Premiere Elements 11 - Organizer - Missing thumbnails

I have downloade some video files from my Canon HF S100 using Organizer. The file format is .MTS. The data files were downloaded into a named folder rather than the default suggested by Organizer. I used a new Catalogue and loaded the entries into two Albums under the top level (i.e., I did not create an Album Category). Initially few of the files had a thumbnail. I tried Optimizing the Catalogue and that produced a few more. I then highlighted the group still without a thumbnail and tried Update Thumbnail. This produced a few more. However ther are still 6 files for which I cannot get a thumbnail to appear despite repeated running of Optimize and Update Thumbnail. Is there anything else that I can try?

Steve - thanks for the suggestions.
I'm using Windows 7. I've checked and do have the latest version of Quicktime.
In fact I haven't yest created the project for the video files that I've downloaded. I simply selected Organizer (not Premiere Elements) from the welcome screen, created a new catalogue and some albums and downloaded into them.
I've subsequently found some other threads on this subject and gather that, for whatever reason, there are often files for which thumbnails are never proiduced. I guess I'll have to live with it - although it's somewhat irritating!

Adobe Premiere Elements 10 - missing and relinking files

I have adobe premiere elements 10 and I am hoping someone can please help me with an issue I am having with unlinked files.
The problem: somehow the files in adobe premiere elements organizer have lost the link w/ the originals. Whether I manually search or allow premiere elements to search, I am unable to relink the files. I thought I had the original file structure from the camera (Canon Vixia; file structure AVCHD - BDMV - STREAM - then there are the files). However all that is in the original file structure are the .xmp files (not the .MTS files like there normally are) I will be honest and say that the computer files did get rather disorganized w/ multiple copies of things (I was having issues w/ converting files w/ the mac, and I used a duplicate finder to find duplicates about a year ago and deleted what I thought were multiple copies of things). Then left the project alone, and now trying to reorganize the videos and make a DVD.
The goal: relink the files
The importance: Everything links up except for about 4-5 months worth of videos. Which happen to be the videos of my 2nd child's birth (her first moments in the hospital, first bath, first Christmas, first everything!) So this is extremely important to me that I find the files and relink them.
What I've done: Manually searched the mac, the backup drive and the cloud backup. No luck. I also had adobe premiere elements search - no luck. I have used the mac search function looking for key words and later the file name (which shows up in Adobe premiere elements organizer - but it has the little yellow question mark prompting me to relink the files - then I can't find the original to link it to).
Fingers are crossed: that someone can tell me there is something I can do with these .xmp files to relink them? Anything that can be done at all? The premiere elements organizer even shows a picture of what the video is - not just a blank gray screen - where is it pulling these images from if they don't exist on the computer somehow?
I've learned my lesson on keeping original files separate, but please help me save and preserve my daughter's precious first memories!
Thanks so much.

Thank you so much for your reply.
-When I right click the thumbnail in Elements Organizer & go to "show properties", I see a picture of a folder and the file structure where it should be found (Macintosh HD/Users/ourfirstlastname/Videos/09 30/ 12/ ). When I follow that file structure on our macintosh HD, there is no "videos" folder in the hard drive. As a side note, the file name in Elements is 00029.MTS so it is trying to find the MTS file.
-Yes, I have Premiere elements 10, working on a mac and I work with Elements Organizer 10 as well
-Yes, the problem is that I can't find on the computer hard drive the originals for those 4-5 months of videos. All that is there is the XMP files (which dates match what I'm looking for). There aren't any .mts files that match the dates anywhere to be found. It is unfortunately very possible I over-did it with cleaning but I really am holding out hope that I'm just looking in the wrong spot. I am pretty proficient on a PC but unfortunately rather new to the mac and was holding out hope that they are hidden somewhere and it's just user error that I can't find them.
-I don't actually have a project that is missing files - it's just missing in the elements organizer. I had not yet started the 2012 project yet. I was attempting to start the project this evening when I discovered that the files I had put in organizer months ago were not linking correctly. When I click on files that are present (basically some files after November 2012) and follow the link, I am able to find them (.MTS files and some .MOV files) in the hard drive.
-I very well could have renamed source media files and folders and likely moved them around. I feel like they would have to be somewhere for there to be an image on the Premiere elements organizer (image w/ little yellow question mark on it) - unless that image is part of the .xmp file?
-I do not have the original footage on the camera's memory. We only use the internal memory of the camera & transfer to computer & back up - keeping original file structure so I figured that was enough :-( Unfortunately that footage from 2012 is long gone off the camera.
Thanks again for your help. If it was any other footage I'd chalk it up to a lesson learned, but those first moments of my daughter's life are super important so I hope I can figure this out!

