Premiere Elements 4.0 (FOUR) please...?

Hello,
I bought a Sanyo Xacti camera (nice!) and it came with a DVD to install Premiere Elements 4.0 and it includes of course a serial number.
However, the installation doesn't start for this software. Only for this, the other software on the DVD is installing.
I have looked on the internet for many hours but i cannot find a legal/non-cracked/SAFE elements 4.0 (FOUR) version for download.
This really frustrates me.
Anyone got any idea where i can download the 4.0 version (and then use my serial number i got) ?
(Apart from recommending me to send the camera back and hope for a replacement that may work...)
Can Anyone help please?

Version 4 is a couple of generations ago, loft. So you're not going to find a download site for it (a legal one anyway) or even tech support on the Adobe forum.
Are you saying that you can't install the software? The disc doesnt' work? The serial number doesn't work? It installs but it won't open?
If you can tell us more specifically what's going on -- as well as what operating system you're using -- we may be able to give you some advice.

Problems w/ buring DVD of photo slide show & best Premiere Elements 8 upgrade recommendation please.

I created a video slide show in Adobe Photoshop & Premiere elements 8, kept getting messages: "disk space low, exceeded recommended #of slides and/or recommended 30 minute duration". So what, I want a 90 minutes slide slow?(!) It allowed me to complete, but disk burn would never finalize (after stopping at 78% 8 hours later). How do I get this project file to burn in Nero or something similar and is there better software out there? I have a ton of videos to create after this photo slide show & I certainly can't wait all night for a video to burn after it is created.
PS: I have had this problem w/ previous videos I created. i.e. in the past, using same Premiere Elements version, I have combined multiple video clips into one DVD movie but it took all night to burn. Any insight will be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
I agree with John T., in that the pixel x pixel size of the Still Images would be the first thing that I would look into.
Next, I interpret that error message to be related to the available HDD space. His links on furnishing more info will be important there. Pay special attention to furnishing the full specs. of your I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, available defragmented free-space, controller type and how you have them allocated.
A 90 min. DVD should NOT be over the avilable space on a DVD-5 disc.
If you DO have adequate defragmented free-space on your HDD(s), you should be able to Burn to Folder, and then use Nero, Roxio or the great, free ImgBurn, to do the physical burn to DVD.
However, if you have limited defragmented free-space, that will likely fail, as the working files required are very large.
In very general terms, PrE needs between 40 - 60GB of defragmented free-space, just to run effectively and efficiently. When one does either a Burn to Folder, or Burn to Disc, that necessary space can go up.
Also remember that as one approaches about 70% of HDD capacity, performance decreases. As one nears 100%, performance can slow to a crawl, and at 100% catastrophic failure of the HDD is a strong possibility. One should not exceed about 70%, and NEVER go to 100%.
Good luck, and please let us know more, and especially about your I/O sub-system.

I need HELP with exporting videos with PIP from Premiere Elements 11 to YouTube please?

When I am editing and rendering videos that have picture-in-picture using Premiere Elements 11, the videos (once they've been uploaded to YouTube) have these thick black margins above and below the picture-in-picture images/videos. These margins are not visible when the videos are viewed using Premiere Elements but then they appear when the video is on YouTube. How can I prevent this? Is this a format issue? Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
Can you tell us exactly how you created your PiP, please?
Knowing the specs. of both your background Video (and your Project Settings), plus the specs. of the Video used in the PiP, will likely be useful.
Also, seeing a screen-cap of your Timeline, at the point of the PiP, might be useful too.
Good luck,

