Premier Elements 8 unable to detect HI8 video camera

I am running windows 8 and have just loaded in Adobe Premiere Elements 8 and the program does not recognize my Media source which is a Sony HI8 Video camera Model CCD-TRV328 NTSC (Which is a 8mm video tape recorder). I am using Dazzle DVC100 as an interface.Is there any way I can get Elements 8 to recognize my media source>>>>

Am I correct that the Sony is an analog tape camera, and not Digital 8?
If so, then it will be the Dazzle, that PrE will need to see. Unfortunately, many users have never gotten the Dazzle units to function well. Once, Dazzle was sold by Pinnacle (might still be by Pinnacle's parent company, AVID), and usually bundled with some form of Pinnacle Studio - even when using that, many users never got the Dazzles to work. See the Pinnacle/AVID forums, to see if that has gotten better.
I would do the capture through the Pinnacle/AVID software, if you got that, and Save the captured files to DV-AVI Type II, if the Pinnacle/AVID can do that. Then, Import that into PrE for editing.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premier Elements 11 - "no burner detected"

I have recently upgraded from elements 9 to elements 11. The software is installed on my lap topPC which runs on Windows 7 64bit.
The programme is working perfectly except for when I try to burn a project onto a DVD. When I select share and burn to DVD I get a message saying "no burner detected". I had no problem with version 9 on the same lap top from which I was able to burn a DVD without any difficulty. Funnily enough, if I select to burn as AVCHD the disc burner is detected.
The lap top is an Asus N55S intel core i7 - 2.2 Ghz with 6GB ram
I hope someone can offer a solution to this perplexing problem
Thanks
Brian Saberton

Thanks to both Bill and Steve for your replies. Apart from Windows explorer I don't have any other DVD burner software on the computer. I have downloaded and installed some non-critical updates, including the most recent driver for the graphics card, but it has not resolved the problem.
I tried burning to a folder and then burned from the folder to a DVD using Windows explorer but the disc will only play on my computer and refuses to play on any of my DVD players. I have a friend who had the same problem with a disc burned using Pinnacle and he thinks this is probably something to do with Windows 7.
I also happen to have Elements 11 installed on my desk top PC which is also running on Windows 7, with explorer the DVD burner, and here I have no problem in burning a project to DVD directly from Elements. (Until recently I used the desk top for all my video editing but it won't handle HD very well so I'm using the lap top for any HD editing)
I'd prefer to be able to burn directly from Elements on the lap tp but I guess if I can't fix the problem I'll have to opt for another burner, so thanks for the information re Imgburn. I'll let you know how I get on.
Your help is very much appreciated

Updated Windows to 8.1 and now Premiere Elements does not see my Panasonic video camera as source

Is anyone else having issues due to the updated Windows 8.1? I have a panasonic digital video mini casset camera that worked fine using a USB cable to upload video. Now the program will not see the camera as a source. Using a firewire is not an option and was not an issue in the past.

How can I get Hi8 video captured in NTSC Standard, to display as 4:3 when DVD is played on TV?

I have been capturing Hi8 tapes of our family, using a Sony analog-to-digital converter and Adobe Premier 10's NTSC Standard (4:3) preset. However, when I use Premiere Elements 10 to burn the digital files to DVDs and then play them on a Sony DVD player and Bravia flat-panel TV, the video is distorted in width automatically by the Wide Zoom mode. The TV cannot be configured to display the frames in the Normal Mode because the resolution is 720p, so the images cannot be viewed with the original 4:3 frame aspect ratio.
After much experimentation, I tried capturing a tape in the NTSC Wide (16:9) preset. When I started to burn the AVI file to a DVD, I got a warning that I was using the wrong format, and the choice to correct the format. I chose NO, and then burned the DVD. To my surprise, it did display on the TV without horizontal stretch, and the images did not appear to have been noticeably degraded.
I would very much appreciate knowing if there is some way for me to go back now and have Premiere Elements 10 somehow reformat all of the Hi8 tapes I captured using the NTSC Standard preset, so that I don't have to recapture them, but can simply reformat them and burn them to DVD's that can be displayed on the TV without being distorted?

