Premiere Elements 8 - Video Playback Problem...

Hi,
I recently purchased Premiere Elements 8 and I have come across a problem which is really frustrating.
Everything I drag one of my imported video files into the timeline and try to play it, the playback comes out all strange and distorted.
I have included a picture what what the playback looks like below.
Any help will be greatly appreciated Thanks

Let us not give up.
First, check out what looks like all you would ever want and not want to know about DivX.
http://www.divxmovies.com/faq/#4.6
Next, let us attack this video clip with which you are dealing. We need to get a better handle on it, other than DivX Decoder Filter.
First look to see what DivX and any other codecs that you have installed on your computer. If you have Windows XP, follow the path:
Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager/Sound, video, and game controllers/video codecs and see if you have any DivX codecs there and do they need to be updated.
Download the free utility gspot and see what it tells you about the properties of your video, especially the video and audio codecs.
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/v26x/quick_start.html
This way, hopefully we will know what we are dealing with.
Also, what operating system do you have? If Windows Vista, does it have a Windows DVD Maker?
Did you ever say how you intended to export the Timeline and how you want to view the export?
I will be watching for your progress.

  • Premiere CS5 Video playback problems

    Dear All,
    I hope someone can help me out!
    I have finally managed to get the 64-bit upgrade sorted out. However, most of the time I try to start my trial version of Premiere, I get an error message saying "CS5 has stopped working". No explanation. Nothing. It just doesn't open.
    However, if I persevere long enough, after four or five attempts to start the program, it will inexplicably do so. My problem THEN is that a project I saved in CS4 seems to load OK but then I cannot get the video footage (unrendered) to appear in the preview window. Which makes the whole thing useless really.
    If I then click in the preview window, the footage WILL appear but only as a still on whatever frame it happened to be on. Again, making the entire shebang useless.
    So, if anyone has any brilliant tips on why these things are happening, do let me know. I feel like shooting someone! LOL
    I am quite happy to buy a copy of this thing IF I can be sure it will work. But I fail to see why Adobe are pretending these problems don't exist. No help from the support team via phone at all.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the welcome. I'm no expert on this subject so I'm not even sure I would know where to check the video-card driver. LOL.
    All I can say is that the trial version of Premiere CS4 had no such problems on this laptop. I'm now using Windows Vista, Home Premium, 64 bit. The CS4 trial ran fine on Windows Vista 32-bit (as it was before I upgraded) so I'm unsure why Adobe would have moved the goalposts in that regard?
    Thanks for your help.

  • I'm having video playback problems in the timeline, Premiere Elements12

    I'm having video playback problems in the timeline, Premiere Elements12.The clip keeps stuttering. The whole video is 45 minutes long, is HD and has added music tracks. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    •You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
    •(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
    •What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.1 update)

  • Premiere Elements 12 output problem

    I am having problems outputting my project. Different errors messages.  One says transcoding error.  Another time it says export error.  Other times it crashes. And then the program won't even open. 
    Any suggestions?
    bwatson9

    Steve,
    First, thank you for your prompt response.  This is the first time I have used Premiere Elements 12.  I don't seem to have a manual for the software.
    The product was bought with my new computer.  I am using windows 8.1 (64-bit) with Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz.  I have 12 GB of installed RAM.  I have 1TB hard drive of which this is the first project I done. 
    I have checked to make sure that I am getting all Windows and Microsoft Updates.  I even manually went to Windows Update and installed the optional updates.
    The project is a 20 min. video using mostly photos and 2 small video clips.  The project is saved in its own folder.
    When I go to the timeline in Expert view I do see an orange-yellow line above the timeline.  It runs the whole length of the project.
    I understand from reading the FAQ's that each photo cannot be larger than 1000 x 750 pixels.  I will check that and reduce their size.  Is there anything else that I need to do?
    Where can I find a manual?
    Thanks,

    A lot depends on a lot.
    What operating system are you using? What processor do you have and how much RAM and how much free space is on your hard drive?
    How long is your project? What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it?
    Have you ensured that your project file is saved to its own folder, with no other project files in this folder?
    When you add your video to your timeline in Expert view, do you see a yellow-orange line above the clips, along the top of the timeline? This indicates a mismatch between project settings and video specs.
    If you are on a Windows computer, have you set up your computer to get both Windows and Microsoft Updates -- and have you manually gone to Windows Update and ensured you have even the optional updates that don't install automatically?
    When did you last run Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter?