Premiere Elements 9 technical problem - please help

Hello,
I have very serious problem with my Premiere Elements 9 for Mac.
This program is turning off over and over again.
I have started to prepare my new project and during the playback oraz during the operations on texts Premiere turns off very often.
It wasn't huge problem for me because I was using save very often but the main problem is that now I can not create any DVD nor export this project to any video file because during the encoding process Premiere is turning off again (usually between 65-95% of the process of encoding)
I tried to open this project on my PC with Windows with Premiere Elements 7 but 7 shows this file is not compatibile with previous version. So I installed ver. 9 on Windows (I bought Mac/Windows) and again Premiere Elements 9 for Windows has shown that my mac file is not compatibile??
I was trying to find any bug fix files on Internet but I haven't found.
Can anybody help me? It's 4 pm here and I need to burn my dvds invitation of my son's birthday for tomorrow and I have stucked.
Here are some additional information:
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 Mac/Windows edition (seperate installing dvds) - legally purchased
Latest MacOs - orignal
No external codecs
No illigal programms
Only legal software
I will appreciate you help.
Kind regards,
Tom
p.s. I use Premiere Elements for few years so I know what to do or wat to click to export file or create DVD

Ha!!!
I found the source of problem
I mentioned that my problems have started when I had added text so I removed all text made by Elements text tool (I noticed that after rendering these object was still with red line instead of green).
So now everything is ok so I'll prepare all texts as a psd transparent files and it will be great
So it is Adobe's error - I hope they will prepare some fix for it.
Anyway, thank you guys for help and support.
I hope I'll finish my project this night because two unsleeping nights are to much for me
Take care,
Tom

Newly installed Premiere Element 13 won't run.

I just installed Premiere Element13. The program launches but when I select either "New" or "Existing" project, a pop-up will show with the message"Adobe Premiere Element.exe - No Disk" "Please insert disk in drive D". The pop-up cannot be dismissed and the program is stuck there and won't even close. I have to go to Task Manager to end it! I am running Windows 8.1, i5 4670K CPU, 8G RAM, 1T HD with DVD burner. Any suggestion?

Heliossss
I just installed the purchased version of Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 and 8.1 64 bit. Interesting....
1. Beyond the usual, there seems to be a problem with this version's Interpret Footage and Properties readings for the .mod widescreen 16:9 file

2. With the Sept 2014 tryout there was a video transition named Funnel which is not there now in December 2014 in the
purchased version.
3. In the Sept. 2014 tryout, there were 2 new Movie Menu themes in the Kid's Corner category (Recital and Back to School). They
are not there in my December 2014 purchased Premiere Elements 13.
4. There are some reports about some .m2ts files having no sound only in the Elements Organizer 13 player. More news on that.
This just might be a problem with AC-3 (Dolby Digital) support in this particular user file in the Elements Organizer 13 player. If you run into this type of issue, please let us know.
But, right now all is moving along nicely. Hope all is going well there.

Adobe premiere elements 12 with diamond vc500 one touch video capture device.

Adobe premiere elements 12 and using Diamond vc500 one touch video capture device.
AVI files will not load into Adobe premiere elements 12.
I bought what I thought were the two best software and capture devices.
I am archiving old VHS tapes and using Diamond vc500 capture software called EZ grabber. I thought the best archiving format would be AVI files. As I just started this project. I am willing to do what is needed.
That even being, going and buy another capture device that being for a VCR to PC using a USB are even a Video card.
EZ grabber software ask you to record in what format. I picked AVI. There is DVD - SVCD - VCD - MPG4. I want to archive then go back and edit. The DVD or SVCD format, is that not the same as mpeg 2?
You and I know the drill. Saving in what long term archive format and that dare thing about video compression and losing quality of the videos. Its all a nightmare.
Once again I am willing to buy another capture device for a VCR that will work with Adobe premiere elements 12.
Help please with long term archiving format and capture device.
Thanks

The answer is B.
Capturing the VHS content to computer (via the Diamond vc500 and USB connection and EZ grabber) to obtain an .avi file on your computer and then trying to import that into Premiere Elements with its Add Media/Files and Folders?
When I do that, the Adobe premiere elements 12 crashes or only loads a 2 mins of video.
The firewire connection device "Canopus" product sounds great. But I really don't want to spend that much on my home videos. My PC does not have a Firewire connection. So add a new card for that and the Canopus product. I could just pay someone to do my VHS tapes.
Diamond vc500 $35
Adobe premiere elements 12 $65
Firewire card $50 plus
Canopus $180
$330 is way too much for simple home VHS videos

