Premiere Elements 3.0_stops inserting video clips?

Hi I hope someone can help me out here. When I'm adding mini video clips, it stops after a point which is no where near even half a dvd let alone a full one, and says 'adobe system memory low', cannot add any more save project.
What gets me is that my PC is has plenty of gb memory on it, do I need to do something in settings so it will take more video clips? Its really frustrating, my husband bought me this as a 40th present 2 years ago and I haven't been able to create a finished dvd properly because what I want to create is stopped by premiere with this system low, save project message, there is no way near the amount of clips I could get onto a dvd. Any ideas please??? Thanks

First, have you update your version 3 with the version 3.02 patch? This is very important -- especially if you are working on a system running other than Windows XP.
Second, I'm not quite clear where things are failing for you. Are you saying you're capturing miniDV over FireWire and that the program won't capture any further? If not, what type of camcorder is your video coming from and how are you getting it into your computer?
How fast is your processor, how much RAM do you have and how much free space is left on your C drive? Are you capturing your video to your C drive or to another drive?
You will likely need at least 20-30 gigs of free space on your C drive -- and it's very important that this drive be freshly defragmented. Fragmentation can cause the very symptoms you're describing, since the program need large chunks of free hard drive space for its paging and scratch files.

Premiere Element 12 when moving video clips. HELP me Rhonda!

I am currently running Windows 7 (Professional) and I downloaded Premiere Element 12 off Tech Soup so I could make a short video for my company. I am working on a specific project and I have done a considerable amount of editing already. When I try to renegotiate the positions of various clips- an "error" message appears and then the program shuts down. Is my computer incompatible??? HELP! I don't want to lose all the work I have done. Also, I am so desperate I would be willing to buy the software all over again and put it on my mac-laptop but that would be my last resort! Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Thanks for the reply. Let us see what we can do with what you have.
When I asked about computer resources, I was asking about how much installed and available RAM the computer has, how much free hard drive space, the processor and the clock speed. Most of that you can get by right clicking the word Computer and selecting Properties.
About your alternative plans...
Your Premiere Elements 12 Windows project is not going to work on Premiere Elements Mac (whatever version)
If you export your Premiere Elements 12 project to a .mp4 file (Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with one of the .mp4 presets), you can import that into a Premiere Elements Mac project. However, that is a whole video which will need trimming to make significant further edits.
No guarantees, but your Premiere Elements 12 Windows project file should open in Premiere Elements 13 Windows. But, work with a copy of the Premiere Elements 12 Windows project as a safety net.
This is what I would like you to do.
Can you open that Premiere Elements 12 Windows project that shutdown when you were moving clips around in the Edit area of the program? If so, open to the Expert workspace. Have you placed audio transitions in the Timeline content? If so, remove them and determine if the problem is gone, is the same, or gets worse.
Also, what specific media were you moving around when the crash took place? If you can open the project, can you delete and re-import the file(s) in question? What Timeline tracks are you using and which were involved in this incident?
I am particularly interested in the answer to the last question to use the answer as a point to start the troubleshooting.
Please let me know if you need clarification on the above.
We will be watching for further developments and will keep close track of your posts.

I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync. They work fine when played in Quicktime.

Hello,
I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync as soon as I load it into the program. It appears to work fine in Quicktime.
Thanks in advance.

mbgoodwi
Thanks for the reply. This is the plan.
Open Premiere Elements 12/12.1 to the Expert workspace.
In the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, select the project preset
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD LITE 720p30
OK out of there. In the New Project dialog that appears, note that it has your new project preset named.
Be sure to put a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". And, then OK out of there.
Back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders to bring your video
into Project Assets. From Project Assets drag your video to the Timeline Video Track 1/Audio Track 1.
Is there an orange line over the content in the Timeline. See screenshot for orange line to which I am referring.
There should be no colored line over the content if the project preset matches the video properties. But, if you do see
that orange line, then render the Timeline content by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard or press
the Render button above the Timeline.
Do your video/audio now play back in the Edit area monitor in sync?
Please let us know the result, and then we will decide what next.
Thanks.

