Premiere Elements 10 - Moving Pictures to Time Line

Have version 10 and no manual is available yet, so a simple question im sure.
I have say 100 pictures that I want to move into my movie, making a slide show of sorts.
Is there a way to move them all and set the time (or number of frames) that each picture is shown.
So select all 100 pictures and move to time line and set the time to display each one to 1 second as example.
Is there a way to select multiple pictures on the time line and set them all to be shown for a specific time.
I know that a silgle item can be selected on the time line and manualy dragged to make it a specifice time,
but can this time be entered by entering a time/frames value?  I'd like to change the time on all 100 at the same time.
My objective is to make a fast moving slide show from pictures, being able to set the on screen time for each one to
the same value, all at once, not having to select each one on the time line and manually adjust it picture by picture.
Dave

Sure is.
First, before you load the photos into Premiere Elements, go to Edit/Preferences and set the duration for each still. You must do this before you import your pictures because it only affects stills added after you make this change.
Then, before you bring your pictures in, open them in a program like Photoshop Elements and make sure they are all no larger than 1000x750 pixels. Photo Elements has a batch change feature under the File menu called Process Multiple Files.
Then use Get Media/From Files and Folders and bring your pictures into your project. If you've got them named in alpha numeric order, they'll appear in the Media panel in the right order and you can grab them all at once and drag them to the timeline. Voila!
All of this and more is in my books, by the way -- for better or worse, the ONLY manuals for Premiere Elements and the Photo Elements/Premiere Elements combo (aside from Adobe's Classroom in a Book). You can read about it and see some walk-throughs of its new features here:

  • Can I have two projects open on Premiere Elements at the same time? (Elements 13 for Windows)

    Hi there.
    Can I have two projects open on Premiere Elements at the same time?
    The reason I wanna do this is because I've trimmed many hours of clips in one project (One timeline) and I want to start a new project where I have a "clean" timeline and can add clips from the
    first project (Cut and paste). Or how do I bring a trimmed clip from one project into another in a easy way?
    Thanks
    -Dan-

    Your question is in the Photoshop Elements forum.  There is another forum for Premier Elements and this will probably be moved.
    That said, the answer is that Premier Elements has not be designed with the ability to cut and paste from one project to another.  The only "work around" is to "Publish&Share" to a best quality format that matches your project settings.  You can control the output clips with the "work area bars".  You can then add the new clip to the second project.   The output rendering process can, at least in theory, reduce the picture quality.  Depending on formats, settings and footage, it may not be noticeable.
    There is a third party product called Clipmate that some say works, but not always with good results.

  • Premiere Elements 8 crashes every time I load it

    I just purchased the combo of Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8.  Photoshop installed fine, but every time I try to open Premiere, it goes through the loading process and then crashes before it opens.  I uninstalled and reinstalled and the same thing happened.  I returned the software and exchanged for another disk and the same thing happens.  I updated my drivers, updated quicktime etc. and nothing works.  Any ideas?

    One type of "plug-in" that causes a crash/hang when loading is the VST. These are often from audio-editing programs, and appear as .dll's in most cases. When the Adobe program encounters the VST's that it finds on the system, it attempts to load them, even if they did not install with PrE. There is a very quick and tiny line of text on the Splash Screen, indicating which are being loaded. One has to watch very closely to see this text, and as it goes by quickly on a fast computer, can be tough to read. One idea is to set up your video camera and record the loading process, focused on the Splash Screen. Then, when the launch fails, just rewind that tape and shuttle through it, until the Splash Screen disappears. Go back one Frame and pause. What is the very last line in that text? It is likely that that is the problem - that, or maybe the next one - the one we have yet to see...
    There are three things that happen with the VST's:
    1.) The Adobe program loads them successfully and can use them.
    2.) The Adobe program loads them successfully, but cannot use them. In PrPro, the user gets a one-time warning message to that effect. One only sees this message once.
    3.) The Adobe program cannot load, nor can it use, the particular VST(s). In PrPro, the program writes a "blacklist" of the ones that cause the crash. If one has many of these # 3 VST's, the blacklist grows, on every attempted launch, until all are on the blacklist. Then, the program can launch. It will take one launch attempt for each of the offending VST's. On a DAW with tons of VST's (especially the "instruments" VST's), this might mean 20-30 aborted launches, before all are blacklisted. I mention PrPro here, because I have no idea whether PrE does the same thing. Possibly, but I just do not know. I did not realize that PrPro did the automatic blacklist until recently. Most people would only try to launch a couple of times, and then give up.
    If one knows which VST's are getting in the way, they could address those. Hence, reading that little text line might be very useful.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 problems time line

