Premiere Elements 9 Shakey Video After Render!?

Hi
I am using Premiere Elements 9 to create my videos.
For some reason when I render my videos out the material is shaky?
I've been rendering my videos to play on windows media and the format is HD720p 30
The camera I am using is a Panasonic HDC-SD200 Full HD 1920x1080 (I've been downloading the material from the SD to the computer and then uploading it to Prem that way)
Any help would be great!
Cheers!!

When you started your Premiere Elements project, which project settings did you select? (You can check -- but not change it -- underr Edit/Project Settings.)
Your camcorder shoots in a variety of formats. However, assuming you shot in HA or HG format, you should have selected the project settings for Full AVCHD 1920x1080. (Your camcorder also has options to shoot in stereo or 5.1 audio, and you must select the correct setting for it also.)
If you've selected any other project setting that would explain the stuttering you're seeing. It's an frame rater interlacing conflict. Try setting up a project as I recommend and put some test footage in it. If you then output test footge as a WMV, it should look terrific.
Note that great improvements in working with AVCHD have been made in more recent versions of Premiere Elements. Version 11, for instance, automatically sets up your project to match your video, so you would not have had this issue.

Premiere Elements 9 Videos Rookie Here So Speak English please?

New computer 8 GB ram, 64 bits, Windows 7, I figured out how to make videos and I had some help but I can't find the answer to this problem? Has to be a better way? I could spend my life researching this topic and not come across the written material for the answer? I spend $1500 just for this computer to use this program and I am still having problems with it only when I add text. I spent 50 hours on creating a video didn't freeze up once. Then at the end I added in all the written paragraphs of text immediately it started freezing up and kicking me out of the program. Help remember I am a rookie so keep the instructions simple please?

Thanks Bill,
The text is now working with your short instruction and no more freezing up whoppeeee !! Do you why my microphone won't work under narration? Window opens but it appears not to be active because its grayed out and you can't use the controls? The mircophone works other wise on my system for sure?

Now is probably a good time to discuss Titles, and Instances of Titles.
When one creates a Title, it appears in the Project Panel. When it appears on, or is dragged to the Timeline, one has an Instance of that Title. One can have any number of Instances of that Title. All are linked back to the Title in the Project Panel. That means that if one changes any Instance of that Title, or the Title in the Project Panel, those changes will affect EVERY Instance of that Title. That can be very useful, but can also be confusing, when first encountered.
As an example, say that you have created a Title, that says "Meanwhole Back at the Ranch," sort of like the old silent Western movies. You place that Title between dozens of Clips on the Timeline, but then notice the mis-spelling. Just correct one of the Instances, or the Title in the Project Panel, and ALL Instances will reflect the change from Meanwhole," to "Meanwhile." So far, so good.
BUT, if one wants a different Title, but one based on that "Meanwhile Back at the Ranch," they would NOT edit one of the Instances, or the Title in the Project Panel, as that would change ALL Instances. Instead, go to that Title in the Project Panel, and Rt-click on it, then choose Duplicate. That will create a Copy of that Title, with the word "Copy" postpended to it. Then edit THAT Title, as needed, and those changes will NOT affect any Instances of the original Title. Note: you can Rt-click on the Copied/Duplicated Title, and choose Rename, to make finding it, and identifying it easier. Initially, upon Duplication, it will appear highlighted in the Project Panel, but if you need to easily find it later on, Renaming it should make that task easier. When done making changes to that Duplicate Title, just drag it to the Timeline to create an Instance of it.
Good luck, and hope that helps, plus saves confusion, when you go to alter but one Instance of a Title, without affecting all other Instances.

