Premiere Elements 10 Freezing while editing

I apologize in advance if this has been brought up before, but I have searched for a solution with no results. Since installing Premiere Elements 10 this week, i have expirenced many freezes with the program that has forced me to exit out of the program. most common occurance is when adding a new clip to time line. after adding, the program stops responding, even if left alone for over an hour. freezing occationally happens when loading projects as well. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? I have a project due and I really need Premiere to work so any help would be a major help. I have uninstalled and reinstalled today, and I have the latest version of quicktime.

Adobe premiere elements 9 not editing

This is my second attempt to post (my last one a little while ago didn't appear).
I have bought the above package mainly to edit some club videos. It is driving me mad.
I have a Sony Viao
Vista Home Premium
Service pack 2
Intel Core DUO CPU
2.00 GB Ram
32-bit
I have imported a video from my comcorder to the PC via ION EZ Converter. The video is stored as a .mpg file.
When I open up organiser the thumbnail is there.
The first time I opened organiser I somehow managed to drag the video to the left side of the screen and got a timeline but when I started it up I got sound but no picture. However, now when I open up organiser and go into EDIT, aand try to drag across I get automatically sent into video effects and can't go back!
I was told that the problem may be due to incorrect codecs and I have downloaded K-LITE MEGA Codec but that doesn't seem to have helped.
Before I did this I also got a message in elements
"we have detected an incompatible display driver. To get a better and faster playback performance please update your display driver.
Display driver details: NVIDIA Corporation - GeForce 8400M G7/PCI/SSE2 2.1.1"

Premiere CC 2014 freezes while editing

I'm not sure how common this is, but I know others have complained about Premiere CC 2014 crashing their systems. For me, it freezes after editing for a while. During playback the video will freeze while the audio continues. Eventually the entire program will crash.
Its a shame because there is no way to export this project to Premiere CC, but I can't work this way. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Premiere Elements freezing and closing after adding a Menu.

I have been making movies with Premiere Elements for awhile now. Ever since I started, I have had the same problem. It would hang, and eventually close on me. I then got the new version, PE8 a while back. Unfortunately, I still had the same problem.
I made an entire video having trouble with the freezing problem. But I put up with it and saved every few minutes. Now I get to the end and made the Menu pages. When I almost finished it, it closes on me. I keep trying to go back into it, with absolutely NO success! I have been dealing with this for a long time, so I am well aware of needing to turning off the internet and virus software with the realtime scanning. I also have been manually closing everything I can in my startup menu.
Every so often I restart to see if that helps, but no help. So, I have been looking at the conversations here for a while recently and have tried what I think is everything. I made sure I had the updated version of Elements 8. I updated everything, all the important and optional updates. Made sure my graphics card was up to date. I don't use QuickTime, but I updated it anyway. I ran Disc Cleanup and Defrag. I did the MsConfig disabling bonjour, apple mobile, ITunes, Reader. I had it boot without GUI. I even disabled the Windows Indexing feature.
Even after all that, every time I open PE8, I gives me the warning message that it is running low on memory! I don't know what else to do. Please help.
Now I know you all want to know what the details of my system are, so here it is.

Can a video created in Premiere Elements 8 be edited in Premiere Elements 12?

I am having trouble with my Premiere Elements 8 freezing. I reloaded it onto the computer and it worked once and then froze again. So I was thinking about upgrading to PE 12. But I don't know how compatible the two programs are. Does anyone have a solution to my problem?

Churlin
Typically it is recommended that project created in one program be completed in that program. It is possible, but not guaranteed, that a Premiere Elements 8 Windows project will open in Premiere Elements 12 Windows.
But, remember, once a project from the earlier version is opened in a later one and edited, you cannot edit the older project that was edited in the later version. Best make a copy of the Premiere Elements 8 project and use that copy to determine if it will open in Premiere Elements 12. Remember keep the project source media with the project.prel file. Look at Project Archiver (Copy option) if necessary.
Troubleshooting Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 would include
a. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer features turned off?
b. Do you have pile ups of previews, conformed video, and conformed auto?
c. What type of project do you have...project settings, properties of source media, types of edits?
d. Computer resources
and so on.
It is the problem confined to one project or all? How long has the problem existed?
More later.
Thanks.

