Premiere Elements 10 sluggish Timeline...why?

I just built a new computer with:
-Windows 7 Professional
-Intel Core i7-3770
8GB DDR3 RAM
SanDisk 128 SSD
WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD
GTX 650 1GB (I know not necessary since PreE doesn't use it for rendering)
Specifically, when I am using the timeline, zooming in and out, moving it to the left and right, it becomes very sluggish.  Also, when I move the time line cursor it lags behind significantly. My Project setting is on DV - Standard 48kHz. My video is in AVI format approxamatly an hour long. This is very surprising since before I was editing on my 2009 Macbook Pro 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB, 500HDD.  On my Macbook I was editing Raw DV footage with Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorders - Standard 48kHz project setting.  I had no lag what so ever in respect to what I experienced on my PC build. What could be the matter with it? During editing, I have the CPU meter and GPU meter(I know PreE doesn't use GPU for rendering) on as well but that's about it. I upgraded my editing computer to experience faster rendering and export times not to have to trade off for a sluggish timeline experience! Help!!!

Recent generations of SSD's are quite good, and their capacities have gone up, plus the price has gone down. Their reliability for long-term writing has also improved greatly. Having one as the system/boot disc is a good move, and I recommend having all programs, the OS and probably the Page File (Windows Virtual Memory) on one.
I use HDD's for both my Project and Scratch disks, and then another for my media, for a 3x arrangement, i.e. C:\SSD, D:\SATA III HDD, E:\SATA III HDD.
Spreading the I/O load will usually greatly improve overall performance, and that appears to be what you have done already. The performance gain is biggest, if one goes from just one disc, to two, with a much smaller impact, if they add 3, or more. Personally, I like the 3x (or more) arrangement, but the Bang For The Buck is less, than just adding a second physical HDD. At a point, there are diminishing returns, and when one gets to a bunch of multiple drives, even in RAID, the user does not see THAT much of an improvement, though they do show up in benchmarks.
Unless you have partitioned any of your drives, I do not think that your C:\SSD and D:\SATA (II, or III) HDD's will be the bottleneck. You don't have any partitons, do you?
For performance of the GUI, I find that the video driver (so long as one has at least 1GB VRAM) is the first bottleneck. Next can be installed RAM, but with a 64-bit OS and at least 8GB RAM, most RAM bottlenecks will not show up, until one goes to Share/Publish the Timeline. Then, more RAM can improve things, but that is not seen in the GUI performance.
You have already ruled out the video driver (the main cause for GUI display issues), and have a good I/O sub-system, so I am at a loss to explain what you are seeing. Maybe some real hardware gurus will see a bottleneck, and can advise you on how to handle things.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Premiere Elements 11 Mac Timeline rendering issue

    Every time I try to render my video in Premiere Elements 11 on my Mac the program shuts down.  Please help,

    briank
    What are the formats on the Premiere Elements 11 Mac Timeline whose contents you are rendering to get the best possible preview? Do you have this problem with specific media source, and does the problem go away in a new project?
    When you drag your file as the first file dragged to the Timeline, do you get an orange line over it or is there no colored line over it then?
    If at this point there is an orange line over that content and you Timeline render, is that when you get the crash?
    Or, does the crash occurs when you are doing a Timeline render because you have just edited one of the Timeline components? If this is the case,
    what effects did you apply to the source and what edits did you perform on it?
    If you go to the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder in the Adobe Folder, how many preview files are piled up there?
    Is your computer connected to the Internet? And, are you getting messages about rendering activation needed at the Timeline level?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Premiere Elements stops playing timeline randomly

    Hi,
    since some days, Premiere Elements 10 stops randomly the replay of the timeline. Sometimes after 1 second, sometimes 20 seconds. And always on different positions ... between to cuts, at a transition, ... not reproducible.
    I'm using PE10 for years with the same machine and the same MOV-Videos from my Canon cameras ... simple cutting, arranging, transitions, nothins spectecular.
    My machine is a Window 8 64bit PC, i7 CPU and 8GB RAM with a GeForce 9500GT.
    The only thing, I changed was the operating system from Windows 7 to Windows 8 some weeks ago.
    Isn't PE10 not compatible with Windows 8? Or what can be the problem behind the random stopping of the replay?
    Thanks
    Konrad

