Premiere Elements 9 does not find photos

I cannot open old projects because PE9 does not find the photos and if I start with a new project PE9 cannot upload not any type of files.

And where are these photos located?
This is very, very important. Assuming that you are talking about Premiere Elements, the PREL (Project file) does NOT contain any media - none of any kind. It only contains links to where those media files were located, when they were Imported into the Project. Those links are absolute Paths, so that if anything changes, such as drive letter/Volume, file name, folder name, etc., the link is broken, and PrE cannot locate the file any longer.
Again, and assuming Premiere Elements, this article goes into more detail on the structure of the PREL (Project file): http://forums.adobe.com/message/3392837#3392837

  • Adobe premiere Elements does not find my Sony HDR-CX160

    When I try to use my Hi-DEF Sony HDR-CX160 video camera,  Adobe premiere Elements 10 does not "find" the camera.  Why not?
    Dan Eller

    When you do use Windows Explorer (or Mac Finder, I think... I don't have a Mac... and you did not say) to copy the files from the camera to your hard drive, do as it says in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1015001?tstart=0 so you don't lose the metadata

    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

    Yes I saw it but PSE (refers to Photo Shop Elements??) and I have trouble with Premiere Elements..(so the video program)
    The Photoshop Elements worked.
    I am not sure what to do here also the link at your reply "working with your operation system tools" didn't work..(got the "broken link error")

  • Premiere Elements does not recognize my blu ray burner LG WH10LS30

    I am not able to burn to my LG Bluray Burner (model WH10LS30).
    I am able to burn to another standard DVD drive, but I am trying to burn a HD Bluray now.
    My drive does have the latest firmware as of 12/2013 and works fine in my Win7 64bit environment
    When I try to burn the DVD I get a "No Burners Detected" see attached image
    Here is my drive in Device Manager

    Thanks for the follow up.
    1. Did you overcome the Shared Technologies error on reinstall? That is a troublesome issue that is independant of Premiere Elements version and computer operating systems. There are many suggested remedies. The one that has been working for me lately is renaming the OOBE Folder to OLDOOBE before reinstall.
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder is the OOBE Folder that you rename if this Shared Technologies error is blocking an install or reinstall.
    As for
    The setup has detected that ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe dynamiclinkmanager (dynamiclinkmanager.exe)
    Opening to Task Manager/Processes, finding those .exe files, and doing an End Process typically takes care of those problems.
    Since you have reinstalled the program, you must have succeeded in the above. Great job.
    Have you done an inspection, seeking pile ups of preview files, conformed audio, and conformed video files? Is the computer defragmented? These days the defragmentation is done automatically, but worth checking.
    You indicated that the video card driver is up to date. Was the latest update done after Premiere Elements 11 was working well? If so, you could look at roll back of the video card driver version. If it does not improve the situation, you could always revert to the one that you know to be current.
    A remote possibility that an antivirus update might be involved in the recent events. Have you looked at your present situation with and without the antivirus enabled?

  • Premiere elements does not recognize Blu-Ray disc, says media not present.  Under 12 I was able to record 3 blu-ray dvds using the same burner and discs I'm trying with 13.  What is the problem?

    I installed PE13 and cannot burn blu-ray DVDs.  I was able to burn 3 blu-ray DVDs using PE12.  When I select DVD from the menu it recogniazes that it is not a stadard DVD as I get an 'incorrect media' error message.  It will burn standard DVDs of the same video using standard DVD mefia.
    What is going  on here?
    When I loaded PE 12 back on the computer I cannot load a file created with PE13.  Looks like a format change?  Can I convert file back to PE12?

    Look to Burn To: in the Burn Dialog,  and scroll down there to the option that you want.
    Please let me know if this ISO Image choice is going to work for you. But I will keeping searching for the answer to these no media present situations.

  • Updated Windows to 8.1 and now Premiere Elements does not see my Panasonic video camera as source

    Is anyone else having issues due to the updated Windows 8.1?  I have a panasonic digital video mini casset camera that worked fine using a USB cable to upload video.  Now the program will not see the camera as a source.  Using a firewire is not an option and was not an issue in the past.

  • 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.        
    Thanks for any helpful advice!

    Thanks for the reply.
    Hope you can use the workarounds suggested in the Adobe document.
    Are you within 30 days of purchase from Adobe direct on this one? If so, you can seek a refund/money back from Adobe.
    If you purchased from an authorized reseller, then you have to deal with the seller according to the sellers return/refund policy.
    If an Adobe online purchase, then Adobe Chat Orders should be able to take care of the refund details.

  • Elements does not see some files

    I have folders in which Elements shows fewer files than Windows Explorer, and I can open the files with Explorer that don't show up in Elements, and Elements does not see them when I try to reconnect or find them.  Why does Elements not see some files, even when you try reconnecting?

    I think I may have moved these files with Elements into a different folder, and then copied them back into the original folder with Explorer, so there are now two copies of the same files with the same names in different folders,
    In this situation, PSE is most likely saying (in its very unhelpful way) that the file you're trying to import is a duplicate of one that already exists in the catalog.   PSE considers a file to be a duplicate if it has the same name, size, and last-modified date/time.  
    If you want a duplicate of a photo in the catalog, select one or more thumbnails and do File > Duplicate.
    What's the reason for wanting the duplicate photos in the catalog? There may be other ways of accomplishing your goal without making duplicates. 

  • Elements does not recognise prel file

    I saved a project to DVD (photos with background music) Elements does not recognise "prel" file when trying to reload project. How do i open file in Premiere Elements 10

    Chris (Herbie53)
    There was no Premiere Elements 5 and 6. The version numbers went 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (latest) So you probably use Premiere Elements 4 or maybe 7 on probably Windows 32 bit XP or Vista.
    Case 1. (Here we assume that you have the project.prel file (project) saved to a DVD disc as data disc.)
    Even if you had saved that older Premiere Elements project file (project.prel) along with copies of the media that went into it, it is still questionable whether that old project.prel could be opened in Premiere Elements 12. But, assuming that the media was still connected to it (which it probably is not), you could try by right clicking the project.prel file and selecting Open With Premiere Elements 12. Have you gone that route, and the project would not open or you were greeted by "Where is the file...?" messages.
    Case 2. (Here we assume that, when you were using the the older program, you took the project Timeline to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc...this is not the project.prel file, but an export of it.)
    In this situation, if you put your DVD disc in the burner tray and explored it, you would see two folders, one named OpenDVD and another named VIDEO_TS. This is your best case scenario. If this is the case.....
    a. Put your DVD disc in the burner tray.
    b. Open Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace. Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
    In Change Settings, set the project preset for either NTSC DV Standard or NTSC DV Widescreen. For now, we will assume NTSC DV Standard. Then, before you exit that area, in the last dialog that you see (new project dialog), make sure you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project".
    c. Next, back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/DVD Camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer where you will select video files from the VIDEO_TS Folder to bring into the Premiere Elements 12 project. You will have to redo the menu in 12. The video files that you want from the VIDEO_TS Folder typically start with VTS_01_1.VOB and continue in series which can be detailed later.
    Goal right now is to sort through the details so that we are in sync on what you have in order to enable us to be confident about the troubleshooting strategy.
    We will be watching for your comments and results.
    Thanks.

  • Spotlight does NOT find iPhoto keywords

    Hi,
    maybe you guys can help me.
    Spotlight does not find any of my iPhotos attached with keywords.
    My System is: Mac OS 10.4.4 and iPhoto 6 (5 did not work either).
    This is what I have tried so far:
    - repaired permissions more then once
    - rebuilt the spotlight database through the terminal
    - marked my iPhoto folder as privacy in the spotlight preferences and unmarked it
    - removed all keywords (1. try: marked all together; 2. try: marked all together and put them in a new empty list) , closed iPhoto, opened it and gave all an dummy keyword; removed the dummy keyword and assigned one-by-one for some iPhotos new keywords
    - archived the iPhoto database and let it built up by iPhoto again
    - ran the comboupdater of 10.4.4 again
    The last try I am thinking on is a "archive&install" of Tiger but maybe you have another idea???
    PS: Whats strange is that when I look at the processes while assigning keywords, the process 'mdimport' starts to work... but again, Spotlight does not find the iPhotos by keywords.

    I also had this happen to me several times. Once when I first moved to OS X 10.4 and again when I had to reload my computer. Each time I had archived my iPhoto library to a second drive, installed the OS on a clean formated drive and then copied the iPhoto Library back into my home directory.
    From that point, Spotlight would refuse to search for files via keywords. That is, until I updated the photo. By select each photo and changing somthing about the photo, wether editing the photo, changing its star rating to something else and back again, or even adding keywords to the photo, even putting a comment of a blank space in for each photo, doing anything to the photo that would update the xml file would cause that entry to get updated and in turn allow the photo to be searchable by keyword via Spotlight.
    There are scripts available that can actually put the iPhoto keywords into the photo file iteself. The one I am using also needs to have GraphicConverter installed. This way I can search either through iPhoto or Adobe Bridge for the Photos that I want to use.

  • IPhoto can not find photo

    Upgraded to iphoto 11.  then iphoto could not find photos even though they are on my Hard Disk.
    Whats up with this?
    i manually located the  photos one at a time. This is for 400 photos one at a time?  this is crazy  man.
    it should simply go to " all my files" snd grab the photos it needs!
    Help. This eats up too much time.

    it should simply go to " all my files" snd grab the photos it needs!
    It does.  You must have a damaged library.  You say you upgraded to iPhoto 9 (11).  What warning does iPhoto give you when you try to use it? 
    If you went inside the iPhoto Library package and moved photos around that will damage/corrupt the database that iPhoto uses.i t should simply go to " all my files" snd grab the photos it needs!
    Explain what you're seeing and what steps you took to fix the problem.  Then we can attempt to suggest an approach to fix the problem.