Problem with Premiere Elements 11 uploading mp4 files

I tried to upload a video footage for editing. The video was taken using a GoPro camera and the output is mP4. The footage playback on Premiere Elements 11 was choppy and stalled often. I asked someone else with the same program and he experienced the same issue- so much so that he quit using Adobe's software and switched to Mac/iMovie. Any thought on why or how to fix the problem? I emailed Adobe support a couple of times for the problems encountered in both Premiere and Photoshop but have gotten no response from them. Thanks.

Gumbie10
Appreciated the follow up. Would like to offer some considerations....
1. If you are looking at choppy video, then you must be on the Premiere Elements 11 Expert Timeline or Quick Filmstrip in order to see the choppy video in the Edit Mode monitor. Consequently, to see the video you had to import it.
a. How did you import it? Add Media/Files and Folders to get the files into Project Assets from where you dragged the files to the Expert Timeline. (In the Quick Filmstrip route, there is no Project Assets intermediary. It is Add Media/Files and Folder/with direct to one of the scenes in the Filmstrip).
b. Once you had the files on the Expert Timeline or Quick Filmstrip, did you render the files there by hitting the Render button or by hitting the Enter key of the computer main keyboard?
2. Premiere Elements 11 automatically takes over setting up the project preset for a new project. The project preset should match the properties of the source media. Sometimes it does the set OK; sometimes, not. Check to see what the program has set if you did not set the project preset yourself manually. (Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size.)
3. If you are using the GoPro Hero 3 Black at the 1080p set, then the video codec (compression) is AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/.H264). The question becomes at what frame rate...30, 60, or other progressive frames per second. From what you wrote, apparently what you have has a .mp4 file extension (that is what is called the container, the format that wraps the video and audio compressions).
4. Then we come to the matter of your photos. What are the pixel dimensions that you are trying to use for this Premiere Elements project? Have you gotten to importing the photos or is it only the videos that you have tried to import into a Premiere Elements 11 project?
Please review the above.
But, I am also concerned about
Meantime, for still images, I did my editing on PS Element 11 and used Live Movie Maker to put together the video. It works for me. I had trouble with the output (to burn DVD/Cd and to upload to PS showcase) in the PS Element as well.
Thanks again for the input. I'll give an update later.
Do you want two separate projects, one for video and one for stills or is all that a workaround for overall issues.?
Please do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything that I have written. I will rewrite if necessary so that we are in sync.
The answers are in the details.
More later.

When i export my movie to my desktop from premiere elements 11 it fails and says "Error of export: You are not permitted to create or delete the output file."
This is the first time i had this problem.

QuickTime is a requirement for Premiere Elements (any version). Please download and install it so that we can continue this troubleshooting. Among other things, without QuickTime installed, you will not have QuickTime presets in Publish+Share and will not have available to you codecs supplied by that player.
Please right click the Premiere Elements 11 desktop icon and apply Run As Administrator. Please review computer permissions..
In the meanwhile, please reply to all the questions, including
What is the description for your export choice and does it make a difference if your Export Save In location is the desktop or to Video Folder in Documents?
What is a description of your computer resources?
Please consider and supply details need to help us help you.

