Premiere Elements 8 not calculating space needed correctly

Hello, 
I have a project that I'm doing for our local school, and it's 2hrs and 40min long.  When I go to share it (usually I share to a folder, so I can make changes or double check before burning the DVD) it says I only need 2GB of final space.  I know that a video that long should take much more space than that.  And, of course, when I go to encode the DVD PRE8 crashes.
Anyone ever seen this before?
Thanks,
Shama

Hi Steve,
In PRE8, after I click "Share", I choose "Disc".  If I choose the folder option, then un-tick the "Fit Contents to available space" button, it shows how much space you need without altering quality. 
Any thoughts why it would say 2GB for such a long DVD?  I think this may be a clue as to why it's crashing during the encoding, that's why I'm asking.
Regards,
Shama

  • Capturing from Sony DCR in Premiere Elements 13 not possible?

    Premiere Elements does not find the device (SONY DCR-TRV120E PAL), although it is recognized in "Devices and Printers" as "AV/C Subunit / Sony DV Camcorder" (WIN 7) and the device is also recognized and capturing correctly under MS Movie Maker.

    I no longer have sound when playing my clips through adobe premiere elements 12. How to I correct this problem? I have checked all audio levels and there is no mute on etc. I updated to 12.1, but still no sound in any clips. Even not on old files which used to work.

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on? Can we assume that this audio plays back OK
    on the same computer when you are using a computer player independent of Premiere Elements?
    What are the properties of these clips that worked before but do not know with regard to sound
    For now, I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Have you checked the Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO settings? Do you have any 3rd party audio devices incorporated in your computer environment?
    Please delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if that does not work, then the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. The Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit path is
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    12.0
    and, in the 12.0 Folder, is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives" active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    Do you have installation files or installation disc with the purchased serial number in case we need to resort to uninstall/reinstall?

    This is the Photoshop Elements forum, not the Premiere Elements forum, located here:
    https://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
    When you open the project, it should ask you where the first file is located. After you tell it where it is, it should be able to find the rest of them if they are located near the first one.  Then save the file.  If you move the files again, you will have to relink them again.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements does not open after installation

    Hello,
    I have written before last week. I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11.
    I had a trial version of Photoshop Elements 11 and with the code I could access the full version.
    However Premiere Elements did not open after installation. I did not had a trial version so I first downloaded the full program. I went through the whole installation process and everything seemed ok, no error messages. But when I tried to open Adobe Premiere Elements after restarting the computer it did not open at all. Nothing happened.
    I have de-installed and re-installed the program for a couple of times over and over again but with not result. Also tried to download the trial version first and also this didn't work. I checked my Quicktime and updated to the latest version.
    I use a Windows laptop: Asus Intel Core i5-2430M, 2,4 GHz
    I hope you can help me out!
    Thanks!
    Inge

  • Adobe premiere elements 9 not editing

    This is my second attempt to post (my last one a little while ago didn't appear).
    I have bought the above package mainly to edit some club videos.  It is driving me mad.
    I have a Sony Viao
    Vista Home Premium
    Service pack 2
    Intel Core DUO CPU
    2.00 GB Ram
    32-bit
    I have imported a video from my comcorder to the PC via ION EZ Converter.  The video is stored as a .mpg file.
    When I open up organiser the thumbnail is there.
    The first time I opened organiser I somehow managed to drag the video to the left side of the screen and got a timeline but when I started it up I got sound but no picture.  However, now when I open up organiser and go into EDIT, aand try to drag across I get automatically sent into video effects and can't go back!
    I was told that the problem may be due to incorrect codecs and I have downloaded K-LITE MEGA Codec but that doesn't seem to have helped.
    Before I did this I also got a message in elements
    "we have detected an incompatible display driver. To get a better and faster playback performance please update your display driver.

    For your immediate issue, have you update the Online Services in preferences?

  • Why does Premiere Elements 8 not start correctly?

    I have a problem with Premiere Elements 8, using PC, Windows 8.1. Starting the program I can start a new project and save it. After this the menue appears but the working area is grey. There is no option to use any point of the menue beside starting a new project but this doesn´t help. New start of the pc did not chance anything. I uninstalled the program and installed it again. The problem is still there. In the past I used the program without any problem. Mc Afee is new installed, this is the only chance beside updates of Windows, they are automatically installed. Can anybody help me?

    maria
    If you have not already, please consider...just in case message, you need not reply
    Before you make any decisions on the fate of Premiere Elements 8, please evaluate it as the 8.0.1 Update which can be obtained from Adobe using the following link
    Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.1 update
    For reasons unknown to users, Adobe does not place a "8.0.1" in the description of the program once the 8.0.1 update is installed.
    I guess we get our OK immediately after installation with a update installed successfully message. And that is that.
    Two possible signs
    1. If the automatic Background Rendering in preferences was enabled before 8.0.1, it is disabled after 8.0.1.
    2. There is one file in the program files on the hard drive that, as I recall, may be new or renamed.
    For me, that update (plus shutting off the AutoAnalzyer feature in Elements Organizer) made the difference between usable versus
    unusable version 8 program.

  • Premiere Elements 13 (not Pro), recorded a video with mono mic input (left channel only), need to create 2-channel (left and right) audio track for finished product. Help?

