Moved Premiere Elements 10 project Error: "Project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements"

After moving an entire client folder from an external hard drive to an internal one, the client's video, created in adobe premiere elements 10, will no longer open in adobe premiere elements 10. It appears to be loading the project, and instead of completing, the following error message is displayed: "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements."
The same thing occurs when attempting to open the archive files.
New projects, and unmoved projects behave properly.
Moved projects receive this error.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 on a solid state drive (SSD) (c:/), where premiere elements is installed
My documents, including the project I need to work with are on my "storage" drive (HDD). it is (f:/)

Archiving Aspects of this.....
First let clear the matter of the "archiving" as a life saver.... We do not appear to be on the same wave length.
a. I am talking about File Menu/Project Archiver with its Archive project and Copy project options. This feature is a safety net to save you when you
inadvertently disconnect source media from the project file. With the Archive option (Trimmed Folder result), you get saved to the computer hard drive (safe keeping) a copy of the project file plus copies of the media that were taken to the Timeline. With the Copy option (Copied Folder result), you get copy of the project files plus copies of much more.
b. Instead, you appear to be talking about "archiving" in the context of AutoSaves. AutoSaves are saved snapshots of the project at various phases of the edit. They suffer from the same shortcomings of the original project that has been disconnected from its source media.
When you import media into a project, all you get are copies of the originals in the project. But, those copies need to trace back to originals at the locations where they were when first imported into the project. Moving, renaming, deleting files/folders that went into the project after the project save close leads to some very time consuming messy situations.
What to do....
If you can, put everything back the way it was. If not.....
Let me emphasis some factors..

Here you mention specifically "client's video". Later you detail with .mod files converted to .avi. What kind of .avi? If you have converted to AVCHD.avi or H.264.avi, they have been found not to be compatible with Premiere Elements. You should not be able to import them into any new or old project.
From what you described, I am envisioning
"Video" Folder
which contains 2 folders named
"Timestamped Folder" with .avi files
and
"DVD" Folder with the project file (project.prel)
The project file has many files generated automatically in the course of it workflow. Where do you have them going?
(See Premiere Elements 10 Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Discs). If you have the Scratch Discs directed
"Same As Project", then we would expect all those files to be going to the DVD Folder in the above scenario.
If we could open the project and get greeted with some "Where is the file.....?" messages, that might give us some hope.
But that is not the case.
Consequently from what you have said, I am suggesting that the path of least resistance is try to recreate the "before".
Please review and consider.

Adobe premiere elements 11 not responding.

Adobe premiere elements 11 says, "not responding" and asks me if I want to close the program. I have done this multiple times and nothing has worked. I am getting very frustrated and am not impressed by this program. What can I do to fix it?

hunttofilmt
Here is what I was like you to look at and determine if this workflow behaves any differently than the one that you are using now. I am assuming that you are having similar problems with Go Pro Hero 3's 960p @ 48 progressive frames per second and with the Canon's 1080p @ 24 progressive frames per second.
Let us confine these initial tests to the Canon 1080p24, for now to avoid any complications of editing 960p48 in Premiere Elements.
1. Open Premiere Elements 11 and go to File Menu/New/Project and set the project preset to
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p24
or
PAL
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p24
depending on whether you have a NTSC or PAL install for your Premiere Elements 11.
Before you exit the new project dialog, be sure to put a check mark next to Force Selected Project Settings on this Project.
2. Import your 1080p24 into the project using Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets.
3. In Project Assets, double click the file there to open the Preview Window and proceed to trim your video.
Here is a description of the process from my blog post. Please cross check what you are doing with the steps that I used in the blog post demo.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/06/pe11-project-assets-organization-for.html
If that is not successful, then stop and let us know.
If that is successful, then let us look at the 960p48...there is an atypical format for Premiere Elements. Here we are going to set the project preset manually as in the case with the Canon, but here we are going to use the project preset of:
NTSC
DV
Standard
or
PAL
DV
Standard
depending on whether you have a NTSC or PAL install for your Premiere Elements 11.
Before you exit the new project dialog, be sure to have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting for this Project.
Then continue with the import and trimming of the video in the Preview Window as you did with the 1080p24 footage.
Looking forward to your results.
Thanks.
ATR
Add On....By the way, how is your external hard drive formatted NTFS or FAT32? Depending on the results from the above mini tests, please look at importing/trimming one of your 1080p24 in the 1080p24 project but import the 1080p24 from a computer desktop save location instead of the external hard drive.