Premiere Elements 7 Basic Editing Question for DV

Hello all,
I have PE7, a Q6600 quad-core, and Windows 7 64bit.
I have captured about 6 hours of Standard Definition 16:9 DV footage from my church's grand opening ceremony. Video was captured from an old Pana PV-GS320.
The church wants a dynamic video to be produced from the captured footage (60 minutes at the most in length). I plan on doing many different effects including semi-transparent video layering, picture in picture, inserting photographs, and inputing audio clips from the ceremony. The final product will be a standard definition DVD disc.
I've done some research regarding how DV is interlaced and output for DVD should be interlaced (unless I'm wrong in that conclusion, let me know). I also know that doing heavy editing with interlaced footage (slowing/speeding footage, zooming in and out, rotating, multiple layering, etc) may create flickering and "mice teeth" in the video. I've also searched through these forums and keep on running into HD questions/solutions... I guess I'm asking an old question that was probably answered long ago when DV tape ruled the world.
QUESTION 1:
So, if I may ask, in order to get the best results, should I prepare my raw footage in PE7 before editing it by (1) by deinterlacing it? (2) exporting it as progressive? (3) both? (4) leave it alone and begin editing away? or (5) am I missing another option?
QUESTION 2:
Also, what resolution would be best to import the photos into the project?
I know the best way to work with any video is to make as little changes as possible to it, but this is unavoidable in my case. No one wants to sit through 6 hours of video...
Thankyou very much for reading my questions and I really hope you have some time to answer it! Thanks for any information! I really appreciate it!
-141rockwell

Relax, rockwell. You're making it all unnecessarily complicated.
If you've captured your video as DV-AVIs over a FireWire connection, you won't get "mice teeth" in your final product. The program is designed to work with interlaced video and create interlaced DVDs. The results should look virtually as good as the original footage! You can't damage video with "excess editing."
Just trust the program to take care of the technical issues. You can concentrate on the editing.
As for any photos you want to add, you'll get the best results if they're no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size, per the FAQs to the right of the forum.

Premiere Elements 7 720p editing notebook Hardware requirements

Hi there,
I need a new Notebook for myself.
Some desktop workstation is no alternative for me...and I need a mobile , light weighted, enduring notebook since I am traveling a lot. Its required mainly for surfing , typing and programming MS VisualStudio.
But also for hobby cutting 702p clips With PremiereElements....
My panasonic Lumix Tz7 produces 720p Avchd (Lite ) mts output with length up to 15 minutes.
Now that format is what I want to cut with Premiere Elements.I am willing to accept minor speed issues, cutting is just my hobby.
Currently I have a 2.53Ghz Pentium which requires a 15 min clip to load 10 min. During that time Premiere Elements is blocked and the System processor is up to 100% usage. I am not able to parse through the clip without further blocking.
Now will that one do?
Aspire Timeline 3810TG-734G32n
Core 2 Duo SU7300 (1,3GHz)
4GB RAM DDR3
for 800 Euros
http://www.arlt.com/index.php?sid=ccb4c2cc45105affc8716a35fdb15e84&
Since I do need the notebook mainly only for typing and Websurfing I rather hesitant to buy something like:
Sony VGN-SR59VG/H with core2 Duo P8700 (2,53GHz) for 1.299,00 Euros or some other model from the Z series. they are really good technology but expensive -- but even then I am not sure if that one is sufficient for avchd lite editing.
does anyone have any suggestions??
Any hint will be welcome!
David

