Premiere Elements 3 with Windows 7

I have been using Premiere Elements 3.0 with windows XP and it has been sufficient for what I want to do. I have now upgraded to Windows 7 and the disk will not reinstall the program. I noticed that there was an update for Vista of Premiere Elements 3.0.2, which I tried, but that progam won't run unless I have my original program installed. How can I resolve this to get the progam onto the system? Thanks.

I think XP Mode is only for W7 Pro and W7 Ult. If running under any other of the W7 variants you only get the the 'traditional' Vista compatbility mode. If you have a genuine XP license you can install and run XP in a virtual PC.

Editing iMovie files with Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows

Hi,
My 12 year old asked for Final Cut Pro for Christmas to edit movies he takes on his iPod touch and iPad. However, he has a Windows-based desktop. As I understand it, Final Cut Pro is not a Windows-based program. I thought we could get him Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows, but will he be able to manipulate his iMovie files easily? I have no idea what format the iMovie files are. Will he be able to download them to his Windows desktop, edit his movie, and then upload back to his Apple devices? Thanks!

Bottom line: Making distinction between video editor project files and formats of exports.
Details...
The iPod touch and iPad typically offer video files H.264.mov or H.264.mp4 formats. This is not a Mac versus Windows matter because we are talking exports (.mov and .mp4) not project files from a video editing project.
He should be able to take his iPod or iPad device videos and edit them in Premiere Elements. And, then he should be able to return them to his device(s).
But, many of these devices record video with a variable frame rate (depending on the lighting conditions to a great extent). Premiere Elements (any version) can have problems with such video to the extend (a) out of sync audio (b) cannot import file at all. I have a iPod Touch 4th Generation and have no Premiere Elements importing/editing/exporting problems with my 1280 x 720 @ 30 progressive frames per second (H.264.mov) video from that iPod.
Below is an excerpt of Premiere Elements 13 exports that might be of interest...

The ideal way would be to look at the tryout of Premiere Elements 13 before purchase. If not possible, then, if purchased from Adobe direct, there
should be an opportunity for money back within 30 days of purchased. If purchased from an authorized reseller, then the refund/return would be according to the policy of the retailer.
Please let us know if you are OK with the above information. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask. If clarification on anything that I have written is needed, please let me know.

Premiere Elements 11 + Windows 8 pro = slow timeline scrolling!

Hi!
I experience slow redraw of the timeline clips when I scroll,
which makes it very difficult, slow and unpleasant to edit!
This in nothing new to you all, as I have read in many posts about this problem!
And everyone is asking (below these posts) questions like:
"do you have the latest QuickTime codecs?" or "do you have the latest graphics drivers?"
or that our pc are slow or that we work with strange video formats or to change to no thumbnail in the clips or that its
the antivirus fault or whatever.
It is not all these!
As I have read:
-It can happen in many versions of Premiere Elements(maybe in all of them, I don't know)
-It can happen in both ATI/AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards
-It can happen in all hardware configurations CPU/motherboards
-It can happen in all windows versions and both 32/64 bit
So I am guessing it is not our fault.
Can Adobe finally fix this problem with an update? It's been so many versions until now!
please... Is it so difficult?
Can't the programmers see what are we talking about? Can't they fix the programme?
Before I bought Premiere Elements 11 I had the 9 version in windows 7(64bit)
The same problem, slow/laggy timeline redraw when moving back and forth.
The solution I found was to disable the Aero feature in windows 7!
And oh my god... the timeline then was so fast and smooth, I was so happy to edit!
So I compromised with that(disabling aero).
Recently I have upgrad the same PC to windows 8 pro(64 bit) AND bought Premiere Elements 11. (hoping for speed in every possible way!)
The slow timeline scrolling still happens in both PRE9 and in PRE11.
And guess what? in windows 8 pro you can't disable the "aero feature"!!!
You can only change some visual settings, and even if I disable all of them, nothing changes!
So are we really stuck with the laggy timeline scrolling in windows 8???
Premiere Elements 11 is so much faster in all other things (exept the timeline scrolling)
In the preview window for example. It can play really smooth, in real time WITHOUT render preview
some pretty difficult compositions I make! multiple layers, with greenbox and many other filter effects!
Which in Premiere Elements 9 (in the same PC) the preview play was very laggy!
(don't forget that with aero disabled in PE9(win7), same PC, same complicated compositions, timeline scrolling superfast!)
I think they made some pretty good graphic card use in the preview play in PRE11!
I present and edit a youtube show with Premiere Elements with demanding compositing and everyone thinks I use Premiere Pro CS
version or After Effects CS. But I don't, I want to be legal and I can't aford the prices of these applications
so I buy and use the Elements series which are very powerful as well, if you know what to do and HOW to do it!
See for youselves my show I posted today(in Greek, I am from Greece), which I edited in PRE11.(pefrect greenbox, perfect!)
http://youtu.be/HdKAKI6P8tU?hd=1&t=1m28s (open in a new window)
or move time to 1:28 from the below youtube video window.
But unfortunattely the timeline scrolling made my editing unpleasant and slow!
My question is: Will I, (now that I have upgraded to windows 8 pro 64bit) have to edit ALL my next shows/videos
with the slow/laggy timeline scrolling??? please tell me something to hope for...

