Premiere Elements 12, Project settings to burn a DVD

Hi,
I'm a little confused about the project settings. I try to burn a DVD of 3 mpg-files. Here is a screenshot of the file info's, also one of the project settings:
According to the file information, I think the settings are correct, though the timeline shows an orange bar.
All files have the same informations.
When I go to finish the project to burn it on a DVD (output setting is PAL_Dolby DVD) it takes at least 14 hours, I don't think this is normal.
My system is a Macbook Pro, OS 10.9.1, 2.5 GHz, 16 GB RAM.
Any ideas what is wrong here?
Thank you in advance.

Great news with your troubleshooting. Great job.
Let us now look at what you wrote
The only thing that's left now is why I'm not able to save a project when I added one of my self created menue template
from the point of view of
a. how you created the menu template
and
b. where you placed it
Creation of the menus...
a. What did you put in the theme folder...just the main menu .psd file and scene menu.psd file or more? What were the exact names that you gave the main menu .psd file and scene menu .psd file? What program did you use to create your menus? We will get to the Layer Set structure in the Layers Palette of the .psd file(s) next if necessary.
b. I do not have a Mac computer so I cannot talk in terms of .psd file location in Mac. I will now talk in terms of Windows and hope that you can translate the following into the right Mac location for the theme files (assumed also .psd type).
Local Disk C
Program Files
Adobe
Adobe Premiere Elements 12
DVD Templates
Common
and, in the Common Folder, create a new folder named My Specials. In the My Specials Folder create a new folder named My XXX Theme. Inside the XXX Theme Folder goes the XXX .psd files and other theme assets.
In Windows, the menu theme (Slideshow/Pan and Zoom) that comes with the program is found in the above location. The menus that require Content download are in the Windows Program Data path that leads to the Online Folder. I do not want you to use that latter path counterpart in your Mac.
But let me ask this basic questions...
a. After you have placed the menu that you created in the computer, when you open Premiere Elements 12, do you see that menu in Movie Menu Display of menu choices
b. If so, can you click on its choice, hit Continue, and have the theme appear in the Movie Menu customization area of the opened project
c. If so, can you Preview the customized or uncustomized menu there and does it look good.
d. When all is done, how many main menu pages and how many scene selection pages do you have?
Let us start here, review the above, and then decide what next.
Thank you.
ATR
Add On...Additional focus may be computer resources, placement of Timeline markers, and spacing between Timeline markers, as well as fine details of Layer Sets in the Layers Palette of the .psd file, whatever else you may be placing in the Theme Folder of the menu that you made yourself.

Premiere Elements 12 Project settings

Does Premiere Elements 12 support 1080p video and 5.1 sound in the same project? From what I can see in the project settings I can have 1080p with stereo or 1080i with 5.1.

VRB817964
Unfortunately I have no access to a Mac computer and have never worked with one.
But, there are several basic ingredients to this
a. Premiere Elements' New Project Dialog's List of Available Project Presets
and
b. The .sqpreset file of an existing project preset
If the Adobe .sqpreset files are the same independent of computer operating systems Windows vs Mac and their location is the only difference, this approach should be applicable for the Mac user.
To put this thought to the test, can you find the following files on your Mac computer, named as
PAL AVCHD 1080p50.sqpreset file
or
NTSC AVCHD 1080p60.sqpreset file
Can you find the lines in each's Notepad document that needs to be edited according to the blog post with its Premiere Elements Windows base?
If so, then the hoped for outcome would be to edit them as per the blog post instructions and then put the edited ones into the location where the unedited ones are found.
To much to hope for, but worth a try. One of my goals for 2014 is to get a Mac computer.
We will be watching for further developments.
Thanks.

Premiere Elements 8 Project Settings

Using Premiere Elements 8 (trial edition), what are the correct project settings to work on mp4 files?
My clips won't preview (appear black with audio) and in the monitor panel the clips are washed out with color.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Howard
Please refer to attached screenshot.

