Premiere Elements 11 Error When Importing Audio

I have PE-11 on my desktop and my laptop. I'm getting an error - but only on the desktop. No matter which film I'm editing - when I go to drag the music file (sound track) to the "drag audio here" block, I get the following dialogue box, saying "Add Media Failure" followed by "The importer reported a generic error".
That's all it says - and it won't accept the audio file. Doesn't matter whether I do it in "quick" or "expert" or whether I try to move it to another audio track - I get the same error.
When I drag an audio file to the audio track on the laptop, it works perfectly.
Is there something I can do - on the desktop - to eliminate this error? I really don't want to reload all the media to the laptop and build out the timelines from scratch. At the end of the day, the desktop is my primary workstation - so I've got to find a way to solve this.
As I'm dragging the file, I see the desired "plus" sign + but when I get to the layout spot and relase the mouse, the error hits me and the file doesn't transfer
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks for all the input. The biggest problem I'm having with all this - is the PE-11 on my laptop lets me drag iTunes songs directly to the video project. The PE-11 on my desktop has the error. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, on the desktop - but the problem still exists. Within iTunes, you can right-click on a song and make an mp3 copy (which is then added to your "recently added" tab in iTunes). I have converted the songs I want to MP3 so I can finish the project. I didn't have to make a .wav file - and the copyright protection is a non-issue, as my brother is the artist who's songs I'm trying to use on my latest project.
iTunes has relaxed their policy on inclusion of iTunes music in videos (which is why it works on my laptop). Yes - you still need the artists release agreement for copyright - but according to what I've received from Apple today - iTunes isn't stopping me from putting the songs in - it's got to be an Adobe thing. Strange thing here is both machines (laptop and desktop) are Dells. Desktop is an Alienware Auroa R4; laptop is a Dell Latitude E6430 -- both running Win-7.
Once I finish the project - I'll see if I have the same issue with Premiere Pro CS6 - which we have at work. Years ago - the only way to use a songs from my iTunes library was to burn the desired songs to a playlist on CD, then re-import into iTunes, with mp3 as the default importer - then move the files into the project. At least now - within iTunes, you can convert a song directly to mp3 without creating a separate disk - but I'm bothered as to why the mp4 works fine in PE-11 on one machine - but not the other. Obviously, I can't solve it today (smile) so I'm moving on in order to finish the video project.
Again - thanks for all your help. I'll advise (next week) how my test of iTunes on Premiere Pro CS6 works (natively or mp3 conversion required).

Error when importing audio

Hi
I'm trying to import audio for a slide and as background, but the importing process seems to start and then I get a message saying "Unable to decode and import the selected WAV MP3 file. What could be the problem? Thanks

Hi there
What format is the file you are importing? WAV, MP3 or something else?
Captivate will balk if it's WAV format and encoded as MP3. You will likely find you have to convert the file to a different format in order to be successful.
For starters I'd try using one of the files supplied with Captivate and see if they will import. If so, your Captivate install is probably fine and you are dealing with an encoding issue as described above. But if you can't get even the supplied files to insert properly, something is wrong in Captivate town and the problems are deeper than that. In that case, the link below may help.

Possible Bug (or Perhaps User Error) When Importing Audio

During a recent session I wanted to import some vocal samples I purchased. The vocal samples are 24bit WAV and when started to preview them via Logic's browser, things got strange.
When previewing the audio, the vocal samples automatically "fade out" after about 5 seconds, when the actual samples are much greater in length, some up to 15 seconds long. I place the file into the arrange window and after selecting "no" to the option of importing the tempo information, the placed region reflects the previewed audio in that it is much shorter than what is should be length wise. I even have the project tempo identical to the sample tempo. Here's where it gets stranger.
These same samples play in their entirety when using iTunes. As a test, I converted a couple of the samples to AIFF and WAV via iTunes, and then imported these new files into Logic. The files play in their entirety now, however, because they were converted in iTunes they have been resampled to 16bit. As a purist, I like to keep my audio in its original state until mixdown/bouncing from Logic.
Has anyone had a similar issue with their audio files? I'm well versed when it comes to using Logic and this is something I've never encountered before and have exhausted all attempts to solve this problem on my own.
All help/suggestions much appreciated.
Cheers.