How far do you get in the installation of the product? Do the problem start after you try to Sign In with your Adobe ID and Password?
Have we gone through the following list besides the uninstall/free cleaner run through/reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
2. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?.
3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
4. Have you deleted the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 13.0 Folder in which it exists?
5. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 13? Are you running the

Premiere Elements 4 does not add entire video clip

Hi,
I have Premiere Elements 4 and have been using it for years. I just captured a 15 minute movie and it will only play the first 66 seconds of the video. It shows the entire 15 minutes in the timeline, shows the file being 0.99GB, but simply goes black after 66 seconds. How do I rectify this? I have changed the "Still Image Duration" to 100000 frames just to try that and it did not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AlbinoSmurf
Thanks for the reply with additional details.
Your Premiere Elements 4 is a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of the 64 bit system, with all the computer resource limitations of 32 bit system, example
maximum installed RAM = 4 GB of which 3.2 to 3.0 GB or less of that are available. So, that is why I ask about computer operating system resources. But, you say that this is a "it worked before but not now" issue.
You have a MPEG2 file, about 1 GB and 15 minutes duration, and you are getting only 66 seconds and black video after that from it on the Premiere Elements 4 Timeline.
Please look at the computer resources and possible computer optimization.
Also, video card/graphics card driver version updating
Antivirus inteference
Can you import and work with a MPEG2 file successfully when the file size is far less than 1 GB?
Please review the above and then let us determine if any of it targets your situation.
Thank you.

Does Premiere Elements use a "rate curve" for pan/zoom?

Does Premiere Elements pan/zoom feature have a sort of accelerate/decelerate option, either user-selectable, or built in to the pan/zooms?
By accelerate/decelerate, I mean the pan/zoom will start very slowly, then over a period of just a second or two, accelerate to whatever constant speed it needs to move the user-defined distance in the user-defined time, and then at the end of the pan/zoom, decelerate over the last second or two, to a stop.
Makes the pan/zoom seem much more "human/organic"...as opposed to, "robot-like" if the pan/zoom does not gently accelerate/decelerate at the start and end.
Thanks...

If you are referring to Bezier Curves and interpolation methods, yes with regard to keyframing the Motion Scale property (for Zoom) and the Motion Position property (for Pan). The Pan and Zoom Tool keyframes can also be adjusted. Keyframing of some other properties can also be adjusted.
From Premiere Elements 13/13.1 on Windows 7 or 8.1 64 bit.
Below is an example from keyframing of the Crop property.
What version of Premiere Elements do you presently have and on what computer operating system is it running? If you do not already
have Premiere Elements 13/13.1, please evaluate the tryout before purchase to determine the compatibility of the program with your
computer environment and video editing goals.
Please let me know if I have targeted your question. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

Unable to view Premiere Elements on my second monitor (attached to my laptop)

No "playback settings" option shows up under project settings (which seems to be the way to resolve this?) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have just looked at what you described for your Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 Professional.
In my case, I used Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1 64 bit laptop.
Independent of Premiere Elements 12, the Control Panel Display offered 4 choices
1. Duplicate these displays
2. Extend these displays
3. Show desktop only on 1
4. Show desktop only on 2
There were no problems with "Duplicate these displays" except monitor 2 had full screen whereas monitor 1 did not. At this point, non adjustable.This was the case whether Premiere Elements was involved or not involved. And, I do not see this choice as worthwhile for the limited functionality of the Premiere Elements 12 Window Menu/Dual Monitor feature.You end up with each monitor showing the Timeline panel with no where to go.
Now if you select Extend these displays, this probably is more intended for the Premiere Elements Dual Monitor feature. You get both monitors, each full screen view. However, monitor 2 has only the Taskbar at the bottom of its monitor screen. For details on the Premiere Elements dual monitor feature, please refer to
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Dual Monitor Workflow Concerns
Please review and then we can discuss this further.
If the feature that you seek is not there for you in Premiere Elements 12, please remember to get your money back under the Adobe 30 day money back if you purchased the product from Adobe.
We will be watching for further developments.
Thank you.

How do I stop jerky video in timeline of premiere elements 12?

I have just purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 12 (this software is new to me but I have watched a couple of videos). My video clip is slow and jerky in the time line and yes, there is a yellow line through it and no, rendering does not help. The clip plays fine from the window. I do not want to return the software but it is no use to me the way it is. I have Windows 8 Pro, Intel pertium Dual CPO E2180 @ 2.00GHz with 3.00GB RAM, 32-bit OS, x64-based processor. I really need help.