.MTS files in elements organizer: no thumbnails, not playing

Some google searching shows that i´m not alone with this problem, but i haven´t found a solution.
.MTS files plays in premiere elements (lagging terribly though) but not in elements organizer, where i get this error message:
Updated quicktime as suggested, no improvement.
Source of .MTS files is a Panasonic G5.
Running W7 64 bit. same problems in both elements organizer 11 & 12.
If it was a codec issue i assume it would not play in Premier elements either?
Any suggestions?

Hi A.T.
1. I'm using Premiere Elements 9. I have an Asus laptop with windows 8.1
2. I believe i have the latest driver. I have Intel HD Graphics. I ran a check to look for updated drivers and it came back as saying I had the latest.
Background
I've only had the laptop since October so that's how long the program has been on the computer.
I was able to use it a few days ago. At that time I had been using video from the same camera but that time it I had saved it originally to the camera's internal memory. When I had the problem last night it was with video I had saved to a memory card. A message which I do not remember came up asking if I'd like to change the preset as my current settings didn't match the video format. I said yes and then nothing worked after that. I can't even view the project I did several days ago now either.
How I search for the presets? I've never changed these before.
It is AVCHD file type and 1080 but I am unfamiliar with the how to know anything further.

You put yourself at a disadvantage by tagging on to an older thread and not starting a new thread of your own. I just saw your post now.
So let us get to the troubleshooting...
1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
2. This has all the symptoms of a display problem. Do you have the latest version of your video card/graphics card according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card? If so, we are going to need to delete the BadDrivers.txt file. But I need the information in "1" to tell you how to get there and do that.
Some background information please....
1. How long have you been working with this version on its current computer operating system?
2. How would you class this issue "It worked before but not now" or "it never worked before"?
3. What is your project preset?
4. What are the properties of this .mts files...AVCHD video compression? 1080i or 1080p or other?
More later in the morning.

Background Task on Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer "hangs"

