Premiere Elements 8.0 not importing media properly!

Hi,
Have had a problem trying to get to grips with Premiere Elements 8.0 - I use a HP Compaq desktop PC; Windows Vista; Intel Core2 vPro processor. I have shut down all other programs while trying to use Elements...
Have tried importing several videos (.avi, .flv, .mod, .mp4) both from files saved on the PC and straight from the camera - any video file I import either comes through with a red/green tint, or with a solid green screen instead of any of the actual footage; but in the thumbnails on the timeline the colours look fine. I havent touched any of the effects settings.
Have attached a screenshot of what it looks like straight after I import a video file -
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum.
Please take a look at this THREAD, and also the links contained. Be sure to read all the replies by Jeff Bellune.
While you are reading, please check that you have the very latest video driver.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Premiere Elements 9 PC: Major Importer Failure

    I think that I have gone down every troubleshooting road on trying to discover why "all of a sudden" Premiere Elements 9 PC will not import anything via Get Media/Files and Folders into its Organize interface as is its default behavior. The program fails at that point and shows the message "the program is not responding". Yet if you force the closure of that particular project and reopen a new one, you find that those media that failed to import into Organize in the first project now are live and well in the Organize of the new project. You can drag them from the Organize to the Timeline and use them in this new project. All other functions of Premiere Elements 9 PC appear unaffected by this import failure. AND, source media can be video (any format and size) and photos (any size). This happens even with import of the first and only file being a jpg (800 x 600 pixels).
    My history of Premiere Elements 9 PC/baddrivers.txt file/ and "incompatible driver messages" is well documented in these forums. That involved Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit and a NVIDIA display card. And, I have been moving along successfully with Premiere Elements 9 PC for several months. About two weeks ago, I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit Intel Graphics Card, and Premiere Elements has been performing great until yesterday when what I call "major importer failure" struck. The computer has about 800 GB free hard drive space and about 2.5 GB out of 4.0 GB of available RAM. All of this worked great for about two weeks and now suddenly this yesterday. Did I do anything different or unusual? I think not. I also have Premiere Elements 7 and 8 on this same new computer, and they continue to function perfectly in all respects, whereas Premiere Elements 9 does not. AND, yes I have had the Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Update installed and in use before and after the importer failure.
    Troubleshooting has included
    a. Uninstall/Reinstall from Premiere Elements 9 installation disc + uninstall/reinstall of QuickTime + Photoshop Elements 9 as well.
    b. System Restore (as well as a restore of an earlier version of the installed Premiere Elements 9.
    c. Removal of possible interferring program, such as, Nero InCD.
    d. Removal of recent Windows Updates
    e. Uninstall/reinstall of Intel driver since at one point in the failure the Edit Mode Monitor was displaying part of the Disc Menu Section while the program was in the Organize Mode.
    f. Have looked at permissions, running as Administrator, etc.
    One of the things that I will try this morning is installing Premiere Elements 9 PC on the previous system Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit to see if there is any major importer failure there at this time.
    If anyone has the time, I would appreciate any comments on a troubleshooting avenue that I may have overlooked. This appears to be another Deja Vu all over again. I hope not.
    Thanks.

    Thank you for your interest in this issue.
    I still have not pin pointed why my Premiere Elements 9 works great EXCEPT it will not import media into the Organize with Get Media/Files and Folders and attempts to do that drive the program into unresponsiveness and extreme difficult closure, even with the Task Manager.
    Yes, I have already looked at the workaround that you suggested for moving forward in my Premiere Elements 9 PC project, that is, entering all my source media into the Elements Organizer (can do from Photoshop Elements side) so that the source media thumbnail will be in the Premiere Elements Organize "ahead of time", and I will not have to depend upon Get Media/Files and Folders to get that job done.
    But, until I hit the key to this, I think I have an almost perfect better way. My computer is now Windows 7 Professional 64 bit that comes with the Windows XP Mode. Essentially what you have in this mode is a virtual Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit machine (best I can determine, Microsoft Generic Card). I can install Premiere Elements 9 (same serial number as on the Windows 7), and IT WORKS, no problem with the Get Media/Files and Folders. The one glitch in this perfect solution is setting up to burn to DVD. The Windows 7 Windows XP Mode Virtual Machine will not recognize installed internal DVD/CD drives when you go to write a DVD. The explanation is that the optical drive in XP Mode is a virtual device - read only. I have confirmed this. In order to use Premiere Elements 9 PC burn to disc in this Windows XP Mode , my answer here appears to be plugging in an external DVD burner USB and then using the USB Attach of the Windows XP Mode.
    When Premiere Elements 9 PC was released, I was forced into much troubleshooting of the display issues which are very widely documented here. But then I was using "a real" Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit" with a NVIDIA card. In the trial version, the BadDrivers.txt and VideoRenderer.dll got me through that episode. For me, the purchased version "essentially" was not afflicted with these same problems, and it has been running great. Now when I go to a new computer system for better performance/greater computer resources (by the way, Intel HD Graphics card), Premiere Elements 9 runs great for two weeks and then this no Get Media/Files and Folders matter sets in accompanied by program going completely knocked out by the event. In all of this, old or new, I have Premiere Elements 7, 8, and 9 installed on the same computer. While Premiere Elements 9 is being hit with these issues, Premiere Elements 7 and 8 are not , same computer environment, same source media, same project preset, et al. For me, the Premiere Elements 9.0.1 has not hit the mark.
    I have done extensive troubleshooting of the this current matter, too long and involved to go into now. I am preparing a full detailed description of the issue and the troubleshooting that went into the search for a fix. I will be posting it at the forum that I frequent. When I post it there, I will supply a link to it for whomever is interested. I have filed a bug report with Adobe on this matter in abridged format as per the space provided in its bug report online form.
    Thanks again for posting.