I have an ATI/AMD FirePro v4800 1GB GDDR5 with the latest drivers for this card (8.982.8.3)
Is my video card not compatible?
this slow redraw of the timeline happened way before
and everytime a new driver version came up I had installed it but that didn't change anything.
Only with aero disabled I would enjoy a fast timeline scrolling in windows 7. (now, not possible in windows 8 pro)
Bill how can you explain this? Same video card and everytime with the SAME NEW drivers, aero on=slow timeline, aero off=fast timeline!
Is there some kind of a fix that we can always wait from our graphics card companies to include to new drivers??? (for how long???)
or maybe is it all up to Adobe and its own programme?
Are we all supposed to have old video display drivers?
Can someone make some kind of a poll for people who have this problem to vote to see where this problem apears, in which configurations, in which graphics cards? (assuming they have latest drivers)
so we all finally know what/where is the problem.
I love the premiere elements series and thats why I want this to be solved.

Every time I try to upload MOV files from my iphone 5s onto my adobe premiere elements on windows 8 i get 'the importer reported a generic error'

What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Windows 8.1 64 bit? For now I will assume Premiere Elements 12 in a NTSC set up.
Your iPhone 5s video is expected to be 1080p @ 30 progressive frames per second? Do you confirm that? Because of the source of your video, it is highly likely that you are dealing with a variable frame rate.
Please give the following a try to see if you then have an "importable" product to take into Premiere Elements presumed 12/12.1.
Download and install the free HandBrake program.
http://handbrake.fr/
Import your video file into the program.
Make sure you browse to and set Destination (suggested Desktop location)
Go to the Video Tab and set
Video codec = H.264 (x264)
Frame Rate = 29.97
put a dot next to Constant for the Frame Rate
Click on the Start at the top left of the workspace
Wait for the "Queue Finished" to appear in the progress bar at the bottom left of the workspace.
Then see if this H.264.mp4 (1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second file can be imported into Premiere Elements 12 project with a manually set project preset of NTSC/DSLR/1080p/DLSR 1080p30@ 29.97.
Details for setting manual project preset can be found in
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
The details that I have posted in this reply are customized for Premiere Elements and should work fine for you.
We will be watching for your results.

Downloading Photoshop/Premiere Elements for Windows

Adobe Premiere Elements 10 Windows 32 bit installer package
Adobe Premiere Elements 10 Windows 64 bit installer

Anyways.....a lot of that seems repetitive and I just am not sure if I am supposed to download it all or only certain ones. If someone could help me out, great! Thanks.

The Adobe Download Manager will deal with everything automatically. You can download both programs simultaneously if you have a fast connection, other wise I would recommend installing Photoshop Elements first. Then download Premiere Elements 64 bit. Finally update the content fpor |premier Elements and you are good to go.

Premiere Elements 12 Windows 7 64 Bit

Downloaded Premiere Elements 12 Windows 7 advised i should have downloaded 64 Bit version Can you help me find this version frustrating Thanks Gordon

If everything is still unsettled at this point, let us try this.
Go to the following web site and follow its "Important: Very Important Instructions" word for word to download the tryout of Premiere Elements 12.
http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-12-direct-download-links-premiere.html
You will see the specific file before you click on it. BUT DO NOT click on the file until you have followed the "Important" Very Important Instructions" there. Otherwise you will get hit with an Access Denied message.
Once you have downloaded the program, install it and insert your purchased serial number in it.
If any problems with the above, then it is time for Adobe (only one that can help you at that point) to sort out the details of your purchase and what is going on with your order. If you do this, click on the following link to open it. When the link opens, click on the statement "I still need help" to bring up the Adobe Chat. The topic should be Orders, Refunds, and Exchanges.