Thanks for replying Steve. I've been using a Sony DVMC-DA2, an analog-to- digital media converter which I was advised is used by people converting media professionally. I've been using an S-Video cable to connect it to my Sony Hi8 video camera (Model CCD-TR101), which was considered to be a high-end camera, back in the day (1992). The converter is connected to my Windows 7 computer with an IEEE 1394, "FireWire" cable. I'm not sure how I would check the format into which the Hi8 video is being converted, but I've followed the Adobe Premiere 10 Video Tutorial and configured the capture preset to the NTSC Standard (4:3), which is the one recommended for DV cameras. I couldn't find any advice specifically explaining how to configure the preset when converting analog Hi8 to digital.
In the Premiere Elements 10 editing software itself, the video images burned on a DVD are not distorted, and the quality of the video images during editing looks to be every bit as good as the camera could record.
When I started showing the DVD's to my family, however, I was very disappointed to discover that everything looked stretched in the horizontal direction. I have since studied the configuring of frame aspect ratio modes (Normal, Zoom, Wide Zoom and Full) described in the Sony Bravia TV's instruction manual, in detail. And, I have tried every conceivable combination of the picture and frame settings to see if I could "unstretch' the video images. No, luck. It was then that I came across a footnote that indicated that the Normal mode was not available for video resolutions of 720p, 1080 and higher. Unfortunately, the NTSC Standard preset indicates that it does capture DV in images that have 720 horizontal pixels by 480 vertical pixels.
When I view the Hi8 burned to DVD's on other computers, using Windows Media Player and Video Lan, they are not distorted. In fact, they look so good that I'm just about ready to dedicate my laptop as the DVD player for my TV set! It was while contemplating whether there might be a way to avoid doing this, that it occured to me to try capturing some Hi8 tape using the NTSC Wide Screen preset option. My half-formed idea was that, since the ratio of pixel width to pixel height in the Standard preset was smaller than with the Widescreen preset, using the latter to capture an analog video image might either (1) expand the width of the overall image much farther, and cause grotesque distortion, or (2) squash the width of the overall image, so that it looked normal. I can't pretend to have known what I was doing, since I don't understand video recording technology, but it also occured to me that the Widescreen preset might degrade the resolution, so that it was somehow no longer 720p, and thereby possibly circumvent the Sony lockout of the Normal Mode for these DVD's. Whatever it did, capturing Hi8 video with the NTSC Widescreen preset did, indeed, reduce the width of the frames appearing on the TV Screen, so that they apperared normal.
The question with which I'm now wrestling is whether to go back and re-capture all of the Hi8 tapes, with the NTSC Widescreen preset, that I had already captured with the NTSC Standard preset - a big job. The warning window that popped-up when I prepared to burn the test video captured with the Widescreen preset gave me the option of correcting my "mistaken" choice of capture preset. I declined, and was rewarded with an undistorted video image. Which raises the possibility that, somewhere in Premiere Elements 10, there may be the capability of invoking that same pop-up window and modifying what the software considers to be the "correct," Standard preset to the Widescreen preset,so that I can change the formatting for all of the HI8 tapes I've already captured, so that they can be burned to DVD's and viewed in their proper frame aspect ration.
This has been a long-winded follow-up to your initial answer to my question, but I would very much appreciate any further suggestions.
Many thanks. Paul

Help with initial settings in Adobe Premier Elements 7

I recently bought a Sony DSC-T500 camera which can shoot 720P MPEG4 AVC/H.264. This week I purchased the Premier Elements 7 in hopes to edit video. My question concerns the very first screen that shows up when you open a new project. I'm unsure what my selection must be reagrding the video that will be imported. Under AVCHD everything is 1080i. Under HDV there is a selection for 720p. I'm confused as to the "AVC/H.264" listed on the camera. It seems like it should be opened under the AVCHD but there is no option for the 720! Can someone please assist? Thanks!