  • Why am I having imbedded video playback problems in Lion?

    Hello all,
    I'm been having problems viewing web videos on my 2011 MBPro 13'' w/ OS X Lion. Any time of web video I have normal sound by the video frames get all jumpy, almost like its less than 1fps. The only web videos that do not have this problem is when I watch a youtube video on youtube.com. If I watch imbedded youtube videos, I have the same skittish video playback problem.
    I have my adobe flash updated and I used Google Chrome as my web browser.
    Anyone else have a similar problem? Fixes? Thanks!

    Two things to keep in mind
    There is a forum for Lion, another for MBP owners, and this is not.
    And yes you will find lots and lots of threads of same.... no one looks at those that were "Solved"

  • Driver-related video playback problems.

    Hi,
       I've been experiencing less than stellar video playback for a while. My system is P4 1.6A  256MB RAM with msi FX 5700 128 MB running on WIN98 SE .  The thing is that before upgrading my drivers to 50.XX series , I never had video playback problems, totally smooth, then after the 50.XX series, certain video clips froze for a second when opened, then when I installed the 5306 drivers, my system used to freeze for a second before video playback and video seeking stuttered and froze a lot.  Since upgrading to 56.55  and then 56.64 version , the freezeups and stutters are gone but now the quality of the video playback is really crappy and also there is this horizontal border around the video and it looks kinda 'squinched?!?' .  This erratic video behaviour has been going on through out my upgrade from a FX5200 to FX5700 card and with both MSI and nvidia drivers. Presently I'm using nvidia non-branded drivers 56.64.  Also, why do these newer drivers keep dummy-proofing there options pages, you cannot even experiment enough with the settings anymore and I'm afraid Riva tuner or powerstrip might not work with the newer releases.
       I haven't experienced any problems with video games, just video playback, either windowed or full-screen. I would really appreciate any help with this problem, its getting to be like an itch at the back you just can't scratch.
    Thank you

  • Premiere Elements 9 technical problem - please help

    Hello,
    I have very serious problem with my Premiere Elements 9 for Mac.
    This program is turning off over and over again.
    I have started to prepare my new project and during the playback oraz during the operations on texts Premiere turns off very often.
    It wasn't huge problem for me because I was using save very often but the main problem is that now I can not create any DVD nor export this project to any video file because during the encoding process Premiere is turning off again (usually between 65-95% of the process of encoding)
    I tried to open this project on my PC with Windows with Premiere Elements 7 but 7 shows this file is not compatibile with previous version. So I installed ver. 9 on Windows (I bought Mac/Windows) and again Premiere Elements 9 for Windows has shown that my mac file is not compatibile??
    I was trying to find any bug fix files on Internet but I haven't found.
    Can anybody help me? It's 4 pm here and I need to burn my dvds invitation of my son's birthday for tomorrow and I have stucked.
    Here are some additional information:
    Adobe Premiere Elements 9 Mac/Windows edition (seperate installing dvds) - legally purchased
    Latest MacOs - orignal
    No external codecs
    No illigal programms
    Only legal software
    I will appreciate you help.
    Kind regards,
    Tom
    p.s. I use Premiere Elements for few years so I know what to do or wat to click to export file or create DVD

    Ha!!!
    I found the source of problem
    I mentioned that my problems have started when I had added text so I removed all text made by Elements text tool (I noticed that after rendering these object was still with red line instead of green).
    So now everything is ok so I'll prepare all texts as a psd transparent files and it will be great
    So it is Adobe's error - I hope they will prepare some fix for it.
    Anyway, thank you guys for help and support.
    I hope I'll finish my project this night because two unsleeping nights are to much for me
    Take care,
    Tom

  • Uploading using Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Network problems

    Hi,
    Is there a place in Adobe Premiere Elements 12 that we can insert our company proxy details, the reason being. When I go to Publish and Share and click "Social Websites" and want to upload a video to youtube and push next it gives the following error "Online Services encountered an error. The services will be terminated or paused if possible."
    If I use a 3G card it allows us to upload. Our network must be blocking this link or programme, yet we have made sure from our side adobe is not blocked on the network and I have access to all websites.
    My question is can we insert proxy details somewhere or can I get the link of where that link is taking us to when pushing next trying to upload with youtube via adobe . I know it is going to youtube but I need the exact URL to make sure we allow this link to work.
    Anyone have the answer for me?

