Premiere Elements 7 Crashing on Share DVD every time on Vista 32

I am running Premiere Elements 7 on Vista Home Premium 32 bit. The machinse is up to specs, quad core, 3GB RAM, Ge Force 9500GT etc. I'm in the US using NTSC. Drive C; has 127GB free and E:, also internal, has 73GB free. Both get defragged and they get cleaned with CCleaner etc.
I had not used PE7 in a while and I shot video of a birthday party at a go kart track on Canon HV-20. I imported the video, edited it, added quicktracks music and exported the result as DVD going to folder 4.7GB as per Appendix of Muvipix Guide. [note no crash when I did this] I then burned that TS_Video folder to a DVD but it didn't play on DVD player. So I came back to PE7 to try writing an actual DVD directly.
Whenever I click Share > DVD now I get an immediate crash of the program. Windows provides this info in that error box:

I had to go Task Managaer > Processes and end the APE7 process before I could launch the program again....but the I tried another project entirely, an older one that was shot on a Sony DV Cam and it caused the same crash.
I cleaned the temp files and registry, restarted....same thing. So I went to this document:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404998.html#Before
...and started working through troubleshooting steps. I did this so far:
1. Make sure that the system meets the minimum requirements for Adobe Premiere Elements 7
check
2. Install the latest version of Premiere Elements.
checked, no updates available
3. Install current Windows service packs and other updates.
check, every single one is installed on this system. I run CS4 with PSCS4 Extended and Lightroom 2.5 all the time here.
4. Re-create the Premiere Elements PluginCache.
This I could not do. Holding Shift on starting APE7 had no effect. It just brings me to the Phosotshop Online signing screen on the elft with Open or Instant Movie on right etc.
5. Re-create the Premiere Elements preferences folders.
Could not find them at that location. Will come back to that as I have done complete reinstall of APE7 and deleted evrything I could find at that time.
6. Disconnect IEEE 1394 devices.
check, not a startup problem anyway
7. Troubleshoot third-party plug-ins.
Have not installed any
8. Run Premiere Elements in a new user account.
check, crashes same way
9. Run Premiere Elements while no other applications run in the background.
check, very limited set of apps running
10. Update the video card driver.
check, latest Nvidia GeFroce9500GT driver installed, also tried previous version, no effect
11. Verify that other device drivers are compatible with Windows.
check, devices were made for an work fine in Vista32
12. Troubleshoot QuickTime.
check (**PARTLY!**)...I have the latest QT Pro 7.6.4 and latest iTunes installed and working fine.
HOWEVER, I do have an issue in PSCS4 where I am not able to open QT Movies in Photoshop. The only response from Adobe's support ticket has been I should upgarde to QuickTime 7.1 or later...Duh, I have 7.6.4 and had said that in ticket. May be this is related?? May be it's a CODEC issue? I do have alot of CODECs on the machine that were set up by Zoomplayer's install center ioncluding latest DiVX etc.....but that should be OK I would think???
13. Check for codec problems.
See #12 above...do I disable every CODEC?? Not sure where to with that....?????
I did read this..."..If you are not certain which codecs should remain on your system, contact Adobe Technical Support for additional help.
To temporarily disable a video or audio codec, see "Temporarily disable a codec (Windows Vista)" (TechNote kb404892) for details....."
14. Identify the file that causes the problem.
Check, any do. Have a number of Elements projects, each of them causes the problem. Even creating a new project with two scenes in timeline and choosing Share > DVD will crash it now.
15. Remove and Reinstall Premiere Elements.
Check- ran uninstall, dleted all APE7 and APE4 folders I could find and ran CCleaner on temp files and regsitry.
RE-downloaded APE7 from Adobe Store and after a reboot installed it. Rebooted. Boom same crash.
16. Check for font problems.
Uh, I have only added three fonts to what's in the system...any others were installed by Adobe CS4 Design Premium...didn't spend any time on this.
17. Set the virtual memory paging file to the default size.
Have not tried this.
18. Optimize handling of temporary files by Windows
check
19. Repair and defragment hard disks.
check, do that regularly. Most of my content lives on a 4TB Drobo anyway, but all the APE7 edits have been with fast internal drive that is not fragmented and has lots of room. All scratch disks are set to E: internal SATA 7200 drive...Vista is on C:
20. Scan the system for viruses.
Absolutely clean. Running Norton360 and have run exhaustive checks and scans with help from the Tweaks guys including ESET online scanner- Absolutely clean of malware, spyware, trojans, viruses, rootkits or even tracking cookies!
21. Visit the Adobe User to User Forums.
Tada! Here I am.
22. Reinstall your capture card software.
No cpature problems....it's built in FW13945 on my HP Media Center m8120N and has always worked fine.
23. Contact Adobe Technical Support.
Awww man.....really?
Other stuff I have done and summary:
## I've read Steve say these kinds of problems are often Audio Driver problems. I have now installed latest Audio drivers from Realtek HD and Haupagge...latest are there and they work fine. Still crash.
## I've flashed both of my DVD writers drives, which are SATA, to latest Firmware and verified them.
Final note, I CAN share a file and choose to upload it to YouTube which is what I did with the Birthday video.
I have tried rendering the whole timeline before clicki9ng on Share > DVD still immediate crash. I *WAS* able to go there when I first edited this rememebr and I saved the DVD to a 4.7GB folder.
Thanks for any help!

