Premiere Elements 11 burning a DVD resolution issue

Why is it when I take an Elements 11 slide show wmv file and burn it to a DVD, using the maximum resolution and selecting the NTSC widescreen Dolby DVD option, the resolution degrades?

TysenM
Thanks for the follow up.
What are these fixes for both Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 to which you refer? Just curious about that.
Let us back up a little.
What are the pixel dimensions of your photos and how many of them do you have in this presentation? For now I am assuming that you dealing with photos that have pixel dimension equal of greater than 1920 x 1080. Please let us know if that is not the case.
I would like you to take a few as is and import them into a Premiere Elements 11 project with the project preset that you set manually.
a. File Menu/New/Project
b. In the new project dialog, set for NTSC/DSLR/1080p/DSLR 1080p30. Be sure to place a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Settings on this Project" before you exit the new project dialog.
c. Then back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders/ to get some of those photos into Project Assets and from there to the Timeline.
d. If an orange line exists over the Timeline content, then render that Timeline content by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard.
See what that looks like at playback in the Edit Mode monitor?
Are you making your comparisons based on what you see in the monitor or are you actually taking the Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc (Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc). From what you wrote, it sounds like you are. What are you using for viewing?
Here I would ask this question...just before you would hit Burn in the burn dialog, what does the Quality Area in the burn dialog show for Space Required and Bitrate?
Thanks.

  • Premiere Elements 11 Slide Show Resolution Issue

    Whenever I make a slide show using Premiere Elements 11, it significantly reduces the resolution of my pictures.  How do I fix this?

    Pat
    A workflow for you to explore....
    Premiere Elements 11 presumed on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit in a NTSC setup
    1. Batch crop/resize your photos to 1920 x 1080 16:9
    2. Open Premiere Elements 11 its Expert workspace
    Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings
    In Change Settings, set the project preset to
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR 1080p30 @29.97
    In the new project dialog that you see immediately before closing out of that area, make sure to have a check
    mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project".
    3. Back in the Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets to import your 100
    photos into the project. (You can arrange your photos in order in a folder and then import the folder into the
    project. When your drag that folder from Project Assets to the Timeline, the folder disappears and you have
    all your photos on the Timeline in order. In your naming of the files, you might want to consider 0001 to 0100.
    4. When it comes to export...
    For 856 x 480 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second (when the video is stretch for display after encoding)
    Publish+Share
    Disc
    DVD disc
    with preset = NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD
    For 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second - plays on Blu-ray or multimedia player, not DVD player
    Publish+Share
    Disc
    AVCHD disc (this is going to be for DVD disc)
    with preset = H.264 1920 x 1080i NTSC Dolby
    For 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second - plays on Blu-ray or multimedia player, not DVD player
    Publish+Share
    Disc
    Blu-ray (this is going to be for Blu-ray disc)
    with preset = H.264 1920 x 1080i NTSC Dolby
    The Premiere Elements 11 project preset which is the same for all of the outputs, gives the sharpest end product
    photos at the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc level. Photo clarity should be the major perk of what is described above.
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • Can premiere elements make quality DVDs from photos?

    Can you make excellent quality DVD's from photos using Premiere Elements 10 using a Mac?"

    You should not have any issues.
    If you are using only Still Images, here are the tips:
    Set up your Project as either NTSC, or PAL DVD, in either Widescreen 16:9, or Standard 4:3. For most current still cameras, the Widescreen 16:9 would be the more likely candidate, but also consider the TV's, that your viewers will likely have. If there are a ton of older, 4:3 CRT TV's in that mix, then consider them.
    Scale all of your Still Images to about the Frame Size of your Project, so ~ 720 x 480 for NTSC. See this ARTICLE.
    Import those into the Project.
    Drag those to the Timeline, and edit, as required.
    Add any Scene Selection Markers.
    When edited, go to Create Menus, and choose either a Wide, or Standard (depends on which you chose) Menu Set, then adjust, as is required.
    When authored, Burn to Disc.
    Remember, your Still Images are probably much higher resolution, than DVD, so do not expect HD quality material. However, if you/your viewers have an up-rezzing DVD, or BD player, properly hooked up, the resultant DVD will look spectacular.
    Good luck,

  • Adobe Premiere Elements - burning disc

    I have burned a project onto a disc and after 99% burned a message appeared to say 'An empty directory is required' - don't know how to proceed?

    Judie Sutton
    What version of Premiere Elements is involved and on what computer operating system is it running?
    What was your burn to....DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, AVCHD format on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
    Before you hit the Burn button of the Burn Dialog, what did the Quality Area Space Required and Bitrate read?
    What type of disc are you using DVD-R, DVD-RW, or something else? Was the disc previously written to?
    Where are your Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks/Encoding Files directed and how much free space is at that location?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.

