Premiere Elements 11 Project Assets Panel

I've added media from my hard drive, where the file numbers are in numerical order.  However, when the files arrive the Project Assets panel they are no longer in the original numerical order. I've tried the Sort by button but this doesn't arrange them into numerical order. Will somebody offer a solution please?

Colin of Bishopthorpe
If you have your files in numerical order in a folder on the computer hard drive, you should be able to import that whole folder into Premiere Elements 11 via its Add Media/Files and Folders to get the folder into Project Assets (does not matter Grid or List view).
From the Grid view perspective...
a. double click the imported folder now in Project Assets
You will find the folder items ordered numerically
b. if you want to get those ordered items back into the folder, then click on the icon to the right of the search field in Project Assets. That icon will probably be named "My new video .(name of your project)"
Another approach is to create an album for the items in the Elements Organizer that comes with the program and then import the album from Elements Organizer to Premiere Elements in order to keep your numerical sequence.
Until proven otherwise, clicking on the name header in Project Assets (in List view) will not arrange your items in numerical order if they have become unsorted. If your items show up as 98, 100, 101, 102, 103. all that the name clicking will do is to reverse the order (to 103, 102, 101, 100, 98) and not sort them out.
There are some possibilities in the List view using the folder import approach. More details to follow if necessary, but basically move files out and back into the folder in Project Assets List view to get the necessary ordering. But, I find this an unpreferred detail to follow up on.
Please review and do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions on anything that I have written.
Thank you.

  • Premiere Elements 12 Project Assets panel will not drop. Reloaded software and problem persists.

    My project assets panel went kaflooey. I've seen this question raised in other Premiere 12 forums, but never fixed. I removed and reloaded the software and the problem persists.

    spocksclownshoes
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running? I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit for now.
    First try...deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs.
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    12.0
    and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which
    the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that you can
    see the complete path cited.
    If no success with the above, then...
    With video or still in Documents and Premiere Elements opened to the Expert workspace, right click the computer taskbar and select Cascade Windows.
    Then drag video or still from Documents into the Premiere Elements Expert workspace Timeline.
    Does Project Assets pop open?
    Please review and consider, and then we will decide what next based on the details in your reply.
    Thank you.

  • The Project Assets panel is empy when I open my project the next time

    When I Add Media the Project Assetts and save the Project, the Asset file is empty when I open the project the next time.

    BobHp17
    Please excuse if I repeat, but I just want to make that I am not taking anything for granted.
    1. Given that I opened Premiere Elements 12 new project, and that the Expert workspace Project Assets is as shown in screenshot 1, unopened. All I did here was to open the program and this was the view.
    At this point, Project Assets will remained closed until
    a. I click on the triangle next to the words "Project Assets" (then I will have an empty Project Assets since I have not yet imported media. See screenshot 2.
    or
    b. I import media into the project.
    While you are working in the Expert workspace with your media on the Timeline, do you click on the triangle next to the words Project Assets to close Project Assets so that its presence does not obstruct your view of the project while you are editing?
    It is normal for you to open this saved/closed project and see the Project Assets panel closed. To open it again, please refer to the above two mentions. I just want to make sure you are distinguishing between an empty Project Assets panel and one that is closed and that needs to be opened to see its contents.
    If you have content on the Timeline, then you "must" have a thumbnail for each it in Project Assets. There are 2 views for Project Assets - which one of them are you in...Grid View or List View? See Panel Options/Views/Grid View and List View.
    Panel Options icon is to the right of the Pin icon.
    Another thought, what are the properties of the media that you have on the Timeline which are not being represented in the save/closed/reopened project's Project Assets?
    Let us confirm the details. If confirmed, we may want to go to deleting the settings file.

  • Error Importing Premiere Elements project into Premiere Pro CS5

    Hi,
    I am working on a multi-part video project that I started in Premiere Elements 8.  I put in hours upon hours of editing on the first part and I found that the more I edited, the more often the program would crash (infuriating!).  So I started using Premiere Pro CS5 to produce the second part, resolving to come back to the first part later.  Well, I've come back around to needing this first part done, and it is just undoable in Elements (crashes every 20 seconds!).  I'd like to import that project into CS5 if possible.  The help documentation says this should be perfectly possible... but I'm having no luck.
    When I attempt to open my Premiere Elements project in Premiere Pro, it tells me the project must be converted from Elements .prel to Pro .prproj, and I click through the prompts as normal.  But then as soon as it starts trying to open the project, I get this:
    "The Project could not be loaded. It may be damaged or contain outdated elements."
    I downloaded the Premiere Elements 9 trial to see if it would be less crashy (and it is), but I'd really prefer to have all my video in one program, and CS5 does the best job (and has most of my hours invested).  Elements 9 opens the "damaged" project just fine and I can edit and export normally, so why can't CS5?
    Am I stuck recreating the project from the ground up in CS5?

