Premiere Elements 8 goes into some kind of hibernate status while opening

Hi!
When I open an old project Premiere Elements 8 first complains about missing preview files so i skip those. Then when it open ups "for real" it just goes into a kind of hibernated status. I cannot reach it an start working.
I have seen this before and then I have gone back to an older version. But it doesn´t help this time.
What should I do? I need to export that project to a high resolution version this weekend.
Ps. I find it very hard to run this forum since you have changed the design. I have tried to search but use probably wrong words. Please help!

Hello, brittabettina. Premiere Elements has its own forum, and most of the PRE gurus hang out there:

You'll probably find better help there than here. Good luck!

Can playlists be organized into some kind of hierarchy?

I sync three ipods to one PC/iTunes installation and make heavy use of playlists geared towards each person. To distiguish them, I prefix each playlist name with the initials of the person whose iPod syncs to it. This technique, while well organized, leaves me with a LOT of playlists to scroll through.
In iTunes, is there a way to group playlists into some kind of hierarchy...like a folder analogy so I don't have to see and scroll through so many?
Is it possible to create sub-playlists?

Simply create a folder for each persons playlists.
File -> New folder.
Name it something useful (Fronzman's playlists) then drag the relevant playlists into the folder.

Error Importing Premiere Elements project into Premiere Pro CS5

Hi,
I am working on a multi-part video project that I started in Premiere Elements 8. I put in hours upon hours of editing on the first part and I found that the more I edited, the more often the program would crash (infuriating!). So I started using Premiere Pro CS5 to produce the second part, resolving to come back to the first part later. Well, I've come back around to needing this first part done, and it is just undoable in Elements (crashes every 20 seconds!). I'd like to import that project into CS5 if possible. The help documentation says this should be perfectly possible... but I'm having no luck.
When I attempt to open my Premiere Elements project in Premiere Pro, it tells me the project must be converted from Elements .prel to Pro .prproj, and I click through the prompts as normal. But then as soon as it starts trying to open the project, I get this:
"The Project could not be loaded. It may be damaged or contain outdated elements."
I downloaded the Premiere Elements 9 trial to see if it would be less crashy (and it is), but I'd really prefer to have all my video in one program, and CS5 does the best job (and has most of my hours invested). Elements 9 opens the "damaged" project just fine and I can edit and export normally, so why can't CS5?
Am I stuck recreating the project from the ground up in CS5?

In very general terms, a contemporary PrE Project (PREL), will Open in PrPro, with the steps that you outlined.
Now, there are all sorts of considerations, for aspects that will not likely work:
Instant Movie/Themes, as PrPro cannot read those
Some Effects that PrPro does not have, like the NewBlue FX
Some Transitions that PrPro does not have
Some Title animation Presets, that PrPro does not have
Do you have any of the above in your PrE Project? There are probably other circumstances, but those are all that come immediately to my mind.
The simpler the PrE Project, the greater the likelyhood that it will Convert to a PrPro PRPROJ file.
PrE 8 and PrPro CS5 should be close enough to work, again in those general terms. I can Open simple PrE 4.0 Projects in PrPro 2.0, but cannot Open PrE 7, 8 or 9 Projects in PrPro 2.0.
Good luck,

Transferring a project from Adobe Premiere Elements 10 into FCP

Hey everyone,
I'm an FCP editor, and I have just come on board a project that has thus far been cut on Adobe Premiere Elements 10. I want to export the EDL of the project and import it into FCP, but this Premiere programme is unusual because it doesn't have an "export" fuction. It has "share".
I'm trying to figure out how to go about exporting the EDL and then tell the (not tech savvy) director this remotely so he can email it to me
Does anyone know how to do it?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, PrE does not offer EDL, or OMF Export, as Premiere Pro does.
Steve's suggestion to Export/Share the Timeline, for Import into FCP is the closest that one can get.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro goes into "nonresponding" status for everything

PPro has always worked without much problem. My usual editing is one track of SD or HD. I now have three tracks of HD video with an additional audio track and the program goes into "non-responding" status after a few clicks. Just making an audio track active will send it to NonResp status. After a minute or so the track becomes active. Each command goes into "non-resp" status. Spec below
I7 920
P6t ASUS
12 Gig
GTX 460 (newly installed)
PPro CS 5.0.3
7200 RPM HD's no raid
Note: the tracks are a mix Video 1 & 2: AVCHD and Video 3: CAM

Additional info:
I've opened a new project imported the same clips on an HD timeline. I opened Windows Task Manager and all 8 cores(cpu usage) are active as I play each track as it is brought in, however, there is usually a momentary delay for each command. Tapping the space bar and the timeline begins to play, BUT only after a 5 or 10 seconds. All 8 cores are at 100%. When I tap the space bar to stop, there is a delay of up to 15- 25 seconds.
Also, when I begin to sync tracks manually, the screen freezes and then begins to cycle in and out of 'non-responding' status. At that time only 4 of the 8 cores (cpu usage) shows any activity. The cycling continues for more than 5 minutes. By that time I close the program.
videos is 1hr and 20 min.
Any ideas?
Edit: I have changed the video card back to the original GeForce 9500 GT

Hi, I've got a Mac OS X, and recently online videos have stopped working. The audio still kind of works, but the screen just goes into a kind of spasm! Any advice? Cheers!

