Premiere Elements 8: Splash Screen Fail

I am running my Premiere Elements 8 on Windows 7 64 bit, latest Nvidia drivers.
The splash screen where you launch the actual program loads fine and my projects open from the OPEN PROJECT menu the first time, but if I close the program and try to once again open a project from the splash screen/launcher window it disappears and nothing happens! I must reboot to work on my project again. This happens if I try NEW PROJECT or OPEN PROJECT. Nothing is on my taskbar, but if I go to the task Manager in the processes I see Adobe Premiere Elements.exe *32 still running. Is there a 64 bit version?
Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum.
There is no 64-bit version of PrE. Only PrPro CS5 (and the soon to be released CS5.5) is 64-bit.
As for the hang (and continued running), there might be something in this ARTICLE, that will help.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • On Macbook pro how do I reset my premiere elements 12 welcome screen back as it was to ask if existing or new project.

    Hi there, on my macbook pro, can anyone tell me please how I can reset the welcome screen in Premiere Elements 12 back to how it was, were it asks to open an existing project or a new one. I made the mistake of changing the settings to open Premiere Elements editor by default but now it opens straight into a new project each time. Many thanks.

    I am strictly an Elements Windows user, but I think I am on common ground with this response. Please check it out.
    Resetting of the Welcome Screen is done using the icon to which the arrow points in the screenshot.
    If you cannot get to the Welcome Screen due to a prior set, then in the Open project, if you have a Window Menu, go to Window Menu/Welcome Screen.
    Please let us know if that worked for you.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Elements shows white screen

    At some point in generating a project, the SW suddenly shows a "white screen". Then the Windows 7 Screen gives you the option to wait for the program or exit. After 30 to 50sec. the screen is normal again, but then starts showing white again. When starting the "Windows Task Manager" you can see the memory used for the process "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe" to start at about 200 MB going up to 800MB, Then the program works again, shortly after falling back to 200MB (white screen) and then counting up again - and so on.
    Any idea?
    Thanks for any help! Nick

    What version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what Windows 7 is it running (32 or 64 bit)?
    Are you saying that this problem exists when you go to open a new project (no media introduced into the project yet)? Or, are you trying to open a project that has already been created/saved/closed?
    Is this a "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before" problem? If it worked before, how long ago was that and what were you doing when things went from good to bad?
    Information that John asks about your video card is important and should be ruled in or out at the onset.
    Let us start  here and then let us decide how best to customize the troubleshooting for your specific issues.

  • Premiere Elements 8 Grey Screen/Crash

    When I attempt to open a saved or new project I get a blank grey screen.  I've been using this program for years and only recently (a few months ago) this has happened.  Also, when I attempt to open organizer it crashes.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with no luck.  I'm using an HP Pavilion Slimline w/Windows Vista Home Premium OEMAct.  I've updated my latest NVIDIA driver and do not have MacFee security.  I'm not much of a tech guy so I'd be greatful for any help.  Any other suggestions?

    1. Preview Files. Are you on Vista 32 or 64 bit? In my Windows 7 64 bit, I would go to Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/8.0 and, in the 8.0 Folder, empty out the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder. Do you find such a folder on you computer hard drive?  I am in 64 bit.  I was able to find those files and clean them out.  They were pretty much empty since I recently re-installed the program.
    2. Conformed Audio Files. Here I would go to Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/8.0 and, in the 8.0 Folder, empty out the Media Cache Files Folder. Do you find such a folder on your computer hard drive? The only two folders in the 8.0 folder is "Preview Files" (now empty) and "Encoded Files" (empty as well)
    3. Conformed Video Files. Here I would go to Local Disk C\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache and clean out the Media Cache Folder. - Found these files and cleaned out a significant amount of files.
    After that we will be going after the Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 settings file
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    8.0 Folder
    and in the 8.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that we delete. If that does not work, then we delete the whole 8.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path. - Found file and deleted both the Prefs and then went back and deleted the entire 8.0 folder.  I started up the program and the same issue occured.  I went back through these instructions and the 8.0 folder and Pref file had reappeared - not sure if that is supposed to happen?