    Thank you Steve, for your fast response.
    I don't think, its a mismatch between video and project settings, because:
    a) I created new projects, imported the mov-files and where asked to adapt the project settings to match the video (awnsered to do it)
    b) I tried many "old" PE10 projects that worked for months ... same result ... stopping replay after some seconds or less.
    My camcorders are a Canon EOS 500D and a Canon S95 ... both not connected but imported the plain MOV-files into the PE project.
    If I drop the videos into the timeline, there are no redlines above ... only if I apply transitions between to clips there is a small red line as long as the transition.
    I also tried to pre-render the workspace by hitting ENTER (a thing I never had to do before) but this also doesn't help.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 10: Buggy timeline?

    So, after spending 1-2 months on trying to get PRE8 to work with FRAPS and setting it up, I have met nothing but trouble.
    So I thought that it would be a good time to update myself, maybe. I decided to try a newer version of the program and
    downloaded a trial for PRE10. I think it's great. My renders are improving in speed and quality and the playback is alot
    better. BUT. The timeline is really buggy, and it is really, really, really annoying me. It takes more than double the time
    to edit my footage and it just looks disorienting.
    How do I fix this?

    PRE uses codecs installed with QuickTime to render it's own displays. I believe it is to do with H.264 clips and so may be relevant to FRAPS clips which I think are highly compressed. It is this high compression and no direct editing of the FRAPS formats that makes it ill suited to PRE.
    So yes, I say install the latest version. And as for those other drivers - did you check at the manufacturer's download sites? You cannot rely on Windows Updates to keep your drivers current. They are usually many months, sometimes years, out of date and worse, the occasional driver update from the Windows Update site can install older or incompatible drivers.
    So go to the relevant site (AMD, nvidia, or Intel) and check - it only takes a moment.
    Cheers,

  • Premiere Elements 11 + Windows 8 pro = slow timeline scrolling!

    Hi!
    I experience slow redraw of the timeline clips when I scroll,
    which makes it very difficult, slow and unpleasant to edit!
    This in nothing new to you all, as I have read in many posts about this problem!
    And everyone is asking (below these posts) questions like:
    "do you have the latest QuickTime codecs?" or "do you have the latest graphics drivers?"
    or that our pc are slow or that we work with strange video formats or to change to no thumbnail in the clips or that its
    the antivirus fault or whatever.
    It is not all these!
    As I have read:
    -It can happen in many versions of Premiere Elements(maybe in all of them, I don't know)
    -It can happen in both ATI/AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards
    -It can happen in all hardware configurations CPU/motherboards
    -It can happen in all windows versions and both 32/64 bit
    So I am guessing it is not our fault.
    Can Adobe finally fix this problem with an update? It's been so many versions until now!
    please... Is it so difficult?
    Can't the programmers see what are we talking about? Can't they fix the programme?
    Before I bought Premiere Elements 11 I had the 9 version in windows 7(64bit)
    The same problem, slow/laggy timeline redraw when moving back and forth.
    The solution I found was to disable the Aero feature in windows 7!
    And oh my god... the timeline then was so fast and smooth, I was so happy to edit!
    So I compromised with that(disabling aero).
    Recently I have upgrad the same PC to windows 8 pro(64 bit) AND bought Premiere Elements 11. (hoping for speed in every possible way!)
    The slow timeline scrolling still happens in both PRE9 and in PRE11.
    And guess what? in windows 8 pro you can't disable the "aero feature"!!!
    You can only change some visual settings, and even if I disable all of them, nothing changes!
    So are we really stuck with the laggy timeline scrolling in windows 8???
    Premiere Elements 11 is so much faster in all other things (exept the timeline scrolling)
    In the preview window for example. It can play really smooth, in real time WITHOUT render preview
    some pretty difficult compositions I make! multiple layers, with greenbox and many other filter effects!
    Which in Premiere Elements 9 (in the same PC) the preview play was very laggy!
    (don't forget that with aero disabled in PE9(win7), same PC, same complicated compositions, timeline scrolling superfast!)
    I think they made some pretty good graphic card use in the preview play in PRE11!
    I present and edit a youtube show with Premiere Elements with demanding compositing and everyone thinks I use Premiere Pro CS 
    version or After Effects CS. But I don't, I want to be legal and I can't aford the prices of these applications
    so I buy and use the Elements series which are very powerful as well, if you know what to do and HOW to do it!
    See for youselves my show I posted today(in Greek, I am from Greece), which I edited in PRE11.(pefrect greenbox, perfect!)
    http://youtu.be/HdKAKI6P8tU?hd=1&t=1m28s (open in a new window)
    or move time to 1:28 from the below youtube video window.
    But unfortunattely the timeline scrolling made my editing unpleasant and slow!
    My question is: Will I, (now that I have upgraded to windows 8 pro 64bit) have to edit ALL my next shows/videos
    with the slow/laggy timeline scrolling??? please tell me something to hope for...