From your details, you have a Flip Ultra HD camera.....
It would appear that your video is 1280 x 720 (16:9) with H.264 compression and (from your screenshot) a file extension of .MPEG4.
From the history on these flip cameras and editing of their videos in Premiere Elements (even versions earlier than 8), file conversion is probably going to be your answer.
Prism will do the job to convert your video (1280 x 720 16:9) to DV AVI, but the DV AVI will be 720 x 480 (4:3) since Prism does not do DV AVI 720 x 480 with the 16:9 flag for widescreen. But, try it anyway to see if it makes your video quality acceptable. You would save the DV AVI from Prism and bring it into Premiere Elements 8 Get Media/Files & Folders, using the Premiere Elements project preset (new project dialog) = NTSC DV Standard or Widescreen or the PAL counterpart, depending on your location. For Prism settings, see the Steve Grisetti FAQ.
The reason that conversion to DV AVI is promoted is because DV AVI is the native format of the Premiere Elements Timeline. But....
You could also try what I described to Corey in his thread (response #24)...this should convert your original into a .wmv instead of DV AVI. This .wmv would be 1280 x 720 16:9. You would bring the .wmv into Premiere Elements 8 Get Media/Files & Folders, using the Premiere Elements project preset (new project dialog) = NTSC HDV HDV 720p30 or its PAL counterpart, depending on your location. See Corey's thread, post #24, for all the details.
See how you do. We can fine tune any glitches along the way if necessary.
Any questions, just ask.

Premiere Elements 10 Project Settings

What is the most appropriate "Project Settings" for using PE 10 as there are no preset AVCHD setting to property match my camera settings?
In other words, there is no 1080p settings for 60i or PF30 in PE 10.
I can shoot video in:
Resolution = 1920x1080 or 1440x1080
Frame Rate = 60i or PF30
Codec = MPEG4-AVC/H.264
I will use Adobe Premiere Elemebnts 10 to upload the final edited video to youtube

If you shoot in 1920x1080 at 60i, you will be able to use the Full AVCHD 30 settings. (60i is the same thing as 30 interlaced frames per second.) Note that many multiformat camcorders also allow you the option of shooting in stereo or 5.1 audio to, so make sure you select the correct audio settings also.

Premiere Element 9 Project-settings...

Hello everyone,
I have some trouble with the project settings ( I hope its the right term, because my programm is in German).
I don't know which setting to use with my video files captured with fraps.
Video clip details:
1600*838
29 fps
.avi
bit rate: 480794 kBit/s
Audio: sample rate: 44Khz
Channels: 2 (stereo)
I didn't find any setting fitting to my video file, and when I choose one which fits partly I can't change the settings (for instance the frame size).
In addtion to that, my video files are blurred in the prewiew and also when the file is exported....
Thank you very much for your help

Well, with that odd Frame Size, about the best that you can do is to choose 1920 x 1080, Import your FRAPS footage into that Project, and then, either leave the black bars, or Scale up your Footage (Default Scale to Frame Size will do that, or you can use the Fixed Effect>Motion>Scale and possibly Motion>Position, if necessary). Scaling WILL reduce the quality, but you might be able to live with that. Only you can know.
Now, in PrPro, one CAN Customize the Frame Size to match odd footage, but that is an entirely different program, and not inexpensive.
Good luck,
Hunt

My Premiere Elements 11 will not longer burn regular DVDs, but will burn Bue Ray

I have reinstalled the program and still get the same erro messages when I try to burn a regular DVD. Any ideas on how to fix this? ( I have been burning regular DVDs for the last 4 months and have burned al leasr 15.

ATR,
I removed the stop marker and the DVD burned the way it should. I really appreciate the quick response. (I am still a bit confused why the stop marker did not cause a problem when I successfully burned a Blue Ray disc)
Thank you,

How do I get a Premiere Elements 11 project to Revel

In Premiere Elements 11, what format do I save a project to so I can get the video into Revel?

dwlmgold
Premiere Elements 11 does not have an export to Adobe Revel in its Publish+Share section as does Premiere Elements 12.
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/10/pe12-adobe-revel-add-mediapublishshare.html
So for Premiere Elements 11, I would be guided by the April 23, 2014 FAQ in the Adobe Revel Forum.
FAQ: Which file formats does Revel support?
You could try saving the Timeline to file via
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with one of the .mp4 presets
Then you would upload the file to your account at Adobe Revel.
For further information about export to file your Premiere Elements 11 Timeline, I would need more information on your Premiere Elements 11 project settings and the properties of your source media. Video uploads to Adobe Revel can be problematic, so you might want to post your Adobe Revel uploading type issues in the Adobe Revel Forum. We, here in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum, can help you with your Premiere Elements 11 export to file settings for that project.
Revel
We look forward to further details to assist you in your project.
Thanks.