  • Premiere Elements 11 - preview screen white

    Hi, I recently downloaded the new PRE 11 but each time I've added a file to the timeline and tried to watch it through the preview screen I get the audio fine but the preview screen itself is white. If I click on the preview screen I can see the video but the video stops immediately.
    I've had a search of the web and of this forum for similar issues and tried:
    - updating my graphics drivers
    - updating PRE 11
    - deleting Baddrivers file
    - I have the current versions of Windows Media Player & Quicktime
    But had no success so far. I haven't tried hooking my camera up and adding the files direct from the camera yet but have tried adding other files already on my hard drive that are from the same camera along with various different file types also from my hard drive. My incredibly limited knowledge on these things would lead me to think its some kind of display/graphics problem but not at all sure.
    If anyone has any suggestions or can help in any way I'd be very appreciative!
    Not sure what kind of details you incredibly clever people need but heres some basics:

    and that you have deleted the BadDrivers.txt file found in the computer path
    Local Disk C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    and in the 11.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete.
    I believed that you have said that in prior thread, but I am just double checking.
    In a prior thread, I asked if you were having this problem in the Edit Mode Monitor as well as in the Preview Window with has Set In and Set Out points. What was your answer to that question?
    You say that your file is AVCHD with a .m2ts file extension. What happens if you rename just the file extension of that file and then import that into Premiere Elements 11 new project?
    Examples
    .m2ts to .m2t
    .m2ts to .avi
    .m2ts to .mov
    .m2ts to .mpg
    you say that your AVCHD.m2ts file is 1920 x 1080 16:9. Is this interlaced or progressive video? What is the frame rate? And, what are you or the program setting as the project preset? (Please refer to Edit Menu/Project Settings and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size.)
    Thanks.

  • SCCM 2012 SP1 Install fails at splash screen: Failed to create process of setupWpf.exe

    Hello,
    I can't seem to get past the initial install screen. When I click install I receive what is shown in the screen shot. The error in question is "Failed to create process of SetupWpf.exe" This is what I get after i click install. The error above
    that one "WinHttpReceiveresponse failed 80072ee7" is what I get when I tried to download the latest updates from the splash screen. It was on like update 44 of 56 when it failed but I am not sure I need to pursue that one. I cant even get the insall
    going.

    I am also having the same issue..
    I can start the sccm 2012 installation piror to installing SQL 2012 SP1. Once SQL installation is complete, and try to install sccm 2012 -> issue occur. Is this a sql issue, or a sccm 2012 issue.. I have download the SQL 2012 and SCCM 2012 FROM MS
    twics.. I have rebuilt my lab twice already ...
    Any help, not sure what step I am missing....
    Hello Yuyut,
    This issue is related to CM12 (not nessarly a widly known issue) perhaps something with the ISO. The copy I was using was from our MSDN subscription which kept failing. I downloaded it twice and still same issue. Since  I am setting this up as a lab
    for testing purposes I just ended up downloaded the 180 day evaluation and has worked for me so far. So again this is not related to SQL as I have noticed.
    Thorsten did mention on this thred that I should check permissons of the account I was trying to install it from. That was not my issue but you could give that a look also.

  • Premiere Elements 9 "white screen" issue

    Hello All,
    I recently bought a Canon HFR100 and am new to video editing, and decided to give the PRE9 Trial version a spin..
    My issue is, after installing the trial, and messing around for a few days, all of a sudden I get a white screen for a preview, instead of the viewer with the watermark in my editor. if I double click a video file, ANY video file, no matter what video type I chose for my project file, I get this white screen. The audio is playing fine, but no video, just the white screen. (see image for the white area)
    I've searched the forum for an answer, tried possible solutions (unistall - reinstall quicktime & Flash, added codecs, reinstalled the trial version. etc)...I just dont get it. Nothing else had changed, to my knowledge.
    It's also a new home built machine: Intel i5, 4gb ram, Vista32, EGVA GTS450 Display card....no other problems...
    Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for good software to edit my son's hockey games, and I was looking at purchasing the full version, but I'm concerned it I do, I'll have the same problem (if it's a corrupt file, somewhere).
    Thanks!