    hi
    I installed the new version of Premiere, DC 2014. (system win7_64 , i7-3960x, SSD, Nvidia 4000 driver 331.82)
    The tim line presents an anomaly (see attached photo)
    The playback head and the time marker are not aligned. The deviation is about 5 tenths of a second and increases moving the head from the beginning to the end of the time line window. At the beginning of the window (time-independent) the difference is imperceptible, increases towards the end of the window.
    Can you help me, thanks.

    no one can help me?
    I verified that the deviation between the playback head and temporal marker is only in the panel time line and not in the panel control effects.

  • Adobe premiere elements 4 picture in picture

    I shot 3 videos with a flip ultra hd and i want 2 of the videos to open picture in picture style over the 1st video. i achieved this with no problem but when i play it back the video and audio is very jerky. Any thoughts as to what i should do?

    In most case, though, Flip video simply won't work in Premiere Elements and will need to be converted to a more standard format, as detailed in the FAQs to the right of this forum.

  • Frustration at a 10!!!-Premiere Element 9 extending duration time for disc menu, motion menu buttons

    So I have spent over two days trying to extended the duration time for the dvd main menu motion sequence as well as the chapters.  For some reason the main menu sequence is stuck at 29 seconds and chapter sections are stuck at 4 seconds.  I've tried manually putting in more time, but it always resorts back to the above mentioned times.  I noticed there are blue dots under the two run times does that mean the times can't be made longer?  What am I doing wrong here?
    Patrick

    Patrick,
    PrE has a 00;00;30;00 Duration limit on the Menus. Some other, full-featured authoring apps., like Adobe Encore (bundled with PrPro), do not. Not sure about Sony's DVD Architect, which is a very popluar, and inexpensive authoring program. This ARTICLE goes into some detail on Menu Durations, but the limit is still 30 sec. in Pre.
    Good luck and welcome to the forum,

  • Premiere Elements 8 crashes every time I try to select smart sound

    When I have a project open and I try to select a Smart Sound file, the program immediately shuts down. I can open Smart Sound, but when I select a sound file, as soon as I click on it the program shuts down and I'm looking at my desktop. I've tried disabling my AVG virus software hoping that was the problem, but same results.

    How much RAM have you got and how much free, defragmented space is on your hard drive?
    You may also want to ensure you have the latest updates to your operating system and the latest Quicktime.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 7 files encountering major errors

    I have Adobe Premiere Elements 7 and every time I try to edit certain parts of my movie I get major errors. Here's what I've done to try to fix the problem:
    gone through some of the troubleshooting tips from adobe.com
    uninstalled and reinstalled PE7
    did a system restore to several days ago when it was working fine
    The movie I am editing is over an hour long, and has a variety of movie clips, pictures, narration, and music. When I press play it works pretty good, but when I want to move the narration around or "clear" a certain clip, it goes crazy!! Here's a few of the error boxes I've seen:
    Premiere Elements Debug Event
    [..\..\Src\Sequence\TrackItemTrack.cpp-480]
    and also this one
    [..\..\Src\VideoSegment.cpp-55]
    When those come up I can only click "continue" and then it pops up again and again until finally it says that there was an error, it must close down, and it will try to save the project.
    This has also come up before the file opens:
    Found default catalog. Trying to open the default catalog.
    And, when I did the system restore this came up when I opened PE7:
    The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call customer support.
    I have a deadline to meet with this movie, but I can't even edit it closes down on me so much! I have tried opening other PE7 movie files and edit them and they seemed to work fine from the little I did. Could it be that the file itself has something wrong with it? I have had minor problems with PE7 before but nothing as bad as this! I have my movie file saved on the computer hard drive, and two separate external hard drives. I have tried opening the file from all three places but they are all the same.
    I am not a computer whiz, but If you need any more info, let me know, and please respond ASAP!!
    Thanks!

