Premiere elements 12 Video Capture

I'm capturing video from a MiniDV camcorder. The entire 60min video is captured as one file and the file properties are date stamped the day I perform the capture.
Will Elements 12 capture as multiple files creating a new file with scene changes and date/time stamp the files the day they were filmed? Windows Movie Maker does this.
The reason is I want to be able to cut portions of the video out and create separate movies for each event. Having the file properties allows me to easily identify the date it was filmed.
Thanks
Mark

Thanks for the reply. This helps.
I have already captured some tapes before PrE with Windows photo gallary. I have the raw files and I'm able to import them into PrE for editing.
Question is - is there any advantage to re-capturing them with PrE? and for the rest of the tapes I have, is there any downside to capturing outside PrE with Windows photo gallary and importing in PrE for editing? I do prefer that the files are date stamped the create date.

PREMIERE ELEMENTS VIDEO CAPTURE ERROR

I get this error when I am trying to capture video from my dv camera.
Premiere Elements has encountered an error.
[..\..\Src\TImecode.cpp-1014]
It seems to know I have a camera plugged in, but has a yellow yield sign with an exclamation point on the camera when the capture window comes up.

It has been a several days since we visited this thread. Got detoured and then lost track of the thread in the fast moving thread traffic here.
From all that has been written in this thread and in spite the different numbers of computers involved, I am wondering if computer optimization may be the order of the day rather than focusing on making the DV data capture firewire work in Premiere Elements 12 on one of your computers, specifically Windows 7 64 bit.
Have you focused on one of your computers and optimized - maybe a free ccleaner run through, clearing away pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, conformed video files? Checking out where the Scratch Disks are directed and how much free space was there. (The save location for Captured Video and Captured Audio is included in the Scratch Disks listings (See Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks.)
Not sure if I asked already, so I will ask anyway...can you do your DV data capture firewire in Movie Maker 2012 (same firewire cable)?
Did you ever get your Mom's computer to recognize your miniDV camcorder?
You have been working with Premiere Elements 12. Have you been working with the 12.1 Update (See opened project's Help Menu/Update.)
Moving to Premiere Elements 13 is not going to help on this one since DV and HDV data capture firewire have been removed from Premiere Elements 13. A workaround is offered, but....

For troubleshooting purposes only, you could download and install the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 11 from the following web site and determine how your DV data capture firewire works in that

You cannot buy that download, but you can try it.

Premiere Elements Video Import Issue

I am having issues importing a .mp4 video file.
Working on Windows 7 64 bit laptop.
File is 6GB on lexar usb removable device plugged into usb 2.0.
Add media from device, get no valid data
Add from folder, navigate and select folder, tells me to import to Organizer, but organizer won't detect file.
Assistance please and thanks.

Unfortunately the Dazzle is one of those low-end capture units that are pretty much made to work with the video editor that comes with them. Even converting the video won't make it more compatible with Premiere Elements.
As I explain in my books as well as in the FAQs to the right of this forum, the best devices for capturing video for editing your PC are called DV bridges. The best value is the ADS Pyro AV Link, available for about $100 online.

Premiere Elements (video format?) compatible with InDesign media pdf.

I have a 2 min. clip completed in Premiere Elements_10. I would like to place this clip into my InDesign_cs5 media compatible pdf. What do I need to save this video as so that I can place into the pdf. The MPEG2 1440X1080i 25 is not compatible.
End result, email the pdf and employees can click on the video. I prefer to place the video and not have it as a web link.

Thank you very much for any help.

I was able to upload quick time movies (.mov) into the pdf – the movies were professionally made.
When I share and save the file in different formats like mpeg, windows media and quick time, they save as Adobe Premiere Elements Project (.prel) files; making them unable to import.
There has to be something little that I am doing wrong, but I cannot figure it out!

Help! My Adobe Premiere Elements Video is Horizontal, Can you help?

I took a video of a native dancer, Unfortunately, when played the native dancer is horizontal. is there a fix to rotate the video just as one can rotate a photo?

ceasefortea
In Premiere Elements 10 Windows
a. highlight your video on the Timeline of the Timeline view
b. click on Properties icon above Timeline to open Properties Palette. (Could also open Properties Palette via Window Menu/Properties)
c. In Properties Palette/Motion Panel Expanded, use the Rotation feature there to rotate your video.
Please let us know the outcome. We will fine tune the details as necessary, but I think that the above should do the job.

Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 restricts that user from importing a still image with greater than 1677216 total pixels.
I have explained the situation in full detail (post 6) in an older thread which dealt with the same issue in Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/624979
In latest versions of Premiere Elements, that block is removed. But, that does not mean because you can exceed 1677216 total pixels that you should. The classical not to exceed pixel dimensions recommendations that you see online include
for SD project, 1000 x 750 pixels
for HD project, 2200 x 1238 pixels
In later version of Premiere Elements and greater computer resources, these classical recommendations can be stretched to a certain degree.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

I have a probelm with Premiere Elements video freeze...

Hi Everyone,
I have this annoying problem, whenever I edit a video with most simple things such as adding a simple transition or even without it...
just cutting the scenes...
when ever I try to run the entire clip I get this annoying freeze that happens during the entire clip...
by freeze I mean that the sound plays while the video freezes for some seconds each scene and so on...
I would appriciate the help on maybe a way to optimize Premiere Elements or the GTX 580...
I'm desperately using both the default settings @ Premiere Elements & @ the GTX 580 card...
this is the system that I run Adobe Premiere Elements on:
Intel I7 CPU 930 @ 2.83GHz.
Win XP SP3 (Don't think I have updated the system, kinda affraid doing so, so I wont get the system F%#$ed up)
6GB of RAM (though XP uses only 3.5GB out of it blah blah...)
GeForce GTX580 (which was recently installed) (Latests Driver) (though couldn't install the HD audio driver, don't really know why do I need it..)
I have both the motherboard sound card & My pro sound card for music editing (which is outside the PC)
I tried working both with the motherboard sound card & My own, had no change with the freeze problem...
I don't run any unnecessary software on that PC, its strickly for Music + Video...
I would really appreciate any help I could get here...
if there is any other info that is required please let me know...
Thanks in advance,

How many disk drives? What sizes? and how much DEFRAGMENTED space? What brand/model is the PC? You need to provide more information on your clips - their formats, what were they created on and how you got them into PRE.
You really should install those Windows Updates.
Here's a checklist of basics you should follow through with:
Install all Windows Updates.
Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.9 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
Install PRE9 v9.0.1 update.
Delete BadDrivers.txt (in Windows 7 this is likely at C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Premiere Elements\9.0\BadDrivers.txt)
Run Disk Cleanup.
Run Defragmenter.
Reboot your PC.
Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
And give us some information about your clips and hardware:
Use the GSpot Codec Information Utility to analyse the file and post screen image.
What project preset did you use?
Where did the clip come from?
How did you get it into PRE?
Post back here with the necessary information described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started

Premiere Elements 13 & Canon HV30 - Video Import/Capture

I CAN connect my Canon DV30 to MS Movie Maker via firewire with no problems at all.
I've just bought Premiere Elements 13 but I CANNOT get it to recognise the camera, and cannot import any video :-(
Does anybody have any experience of using Premiere Elements and a Canon HV30?
I need help PLEASE!
Thx

Just found out DV capture has been removed from v13!
The workaround, as per the link (Adobe Premiere Elements 11 * Capture video), would then not play any sound - which I believe is another problem of v13 (No sound on playback with Premiere 13)
That's it for me. The software is going back to Amazon.
Premiere Elements 13 is not going to work for my DV capture!!!!!

I need a Video Card for Adobe Premiere Elements, what is recommended?

I wish to buy the Adobe Premiere Elements Video Editing. I shoot on a Cannon GL1 & GL3 mini dvd and need a video card to capture my video footage. What Video Card is recommended for use with the Premieire Elements software? and what is the price? Please advise...

Is the purchased Premiere Elements 12 still in its sealed packaging?
If you have not already, I would suggest that you install Premiere Elements 12 from the purchased installation disc
and evaluate its performance in your computer environment.
a. Does the program fail to install?
b. Do you get Display Card errors?
If you are worried about not being able to return 12 once the package is opened, then you can try the following
a. Download the Premiere Elements 12 tryout files from the following web site and evaluate it as a tryout (full
featured).
http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-12-direct-download-links-premiere.html
Read and carry out carefully the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the web page to avoid Access Denied message.
b. If the tryout performs well for you, then delete the tryout and install your purchased version with the purchased
serial number included on the packaging.
....other possibilities, but just the above for now.

Premiere Elements and SDI Capture?

Hi - I'm a Premiere Pro user but a customer is setting up a retail video capture situation that will be operated by non-video folks. The customer wants to use a Canon XA-25 to stream video via SDI capture to a computer. Will Premiere Elements do that?

Rich Hall Reps
As far as I can tell Canon XA-25 is not a mini DV or HDV camcorder with an iLink for DV or HDV data capture firewire into a Premiere Elements capture window. In that regard, Adobe has removed that feature from its latest version 13/13.1. Premiere Elements 12/12.1 is the last version to have this feature which has a classical history of working only with a firewire connection. In Premiere Elements 13/13.1, Add Media will not include DV Camcorder or HDV Camcorder. The surviver is Webcam or WDM with description "Capture video from webcam or other WDM compatible device".
But, my interpretation of what you are seeking is not DV or HDV capture firewire, but rather live streaming of uncompressed video from the Canon XA-25 using the Canon SDI Output
HD-SDI - Canon UK
Canon XA25: Our New Favorite Camera - Association Studios
The following Adobe document was pointed to 3 months ago by a staff member responding to a user question on Live Video Streaming using Premiere Elements.
Premiere Elements: How do capture live / streaming video?
The link pointed to does not appear to be updated for 13/13.1 which was released September 24, 2014.
Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Capture video from camcorders and webcams
Based on the above, I am not sure if the Canon output can be made to work with the Add Media/Webcam or WDM choice with the Canon being recognized in the Capturing Source field of the Webcam or WDM Capture Window. Do you have any version of Premiere Elements to explore this possibility?

Best export settings for SVHS video from Premiere Elements 12

Hi
when I view my SVHS video on screen via premiere elements 12 the quality looks very good. However, when I edit the video and save, the quality is quite poor.
I need to know what is the best settings to save my video. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thank you Tom

I have some questions to ask and some suggestions to make for your consideration after you have concluded your discussions with SG.
1. Am I assuming correctly that you used a firewire connection for your ADVC-55 capture? And, if so, what did you capture into - Premiere Elements 12 Capture Windows to give you DV AVI Type 2? In the gspot readout (to the left of the dialog), what does it say about the Container.
2. Assuming that you have DV AVI Type 2 (4:3) files saved to your computer hard drive, have you tried
For DVD-VIDEO PAL Standard Format on DVD disc
a. Open Premiere Elements 12 new project to Expert workspace, File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings....Change project preset to PAL DV Standard....before leaving that area, making sure you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project".
b. Then back in the Premiere Elements 12 workspace, Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag you DV AVI to the Timeline.
c. After edits and maybe menu application,
Publish+Share/Disc/DVD burn to disc
check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space"
Preset = PAL Dolby DVD
Before hitting Burn in the burn dialog, note what the readings are in the burn dialog for Space Required and Bitrate. If the Bitrate is 8.00 Mbps at that point, that is good. More on that later.
For Export To File (AVCHD.mp4)
If you want to export, your Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive, please consider
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
MP4 - PAL DV Standard
If your details are other than that which I assumed, please let us know.
We will be watching for further discussions and results.
Thank you.

Slow motion / fast motion in Premiere Elements 13

I read that in Premiere Elements 13 fast motion (and I think also slow motion) ist removed. Is that correct. And if yes: Is there any workaround available?

rr
Thanks for the reply.
Great information. If you have been using Ctrl+R, that is the keyboard shortcut that brings up the Time Stretch dialog.
Time Stretch (use of the Ctrl+R) has not been removed from Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace.
Like Premiere Elements 11, Time Stretch is found in the Expert workspace and not in the Quick workspace.
When you use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+R, I get Time Stretch dialog from where I can create the slow or fast motion effect in the selected clip.
The following relates to Premiere Elements Timelapse Capture (Stop Motion) which has been removed from
Premiere Elements 13 as a specific feature that you see in Premiere Elements 11 and 12.

Please let me know if you are OK with the above information.

Premiere Elements 12 - Add media webcam "no device control"

Hi, I have Adobe Premiere Elements 12 and I am trying to record live using Logitech C920 Webcam. Whenever I try to "add media", even though it recognizes both image and audio devices in the webcam, it shows "no device control" and the screen is black. How can I solve this situation? Thank you.

Just some thoughts....
Premiere Elements 12 assumed on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
Add Media
Webcam or WDM
In the Premiere Elements 12 Capture Window, there are 2 tiny arrows pointing right at the top right of the Capture Window. You can access
Capture Settings and Device Control there.
Click on Capture Settings to bring up the Project Settings dialog. Click on Capture in the left column in the Project Settings dialog..
In the Project Settings dialog, you should see "Capture Format: WDM Capture" and to the right of that a Settings tab.
Click on that Settings tab to bring up the WDM Capture Preview Settings dialog.
In the WDM Capture Preview Settings dialog, assure that you have check mark for
During Preview
Preview Video on Desktop
Preview Audio on Desktop
During Capture

Also, if you go to the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/Device Control, what choices do you have

Cant' import MPEG2 in Premiere elements 12 since today !!

my Sony DV Cam creates MPEG2 videos and i was able to use them in Premiere elements 12 but today it tells me I don't have the codec to read them !?
Any ideas ?
Os : Windows 8.1
Thks

hay1700
What is giving you the message about the missing codec....Premiere Elements 12 when you use Add Media OR
Windows 8.1 when you go to use one of its players?
What are these MPEG2 files, MPEG2.mpg from HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 Capture Window are something else?
Please excuse the question, but I do not want to take anything for granted...
a. Are you importing MPEG2.mpg files into Premiere Elements 12 via its Add Media/Files and Folders or are you doing HDV data capture
firewire into the Premiere Elements 12 Capture Window
b. What are you or the project setting as the project preset for this project? If you do not know, please see Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields are grayed out.
c. Is your MPEG2.mpg in a project and are you trying to import the project file (project.prel) into another project file (project.prel)? Or are you trying to import a MPEG2.mpg file into a project.
d. What happens to your issue if you start a new project?
Please review the above. We will watch for your result and, based on that, we can decide what next.

How do you change project settings on Premiere Elements 12?

I have Premiere Elements 12. When I view a DVD I created of wedding photos, the edges of people and objects are jagged and generally the photos appear blurry. On my old Premiere Elements 8, I did not have this problem - the pictures on DVDs were clear and sharp. When checking the project setting on Premiere 8, the project settings for Capture was DV which changed all my settings for General and Rendering project settings. On my new Premiere 12, the Capture setting is HDV and I cannot get the General and Rendering settings to change when I change the Capture setting to DV. The online help from Adobe says to correct this, "In the New Project dialog box, click Change Settings," but when I start a new project in Premiere 12, "Adobe Premiere Element Editor" is the only dialogue box that shows and I cannot see a change setting button. Does anyone know how I can change my project settings so that when I select DV it will change all the presets for the General and Video Rendering settings?

jacquelinebaker
The party line is that you cannot change project settings once the project settings have been set. You need to start a new project.
Edit Menu/Project Settings/General does not offer the opportunity for any significant project settings change in this type of situation.
I have discovered that, under certain circumstances, that the user can change the established project preset without starting a new project.
The approach to doing this involves editing the Notepad document of the saved closed project file (project.prel file). I have written about this in the following blog post.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-changing-project-settings-without.html
You need to weigh the pros and cons of going through the procedure or just starting a new project and start the project again.
All of the above being said, on to setting to the correct project preset to match the properties of your source media. Please refer to the issues involved and how to set manually the project preset when the program is not doing the job correctly or best automatically.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
To the specifics...if you are doing DV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 Capture Window, the scenario would be...
a. Open Premiere Elements 12 to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings. In Change Settings,
change the project preset to NTSC DV Standard or NTSC DV Widescreen depending on NTSC or PAL set up and 4:3 or 16:9 DV data source. Then before you exit that area, make sure to place a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" in
the new project dialog. Exit that area and return to the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace for your Add Media/DV Capture selection.
If you are doing HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 Capture Window, then same scenario except the project preset change involves NTSC HDV HDV 1080i30 (if NTSC). In this instance, the Edit Menu/Project Settings/General should look like

Clips in Premiere Elements 11

I have asked this question earlier but not sure if I had entered it into 'discussions' correctly. Question is, when I transfer video from my Canon HV20 camera into Premiere Elements I end up with one continious 'clip' rather than the actual series of clips that I created when I originally shot the video. I am trying to find out how to end up with all of the individual clips so I can do my editing in the Premiere program. Thanks.

Are you using Premiere Elements to capture your video over a FireWire connection?
Have you ensured that the time and date are correctly set in your camcorder?
When you capture in Premiere Elements, have you ensured that the option to Break by Timecode is selected in the capture workspace?
