Premiere Elements 11 Slide Show Resolution Issue

Whenever I make a slide show using Premiere Elements 11, it significantly reduces the resolution of my pictures.  How do I fix this?

Pat
A workflow for you to explore....
Premiere Elements 11 presumed on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit in a NTSC setup
1. Batch crop/resize your photos to 1920 x 1080 16:9
2. Open Premiere Elements 11 its Expert workspace
Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings
In Change Settings, set the project preset to
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p30 @29.97
In the new project dialog that you see immediately before closing out of that area, make sure to have a check
mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project".
3. Back in the Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets to import your 100
photos into the project. (You can arrange your photos in order in a folder and then import the folder into the
project. When your drag that folder from Project Assets to the Timeline, the folder disappears and you have
all your photos on the Timeline in order. In your naming of the files, you might want to consider 0001 to 0100.
4. When it comes to export...
For 856 x 480 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second (when the video is stretch for display after encoding)
Publish+Share
Disc
DVD disc
with preset = NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD
For 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second - plays on Blu-ray or multimedia player, not DVD player
Publish+Share
Disc
AVCHD disc (this is going to be for DVD disc)
with preset = H.264 1920 x 1080i NTSC Dolby
For 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second - plays on Blu-ray or multimedia player, not DVD player
Publish+Share
Disc
Blu-ray (this is going to be for Blu-ray disc)
with preset = H.264 1920 x 1080i NTSC Dolby
The Premiere Elements 11 project preset which is the same for all of the outputs, gives the sharpest end product
photos at the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc level. Photo clarity should be the major perk of what is described above.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

  • Elements 7 Slide Show - resolution

    I am doing a slide show for the first time.  Photos were clear on the screen until I put them in the slide show.  In the slide show, they are no longer sharp when I run the slide show on my computer.  I need to put these on a disc to be shown on a screen for a group to watch.  Is there something I can do to make the pictures clearer?
    If you can help me, please use very basic steps.  I am very new to using this.  Thank you!

    please post some additional information
    (I know these are alot of questions, but we do need more information. So just ask if you do not understand my questions.)
    - post the specific choices that you made when you did the Output command from the PSE slide show editor.
    -- what is the resolution of the monitor on which you did the slideshow playback ?
    -- what software did you use for playback and did you play back at full screen  ?
    I need to put these on a disc to be shown on a screen for a group to watch. 
    We also need more information on the method of playback for viewing by the group.
    Projector hooked to a PC?  What software on the PC will be used for playback? What is the resolution setting for the projector?
    As an example, when I play back in a classroom where the projector is connected to a computer running Windows and playback is done using the Windows Media Player software,  I found I get best results if I match the output of the wmv file that I create from PSE slide show editor to the resolution at which the projector will be set.
    However, if the disc that you will be creating is a standard video DVD and the playback will be from a DVD player or DVD playing software, then you don't have a choice on resolution - it needs to be DVD-NTSC  (in the USA). In that case it is better to evaluate playback quality using DVD player software on your PC instead of evaluating full screen slideshow preview within PSE.

  • Importing Videos To Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Only Shows Black Screen

    Why is it Importing WMV Videos To Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Only Shows Black Screen.
    Thank You In Advance

    Forget about all the rest until you check out the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the current 1/2 wmv display related to a recent Windows Update kb file. I missed the wmv part of your initial question by focusing too much on the thread title.
    Here is a copy for your convenience
    Announcement: Windows Update Causes Half of Display to Be Blacked Out
    Hide Details
    MicroSoft has issued an Update for Windows, that is causing problems with Displays. The following is from Talbot McInnis, who tracked down this problem, and offers a fix:
    "MS bulliten MS13-057.  Specifically, on XP kb2834904 and on windows 7 kb2803821 is causing a problem
    For us, it occurs when decoding WMV9 files.  Not all uses of WMV decoding are affected, but I confirmed that when connecting the WMV decode DLL to a sample grabber for RGB32 video, the frames arrive black on top, so that points directly to decoding internals of the WMV Decode dll.
    You can uninstall these windows updates to resolve your problem."
    There are several threads on the problem that this Update is causing on the PrE and PrPro Forums, so one can get more details. So far, there is not another fix from either MS, or Adobe.
    Also, see this Adobe KB Article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/wmv-files-corrupted-import-or.h tml

    I think that is your answer. Please let us know if that worked for you.

  • Photoshop Elements 7, slide show?

    Photoshop Elements 7, slide show? 
    I am attempting to create a slide show and upload it to my web site. I follow step by step creation the show. Choose a template and export to FTP. The recommended upload address ftp.mydomain.com ( I do enter my actual domain name ) does not work. The message I get is “resolve FTP server address. I then tried the ftp address I use to upload changes to my site from Microsoft Expression 4, ftp://www.mydomain.com. That also does not work. I have attempted several versions with no luck. What am I missing?