    Well, it's not working again. Here's what happened:
    I opened that other file this morning, like I told you. I edited for a few hours, then I added a picture, then tried moving some clips that were grouped together, but instead of moving them it did something else (not sure what) and then it said there was an error and it had to close down (I was able to delete the picture off the timeline, just in case that was causing the problem, which I don't think it was). I was glad to have gotten so much editing in, but really disappointed it wasn't fixed completely like I'd hoped. So I opened PE7 again and it said I needed to save the file as another name. So I did that and kept editing for another few hours, with no major problems. Then, when I was moving something around again there was an error message and it closed down. At this point I was thinking "This isn't good, but hopefully it will open again and work like last time." But no, this time, the file wouldn't even OPEN!! This is the worst it's been. Those same error messages come up (PE Debug Event) and a new one too:
    Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library
    Runtime Error
    Program: ...\AdobePremiereElements7.0\AdobePremiereElements.exe
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I've been having a few minor problems with Windows Vista as well, such as the scroll bar on the Internet going up and down like crazy for several seconds, and also a runtime error (similar to the one above) when I open a folder under my computer. Could it be I have a virus? I have Vipre antivirus installed on my computer so hopefully that is taking care of anything like that.
    I can open a copy of the movie file I made earlier today (but I'm not sure yet if I can edit with it or not - I don't want to make a bunch of changes and lose my work!), but not the latest file I worked on that had the last problems. Here are my project presets:
    (this forum won't let me copy and paste!)

    the videos are all .avi (some were conformed from .MTS to.avi with PE7 under SHARE)
    By "assets, stills, video etc. on the timeline" do you mean I should tell you everything I have on the timeline in order? Or did you mean something else? I was a little confused by that (I'm a visual person and so new to this!).
    Thanks so much for your help!!

  • Premiere Elements 9 PC: Major Importer Failure

    I think that I have gone down every troubleshooting road on trying to discover why "all of a sudden" Premiere Elements 9 PC will not import anything via Get Media/Files and Folders into its Organize interface as is its default behavior. The program fails at that point and shows the message "the program is not responding". Yet if you force the closure of that particular project and reopen a new one, you find that those media that failed to import into Organize in the first project now are live and well in the Organize of the new project. You can drag them from the Organize to the Timeline and use them in this new project. All other functions of Premiere Elements 9 PC appear unaffected by this import failure. AND, source media can be video (any format and size) and photos (any size). This happens even with import of the first and only file being a jpg (800 x 600 pixels).
    My history of Premiere Elements 9 PC/baddrivers.txt file/ and "incompatible driver messages" is well documented in these forums. That involved Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit and a NVIDIA display card. And, I have been moving along successfully with Premiere Elements 9 PC for several months. About two weeks ago, I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit Intel Graphics Card, and Premiere Elements has been performing great until yesterday when what I call "major importer failure" struck. The computer has about 800 GB free hard drive space and about 2.5 GB out of 4.0 GB of available RAM. All of this worked great for about two weeks and now suddenly this yesterday. Did I do anything different or unusual? I think not. I also have Premiere Elements 7 and 8 on this same new computer, and they continue to function perfectly in all respects, whereas Premiere Elements 9 does not. AND, yes I have had the Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Update installed and in use before and after the importer failure.
    Troubleshooting has included
    a. Uninstall/Reinstall from Premiere Elements 9 installation disc + uninstall/reinstall of QuickTime + Photoshop Elements 9 as well.
    b. System Restore (as well as a restore of an earlier version of the installed Premiere Elements 9.
    c. Removal of possible interferring program, such as, Nero InCD.
    d. Removal of recent Windows Updates
    e. Uninstall/reinstall of Intel driver since at one point in the failure the Edit Mode Monitor was displaying part of the Disc Menu Section while the program was in the Organize Mode.
    f. Have looked at permissions, running as Administrator, etc.
    One of the things that I will try this morning is installing Premiere Elements 9 PC on the previous system Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit to see if there is any major importer failure there at this time.
    If anyone has the time, I would appreciate any comments on a troubleshooting avenue that I may have overlooked. This appears to be another Deja Vu all over again. I hope not.
    Thanks.