After installing recent nvidia drivers you should then uninstall the nvidia stereoscopic 3D driver from Control Panel> Uninstall a Program. This has a known conflict with APE.

Premiere elements crashes when burning a DVD

I'm trying to burn a slide show I've created. It's a mixture of photoshop elements photo slideshow and edited videos, about 30 minutes long.
But every time I try and burn it to DVD, premiere elements crashes. It generally gets to about 30% through the encoding media stage.
Has anyone else come across this problem? I thought it might be related to virtual memory, but I've increased this, and it's not had an effect. I'm running it on a laptop with 4Gb RAM, so RAM shouldn't hopefully be a problem.
When trying to burn, i've also tried to reduce the quality so instead of using "Fit contents to available space" I've reduced the bit rate down to 5Mbps so the space required is just over 1.2Gb (it was originally about 2Gb).
Has anyone any suggestions as to how to resolve / diagnose this problem.
I've burnt several DVDs before without any problems, although they were mainly just photos
Thanks in advance

The easiest way to do this is with Photoshop (PS). I'm certain that PSElements can do it well also, but do not know what might be different. This is for Photoshop.
Place copies of your files into a folder. I use copies because I do not want anything to happen to my originals and play it extra safe. Add a sub-folder. I name mine something like "Final_PSD's,) etc. In PS, I have a series of Actions, to re-size to my common video formats. They are named things like, NTSC_Wide, NTSC_4-3, etc. The Action is set to Open the files, then change the size to the appropriate dimensions and assign the correct PAR for that Project, such as my NTSC_4-3 gets a PAR of 0.9. The Action then does a Save_As. I keep .PSD's as .PSD's, but JPEG would work well too.
In PS, I go to File>Automate>Batch Process. This brings up a dialog screen, where I choose the Action that I want to run, NTSC-4-3 in this case. I direct the program to the Source Folder and the appropriate Destination Folder, my "Final_PSD's" in this case. If I have the sub-folder targeted for the Destination Folder, I leave the file naming conventions the same. I check Bypass Open command, as I do not need to see the work being done. Check over everything. Hit OK, and in a few minutes, I can re-size hundreds of files. Time will depend on one's system, and also on the size of the Target Files.
I feel that there WILL be differences in PSE, but someone else will have to fill in that info. It has also been pointed out that the freeware image processor and cataloging program Irfanview cand do batch re-sizing quite well. This might be an option. I do not use it for such, so I cannot comment.
Good luck,

Adobe Reader keeps crashing on my iPad every time i am highlighting the text

Adobe Reader keeps crashing on my iPad every time i am highlighting the text. Didnt have this problem before. Please help.

Premiere Pro & Premiere Elements Crash When Open Together?

Anyone have a problem with Premiere Pro & Premiere Elements crashing when open together?
I have PE10 and am doing a trial of Premiere Pro CS6.
Both crash fairly quickly when open together.
i7 2600K
Windows 7 64 Bit
16GB RAM
GTX 470
Corsair AT 850 Watt PSU
Thanks!

The first thiing that comes to my mind is a resources issue. As you have a stout computer, with more than adequate RAM, unless something is failing (like a stick of RAM), or perhaps the GPU, I would not expect to see what you observe. On a much less powerful machine, I have no problem running PrPro, Encore, Photoshop, Illustrator, and a word processor, all at the same time.
I would look into this ARTICLE, which starts with some general tips on setting up one's computer for running PrE, and then goes into system and OS tune-up tips (this is probably where I would start, if the intitial checklist looks OK), and then goes into troubleshooting. I would definitely look here, and especially using Event Viewer to try and track down what is happening, when the crashes occur, and also the one on tools to test RAM, GPU's, etc.).
Good luck,
Hunt

Safari crashes and shuts down every time I visit Grays Online. Anyone else with this problem?

Safari crashes and shuts down every time I visit Grays Online. Site usually flicks off in under a minute. Anyone else with this problem?