    I have an ATI/AMD FirePro  v4800 1GB GDDR5 with the latest drivers for this card (8.982.8.3)
    Is my video card not compatible?
    this slow redraw of the timeline happened way before
    and everytime a new driver version came up I had installed it but that didn't change anything.
    Only with aero disabled I would enjoy a fast timeline scrolling in windows 7. (now, not possible in windows 8 pro)
    Bill how can you explain this? Same video card and everytime with the SAME NEW drivers, aero on=slow timeline, aero off=fast timeline!
    Is there some kind of a fix that we can always wait from our graphics card companies to include to new drivers??? (for how long???)
    or maybe is it all up to Adobe and its own programme?
    Are we all supposed to have old video display drivers?
    Can someone make some kind of a poll for people who have this problem to vote to see where this problem apears, in which configurations, in which graphics cards? (assuming they have latest drivers)
    so we all finally know what/where is the problem.
    I love the premiere elements series and thats why I want this to be solved.

  • Premiere Elements 9 Tryout Serious Display Problem

    I will confine my editorializing to "Deja vu, all over again" and describe the Premiere Elements 9 problem that sounds like I was reliving the release of Premiere Elements 8.
    I downloaded and installed Premiere Elements 9 tryout, and it worked great for about 7 days. With no changes in the computer environment, suddenly when Premiere Elements 9 was loading a new project, it would stop at PlayerMediaCore.prm and pop up a message:
    "We have detected an incompatible driver. To get a better and faster playback performance, please update your display driver. Display driver details: NVIDIA Corporation GeForce....." and it went on to fully name my video card driver. When I clicked on OK, the program continued to load completely and opened to the workspace where the Edit Mode Monitor performance was, best described as, wacky....Timeline content that would not present in the Edit Mode Monitor, Preview Windows that froze in the Edit Mode Monitor, etc. And, Edit Mode Full Screen Previews did not work at all. The technical irony in all this was that I have Premiere Elements 6, 7, and 8/8.0.1 all installed on the same computer, and all were still performing great when I was using them one at a time as a control.
    When I went to Hardware/Device Manager and attempted to "update" my NVIDIA card driver, the "update" that installed automatically was older than what is was replacing. BUT, now Premiere Elements 9 did work as expected. HOWEVER, now my Premiere Elements 6, 7, and 8/8.0.1 were crashing at various times from loading to opening of the workspace. I am still hunting for a replacement NVIDIA driver that will fix the Premiere Elements 9 display issue and not kill my Premiere Elements 6, 7, and 8/8.0.1.
    In investigating this matter, I noticed that the Premiere Elements 8/8.0.1 "Enable GPU Playback" is gone in version 9. And, now, if you right click the Premiere Elements 9 Edit Mode Monitor, you have a Playback Quality option of Automatic or Highest. That tells me that Adobe was at work making changes in the name of better. And, I am wondering if what I am encountering is related to Adobe's attempted improvements in display which was one of the issues in Premiere Elements 8.0 when it was released. Or, could this be related to making AVCHD a native format? Lots of possibilities.
    The above is my long way of saying "Has anyone run into this type of situation with Premiere Elements 9, any workarounds found (other than buying a new video card just for Premiere Elements 9, ???"
    At this point, I know of one other person who got a similar message from Premiere Elements 9 and resolved the problem by updating the NVIDIA card driver. But that still raises the question "Do we need a special video card driver just for Premiere Elements 9?" and "Why?"