I have noticed this with youtube and other sites, but things like skype calls still work fine.

Not much to go on, but is it the whole screen spasming, or just the window with the video?

8900 keeps going into standby and the only way to unlock is to press the power button?

Hi,
I Recently had my T-Mobile blackberry unlocked for my wife to use. It is now on Virgin. I have upgraded the software and everything is working well with the exception that the phone keeps going into some kind of stand by. It isn't the normal keypad lock, the unlock button wont unlock it, you have to press the red power button for a few seconds to wake it up.
It appears to be on a timer as it locks after about 2 minutes and goes to a black screen. It will happen in the middle of typing a text or whatever you are doing and when you press the power button to unlock it, it then takes you back to the home screen.. Very annoying!
I have gone through all the options and cant find anything to stop it. The auto on/off if off. Password is disabled with security time out set to 30 mins.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Managed to sort the problem by roling back the software to version 4.6.1
Thanks for all your help.....??

Importing video created in Premiere Elements into Muse

Ideally we should be able to work in one Adobe product and transfer the work product to another Adobe product. I love Muse, but I am unable to export a video created in Premiere Elements CS6 into Muse CS6. The problem is that there is no export option in PE to create an SWF file .... the only video file Muse seems to support. I hope in a future iteration of Muse, it will take FLV files or that PE will be able to export to an SWF flie.

Read up on how to manually embed video players such as jwplayer or whatever. Merely a mtter of downloading the player skins and copy&pasting the sample code.

Moved Premiere Elements 10 project Error: "Project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements"

After moving an entire client folder from an external hard drive to an internal one, the client's video, created in adobe premiere elements 10, will no longer open in adobe premiere elements 10. It appears to be loading the project, and instead of completing, the following error message is displayed: "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements."
The same thing occurs when attempting to open the archive files.
New projects, and unmoved projects behave properly.
Moved projects receive this error.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 on a solid state drive (SSD) (c:/), where premiere elements is installed
My documents, including the project I need to work with are on my "storage" drive (HDD). it is (f:/)

Archiving Aspects of this.....
First let clear the matter of the "archiving" as a life saver.... We do not appear to be on the same wave length.
a. I am talking about File Menu/Project Archiver with its Archive project and Copy project options. This feature is a safety net to save you when you
inadvertently disconnect source media from the project file. With the Archive option (Trimmed Folder result), you get saved to the computer hard drive (safe keeping) a copy of the project file plus copies of the media that were taken to the Timeline. With the Copy option (Copied Folder result), you get copy of the project files plus copies of much more.
b. Instead, you appear to be talking about "archiving" in the context of AutoSaves. AutoSaves are saved snapshots of the project at various phases of the edit. They suffer from the same shortcomings of the original project that has been disconnected from its source media.
When you import media into a project, all you get are copies of the originals in the project. But, those copies need to trace back to originals at the locations where they were when first imported into the project. Moving, renaming, deleting files/folders that went into the project after the project save close leads to some very time consuming messy situations.
What to do....
If you can, put everything back the way it was. If not.....
Let me emphasis some factors..
You wrote

It appears to be loading the project, and instead of completing, the following error message is displayed: "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements."
Here you mention specifically "client's video". Later you detail with .mod files converted to .avi. What kind of .avi? If you have converted to AVCHD.avi or H.264.avi, they have been found not to be compatible with Premiere Elements. You should not be able to import them into any new or old project.
From what you described, I am envisioning
"Video" Folder
which contains 2 folders named
"Timestamped Folder" with .avi files
and
"DVD" Folder with the project file (project.prel)
The project file has many files generated automatically in the course of it workflow. Where do you have them going?
(See Premiere Elements 10 Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Discs). If you have the Scratch Discs directed
"Same As Project", then we would expect all those files to be going to the DVD Folder in the above scenario.
If we could open the project and get greeted with some "Where is the file.....?" messages, that might give us some hope.
But that is not the case.
Consequently from what you have said, I am suggesting that the path of least resistance is try to recreate the "before".
Please review and consider.

After 2 years Premiere Elements 9 not working

I bought a Dell desktop in 2012 and it came with Premiere Elements 9 installed. Apart from some freezing and shutting down problems, the program has worked fine. Just recently, however, the program stopped working. I can get to the home screen, but when I try to open a new or existing file the program goes nowhere, almost as if it has gone into some kind of loop and it can't complete the opening of the project.
I have reinstalled twice but that hasn't fixed the problem. I am running Windows 7 with 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1. The system is x64 with 8gb RAM, and I currently have over 100 gb hard drive space free. I feel like I've done all the basic fixes that a computer novice can do, but I'm not getting anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

The troubleshooting basics for this might include:
1. Video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card/graphics card. (I am assuming you have just one card, not two. If otherwise, please let us know.)
2. Latest version of QuickTime.
3. Program running as Run As Administrator and from User Account with Administrative Privileges
If your video card/graphics card driver is up to date, then try deleting the BadDrivers.txt file.
Local Disc C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in the 9.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. Once you open the program again, the program will generate a new BadDrivers.txt file and hopefully the program is gone. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the whole path cited.
Have you tried to delete the Premiere Elements Settings File
Local Disk C
Users
Ower
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in the 9.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Make sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the whole path cited above.
Have you gone through the processes of getting rid of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files. See Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder, Media Cache Files Folder. Also, hit the Clean Button in the Media Cache Database area accessed from Edit Menu/Preferences/Media.
Are you working from the 9.0.1 Update version of Premiere Elements 9?
Please review and then let us know if any of the above had any impact on your issue.
Thank you.

