Premiere elements crashes when burning a DVD

I'm trying to burn a slide show I've created. It's a mixture of photoshop elements photo slideshow and edited videos, about 30 minutes long.
But every time I try and burn it to DVD, premiere elements crashes. It generally gets to about 30% through the encoding media stage.
Has anyone else come across this problem? I thought it might be related to virtual memory, but I've increased this, and it's not had an effect. I'm running it on a laptop with 4Gb RAM, so RAM shouldn't hopefully be a problem.
When trying to burn, i've also tried to reduce the quality so instead of using "Fit contents to available space" I've reduced the bit rate down to 5Mbps so the space required is just over 1.2Gb (it was originally about 2Gb).
Has anyone any suggestions as to how to resolve / diagnose this problem.
I've burnt several DVDs before without any problems, although they were mainly just photos
Thanks in advance

The easiest way to do this is with Photoshop (PS). I'm certain that PSElements can do it well also, but do not know what might be different. This is for Photoshop.
Place copies of your files into a folder. I use copies because I do not want anything to happen to my originals and play it extra safe. Add a sub-folder. I name mine something like "Final_PSD's,) etc. In PS, I have a series of Actions, to re-size to my common video formats. They are named things like, NTSC_Wide, NTSC_4-3, etc. The Action is set to Open the files, then change the size to the appropriate dimensions and assign the correct PAR for that Project, such as my NTSC_4-3 gets a PAR of 0.9. The Action then does a Save_As. I keep .PSD's as .PSD's, but JPEG would work well too.
In PS, I go to File>Automate>Batch Process. This brings up a dialog screen, where I choose the Action that I want to run, NTSC-4-3 in this case. I direct the program to the Source Folder and the appropriate Destination Folder, my "Final_PSD's" in this case. If I have the sub-folder targeted for the Destination Folder, I leave the file naming conventions the same. I check Bypass Open command, as I do not need to see the work being done. Check over everything. Hit OK, and in a few minutes, I can re-size hundreds of files. Time will depend on one's system, and also on the size of the Target Files.
I feel that there WILL be differences in PSE, but someone else will have to fill in that info. It has also been pointed out that the freeware image processor and cataloging program Irfanview cand do batch re-sizing quite well. This might be an option. I do not use it for such, so I cannot comment.
Good luck,

Adobe Premiere Elements 13, will not display video picture, audio only. My video format is listed as compatible with Adobe.

douglass
On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates?
If not, please do so.
You have not given us enough information with which to help you.
What are the properties of your source file that is presenting in the project with audio but no video?
Quickest way to gain that information is from brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video.
I am looking for
video compression
audio compression
frame size
frame rate
interlaced or progressive
file extension
pixel aspect ratio
What does the file's thumbnail look like in Project Assets after it is imported....thumbnail with no image (gray), thumbnail with only an audio icon
within it, or other? On the Timeline, what do you see represented in Video 1....nothing as opposed to Audio 1 where you see the audio portion of
the file?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 13/13.1? Are you running the programs as
administrator?
Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
Let us start here. Based on your reply details, we will customize troubleshooting strategy for you.

CS Crashes While Saving

There seems to be an incompatibility problem that causes PS CS to crash while saving under OSX 10.4.11. Crash reports say Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0xfffffff4 and strange folders ( ¬∂ßå∆∂´ ) are created in Home/Preferences. Apple blames Adobe. Adobe blames Apple. Either way - we're screwed.
Any gurus out there with thoughts?

Yes lower the allocation to about 75 -80 %.
You need some memory for the system also before relaunching PS trash the settings folder to give yourself a clean start and also if you don't have another disk or partition as a scratch disk get one.
To trash the settings folder
1. Quit Illustrator.
2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS4 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

Garageband crashing while saving

Hi all,
I was working on a track on Garageband today on my ipad when it suddenly crashed while saving. Now whenever I open it up, it goes back to that song and won't save - so I can't access all my other files! There's an awful lot of work on those files and I really want to get them back but I've no idea how. I've tried switching ipad off and back on, but that hasn't worked - and the files aren't synced up to my PC as I haven't had access to it for a while.
Is there a way to get back to the main screen on garageband? Please someone help, this is so frustrating!
Thanks
PS

Sad to say this has now happended to me twice.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Premiere Elements 7 won't render video

I cannot get Premiere Elements to finish rendering my video in AVI format. I have tried multiple codecs. I have done it on 2 computers with 4 gigs or RAM, and dual core processors made in the last 2-3 years. One had Windows 7 and one had Windows Vista. They both get to about 70-90% and then stop. Windows Task Manager shows no CPU usage when this happens. I usually give it 10-15 minutes and if no activity happens I kill it. Is it normal for it to just hang on a random spot like this? Maybe I need to give it more time, but it sure seems like it has stopped responding.
What can I do to fix this? I could always try another format, but why won't this work?