    Neale
    Thank you for your interest in this issue.
    I still have not pin pointed why my Premiere Elements 9 works great EXCEPT it will not import media into the Organize with Get Media/Files and Folders and attempts to do that drive the program into unresponsiveness and extreme difficult closure, even with the Task Manager.
    Yes, I have already looked at the workaround that you suggested for moving forward in my Premiere Elements 9 PC project, that is, entering all my source media into the Elements Organizer (can do from Photoshop Elements side) so that the source media thumbnail will be in the Premiere Elements Organize "ahead of time", and I will not have to depend upon Get Media/Files and Folders to get that job done.
    But, until I hit the key to this, I think I have an almost perfect better way. My computer is now Windows 7 Professional 64 bit that comes with the Windows XP Mode. Essentially what you have in this mode is a virtual Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit machine (best I can determine, Microsoft Generic Card). I can install Premiere Elements 9 (same serial number as on the Windows 7), and IT WORKS, no problem with the Get Media/Files and Folders. The one glitch in this perfect solution is setting up to burn to DVD. The Windows 7 Windows XP Mode Virtual Machine will not recognize installed internal DVD/CD drives when you go to write a DVD. The explanation is that the optical drive in XP Mode is a virtual device - read only. I have confirmed this. In order to use Premiere Elements 9 PC burn to disc in this Windows XP Mode , my answer here appears to be plugging in an external DVD burner USB and then using the USB Attach of the Windows XP Mode.
    When Premiere Elements 9 PC was released, I was forced into much troubleshooting of the display issues which are very widely documented here. But then I was using "a real" Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit" with a NVIDIA card. In the trial version, the BadDrivers.txt and VideoRenderer.dll got me through that episode. For me, the purchased version "essentially" was not afflicted with these same problems, and it has been running great. Now when I go to a new computer system for better performance/greater computer resources (by the way, Intel HD Graphics card), Premiere Elements 9 runs great for two weeks and then this no Get Media/Files and Folders matter sets in accompanied by program going completely knocked out by the event. In all of this, old or new, I have Premiere Elements 7, 8, and 9 installed on the same computer. While Premiere Elements 9 is being hit with these issues, Premiere Elements 7 and 8 are not , same computer environment, same source media, same project preset, et al. For me, the Premiere Elements 9.0.1 has not hit the mark.
    I have done extensive troubleshooting of the this current matter, too long and involved to go into now. I am preparing a full detailed description of the issue and the troubleshooting that went into the search for a fix. I will be posting it at the forum that I frequent. When I post it there, I will supply a link to it for whomever is interested. I have filed a bug report with Adobe on this matter in abridged format as per the space provided in its bug report online form.
    Thanks again for posting.

  • Error exporting long movie in Premiere Elements 4

    I just finished editing a movie in Premiere Elements 4.  Every time I try to export the movie, it begins rendering, gets as far as about 15%, and then says "Export Error: Error compiling movie.  Unknown error."  This happens no matter what format I choose.
    I've read that this problem can be caused by titles and transitions, of which this movie has both.  But I think the problem is entirely due to the movie's length, which is six minutes and fifty-five seconds.  I say this because if I split the movie into 25-to-50-second chunks, leaving all titles and transitions intact, all the chunks export with no problems whatsoever.
    I'm not running any other programs while the movie exports, but that doesn't help.
    The source files are MOV (and one PNG), and the resolution is 1920x1080.  I want to export it at the same resolution, otherwise what was the point of shooting in that resolution?  I'm running Windows Vista on a Samsung R522 laptop, if it helps.
    For what it's worth, I did manage to successfully export the audio portion of the movie as a WAV file.
    What can I do?  My movie is due to premiere at a local arts festival in a few weeks, so I need to sort this out.  I read somewhere that the ideal setup is to have three drives -- one for the source videos, one for running the program, and one to export the file onto.  Will that help?
    Many thanks for any suggestions you may have.
    -Grant

    Thanks Bill -- and thank you mods for moving the thread.  I couldn't find an Elements forum so I assumed there wasn't one.
    Actually, the progress bar in my version does tell you what frame it's on.  When I tried to export it just now, it gave up around frame 2328 of 12447.  Frame 2328 would be 01:17:18... which is the middle of a clip, with no titles, no effects, and no transitions, just ordinary video and sound.  30%, the number you suggested, gives frame 3738, which is 02:04:18, which is a different clip but the same deal.
    The exact number varies from attempt to attempt anyway, which is why I think it's a "system memory" problem rather than a problem with a certain moment in the film.  As I said, each part of the film exported fine on its own.
    The videos are all MOV format, 1920x1080, ranging in size from 40 MB to 666 MB (maybe the devil is trying to stop me from exporting).  There are 41 of them, giving a total of 11.9 GB.  The single PNG is also 1920x1080 and 6.02 KB.  The movie's audio is actually muted -- the audio that I successfully exported before was just the original audio from the raw clips.
    I've got 55.3 GB of free space on my C drive and 580 GB of free space on my external drive; Premiere won't successfully export onto either of them.
    Thanks for the link to the KB article, but I'd read it before and it didn't really help.  As it says, "unknown error" really does mean just that.  And it's clear that none of my clips or effects are problematic since they all exported fine when split into chunks.
    I really do appreciate your help!  I don't know too much about computers so if I didn't give you the information you were looking for please let me know.
    Thanks so much,