David,
AVCHD is about the most demanding codec imaginable. It requires quite some muscle. For desktops the minimum requirements are i7 to make any editing experience better than an extremely boring waiting exercise, despite what Adobe says. I realize it is only for occasional use and for a hobby, but still...
I have the Sony Vaio VGN-FW31ZJ, but it is too slow IMO to use for editing. It is convenient for using with OnLocation, but that is about it.
Have a look here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/438156?tstart=30
Now if you were to invest in a notebook, at least go for an i7 and make sure you have a firewire port for capturing and 2 eSATA connectors for harddisks with 7200 RPM minimum. Have a look at Sager. This will imply concessions on portability and budget, but that is the consequence of notebooks for editing, especially with AVCHD material.
Mobile, lightweight and durable are in direct conflict with the basic requirements for editing. Editing requires an octopus notebook, with dongles, external disks, cables for ingest and all kinds of paraphernalia to make it work as an editing machine.

Premiere elements freeze

When I use more then 10 minutes of video (MP4 format, 640*480 60bps),
the software freezes.
My PC configuration seems to meet the requirements,
AMD 64 X2 4200+ 2.21 GHz, internal memory of 2 GB.
Regards,

Run Task Manager while editing and watch the total memory. In my experience running PE on XP Pro (32 bit), if the total memory figure gets to about 1.4GB for any reason (and editing lots of MP4s will do it), PE can either crash or freeze or get very flakey. You can even get into a situation where it will let you add clips and then the resulting project will crash PE. If you or PE saved just before it crashed, you may find that you can no longer open the project without PE crashing right away.
I have found that if I have another program open in the background, switching focus to it and then back to PE can often free up memory for a while.
Note that this is independant of the amount of physical RAM you have in the system. A 32 bit OS hands out 4GB of virtual RAM per application and that is split 50/50 between the application and system tasks so PE only gets 2GB to play with, no matter what.
I am experimenting with Windows 7 (64 bit) and things are smoother but near as I can tell, PE runs in 32 bit mode on a 64 bit OS so it can't take advantage of the additional memory space the OS can make available. I think Windows 7 gives it 3GB instead of 2GB though. Too bad, this is the one application I own that could REALLY use more memory (and I thought that a couple GB would be WAY more than I would ever need for any application). Oh, and I'm liking Windows 7.......

Premiere Element Freezes When Tried to Burn DVD

My computer meets and exceeds the requirements for Premiere Element 4. It also has about 50 GB of free disk space. I put together a file (about 30 minutes) consisting of stills and video clips, sound tracks, effects, and transition. When I tried to burn a DVD the first time, the program froze at the first instance of "burn" after completion of encoding and compiling. I removed Premiere Element and then reloaded it. I was able to burn a DVD. When I tried to burn again after making a minor change (to some text on still images), I then experienced the same problem even though with the same remove/reload routine.
From your website, I tried to sort out if the problem was due to my project or my computer system. I could create a DVD folder of a simple file but not a folder for my project. So it seemed that my project file was the problem. I then took the suggested approach, i.e. to make DVD folders of segments of my project and they all worked.
Finally, I was able to export my project to my hard disk as an AVI file and then load the file as a new project. Then burning a DVD was uneventful. The burned DVD showed that the file was about 1.6 GB in length.
Would appreciate your suggestions on how to identify the glitch that prevented me from burning a DVD in the straightforward manner. I might add that I had burned DVDs of projects of almost identical composition and length and had experienced no such problem.

From your description, it sounds like either the photos were larger than 1000x750 pixels in size and/or that you needed to clear your Media Cache (in Premiere Elements Edit/Preferences).