    To Vijay and A.T. Romano:
    I am happy to help out any way I can. First, I do plan on installing PE9.0 on 2 other computers, both running Windows XP. Currently, both of these computers (Dell desktop and laptop) have PE2.0 running, with no problems. I will try to do these installations later on today.
    The 2 new computers have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. While I have installed PE2.0 on these computers, the program runs slowly. I assume PE2.0 and Windows 7 are not compatible. As I mentioned before, PE 9.0 runs fine on the Dell desktop. It does not play videos on the Sony laptop.
    The contents of the text file are..
    ##FALSE#0#0#0
    The error message when the program is launched is..
    Display driver details :NVIDIA Corporation – GeForce GT 330M/PCI/SSE2 3.0 NVIDIA 188.67
    I do hope this help. I can only guess that the problem is wide spread.
    Thank you again.

  • Problem with Premiere Elements 11 uploading mp4 files

    I tried to upload a video footage for editing. The video was taken using a GoPro camera and the output is mP4. The footage playback on Premiere Elements 11 was choppy and stalled often. I asked someone else with the same program and he experienced the same issue- so much so that he quit using Adobe's software and switched to Mac/iMovie. Any thought on why or how to fix the problem? I emailed Adobe support a couple of times for the problems encountered in both Premiere and Photoshop but have gotten no response from them. Thanks.

    Gumbie10
    Appreciated the follow up. Would like to offer some considerations....
    1. If you are looking at choppy video, then you must be on the Premiere Elements 11 Expert Timeline or Quick Filmstrip in order to see the choppy video in the Edit Mode monitor. Consequently, to see the video you had to import it.
    a. How did you import it? Add Media/Files and Folders to get the files into Project Assets from where you dragged the files to the Expert Timeline. (In the Quick Filmstrip route, there is no Project Assets intermediary. It is Add Media/Files and Folder/with direct to one of the scenes in the Filmstrip).
    b. Once you had the files on the Expert Timeline or Quick Filmstrip, did you render the files there by hitting the Render button or by hitting the Enter key of the computer main keyboard?
    2. Premiere Elements 11 automatically takes over setting up the project preset for a new project. The project preset should match the properties of the source media. Sometimes it does the set OK; sometimes, not. Check to see what the program has set if you did not set the project preset yourself manually. (Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size.)
    3. If you are using the GoPro Hero 3 Black at the 1080p set, then the video codec (compression) is AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/.H264). The question becomes at what frame rate...30, 60, or other progressive frames per second. From what you wrote, apparently what you have has a .mp4 file extension (that is what is called the container, the format that wraps the video and audio compressions).
    4. Then we come to the matter of your photos. What are the pixel dimensions that you are trying to use for this Premiere Elements project? Have you gotten to importing the photos or is it only the videos that you have tried to import into a Premiere Elements 11 project?
    Please review the above.
    But, I am also concerned about
    Meantime, for still images, I did my editing on PS Element 11 and used Live Movie Maker to put together the video. It works for me. I had trouble with the output (to burn DVD/Cd and to upload to PS showcase) in the PS Element as well.
    Thanks again for the input. I'll give an update later.
    Do you want two separate projects, one for video and one for stills or is all that a workaround for overall issues.?
    Please do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything that I have written. I will rewrite if necessary so that we are in sync.
    The answers are in the details.
    More later.