Hi, I have bought Photoshop and Premiere Elements for windows, but I now have a iMac and would like to deactivate on the PC and transfer the programs to the iMac. Is that possible even do I bought it for Windows?

Normally an Elements purchase is good for both platforms. You should only need to download and install the Mac versions of the programs and install and activate them using the serial number you have from the opriginal purchase.

Im trying to install Adobe Premiere Elements on Window 8. The Windows Installer is not working.. some window pops up with an error message and it does not install

I get the following window pop up after trying to install Adobe Premiere Elements. After it prompts me to select the language i get this:

I think I figued it out... But why installations instructions didn't come up when I inserted the disk was very annoying. And because they didn't, Adobe should post th installations instructions somewhere on their support site. Not here now, which is also annoying.

Premiere Elements 12 Windows project to Mac

I started my project on Windows 7 with Premiere Elements 12. Now I want to work with the project on Mac with Premiere Elements 12 (the same version). Unfortunately I got the error "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements". I used Project Archiver which created a new folder with all files on an external disc. Mac opened it and Premiere started to load it but then threw the error.
Would it be possible to open a project done on Windows with Mac? I really need this because I've done quite a lot work with the project but my Windows license is over and converted to Mac.

TitusK
The project file (project.prel) created in Premiere Elements Windows cannot be opened in Premiere Elements Mac. The reverse is also true.
One possibility might be to export your Premiere Elements Windows Timeline to the appropriate .mov or .mp4 and then import that file
into Premiere Elements Mac new project. But, from what you wrote about your present circumstances, this does not seem to be possible.
This is the situation with Premiere Elements (any version).
Be aware that there are several Windows Only features in Premiere Elements.
Please do not hesitate to ask if any questions or need further clarification on anything written here.
Thank you.

CS6 Exporter Plugin doesn't open in Premiere Elements 11 (Windows)

I want to make my (Windows) exporter-plugin compatible with Premeire Elements 11.
So far, I have been gotten my exporter-plugin to appear in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6, and the plugin runs there correctly.
I then followed the directions for running Premeire CS6 to create an export a preset file (*.epr). I copied copied that exported *.epr file to "OTHERS/MyCompany/MyPreset.epr" in my Premere 11 [App installation folder]. (As well as copying the plugin-binary *.prm to Plug-ins/common
In the <Publish:Share> tab, when I use the mouse to highlight 'OTHERS', I receive an error-dialog-box :
"Premiere Elements has encountered an error.
[..\..\Src\Exporter_Accessors.cpp-213]"   [Continue]
After I click continue, I don't get the dialog-box for my exporter-plugin. In the <Publish:Share> tab, I now see the warning-triangle and some text next to it: "Export Settings Invalid"

Hmm, I forgot about using Visual Studio's debugger. After some debugging, the error was triggered the first time the SDK_Exporter plugin called anything involving the <exportParamSuite>.
After a little more digging, I found that Adobe Premiere Elements 11 doesn't support the latest version of the exportParamSuite (kPrSDKExportParamSuiteVersion4).
In the CS6 SDK sample project SDK_Exporter, the function exSDKBeginInstance() grabs all of the suiteAPIs. The following call fails:
     spError = spBasic->AcquireSuite(
         kPrSDKExportParamSuite,
         kPrSDKExportParamSuiteVersion, // CS6 supports v4, but crashes in Premiere Elements 11
         const_cast<const void**>(reinterpret_cast<void**>(&(mySettings->exportParamSuite))));
The original-call returns an spError code of <kSPSuiteNotFoundError>, which is actually misleading. I changed the version-argument to v3, and the error-call went away.
     spError = spBasic->AcquireSuite(
         kPrSDKExportParamSuite,
         kPrSDKMemoryManagerSuiteVersion3, // compatible with Premiere Elements 11
         const_cast<const void**>(reinterpret_cast<void**>(&(mySettings->exportParamSuite))));
so it looks like Premiere Pro CS6 SDK's sample SDK_Exporter project requires a few tweaks to run with Premiere elements 11.

How far are you getting with your install of Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1 64 bit? Any error
messages?
The help call sounds like there are problems. Lots of questions need to be put together with answers.
Besides the above, the typical drill questions in matters such as these include
1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
2. Are you running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
3. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements?
4. Are you working with a pen and tablet device or mouse?
5. Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the
card?
6. Depending on the error messages, your possible solutions might be

OK the evening the next day as possible to get into the software, adobe tries to open a window and immediately opens "a problem caused the program has stopped working correctly, windows will close the program.
I uninstalled adobe and returned again without positive result.