  • Problem encountered with Adobe premiere Element 4 et DVD sony Handicam

    I have a sony Handycam DCR/DVD203E . Window Vista edition familiale premium service pack 1 .Adobe Première Elements 4 .
    I take 10 rushes of 2 minutes each . I finalised the DVD for importing it on my computer under Adobe Elements 4 .
    When i do " add médias " , I only get two files , one called VTS_01_1.VOB which is the total of my 10 rushes but it's only one rush of 20 minutes .I get also an error message " C:\users\Videos\20081125\VIDEO_TS... FORMAT ERROR or file correupted/a component needed is may be not installed .
    I shoud get my 10 rushes of 2 minutes instead of one rush of 20 minutes film .

    Just a few clarifications first. Rushes, are the quick (hence the name rush) optical prints made from cine negative film. Their intention is for viewing, quickly, the results of the previous day's filming. They are not color corrected, or manipulated in any way. They are also not edited, other than being spliced together, take after take, so the crew and decision-makers can see what was captured. These are usually discarded soon after selections are made and decisions are finalized. The original negatives are then cut in the editing process and, when complete, are printed to positive projection stock with color and density corrections. Now, the final output is more often some digital format for commercial distribution.
    What we have are 2 min. Clips, in digital capture parlance. However, lets go back a moment to the first paragraph. Just like the negative film stock, this Sony camera shoots to DVD. Just like cine negative, with an editing workflow, something else has to be done. Unlike the negative film stock, the DVD can actually be viewed in an optically correct, albeit unedited, format.
    The .VOB files on the DVD are part of the inherent file structure of that medium, the DVD-video and are made up of MPEG-2 (DVD-spec) compressed files with very specific criteria. Unfortunately, the aspects that go into creating an instantly viewable medium, add some problems to doing any editing with it - first there is the structure .VOB, next, the initial compression to MPEG-2. Neither is ideal, if one plans on using an NLE (Non-Linear Editing) workflow. The .VOB structure will have to be converted at some point, and the MPEG-2 compression will have to be decompressed into another format, and most likely, be re-compressed back to MPEG-2, if the final output will go to DVD. Substitute that second MPEG-2 re-compression with Flash, WMV, or whatever, should the intent be streaming media.
    Steve has addressed the problem head-on, which is a good way to tackle it. This is intended to just add a bit, to what he has already written, not to correct anything, or change anything.
    With the proliferation of more and more non-tape capture devices, i.e. cameras, on the market, one must make a conscious decision, as to what they will ultimately wish to do with the footage captured. While it CAN be edited, with certain limitations, it is first designed to be viewed in its raw form. It handles this last job well - just pop the DVD/mini-DVD into a player and view, or hook the camera directly to the TV (or through other devices attached to the TV) and view. Editing, however, becomes a bit more complex, and needs to be well-thought out, and planned for.
    The FAQs, at the top of these pages, go a long way to helping make informed decisions, come editing time. The compromises are outlined pretty well. Yes, there
    b WILL
    be compromises, as the medium is not designed to be editable in the first place. It is a delivery/viewing medium. This should be a strong consideration, when shopping for a video, or still/video camera. What will I want to do with the material generated by that camera? Do I want to just record and view, or do I want to edit, before the final presentation of the material? If one is here, in the Adobe Premiere Elements (or Premiere Pro) forum, then it is likely that some editing is intended. If one has gone with a tape-based capture device, the editing path is clear - Capture, edit, Export. If one has gone with a HDD (hard drive), DVD, magnetic storage camera, decisions have to be made and some planning must go into the process of editing. Then is the time to learn the proper workflow (will differ dependant on the exact process of capture, that the device uses), and will pay dividends. Learning what compromises will have to be made and how best to keep these to a minimum, will be needed.
    The ease, with which these non-tape devices capture the footage, does not belie what lies ahead, should one wish to later edit. They seem so simple - shoot, then view. However, there the simplicity ends. It is later editing, that must be heavily contemplated. These forums, and especially the FAQs (remember, they are at the top of the main pages) are a good place to learn what comes next. The simplicity quickly peels away and a lot of new techniques need to be learned. As Dorothy commented, were not in Kansas anymore, Toto... If one wishes to get good results from the editing of this type of material, they need to be ready to learn. This might also be an instance, where learning by reading (first), is far preferable to learning by doing. It is far less frustrating. One also needs to be ready to dig deeply into their toolbox, which might well contain a lot of extra programs, to accomplish the task, in the best manner. Even for tape-based editing, one can never have enough tools in that toolbox, i.e. 3rd party utilities and programs.
    As an aside, I use PEs big brother, Premiere Pro, for my editing. However, I picked up PE as another tool in the process, as it does some things better than big brother does. Never be shy of using the right tools, even if it means that you have to go outside of PE and even Adobe.