  • How to reduce re-rendering clips in Premiere Elements 12

    Each time I restart a Project in Premiere Elements 12 the timeline indicates that I need to re-render the clips. Is there away to avoid excess rendering? Thanks.

    don_
    Your question is a long standing issue that seemed to have peaked around Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 and seems to be independent of computer operating system, scratch disk locations, and QuickTime versions among other things. And Adobe has not come out with an explanation to date as far as I have ever seen.
    But, let me make sure that I am interpreting your question correctly.
    Are you saying that, after you save/close a project whose Timeline had been rendered for preview purposes, the re-opened project presents with an orange line over the Timeline content with the implication that you are looking at an unrendered Timeline? If that is the case, please read on.
    I will dig out the unabridged version of what I have written about this in the past. But, for now, the abridged version.
    1. Although the color indicator implies that the Timeline content is "unrendered", that is, you are not getting the best possible preview of what you are seeing in the Edit Mode monitor preview, the preview files that were originally generated are alive and well in their hard drive save location. Best guess is that the link between the preview files and the project are getting broken and are not repairable, short of rendering the Timeline content again if absolutely necessary for preview purposes.
    2. In the re-opened project, rendering again to turn the orange line to green (best possible preview) can be done for the whole of the afflicted content or selectively (just segment) by setting the WorkArea Bar gray tabs to span just the area to be rendered.
    3. My philosophy on this is to move on or re-render all or part if indicated. You have rendered the area previously and should know what that is going to look like...unless of course you make changes in the re-opened project.
    This one has an unforgetable history going back several versions and apparently surfacing again in the present and still without the whys.
    Please review and let us know if I have targeted you question.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Elements 11 (Windows 64 bit): Frequent glitches after rendering

    I am currently trying to render around 20 videos, around 12 hours in total duration (video lengths vary from 5 minutes to 105 minutes).
    Unfortunately, about 50% of the time, when i watch a newly rendered video, there will be some sort of graphical glitch. For example, a clip will be missing from start to finish, replaced with a blank beige screen (definitely not in the timeline), or a random graphical glitch where some of the visuals become warped for a couple of a seconds.
    Here is a screen shot of a glitch
    And here is a screen shot of my render settings:

  • How do I get continuous replay of a video created in Premiere Elements 13?

    I created a video in Premiere elements 13 and I would like it to play continuously.  Elements 10 had a specific marker that could be added to the end of the video and cause it to go back to the beginning.  I don't know how to accomplish this in Elements 13.

    Mortsphotos
    Bottom line: I see no difference between 10 and 13 in what you may be asking about.
    Please read the longer reply below, and then we can discuss this further.
    Details
    If you are talking about looping video....
    I have never run into the looping feature that you attribute to Premiere Elements 10 Editor (or any other version).
    Was this supposed to be a Premiere Elements 10 Editor Timeline content looping feature for viewing only within the project or a feature that allowed the export to loop without intervention of the player after the export?
    For looping of files
    a. find a repeat button on the player
    b. repeat the Timeline content on the Timeline as many times as you want a repeat and then export the whole Timeline.
    c. if you want to have a looping DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, consider
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: Looping DVD-VIDEO on DVD Disc
    If you are talking about disc menu navigation of a disc menu...
    I wonder if the above is really what you are asking about. Are you asking about placing stop markers at the end of a particular movie in a multi movie Timeline so that the viewer
    selects one Timeline movie from a choice of many, the selected movie plays, and, when playback of that particular movie is finished, it returns the viewer to the main menu? For that
    you put a stop marker at the end of the individual movies on the Timeline. You never put a stop marker at the end of the last item on the Timeline. Problems if you do.
    Please review and consider. Please supply more details. And, then we will discuss this further. If you need clarification on anything that I have written, please do not hesitate to ask.
    We can go at whatever pace that you want in the troubleshooting.

  • Adobe premiere elements 10  Quality and audio issues

    Im using adobe premiere elements 10 and im trying to edit my videos that i got form the elgato ive allays had no problems until two days ago when i import a video to work on it the quality goes to **** and the audio gets messed up  and i when i check the video on elgato its perfect  so something is going wrong and i need your help to fix it.

    op c
    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running? And, what video card/graphics card does this computer use? NVIDIA GeForce?
    If so, stop and let us know.
    From what I have read, if you are using Elgato Video Capture, you are probably working on a Mac computer capturing H.264 or MPEG-4 640 x 480 with AAC audio. Is that correct? If so, what is the file extension of the capture that you put on the Premiere Elements 10 Mac Timeline?
    Have you changed any of the default settings for Elgato Video Capture under its preferences?
    How does this recent bad video's properties compare with others from the good video with which you had no problems?
    What is the project preset that you are setting in either case?
    Can you still bring the "good" Elgato captures into a Premiere Elements 10 Mac project and  they are still "good" while the recent ones on that
    same Timeline look not so good?