What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
-you need to go direct to the vendor web site and check updates for yourself

Premiere Elements 11, Windows 8, Was Working Fine, Now 'Has Stopped Working'

I have just finished a project successfully, burned a BluRay with acceptable result, then shut down for the night. While viewing the BluRay, I saw a couple of glitches I wanted to fix, and the menu did not appear, so re-opened the project this morning. Thinking a stop marker would fix the menu not re-appearing, I inserted one at where I thought the end of my video was. I then found an unnecessary clip at the end that had slipped by me, making the end of the video longer, and likely the problem with the main menu not coming back. I deleted the clip. I rendered, saved, and played, but the playback wouldn't start. I closed and restarted about 5 times, same result. Now, Premiere Elements does not start at all, I get the splash screen, then the Windows box saying the program has stopped working and Windows will be in touch with me when they find a solution. Any ideas? I de-selected a sound device in Control Panel while the program was running, but have undone that action and the program will not start. I appreciate the help.

ATR, thanks for the quick response. I tried some of your suggestions (from another related issue) in troubleshooting this one.
Good info on the stop marker, I will remove it.
Long story short, I have managed to re-install the program and get it to start. After the third time, the combination seems to be to Remove my preferences, Remove downloaded content, and Deactivate Product. I was reluctant to do the deactivation checkbox, I downloaded the program and was concerned about being locked out, Adobe thinking this was another illegal install.
I started the program gently (giving things a long time to load, light on the hard drive being the main indicator) and was able to reload the video that seemed to cause the problem. Rendered, played, edited, no problems at this point.
As to what may have caused the trouble initially, I'm not sure. I have speakers run off the analog onboard sound, with a microphone connected. I also have a USB headset w/ microphone that I use for narration and latenight listening. These devices don't seem to know about each other, and changing their status in Control Panel does not translate to a current Elements session. In Elements preferences, I enabled the analog speakers. From there, things went downhill. The sound wouldn't play, then the play would not start the video in editor, then the program would not start at all.
I really like this program so far. I used Elements 1 and 2 way back when (with a computer to end all computers) to get all of our VHS recordings onto digital media. I did some editing and made some videos, then got away from it for a few years. We started diving and I got a GoPro camera. It didn't take too long to figure out the computer I had wouldn't do it for the new video formats. So, I now have the computer to end all computers to take care of the task. This has been the first glitch I've had in Elements 11. I expected a great deal more trouble with Windows 8.
Anyway, thanks again. If I find a recurring issue here, I will be sure to post it.

Premiere Elements 11 (Windows 64 bit): Frequent glitches after rendering

I am currently trying to render around 20 videos, around 12 hours in total duration (video lengths vary from 5 minutes to 105 minutes).
Unfortunately, about 50% of the time, when i watch a newly rendered video, there will be some sort of graphical glitch. For example, a clip will be missing from start to finish, replaced with a blank beige screen (definitely not in the timeline), or a random graphical glitch where some of the visuals become warped for a couple of a seconds.
Here is a screen shot of a glitch
And here is a screen shot of my render settings:
This is costing me a lot of time and effort.
Is there anything I can do to reduce the frequency of these errors, or scan videos for errors without having to watch them closely manually??
thanks.

Adobe Premiere Elements 9-Windows 7

I have installed Adobe Premiere Elements 9 my new Windows 7-laptop, When I start a new project, the project settings window appears but this window is "frozen" and I can´t don anything in this window or conntinue. What can be the matter?

There are two "zoom" for the Timeline display, and the first - horizontal - can be done via the Horizontal Zoom slider, or with the + & - keys. Also, to collapse the horizontal zoom to show the full Timeline, one can press the \ (Backslash) key. The latter is very useful when one needs to adjust the WAB (Work Area Bar), if set, to encompass the entire length of the whole Timeline.
Then, there is vertical zoom, which is accomplished by hovering the cursor over the top of a Track in the Track's Header, until the cursor turns into a "sandwich w/ two arrowheads (two parallel lines with up/down arrowheads), and then click+dragging. Finding the active point in the Track Header can be a bit of a "pixel-search," but once one finds that, it will be easier the next time, and then the next.
Good luck, and hope that these help you zoom the Tracks, and the Timeline.