  • How to install Premiere Elements 12 without DVD/CD drive - from a camera deal

    Hi!
    I just bought canon 5D mark III, it included Premiere Elements 12 and Lightroom 5.
    I'd like to install these to my windows 7 laptop which don't have DVD or CD Rom drive.
    I know I could install Elements 13 trial and then give the seriel number from DVD, but this is version 12.
    Haven't tried this, 'cause guessing troubles..
    The question could simply be: "where to download Premiere Elements 12 trial version?".
    Or another route?
    Thanks for helping!

    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Premiere Elements 12...codec issue

    I am using Windows 7 on my lenovo U310 with Premiere Elements 12 installed, to publish my premiere project in MP4 h264 1440x1080p 30f.  The published project has video but no audio output.
    Working on the same project with another computer with windows 7, also with Premiere Elements 12 installed, the published project has both video and audio output.
    When i opened the project from the 2nd computer using the U310, the message says " this type of file format not supported, or the required codec is not installed."
    Questions:
    a.)  in the U310, why no audio in the published work?
    b.)  why the project file from the 2nd computer cannot be recognizd by the U310?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum.
    When an output file has Video, but no Audio, it is often due to the settings for Multiplexing, in the Publish+Share dialog. Multiplexing combines the Video and Audio Streams into one file. My first act would be to verify that Multiplexing in the Audio Tab in Advanced, is set to something but "None." This article goes into more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3557964#3557964
    If that is not the cause, in this case, it would be informative to know exactly which Audio CODEC was chosen for that output. That info gathering could be as easy as just running the file through G-Spot, or MediaInfo, to gather the Audio CODEC in the file.
    Good luck,

  • 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?

  • Premiere Elements 12: 6 channel sound issue

    I have Premiere elements 12. I'm importing a movie clip with 6 channel sound. When I playback in the editing window, I only hear the 2 rear channels. Since my laptop only has stereo speakers, I want to be able to either
    a) collapse the 6 channels into 2 stereo channels or
    b) select which speakers to hear (the front stereo pair rather than the rear pair)
    I can't find anywhere to change these settings. can anyone help?

    ATR,
    Other than expanded info, I do not see how that differs from what I said, but perhaps missed something.
    One popular mis-conceptions is with the LFE. Many think that it contains all of the lower-frequency audio, when it seldom does, at least in a professional 5.1 mix - it is for Low Frequencey Effects, hence the official name, LFE. It does drive a sub-woofer, in a DD 5.1 SS system, but most of the stream that feeds that will be specific low-frequency streams, usually added in the studio. Some recording systems do feed more of the regular Bass to the LFE Channel, like some cameras, that shoot 5.1, but it is not how the LFE should be used - how it was designed and employed by the engineers. It was designed for earthquake rumbles, explosions, etc., and usually contains material right at, and below 20Hz - sub-sonic material, that is more "felt," than "heard." When mixing for DD 5.1 SS, I will feed from about 25 - 30Hz and below, to the LFE Channel, but little above that range.
    Otherwise, it appears that I said about the same - where do you think that I went wrong?
    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.

  • Trouble getting a 16:9 video in Premiere to burn to DVD without cropping

    I am using Adobe Encore CS5.1 and I am having trouble burning a 16:9 DVD. Everytime I create the DVD, the video becomes stretched and the footage is off-screen. I tried a couple different transcoding methods, but the best I could do still had some footage stretched off screen. I tried the DVD on my computer and DVD player, and both had the same issue. The video uploaded fine to YouTube, not cropping at all, so what do I have to change in order for the whole video to appear on the DVD? Movies do it all the time, so how do i get it to work? This is the first time in my six years of using Adobe that I am confused enough to use the forums, so needless to say, I'm stumped LOL
    Thanks, hope I can figure it out.

    Both files were exported from premiere correctly, because when I view them on youtube they look fine.
    That does not follow. Youtube retranscodes them, and will display an HD movie just fine. If you do the HD to SD downrez incorrectly, they will not be correct on a DVD.
    I still don't know whether you are doing HD to SD and whether you are brining HD into Encore. Give me more to work with.
    I assume your avi and flv are the source material you are exporting from in Premiere. What are you transcoding them to (I.e. the transcode settings)? What are the pixel sizes from and to.
    Does the asset show "Do Not Transcode" under the DVD transcode status column in project settings?

  • Premiere Pro CC - MPEG2-DVD export issues

    I have two projects that I am attempting to export using MPEG2-DVD, both exports begin to playback correctly but about half way through the video begins cutting out, flashing white and and green, and then cuts to completely green. Also the sequence length is 25:18, and after export it is 18:05. Export preset for MPEG2-DVD was NTSC 23.976p Wide, nothing else changed. I also tried exporting with Media Encoder, with the same results.
    Video was shot with Canon DSLR and GoPro at 24p. Project is to 23.976fps. Video effects added in sequence are Warp Stabilizer, Lumetri looks, Brightness & Contrast, and Three-Way Color Corrector. I disabled all effects, exported with same settings as before, video was at the same shortened length, but the white and green coloring is gone.
    Any ideas of why the video effects might be distorting the color? And why the time is dropping from 25:18 to 18:05?