I recently upgraded my software from Elements 10 to Elements 12 and had a bit of trouble. Apparently both 10 and 12 have a way of launching an executable in the background which tends to get "stuck" on my system. I believe the problem may be related to the network configuration and software mix I live with, but I need to confirm my suspecions and find a way to control the problem. Here is what I know... I have always experienced a lot of problems using Elements with my NAS device which is a 1TB usb 2.0 connected disk system attached to my Linksys E3000 Router. When I got the router, the BIOS software did not correctly support NTFS file systems, but subsequent updates eventually made this possible if you formatted the removable drive on a system in NTFS, you could then hang it on the router and "see" the contents, serve them via Windows Media Player, or iTunes, etc., etc. from a computer atteched to the network, or via wirless directly off the router. I archived all my photos out on this file system and have successfully indexed it for use with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer, but... When I went to install Elements 12 software I tried to install it without first removing Elements 10, and on a system which had run Elements 10 since the last full reoboot. During the install of 12 under "shared services install" the installation process "Hung" on a background task with a name like "AdobeElementsAnalyzer.exe" which only shows up in Windows 7 task manager as a running process, not as a full program, but because the file was locked by the system, the install hung. I eventually figured out that I needed to start the install of Elements 12 software immediately after having rebooted so that this program was not present in the background, and succeeded in completing an install of Elements 12 on my Windows 7 X64 system. This system required a "special" software download for Premiere Elements, but not for Photoshop Elements which is only apparently avaliable under 32bit emulation mode. I finally got the "shared components" portion of the X64 Premiere Elements to complete an install, and then set about verifying the onversion/upgrade of the indexes to my photos and video stored out on the NAS. The same rogue task which prevented me from doing the install showed up agian, taking all the system resources away from my dual processor Intel chip and refusing to let go. I was forced to terminate it from the task manager. I strongly suspect that my "issues" are in part due to the extrordinary network latency imposed by the drive connection I'm using to index my photos and videos, and I'm looking for a better approach to using the editors against my master catalog of files, as well as figruing out just what I need to do to insure that all the files I have stored on the drive are accessible by the organizer when I need to pull a copy to work on.
A complication is that I have two "legacy" Windows XP systems on my network, a reasonably fast Windows Vista Business desktop, and the Windows 7 X64 processor system which is the most powerful system I have. The Windows file security enhancements to NTFS changed from XP, to Vista, to Windows 7, so files which get saved to the NAS disk inherit a variety of different levels of security under windows. I have occasionally gone to one of my old XP boxes and "wiped" the security settings by resetting everything via Windows XP. Because the NAS is so slow, this process can take several hours and must not be interrupted by attempts to do anything affecting the NAS by any of my other networked computers. To avoid problems with my photo archive, it makes sense to me to do all my editing on copies which have been extracted from the NAS archive and stored on the C: drive (boot drive) of my Win X64 system.
What I seriously need to know is this: When/If I define a "watched" portion of my file system, rather than taking the time to manually import every little change to my photo archives, can I expect the Photoshop Elements Organizer to work properly as long as everything stored on the NAS is stored via the same system which runs Elements with the same active "user" in control so that all the windows 7 file security settings putting stuff on the mapped NAS drive remain properly secured under Win 7 X64? Frankly I don't care if the files appear "read only" to every other system and identity on my network, but I do need to be able to "see" them. I have been able to view slide shows and movies stored on the NAS via both my networked iPad, my Apple TV, and using Samsung's funky android and Windows compatible software. Frankly, I doubt that Microsoft or Apple has full understanding and control of the environment where there is no host "server" other than the eprom based stuff my Linksys E3000 loads to emulate early Windows Media Management architecture, but I mange to get it to work as long as I don't try anything sophisticated with the file permissions. As a fall back, can I expect individual "imported" bits out on the NAS to remain stable if indexed and used only by the Elements Organizer running on my Win 7 X64 system?
I am seriously considering converting an old WinXP desktop into a UNIX box which could be configured as a "Server" for everything stored on the NAS and be done with my problems in return for the power required to run the server all the time so stuff is there when I need it. Any recommendations?

Adobe hasn't said whether it officially supports PSE 7 on Windows 7. But reports are starting to trickle in that PSE 7 works fine on Windows 7 for most people, though a couple people have reported crashes. My PSE 7 seems to work fine, though I primarily use PSE 8 now. This is all very preliminary, and we'll learn more as more people post here.

Hot to force Premiere Elements Organizer to save my notes?

Hello,
Is there a way to force Premiere Elements Organizer (PEO) to save the notes I have typed in?
I have been reviewing .AVI files all day. I have summarize each file and written the summary in the notes field of the Premiere Elements Organizer (PEO) for each file. I just went back to look at the notes I have made. I found that many of them are totally blank now as though my work was never saved. Much or all of my work is lost.
How can I force PEO to save the changes I have made so I do not lose them all again?
Am I doing something wrong that is preventing my work from being saved?
It would be good if PEO had an "auto-save" feature that would save the state of things every so many minutes to prevent lost work.

I will work on this some more in the morning.
At this writing all my Premiere Elements 12 Information Notes are retained.
I am not sure how much of a help the following will be, but, as for general information, did you know that
you can write notes within a project using unnumbered markers?

Newbie question about Premiere Elements Organizer

This is a pre-newbie – let’s say “virgin” question. If there is an answer already posted elsewhere, please send me a link.
I’m about to install Premiere Elements 9 to do some clip editing and animation from still images. This would be my first attempt to edit clip or do some animation from still images, besides using Windows Media Maker with my HS students. However, I have been a pretty serious photographer for 20+ years with 1,000’s of images which I now work on in PS CS5 Extended and Lightroom 3. I use Adobe Bridge and LR library to catalogue and organize my images. I’d like to continue to use AB / LR Library to organize my new clips and projects. From reading Bill’s posts, it seems I can use Adobe Bridge, copy my original file, resize in Photoshop, and save in a new folder to use for a Premiere project. This would seem to be most intuitive way for me to work. I already have keywords, metadata, actions in PS… etc. But I think Bill is using Premiere Pro, while I’ll be installing Premiere Elements, which comes bundled with Elements Organizer. Do I need to install or use Elements Organizer? What are the advantages/disadvantages or EO? I guess I’m a little worried about installing the programs and having EO automatically acquire images using presets/defaults that I don’t want to use as well as issues with subfolders, etc. I'm running Windows 7.
Thanks
FYI- this is a great animation project