    I am having the same issue -- white screen with all video files, can hear audio but can't see any video when previewing thumbnails or rendering previews or video --
    I have a different configuration:
    Dell Precision M6300
    graphics card: NVIDIA Quadro FX3600M
    OS: Windows XP
    Intel Cor 2 Duo CPU
    T9300 @ 2.5Ghz
    2.47 Gh, 3.50 GB of RAM
    I've updated the driver...
    Quicktime...
    Disabled my anti-virus...
    I've been messing with this since I installed the trial a week ago but still have not been able to get Premiere Elements to work and try.  Any suggestions?

  • Premiere elements 13 split screen

    Is there any way to split screen a portion of a video in premiere elements 13?  I know you can do it in iMovie, but it's not worth working with low quality resolution that iMovie produces. 
    What I am trying to do is include bullet points from a keynote/powerpoint slide into the video.  My ideas were split screen with the jpg of the slide on one side, a picture-in-picture effect with the jpg of the slide as the small picture, or an overlay of the bullet points text directly on the video.  (If it makes a difference, I am on a macbook pro)
    Any help is greatly appreciated, I have been struggling with this for a week or so.  Thanks in advance!

    In Premiere Elements 13/13.1, please check out
    With one clip on Video Track 1 and the other on Video Track 2 directly above the Video Track 1 content.
    fx Effects/Transform/Crop
    Also see....
    fx Effects/Presets/and one of the static 25% or 40% PiPs (picture in picture effects).
    If you have used iMovie, are you familiar with the principles for creating the effect?
    Please let us know the outcome. If needed, we will supply some screenshots to demonstrate the
    ideas.
    By the way, is your Premiere Elements project set as a 16:9 or 4:3 project? How are you outputting your
    PowerPoint slides from PowerPoint, 4:3 or 16:9?

  • How to disable PS Elements 10 splash screen?

    I'm frustrated that I get this Welcome screen everytime I start Photoshop.  How do I turn it off?
    I just want to start editing, like in the full version. 
    I FOUND IT.   For anyone wanting to do the same thing:
    1. Do NOT go to the Edit/Preferences menu in Photoshop. Not there.
    2. At the Welcome screen, click on the "settings" in the upper right corner.
    3. Choose "Always Launch Photoshop Elements Editor only."
    4. You are done. 

    Welcome to the forums, Tom.
    Well, actually, that's one way, but the thing is that the welcome screen still runs background processes when you turn it off that way. Better to go into the program files and make desktop shortcuts to the editor and/or organizer in windows or make dock icons for OS X.

  • Premiere Elements 7 - "Multiplexing has Failed" (on export to h.264 1920x1080i30)

    New to the forum. I have the PSE7/PRE7 bundle I purchased and downloaded direct from Adobe a couple of weeks ago. I also have a Canon HF100 AVCHD Camcorder.
    My problem is this. Whenever I attempt to render one of my camcorder clips (AVCHD .MTS files) that I've dropped in the timeline using the "h.264 1920x1080i 30" share option, it gets all the way through the rendering process and then with 5 seconds left, I get a "Multiplexing has failed" error and it fails to complete the rendering job. The clips are shot at 1920x1080 60i at 17MB/s. I import the clips and attempt the render in the 1920x1080i 30 (not 5.1) "preset".
    I cannot for the life of me figure out the problem. I called tech support and the best they could suggest was to have me re-install PRE7...which I did...twice...and the problem persists.
    I'm running 32-bit Vista Ultimate on a Dell D820 notebook with a 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo Processor, 2GB RAM, a 320GB 7200RPM HDD, and a 512MB NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120 Video Card, so processing power shouldn't be the problem. In fact I can render in every other format I've tried without issue.
    Other potentially relevant software installed (although I've uninstalled all of this in an attempt to see if they were causing problems, and the problem persists whether or not they're installed) include QuickTime 7, Nero 9, and Pixella ImageMixer 3 SE (the software that came with the HF100 which I don't use, but installed solely to provide the codec to view the .MTS files in WMP11 and in the PSE7 organizer).
    Any suggestions as to what the problem could be?
    Thanks in advance!
    --Mav

    Ozpeter, "PE7 - AVCHD user's first look" #13, 5 Oct 2008 2:29 am might point to a workaround - don't multiplex in PE7, use the 'tsMuxeR' free small 3rd party package to do that afterwards (and then you can burn an AVCHD DVD using imgBurn).