Importing mp4 files into Adobe Premiere Elements 4

Hi
I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 4 here and am having problems when importing mp4 files. They jump and skip, Flicker Green every now and then and generally just flip out on me.
Does anyone know what's the problem here and whether there's any specific settings i need to tweak within APE to get it to work properly?
TIA

Ok thanks for the info guys
My original recommendation was to convert these but as mentioned wasn't the most popular option.
I've found some other threads on here in regards to a similar problem with Samsung cameras and APE 4. These also mention that the files need to be converted to a friendlier format before importing.
Thanks again

If you want to give some troubleshooting a try, I will stay with you until we get that Premiere Elements 11 Windows to work. I will have lot of questions because I believe the answers are in the details. Often I write problems with the same symptoms can (often do) have different causes. So, I look at each case for details specific to it.
1. How long have you been running Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 64 bit without this problem: few days, few weeks, few months, never worked? The usual drill...do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed and are you working from a User Account with Administrative Privileges? Are your video and audio card drivers up to date?
2. What do your computer resources look like, available RAM, free hard drive space (derived from just Local Disk C or using a supplemental drive for scratch disks and video storage? Where are your scratch disks directed and how much free hard drive space is at that location? (See Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks.) Besides your ccleaner maintenance, have you checked for Adobe Folder previews and conformed audio pile ups? Have you cleaned the Media Cache Database (See Edit Menu/Preferences/Media/Media Cache Database.)?
3. You say the problem happened out of the blue. Any new software, plug-ins, codecs, and the like installed around the time that the problem set in?
4. I would like to see you get rid of the Welcome Screen as your point of entry to the program. To that end, right click the Premiere Elements 11 Desktop icon, select Properties, select Open File Location. That will take you to a file named Adobe Premiere Elements 11.exe. Select the file next to it named Adobe Premiere Elements.exe, create a Desktop shortcut to Adobe Premiere Elements.exe, and use that Desktop shortcut thereafter to open Premiere Elements 11.
5. I would also like to explore other ways of opening the Premiere Elements new project depending on results. One example...can you open a new Premiere Elements project from the Elements Organizer?
5. If possible, download and install the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 11 Windows from Adobe and determine if that will install for you from the Premiere Elements as well as the Elements Organizer interfaces. Adobe allows only one download of its tryout product version whether you have used the product 1 or 30 days. So, if you have gone the tryout route, this idea isn't going to work unless Adobe makes an exception. But, I do like this idea for troubleshooting purposes.
MBolton never did follow up to a conclusion on the thread that kglad kindly referenced. There were other avenues to explore. I look forward to the opportunity to assist you in your Premiere Elements troubleshooting here. I am no longer visiting nor answering questions at the web site where MBolton and I sought to find an answer to this issue.
Thanks.

New computer 8 GB ram, 64 bits, Windows 7, I figured out how to make videos and I had some help but I can't find the answer to this problem? Has to be a better way? I could spend my life researching this topic and not come across the written material for the answer? I spend $1500 just for this computer to use this program and I am still having problems with it only when I add text. I spent 50 hours on creating a video didn't freeze up once. Then at the end I added in all the written paragraphs of text immediately it started freezing up and kicking me out of the program. Help remember I am a rookie so keep the instructions simple please?

Thanks Bill,

Now is probably a good time to discuss Titles, and Instances of Titles.
When one creates a Title, it appears in the Project Panel. When it appears on, or is dragged to the Timeline, one has an Instance of that Title. One can have any number of Instances of that Title. All are linked back to the Title in the Project Panel. That means that if one changes any Instance of that Title, or the Title in the Project Panel, those changes will affect EVERY Instance of that Title. That can be very useful, but can also be confusing, when first encountered.
As an example, say that you have created a Title, that says "Meanwhole Back at the Ranch," sort of like the old silent Western movies. You place that Title between dozens of Clips on the Timeline, but then notice the mis-spelling. Just correct one of the Instances, or the Title in the Project Panel, and ALL Instances will reflect the change from Meanwhole," to "Meanwhile." So far, so good.
BUT, if one wants a different Title, but one based on that "Meanwhile Back at the Ranch," they would NOT edit one of the Instances, or the Title in the Project Panel, as that would change ALL Instances. Instead, go to that Title in the Project Panel, and Rt-click on it, then choose Duplicate. That will create a Copy of that Title, with the word "Copy" postpended to it. Then edit THAT Title, as needed, and those changes will NOT affect any Instances of the original Title. Note: you can Rt-click on the Copied/Duplicated Title, and choose Rename, to make finding it, and identifying it easier. Initially, upon Duplication, it will appear highlighted in the Project Panel, but if you need to easily find it later on, Renaming it should make that task easier. When done making changes to that Duplicate Title, just drag it to the Timeline to create an Instance of it.
Good luck, and hope that helps, plus saves confusion, when you go to alter but one Instance of a Title, without affecting all other Instances.