EO doesn't do much with the files themselves, just maintains links to the sources.
For folders you are best to use the folder view in EO to move them as it doesn't keep track of folder locations when changed in Windows Explorer. From the File options in Bridge I think that is pretty much the same.

I would like to get as much input as possible on the advantages/disadvantages of using EO vs say Adobe Bride from others who use Elements Organizer.
Any insights would be appreciated.
Can anyone who has used both EO and AB comment on how EO handles missing (hidden) files, syncing issues, computer hanging up or crashing....etc?
I've only messed around a little with Bridge. But to me it seems lightening fast by comparison to EO. The features Albums and Tags in EO seem much the same as Collections and Keywords in Bridge.
EO has Face Recognition abilities - getting more sophisticated in each version. I've not seen this feature in Bridge.
By default EO allows you to open a file in any of:
Photoshop
Photoshop Elements
Premiere Elements
A single used-defined application (I have mine set to ColorPilot).
Bridge only seems to link to Photoshop.
Missing files can be located manually or by allowing EO to search for them.

How should I set up Premiere elements organizer?

I'm using PS CS5 and Lightroom 3. I'm about to install Premiere Elements 9 to do some editing and animation. Since I can view my images and clips in LR library and also Adobe Bridge, what are the advantages or disadvantages of PE organizer? How should I set up the defaults and use PE Organizer? I'm a little concerned about using the same file in different programs. For example, say i have an image that's already been processed for printing and has a specific color profile/ color space that I want to use now as a starting point for an animation in PE. I just don't want to end up writing over previous data but I'm also concerned about having 15 verisions of the same file. Any suggestions for peace of mind? I'm running windows 7.

I would recommend posting your inquiry to the Premiere Elements forum.

Premiere Elements organizer with Premiere CS5

I'm looking for an easy way to capture AVCHD from my camera and organize the clips before importing them into Premiere CS5. What are the best options to do this? I was considering loading Premiere Elements on my PC and using the Organizer to do this. Is there a better way?

I would think that Bridge can do what you need, without some of the extra baggage of the PrE Organizer. However, if there is something that is very important to you, let us know, as someone might have other ideas.
Good luck,

Adobe premiere elements organizer appcrash msvcr90.dll windows 7

adobe premiere elements 11 organizer appcrash msvcr90.dll. Hoe dit oplossen ?

Elements Organizer 11 on Windows 7 (assumed 64 bit).
When did you post this question before today. If all you posted today is all you sent in this thread, then be advised that this is not Adobe. Rather user to user. The replies are not automatic and depend
on a reply from a user based on the use's personal schedule.
I am not sure if the following will target the "msvvcr90.dll" but consider the following for the "crash" aspects
1. Delete the Elements Organizer 11 settings file named psa.prf found
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Elements Organizer
13.0
Organizer
and in the Organizer Folder is the psa.prf file that you delete or disable by renaming it from psa.prf to psa.prfOLD.
2. If the Elements Organizer 11 will stay open long enough, create a new catalog.
See Elements Organizer 11 File Menu/Manage Catalog/Catalog Manager.
3. Some times certain formats can bring the Elements Organizer down. What kind of files have you been
importing into the Elements Organizer and are the crashes associated with certain source files?

Premiere Elements 7 missing project settings...