GmaShack
I am not in a position to comment on the 64 bit processor in the 32 bit operating system. It probably is an advantage than a disadvantage, yet you still have a 32 bit operating system which is still limited by maximum supported installed RAM = 4 GB of which typically 3 GB of that are available. Is it at all possible for you to go all 64 bit, with Windows 7 or 8 64 bit operating system*? If so, you would gain a big advantage having Premiere Elements 12 as a 64 bit application running in the 64 bit operating system. But, even then you want to get the installed RAM to at least 4 to 8 GB.
But, for the here and now, check the motherboard to see how many RAM slots you have and how much it can accept in the way of RAM modules. If you stay with the 32 bit operating system, total 4 GB RAM installed. Or is that what you have now...that is...is your 3 GB RAM reported installed or available RAM? Do you have 4 GB RAM already installed?
What are the properties of our source media for your project...standard definition, standard or widescreen, or high definition 1280 x 720 or 1920 x 1080? What is the typical duration of the projects that you intend to create.
And could you clarify what you mean by
My video clip is slow and jerky in the time line and yes, there is a yellow line through it and no, rendering does not help. The clip plays fine from the window.
I would agree with Ann Bens, that your machine is underpowered for HD tasks. But, you might be able to handle short term HD projects as well as SD projects with tight control over resources, detouring scratch disks et al to an external hard drive for one aspect of the computer resources issues of available RAM and free hard drive space.
Then we should not forget the usual drill of is your video card driver up to date according to the web site of the video card manufacturer?
And, we need clarification on "The clip plays fine from the window." What window?" Where is the clip slow and jerky? Please distinquish between Edit Mode monitor, Preview Window within the program and playback of the export in a player.
And, we should rule in or out whether the project is set up correctly, that is, what project preset is being selected and does it match the properties of the source media??
Please review the above considerations. Then we can try to put the discussion exchanges into perspective to help you move forward in your Premiere Elements 12 projects.
Please do not hesitate ot ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
Thanks.

*For Premiere Elements 10, 11, or 12 to be a 64 bit application on Windows, it is written that it must be running on Windows 7 or 8 64 bit specifically. That means to me operating system, not processor. Until proven otherwise, regarding your 32 bit operating system with a 64 bit processor, that is my take on your specific situation in this regard.

Adobe Premiere Elements Won't Start A New Project?

When I open up Premiere Elements and try to start a new project, all it shows is a black and purple line, then it just stops. I have already tried updating QuickTime, Windows 7, Nvidia Drivers, and Uninstalling and then Reinstalling Premiere elements. I am running it on a PC that has an AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six Core Proccessor, 8 GB of RAM, a Nvidia G-Force GTX 650, and i installed the program on a secondary hard drive with 761 GB of free space.

xXFIRE
What is this "secondary hard drive" on which you originally installed Premiere Elements 12? Internal or external and how formatted NTSC or FAT32?
I do not see where anyone has asked about "Scratch Disks" as they relate to your issues?
Please refer to Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks...
a. Where are the scratch disks directed and how much free hard drive space is at that location?
b. Do you have all the scratch disks categories directed to the same place? If not, do so and make sure there is lots of free hard drive space where you are pointing them to.
Please look for pile ups of preview files in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder and pile ups of conformed audio in the Media Cache Folder. Both these folders by default are in Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/12.0.
Please go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and hit the Clean button in the Media Cache Database in that area.
As for the matter of where Premiere Elements program should be installed. Interesting question and some interesting answers. Back in a 2010 thread here on this type of subject, Akshat B (Adobe Staff) wrote
Yes you can install Premiere Elements on any other drive. For that you need to follow these steps:
1. Uninstall current copy of Premiere Elements.
2. Start the installer of Premiere ELements.
3. Choose a location on d:\ drive after choosing the default TV format.
Please keep in mind, even if you select d: drive as the install location some amount of data will get copied to C: drive.
