Premiere Elements 10 timeline playback pictures keep freezing

Hi, I'm using Premiere Elements 10 and when I playback my timeline, most of the time at least part of the video pictures freeze or judder whilst the sound stays continuous. This is obviously a total nightmare in terms of trying to edit! I am new to Elements (am used to editing on Avid and FCP) - am not very impressed so far!
I have established that it is not a problem with my laptop. Also - when I start up Elements it gives me a link to this page http://www.adobe.com/special/premiereel/downloads/ saying I need to update BUT all those updates seems to be for "themed content" - so I am assuming that a) I don't need them and b) that they are unrelated to the freezing issue - Is that right?
Any help hugely appreciated!
Thanks.

Thank you for the screen grab. You're right. The MOV video from the DSLR does seem to be matched to the project settings. (I assume you've got the latest version of Quicktime installed.) So it could be that your system is just lugging.
Your hardware is good for basic video editing -- but you're editing 1920x1080 24p. With version 10, that can be a bit demanding for a dual core running at 1.8 ghz. Particularly on a laptop, which tends to have a slower throughput.
You still haven't said what operating system you're using or how much RAM you have. But if you're running Windows 7 or 8 at 64-bit and you have at least 4 gigs of RAM, you may want to download the demo of Premiere Elements 11. It's got a much more efficient HD engine that runs at 64-bit on those OSes.
One of my computers is a dual-core Intel running at 2.6ghz, and the difference in the way it handles AVCHD video in Premiere Elements 10 and the way it handles it in Premiere Elements 11 is like day and night.
It's possible Bill or Neale or John or ATR or another of the regulars on this forum have additional thoughts. But, based on the questions you did answer, that's about all I can offer. Sorry.

    Order of Troubleshooting...
    (1) Video Card Driver Problem
    Does the computer use a NVIDIA GeForcce video card/graphics card? If so, stop and read the announcement at the top of this forum.
    It describes the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA video card driver problem and gives the fix. For your convenience the following is a
    copy/paste of the Announcement. Very important to rule in or out the known Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver issue.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing Premiere
    Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card
    driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow glitches specific
    to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user”
    remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has
    gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective
    action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

    when watching rented movie the picture keeps freezing, in about 30 seconds it plays again

    I just started have this same/simmilar issue to.  Was there a solution to the original question?  I have 2 ATVs.  One works without issue, the other... kicks me out repeatedly... to the point where the content will load for about 3 sec before kicking me all the way out.  Tried all the trouble shooting options including: checking latest software update, reset, hard restart, and checking router download speed (over 50 Mbps on speedtest.net).  Should mention this occurs most frequently when downloading Netflix content, but the same issue occurs downloading other content like PBS.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)

  • Premiere Elements 8 Playback Issues

    Hey everyone,
    I am trying to make a compilation of movie clips using Premiere Elements 8. When I add a movie, I crop it down to about a minute long and delete the rest. However, when I try to play back what I have, the video is very laggy and not synced with the audio, or there is often no audio whatsoever. These same videos work perfectly fine in Windows Movie maker. I tried clicking "Render Work Area", but that did nothing. Also, in the bottom right corner of the screen a bar keeps popping up that reads "conforming (name of video)". Any advice that you guys can offer will be much appreciated. Thanks!

  • Premiere CS6 timeline playback problem.

    I keep having a reoccurring problem with my timeline playback. After about 30 seconds or so of playback, the cursor returns to the point it started and the picture freezes, but the audio continues unhindered. I've tried numerous things. The most successful of these was uninstalling Quicktime, which improved the situation greatly, but not completely. Obviously I need Quicktime, but on installing it again the problem has reoccurred. Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks

  • When I insert photos into Premiere Elements timeline they become pixilated.  Has anyone a remedy?

    The photos I insert into the timeline in Elements become pixilated.  They looked fine in the organiser.  Has anyone a remedy to this problem please?