  • YouTube uplaod error Premiere Elements 12

    So I've downloaded a few videos directly from my Premiere Elements 12 about 3 times to Youtube with success and now today suddenly I get an error after the video finished rendering and uploading as soon as the "transferring to Youtube" saying: "Error: Sorry, an error occur during the uploading process. Please try again later."
    It's been like this all day and I can't seem to find a solution.
    Also another strange thing happened where now It doesn't let me upload a video longer than 10 min after I uplaoded a 12 min one successfully then after that it restricted me. But even this doesn't matter if now it won't let me uplaod at all. Makes no sense?! Please help, thankyou!

    YouTube is a bit of a moving target, and they're constantly changing what does and does not work on the site.
    Have you tried just outputting your video using Publish & Share/Computer/AVCHD with the YouTube HD preset and then manually loading the video to the YouTube site? This should give you excellent results as well as its sidestepping whatever is interferring with your program/YouTube interface.

  • Premiere Elements 9 running extremely slow on Core i7 Win7 Quadro system

    Hello,
    We've had a single installation of Premiere Elements 9 for some time now and for love nor money we've been unable to get it working properly, i've tried all manner of driver combinations for graphics and motherboard and the problems persist. Basically, the software refreshes extremely slowly, you can't even consider scrubbing the timeline, this happens regardless of what is placed on the timeline, it can be a series of tiny little jpegs all the way up to 1080p mp4 or even raw video, Premiere Elements just does not want to play ball. Now, I trialled the software on another PC of bog-standard spec with built-in graphics card and it ran very well but on our MediaPC it is totally unusable. Any help at all would be apprciated/ The spec of the PC is as follows (plus all software and drivers are up-to-date):
    Windows 7 64bit (6.1.7600)
    Core i7 950
    8GB RAM
    NVidia Quadro FX1800 (8.17.12.9573)
    And we're using media files that are stored locally.
    Many thanks
    Andy

    What project settings are you selecting when you start up your Premiere Elements project? If you're selecting the correct project settings for your video, there will be NO red lines above your clips when you add them to your timeline. Is that the case in your project?
    You say you're using .mp4s as you source video, and that could be part of the problem. Most .mp4 formats (from smart phones or pocket camcorders, with the exception of the Flip) are not supported natively in Premiere Elements. What make and model of device produced this video?
    Also, you say your video is 1080p, which is also not supported by the program. HD video to be edited in Premiere Elements must be shot in 50i or 60i. Progressive scan frame rates in AVCHD files are not supported in version 9.
    Finally, you say the program even chokes on photos. Have you ensured that your photos are no larger than 1000x750 pixels? Even "small" JPEGs can be many times this size, and soft-rendering this video source can also choke the program.
    With a good match between source video and project settings, the program should fly like an eagle on your hardware.

    Frosty,
    Can you give us the full details of your Video footage. It appears to be from a video screen-cap program, of game play, but I could be wrong. The more detail, the better. Also, please let us know what your Project's Preset is.
    Next, how are you comparing the results, where you see that "red tint?"
    There can be differences between players, for instance, so knowing exactly where you are seeing your issue, might hold part of the key.
    As most video players are not using Color Managed Space, one does not usually see THAT big a difference, than say viewing a Still Image in Photoshop (Color Managed) vs Windows Image/FAX Viewer (non Color Managed). Still, there can be differences between players, for instance, if one views the same Video in WMP (Windows Media Player), I can almost guarantee that it will differ from playing that same Video in Apple's QuickTime Player.
    Good luck, and if you need more detail on gathering information on the Video, and the Project, please see this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3220274#3220274