Inserting video clip and have both audios at once

Hi everyone, hopefully somone can help answer my question. My friend has a video blog and the person who used to do all of his technical stuff is no longer with him, so he's trying to figure it all out, and I figured I'd try to help him.
In iMovie, does anyone know how to insert a video clip into the main video clip and have the inserted video being shown on the screen but the audio of both videos playing at the same time, with no break in continuity of the main video's audio? Then, how to transition from the inserted video with both audios playing at the same time back to just the main video, again with no breaks in audio continuity? I know it's possible on FinalCut Pro, because that is what his tech person used, but for some reason that program freezes my friend's computer, so he's stuck with iMovie for now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for your reply devbear11. You ALMOST got what I was asking for. I'm sorry if my wording is confusing, lol. Everything you said is great, EXCEPT that I want to KEEP the audio on the inserted video in ADDITION to the audio on the original clip. So to break it down....
- Main video clip is playing.
- Segue into the inserted video clip. Have the screen be showing the inserted video clip and have it be playing it's own audio, WITHOUT interrupting the audio of the original/main video.
- Inserted video clip plays on the screen and you hear both the audio of the inserted video clip in addition to whatever my friend is saying on the main audio....To give you an example, my friend blogs about figure skating. So he will be discussing a competition and the screen is showing him at his desk talking about the different skaters. While he is discussing a certain skater, he may input a clip of their performance and you will see and hear them skating to their music, but still be able to hear him discussing it uninterrupted in the background.
- Once the inserted clip ends, the video switches back to my friend at his desk, with his commentary uninterrupted.
Am I making sense? lol

Inserting video clips

My group are fairly new ussers of Vis. Com. Today we inserted video clips into a program and immediate were given the message that the program was not responding and would close. Three hours later we tried to open that program and review it to be given the same message. Does processing a video clip need this much time or have we overlooked some detail?

Actually, no, that's not how I did it . . . I used the advanced tools/replace clip feature. It took me a while to figure out though, it's not explained clearly in the app help, but you have to separate longer clips to isolate the section you want to replace. Then choose a section from the replacement clip that's the same length, with accurate in and out points so it lines up with the existing audio track (if that's a factor)... sometimes needs some trial and error to make it work, but the results are exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the reply, the 'cutaway clip' thing looks good too!

Does Premiere elements 10 support MOV movie clip formats?

Does premiere elements 10 support MOV movie clip formats?

MOV is really but a wrapper, and can contain a broad range of CODEC's. Many, like PhotoJPEG, Animation, H.264, and many more will work fine, so long as one has Apple's QT Player installed, or the necessary CODEC's installed. However, if the file came from a Mac, and went to a PC, and had been Exported from FCP, or similar, there could well be one of the Apple Intermediate CODEC's inside, and most of those are NOT available on the PC. Also, if the file came from FCP, even if going to a Mac, there are CODEC's, that will only come from FCP, so one would need that program installed.
This ARTICLE will give you more detail on File Formats as "wrappers."
Please let us now what is inside that MOV wrapper, and someone can direct you.

Wie erstelle ich mit Premiere Elements 12 von einem Video eine Bilderserie?

wie erstelle ich mit Premiere Elements 12 von einem Video eine Bilderserie?

Please review and consider the following on detailed how to regarding obtaining the individual frames as jpegs from a video file.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/08/pe11-freeze-frames-single-or-more-than.html
The article applies to Premiere Elements 12 as well as 11.
Just in case notes
a. An important aspect of the Export to Sequence is that you create a folder beforehand to accept the huge number of Freeze Frame jpegs from video.
b. An important aspect is that you find "Image" choice in the Publish+Share/Computer choices. Users often think that there are only 3 choices there, Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD (what they can see). There are more including Image further down the list. To go down the list
use the scroll bar to the right of the list
or
click on Adobe Flash Video to select it (panel turns blue) and then use the down arrow key to move down the list.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

New to Premiere Elements 9 - adding keywords to clips in timeline?

Hello to hopefully my new best friends
I am editing college football highlights. I have been using iMovie for about 3 years, but it lacks certain features that I was told (still hoping!) Premiere Elements 9 has. Anyway -- I am editing from full game videos from an external hard drive. I have imported an mp4 file (full game), dragged it to the timeline, and edited out the plays that I want to keep, then delete the rest of the footage. So, I have lots of short clips on my timeline. Before I begin the "real editing" or adding the transitions, effects, titles, etc., I would like to be able to "tag" each little clip with a keyword, such as "tackle, sack, interception, etc." - so that I can sort them easily. I see that you can add keyword tags in the "Organizer" - but that adds the tag to the "entire clip" - which in my case is a complete football game; not my edited clips. Is there any way to tag my edited clips in the timeline???
Thank you so much in advance for any help you can provide!
Kim