    I have no problem uploading changes to my web site using ftp://www.mysite.com . I have been doing that for several years. It is only in PSE that I am having a problem. I have tried several versions of the FTP upload address beginning with the PSE recommended ftp.mysite.com and ending with the one I normally use.
    Thanks,

  • Converting m4a flies to mp3 that elements 9 Slide shows can use

    Don't forget to re-set your preferences afterwards.

  • Elements 9 slide show

    When I add media to elements 9 slide show, some of the pictures are cropped at top and bottom.  The pics show fine in organizer.  How do I get the complete pic added to slide show?

    When you select the image in slide area, the right panel shows two options- Crop to Fit or Fit to Slide. Try these options. The following screenshot shows the difference for an image when one of the two options are selected.
    Let me know if that helps!

  • How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

    Fortunen

    When you installed version 10 did you convert your previous catalog?
    If so, your projects should appear in the PSE10 Organizer. To search for them type PSESS into the search box.
    You should then be able to open the project by double clicking on  its thumbnail.
    Then choose Output >> Edit in Premier Elements

  • Photoshop Elements 4 Slide Show Tips

    I just spent a weekend making five slide shows with Photoshop Elements 4. I made PDF files and DVDs from all of them, and I experimented extensively. Here are some things I learned:
    Making a slide show in Elements 4 is simple and reasonably intuitive, especially if you are familiar with the Organizer. If youre not familiar with the Organizer, making a slide show gives you a good opportunity to become so. Its worth it.
    As with any computer task, theres a learning curve associated with making slide shows, but its a worthwhile curve to climb up. Once youre familiar with making slide shows, making new ones is easy, fun, and very productive.
    Elements 4 lets you output slide shows as PDF files (.PDF) or Movie Files (.WMV).
    When one of the PDF files is viewed on a computer with Adobe Viewer 7.0, the show is animated in accordance with the timing set up in Elements 4. When watching a slide show, the user can press ESC to stop the viewer from stepping through the slides. This enables navigation buttons that can be used to move from slide to slide. In this mode, Adobe Viewers Picture Tasks Menu, Select Tool, and Snapshot Tool can be used to process individual images. Some of the possible actions are selecting and copying all or part of the image, printing it, and even ordering prints online. These are excellent features, but not obvious to everyone, so you should tell your audience about them.
    You can view the WMV files on Windows Media Player or whatever multimedia software you use. If you have a DVD burner and simple DVD creation software, you can easily convert the WMV files to DVDs.
    There are some pros and cons of each of the three formats:
    PDF can be played on any computer with Adobe viewer. Sound track can be unstable. Can't see pan & zoom. CAN copy and process individual images IF you have Adobe Viewer 7.
    WMV can be played on any computer with Windows Media Player or similar. Sound track can be unstable. CAN see pan & zoom, which are excellent slide show features (try them). Can't copy images locally.
    You can make a
    DVD from WMV files. It has stable audio and shows pan & zoom, but resolution is lower than the other two.
    In a few hours (from 12/5/05 AM), you can download PDF versions of my slide shows from the reunions page at www.ussrankin.org. The BANQUET one has the most features.

    Louis,
    I hope you are happy with the decision to go with the Sony package. I really like the flexibility of both programs.
    I'd be happy to answer some questions. I changed my Adobe forum profile so that you can see my e-mail address. I'll leave it on there for a day or so.
    Have you tried the Sony website and forums?
    http://www.sonymediasoftware.com/forums/default.asp
    I have always found them helpful, much like this one.
    I have to admit that my skills on DVD Architect Studio 3 are not as good as they are on Movie Studio 6. I cut my teeth on the first full blown version of DVD Architect [1.0]. DVD Architect Studio has so many more features and flexibility, it is amazing. The only bad thing about DVD Architect Studio that I can see is that it won't encode the audio in Dolby AC-3 format, which is the preferred format. If you use the audio defaults in the program, however, you will be fine unless you are trying to cram more than 60 minutes worth of stuff onto the DVD. Personally, I think that is bad practice anyway, because who wants to watch an hour of your slideshows!

  • Elements 4 Slide Show Ordering Prints Online

    The PDF slide show can be stopped by pressing ESC. This takes Adobe Viewer out of Full Screen mode, letting people look at the slides one-by-one. Select and copy slides or areas of slides to the clipboard, etc. Nice. (It doesn't stop the music, though.)
    Also it gives access to Adobe Viewer's Picture Tasks. When I try to Order Prints Online, an Online Services Wizard starts up, showing Adobe Photoshop Services as the provider of services. The Next button is grayed out, and nothing I can do seems to fix it.
    Online Help isn't real great, but it says "The template you use to create the project determines what online service providers are available." There are vague references to older versions of Photoshop Elements.
    Questions:
    1) Why can't I order prints online?
    2) What's this templates business?