Error when importing audio into CS5.5

I saw that some others had asked this question, but the solutions did not work for me. I am using an Actionscript 3 file (an out of the box template purchased online) and cannot get any audio to import into the .fla file. The audio files are in .mp3 format and were edited in Audition. I tried renaming the files and when that didn't work I tried exporting them to .wav format. Despite that, I am still getting error messages that the file could not be imported. I also tried closing out of all my Adobe apps and re-opening only Flash, but that didn't work either. Any solutions?

Thank you so much! That actually worked! I had figured out a work around of cutting and pasting into new file via Audacity and exporting (this wouldn't work via Audition), but I'll be glad to be able to use Audition again.

Premiere Elements 12 - Gaps in audio playback

Hello everyone!
I have a problem with Adobe Premiere Elements 12: when I play video in timeline or preview window, there are lots of gaps and pauses in audio playback, even though video is playing smoothly. Usually the pattern goes like this: 2 seconds of clean audio - 0,5 seconds silence - 2 seconds of clean audio... etc.
I have tried the following:
- change audio buffer settings
- change audio device (I have tested with integrated audio chip ("High Definition Audio"), M-Audio Fast Track Pro and cheap USB audio interface - same results with all of them)
- start a new project with correct settings and import only one file
- disable background antivirus monitoring
Usually source material is AVCHD 1440x1080 25fps (PAL, MTS-file) from small Sony camera, but this problem seems to continue even if I insert only still photo and mp3 audio to timeline. CPU load is about 6% during playback. It seems like Premiere Elements makes these gaps to playback signal before sending it to audio hardware?
Computer specs: Intel Core i7-4770 @ 3,4GHz, 16 GB RAM, 128GB SSD drive for OS & software and 2.0TB 7200 rpm drive for video, Intel HD Graphics 4600, Windows 8 (64bit).
I would be really grateful if someone could give me some tips to solve this annoying audio playback problem.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that this problem occurs all the time - even when video is rendered in timeline.

Thanks for the quick response, TonyPh12345. Clearly not what I was hoping for but not unexpected. BB

Premiere Elements 7: Toggle Take Audio and Video

In Premiere Elements 2, when you dragged a video/audio clip into the "Clip" section of the Monitor, there was an icon at the bottom right of the Monitor named "Toggle Take Audio and Video". There were three variations from using that icon, just video dragged from Monitor "Clip" section, just audio dragged from Monitor "Clip" section or video and audio dragged from the Monitor 'Clip" section. At times, a Shift + S could be used in place of clicking that icon under the Monitor.
In Premiere Elements 4 and 7, I see no such icon for the intended use of just taking video without its audio to the Premiere Elements Timeline. If you go to Premiere Elements 4 or 7, Edit Menu/Keyboard Shortcuts/Application/Help, there is a shortcut there for "Toggle Take Audio and Video", "Take Video", and "Take Audio". If I use Shift +S for any one of them, I cannot get them to function.
I realize that the Preview Window of Premiere Elements 4 and 7 has taken on many of the functions of the Monitor "Clip" arrangement. But, I have tried Shift + S toggling with both the Premiere Elements 4 and 7 from the program's Monitor, Preview Window, Project View Media section without any of that working to bring just video or just audio to the Premiere Elements Timeline.
Does that feature still work in versions of Premiere Elements beyond Premiere Elements 2?
I would appreciate any comments on the matter.
ATR

Robert J. Johnston,
Thank you so much.
I have been laboring for hours trying to get these keyboard shortcuts to work in Premiere Elements 4 and 7. My reasoning was why would they be there if they did not work and I must be overlooking something critical.