  • Premiere Elements 8 Playback Issues

    Hey everyone,
    I am trying to make a compilation of movie clips using Premiere Elements 8. When I add a movie, I crop it down to about a minute long and delete the rest. However, when I try to play back what I have, the video is very laggy and not synced with the audio, or there is often no audio whatsoever. These same videos work perfectly fine in Windows Movie maker. I tried clicking "Render Work Area", but that did nothing. Also, in the bottom right corner of the screen a bar keeps popping up that reads "conforming (name of video)". Any advice that you guys can offer will be much appreciated. Thanks!

    This sounds like the nVidia driver problem many of us have had (there are around half-a-dozen threads about this).
    If you have an nVidia graphics card and are running nVidia driver 190.62 then remove (and do not reinstall) the PhysX / Steroscopic3D features from Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.
    Who knows - this may also fix the VC++ problem. If it does, please let us know as it extends the forums knowledge of this nVidia bug.

  • Premiere Elements 9.0 problem uploading Project

    Premiere Elements 9.0 will not fully upload a Project.  It uploads to 100% and then stalls.  Just prior to this problem it gave me a lack of memory and proceed with caution notice.   Solutions?

    hodgson
    Basically, what are you uploading your project to?
    Your Premiere Elements question should be posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing) rather than in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum (photo editing). A moderator should be along shortly to move your thread there.
    In the meanwhile I will ask the following
    1. On what computer operating system are you running Premiere Elements 9 and are you running Premiere Elements as the 9.0.1 Update?
    2. When you talk about uploading a project, exactly where are you in the project....Share/Online/YouTube or some place else?
    3. What are the properties of what you have on the Timeline? And, what have you set as the project preset based on the properties of those source media? What is the total duration of your Timeline content?
    4. Please describe your computer resources: 32 or 64 bit system, installed and available RAM, free hard drive space?
    The properties of your source is important since their format may be a factor in the low memory messages.
    Looking forward to your follow up in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Elements 4.0 Probleme beim Exportieren

    Hallo liebe Profis,
    nun habe ich es endlich geschafft, das Hochzeitsvideo zu schneiden und einen richtig tollen (meinen ersten) Film mit Menü, Kapitel usw. daraus zu machen.
    Die Länge des Films beträgt ca. 01:48:00 Stunden.
    Ich bin mit Windows XP, Premiere Elements 4.0, einer großen externen 300 GB Festplatte, von der lediglich 40 GB belegt sind und einem Arbeitsspeicher von 1024 MB ausgestattet.
    So, nun möchte ich natürlich das Video exportieren und ich dachte erst einmal auf die externe Festplatte, denn ich weiß nicht, wie groß der Film am Ende sein wird und welche DVD ich dafür brauche. Das wäre dann irgendwann mal eine andere Frage.
    Das Problem:
    Ich kann den Film nicht exportieren. Die Fehlermeldung ist Nicht genügend Speicherplatz auf Laufwerk zum Erstellen von temporären Dateien für den Brennvorgang
    Ich exportiere so: Ich geh auf den Reiter Verteilen, dann Datenträger, wähle Ordner 4,7 GB oder auch 8,5 GB, habe beides probiert, dann die Ordnerposition (mein externes Laufwerk), PAL_Widescreen_DolbyDVD und bei der Qualität habe ich schon alles durchprobiert. Die beste wäre natürlich toll, auch bei der niedersten klappt es nicht.
    Ich wäre Euch dankbar für Hilfe, ein paar Tipps, Anregungen, Hinweise oder was Euch so einfällt, denn ich weiß erst einmal überhaupt nicht weiter. Die Mühe soll ja auch nicht umsonst gewesen sein....
    Bei google und den Foren habe ich mein Problem bisher nicht gefunden. Auch über einen Link, in dem dieses Thema bereits besprochen wurde, würde ich mich sehr freuen.
    Danke schon jetzt!