    Yep, I know this is user-to-user. I've gotten very good answers here, too.
    I experimented with the "slide resolution" (or whatever the name of it is). There wasn't much difference in file size between 800x600 and 1024x768, and I couldn't see much difference on the screen. Fonts seemed less jazzy with 1024x768, but it wasn't night and day.
    File size ballooned when I went to the next higher resolution. I think the visual quality improved, too, but I can't be sure.
    Looks like the higer resolution settings might be good if one distributed the slide show on CD.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 Slide Show Audio

    (Not Premiere version)
    In creating a slide show (in the Create Slide Show option out of the Organizer), after I add a mp3 audio clip for background music, I would like to adjust the volume as I do narration over the top of it.  The volume slider in the audio properties tab has no effect except for previewing the clip within the tab.  The volume during playback within the slide show remains constant.  What exactly does the volume slider do?

    I realize that you said not the Premiere version.
    However, I have not been able to lower the volume of the music during Narration using the Create Slide Show option of the Organizer (which is the create slide show that was previously in Photoshop Elements).
    1 -- FYI - Premiere Elements does have an Audio Mixer that can be used as an easy method to adjust the volume of the music during the time periods which you choose (for example, during the narration). So that is what I have used.
    2 -- Otherwise I think that you may need to use an audio editor to create your soundtrack volume adjustments and then add this "volume adjusted audio" to the Create Slide Show process.  Audacity is a free audio editor for which I have seen recommendations but I have no personal experience with it.
    3 -- What will be the final output format for this slide show ?  What software will you use to create that final output ?  Perhaps the answers to these questions will identify another alternative for your audio.

    When you do bring your SlideShow into Premiere Elements, this ARTICLE might be helpful.
    You mention that your Audio Clip is MP3, and you might find this ARTICLE useful.

  • IDVD Slide show audio issue

    Slide shows created on iDVD look and sound great during preview, however after burning to disk, audio drops out for about 5 seconds after every 99 slides?  I have been told that this is a known issue with iDVD.  How can I correct this error??

    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico:  http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie  as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast,  for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

  • Elements 10 Slide show is freezing up during transition of last image.

    I am trying to make a slide show to put on a web page.  The slide show runs until it is transitioning the last image and then freezes for a couple seconds and then jumps to the first image and is done.  I have changed the file sizes, the number of images used and no matter what, it still won't continue into the last image.  I have Windows 8...if that matters.  

    Thank you for helping me...I am learning a lot!
    *****Are you saying that you can play back that slideshow that you created in the Elements Organizer 10 slideshow editor. What are you playing back in the Elements Organizer 10
    Good question...so I tried opening it with other programs to see what would happen! I saved the file onto my desk top and can play it in Real Player, Elements, Movie Maker and Windows Media Player.  So, that is telling me it must be a yahoo problem??  Is there a way in Elements to make it loop?  That is what I am trying to do on my web site.  I just want the pictures to continuously play.
    a. the wmv video created in the slideshow edit and outputted Save As A File Movie (.wmv)? If so, what did you set as the Slide Size...Web Size or other?   Web size
    b. other
    How are you uploading this .wmv file to your web page?
    I have Yahoo Sitebuilder.  In that program, all I do is "insert" a video.   It takes several types of files...including the .wmv file.

  • Elements 4 Slide Show PDF File Size

    My a 36-slide show with music ends up as a 6.76 MB PDF file. Are there techniques for reducing the file size?
    My attempts have had mystifying results. I fould that 2 of the original images were multi-megabyte BMP files, so I replaced them one-by-one with much smaller JPGs, and made PDFs after each step. (Miraculously, when I edited the original photos, the edits automatically flowed down into the slide show images.)
    When I made the replacements and created new PDFs, the size didn't shrink accordingly. It appears that Elements makes its own JPGs from the photos in the slide show, so the size of the original doesn't matter.
    But replacing the first big file with a smaller one slightly INCREASED the size of the PDF, from 6.76 MB to 6.79. Replacing the second one increased it again from 6.79 to 6.80. Small changes, but mysterious.
    BTW, taking out the music (built-in looping audio from Elements) reduced the file size from 6.76 to 5.87 MB.
    Are there other ways to reduce the size of the PDF file?

    Yep, I know this is user-to-user. I've gotten very good answers here, too.
    I experimented with the "slide resolution" (or whatever the name of it is). There wasn't much difference in file size between 800x600 and 1024x768, and I couldn't see much difference on the screen. Fonts seemed less jazzy with 1024x768, but it wasn't night and day.