Video is all local. I have copied the project folder and all video to the new computer and then pointed everything to the right paths. The reason I had to do this is because it wouldn't render on the original computer. The only computer that can render it is my work computer that has Windows 7, a core 2 duo and 6 gigs of RAM.
I moved it to my wife's laptop this morning using the same method that allowed me to render it at work. I previewed the whole video. It ran through from beginning to end without a problem. All scenes, music, transitions were there. So, moving the project worked. Again, all video was local.
As far as "codec", I used the wrong term. I think "encoder" is what I am changing. I pick the format, then click settings, and change the drop down to different AVI Encoders. I only started changing this after my initial attempts to render failed, so I tried the defaults first. In fact, I have tried the default settings no less than 3 times. I also tried QuickTime H.264 and it had they actually failed with error messages that basically said "An Error Occurred" and that's it.
Below are screens of the problem when rendering AVI showing the rendering has stopped. I also have uploaded my timeline.

Premiere Pro & Premiere Elements Crash When Open Together?

Anyone have a problem with Premiere Pro & Premiere Elements crashing when open together?
I have PE10 and am doing a trial of Premiere Pro CS6.
Both crash fairly quickly when open together.
i7 2600K
Windows 7 64 Bit
16GB RAM
GTX 470
Corsair AT 850 Watt PSU
Thanks!

The first thiing that comes to my mind is a resources issue. As you have a stout computer, with more than adequate RAM, unless something is failing (like a stick of RAM), or perhaps the GPU, I would not expect to see what you observe. On a much less powerful machine, I have no problem running PrPro, Encore, Photoshop, Illustrator, and a word processor, all at the same time.
I would look into this ARTICLE, which starts with some general tips on setting up one's computer for running PrE, and then goes into system and OS tune-up tips (this is probably where I would start, if the intitial checklist looks OK), and then goes into troubleshooting. I would definitely look here, and especially using Event Viewer to try and track down what is happening, when the crashes occur, and also the one on tools to test RAM, GPU's, etc.).
Good luck,

Why do I loose rendered footage from my timeline in Premiere Elements 10, after saving my project !

Why do I loose rendered footage from my timeline in Premiere Elements 10, after saving my project on exit! When I reopen the project, the timeline needs rendering again! Can anyone help me with this problem, it's driving me mad!
Is there a fix, or is it a problem with settings in the program! Any help, greatly appreciated! Mike's Media.

Mike,
Welcome to the forum.
Along with the answers to Steve's questions, please tell us about your computer's I/O sub-system, i.e. your computer's HDD's, and especially where the Project, the media and the PrE Scratch Disks are stored. For instance, if everything is on C:\, or perhaps the Project, media and Scratch Disks are all on an external USB 2.0 HDD.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I get premiere elements 13 to read the video of my .mov files?

I am working on a PC. How do I get premiere elements 13 to read the video of my .mov files? I hear the audio but don't see any video.Thank you.

phyllism
Thanks for the reply. Glad that QuickTime install resolved the Premiere Elements 13/13.1 video playback problem.
When you double click any of the thumbnails for your .mov file in the Elements Organizer 13/13.1, does the Elements Organizer 13/13.1's player open to play back the .mov file contents for both video and audio?
You wrote
in the browser, the preview is an audio file, not a QT preview.
I was not sure if you were just going by what appears in the thumbnail, namely film strip with music note, or whether you had gone through the actual playback there. In the Apple Pro Res footage that I have, I get the same thumbnails that you are seeing for Windows Explorer. In Elements Organizer 13/13.1, the thumbnail for my Apple Pro Res file is just a film strip on gray.
I think what you are seeing is "normal" for the situation. But, please verify your observation with 13 updated to 13.1 if you have not done that already.
Thanks.

Premiere Elements crashes after 2 min. what's going on?