My Premiere Elements 12 tells me I need Premiere Elements to put a slideshow on to dvd.

I recently acquired Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12. I made a slideshow in Organizer, and followed the Manual's instructions on how to proceed to get the slideshow to a dvd. I get a drop-down from Premiere telling me I need Premiere Elements to do the task, and do I want get it from a dvd or try a trial version. If I wasn't so frustrated and mad I'd think this was funny. Can anyone explain what's wrong?
Thank you,
Norm.

My thanks to Peru Bob for transferring the matter, an hello to you A.T. Romano.
I'll respond to your first memo.
You understand correctly that I'm can't fully use Elements 12 or Premiere Elements 12, even after help from Adobe. Several people at Adobe worked on the problem(s), the last being a Supervisor, and it appeared I was finally "up and running". Then, I came upon the current problem. Two case numbers were involved: 0185568696 and 185597498. In answer to your question 1, I was sent an email from "[email protected]" providing two product serial numbers and instructions on how to download the products. I couldn't get the downloads to run to completion, thus I called Adobe. Second question:both Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 are listed in my Control Panel's Programs and Features list. Question 3: I did the slideshow in Elements 12 Organizer, then went to Premiere 12 Edit and clicked Add Media; the slideshow images all appear and I selected them, then selected Project Assets, and the slideshow appears on the timeline. I'm not doing any editing, so select Publish + Share, and choose DVD. A pop-up displays and I complete the entries, most being left as is. When I select to burn is when I've been getting the drop down with the message stated in my first Forum access. Today, however, when going through the steps so I could answer your questions, when I select Pub&Share and get the pop-up, a warning on it says No burner.
I went through the procedure again and got a message Disk not present. Again and again one or the other of these messages with my successive attempts.
Then it started burning! When done I played the dvd back. The images were there but not the titles/comments. The user manual on page 61 says: create a slideshowin Photoshop Elements 6.0 or later... with captions ...and titles...Import the slideshow into Premiere Elements to edit further or burn a dvd..
It must be tiring for you to have to read all this, and I'm sorry for that. Will try to follow your outline of steps I can take to check on the status of Premiere on my system, and get back to you. I'm a neophyte at all this, so It will take me some time
Thank you for your patience,
Norm.

Premiere Element Freezes When Tried to Burn DVD

My computer meets and exceeds the requirements for Premiere Element 4. It also has about 50 GB of free disk space. I put together a file (about 30 minutes) consisting of stills and video clips, sound tracks, effects, and transition. When I tried to burn a DVD the first time, the program froze at the first instance of "burn" after completion of encoding and compiling. I removed Premiere Element and then reloaded it. I was able to burn a DVD. When I tried to burn again after making a minor change (to some text on still images), I then experienced the same problem even though with the same remove/reload routine.
From your website, I tried to sort out if the problem was due to my project or my computer system. I could create a DVD folder of a simple file but not a folder for my project. So it seemed that my project file was the problem. I then took the suggested approach, i.e. to make DVD folders of segments of my project and they all worked.
Finally, I was able to export my project to my hard disk as an AVI file and then load the file as a new project. Then burning a DVD was uneventful. The burned DVD showed that the file was about 1.6 GB in length.
Would appreciate your suggestions on how to identify the glitch that prevented me from burning a DVD in the straightforward manner. I might add that I had burned DVDs of projects of almost identical composition and length and had experienced no such problem.

From your description, it sounds like either the photos were larger than 1000x750 pixels in size and/or that you needed to clear your Media Cache (in Premiere Elements Edit/Preferences).

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.

SG
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??
ATR
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?????

Premiere Elements 8 Project Won't Open. Please Help.

Hello,
I was working on a Premiere Elements 8 project for my video class last night (HDV, 1080i 30p) and the program stopped responding as I was importing a clip. I was prompted to wait for response or close the program. I closed the program and when I tried to re-open my project, the loading dialog box reaches 100% and then does nothing. I let it sit for over 30 minutes and nothing changed. When I clicked cancel after 30 minutes, I was prompted with the same "program is not responding" box. Other projects open fine, but this one simply will not. After reading through the forums, I disabled McAfee and updated Quicktime, but I am still having the same problem. I have 6 GB of free RAM and I am using footage shot on my DSLR. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated as the project is due this week.
Thanks,
Jake