Adobe Premiere CC freezing while conforming .VOB

Hi all,
First of all, Happy New Year.
I am using Premiere CC and have run into something niche. I have received some old .VOB files and brought them in to see if Premiere would take them, and to my surprise it did with some of the files. It conformed fine as well. Now on some of the more lengthy .VOBs it froze. One one of the clips it conforms all the way until the end and then freezes. So I restarted Premiere, same thing. So I restarted computer, same outcome. So I did some reading and referred to this article about .VOBs - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/464549. I do have MPEG and initially threw the files into the program to see if I could view them there before I put them into adobe. Well you can't preview them there so you have to export which is a lengthy process. I just don't understand why some are ok and some simply are not.
My Specs:
Mac Pro
32 GB RAM
8 Core processors
RAID - http://www.promax.com/p-1105-promax-fastmax-fx8-32tb.aspx

=============
It seems that whomever transferred the tape to the .VOB format spit out fragments because I found the fragment clip within a larger clip
====
That dvd stuff is sorta standardized ( is supposed to be technically very tight re: code and creation of dvd )..and is actually owned ( copyrighted or patented or whatever you call it ). In other words, every single program that burns DVD's is supposed to handle the creation the same way according to standard.
It's not a matter of a person 'choosing' to do something one way or another when using the program to burn a DVD. It is more a matter of how the 'program' to burn dvd has implemented the standard. Believe it or not.. there is some leeway in there due to translation from Japanese to English and so on... some programs to burn dvd do a better job than others...but the basics are the same. No 'user' of the program to burn dvd has any control over that.. the program is the thing.
I'm glad you got the video and sound portion of your vob file.. good going. it's like you became a video forensic expert !

Camera RAW - freezing while editing image and also wont update to new version

I moved from Mac 10.6.8 computer to a new Mac 10.10 computer. When I did, I transfer of all my files through data migration and it moved photoshop and bridge over for me without having to reinstall. Which was good because I do not have the disc anymore. My Adobe version is CS5. The problem I am having is that when I open large amounts of files within camera RAW (like anything over 15), the camera RAW program freezes. I then have to shut it down and reopen it again. I made sure to try other folders and files and it has happened over 6 times in different locations and different files and different amount of files opening. Any ideas? I noticed that maybe I needed to update my Adobe application because of the computer move, but when I went to the help menu and update, it goes through the entire process of updating all Adobe Applications and fails giving an error message only at the end saying, " There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later."

Adobe Premiere Elements 10 on Mac OS 10.7.2 - Hanging and Freezing

Hello there,
While I'm not very knowlegable about video editing software, I do use Premiere Elements 10 to edit videos for YouTube. I recently have been able to record using a device which records in 1080i, 29.97fps and saves as an mp4 file format. I've been trying to edit these files (which can be up to an hour long) in Premiere Elements; however, as soon as a video file from this recorder is imported and dragged into the project, it hangs and freezes. Sometimes, the hang happens when "conforming" the video file; other times it happens when trying to preview the video.
My theory is that it is due to the file format, or because of the sheer size of the file. The files can be several GBs.
I have tried to reinstall the program, but this hasn't worked.
Is there any advice you could give me?
Thanks,
LiamWatson28.

Hey Bill, thanks for the quick response.
It does use the H.264 CODEC. The project preset I'm using is NTSC-AVCHD-Full HD 1080i 30, although when I import the video to the project, I sometimes get a dialog box telling me that the project settings can be matched to the imported video, which I allow it to do. I have around 250GB of free space on my HDD. I allow the video and audio to conform and such on importing, I do not try to edit the video/audio while it is conforming. I'd also like to add that all files are transferred onto the HDD before the edit.
My specs:
MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011) running Mac OS 10.7.4 (Lion) I apologise, I had this wrong in the title and the original post.
Intel Core i5 2.4GHz Dual-Core
8GB RAM
500GB SATA HDD
Intel HD3000 Integrated Graphics (if that's any help)
If there's anything else I need to provide, please let me know.
EDIT: I just tested editing a 10 minute video with the same file format and project preset, and, while it was hanging as frequently, it would only be for up to 5 seconds. Compared to the 50 minute video I was trying to edit, the hangs were much longer, sometimes becoming freezes. I know that if there aren't any immediate fixes and using the same video settings, I'll have to reduce the file size by reducing the length of the video, so cutting more frequently rather than recording long stretches.
Thanks,
LiamWatson28.