I've been working with Premiere Elements about a month now. Initially it was very slow so I upgraded my memory and used Adobe's advice for optimal playback. That seemed to clear things up. However in the past couple days it will crash after about 2 minutes of being open. It never fails. Sometimes it will give me an error message and other times it will just freeze.
This is the error I'll sometimes get:
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I haven't found any errors today, even though it has crashed several times, but I did find this error from last Friday (when all this crashing started happening):
These are the codecs for my file:
Here's the screenshot of my project:
Once I open that project, it has crashed within two minutes of it being open, even if I don't do anything. I don't have any special effects besides the titles. All I've been doing with this project is rearrange files within the timeline. So far I haven't had problems with other projects or files, but my other projects are under 1 minute and I have spent the majority of my time on this project and file.
What happens is the program sometimes just freezes (and I've let it sit to see if it would unfreeze itself, that works only about half the time). Other times it just shuts itself down with no error message. I've also received these two errors:
If I get the "Project Save Error" and I try to save it somewhere else, it still gives me the same error. The only way I can get out of that error is to shut down the program without saving.
This is what I've done so far:
Installed Windows updates (all critical updates installed except for Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 3)
Updated QuickTime
Cleaned up start-up programs
Turned off indexing
Deleted temporary files
Ran system virus scans
Defragmented my C:\ drive
Set priority level for Premiere Elements to AboveNormal.
I save all of my files directly onto my computer (not the network drives)
Any other suggestions?

You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708?tstart=0 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing

Adobe Premiere Elements 11 file saving

I have installed Adobe Premiere Elements 11 onto my C drive.
When I edit video files I know they are large so that is why I save them to my D drive that is very large.
Even though I save my video files and finished files to my D drive Files are still being saved as well to my C drive. IT IS EATING UP ALL MY SPACE ON MY C DRIVE AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO

Major Paul,
Welcome to the forum.
I agree with Steve 100%. Much of what you are likely seeing on your C:\ are the Scratch Disks for Premiere, which are "working files." One has the option of where to locate those, in Edit>Preferences, and if you take Steve's advice of creating your Projects on your D:\ to begin with, then I would adjust the destination of all of the Scratch Disks to "Same as Project," and they will then reside on D:\, below the Project's folder in the hierarchy.
Also, there is a recent thread on Scratch Disks (though the discussion does include Photoshop's Scratch Disks, which are different) here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1156141?tstart=0
As Steve also suggests, keeping one's C:\ as clean, as is possible is a very good thing, and I could not agree more.
Good luck,
Hunt

Adobe Premiere Elements crashes on export

Hello,
I am working on a video project in Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0. My computer is a Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Dell XPS M1530 laptop with the following hardware:
Toshiba MK3263GSX Disk Drive
285 GB, 149 GB used
burst transfer rate: 3 MBps
5400 RPM
8 MB cache
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T8300
2.40 GHz
4.00 GB of RAM
Whenever I try to export my project (which is less than 3 minutes long and contains no more than 2.25 GB of 720p 30fps video), the program crashes. Usually, the progress bar will go about half way before an Adobe message tells me that Premiere is running low on system memory. Not long after that, a Windows message appears telling me that "Adobe Premiere Elements has stopped working" and it crashes to the desktop. This has occured without fail perhaps 50 times in all my tries to get this to save.
As this project has progressed and become larger and larger, it has become more and more difficult to export. At first, there were no problems. Then, I had to start restarting the program or my computer immediately before exporting. After making a few more changes and additions, I have been entirely unable to export succesfully.
I have set my export settings at far lower levels than would be acceptable for this project, but the program still crashes. I was most recently trying to save the file as an .mpg with the NSTC Widescreen DVD settings. Trying to save in other file formats and at other settings has not been succesful.
I do realize that this is probably a commonly asked question, so I apoligize for bringing it up again. I have searched for information on this topic and have tried several suggestions, including changing the virtual memory and cleaning up my hard drive.
Is my computer just too weak to export this project? Would a more recent program fix my problem? Are there any techniques or suggestions I should try?
Thank you very much for your help.

How can I mkae a simple photo edit on premiere elements 12 without using the video feature?

I was told when I spent $1000+ on my HP and all the software that I would have what I needed to edit photos and/or edit videos. I am a yoga teacher so I am posting my classes online as videos, as podcasts, and I also need to edit some of my personal photos to use for marketing material. I can see where I edit photos for a video and incorporate them in that said video but Im also needing to just edit the photos but adding text. Nothing fancy. I just want to make some flyers.

yogawithlexi,
Welcome to the forum.
Im also needing to just edit the photos but adding text. Nothing fancy. I just want to make some flyers.
For editing photos, to be output to the printed page (whether by a commercial printing service, or a desktop printer), I strongly recommend Photoshop Elements (PsE).
If you need to output to a video file, then Premiere Elements (PrE) can possibly do what you want, but not for the printed page - at least not easily, and with the ultimate results. First, Video is not dependent on DPI/LPI (Dots Per Inch, or Lines Per Inch), where printed material will be. Also, while PrE can output a Still Image, the quality, when printed, will be far less, than what one can obtain with PsE.
Do you currently have Photoshop Elements on your computer, or only Premiere Elements?
Good luck,
Hunt