  • Need help installing plugins into Premiere Elements 11

    I'm editing a music video in Premiere Elements 11, and I'm dissatified with the usual transitions. I went on the internet and found new transition plugins. The problem now is that I don't know how to import the transition plugins into Premiere Elements. I need instructions on to how to do so... If someone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it

    Thanks Hunt for replying. I received the plug-ins from Filmimpact.net, and yes there are installing instructions. The picture of the instructions is posted below. The problem here is that I don't have an adobe extention manager. I have an adobe elements organizer, but no adobe extention manager. Now, I know you may say to yourself that the specific plug-ins are for Premiere Pro, but I have read that Premiere Pro plug-ins may also work on Premiere Elements and that's why I'm giving it a shot.

  • Newb: Youtube HD for Premiere Elements 4.0

    Sorry instantly to demonstrate my noobiness.
    I would like to export a short video so that it can be displayed on Youtube using HD. My difficulty is the amazing shallowness of my understanding.
    I understand the recommended output resolution is 1280 x 720 (720p) and the format is H.264, MPEG 2 or MPEG -4
    I am using Premiere Elements 4.0. It does not seem to offer H.264 resolution in 720p format. My options are H.264 1080i 25 and 30. THis output produces a file that plays the audio track but no video.
    MPEG-4 format doesn't seem to be available at all. I gather I may need quicktime for that.
    MPEG-2 format is available, described as "MPEG2 Multimedia Compatible" but that will not me to select 1280 x 720 resolution.
    Is anyone using the PremElements Presets successfully to upload Youtube HD video?
    Help!
    Sean

    Hi Sean,
    YouTube will convert any file that you upload into flv. Premiere Elements convert the timeline into flv and then uploads it to YouTube.
    Upload to Youtube works very well with Premiere Elements. In case you want to try uploading HD size file you can use export setting options using SHARE>Personal Computer and select the option. Once export is done, you can upload this file to Youtube using the website.

    I want to drag photos and videos into my Premiere Elements 12 movie timeline and then be able to autosize them so they fit properly in the movie. I've been using IMovies prior to Elements 12 and was able to do it there. Any thing like hat in Elements 12? Thanks

    Topflightup
    Thanks for the reply.
    As I have said before, for automatic sizing of the import to the frame size/pixel aspect ratio of the project preset, you have a check mark next to Default Scale to Frame Size in Edit Menu/Preferences/General. With that preference in effect, the program will try to make the fit as best it can. If you are importing a 3:2 or 4:3 image into a 16:9 project, the best that the program can do is make the fit with black borders.
    But....
    In the Edit area monitor, you could then zoom into the image until the black borders are gone.
    In the Edit area monitor, you could work with Default Scale to Frame Size disabled before import and then import the file and scale it to fit the Edit area monitor space which is defined by the project preset. The bottom line is that the program allows for one project preset, and, when you have content with different properties, then you set priorities and fit everything else into it.
    It is often preferable to crop the image before import into a Premiere Elements project. The Photoshop Elements Editor crop tool is convenient for this, for example, crop to 1920 x 1080 16:9. But, this is a one by one operation. There are batch cropping/resizing programs, but often one crop setting for one photo is not always suitable for the view for each of the rest.
    What are the pixels dimensions of your photos?
    The easiest and quickest way might be to import as is (assuming your project project preset is appropriate for the prime source media) and then scale the photo in the Edit area monitor. Computer resources may or may not factor into the considerations on this...depends on how many photos, pixel dimensions of each, and the level of the computer resources. On a positive note, Premiere Elements 12/12.1 on Windows 8.1 64 bit is a 64 bit application which translates into better computer resources than otherwise.
    Please let us know the details of these photos and then we will make additional comments if necessary.
    Thank you.
