Premiere Elements 8: Scene Markers Not Frame Accurate on Burned DVDs

I have Premiere Elements 8, and I have just begun to burn DVDs of projects. I have discovered that the Scene Markers I have carefully placed at precise points in my footage (such as the very first frame of a scene) are not placed at those specific points in a burned DVD of the footage. They are out by several frames either early or late, the deviation being fairly inconsistent.
I placed 8 Scene Markers in the timeline of the project I have just completed, and were transferred to DVD with these Scene Markers at the following points on the resulting disc:
Scene Marker 1 was 7 frames early
Scene Marker 2 was 3 frames late
Scene Marker 3 was 2 frames late
Scene Marker 4 was 5 frames late
Scene Marker 5 was 5 frames late
Scene Marker 6 was 5 frames late
Scene Marker 7 was 7 frames late
Scene Marker 8 was 2 frames early
I was not expecting any deviation at all. There is no frame deviation when editing footage and transferring to DVD, it is absolutley frame-accurate, so why is there any deviation on the resulting DVD when it comes to the placement of Scene Markers?

If I am using GOP material, knowing that that material's I-Frames might not be 100% accurate with my desires, is to always have a Dip-to-Black Transition to about 02 sec. of Black Video, between all of my Clips. Then, I can locate my Chapter Markers on that Black Video. This also gets me that Dip-to-Black (and back from black), between Chapters. I like the aesthetics of those, and the solve any GOP issue.
Those Dip-to-Black also cover any "black flashes," that one often sees, when the DVD player's head seeks the next Chapter. The black flash will come when the screen is already black, so no one will ever see them.
I use a Dip-to-Black in editing, to show the passage of time, and perhaps the change in location (or both), and as Chapters usually feature one of those, the Dip-to-Black is ideal. Within a Chapter, if I use a Dip-to-Black (passage of time, or change in location), and the passage of time is quite long, then I will increase the Duration of the Black Video between the Clips even more. Just one way that I employ Transitions, and especially Dip-to-Black.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Premiere CC Chapter markers not frame accurate in Encore CS6

    So I just made a video with 30 chapter markers at distinct cuts in the timeline using Premiere CC and exported that to an MPEG-2 video as I would in CS6. After importing the MPEG-2 file into Encore CS6 and making a New Timeline the Chapter Markers do show up but they are now all 3-15 frames early per chapter which also means none of the chapter thumbnails are going to be accurate. It's easy to check this with both programs just compare the timecode number at each chapter point in the timeline of Premiere CC then Encore CS6.
    Also noticed that the Add Chapter Marker tool that was in the Premiere CS6 timeline is missing in CC, just the Add Marker tool is there now. Couldn't find a way to add the Add Chapter Marker tool to the timeline group of tools.

    The .xmpses file contains the chapter information, at least for CS6 and earlier.  You can test this by removing that file before importing into Encore.  You won't get any chapters.
    Not sure where Adobe is putting chapter data for CC, but it must be somewhere because the chapters are there.
    So I ran two tests, one from CS6 and one from CC7.  In both cases I added three chapter marks, two where I knew there would not be an I-frame in the exported .m2v, and one where there would be.  Both exports came into Encore with the chapter makers right where I put them, which surprises me because there were no I-frames at two of those points and Encore did not 'legalize' them as I'm accustomed to with my production machine.  (Ran this test on my personal machine.)  I could move the markers off those points, but could not put them back because, like I said, the DVD spec only allows them on I-frames.
    I did not burn to test whether or not Encore would move the chapters that weren't on I-frames.  I'd be confused if it didn't, though.

  • I have Adobe Premiere Elements and it will not let me export?

    I have Adobe Premiere Elements and it will not let me export? It also will not let me login. It says  photoshop.com is temporarily unaivalable and to check my network settings. Error 400. Can anyone help me? I need to export this video as soon as possible.

    You don't say which version of Premiere Elements you're using, but Photoshop.com was discontinued last year, so you won't be able to log into it.
    As for exporting -- it's hard to give you specific information without knowing which version of the software you're using and on what operating system but -- which Share or Publish & Share option are you using and what is happening when you use it?

  • Premiere Elements 9.0 will not open

    In August 2011 I purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 9.0 with a new Dell PC using Windows 7 64-bit. Since then I have used Premiere Elements many times for video editing without problems. The last time I used it was about 3 months ago. This week I tried to use Premiere Elements, but was unable to load it. The software would start to load up to the point of displaying the full screen with task bar, but without showing the individual “panes”, at which point it appeared to freeze. If I then tried to use the drop down menus (File/New/Project or Files/Open Project) an error message would pop up saying “Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.” after which the program would shut down. I have tried unistalling and reinstalling Premiere Elements, but it has not solved the problem. Any ideas how to fix it?