Premiere Elements 12 is here!

Version 12 of Premiere Elements has just been released.

http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=12341

I've managed to partially solve my own problem so will outline it for anyone who has a similar issue.
Firstly the locations in the thread I linked to appear to me to just the preferences files rather than the actual catalogues. I think my catalogues are in the default location which is "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs".
It was the catalogue itself which was corrupted and specifically the file thumb.5.cache in the root directory of the catalogue.I deleted this file and hey presto Elements Organizer will now load. Everything except the thumb nails seems to be fine so after a few hours rebuilding the thumbs I am back to where I was before the corruption.
My hypothesis for the cause of the crash was windows performing a restart after installing updates overnight while I had the organiser open.

Premiere Elements 9 is here!

Adobe has officially announced the release of Premiere Elements 9 (as well as Photoshop Elements 9 and the Elements 9 Organizer).
This is a very exciting build that not only fixes many of the performance issues in version 8, but it includes a much wider range of project presets -- including presets for video from Flip camcorders and video from high quality still cameras like the Canon EOS. It also works natively with AVCHD video, which means that files no longer need to be rendered on your timeline until you add effects or transitions to it.
If you'd like to know more about this exciting new release, see the FAQs to the right of this forum.

Damn, I just knew that was going to happen because I finally seem to have sorted out working with the giant mp4 video files I get off the 16 GB SD-HC cards from my tiny HeroPro HD video cameras that I use to get HD in-car video recording at race tracks. But I guess the PreE 9 upgrade from my current PrE 8 would be a good thing -- I know I would especially like and make good use of the enhanced AVCHD capability and other presets -- and hopefully they have fixed all or most of the PreE 8 bugs and incompatibilities -- but I have to confess I was really hoping the new version would be 64-bit.
By the way, sorting out my rendering issues when working with large mp4 files for me involved an updated driver for my NVIDIA GTX260 card, disabling all 3-D capabilities on the card and also turning off GPU in PrE 8, temporarily disabling all Norton Internet Security stuff while working with PrE 8 and also disconnecting the computer from my ethernet wired LAN, and finally something I found recently in this Forum which was importing the HeroPro HD mp4 raw files into the latest version of StreamClip and then immediately exporting out the StreamClip (QuickTime 7?) version of mp4 to an uncompressed mp4 file (that doubles the file size -- to 6 GB in my case today -- but seems to give me the best quality and no render issues, hangups, or crashes so far with the above changes for editing and rendering). Maybe I should rethink upgrading to PrE 9 for awhile?
I am using a fairly new HP Pavilion Elite HPE 180t with Intel x58 mobo chip-set and Intel quad-core i7 930 CPU running at 2.8 GHz, OS is Win 7 x64 Ultimate, 12 GB of DDR3 Ram, single NVIDIA GeForce GTX260 graphics card with 1.8 GB memory, PSU upgraded to the excellent Corsair TX650W, two internal 1-T WD Caviar Black HDDs, two internal BD optical drives, a 23-inch HP full 1920x1080p monitor, and am using the on-board sound and Gigabit network adapters. This is a pretty fast and cool running system and the dang thing is as close to silent running with the after-market Corsair PSU that I have ever seen in nearly 30 years of owning PCs -- the new HP Pavilion Elite model lines seem to have good quality now and the prices are competitive as well -- I ordered mine with free shipping directly from HP and could not be happier with it (no, I have no financial or other connections to HP).

Is there a way to create and edit a video in portrait mode / 9:16 in Premiere Elements 12 or 13. Playback on an iPhone in portrait position.