I would use the HDV 720p project preset. AVCHD is not edited natively by PE7 anyway and so it is probably better to match the frame size of the video and the progressive.

Steve,
I understand what you say for the play back video menu, fast forward..... stuffs.
My problem is the capture / stop capture (pause) icon on the premier element application.
Meaning i can click CAPTURE icon to start the video capturing but i cannot stop the capture process (the PAUSE icon is gray out). I keep clicking on the pause icon but it is still capturing. How do i stop the capture process sucessfully ?

Adobe Premier Elements 9 into PowerPoint

how do I embed a video file from Adobe Premier Elements 9 into PowerPoint so both video and sound play?

WarrenR
These are some results that I just generated.
I had a 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second (AVCHD.mov with AAC 2 channel audio)
and imported that into Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 with the project preset = NTSC DSLR 1080p DSLR 1080p30 @ 29.97.
I obtained playback (video and audio) in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 for the export of that Timeline, using
Share
Computer
Windows Media
with Presets = Cable Modem, DSR
and with Advanced Button/Video Tab settings looking like
The Average Video Bitrate is not showing in the screenshot. But, for the first run, leave it at 448 Kbps (kilobits per second). When you enter your frame size, you may have to click on the chain link between frame width and height to be able to type 1920 x 1080.
Here you will be using Windows Media Video 9 as the video codec.
Under the Advance Button/Audio Tab, set the audio codec to
Windows Media Audio 10
The audio format will probably be
32 kbps 32 kHz 2 channel 16 bit CBR
As for an .avi version...
Share/Computer/AVI with Presets = DV NTSC Widescreen works but the resolution of the video is going to be 720 x 480 and not 1920 x 1080.
Please give the above a try and see if that works for you.
Recap...my Windows 7 64 bit computer has
QuickTime (latest version) 32 bit version
Windows Media Player Version 12 32 bit
Microsoft PowerPoint 10 64 bit
Looking forward to your results.

Premier elements 10 can't find a burner when using Windows 8.1 Would using a USB disc burner solve the problem?

Using Premier Elements10 with Windows8.1, the program cannot detect a burner. I understand that Windows8 designates the burner as a DVD in order to facilitate drag and drop. I don't want to get too technical and want to know if purchasing an external USB disc burner will solve the problem. Will premier elements be able to detect this burner OK. I don't want to spend the money unless I am fairly certain that it will work.

marion567
There is no guarantee that you will not get a blank field for Premiere Elements Burner Location using any internal or external Blu-ray DVD CD burner or DVD CD burner.
If you go with an USB external burner, just make sure you have the back up of return/money back from the seller.
If you are dealing with just a DVD CD burner, you might try the following if you have not already
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cd-dvd-drive-recognized-application.html
You might also want to consider an uninstall/reinstall of Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 8.1 64 bit following the scheme of
a. uninstall the usual Control Panel route
b. free ccleaner run through CCleaner - Download
c. reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled
The following is the Adobe document that goes to Supported Devices
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/supported-devices-premiere-elements.html
Updating on that unknown. Right now, it is what it is. I have burners that work fine in Premiere Elements on
Windows 7 and 8.1 64 bit and they are not on the list.
Please let us know if any questions on the above or need clarification.
Thank you.

My imovie does not detect my Panasonic NV GS 35 video camera.

Hi,
I have recently bought an apple computer and tried to import video on imovie but imovie did not detect my video camera. i can upload video on my windows xp laptop so i know that all is ok with the camera and i can upload photos and video using my wife's digital photo camera so i know that other hardware is detected by my computer. I have also the correct fire wire cables which I bought from an apple dealer, who could not help me with this problem either.
Do i need different drivers for an apple computer as the only ones that came with the panasonic camera are for windows? and if so where do i get it as i looked on the net unsuccessfully.
Thanks

Toshiba Portege R705-35 Fails to detect video cam and speakers

My Portege R705-P35 laptop has stopped detecting my video cam and speakers. I have updated the system Bios, audio (Realtek) and video drivers and recently reformated to reinstall original settings and drivers. Nothing has worked. The device manager does not detect the video cam or the standard speakers. When I connect my Logitech headset through the USB port it picks up both the headset and the microphone. Both work fine through Skype and in online videos.
Has anyone else encountered this problem and, if so, figured out the solution?