The website may need more memory than you have available if you are running iOS 5.1.1 on the original iPad. Try some basic troubleshooting steps. Maybe quitting all apps might be the best thing to try.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit ALL apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Premiere Pro CC quits on open every time - Mavericks?

Hi,
Since updating to Maverikcs Premiere Pro CC unexpecdedly quits instantly, every time I open it. I've been forced to install CS6 again which runs okay, but I need to open a few projects that we're saved as newer CC files.
I have tried re-installing, restarting etc... I know I made a rookie error updgrading to Mavericks before it had been tested but does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks very much!

Premiere Elements 13 problem with DVD menu templates

I recently purchased Premiere Elements 13 for my iMac. It crashes every time I attempt to add a DVD menu template to my project. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

I just uninstalled and then re-installed Premiere Elements. When I opened the program, I clicked on Movie Menus from the Tools menu. There were blue bands on the menu thumbnails and I right-clicked on one and selected "download all." P.E. let me know that the files would need 2.5 GB of space and I told it to go ahead and download the files. The download was going fine and it downloaded all 2.5 GB of data. I could see the blue bands disappear from the thumbnails as the download progressed. When the downloading process was over the progress window disappeared. I saw the rainbow colored pinwheel spin around for several seconds and then the program crashed. The next thing I saw was a "Crash Report" with several lines of "computerese" and the message that it would be sent to Apple. I clicked OK and in a second or two a window from Adobe appeared asking me if I wanted to restart the program and send the crash report to Adobe. There was also an option for me to ask Adobe to send me feedback or tips for a workaround or solution to the problem and what came back was the message that Adobe had no workaround or solution to my problem. For each of the previous times the program crashed, I have seen all of these windows that I just described.
One other thing: when I re-opened Premiere Elements after the crash, I looked at the movie menu thumbnails and the blue bands were not there any more. So it seems as though Premiere Elements "thinks" they have been downloaded. If so, where are they and how do I use them? And how do I prevent the program from crashing?
Feel free to ask me any questions you want to, especially if they will help solve this problem. One reason I bought this program is that I want to make DVDs with menus and chapter selection buttons. I have been using iDVD, but Apple no longer supports it, and it does have a few bugs I have had to work around. I also have DVD Studio Pro, which came with Final Cut Studio a few years ago (before Final Cut Pro X) but it is not very user friendly. I also have Final Cut Pro X, which has the option of authoring DVDs, but doesn't have the DVD menu template options that are in iDVD and DVD Studio Pro.
Thanks for your attention and help.

Adobe Premiere Elements crashes on export

Hello,
I am working on a video project in Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0. My computer is a Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Dell XPS M1530 laptop with the following hardware:
Toshiba MK3263GSX Disk Drive
285 GB, 149 GB used
burst transfer rate: 3 MBps
5400 RPM
8 MB cache
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T8300
2.40 GHz
4.00 GB of RAM
Whenever I try to export my project (which is less than 3 minutes long and contains no more than 2.25 GB of 720p 30fps video), the program crashes. Usually, the progress bar will go about half way before an Adobe message tells me that Premiere is running low on system memory. Not long after that, a Windows message appears telling me that "Adobe Premiere Elements has stopped working" and it crashes to the desktop. This has occured without fail perhaps 50 times in all my tries to get this to save.
As this project has progressed and become larger and larger, it has become more and more difficult to export. At first, there were no problems. Then, I had to start restarting the program or my computer immediately before exporting. After making a few more changes and additions, I have been entirely unable to export succesfully.
I have set my export settings at far lower levels than would be acceptable for this project, but the program still crashes. I was most recently trying to save the file as an .mpg with the NSTC Widescreen DVD settings. Trying to save in other file formats and at other settings has not been succesful.
I do realize that this is probably a commonly asked question, so I apoligize for bringing it up again. I have searched for information on this topic and have tried several suggestions, including changing the virtual memory and cleaning up my hard drive.
Is my computer just too weak to export this project? Would a more recent program fix my problem? Are there any techniques or suggestions I should try?
Thank you very much for your help.

Premiere Elements crashing upon start up

I have transferred my application of Premiere Elements 11 to my new iMac OS 10.9.2 but it will not open up. It starts the process but then it crashes every time. What can I try?

islantweet
Lots of just in case questions...
a. When your older iMac fried, did it trap your Premiere Elements 11 in it so that you could not deactivate it and uninstall it? Adobe allows for the same purchased serial number to be on no more of two of your computers. If this is the case, Adobe should be able to help you clear your account so that you do not have an activated program trapped on an unusable computer. If this applies to you, contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat on the topic of "Serial Numbers Issues or Activating My Product". Click on the following link and, when it opens, click on "Still Need Help? Contact Us." to bring up the Adobe Chat to work on the topic.
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=premiere-elements&topic=serial-number-issues-o r-activating-my-product
b. Why are do describing these transfer paths for the Premiere Elements 11 Mac installation on the new computer? Did you purchase Premiere Elements 11 in boxed packaging so that you have a Mac installation disc or did you purchase Mac installation files from a download from Amazon? If you have a purchased serial number for Premiere Elements 11 Mac, you can install from tryout files from the following web site and then insert your purchased serial number in them.
The key to success for this route is to read very carefully the "Note: Very Important Instructions" on that web page so that you do not receive an Access Denied message.