OK, there is possibly a problem with one (or more) Assets.
This next step might be easy, or not, depending on how you have your Assets arranged on your computer.
The easiest is if one has the Assets, or Copies of them, in sub-folders below the Project's hierarchy. See this article for an example: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4028199#4028199
I would Move the Assets from their location, so that PrE cannot initially find them, and attempt to load their links. Then, launch PrE, and Open that Project (since the AutoSaves do not work better, just go with the original Project here). You should get the dialog, "Where is file ____ ?" See this article for more details and tips: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4598705#4598705.
If one has many types of Assets, such as Still Images, AVI's, MOV's, etc., it would be easier if one Moved each Asset type to a new, and separate sub-folder, for this next step.
At "Where is file ____ ?" navigate to where you Moved that requested file. See if it loads. Per the above article, you will see that PrE will then survey that folder, the one that you just navigated to, and try to load each missing Asset IN that folder, and re-link to them. If all goes well, then you should get that same dialog messege for the next Asset type. Repeat. Do this until you get the hang on an Asset. At that point, DO NOT Save the Project. Instead, Save_As and increment the name. That is IMPORTANT.
Then, Move that faulting Asset elsewhere, and test Opening the Save_As Project. If all works fine, then you know that there is a problem with THAT Asset. You should study it carefully, to see what the problem is. If it plays fine elsewhere, and is not different, than other good Assets, then try Importing it again, into that Save_As Project.
Good luck,
Hunt

Will Premiere Elements 10 projects work in Premiere Elements 11?

I'm asking because i have just made 3 video projects of my baby's first 3 years in Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 7. I want to buy a new Windows 8 PC soon. Can i just buy the new Premiere Elements 11 and install that on my new Windows 8 PC and use it to open my projects, or would there be compatibility problems and therfore should i just try and install my normal Premiere Elements 10 on the new Windows 8 PC?
Thanks for your help.

Hi erocks
I'm Paul and i started this thread.
I thought this information would be helpful for you.
I have bought a brand new Windows 8 PC. It's 64 bit. My previous computer was Windows 7 x32 bit. I have successfully installed Premiere Elements 10 on my new Windows 8 computer (but needed to install the 64 bit version of the program (same serial works)).
All my Premiere Elements 10 projects that were made on the Windows 7 pc open up just fine on the new Windows 8 pc, with no issues what so ever.
I would advise you to install Quicktime too as Premiere Elements needs that to be installed too. Also, i would strongly advise you to install a codec pack too, for the video codecs, or your new computer (& therefore Premiere Elements) could well have problems reading, opening and using certain video file types. If your Windows 8 pc is 64 bit then make sure you install 64 bit video codecs as well as the 32 bit versions. This is because Premiere Elements on a 64 bit system will need to use 64 bit video codecs.
Here's a link for some codec packs. Make sure you install the 32 bit version, and if you are using a 64 bit system then install the 64 bit video codec pack as well (find it at the bottom of the codec web page).
http://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm_
P.s if you installed the extra Premiere Elements content on your old installation then don’t forget to install that too on your new pc. You can download that by logging onto your online adobe account, finding your order, and downloading from there.
Please let me know if that helped, as im quite interested to know the outcome.

Let me know what other info you need.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, the lowest possible Burn speed will be a step in the direction of compatibility.
As for the Quality setting, Robert Johnson has done tests on various versions of PE and has recommend a setting of about 7.8 (IIRC). Unlike Encore, where one has many more choices, PE limits one to a Quality setting of 8. This is about equivilent to the recommend 7MB/s in Encore. Robert found that just below the 8 max. actually yielded slightly better results, than did the full 8, on his tests.
The three things that help to insure the greatest compatibility with set-top players are, and in pretty much this order:
1.) Quality media - Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden or Falcon (US only)
2.) Burn speed (slower is better. It might take a few minutes more, but if it works, you don't have returns or have to do it again.)
3.) Bit-rate around 7MB/sec
Remember - no set-top player HAS to play any Burned DVD. Most do, but some just do not - only replicated, pressed discs. Also, some player are still sensitive to the -R and +R media types. This is less a problem with newer units, however it still could be an issue with many older ones.
Personally, I test a "master" on four different players, plus my computer, before I Burn a batch, or ship out any. One unit is a very high-end Marantz, another is a mid-level Marantz, one is an RCA "el cheapo" and the other is an older Pioneer. I figure if the disc plays everywhere, there is a good chance that it will play for the client - though there are still no guarantees.
Good luck,
Hunt