Hi Naresh,
Thanks for reply.
We have checked driver dim and region dim(s) members. Its looks fine. Even though we are facing import error.
As per basis guidance we have executed program SE38--> UJA_DATA_CHECKER on source system appset. And observed there are several errors showing up related to BPFs & Invalid attribute name ACCTYPE for CO_ENTITY dimension.
If any of you faced similar issue. Please share your input in this regard.

Error when import BI content 3.5.3

Hi All
I have error when import BI content 3.5.3 step at Tcode 'SAINT' (file SAPKIBIFIH.car) for mySAP ERP 2004 (ECC 5.0 IDES).
The error occur in step 3/5 after enter SAINT:Passw request.
System shown information "Queue SAPKLTHQ10 has not yet been confirmed".
In step 4/5 sytem shown statue/remarks "The Add-on installation terminated during phase PROLOGUE".
I think about installation THAI font package at Tcode "SMLT" uncompleted.
I run report "RSCPINST" at Tcode "SE38" for editing codepage after that the system shown error message "MDMP is not supported foe SAP Business Information Warehouse. Message no.RIN010" Please see sap note 563975.
Note: When i import Thai font package "SAPKLTHQ10" using Tcode "SMLT" the system shown error message "TL1277" in define schedule job step.
Message no. TL137
Diagnosis
You want to start the post-import methods for special texts (calendar texts, terminology, and glossary) for language Thai.
Before this can happen, the system checks whether this server is prepared for this language. The system also checks whether the language environment can be switched dynamically on this server (see ABAP command SET LOCAL LANGUAGE).
System response
The system established that the language environment cannot be switched to language Thai.
The language transport is stopped at this point.
Procedure
The switch of the language environment may fail for the following reasons:
1. The database codepage is not up-to-date.
2. The codepage information for language Thai is not up-to-date.
3. Locales for language Thai do not exist, or are invalid, at the operating system level.
4. The profile parameter zcsa/installed_languages has to be adjusted.
If an error occurs, proceed as follows:
1. Find out the name of the server on which the language import job ran. Log on to this server.
2. Check the language configuration using report RSCPINST. Solve the reported problem there.
If your system consists of multiple application servers and not all of them have authorization for language Thai, continue the language import on a server that has authorization for language Thai.
plaese help me to solve this problem.
thank a lot for all solutions.
Mooping.

This is a long story that you write, but your problem seems just that you must "Confirm the queue". Is that correct?
Without this step no further Support Packages can be inserted into the system. Confirming the queue is done by one of the buttons in the SPAM transaction. Just put the mouse on the buttons and read the quick help to differentiate between the buttons.
I have never had a problem like this but I think it can happen if, together with the new BI version you also include one or more support packs. This happens automatically if these packages are available, so you may not even have noticed it.

ORA-907 ERROR WHEN IMPORT (COMMENT 처리)
========================================
ORA-907: missing right parenthesis error
이 error 는 export 한 table 을 create 시 comment 를 사용한 경우 발생하는 ORACLE error 이다.

Hi, i think that the problem is around the rollback segments.The solution is bring other rollback segments ONLINE state, if not exist others rollbackup,then you need create the other rollback segments and bring online state.
If you need more information, you will must see the next DOC-ID on Metalink site,

With Premiere elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264 .mov file type, what are the recommended Codec and Aspect settings for a crisp video and a small file size?

With Premiere Elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264 .mov file type, what are the recommended Aspect and Codec settings , for a crisp video with a small file size?

Gary Krouse
We will customize a very detailed reply, but
(a) What are the properties of your source media?
(b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
(c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.
Thanks.

"error when importing object" when selecting variant

Hello,
we recently migrated from 4.6 to 4.7.
For some programs, when selecting a variant, this gives a runtime error, like
Error when importing object "C131A2"
What is the cause of this? Because the values in the variant aren't valid anymore?
How can this be solved?
Thanks in advance for the help

Glad to help - you'll likely have to run it after every upgrade (for different reports).
