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.

You might want to reconsider due to version 13 coming out a few weeks ago. MAybe you can change the purchase and exchange for version 13. In the meantime you could install the trial version and use those for 30 days while waiting for a serial number to appear.

What to do??

If you are running Premiere Elements 4 on a Windows 7 computer -- particularly if it is Windows 7 64-bit -- that could be at the root of your problem. The program was designed to run on Windows XP or Vista and may not be completely stable on Windows 7 64 bit.
You also don't say what model of camcorder your video is coming from, but that could be significant. Unless your camcorder is a true AVCHD camcorder, Premiere Elements 4 is not designed to work with this video.
Even in version 9, Premiere Elements is not able to work with a number of pocket camcorders (like the Kodak), with the exception of the Flip cam, for which the program has specifically been loaded with the 3ivx codec.
Also, have you ensured you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's instructions?
All of these things may be contributing to your problems.

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 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.

What can be done to correct slow video or freezing in Adobe Premiere Elements 12? Sound plays fine but the video is too slow to even start a project.

Sound plays fine but the video is too slow to even start a project.

film78
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.
Thank you.

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.

Elements 11 - unable to switch editing modes after installing

Hi, I have just installed Photoshop Elements 11 on a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and I am unable to switch editing modes (quick / guided / expert). In fact, none of the buttons on the top bar responds to my clicks. In addition, I am unable to quit the programme, instead, I have to force quit it each time.

Thanks for the replies. I was able to sort this myself after I watched the the following video on how to reset the Adobe preferences: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-reset-photoshop- cs6s-preferences-file/ I did the manual reset where I moved only the preference file to another location e.g. the Desktop. I restarted my computer. Closed Bridge CS5 that was running in the background and then clicked on Bridge CS6 and the program opened. I decided to take a chance to see if this won't fix it and was elated when it worked. Don't ask my why, but it did the job!

Premiere Elements not allowing me to edit photos. I am not interested in videos. Also not opening photos from other sources. Windows 8 computer

I have many photos in my files and computers; most of them are visible in Premiere elements Organizer, but I can't edit them or pull out individual ones. Often cannot open a photos that comes in an email. I don't use videos; I just want to edit my photos.
Did I buy the wrong program?

Hi
Premiere Elements is a video editor not a photo editor. This is why you cannot edit your photos.
The organiser is for both Photoshop (photographic editor) and Premiere (video editor) elements. This is for managing your photo and video library.
I hope this helps.

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?

yeppeyump
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.

Timeline won't render in Premiere Elements 12 (and music video editing advice)

I have a section of video I'm editing that won't render. I've read some similar threads but still have a question about how I can edit the clips to 'force' a render.
I'm running PE 12 on a Core i3 laptop running Windows 8, so not a huge amount of processing power. I don't have an orange line above the timeline over these clips and I understand PE has decided that it's already giving me the best possible preview quality and doesn't need to render this section. However, it's four quick edits in time to some music and when I preview it back my computer clearly can't process the video and audio fast enough because I get very jerky video so I can't verify that the cuts are perfectly aligned to the drum beats.
I've been exporting the whole four minutes just to review about five seconds of video in the middle to make sure it's synched, and this is getting really frustrating as I'm having to make frame by frame adjustments to improve the sync.
Is there anything I can do to each clip, like adjust an image setting, to force PE to give me an orange line and want to render this section?
Just as an aside to anyone who edits music video type clips - if you're making, say, four quick cuts to four drum beats in a bar, do you find the audio/visual sync works best if the cut is on the frame the drum beat attack starts on, or does it seem more natural if it's one or two frames after the initial attack so it's 'mid drum beat'? I'm tending to find just after the initial attack looks/sounds better for me - but maybe that's something to do with the delay in my PC processing the frame!
Thanks for any advice,
Chris.

Chris
Please excuse the questions, but I did not want to take anything for granted...are you sure that you are looking above the Timeline content for the render indicator line? Assuming that you are OK with that.....
Are the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar placed so that they span the entire content of the Timeline, including this five second content which you say cannot be rendered. Remember rendering does not fix problems, rather it is a preview that helps you to realize that a problem exists sooner than later. Consequently, please confirm if an orange line persists over that five second content even if you press the Render key above the Timeline.
Have you expanded the Timeline content to the maximum with the Zoom Out Zoom In Slider above the Timeline get the best look at the content on the Timeline in contrast to get the best possible preview in the Edit area monitor?
Have you gone to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and set the Audio Display Format to Milliseconds if you are involved in audio edits?
Have you been nudging audio in sync with video using shortcuts, such as...
As you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once (one tap = 1 frame nudge)
As you hold down the Shift+Alt keys of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once (one tap = 5 frames nudge)
I would suggest that exploration and experimentation are the best tools with which to work to achieve a specific effect for your specific
situation.
Please review and then let us know if any of the above targets your questions about your workflow.

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."
Good luck,

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,
Hunt