    In very general terms, a contemporary PrE Project (PREL), will Open in PrPro, with the steps that you outlined.
    Now, there are all sorts of considerations, for aspects that will not likely work:
    Instant Movie/Themes, as PrPro cannot read those
    Some Effects that PrPro does not have, like the NewBlue FX
    Some Transitions that PrPro does not have
    Some Title animation Presets, that PrPro does not have
    Do you have any of the above in your PrE Project? There are probably other circumstances, but those are all that come immediately to my mind.
    The simpler the PrE Project, the greater the likelyhood that it will Convert to a PrPro PRPROJ file.
    PrE 8 and PrPro CS5 should be close enough to work, again in those general terms. I can Open simple PrE 4.0 Projects in PrPro 2.0, but cannot Open PrE 7, 8 or 9 Projects in PrPro 2.0.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere Elements Project file wount open in Premiere Pro CS6

    My friend Just bought Premiere elements 13 and created a Project. I cant open the Project in Premiere Pro CS6. Getting this error message:
    "The Project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened."
    The Project workes fine in Premiere Elements 13
    What can I do? What is wrong?

    If you have done this:
    Import a Premiere Elements project (Windows only)
       Select File > Open Project.   
       Browse to an Adobe Premiere Elements project file, with file extension PREL.   
       Click Open.   
    Premiere Pro converts the Premiere Elements project file to a Premiere Pro project file.
    and it wont work Elements 13 is probably too new for CS6.

  • Just "upgraded" to Premiere Pro CC (Mac) - what about my Premiere Elements Projects?

    Hi all:
    I just purchased a Creative Cloud membership - and was very excited to get started... However, I have just learned that I cannot open my Premiere Elements projects in Premiere Pro - because I use a Mac.  Does anyone have any suggestions for the BEST way for me to be able to work on my existing Elements projects in Pro? I'm assuming that I need to export the Elements projects into .mov or .mpeg formats, etc. and then import them that way.  Obviously I will only be able to edit the "finished product" - and not undo/redo effects/transitions/etc..  If I'm on the right track, can someone let me know the best export settings to use?
    ALSO - I had been using the Elements Organizer for all of my clips/video etc. - I'm going to assume that Premiere Pro does not interface with this?
    Thanks VERY much in advance for any help!
    Kim

    So... why does Adobe claim Premiere Pro CC supports PREL project files?
    http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/transferring-importing-files.html
    I work in Windows, and have found this not to be true. Anyone have any thoughts on why they are claiming compatibility?

  • Can you use more than one computer to edit the same Premiere Elements Project?

    I am using Premiere Elements 10.  I have built a new project on my desktop computer because the desktop has a firewire port to capture video from my camcorder and my laptop doesn't have a firewire port.  The project is stored on my home network.  I seem to be able to do editing fine using the desktop computer that the project was created on, but it won't load up right on the laptop for editing.  Premiere Elements is configured the same on both computers.  I guess my question is - does Premiere Elements store something on on the computer that the project was created on that is not being stored on the network drive?    How can I fix the problem so that I can edit on my laptop? The laptop is a top of the line Dell XPS with an i7 processor that I use for other Premiere projects, so the laptops ability is not an issue.
    Thanks
    Bill

    Yes, having files stored on a HDD, but having the letter change between machines is a problem. The Project file (PREL) is only an XML database, with links to the Assets. Those links are Absolute Paths, so if anything changes, from drive letter, to file name, the link is broken.
    I have over a dozen externals, that I use to migrate Projects between my main two computers. Each has had its drive letter set in OS of each computer. I started with Z:\ and worked down. Each drive has a lable on it with the designated drive letter. Unfortunately, I ran out of letters, as the workstation has a ton of HDD's and burners, so I had to start over. That does mean that I cannot have both Z:\ drives plugged in at the same time, but that has never been an issue. I wish that Windows would allow for double drive letters, say ZZ:\, but still, I have a handful of letters to use - just too many externals for those letters...
    Happy editing,

  • Premiere Elements 12 Effects-Panel not working

    Hi there!
    I've recently updated to Elements 12 (from 10) and I am more or less happy, but since today, I can't use the effects-panel anymore. When I click any effect, the options won't pop up (see attached screenshot).
    Does anyone know what to do?
    I'm running the latest version of OS X and Premiere Elements.
    All the best!