    DavidBrum
    If the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 problem set in after the installs of any one of the programs installed, then you should rule that factor in or out for each systematically. Each would be a prime candidate for troubleshooting exploration.
    But, before you do that, let us try deleting the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 settings file. In Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, it can be found in the path
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements Folder
    9.0 Folder
    and in the 9.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not correct the problem, then deleted the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists.
    IMPORTANT
    a. Make sure you are working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so you can see the complete path.
    b. Do not detour or get lured into a Premiere Elements 9.0 Folder instead of the Premiere Elements Folder/then 9.0 Folder.
    Please let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

    Premiere Elements 8, organizer will not start

    tibbe1948
    I would like to offers some suggestions for when there is a gap in the troubleshooting plan that you and SG are engaged in.
    At that time, please consider:
    1. Are you working from the 8.0.1 Update of Premiere Elements 8 Windows? If not, please do so.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
    2. Work with the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer Off. Check to make sure that they are Off. For Automatic Background
    Rendering option, see Edit Menu/Preferences/General. For the AutoAnalzyer options, go to the Elements Organizer accessed from the Premiere Elements workflow, and there select Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalzyer Options and shut them all Off if they are not Off already. If you cannot get into the Elements Organizer that way, put that action on hold for now.
    3. Close the program. Go to
    Local Disc C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Elements Organizer
    8.0
    Organizer
    and in the Organizer folder change the name of the psa.prf file to psa.prfOLD and close out of there and try to open the program and the Elements Organizer.
    Make sure that your computer is set for Folder Options Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drive active so that you can see the path described.
    4. Assuming that you can open Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 to the Welcome Screen even if you cannot open the Elements Organizer, go to the Welcome Screen
    a. hold down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift (altogether) as you click on hold (about 15 seconds) that click on the Organizer tab in the Welcome Screen. After those 15 seconds, release the click on the Organizer tab, but not the Ctrl+Alt+Shift, and look for the Catalog Manager dialog which should have popped up. It has a nasty habit of hidding behind the Welcome Screen, so, if necessary, move the Welcome Screen to one side to see if it is behind it.
    b. Create a new catalog using the Catalog Manager dialog.
    Please review the above when you have finished other troubleshooting that you are currently pursuing.
    We will be watching for your progress.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Elements Disk Menus does not show in replay using Mac Pro OS X 10.9.3

    I recently installed Premier Elements 12 on my Mac Pro OS X 10.9.3 (Maverick).
    Naturally I want to get the highest possible quality to show off on the TV using a standard DVD player.
    Outputting to DVD not using AVCHD retains the menu but not on AVCHD, what am I doing wrong?
    The Output Quality using just DVD and not AVCHD is lousy, what have I missed?

    SigiPC
    Thanks for the reply.
    Objective Miscellaneous
    Let us start with your objectives. If you are restricted to a DVD disc, then your export choices from Premiere Elements will be
    DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc (720 x 480 stretched to 856 x 480 for display after encoding)
    or
    AVCHD format on DVD disc (1920 x 1080 16:9)
    Disc menus are possible as described for main menu page, scene menu page, main menu markers and scene markers. The players will recognize the stop markers placed in a Premiere Elements burn to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, but will not recognize the stop markers in a Premiere Elements burn to AVCHD on DVD disc. There should not be problem with main menu markers or scene markers in either choice.
    Also, AVCHD on DVD is not playable in the standard DVD player. You need a Blu-ray player that supports AVCHD on DVD disc. Many do, but some may not. The specifications of the player is your guideline.
    For AVCHD on DVD disc, you do not need a Blu-ray DVD burner to burn to AVCHD on DVD disc. That can be done with a DVD burner.
    And, under all conditions, a stop marker should never be placed at the end of the last item on the Timeline.
    Specific Replies
    What disk menu?  I am talking about “disk menus” as per page 243 of Premiere Elements Manual.
    It was my impression that you said that "Disc Menus Do Not Show...", so I was asking which specific disc menu theme are you using? And, is this "do not show" applicable to all the disc menu themes that you have tried to work with?
    I am using a Panasonic Blu-Ray player on the TV.
    Are the disc menus of your Premiere Elements DVD-VIDEO or AVCHD on DVD not displaying solely with this Panasonic player? Or, is the same observed with computer playback of the DVD product? If the missing menus in the end product issue that brought you here involves solely the Panasonic player, then I would ask if you have checked the player for any option that would control the display of menus in the playback?
    Not sure if I am using “interlaced video” but you would know from my input sources mentioned above.
    You wrote "My source media is output from iPhoto and Fotomagico slide shows whose output is MP4 MOV or M4V and if played back in Quicktime are of very acceptable quality (H.264 1920X1080)". That does not tell me if 1080p or 1080i, but I suspect that it is 1080p. The MediaInfo properties readout will give a definite answer.
    http://download.cnet.com/MediaInfo/3000-2169_4-10413046.html
    Just be careful for unwanted carry alongs with the MediaInfo free program. But iPhoto and Fotomagico should be telling you before export whether you are exporting 1080i or 1080p. My main focus on the Premiere Elements 1080p DSLR aspects related to slideshow is the fact that that Premiere Elements DSLR project presets seem to give consistently a sharper photo image in the end product. So when applicable (photo and video wise) it is the preferred route for me and others.
    “Quality area” and space requirements are not of concerns at this stage since present show length is not even 30 minutes – or should I be concerned for some other reason but space?
    As routine, the Quality area Space Required and Bitrate should be known, even for your 30 minute Timeline content duration. You should be working with a check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space" and watching the Bitrate in that area. Anything lower than the maximum 8.00 Mbps indicates that the program is making a fit by lowering the Bitrate. The extent that it does not impacts the quality of the end product. Also, of note, the that Bitrate is a variable one in the end product.
    This may or may not affect what you are doing now, but it is important information to include in the discussion "just in case".
    Also, related trivia...DVD disc marked 4.7 GB/120 minutes is in reality 4.38 GB; DVD disc marked 8.5 GB/240 minutes is in reality 7.95 GB.
    Are we any closer to getting at why your disc menus are disappearing after end product creation in Premiere Elements and at playback with your Panasonic player?
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • Video scene markers not detected by DVD or computer