  • Premiere Elements 4/Photoshop elements 7 - grayed out menu

    I am a total newbie with no artistic skills at all.  I am just trying to create a DVD using ONE clip.
    I want to create a still shot from the clip to use as a menu background.
    According to the Premiere Elements 4 help screen I should just have to click on the camera and then have the OPTION to edit the image in Photoshop Elements.  For my setup this option is grayed out.  All I can do is save the image as a .bmp (bitmap).
    Can someone tell me why this is?  Did I do something wrong in setup?
    Is there a good book for PE ver 4?
    thanks
    Mark

    Thanks Barb and Steve
    You have both answered my question.
    Now if I wasn't so intimidated by the software I might try it
    Do you think it would make sense to upgrade to version 8 of both?  I am thinking of upgrading to a new PC since this software is such a resorce hog!
    I really need to get some books altho I read the PSE 7 missing manual and it described features that didnt work on my PC!!
    AGH!!

  • Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements Splash Screen Only, Then Closes (Windows 7 PC)

    Help!
    Having a very tough time getting up and running with Photoshop and Premiere Elements 12 on my WIndows 7 desktop. Got everything installed, but when I try to open either product, the splash screen opens, the product is up for a few seconds, then it closes. How can I get it up and running?  I see Adobe does not have free phone support with version 12 of the elements family. I understand that, but if I can't get it to run I will have to return it and slog on with my elements version 7 products. Any suggestions?  Thanks!
    -GDH

    Thanks Bob and Barbara.  I did try uninstalling and reinstalling with Norton 360 turned off and selective startup only windows required programs running in the background.  There is nothing displayed in the bottom left of the splash while it is open, unfortunately.  I was with Premiere Elements phone chat on hold but they have transferred me to the Photoshop Elements team where hopefully they will be able to get on my computer and fix this.  The Premiere guy said the proble with Premiere is because of the Photoshop elements organizer before he transferred me. Keeping my fingers crossed that they will help me or I may have to return it and go back to version 7 of this duo. It's old, but at least it works. Thanks

  • Remove Premiere Elements Splash Screen?

    Is there a way to get rid of the annoying Splash Screen in Premiere Elements 7? If I close it, the entire application closes too.
    Rosy#55

    Thanks everyone for the quick replies.  I guess I'll just move on with it there.  I am building Packages to deploy out to the user's in our organization.  Our accepted way is to generally get rid of all splash screens.  But as long as I know there is nothing I can do I should be able to deflect the complaints that land at my desk.
    Thanks

  • Photoshop/Premiere Elements 10 installed but won't run past Welcome screen

    I bought and downloaded Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 for Windows 7 - 64 bit on Dec.31/11.  There were no error messages in the download, although the Akamai downloader screen didn't seem to show 100% before proceeding to the next step.  Everything appeared to install correctly (it's  a long process!). 
    At first, clicking on the desktop icons or the Start Menu list would bring up the Welcome splash screen, where the broad options (Organize, Edit, New Project) were shown.  However, clicking on these options had no effect at all.  Eventually even the Welcome screen wouldn't appear. I checked the Windows task manager and no applications were running.
    I checked the shortcut properties and noticed that there was a separate executable in the target directory (eg. existing link was to "Adobe Premiere Elements 10.exe", but there was also a file called "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe"), which did run...however, I couldn't launch the Organizer from that program, and the "Home" link to the Welcome screen didn't function either.
    With thousands of these programs being downloaded, I'm surprised that this serious glitch hasn't surfaced before.  Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    There are three different programs -- Photoshop Elements (PSE) which is for editing bitmaps, Premiere Elements which is for video editing, and the PSE Organizer which is for cataloging your media.
    I don't like the sound of that Akamai downloader not registering 100%.
    Uninstall all the Adobe products, reboot, and download the installation package again.  Check the Properties on that downloaded file and "Unblock" it if Windows has flagged it as "possibley harmful and coming from another computer" before starting the installation.