Kim,
I've not done this in PrE, so someone else will have to tell you where my process goes off, or exactly how to easily do it in PrE. In PrPro, I can do exactly as you have done, then create Sub-Clips from each of those segments in my Timeline. This will then place them into a Bin (like a folder that I create) in my Project Panel. I have the availability to use many different Columns there, and can even create them to suit. I can also order those Columns, so that say "Description" is the first Column visible, after the Clip/Sub-Clip's name. Some of the Columns, like Description, are text boxes, and I can easily fill them in with just the type of annotation, that you describe. When working on Projects, similar to yours, I will move Description to the head of the list, with Video Usage, and then Audio Usage next. Other attribute Columns follow along, and are ordered to my preferences.
Sorry that I am much less familiar with PrE, as most of my Projects there are rather simple. Still, I know that PrE offers one the ability to display several text Columns in Project Panel, so that part should work. I am just unsure of the Sub-Clips, so that you can easily see just what you have Cut.
Good luck, and I am sure that others will be along in a bit, and can point you to an exact workflow, that will get you what you want.
Hunt
BTW - by using single words in Descriptions, I can even Sort by that Column. Not sure where the alpha runs out - first letter of first word, or something else?
PS - Welcome to the forum!

Premiere Elements 8.0 project and clip previews blank!

I've recently purchased a copy of Premiere Elements 8.0, as I have a big film project that needed to be edited and can't afford Premiere!
Anyways, I started editing last night and unfortunately we had a power cut and my computer switched off. Before this I could preview clips (mpegs) to see which parts I'd like to add to my timeline and could preview the project (audio AND visual). But now when I've reopened the project the preview is blank (black) and plays audio, or sometimes it plays with a turquoise flashing background - again audio can be heard but I cannot view the video. Same with clips. Plays audio but I cannot see the video.
Any tips to fix this? It worked fine before, but now no preview!
CHeers!

Uninstall PRE8 and then reinstall it.
You say 'recently purchased' - it would be well worth your while to see if you are eligible for a 'complimentary upgrade' to PRE9 as the newer version is reputed to be far more stable than PRE8. If not eligible but you purchased within the last thirty days I suggest you go for the 30-day money back guarantee and get PRE9.
Cheers,

Premiere Elements 9 for Mac: import clip format woes

So, is the Mac version of PrEl 9 simply unable to import video clips in the .wmv or .avi formats, or are there some codecs or modules I can install to enable this?

The Mac version absolutely does edit DV-AVIs. In fact, it edits them natively -- just as if they were DV-MOVs.
But I doubt your editing software is creating DV-AVIs. It's likely using some proprietary codec.
There is a program called G-Spot for PCs that will show you your AVIs codec information. There is also a Mac program that will do this for free, but I don't know the name of it.
If you can find it and we can determine what the codec is for your AVIs, we may be able to figure out what to do with it or how to convert it to an editable file.
Meantime, you can try to put it in Premiere Elements, place it on your timeline and Share/Computer/MOV using the DV preset. It may convert the file into something you can use in an editing project.

Why does Adobe Premiere Elements 11 download my videos to my computer so slowly?

Hey guys, I have been using Adobe Premiere Elements 11, for quite some time, and I noticed that its download speed is as slow as a turtle. I know it is not my download speed, because when I download files from the internet, or games, it goes as fast as anything. Just so you have more information, I will tell you have my recording/uploading process goes. First, I record the video (Using Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 Screen Capture). Then, I would send it to my video encoder. (Microsoft Expression Encoder 4). I would then encode the video, and send that output file to Adobe Premiere Elements 11 for further editing and to download it to my computer. Now, everything up to this point takes maybe 30 minutes. But when I get to Adobe, it takes more less 3 hours (give or take a few minutes). Finally, after all that waiting, I upload it to Youtube, which takes about an hour or so. My problem is Adobe is taking far to much time to install/download the video. And as a result of that, I can only put out about a video a day. Is there any way to speed that up, or should I just get a new editing software? All feedback, and help is greatly appreciated.

Gamer
The typical ways to introduce media into Premiere Elements 11 is via AddMedia which puts the source media into Project Assets and from there you drag the contents to the Timeline Expert view edit.
These would be your choices.
You say that you used Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 and a picture from Photoshop Elements 11.
Given that you are doing screen captures with Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 and you have a photo from Photoshop Elements 11, but how are you introducing them into Premiere Elements 11? At the same time that we are looking into the how, we need to look into the what, especially for the screen captures. The video and audio formats and file extension among other things are important to the Premiere Elements workflow.
So, again I would ask you to offer answers to what I had asked
I am assuming that you are talking about the time it takes for the video to import into Project Assets for you to drag to the Timeline. Are you observing any indexing and/or conforming going on (bar at bottom right of Expert view interface) during this 3 hour await time?
Among other things, what are you using for Add Media and to get to Project Assets? And, the usual drill, what are the properties of your source media, including size and duration, video and audio compression, file extension, etc.? By comparison what is the size and duration of those Internet games et al. that seem to be transferring to your expectations?
Is this one of those issues where "it never worked before" or "it worked before but not now" specific to Adobe files of the size and duration and properties that you are focusing on?
I see the answers to all of the above as expediting the matter to get your concerns addressed.
Please review.
Thank you.