    I have burnt an autoplay DVD with elements 2 which combines video and still images.
    I put scene markers at each video cut and on each still image but when burnt neither DVD or computer detects them and I so I cannot flick between scenes. What might be causing this? Thanks

    I have not had time to hunt down the old FAQs related to this topic that CE mentioned in his posts.
    I have Premiere Elements 2, 4, and 7. I can confirm that if
    a. I put scene markers on the Timeline
    b. Go the Create Menus section of the program and opt for No Menus
    c. Then, in the DVD Preview (before the burn), I find options in the simulated Remote for Previous Scene (shortcut P) and Next Scene (shortcut N) which recognize the appropriate scene...works fine there.
    However, when I take the end product DVD-VIDEO to my TV/DVD Player, I end up with an AutoPlay with no option to pick (skip to) specific scenes once I hit Play. I cannot find a Previous Scene/Next Scene on my Remote that will function to do just that. If I select Search (slow or fast), that is exactly what it does, but it gives me very poor control.
    Although CE says this AutoPlay with scene selection opportunities is popular, what percentage of users has used it for that purpose successfully. Is my experiences related just to my Remote and my use of it?

  • Premiere Elements 12 Effects-Panel not working

    Hi there!
    I've recently updated to Elements 12 (from 10) and I am more or less happy, but since today, I can't use the effects-panel anymore. When I click any effect, the options won't pop up (see attached screenshot).
    Does anyone know what to do?
    I'm running the latest version of OS X and Premiere Elements.
    All the best!

    It seems that you have made some progress. Please compare the first screenshot, apparently before uninstall/restall. Note that all you get for Color is Hue. Whereas, in the second screenshot, apparently after uninstall/reinstall, you now have Color with Hue, Lightness, Saturation, and Vibrance.
    And, your screenshot of fx Effects/Generate/Lens Flare shows just one effect which what is to be expected. There is only one choice there. Are you saying that you cannot apply that effect to your clip?
    Baseline questions.
    Premiere Elements 12. Have you switched from 12 to the 12.1 Update via the program's Help Menu/Updates? If not, please do so.
    Are you working in the Expert workspace or Quick workspace of the program? The answer to that might cut down on the expectations.

    It is well known the Premiere Elements Mac does not have all the effects of Premiere Elements Windows, but I do not think this is a Mac Windows matter. But, SG is a Mac user and can confirm that possible aspect of the matter.
    This is what I am suggesting
    After updating from 12 to 12.1
    1. Delete the Premiere Elements 12 Mac Settings File.

    SG can give us some guidance on this if you have problems doing this.
    2. If that does work, then I would suggest deactivation (Sign Out) of the program, followed by uninstall, ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner), reinstall.
    https://www.piriform.com/mac/ccleaner
    By the way, do you have QuickTime installed on your computer; running program Run As Adminstrator and from User Account with Administrative Privileges? Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    How long did you work with Premiere Elements 12 before you saw this problem...the very start, never worked or it worked for a while but then did not work?
    We will be watching for further details.