Hi all,
I am using Premiere Elements v7.0 with a Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder attached. I am having some issues getting my project settings to match my HDV camcorder and the HD video i want to import. When I launch Elements and the welcome screen is open, i click "new project" followed by "change settings" under project settings. From here my understanding is that I should be able to choose from multiple presets that correspond to the quality of the video i am inputing. However, when i open "change settings" it is completely blank. The settings are defaulted to NTSC-DV Standard 48khz and I can't change them. I have tried having my camcorder plugged in and turned on thinking maybe Elements needed to see my camcorder, but the list is still blank.
If i try to get media from my HDV camcorder, i get the message "your current camera setting is different from your project settings. Results may not be optimized." After i close that error message, i am able to playback video and capture, but I am unsure if it is in high-def or not. I would think the project settings need to match the HD quality that i am importing.
Can anyone help me with this issue? Has anyone seen or heard of this before? Thanks for your time.

Hoorah, I have solved this problem on my machine (Intel Quad core with Vista x64 and 8GB RAM).
I sent a support email to Adobe over a week ago but they have not even had the grace to acknowledge receipt. What an amazing way to treat customers that have paid for your product! And that's after providing screen grabs and detailed descriptions of the symptoms.
Anyway, to the solution.
After many attempts to install, uninstall, repair install etc with UAC turned off, Virus protection turned off and Running everything as Administrator, nothing would yield any Preset choices for new projects.
So I did the following:
- uninstalled my paid for version
- downloaded and installed the Trial version from Adobe.com (670MB download) (I ran the exe to extract the files, stopped it automatically rolling into the Setup routine, right clicked on the msi file in the extracted folder and chose "Install")
- Ran the Trial version once - all the presets were available. But I could not activate the Trial with my genuine serial number (?!)
- uninstalled the trial version by right clicking on the msi in the extracted folder and choosing "Uninstall" - this removed most of the program but interestingly left behind a few folders in the Program Files (x86)\Adobe Premiere Elements 7 folder, in particular the "Settings" folder and all its sub-folders which is where the Project presets are stored
- installed my paid for version by right clicking on the msi file on the DVD and choosing "Install", and entering the serial number at the start of the install routine)
Hey presto, I have a fully functioning install with a full choice of presets.
I have been careful to describe the exact steps I followed. I suspect that "Installing" the "msi" file has exactly the same effect as running the Setup.exe but I have no interest in going through any more installs/uninstalls to prove it! Interestingly, the "uninstall" right click against the msi to remove the trial version does not throw up any Adobe dialogue boxes - it seems to be a Windows level removal, but it leaves the vital folders behind.
I have no idea why the trial version will not let you install the legitimate serial number - the purchased version accepts it but the Trial puts up a red cross when you enter it.
I hope this works for others. If someone is willing to try it, it may be as simple as having a fully populated "Settings" folder present. Extracting the contents of "settings.zip" from the Trial download (it's in the CoreTemplates folder) into the following folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0\settings) may be sufficient.

Premiere Elements - Organizer Help/Question.

I have another posting out here but maybe I am not being clear enough so I will pose the question another way.
I have a .mp4 file which contains 60 short pieces (happens to be football highlights) all strung together as one contiguous video.
What I am simply trying to do is to break it down for making a handful of highlight videos, each with a different angle. (ex Offense, Defense, Rushing, Passing, etc)
This is the basic outline of how I logically see it happening. Problem is that I am can't figure out step 2:
1) Cut it down into 60 individual videos (which I did and currently have in my project) using the Split/Clip functions of Elements.
2) Save the pieces off as individual video clips so that they can be rated/ranked/categorized in Organizer.
3) Polish/edit the individual pieces.
4) Organize and assemble the various videos using the clips.
For the life of me I can't get
a) Elements to allow me to save of my projects as individual clips.
and
b) Get the Organizer to allow me to bring my clips in.
I am using PE 11.
Does this make sense? Does anyone have any insight to offer?

Ok, sounds good.
I will just have to squirrel away copies of my project then build my different flavors the hard way.
I may be look at other tools before I resort to that. I just hate to go through the headache of breaking it all down again but in the long haul could be worth it.
This just seems like the hard way to go about this task but then again I am a software guy and think in terms of reusable components. Maybe that mentality just doesnt work for video.
Oh well, thanks to all of you for your help.

Does upgrading from Premiere Elements 12 to 13 solve the Organizer thumbnail problem?