Premiere Elements 11 (Trial) question

Hello
What might be the reason why Premiere Elements 11 (Trial) will not open up when I double-click on its desktop icon?
I have successfully installed it today - but not used it - and I can see it in the Control Panel and there is a folder for it under Adobe in my Windows 7 Program Files folder on my C drive.
Thanks
Steve

You are correct. The only way to test that would be to install an nVidia, or AMD/ATI card, disable the Intel embedded chip, and install the latest driver from the mfgr's. Web site - then test.
For general computing, the video card/chip and its driver, are less important, and e-mail clients, word processors, spreadsheet programs, and Web browsers usually work just fine. However, with programs like PrE, 3D creation programs and extreme games, rely very heavily on the interface with the video driver. PrE needs that, just for running its GUI (Graphical User Interface). It is programs, in that latter group, that tax the video driver very heavily.
I would start with this FAQ Entry (if I have posted this link upthread, I apologize): http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0 It starts with a general checklist on getting things set up and running for PrE. Then, it goes into some tips on tuning up one's computer and OS. Finally, it lists many troubleshooting tips, and links to some tools to help in that process, going from easy to harder. If you find, that after that article, things still do not work properly, that will narrow the focus to the video driver, with pretty high probability - though only the test outlined above, could verify that.
Though I have had Intel CPU's, since the first PC hit my desk in the 80's, I would not rely on one of their GPU chips, due to the lack of driver support, and always recommend that one go with an nVidia, or AMD/ATI chip set, instead. Going back some years, I was a fan of the Matrox video cards, especially on my graphic design computers. However, like Intel, Matrox was deficient in their driver support, so I finally dropped them for nVidia.
Even then, there can be developmental dead ends. My current laptop is about 5 years old, and has an nVidia GeForce 8800M GTX. I am still running XP-Pro SP-3 on it, and nVidia has not done a new driver for that chip and that OS, since mid-2012. All of my other Adobe programs run fine on it, except for PrE 11, which has some display issues. It's nothing that I cannot live with, especially as I have a new laptop on order. Still, and even with an nVidia chip, the driver support for it, with my older OS, has run its course. I, who always urge people to update their video drivers, am now out of luck - no new driver for that chip and OS - dead end.
Good luck,
Hunt

If you want to give some troubleshooting a try, I will stay with you until we get that Premiere Elements 11 Windows to work. I will have lot of questions because I believe the answers are in the details. Often I write problems with the same symptoms can (often do) have different causes. So, I look at each case for details specific to it.
1. How long have you been running Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 64 bit without this problem: few days, few weeks, few months, never worked? The usual drill...do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed and are you working from a User Account with Administrative Privileges? Are your video and audio card drivers up to date?
2. What do your computer resources look like, available RAM, free hard drive space (derived from just Local Disk C or using a supplemental drive for scratch disks and video storage? Where are your scratch disks directed and how much free hard drive space is at that location? (See Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks.) Besides your ccleaner maintenance, have you checked for Adobe Folder previews and conformed audio pile ups? Have you cleaned the Media Cache Database (See Edit Menu/Preferences/Media/Media Cache Database.)?
3. You say the problem happened out of the blue. Any new software, plug-ins, codecs, and the like installed around the time that the problem set in?
4. I would like to see you get rid of the Welcome Screen as your point of entry to the program. To that end, right click the Premiere Elements 11 Desktop icon, select Properties, select Open File Location. That will take you to a file named Adobe Premiere Elements 11.exe. Select the file next to it named Adobe Premiere Elements.exe, create a Desktop shortcut to Adobe Premiere Elements.exe, and use that Desktop shortcut thereafter to open Premiere Elements 11.
5. I would also like to explore other ways of opening the Premiere Elements new project depending on results. One example...can you open a new Premiere Elements project from the Elements Organizer?
5. If possible, download and install the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 11 Windows from Adobe and determine if that will install for you from the Premiere Elements as well as the Elements Organizer interfaces. Adobe allows only one download of its tryout product version whether you have used the product 1 or 30 days. So, if you have gone the tryout route, this idea isn't going to work unless Adobe makes an exception. But, I do like this idea for troubleshooting purposes.
MBolton never did follow up to a conclusion on the thread that kglad kindly referenced. There were other avenues to explore. I look forward to the opportunity to assist you in your Premiere Elements troubleshooting here. I am no longer visiting nor answering questions at the web site where MBolton and I sought to find an answer to this issue.
Thanks.
