK again. Tried going into System properties / advanced / visual effects / Show windows contents whilst dragging - and turned off but still did not work with Windows classic theme.
So don't know why it is happening but it is at least a work around - thanks for your help.

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

Unable to load project (prel file) into Premier Elements 7.0

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,

I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open

I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from an external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. While setting up my new MAC the external hard drive was dropped and I have been told by an outside source they could not retrieve the files. It had 4 years of photos and videos on it. I remembered that I had downloaded some of the videos from the external hard drive (before it was broke) to Adobe Organizer 13 when I installed the Adobe 13 on my MACOS X 10.9.5. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open these videos?
Any input is greatly appreciated!! I am sick over losing the videos and had a little hope on Adobe Organizer until I was unable to open them. I am thinking it is due to my external hard drive not being plugged in. I thought when I transferred from the external hard drive to Adobe 13 that it would be there without the external hard drive needing to be attached but maybe I did something wrong.
Thanks again for any help!!!!

It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

AVHCD my HD experience so far with Premier Elements 7

Hi
I thought I would try and contribute to the ongoing discussion about HD video, and in particular the use of AVHCD media with Premiere Elements 7. I
wandered into this arena rather than planning my way in but luckily I am having a good time. I hope my experiences may be useful to others here.
My aim is to shoot and edit video at the best quality possible but remaining comfortably within the current capability of my PC and its
operating system.
I am no editing expert by any means but I have been editing my home movies for several years using various bits of software and operating systems
along the way.
I am brand new to the world of High Definition and I currently intend to playback my movies on a Sony PS3 and a high definition tv. I archive my
finished movies on hard disk rather than burn to DVD. I dont yet have a blueray burner.
My current equipment.
================
Camera
======
My camera is the Sony AVCHD HDR-TG7VE. It has 4 HD recording modes.
HD FH = 1920 x 1080/50i 16M
HD HQ = 1440 x 1080/50i 9M
HD SP = 1440 x 1080/50i 7M
HD LP = 1440 x 1080/50i 5M
For further details see here
http://www.sony.co.uk/product/cam-high-definition-on-memory-stick/hdr-tg7ve
Computer
========
My editing system consists of the following;
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz
4 GB RAM
3 SATA Hard drives, for for system files, 2 WD caviar black drives for editing.
Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 32bit version.
Premier Elements 7 full version.
Windows System Assessment
CPU Score 5.60 (Calculations per second)
Memory Score 5.90 (Memory operations per second)
Graphics Score 5.90 (Desktop performance for Windows Aero)
D3D Score 5.90 (3D business and gaming graphics performance)
Disk Score 5.70 (Disk data transfer rate)
Windows Experience Index 5.60 (Base score)
Current workflow
================
I have only been experimenting for a couple of days but this is my current
workflow.
I shoot my video in HD HQ.
I use the supplied Sony software to get the files into my PC
I convert those files into MPEG2HD using Free AVCHD Converter V1.0 as recommended on this site.
I leave the output format as standard except I raise the Video bitrate to 2500 Kbps as recommended in other posts on here.
I use the HDV 720p 25 preset for my project
I output as a PC file, MPEG HD720p
Using these settings I have a pleasant editing experience and the finished product is certainly much better than using standard definition. When I add my clips to the timeline I don't get the red bar across the top of them unless I add an effect. This saves rendering time and provides for smooth playback within Premiere Elements 7 as I check my edits.
Now, I have no idea if what I am doing is correct and I would dearly love to hear suggestions for how I can improve things further. The good news for me however is that I can use my new camera without having to upgrade my PC.
Regards
Ken

Ken,
Welcome to the forum, and thank you for taking the time to post your workflow.
While the CPU could be beefier, it's comforting to see that your I/O sub-system (your HDD's) are set up better than 99% of the people out there, for editing. Way to go! BTW, if your CPU is doing it for you, I'd not worry about it, until you build your next machine. You are getting more out of yours, than many with Quad-core chips, and some with dual-Quads. That is a testament to a strong machine and a clean one too.
With your sucess, I feel that your workflow might well be a useful baseline for others.
Thanks for posting,
Hunt

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