    Judie Sutton
    Thanks for the additional information.
    If rendering the Timeline content of those photos does not resolve the photo pixelation issue as per SG's question, then please read on.
    a. Do you have a mixed Timeline of photos and video? If so, what is the format of the video and how many of these
    2799 x 3500 photos are included? Do you get photo pixelation whether you have 1 or many of these photos on the Timeline?
    b. What happens to the Edit area monitor view of one of these photos if you right click the Edit area monitor, select Playback Quality, and then compare the choices of Automatic vs Highest Quality? If you right click the Edit area monitor and select Magnification, do you find the Magnification set at the default "Fit"?
    c. Have the photos been edited in Photoshop before being imported in Premiere Elements. If so, what was the extent of the Photoshop editing including effects applied and color profile?
    More later depending on your results and follow up.
    Thanks.

  • 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:

    Use Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to scale the pictures before you import into PreElements

    Also, do be aware that photo dpi (dots per inch) does NOT translate to video... I don't have the exact number handy, but I think a DVD resolution video is "about" 72 dpi (BluRay is higher, but since I don't do BluRay I have not even a guess at picture resolution)

  • Premiere Elements 9 - Playback only works on Admin account

    Hi, I'm running Premiere Elements on a couple of iMacs 2.93GHz, Core i7, 8GB RAM, OSX 10.6.8. This is in a library so we have student accounts on all of our machines. Under the admin account Premiere works fine, no crashing and playback is working. However, on the student side whenever the same clip is trying to be played the playhead does not move, it sticks on the first frame and there is no audio. The only visible difference is that the play icon changes to pause. I was wondering if anyone would know a good way around this. I have tried the 9.01 patch to no success. It seems that the student side does not have permissions to some component. Hoping someone could shed some light on this issue. Thanks in advance.

  • Premiere Elements 13 poor picture quality

    Hi Folks
    I recently bought Premier Elements 13 as a Christmas present for myself. I decided I wanted a stable program that would produce good quality video, and I was prepared to pay for it.
    However, my first couple of videos have been disappointing.
    I have Elements installed on my Windows (7)  PC.
    I use MP4 video files from my camera which play well on my PC.
    However once imported into PE13, the video files lose picture quality, and the final edited product looks awful. I have tried publishing as MPEG, AVI and MP4 with the same poor results.
    I guess I must be doing something wrong as I thought PE13 was supposed to be good!
    Any advice (in very basic language) would be gratefully received.
    Thanks very much
    Adrian

    Adrian
    Great news that you were able to produce an excellent .mp4 file with your Premiere Elements 13.
    The keys to success are getting a match between the project preset and the properties of the source video (whether you do that manually or the project does it automatically).
    The project will take over this task unless you intervene. Sometimes the project does it right, sometimes not...for the not, that is when you set the project preset manually.
    You have to evaluate the description in the Publish+Share/ area in making your choices there. Some of the choices require customization of the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab/Audio Tab/Multiplexer Tab. That is because the default settings of a preset may be for a lower resolution than your source video. And, you can generate .mp4 under Publish+Share/Computer/Mobile Phones and Players as well as under Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD.
    The above is an assortment of miscellaneous information. If you decide to want to explore settings other than for .mp4, then we can discuss them in details when your
    schedule permits.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Playback Stops

    I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on a new HP workstation. I've created several projects without problems. I've recently had some lost media files and re-installed Premiere Elements.  Now when I click play, it plays for a short time and then stops. I click again and it plays for a short time and stops again. Any suggestions?

    Mary
    Thanks for the replies.
    Typically, I think about Scratch Disks as storage places to where the project automatically sends its files generated as part of one of its activities - thinking
    preview files, conformed audio, autosaves, encoded files. An Adobe document describes them as per the following link.
    Adobe Premiere Elements 11 * Working with scratch disks
    You do not want your computer bogged down by pile ups of these files from project to project.
    With your next projects, I would look at beforehand pointing all the Scratch Disks (Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks) to that E drive with the 1.8 TB space (assumed
    most of it free).
    With those clips with the .mod file extension, right click the file name, select Rename from the drop down list.
    When you select Rename, typically the name part of the file, not the file extension, is highlighted for the type in.
    file name.mod. In that case, with your mouse cursor, click between the . and the mod and drag the mouse curser
    to the right over the mod. Then type mpeg or .mpg.
    A good starting place to explore for best settings for your described source might be
    Project Preset set manually to
    NTSC
    DV Standard
    or you might want to experiment with
    NTSC
    FLIP
    Flip Mino and Ultra 29_97p
    Please check out the how to for manual setting of the project preset. That is found at bottom of the following link