Does Premiere Elements 13 Support 4K video?

Somehow my previous question disappeared. Does this program support 4K to burn to 4K Blu Rays?

351mustang
Both Premiere Elements 12 and 13 have project presets for the video with the resolution of 3840 x 2160 (a 4K resolution) under NTSC only. It also offers
export of the 3840 x 2160 resolution under Publish+Share/Computer/XAVC-S. There is no burn to Blu-ray with any 4K resolution.
Remember, that 4K is a resolution. And, the video codec from manufacturer to manufacturer can vary which impacts the question. The generalization is that
H.264.mp4 4K video is supported by Premiere Elements 12 and 13.
Project Presets, please see NTSC/AVCHD/QFHD choices
Export Opportunity to .mp4 file - please see Publish+Share/Computer/XAVC-S and its presets.
Any questions or need clarification on any of the above, please let us know.
Thank you.

Premiere Elements is cutting large video imports

When I try to import a large gopro file it cuts it down to the first minute. I was hoping to get the highest quality file imported into Adobe. I can get around this by reducing the quality of the file and shortening the length in gopro studio but why am I having to use to separate programs?

123
There are several problems here, two of which are frame size and frame rate.
Next in line is your report that your import duration is less than the pre-import duration of the original.
You say that your camera is set to record 1920 x 1080 @ 48 progressive frames per second. But according
to your screenshot, the frame size is 1920 x 1440 @ 47.95. This is an atypical format for the Premiere Elements project presets.
And Premiere Elements does not have a 47.95 or 48 frames per second.frame rate.
So, if you drag and drop or use Add Media/Files and Folders, the project is going to give you automatically a 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames
per second project preset, and your footage in the Edit area monitor is going to look like
How do you account for the fact that you are shooting 1920 x 1080 @ 48 progressive frames per second and your
import properties within the project are showing 1920 x 1440 @ 47.95 progressive frames per second. My focus here
is on the frame size right now. From what I have read, your camera can record 1920 x 1440 @ 48 progressive frames per second.
The Properties screenshot, presumed from the program read of the file's properties, shows a duration of 8 minutes 32 seconds and
22 frames. What is the total duration of the file before import? Around 13 minutes?
For troubleshooting purposes, If you record at 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second, do you run into these frame size and frame rate and duration issues?
Let us further see how the program is interpreting your video. Please right click the thumbnail of the file in Expert workspace Project Assets
and select Interpret Footage. In the Interpret Footage dialog, what is listed in the Frame Rate section for frame rate of original file. And, in
the Pixel Aspect Ratio of the dialog, what is shown, Square Pixels (1.0) or something else?
I will see if I can find some GoPro Black 3 1920 x 1440 @ 48 progressive frames per second footage with which to work in Premiere Elements.
There are a lot of details to sort through. Looking forward to your help in getting at the whys so that you can move forward with your
projects.
Thanks.

Premiere Elements 4 Scratch disk error / clips off line

Hi,
I am a new user to Premiere Elements 4.0. I have just started teaching Media Studies and am attempting A Level coursework, and am having numerous problems.
1. We have been editing for some time. Today, when trying to access a project (all projects are stored on a designated drive of a school system), a notice popped up saying there was a scratch disk error and the project could not be opened unless the scratch files were put in the My Documents section of the school system. What does this mean? Is the project lost to us for good? I have a copy saved on an external hard drive and the same message popped up.
This occurred after editing successfully earlier in the morning.
2. Projects which will open are appearing with all the clips offline. Where have they gone?! We have changed nothing since our earlier editing session today.
3. In the earlier successful editing session, one group tried to capture some new material. All the new clips they saved appeared as being offline, and then their existing clips went offline one by one.
Any advice / suggestions?
Thanks you so much to anyone who can help explain this.
Sarah (In Panic!)

Premiere elements 10 and viewing video - avi

Hi all, I am completely baffled at the moment. I am running 2 systems, both with adobe premiere elements 10 and full content packs. I have also installed k-lite codecs pack on both machine. One is a dell i5 lptop and the other is an i7 tower. I am editing the same set of videos, I have copied a set to my desktop and have another set on my laptop. The issue is this:
On the laptop I open premiere, get media and select the avi file I want to edit, the file appears and you can see the image of the video file. It is then OK to work from and edit.
On the desktop, I open premiere, get medi and select the avi file I want to edit, the file appears but this time there is no image just the audio sign. I try to put it intot he video timeline but it only imports the audio.
I have been stumped all night. Why will it work on one machine and not the desktop?
Please can someone help me with this?
Cheers
Darryl