When we export in MPEG-2 format from Premier Pro though we get the green and white lines when broadcasting. Right now we're having to export it in a different format, and then use a separate program to convert it to MPEG-2.

    There does seem to be some confusion on which discs, one does the full install from. As there are now both Mac and PC versions, AND there is a 32-bit and 64-bit version for the PC, a lot of discs. Maybe Adobe needs to do a better job of marking the discs, to help with that confusion?

  • Premiere Elements Disk Menus does not show in replay using Mac Pro OS X 10.9.3

    I recently installed Premier Elements 12 on my Mac Pro OS X 10.9.3 (Maverick).
    Naturally I want to get the highest possible quality to show off on the TV using a standard DVD player.
    Outputting to DVD not using AVCHD retains the menu but not on AVCHD, what am I doing wrong?
    The Output Quality using just DVD and not AVCHD is lousy, what have I missed?

    SigiPC
    Thanks for the reply.
    Objective Miscellaneous
    Let us start with your objectives. If you are restricted to a DVD disc, then your export choices from Premiere Elements will be
    DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc (720 x 480 stretched to 856 x 480 for display after encoding)
    or
    AVCHD format on DVD disc (1920 x 1080 16:9)
    Disc menus are possible as described for main menu page, scene menu page, main menu markers and scene markers. The players will recognize the stop markers placed in a Premiere Elements burn to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, but will not recognize the stop markers in a Premiere Elements burn to AVCHD on DVD disc. There should not be problem with main menu markers or scene markers in either choice.
    Also, AVCHD on DVD is not playable in the standard DVD player. You need a Blu-ray player that supports AVCHD on DVD disc. Many do, but some may not. The specifications of the player is your guideline.
    For AVCHD on DVD disc, you do not need a Blu-ray DVD burner to burn to AVCHD on DVD disc. That can be done with a DVD burner.
    And, under all conditions, a stop marker should never be placed at the end of the last item on the Timeline.
    Specific Replies
    What disk menu?  I am talking about “disk menus” as per page 243 of Premiere Elements Manual.
    It was my impression that you said that "Disc Menus Do Not Show...", so I was asking which specific disc menu theme are you using? And, is this "do not show" applicable to all the disc menu themes that you have tried to work with?
    I am using a Panasonic Blu-Ray player on the TV.
    Are the disc menus of your Premiere Elements DVD-VIDEO or AVCHD on DVD not displaying solely with this Panasonic player? Or, is the same observed with computer playback of the DVD product? If the missing menus in the end product issue that brought you here involves solely the Panasonic player, then I would ask if you have checked the player for any option that would control the display of menus in the playback?
    Not sure if I am using “interlaced video” but you would know from my input sources mentioned above.
    You wrote "My source media is output from iPhoto and Fotomagico slide shows whose output is MP4 MOV or M4V and if played back in Quicktime are of very acceptable quality (H.264 1920X1080)". That does not tell me if 1080p or 1080i, but I suspect that it is 1080p. The MediaInfo properties readout will give a definite answer.
    http://download.cnet.com/MediaInfo/3000-2169_4-10413046.html
    Just be careful for unwanted carry alongs with the MediaInfo free program. But iPhoto and Fotomagico should be telling you before export whether you are exporting 1080i or 1080p. My main focus on the Premiere Elements 1080p DSLR aspects related to slideshow is the fact that that Premiere Elements DSLR project presets seem to give consistently a sharper photo image in the end product. So when applicable (photo and video wise) it is the preferred route for me and others.
    “Quality area” and space requirements are not of concerns at this stage since present show length is not even 30 minutes – or should I be concerned for some other reason but space?
    As routine, the Quality area Space Required and Bitrate should be known, even for your 30 minute Timeline content duration. You should be working with a check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space" and watching the Bitrate in that area. Anything lower than the maximum 8.00 Mbps indicates that the program is making a fit by lowering the Bitrate. The extent that it does not impacts the quality of the end product. Also, of note, the that Bitrate is a variable one in the end product.
    This may or may not affect what you are doing now, but it is important information to include in the discussion "just in case".
    Also, related trivia...DVD disc marked 4.7 GB/120 minutes is in reality 4.38 GB; DVD disc marked 8.5 GB/240 minutes is in reality 7.95 GB.
    Are we any closer to getting at why your disc menus are disappearing after end product creation in Premiere Elements and at playback with your Panasonic player?
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.