My Portege R705-P35 laptop has stopped detecting my video cam and speakers. I have....recently reformated to reinstall original settings and drivers...The device manager does not detect the video cam or the standard speakers....
This seems strange for these 2 seperate devices to both fail at the same time. You could also try a proper system reset and see if this helps bring them back. Power off your system, unplug everything including the AC, remove the battery, press and hold down the power on button for 30 seconds, replace battery and AC, power on, when you see the Toshiba logo press the 'F2' key to enter BIOS Setup, in setup press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, boot into Windows, and test your webcam and speakers again.
But, when you say that you "recently reformated to reinstall original settings and drivers", do you mean that you performed a Toshiba Recovery to return your unit to its factory default out-of-the-box setup, as directed starting on page 60 of your User's Guide? This is considered the gold standard test on whether you have an actual hardware problem/failure or not.

IMac i7 Quad-Core firewire port and video camera

Has anybody tried to detect a video camera connected to the firewire 800 port?
I have already tried with two PRO tape-based DV video cameras: SONY PD170 and PANASONIC AG-HVX200E with no results. The same models do not have any problem with iMac 27" Core Duo 2.
Apple care protection plan has been useful only to know that if my iMac firewire port can handle an external Hard Disk, as it does, the compatibility with the camera is not a problem of Apple, but simply mine.
Any suggestion? Any help to find official pages by Apple with technical specification about firewire port and protocol of the new iMac 27" i7?
Thanks, Carlo

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?

Adobe Premier Elements Video Editor will not open

I just installed version 12 of Adobe Premier Elements on my Windows 7 (64) system and am unable to open Video Editor. I receive a message that the display driver is not current and a newer version would make the program run more efficiently. After some time, the video editor stops trying to load. I have verified all windows updates are loaded and that I have the most current Quicktime version. I have also unloaded and reloaded Adobe Premier Elements but this issue continues to persist. Please assist.

I suspect that this might be the immediate area to pursue
1. What is your video card's/chip's make and model?
AMD Radeon HD 8730M, Intel Graphics HD 4000
There have been discussions here about problems with Premiere Elements and a dual video card set up.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5747654
What happens if you disable the Intel Graphics HD 4000 and just work with the AMD video card?
This is one of John T. Smith's and Hunt's favorite subjects. So we should be hearing from them soon. Meanwhile their presence can be felt in the link that I have referenced on this subject of dual video cards.

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.

VOB Video files play in Premier Elements but not in Organizer

I just purchased a new Dell Studio 15 Laptop, running Windows 7 (64bit), with an i7 cpu, and my VOB video files play and show a thumbnail in Premier Elements 8 but do not in the organizer. Has anyone found this problem and a solution?

Hunt
Thank you for responding so quickly. I first installed my Premier Elements 8 and Photoshop Elements 8 on our Vista desktop computer, and everything worked fine. I purchased my laptop with a high end cpu, hoping to improve performance, and moved my application over, and now I am unable to play these videos when in the Organizer, while they do play in Elements (they played in both applications on the slower Vista computer).
I tried to update premier elements to 8.0.1, (I am running 8.0) but the updater sayes no updates are available.
I created the VOB files from my old family video tapes using a Sony DVDirect DVD Recorder, model MRD-MC6 if that helps. I didnt try to strip data from the files, because I dont know how, and think I shouldnt have to, given that everything worked fine on my older Vista desktop.
One other clue- if I try to import one file at a time to the organizer, I get the following error message:
"The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed.
Perhaps the Organizer and Premier Elements use different codecs, and the on in my organizer doesnt work." Any ideas how to check if I have the proper codec(s)?