    Hallo Achim,
    da du anscheinend häufiger größere Projekte bearbeitest, kannst du mir sicher auch eine Meldung erklären, die mich bei der Neuanlage von Projekten in Premiere Pro CS3 permanent nervt:
    Wenn ich versuche Videoclips von meiner Datenpartition zu öffnen, so taucht diese, im Gegensatz zu der Partition mit dem Betriebssystem und den Programmen, nicht in der Liste der Laufwerke auf.
    Und zudem erscheint das rotierende bunte Etwas (Mac OS) und schließlich nach einer Ewigkeit die Meldung:
    Verbindung fehlgeschlagen. Möglicherweise ist der Server nicht vorhanden oder zurzeit nicht in Betrieb ...
    Ich vermute, dass dies eventuell mit den Voreinstellungen - Arbeitslaufwerken zu tun haben könnte. Habe in der Hilfe nachgelesen jedoch keinebefreidigende Antwort dort gefunden.
    Gibt es da eine Auflösung? Danke schon mal für einen Tip

  • I have a probelm with Premiere Elements video freeze...

    Hi Everyone,
    I have this annoying problem, whenever I edit a video with most simple things such as adding a simple transition or even without it...
    just cutting the scenes...
    when ever I try to run the entire clip I get this annoying freeze that happens during the entire clip...
    by freeze I mean that the sound plays while the video freezes for some seconds each scene and so on...
    I would appriciate the help on maybe a way to optimize Premiere Elements or the GTX 580...
    I'm desperately using both the default settings @ Premiere Elements & @ the GTX 580 card...
    this is the system that I run Adobe Premiere Elements on:
    Intel I7 CPU 930 @ 2.83GHz.
    Win XP SP3 (Don't think I have updated the system, kinda affraid doing so, so I wont get the system F%#$ed up)
    6GB of RAM (though XP uses only 3.5GB out of it blah blah...)
    GeForce GTX580 (which was recently installed) (Latests Driver) (though couldn't install the HD audio driver, don't really know why do I need it..)
    I have both the motherboard sound card & My pro sound card for music editing (which is outside the PC)
    I tried working both with the motherboard sound card & My own, had no change with the freeze problem...
    I don't run any unnecessary software on that PC, its strickly for Music + Video...
    I would really appreciate any help I could get here...
    if there is any other info that is required please let me know...
    Thanks in advance,

    How many disk drives? What sizes? and how much DEFRAGMENTED space? What brand/model is the PC? You need to provide more information on your clips - their formats, what were they created on and how you got them into PRE.
    You really should install those Windows Updates.
    Here's a checklist of basics you should follow through with:
    Install all Windows Updates.
    Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.9 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
    Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
    Install PRE9 v9.0.1 update.
    Delete BadDrivers.txt (in Windows 7 this is likely at C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Premiere Elements\9.0\BadDrivers.txt)
    Run Disk Cleanup.
    Run Defragmenter.
    Reboot your PC.
    Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
    And give us some information about your clips and hardware:
    Use the GSpot Codec Information Utility to analyse the file and post screen image.
    What project preset did you use?
    Where did the clip come from?
    How did you get it into PRE?
    Post back here with the necessary information described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started

  • Premiere elements 9 trial problems

    Ok, so I downloaded the trial for premiere elements 9 about a week ago, and realised I had to update my graphics drivers for my Nvidea GeForce GT220 graphics card. Basically it told me the drivers were uncompatable and should be updated.
    I did so, and I'm now running the newest driver 260.99.
    I however, still get the message telling me to update the driver. The preview and playaback sectiosn do nto show an image and are isntead constantly frozen when in the editor, and all around it's generally slow.
    I've checked my system and I meet all the minimum requirements, yet, it still says the driver is out of date. I really need help to fix this problem as I now only have about 23 days left of the trial.
    Did anybody else get this? And if so how was it fixed?
    ~Yeximus

    Welcome to the forum.
    There are several threads on the "baddrivers.txt" file, and users getting the error message, even after updating their video driver. After the update of the driver, removing that bad drivers text file, and re-booting has fixed things. Some users have had difficulty finding that TXT file on their systems, to delete it. A Search of this forum for "baddriver.txt" (without the "s) should yield several threads, and in a few, the users have given the exact Path to the file on their systems. This FAQ Entry also addresses this issue.
    Also, on the upper section of the main forum page, there is a sticky (changes between two messages) and it shows what is disabled in the trial version.
    Hope that this helps,
    Hunt