I'm editing iPhone app video for posting as the first screen in the Apple app store. Required size for the video is 750:1334, 9:16. I there a way to setup the initial video in portrait mode? Many posts for how to rotate a specific clip, but I need the whole video in portrait position. How to accomplish this? I'm using Windows 7 and Premiere Elements 12 and now 13.

LaurieFrick
Thanks for giving this portrait Edit area monitor shape a look.
I have Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8.1 64 bit and have done the work using Premiere Elements 12/12.1 on Windows 7 64 bit.
Here is a step by step
Find the DSLR [email protected] file
Local Disk C\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 12\Settings\SequencePresets\NTSC\DSLR\1080p\
And, in that 1080p Folder is the DSLR 1080p30@ 29.97.sqpreset file that you seek.
1. Copy the
DSLR 1080p30@ 29.9.sqpreset fileI
and paste it to the computer desktop in a newly created folder named 1920p.
2. Open the 1920p Folder and edit the ..sqpreset file in Notepad.
To do that right click the .sqpreset, and, from the pop up, select Open With and then Notepad.
3. In the Notepad document, you are going to edit in only 2 places for now, switching 1920 and 1080 to 1080 and 1920 at the top and bottom
sections of the Notepad document.
Then go specifically File Menu/Save of the Notepad document and hit Save.
4. At this point, you have the edited.sqpreset file in the 1920p Folder on the computer desktop.
(Change the name of the edited .sqpreset file so that it = DSLR [email protected])
Move the 1920p Folder from there to add it to the 1080p Folder, the location where you found the original .sqpreset file that you edited.
Close out of there.
5. Back in the Premiere Elements 12/12.1, manually set the project preset to the new project preset
6. When you import your 1080 x 1920 9:16 video file into the project and drag it into the Timeline, you should see
Note that there is no orange line over that Timeline content, indicating that you are seeing
the best possible preview of the image.
7. As I wrote before,
But, here is the hang up. If I render the Timeline content to get the best possible preview at the Edit level, the video in the Edit area monitor
squeezes in resulting in black borders to the left and right of the video image on screen.
But, otherwise I found I had no problems editing or exporting, just had to keep away from Timeline rendering for previewing after an edit. Need to find the missing ingredient for 100%.
I will be writing this up in my blog in a more organized fashion including how I got the project preset description in Change Settings to agree with the changes. Probably I will do that in the morning.

"No Disk" Error (premiere elements 11)

I have successfully installed Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on my PC:
     Dell XPS 8300
     Intel Core i7-2600 Quad Core (3.4 GHz, 8MB Cache)
     • 1GB Radeon HD 6450 Graphics
     • 16GB DDR3 1333 RAM
     • 1TB 7,200RPM Hard Drive (2 x 500GB RAID 0)
     • Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
When I open the application and click "New Project" I get the following error message:
AdobePremiereElements.exe - No Disk
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive
     \Devices\harddisk2\DR3
I can "cancel", "try again", or "continue". The only thing that works is to hit "cancel" (several times). Premiere Elements will then open, but the error message will keep recurring.   Adobe Support (Chat) has not been much help.
Anyone else come across this? This seems to be a common error in earlier versions (version 9), but I can't seem to find any good solution to it.   HELP!!!!
UPDATE:   Just as an FYI..while it's possible (but doubtful) there is preloaded software interfering, there is no other software (or viruses) installed on this computer.

"No Disk" Error (premiere elements 12)

When making an Auto Movie in pre12, as soon as i click the next button having selected the theme that I want, I get (No disk in drive D:), but if I eject the empty tray and leave it open all works fine.

Han
It does not make sense.
The SmartSound/Sonicfire Pro 5 feature is gone in Premiere Elements 12 and has been replaced by Music Scores which is in concept like SmartSound but is not SmartSound.
I think that your happening was by chance.
Recently I had a strange No disc situation. Never had one as long as I have been working with Premiere Elements products 4 to 12 over more than 10 years.
I decided to install CONTENT for Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 7 64 bit. After all was done apparently successfully. I started to use the program and went to apply a disc menu. That is when I got hit with the No disc message. I could not get rid of it. The only thing that would allow me to continue in the disc menu location was to insert the Premiere Elements 10 CONTENT disc which seemed unreasonable since all the CONTENT could be seen saved to the computer hard drive where it was supposed to be.
I decided to restart the computer for one reason or another. Immediately after the restart, there was no problem applying the disc menu in Premiere Elements 10. I did not have to work with the Premiere Elements 10 CONTENT disc in the burner tray to get my Premiere Elements 10 disc menus applied.
This one computer before and after this incident had SmartSound programs on it related to many earlier Premiere Elements versions that are on this same computer. So, SmartSound features or files did not appear to be implicated here in this No disc matter.
So I would caution you about a jump to judgment on
but somehow still looking for those smart sound files...
Please consider if there are any alternative explanations for your results.
Thank you.