    The question says it all. I have been all over the tutorials as well as the menus inside Premiere 13 and cannot find how to edit the audio track beyond basic balance, volume, etc.
    I can see the Audio 1 track, shows audio in left channel only, but it will not respond to attempts to select, cut/copy, paste, etc.
    Basically I just want to turn one-channel audio into two-channel audio.

    25424...
    Sure you do not want to give the Fill Left and Fill Right another try?
    According to the Adobe document Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Effects reference
    Fill Left, Fill Right
    The Fill Left effect duplicates the left channel information of the audio clip and places it in the right channel, discarding the original clip’s right channel information. The Fill Right effect duplicates the right channel information and places it in the left channel, discarding the existing left channel information. For example, you might use this effect on footage shot with a monaural microphone plugged into only one channel of a camcorder, extending the voice of a speaker from one channel to both.
    From what you wrote, your Premiere Pro video seems to be saying the same.
    If that Premiere Elements Fill Left or Fill Right is no go, you might want to explore what you can do in this regard using the free audio editor Audacity.
    Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
    And, then import the Audacity edited audio back into Premiere Elements project as source media.
    Is the speaker system OK?
    We will be watching for your results.

  • Premiere Elements 12 Files Won't Open Correctly in Windows 8 (64 bit)

    I haven't found a good format yet that will opening correctly in Windows 8. Some open with video only, others open with audio only, one opens video and audio but the image is elongated.  Nearly all of the file formats I tried that wouldn't open in Windows 8 were fine on a Vista PC

    gelijojapa
    Please give the specific properties of the source media that you are trying to import into Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8 64 bit. I have Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1, previously 8, 64 bit and am not having the same type of issue that you present.
    For your source video, what is
    Video Compression
    Audio Compression
    Frame Size
    Frame Rate
    Interlace or Progressive
    File extension
    Pixel Aspect Ratio
    What is the camera that these videos are coming from -  brand/model/settings for recording?
    The project preset should match the properties of the source media. In Premiere Elements 12, the program takes over the job of doing the setting of the project preset. Sometimes it does it right. Sometimes not. When not, then you set the project preset manually based on what you know are the properties of your source media. So, it is important to know the properties of the source media to set up the project correctly.
    There are certain video compression that are not compatible with Premiere Elements (any version), others incompatible on some computers but not others. So back to need for properties for your source videos to sort out what we are dealing with.
    Please put together the information requested, and we will work with you to get the importing, editing, and exporting of the program that you want (if possible).
    Looking forward to your follow up. Anything you do not understand in the above, just ask and we will clarify.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Elements 9 not loading the workkspace or projects

    Hi, I am new to the forum.
    Have recently pruchased Premiere Elements 9 along with Photoshop Elements 9 and installed. PE9 works perfectly. Premiere Elements worked once but since then will not load the Workspace or a Project. Have uninstalled and re-installed in various modes as suggested by Adobe Support to no avail. Have downloaded the Trial Version also and this also will not load a workspace. Have 2 conmputers, a Desktop and a Laptop and as far as I am aware they are both up to date but perhaps I am not computer literate enough to know.  Adobe Support suggest I try the forum so perhaps they are as confused as I am. Any help out there.

    Bill
    Many thanks for your advice over the last few days.
    I use both a Laptop and a Desktop, but all my video editing is done on my
    Laptop. This allows me to take my projects with me when at my Caravan or to
    the video club that I am a member of.
    The problem appears to be that on my Laptop my HDD capacity is only 100GB
    and my free space is only 15GB even without installing Premiere Elements 9.
    All my files are stored on my external HDD and its drive letter is set at G:
    Itr's capacity is 700GB with currently 522GB free space. I delete all files
    after completing a project and defragment
    I also wanted to instal Premiere Elements 9 on my desktop but the HDD
    Capacity on C: Drive is only 60GB with 14 GB free space and on the D: drive
    again it is only 60GB with free space of 44GB.
    I think your advice suggests that I need new computers?
    Regards
    Frank
    Frank,
    I do not recall if you have a laptop, or desktop computer, but if the
    latter, adding another, physical HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is quite easy, and
    inexpensive.
    With SATA HDD's, when one gets to about 70% of capacity, they begin to slow
    down. At 90%, the slowdown is quite noticeable, regarding the I/O
    performance. Near 100%, drive failure is common.
    The general recommended amount of defragmented free space is 20 - 30 GB, and
    I recommend around 40 - 60 GB, to allow the drive some headroom to work with
    the large working files, necessary in video-editing. This is above the Video
    Assets, and the output AV files.
    An external HDD is very useful when editing, but some considerations must be
    made. A USB external is good for archiving, but little else. That connection
    is very slow, and many users also experience read/write errors, when trying
    to edit to/from those. In severe cases, this has resulted in the total loss
    of all data on those USB externals. FW-400 is more stable, albeit still very
    slow. FW-800 has worked very well for me, and eSATA is even better,
    providing real-world performance akin to internal SATA HDD's.
    If editing to/from the FireWire, or eSATA external, one should set its drive
    letter permanently in the OS of the computer, so that it always appears as
    the same drive letter.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
    You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything

I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