Thumbnails do not show up after importing clips into Premiere Elements 12 Organizer. I've tried right clicking on a clip and telling it to recreate the thumbnail but it doesn't work. I've tried refreshing and repairing the catalog. I've even started a new catalog and reimported the files. The system says it's creating thumbnails but they still do not show up. Does upgrading from Premiere Elements 12 to 13 solve the Organizer thumbnail problem?

listiak
That is one of those questions best answered by evaluating Elements Organizer13 with your specific files in your specific computer environment.
Each of the Elements Organizer versions often appears to carry along its own baggage.
One of the things that came up about Elements Organizer 13 thumbnails recently was a problem with files with MPEG2
video compression. The Adobe word on this was that this is only an Elements Organizer 13 tryout issue...supposed not to exist
in the purchased version.

Premiere Elements 9 Project Media View List & Icon Icons Gone

Today at another forum that I frequent, a Premiere Elements 9 user was distressed because he could not find the List (Ctrl + Page Up) & Icon (Ctrl _ Page Down) icons that were found in the prior version of the Project Media View. The Icon view was particularly useful for sorting media before dragging to the Timeline or for the Create Slideshow feature. Now in Premiere Elements 9, all you have are your media in a list format with no option to sort.
This person simultaneously posted his question at another forum for which he received a reply and a workaround which included going into the Elements Organizer/Create/SlideShow Editor and create a slideshow that could be outputted (Edit in Premiere Elements) back into Premiere Elements 9. I would take issue with that suggested approach since I believe that there is an easier and quicker workaround to overcome the inconvenient loss of those features in Premiere Elements 9 Project Media View.
First, the questions and then my workaround for this situation
Does anyone know if Adobe is aware of this situation and intends to correct this oversight or intentional change in features?
Has anyone come up with his/her favorite workaround for this matter?
Bottom Line for my workaround: From Premiere Elements 9 workspace, go to Elements Organizer workspace and create a sorted album of the media brought into Premiere Elements 9 Get Media/Files & Folders. Then exist Elements Organizer, opening to Premiere Elements workspace where one uses Filter by: Select Album and does just that.
I will post a step by step on my suggested workaround if requested.

I was trying to be discreet and have us still remain friends, so I did not mention the responder at the other forum by name or place. You let the cat out of the bag. OK, no offense taken please, but I thought that your workaround "Elements Organizer/Create/Slideshow/Edit With Premiere Elements" was "not so good" a choice. I will owe up to that.
None of the workarounds are as good as the Adobe Icon View of prior version, but....
Workaround 1. If your interest is getting sorted photos for using the Create Slideshow Feature in Project Media View. The secret is to put the photos in a Folder and then move the photos around in the Folder. I can go into the choreography on that if need be. Then highlight all the photos in the Folder, select Create Slideshow. Even if you do not go the Create Slideshow route, this is one way to get sorted photos for the Timeline.
Workaround 2. If the Create Slideshow feature is not involved. Going the create Album route in Elements Organizer.
Premiere Elements 9 Get Media/Files and Folders
Add Media Dialog
Select photos, Click Open
Select Organizer in the row above the line of Organize/Edit/Disc Menus/Share to open the Elements Organizer.
In the Elements Organizer, go to the Albums category and expand that category, then click on the green cross, and select New Album. On that right side of the Elements Organizer you will see a window with two tabs, Content and Sharing. Select Content and drag your media from the major window on the left to the Content window on the right. Name the album and click Done.
You will then see your Album name listed in the Album’s category. Click the green icon to the left of the Album name. When you do, you will see thumbnails for your photos numbered sequentially in the major window on the left side of the Elements Organizer. Sort the photos there as you want them arranged on the Timeline.Then exit Elements Organizer via File Menu/Exit.
The Premiere Elements Organize workspace will open. Go to the Filter by: Select Album and do just that, selecting the sorted album that you just created. Highlight the photos and drag them to the Timeline.
That is what I have come up with so far. I have been doing a lot of retesting of the principle to make sure that it would work more than just the first time.
What do you think? Contribution or first class dud??

Just another possible variation on the thought with regard to Create Slideshow....it might merit thinking about numerically or alphabetically ordering your photos in a Folder beforehand and then bringing the Folder into Premiere Elements so that you have the Folder in Project Media View...Select All...Right Click Highlight....Create Slideshow?????