Premiere Elements 11 burning a DVD resolution issue

Why is it when I take an Elements 11 slide show wmv file and burn it to a DVD, using the maximum resolution and selecting the NTSC widescreen Dolby DVD option, the resolution degrades?

TysenM
Thanks for the follow up.
What are these fixes for both Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 to which you refer? Just curious about that.
Let us back up a little.
What are the pixel dimensions of your photos and how many of them do you have in this presentation? For now I am assuming that you dealing with photos that have pixel dimension equal of greater than 1920 x 1080. Please let us know if that is not the case.
I would like you to take a few as is and import them into a Premiere Elements 11 project with the project preset that you set manually.
a. File Menu/New/Project
b. In the new project dialog, set for NTSC/DSLR/1080p/DSLR 1080p30. Be sure to place a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Settings on this Project" before you exit the new project dialog.
c. Then back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders/ to get some of those photos into Project Assets and from there to the Timeline.
d. If an orange line exists over the Timeline content, then render that Timeline content by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard.
See what that looks like at playback in the Edit Mode monitor?
Are you making your comparisons based on what you see in the monitor or are you actually taking the Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc (Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc). From what you wrote, it sounds like you are. What are you using for viewing?
Here I would ask this question...just before you would hit Burn in the burn dialog, what does the Quality Area in the burn dialog show for Space Required and Bitrate?
Thanks.

Premiere Elements crashes after 2 min. what's going on?

I've been working with Premiere Elements about a month now. Initially it was very slow so I upgraded my memory and used Adobe's advice for optimal playback. That seemed to clear things up. However in the past couple days it will crash after about 2 minutes of being open. It never fails. Sometimes it will give me an error message and other times it will just freeze.
This is the error I'll sometimes get:
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I haven't found any errors today, even though it has crashed several times, but I did find this error from last Friday (when all this crashing started happening):
These are the codecs for my file:
Here's the screenshot of my project:
Once I open that project, it has crashed within two minutes of it being open, even if I don't do anything. I don't have any special effects besides the titles. All I've been doing with this project is rearrange files within the timeline. So far I haven't had problems with other projects or files, but my other projects are under 1 minute and I have spent the majority of my time on this project and file.
What happens is the program sometimes just freezes (and I've let it sit to see if it would unfreeze itself, that works only about half the time). Other times it just shuts itself down with no error message. I've also received these two errors:
If I get the "Project Save Error" and I try to save it somewhere else, it still gives me the same error. The only way I can get out of that error is to shut down the program without saving.
This is what I've done so far:
Installed Windows updates (all critical updates installed except for Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 3)
Updated QuickTime
Cleaned up start-up programs
Turned off indexing
Deleted temporary files
Ran system virus scans
Defragmented my C:\ drive
Set priority level for Premiere Elements to AboveNormal.
I save all of my files directly onto my computer (not the network drives)
Any other suggestions?

Premiere Elements crashes my PC

After many years of using Premiere Elements, a new problem - Premiere crashes my PC. I've renedered my project, no problem. Then, during the 'burn' process, part-way through its assembling all the fragments prior to actually burning, the PC dies - every bit as effective as switching off the mains supply. Just a switched-off PC. Has anyone any ideas? [I'm Windows XP SP3, Premiere Elements 3]

Well, my PC man down the road gave the PC a good clean, re-
seated the boards, removed a bit of felt that was covering one of the fans
, and put in an extra 2 Gig of memory.
Now it goes from encoding through to burning and out the other end with no problem.
So, I guess it was probably hardware overheating?
Thank you all for your very rapid and useful posts - and the links to the articles.
Many thanks

Premiere elements 11 = graver un DVD

It says you have the newest version because there is a major difference between updates and upgrades.
An update is a free, often minor change to software you currently have. An upgrade frequently is not free and is a more major change to software you have.
OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard from roughly 2010, has been updated as much as possible, so you are being told. But since Snow Leopard, Lion was released in 2011, Mountain Lion in 2012, and Mavericks in 2013. The current OS X version is 10.9.1.
I don't recall if Snow Leopard has the App Store as an application. If it does, you can purchase a newer version of the OS X operating system from there. I believe you could go directly to OS X Mavericks (which should be free) from here:
