Premiere Elements 9 - Common file types (AVI, JPG, MP3, etc.) not recognized

I just recently upgraded my system to Windows 7 64 bit (with 8 GB of RAM), and loaded the Photoshop/Premiere Elements 9 combo pack. I have run both versions 7 and 8 in the past with only minimal memory issues under Vista 32 bit with 4 GB of RAM, but no issues as far as loading AVI's, jpgs, mp3s, wav, etc file types. With this new version Photoshop Elements appears to work ok, but in Premiere Elements, I can not load any common file types without getting the error "Generic Failure - This type of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed". The other issue is that after I load the media from a given folder on my main drive "C", it's looking for the media in a folder on my "D" drive??? I tried to work this out through customer support, but was unsuccessful. This last time I called, they wanted to charge $24 for the call. I complained to the support person that they had never really solved my issue on previous calls so he suggested using the forum. Has anyone run into these issues?
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the software and have loaded all of the current updates, but I am not able to use Premiere Elements in it's current state. Any help will be appreciated...(note, this is the only application that I am currently having issues with on my upgraded system - all other software - probably 25 plus apps including Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum v 10, which I may have to switch to entirely, appear to be working well).
Thanks in advance for your help!

For the CODEC issue, it could well be that your new OS is lacking some of those on the previous, though that would not explain the JPEG, for instance.
Going back, Windows would automatically install many CODEC's, including all the MS CODEC's. With some versions of Vista, one had to manually download and install a Vista CODEC pack. Now, I have a strong aversion to downloading any non-MS CODEC "packs," and would urge you to think long and hard before doing such.
If you do not have G-Spot, a great, free utility, I'd get it, and see which CODEC's are installed.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - for any error messages that you get with any of the Adobe CODEC's, see this ARTICLE.

  • Will iTunes back-up keep file type? (.acc, .mp3, etc.)

    I have several questions. I want to back up my library and I want to know the best way to do it. Do I need to de-authorize all my songs before? Why should/shouldn't I use iTunes vs a DVD authoring program? I have several dj-mix files from the internet that are in .mp3 format and my purchased library in the .acc format. Will iTunes change any of formats? Any other concerns that I should worry about?
      Windows 2000  

    iTunes Match will work from your iTunes library.  Provided that your iTunes configuration did not directly reference the external hard disk you will not have an issue.
    It is essential to maintain a secure backup outside iTunes Match since the Song files will never be a precise match to your originals.

  • Using the value "Image/*" for the accept attribute of the HTML input Element, how can I add .pdf to the array of preconfigured file types (.jpe, .jpg, .jpeg, .?

    On a form, using the value "image/*" for the accept attribute of the HTML input Element, how can I add .pdf to the array of pre-configured file types (.jpe, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, .bmp, .ico, .svg, .svgz, .tif, .tiff, .ai, .drw, .pct, .psp, .xcf, .psd, .raw)?
    Say I wanted to add .gif, .jfif or .ico. I find this array limited, how can I add types to image?
    <input type="file" name="file" accept="image/*" id="file" />
    mimeTypes.rdf does not seem to allow this.

    ''mimeTypes.rdf'' has nothing to do with web development. It's a file that stores your file handling preferences (e.g. if you want ZIP files automatically saved or opened).
    You can't change the file types of the pre-defined content specifiers (audio/*, video/*, image/*), but you can specify additional MIME types. To add PDF to your above example,
    <pre><nowiki><input type="file" name="file" accept="image/*,application/pdf" id="file" /></nowiki></pre>

  • CS4 - need to export file type: avi codec: XviD

    I just downloaded the 30-day trial for PremierePro CS4 as I was having difficulty maintaining saturation when converting with Premiere Elements 4.0.  I was told that I could export my files in PremierePro CS4 with the specs I need, but I don't know how.  Specs I need are:
    Dimensions:  1360 x 768
    File Type:  .AVI
    Codec:  XviD
    30 Frames per second
    I'm completely new to this so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.  I had downloaded some sort of XviD file online, and it added it to my export option, but it wouldn't do anything when I selected it and I would eventually have to close down PremierePro.  I've since removed the XviD program from my computer in case the program itself was corrupted.

    I find that the DivX (commercial version of Xvid) encoder works fine, when that is the desired delivery format/CODEC. Fortunately, I do not have to do much of this, but it works.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere Elements 11 file sizes

    Premiere Elements 11 file sizes?
    I recorded small 170MB and larger 570MB videos with audio using HyperCam 3.
    Both load and play back in Windows Media Player (ver 12.0.7601.18150) without a problem.
    I can load and play back the small files in Premiere Elements 11 without a problem.
    But, when I load the larger file into Premiere Elements 11, only the sound track loads and plays.
    No video track and the preview screen is a solid black box on my monitor.
    Is there a file size restriction in using Premiere Elements 11?

    Martyson 2010
    By the time I downloaded and looked at your sample video, I see that you and nealeh have worked out a workaround, that is, converting your Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM).avi (1920 x 1080 @ 10 frames per second) to H.264.mp4 (1920 x 1080 @ 30 frames per second.
    I was able to convert your sample video into H.264.mp4 (1920 x 1080 @ 30 frames per second using the free HandBrake program). All 11 minutes 52 seconds of the H.264.mp4 imported into Premiere Elements 11 without issue.
    In the case of these converters, we are dealing with changes in at least video compression, file extension, and frame rate.
    However
    The tests brought up some interesting questions
    1. When I ran your file through the gspot utility, the video codec was shown as Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM), but it listed Codec NOT installed.
    2. In spite of the Codec NOT installed, I was able to play back your video in Windows Media Player and VLC Player.
    3. Your Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM).avi imported with the complete duration of the file, but only audio, no video.
    Further
    4. When I ran my own Premiere Elements 11 created Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM).avi (30 frames per second, 11 min duration) through gspot, the video codec was shown as Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM), but it listed Codec NOT installed - same as yours.
    5. Yet, my file imported into Premiere Elements 11 completely (video and audio).
    6. I need to run a Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM).avi 10 frames per second, 11 min duration) to see if I get the same results as in 5.
    When you record your video, do you have the option of changing the frame rate from 10 to 30 frames per second?
    So, some of the questions that the remain for me
    a. Why is my Premiere Elements 11 created Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM) appearing to be different from the Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM) that you use in your file?
    b. Why is gspot telling me that the Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM) codec is not installed when I can use it in Premiere Elements 11 for the import and export of my own file?

  • Bridge 6 will not open common file types - e.g., jpeg, but CS6 has no problem with them

    I had had CS5.1 and CS6 on this PC. I uninstalled CS5.1; now, I can open common file types (eg.g, *.jpf, *.bmp) directly from CS6. However, Bridge 6 triggers an error message to the effect that "Windows cannot find (....\CS5.1) - in other words, Windows still wants to associate file types in Bridge *^* to CS 5.1 - not to CS6. As a result, bridge is effectively dead in the water.

    Yet another case of what happens when you uninstall an old version with a newer one present.
    The old version takes a lot of registry items with it on the way out, leaving empty pointers to itself rather than the new version still present. It's as if the old version uninstaller can't imagine the possibility of anything newer, so it just says to the OS "Photoshop is no longer installed". It's not just file associations, Lightroom users have reported similar problems with "Edit in Photoshop".
    Sometimes these pointers can be easily re-established, but more often a full uninstall/reinstall is needed, maybe with a run of the CC cleaner tool tossed in for good measure.
    This happens all the time, posts like this trickle through the forum at a steady state. I can't imagine why this has never been acknowledged, and why Adobe officials keep saying that it's perfectly safe to uninstall previous versions. It's not. Yes, it could well be that the bug, or whatever you prefer to call it, is ultimately in the Windows registry. But this happens with such solid regularity that some official recognition would be in order.
    The safe procedure is to always uninstall in strict reverse version order, then reinstall.

  • Premiere Elements Project file wount open in Premiere Pro CS6

    My friend Just bought Premiere elements 13 and created a Project. I cant open the Project in Premiere Pro CS6. Getting this error message:
    "The Project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened."
    The Project workes fine in Premiere Elements 13
    What can I do? What is wrong?

    If you have done this:
    Import a Premiere Elements project (Windows only)
       Select File > Open Project.   
       Browse to an Adobe Premiere Elements project file, with file extension PREL.   
       Click Open.   
    Premiere Pro converts the Premiere Elements project file to a Premiere Pro project file.
    and it wont work Elements 13 is probably too new for CS6.

  • I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync.  They work fine when played in Quicktime.

    Hello,
    I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync as soon as I load it into the program.  It appears to work fine in Quicktime.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply. This is the plan.
    Open Premiere Elements 12/12.1 to the Expert workspace.
    In the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
    In the Change Settings area, select the project preset
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    AVCHD LITE 720p30
    OK out of there. In the New Project dialog that appears, note that it has your new project preset named.
    Be sure to put a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". And, then OK out of there.
    Back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders to bring your video
    into Project Assets. From Project Assets drag your video to the Timeline Video Track 1/Audio Track 1.
    Is there an orange line over the content in the Timeline. See screenshot for orange line to which I am referring.
    There should be no colored line over the content if the project preset matches the video properties. But, if you do see
    that orange line, then render the Timeline content by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard or press
    the Render button above the Timeline.
    Do your video/audio now play back in the Edit area monitor in sync?
    Please let us know the result, and then we will decide what next.
    Thanks.

    Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

    .jpg files created on Iphone 4S are not recognized as .jpg files when uplaoding to American Heart Association fund raising webpage? .jpg's from Canon camera uploaded without any problems? The website automatically reduces the file size to <100kb.

    I haven't contacted AHA about this issue. The .jpg files created on Canon SLR uploaded correctly, but the photo from iPhone which was emailed to my PC using MS IE. The .jpg was browsed to from my desktop and is submitted. It shows up in draft form then when uploading it fails saying it is not a .jpg file or .png file? I have had other issues in the past emailing iPhone pictures. They were not editable after being sent to a PC. I guess we can retake photos with a non-Apple camera.