  • Premiere Elements 13 has stopped importing MOV. files. Quicktime is installed and working

    Premiere Elements 13 has stopped importing MOV. files. Quicktime is installed and working.

    Nowconfused
    I tried to get background information on the video from your camera but all I could find so far is that the camera is probably recording
    1080p (1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 or 30 progressive frames per second. What are you (manually) or the program (automatically) setting as the project
    preset to match the properties of your video source. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out.
    How are you importing the files into the Premiere Elements 13 project - with the Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from a computer
    hard drive location or are you making a USB connection between the camera and computer/Premiere Elements 13 and using Add Media/Video ..../Video Importer? Could you possibly have changed the way you are importing the files into a project?
    Would it be possible for you to send a small sample of one of these .mov files that will no longer import? Maybe in a Dropbox link that you include in a reply?
    Do you have any of the older files still available - the ones that did import at one time? If so, will they still import into a project or do they now not import?
    More later.
    Thanks for the follow ups.

    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates?
    If not, please do so.
    You have not given us enough information with which to help you.
    What are the properties of your source file that is presenting in the project with audio but no video?
    Quickest way to gain that information is from brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video.
    I am looking for
    video compression
    audio compression
    frame size
    frame rate
    interlaced or progressive
    file extension
    pixel aspect ratio
    What does the file's thumbnail look like in Project Assets after it is imported....thumbnail with no image (gray), thumbnail with only an audio icon
    within it, or other? On the Timeline, what do you see represented in Video 1....nothing as opposed to Audio 1 where you see the audio portion of
    the file?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 13/13.1? Are you running the programs as
    administrator?
    Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?

  • Premiere elements 11- PitchShifter not working?

    Pitch shifter in Premiere elements 11 is not working as good as it was in Premiere elements 7. Here's some of my issues:
    When I change the pitch, the end of the audio is cut off/out of sync
    When a clip is short, the audio won't play if it has the pitch shifter effect
    When I split a clip with pitch shifter applied, the audio skips
    I would like it if the pitchshifter would be more like the one that was in premiere elements 7.

  • Adobe premiere elements 12 will not open keeps crashing

    I am on a mac using osX 10.8.5 and my program will not open. It just keeps crashing. i have tried shutting down my computer several times but it will not work. The Organizer seems to to work but not the Video editor and it shuts down when i click "new project" any ideas anyone?
    i'm on version 12

    Hi Jacquima,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    It seems like Premiere Elements 12 is not activated properly.
    Please open the finder window and click on go and choose computer.
    Navigate to the below path then
    MacHD>Library>Application support>Adobe
    Rename the files SLstore and Slcache to Slstore.old and Slcache.old respectively.
    Launch Premiere elements 12 again it will prompt you to enter your Adobe id and password and then the serial number.
    By following the above steps you will have to reactivate your Adobe products. Make sure you have no other Adobe product.
    If you have any other adobe product installed make sure you have the serial number for that.
    Thanks

  • Premiere Elements V4 does Not Support Matrox Parhelia 128mb Vid Crd - What video card should I get?

    Premiere Elements V4 does not support Matrox Parhelia 128bm Video Card.  Is there a recommended card that will work?
    I have an Asus P2B Mother Board.  Many thanks for any feedback.