    It seems that you have made some progress. Please compare the first screenshot, apparently before uninstall/restall. Note that all you get for Color is Hue. Whereas, in the second screenshot, apparently after uninstall/reinstall, you now have Color with Hue, Lightness, Saturation, and Vibrance.
    And, your screenshot of fx Effects/Generate/Lens Flare shows just one effect which what is to be expected. There is only one choice there. Are you saying that you cannot apply that effect to your clip?
    Baseline questions.
    Premiere Elements 12. Have you switched from 12 to the 12.1 Update via the program's Help Menu/Updates? If not, please do so.
    Are you working in the Expert workspace or Quick workspace of the program? The answer to that might cut down on the expectations.
    The Quick workspace has less choices under Adjust than the Expert. Compare

    It is well known the Premiere Elements Mac does not have all the effects of Premiere Elements Windows, but I do not think this is a Mac Windows matter. But, SG is a Mac user and can confirm that possible aspect of the matter.
    This is what I am suggesting
    After updating from 12 to 12.1
    1. Delete the Premiere Elements 12 Mac Settings File.

    or
    http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/troubleshoot-damaged-projects-premiere-element s.html  (Section numbered 3).
    SG can give us some guidance on this if you have problems doing this.
    2. If that does work, then I would suggest deactivation (Sign Out) of the program, followed by uninstall, ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner), reinstall.

    By the way, do you have QuickTime installed on your computer; running program Run As Adminstrator and from User Account with Administrative Privileges? Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    How long did you work with Premiere Elements 12 before you saw this problem...the very start, never worked or it worked for a while but then did not work?
    We will be watching for further details.
    Thank you.

  • Bringing Quicktime into a Premiere Elements project

    Steve,
    I notice you say "before you bring them into Premiere Elements.". Sorry if this sounds like a totally ridiculous question, but how about bringing them into Elements, converting them to AVI's in there, and then working on those AVI files. Is it necessary to convert them BEFORE letting them anywhere near Elements?
    Phil O'Brien

    I too have had better luck getting all of my Assets in the correct form, Video and Audio, prior to Import into PE, or Pro. Convert outside with the proper tool,
    b THEN
    Import.
    That is why all of my Encore DVD Projects use only DV-AVI and AC3 files. They work flawlessly. Kinda' boring, but that's the kind of guy that I am. If I can do it blindfolded, there is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes, just for kicks, I see how quickly I can author a DVD with 0 errors.

  • Trouble opening Premiere Elements project in Premiere Pro

    Hi All,
    Just bought Production Premium CS6. I've been working on a project in Premiere Elements 9, and I'd like to continue working on it in the new snazzy Premiere Pro CS6. But when I try to open the project file I get the following error:
    "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements."
    I can still open the project in PrE, though, and I can even open other PrE projects in PrPro.
    I've tried opening autosave versions, but always get the same error.
    Any thoughts on what else to try? I really hate the idea of dropping so much money on PrPro and having to continue editing in PrE.
    Thanks!
    Martin

    So long as the versions of PrE and PrPro are contemporary, the PREL (PrE Project file) should open, or Import, with some caveats:
    There are many 3rd party Effects and Transitions, that are in PrE, that do not exist in PrPro - hence their use can cause issues. An example would be the NewBlue FX Effects/Transitions.
    There are features in PrE, that do not exist in PrPro, and these can cause problems. An example would be Themes/Instant Movie.
    PrE has a tiny subset of the Sonic AuthorCore modules (a larger subset makes up the basis of Encore) used for DVD/BD authoring, and if one has done any authoring in PrE, such as Create Menus, or the application of Chapter, or Menu Markers. Those authoring aspects can cause problems.
    First, I would attempt to Import (not Open) the PREL into PrPro.
    If that does not work, go back into PrE, and check for 3rd party Effect/Transitions, and remove any. Check for Menu or Chapter Markers, or Menus, and remove those. Same for Themes, or Instant Movies - remove all. Try again.
    Now, PrE 9 and CS6 are not really contemporary. PrE 9 came out during the run of CS5 (not CS6), and PrE 10 (changes made in the program) is closer to CS5.5, and perhaps CS6. There could well be just enough difference, as to create problems there, and a PrE 9 PREL just might be far enough back, as to preclude CS6 being able to either Open, or Import it.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Premiere Elements project imported into Premiere Pro CS5.5 becomes unusable after first save