You will need to supply a lot more information than just "runtime error in premiere elements" in order for us to help you.
1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
2. What are you using a the project preset for your project? And, what are the properties of the source media that are being used on the Timeline?
3. Is this a "it worked before but now" or "it never worked before" type of problem?
4. What is the description of your computer and its resources?
5. What troubleshooting have you done so far...
a. flushing preferences
b. deactivation, uninstall, reinstall
c. other

How to set up user account in Windows 7/Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1?

At the present time I have only the Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit operating system which works from a User Account with Adminstrative Privileges when it comes to using Premiere Elements.
I have read that in Windows 7, the default user account is one with standard rights. My first question is, when using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 in general in a Windows 7 32 or 64 bit environment, do you have to elevate the user account to one with adminstrative rights and, if so, how?
My second question is, is there anything in the Windows 7 user account setup that would specifically target the Premiere Elements Project Archiver/Archiver "Trimmed" as well as Copy options to abort with the message "no user privileges to perform this operation"? The rest of the program performs OK. Supposedly inadequate hard drive space is not a factor.
Thanks for any insights into these two questions.
ATR

SG
Just an update to the question that I presented when I started this thread.
You really never did say what type of a User Account you are using in your Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7? But based on the information provided by several users, User Account with Administrative Rights seems to be the way to go since all of them were using it and had systems that were running well. I would have expected that based on the Premiere Elements Windows XP requirements. I have yet to have someone come forward to say that they are using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 with a User Account with Standard Rights and the program is running well. Will you be that one?
Besides me switching from Windows XP to Windows 7 in the near future, what motivated this line of questioning was the report that I had seen of a user with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1on Windows 7 who was reporting "permission" error messages when trying to archive a project with the Project Archiver (Archiver "Trimmed" and Copy options). Further questioning brought out that the problem extended to the AutoSave feature as well. The user claimed to be saving to an external hard drive (formatted NTFS) with about 800 MB free space. And still further questioning brought out that the error message included a free space and/or permissions error. Yes, there were extremely large file sizes involved here (way over 4 GB)
The story had a happy ending where the remedies were:

How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer? I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.

How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer? I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.
Or how does Premiere 11 determine where to set the image for the video it is exporting?
I already know how to use Freeze frame and save the image to my computer by Publish+Share/Computer/ Immage.
Thanks,
Mike

This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. We are all visitors here.
Just a bit of history....back in the days of Premiere Elements 4, you could set a "poster frame" in what was called the Project area. You did this by right clicking a blank area there and, from the drop down menu that appeared, selecting View/Preview Area, and using the poster frame feature there.
As I said, when a video imports into Premiere Elements, the thumbnail of the import has been presenting as the first frame of the video. With this Preview area "poster frame" option, you could set the video's thumbnail in the Project area so that the first frame was another frame in the video. But, this "perk" was restricted to thumbnails of the video in Project area.
If you exported to file with the first frame modified video, the export's thumbnail in Windows Explorer would present with other than the real first frame or the poster frame as the first frame.
Also, in more recent versions, I have observed that the export to file does not display the real first frame of the video in Windows Explorer. Seems random, but I have not kept track.
And, remember, at the onset I wrote
As far as I have ever seen, Premiere Elements Windows uses the first frame of the video for its thumbnail in the program.
I know of no way within Premiere Elements to control what the program opts to do in this matter. In some compatibility
issues, it opts to give no image but a generic one.
I did not say that you can expect to have the Premiere Elements' export file's thumbnail in Windows displaying with its real first frame. And, the more you get into this, depending on the versions, more details need to be added to my comment about "...first frame of video for its thumbnail in the program..."
I would have to look into all this further to get perspective on the contributing factors.

Add On...The Poster Frame feature appeared in versions 4, 7, 8, and 9 by my count.

Premiere Elements 11 is here!