    Welcome to the forum.
    About any current card, with good driver support, should work fine. The amount of VRAM is not that important, but I would go with ~ 1GB. The driver support is the main factor.
    I am running PrE 4.0 and PrPro CS 2 Production Studio on my laptop w/ an nVidia GeForce 8800M GTX - 512GB VRAM, with no issues. That card/chip is a bit old now, and obviously the VRAM is less, than I mentioned, but to "future-proof" the computer a bit, the ~ 1GB VRAM would possibly help.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere Elements 11 will not open Projects

    I had to rebuild my Win 7 PC. Now Premiere Elements 11 will not open Projects saying that the file types are not supported. It will not open raw DV files either.

    Henry Clayton
    Along with Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 (presumed 64 bit), do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed? Are you running Premiere Elements 11 as Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    Can you open a new project?
    When you rebuilt your Window 7, did the source media that went into the existing projects remain in the same save locations with the same file names as before the rebuild?
    How are you opening these project.prel files that I am understanding that you created in version 11 before the Windows 7 rebuild?
    What is the nature of these "raw DV files" to which you refer? Are these DV AVI standard or widescreen files from a capture firewire into the Premiere Elements Capture Window?
    Let us start here and then we can decide what next.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Pro CC crashes when importing media.

    Premiere Pro CC crashes when importing media. Every time. Driving me crazy.
    It crashes as soon as the Windows dialogue box comes up.
    Does it in new projects and in a project I created and imported into just fine 2 days ago.
    Have rebooted.
    Running Windows 8.1 on Samsung Series 5 ultrabook Intel i5 - not too sure what else to say about other settings:
    I did have a problem the other day when Windows was crashing when browing a large folder of largish  images and video clips but it went away when I put images and videos in separate folders.

    Thanks for reply.
    Point taken but I've been using it for over a year for simple edits (5 min films) in PPCC just fine. Can't even do what I could do the other night now.
    Simple folder with a few jpegs and movies in it. In fact it just crashes before I even got to another folder.

  • Premiere Element 12 does not recognize AVI movies.

    Premiere Element 12 does not recognize AVI movies created with Casio Exilim EX-FH100 camera.
    The operating system (Win 7 and Windows Media Player) recognizes these files without problems.
    While trying to load an AVI movie in Premiere appears this inscription: This file type is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.
    How can I fix the problem?
    Thank you.

    Thanks to your advice I solved the problem.
    I installed the codec Morgan M-JPG from an existing link (http://morgan-multimedia-mjpeg-codec.en.lo4d.com/download) different from what I have proposed, this link was continually blocked by my anti-virus.
    After restarting Prenmiere Elements 12 (without reboot) AVI movies of my Casio have been read.
    The operating system of my PC is Windows 7.

  • Adobe premiere Elements 12 will not open editor

    I had Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on my laptop and worked fine. Decided to upgrade to Elements 12 and did but version 12 will not open editor, says sign in, I sign in but no editor. Organizer opens and loaded my Photos and videos. I purchased full retail version for download. My laptop runs windows 8.1 and has an Intel Core i5 dual core processor and 4GB ram.

    Have you gone to Computer/Manager/Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Applications and looked for error entries that appear to be associated with this problem?
    Did you purchase Photoshop Elements 12 as well as Premiere Elements 12, and does Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor open whereas Premiere Elements 12 will not open to its Expert or Quick workspaces?
    You have probably tried it, but can you open to the Premiere Elements workspaces from the Elements Organizer workspace?

    Hello,
    I tried to start up the program and it won't start. Previously, I would have the problem of my software not starting when I clicked on the icon. I found a way to get around that, but now it isn't starting at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program and nothing has changed. All I get now is a pop-up box that says  that the program has stopped working. I really don't know what to do!

    You realize that you are not using Premiere Elements 12/12.1 optimally on Windows Vista be it 32 or 64 bit. You still have a Premiere Elements 12/12.1 32 bit application which has computer resource issues when trying to get a larger project taken to completion successfully. With the 32 bit system, the maximum supported installed RAM = 4 GB, typically with 3.2 to 3.0 GB or less of that available. And, you appear to have only 3 GB RAM to start with.
    It sounds like it may have worked before from what you wrote. How long ago did it work? And, what was your last activity in a project before you could no longer get the program to open. Are working with a home computer or is this computer part of a company network?  In your present computer environment moving to Premiere Elements 13 is not a choice since Premiere Elements 13 does not support Windows Vista 32 or 64 bit.
    You could go through the usual drill
    a. Latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 12/12.1?
    b. Running program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    c. Video card/graphics card up to date according to web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    d. Does problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    e. Where do you have the Scratch Disks directed and how much free hard drive space is at that location?
    f. Did you install the program to the default location on the Local Disk C?
    What was your way of getting the program to work previously when problems developed?
    Let us consider the above and then we can decide what next.
    Thank you.
