Premiere Elements 13 - No sound effects

I have no sound effects in the sound-tab. The "effects" is greyed out.
However, I do have some soundtracks. All I think.
Anyone knows why and how to get the effects?

What computer operating system is involved?
How long ago did you install Premiere Elements 13? And, did you do it with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
If you are within 12 hours of install, then give the Sound Effects more time to appear within the opened project.
There have several reports of a significant delay between the finish of program install and the appearance of the Sound
Effects under the Audio Tab of the workspaces.
What is grayed out? You are not talking about fx Effects. Right? Do you see the Sound Effects Tab pointed to in the
screenshot, but it is grayed out? How would you describe the speed of your Internet connection?
Please review and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.

    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated 12 to 12.1 yet? If not, please do so by using an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
    Not enough information in order to help you.
    Looking for
    1. Properties of source media (including file extension and brand/model/settings of camera that recorded the video).
    2. Is problem restricted to one particular file in one particular project? What happens if you start a new project? What is the
    duration and size of the project when performance is slow and freezing sets in? What are you doing in the program when this happens?
    3. Using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    4. Does problem exist if antivirus and firewall(s) are disabled?
    5. Please describe computer environment, including dating on video card/graphics card driver version. Did you install the program to the
    default Local Disk C? Where are the Scratch Disks directed and how much free space there?
    Lots more questions, but let us start here and then decide what next based on your reply.

  • When importing a clip to adobe premiere elements 11 the sound on the video doesnt appear in the audio

    audio help

    if7yg
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running on? If Mac, was your purchase the Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Editor from the Mac App Store?
    Be that as it may, what are the properties of the video audio file that you are importing in Premiere Elements 11?
    A quick way might be for you to tell us the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video audio file (including the file extension of the file).
    When the file reaches the Expert workspace Timeline which is the case
    a. no sound, but audio file is represented on Audio 1
    b. no sound, audio file not represented on Audio 1
    c. no sound, audio file represented on Audio 1 and, when you toggle the Audio Display Style to waveform, you
    see or do not see a waveform.
    (to the left of the word Audio 1 is a speaker icon...clicking on that icon toggles the audio track display...one of the
    two choices is the waveform).
    Assuming Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit for now, go to Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/12 and delete the complete contents of the Media Cache Files Folder that you find there. Then open the program and determine if the audio problem persists. Look to the bottom right of the workspace to observe any "conforming" activity in progress when you import the file.
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thank you.

  • Premiere Elements 9 no sound

    I used to be able to use Adobe Premiere Elements 9 on this computer to edit my videos in WMV format. Now when I try to render me project edits into a WMV output file, the output file has no sound. Experimenting with another product, I discovered that product would not play back a MPG file because it could not handle HD Dolby sound. The video played back fine, but there was no sound. It has been 3 years since I used elements v9. So it occurred that there may have been an advancement in HD Dolby the elements 9 originally was not designed with that capability in mind. Actually, when I try to play beck the rendered WMV file, there is sound but it is terrible noise. What is the cure for this because I have been looking for a long time without good results.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.
    Ted Palmer

    A.T.Romanl,
    Thank you for you response.
    Every attempt I made to apply updates to my Adobe Premiere Elements 9.0 Ninja yielded the same result. I kept getting the attached error message.
    My operating system for this computer is Windows-7.
    >> What are the properties of these source wmv files and what project preset are you setting to match those video properties?
    If I right click the WMV file name (there is only one), the property window that opens has 4 tabs on it. The "Details" tab has a ton of attribute value pairs on it. It seems like it would take the rest of my life to make screen shots of it all. Are there some specific ones that would be most helpful?
    >> If your export is Share/Computer/Windows Media, what is your export preset and what are the Export Settings for the Video Tab and Audio Tab under the Advanced Button of the preset?
    A screenshot of my AdvancedPresetsExportSettings is attached below:
    I hope this response will help move this solution along, and much thanks for your help.

  • Premiere Elements 9 Lose Motion Effects after Share

    Hi all,
    I seem to be having a serious issue after sharing/exporting my video:
    I have recently finished a 20-minute informational video for work that involves lots of screen capture of my desktop. The screen capture was done with VLC media player. Once I imported the screen capture (.mp4) videos in adobe premiere, I used the motion effect to only display the part of the screen that I want to by changing the scale and position fields for the entire duration of these screen capture videos. Watching the video in premiere after rendering shows everything is fine. But once I export the video, all these motion effects are clearly not present: the screen capture parts of my video are not scaled at all and instead show the entire desktop.
    What is the issue here?
    Have I misunderstood what the motion effect is meant to be used for? I am really looking for something to trim/zoom into parts of a video and it sounded like the motion effect was the solution, but I am not entirely sure.
    Thank you very much to anyone who assists!
    Skyler

    Please excuse the question, but am asking just in case.
    When you say that you are using Motion Effects (Scale and Position) for your .mp4 video on the Timeline, does that mean that you are keyframing the Scale and Position properties in the Properties Palette/Motion Panel/Scale and Position properties (using the Toggle Animation button there to initiate the keyframing)?
    Please include in your response to SG.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Elements 10 no sound for MP4 or MOV files

    How can I get the premiere elements 10 to recognize sound in MOV and MP4 files?  Shows no sound track and yet there is one.

    1cooper1
    Your question is being answer in your other thread as I remember. Some has asked for further information so that they can help you.
    The usual information that is require to troubleshoot you issue includes:
    a. Do you have QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 10? Have you said what computer operating system is involved?
    b. Are you running Premiere Elements 10 as Run As Administrator and/or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    c. Where are these .mov and .mp4 files coming from? The brand/model and your camera settings would be very helpful, especially if you cannot supply the properties of these files. That .mov or .mp4 are file extension that wrap the video and audio compression, so we need to know the video and audio compression as well as the frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio. You can get all that from a MediaInfo properties read out
    http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
    d. What are you setting as the project preset for your project?
    e. Is there no sound just for these two video types .mov and .mp4 or is there no sound within Premiere Elements for anything?
    f. Have you gone into the Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and click on the ASIO button to check out the ASIO setting to make sure of what is enabled?
    Please review the above. We will be watching for your details.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Elements 4 - No Sound in Editing Mode

    There is probably a simple answer to this. I've just begun playing with this software althought it is clear that I bought it a long time ago in a bundle with Photoshop Elements 6.0. I have no driving desire to create videos, but would like to be able to use the program to edit existing video files. I've some experience with audio editing using Audacity. I find it relatively intuitive and see some similarities between it and PE4.
    I opened the program, started a new project, used Files and Folders to import a mpg file that plays fine. I dragged the file from the right pane into the one on the left and I can see video and audio tracks. I begin playing the file. I can see the video change images, but I hear no audio. I don't see a 'volume' or audio on/off switch and am at a loss how to search for such in the Help file.
    I had one straightforward editing task that I could do based on images alone. I clipped the track at two points and deleted the selected portion and closed up the track. I think it is still seen as two clips, but I managed to export it as an avi file and that plays, with sound.
    Now I want to edit out 40 seconds from the 30 minute mpg and export that as an avi file. My edit requires that I be able to hear the audio. How do I get access to it while editing?
    thanks,
    baumgrenze

    You are most welcome.
    As that article states, there are a lot of places, where Audio must be set, from the system to the editing program, and then, depending on the Audio device (sound card, or chip), there might be additional places in the control console software for that device, where setting need to be made. Luckily, once the proper settings have been made, one should not have to make any changes, unless the swap out the sound device.
    Also, all sound devices will require a software driver to function fully, and especially in a program, like PrE. It is a good idea to periododically update that audio driver, just like one does with the video driver. If, after all settings have been correctly applied, and the sound fails, that would be the first action - update the audio driver.
    Good luck, and looks like you can mark your question as Answered. Happy editing.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 10: AVI Sound Only

    Please help me! I recently purchased APE 10 and while tring to open a AVI Movie it doesnt show the video i recorded but just the sound. I have a DXG 5B1V and it's brand new from 2012. It records full HD too. Someone please help me on how to fix this. I tried converting but the quality is terrible. PLEASE HELP!

    Welcome to the forum.
    AVI is but a wrapper, and much can be contained within it. What is the Video CODEC inside that AVI?
    Some Video CODEC's, such as DivX, or Xvid, just will never edit well, and must be converted.
    This ARTICLE goes into more detail, and also tells you how to "peek inside the wrapper."

  • Premiere Elements 9 : no sound with .mts files

    I'm having a bit of a problem getting my mts/avchd files to work with PE9. I imported the files using the organiser, and they play fine (video AND audio) from the organiser, but when I import the clips into PE9, only video is imported. There's no audio track and (logically?) no audio to be heard. How do I fix this?
    Mind, these .mts files play fine in both the organiser AND windows 7. They're created on a Canon HF100 camcorder.

    I do not know if there is a "Getting Started" tour of PrE offered now, but there should be, and in big, bold print, there should be a first message, that explains the necessity of matching the Project Preset exactly to the source footage. Next, the tour should go into how to determine the attributes of the source footage to a Project Preset. If there is not such a "tour," I feel strongly that there should be.
    I believe that PrE 9 has added a feature that helps one match source footage to a Project Preset. In PrPro CS5, one would just drag one of the source videos to the New Icon, at the bottom of the Project Panel, after Import. This then creates a new Sequence (think mini-Project within a "master Project"), with the exact specs. required.
    Many new users are unaware of the above necessity, and then are confounded by a whole list of Presets, that often do not make a lot of sense - yet. Probably a good 20% of all program problems trace back to a mis-match between the Project Preset and the source footage.
    As for mixed format/CODEC footage, the best way to handle that is to either convert secondary set of footage to match the primary footage, for which the Project Preset has been established, or to do separate Projects, each matching their source footage 100%, and then doing an Export/Share to a format/CODEC, that matches the primary footage. Then, one can easily combine all of the footage into a single, new Project, or Import the Exported footage into the Project with the primary footage for final editing.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere Elements Sounds effects question

    Hi!  On the website 'features' page, it says the Premiere Elements comes with 250+ sound effects.  Is 'reverb' one of those effects?  And do I have to buy an 'enhanced' version of Premiere Elements to access those effects?  Thanks for reading!

    markg77482
    What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system is it running?
    For now I will assume Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.....
    1. You need to make the distinction between "audio effects" and "sound effects" in Premiere Elements 12.
    The "audio effects" are found in the Expert workspace under fx Effects. The Reverb effect is found there. But
    it is a Windows Only effect. One Mac user has reported the use of the New Blue Audio Polish effect and its Ambience
    option for the workaround in Premiere Elements 12 Mac.
    Sound Effects are found found under the Audio Tab of the Expert workspace and contain several categories.
    Audio Tab/Sound Effects is where you are going to find "250+ Sound Effects".
    Excerpt from my blog post on Premiere Elements 12 First Look
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: Premiere Elements 12 First Look Details
    Sound Effects has 13 subcategories and a total of 267 or 268 free sound effects. The Sound Effects subcategories and the number of sound effects in them are Ambience (49), Animals (10), Cartoon Effects (20), Crashes (10), Fire and Explostions (18), Foley (30), Impacts (20), Industry (10), Liquids (10), Science Fiction (30), Technology (29 or 30), Transportation (11), and Weather (20).
    Please review and consider and supply more information so that we are giving version/computer specific information.

  • Chroma key effect in Premiere Elements

    If I buy Adobe Premiere Elements, am I able to use chroma key effect and receive a clean video free from green colour from the background, even around the hair? My experience is that it is not possible with cheaper programs.

    peterwallgren
    What computer operating system would you be running Premiere Elements on? If Mac, be advised that Mac does not have Chroma Key, Green Screen Key, or Blue Screen Key.
    A lot of variables in the green screen videography and photography. Best download and install Premiere Elements 13 and determine if it works for you in green screen workflow.
    Generalizing, I think it does a good job. But a generalization is not good enough when you get down to a specific setup with specific details.

  • Why won't my sound effects load up dials?

    Why won't my Premier Elements load up sound effects dials??

    Exactly which Audio Effects are you talking about?
    Also, when one experiences GUI display issues (many of the Effects have animated settings panels), I always recommend that they go to the nVidia, or AMD/ATI Web site (depending on the mfgr. of their video card), download and install the very latest video driver. Even if that is not the solution to the display, it gets a common problem out of the way early.
    Good luck, and please let us know just a bit more.

  • Should I use premiere elements for editing 24p DSLR footage?

    Have been shooting with a t4i in 24p and am doing some small business videos - I need some advice on whether I should use premiere elements to edit this footage.  Also need to be able drawing lines, add arrows and animate them etc.  Is this beyond premiere?  Have been using elements for about 5 years on and off, maybe time to step it up?

    fishmor
    I do not see why not.
    It is getting late where I am so I will leave you with some things to consider -
    This is what I have found ouy about 24p mentions in Premiere Elements that seem to have no function...

    As for ability to draw lines, add arrows, and animate them, etc. See program's Titler and its Text Styles Animations Shape sections.
    The Premiere Elements Titler offers more opportunities than just text titles. But, sometimes you may want to create a graphic in Photoshop Elements and import it into Premiere Elements. Keep in mind that Premiere Pro is not a photo editor either. Some things that I have done in Premiere Elements in the way of animation....

  • How to fix speck of dust on video clip; Premiere Elements 9

    Hello
    I have a shot in a video which has a spec of dust on the camera lens.  It's only a short clip but it would be really good if I could clean up the spot.  I've looked across this forum and found a few discussions but as I am new to Premiere Elements and video editing language in general I found them hard to understand!  Have had a go at working it out but a few hours later of tearing my hair out I thought I'd pose my own question and see if someone can help!  I can fix the smear in a still in Photoshop using the 'spot heal' tool, just wish there was some similar way of doing it to video in Premiere Elements.
    If someone can help I would be very grateful, I had lots of problems trying to put a photo here so I've put it on a blog link here:
    http://stellasims.wordpress.com/2014/09/01/still-image-from-pe-9/
    You can see the spot just below his collar.
    Thank you!

    Stellastar80
    Is this the spot
    If so, let us do this....Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 assumed on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Highlight the clip on the Timeline.
    Go to Clip Menu/Effects Mask/Apply
    You should then see a bounding box on screen - position that bounding box so that the spot is inside it. Resize the bounding box using one of its
    handles so that it is just large enough to house the spot...no excess.
    Go to Edit Header/Effects/Presets/Blurs/Fast Blur In, select it and then click Apply.
    In Edit Effects, adjust the blur. It can be tricky - often more than a tiny amount does not work.
    Please give it a look and let us know the outcome.
    The following blog post was done with Premiere Elements 11, not 9.0/9.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. Probably more than you want, but just in case....