    I have Premiere Pro CS5.5, and I have been trying for some time to successfuly edit an old project that was originally created in Premiere Elements (not sure which version--probably 7.0). It has the .prel extension. The project imports just fine, and I am able to edit it initially. However, if I save my new Premiere Pro project, close Pr and try to open the new project again, I get the "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements." error message. I have tried many of the various project recovery suggestions people have made in this forum and elsewhere online, but none of them seem to work. I even opened the project in XML Wrench, but there were no errors returned when I clicked "check is well formed." Once I close the project after doing some initial editing, it is gone. Is this a known issue? Is there any way I can be able to edit the old project in Pr and save my work? Thanks!

    Have you tried using the project manager to re-copy all elements and timeline etc into a totally new directory. I'm just curious to see if that would make a difference. I'd be intrested to see if when making a new project in this manor if it would because as you have stated the normal save methods haven't.

  • Help me import images from Photoshop into a Premiere Elements project!

    How do I add photos from Photoshop to existing Premire Elements project.

    If you have edited the Images in Photoshop, just Save_As PSD (or TIFF). Set the Still Duration to the desired time, in PrE's Edit>Preferences. Then, Import them into PrE. From the Project Panel, just drag the Image(s) to the Timeline, and to an appropriate Video Track. Say, if you want to place the Image between Clips, just drag it there, and the rest of the Clips/Images on that Video Track will Ripple.
    If you want to replace parts of a Clip, with that Image, just hold down Ctrl/Cmd and drag to the appropriate location.
    If you want to overlay it, with an existing Clip, just place it onto a higher Video Track. Note: this yields the same general result, as the method above.
    I strongly suggest that you Scale your Image in Photoshop, to match, or nearly so, the Frame Size of your Project's Preset.
    Good luck, and hope that helps,

  • Opening Premiere Elements Project In Premiere Pro

    I am evaluating (and just starting to learn) Premiere Pro CS5. I have a project I've done in Premiere Elements 7, and understand I can open this in Premier Pro. When I do this, it wants to convert the project, which I say ok to. However, after this, it opens showing the various clips, etc. in the project window, but there is nothing in the timeline window.
    I was expecting/hoping that all the timelines from the Elements project would transfer over - is that supposed to happen?
    Thanks for any assistance on this.

    When on Imports a Project, the Sequence's Timeline is usually in a Bin. Twirl open the Bins, until you find that, and then Dbl-click on it. That should open the Timeline.
    Good luck, and remember that there are elements in PrE, that will not translate to PrPro, such as Instant Movies, Themes, and several Transitions and Effects, such as those from New BlueFX, as they do not exist in PrPro. Otherwise, you should be able to Convert the PREL to a PRPROJ file, and edit it. Note: you cannot go the other direction, from PrPro to PrE.
    Enjoy you tests, and also remember that if you have the trial, nothing MPEG will work.

  • PS CS6 Won't open .prel (Premiere Elements) project files

    Shouldn't I be able to move video files seamlessly back and forth between PS CS6 and Premiere Elements 11?
      (Hi Pierre!  Great to see you are still here!)
    Paz

    Thanks, Curt and Bill,  I think I'm beginning to understand.
    In the regular workflow of editing my video files in Premiere Elements I've been saving as a .prel file under File>save as.
    I've exported a couple of things to YouTube just to figure out how but I haven't finished editing anything major so have not done the big, at the end, it's ready to be written to disc, share type of file.
    I've been experimenting with manual camcorder settings, trying to get good lighting.  If my skies aren't blown everything else is dark as mud.  I tried adjusting the lighting in PreEl, but am not happy with the results.
    Then I learned about Adobe's new mandatory upgrade, use it or lose it - policy at the same time I learned PS CS6 could edit video.  I'm much more comfortable with Photoshop than Premiere, so I've upgraded... and now all the edits I've already done are useless... (without Bill's work around, for which I thank you, Bill !!!)
    I guess I'm really stupid not to have known that already, Millennium, but for years Adobe has been talking about their 'creative suite' and how everything should work seamlessly from program to program. 
    Bill,
    Is there a list somewhere of which files PS CS6 will open?
    Suppose I want to adjust lighting, color balance, etc., in Photoshop first and then export to Premiere Elements?  Which file type should I save in from Photoshop to go to Pre E?
    I'm guessing that Photoshop is going to have better color management and image adjustments while Pre El is going to have a more thorough video editing ability, right?
    thanks,
    Paz