Premiere Elements 7 won't render video

I cannot get Premiere Elements to finish rendering my video in AVI format. I have tried multiple codecs. I have done it on 2 computers with 4 gigs or RAM, and dual core processors made in the last 2-3 years. One had Windows 7 and one had Windows Vista. They both get to about 70-90% and then stop. Windows Task Manager shows no CPU usage when this happens. I usually give it 10-15 minutes and if no activity happens I kill it. Is it normal for it to just hang on a random spot like this? Maybe I need to give it more time, but it sure seems like it has stopped responding.
What can I do to fix this? I could always try another format, but why won't this work?

Video is all local. I have copied the project folder and all video to the new computer and then pointed everything to the right paths. The reason I had to do this is because it wouldn't render on the original computer. The only computer that can render it is my work computer that has Windows 7, a core 2 duo and 6 gigs of RAM.
I moved it to my wife's laptop this morning using the same method that allowed me to render it at work. I previewed the whole video. It ran through from beginning to end without a problem. All scenes, music, transitions were there. So, moving the project worked. Again, all video was local.
As far as "codec", I used the wrong term. I think "encoder" is what I am changing. I pick the format, then click settings, and change the drop down to different AVI Encoders. I only started changing this after my initial attempts to render failed, so I tried the defaults first. In fact, I have tried the default settings no less than 3 times. I also tried QuickTime H.264 and it had they actually failed with error messages that basically said "An Error Occurred" and that's it.
Below are screens of the problem when rendering AVI showing the rendering has stopped. I also have uploaded my timeline.

Adobe Premiere Elements 10 Video Freezes After One Frame

Hi, so my Adobe product worked PERFECT for about a year now, then all of a sudden it just broke, When I put a file into it, it shows the First Frame and Freezes, the Audio plays as if the Video was showing, but the Video is just frozen. I don't know how to fix it, I've uninstalled and re-installed it, but nothing is helping.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running on, and what video card/graphics card
does your computer use? NVIDIA GeForce?
If so, please read the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA issue
which forces the Premiere Elements 10 user to roll back the driver version to about May 2013 in order to get
Premiere Elements 10 to function properly. For your convenience, the following is a copy/paste of that
Announcement which describes the problem, gives how to information, and all the necessary details.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you
are experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of
troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained
workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce
video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card
driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as
March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any
corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found

driver roll back can be found
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
Once we have the video card/graphics card driver matter ruled in or out, we can decide what next if indicated.
More questions will follow including
a. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 10?
b. Are you running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
c. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thank you.

Adobe premiere elements 12 video is slow and does not match sound

after uploading the clip to edit into premiere elements 12 the video clip is slow, it doesnt match with the sound which is on point, when played back the video is choppy and skips a few clips, how to fix this please? this makes me reconsider actually buying this program, this does not happen with windows movie maker.

lingling1234
Could you please review the following and determine if you have been there and done the following.
At the onset, have you assure that you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premeire Elements 12?
If you go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks, where do you have the categories directed and how much free hard drive space is there?
Assuring project is set so that project preset (project settings) match properties of source media....
Open Premiere Elements 12 to its Expert workspace.
Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, change the project preset to
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p@ 29.97
Before you exit that area (in the last dialog that you see - new project dialog), make sure that you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project".
Back in the Expert workspace,
a. If you attach your camera to the computer with USB, the select Add Media/Videos from Flip or Camera/Video Importer.
In the Video Importer Source: locate your camera. Set the Save In:, put a check mark next to the videos you want imported, select the choice Add to Timeline, then hit Get Media.That should put your video in Project Assets as well as on the Timeline.
b. If you have your files saved to the computer hard drive, then use Add Media/Files and Folders to get you video into Premiere Elements Project Assets from where you drag your video to the Timeline.
Either way, do you see an orange line over the Timeline content (I am not talking about the orange line that runs horizontally through the clip). Hit the Enter key. Does the Timeline content play back in the Edit area monitor or does a Render dialog pop up? What does the playback look like and sound like in either case? Is anything improved at this point from what you were getting before?
If same as same as with the above, there would be series of questions about your computer environment.
We look forward to your results if you get a chance.
Thanks.

Adobe Premiere Elements 4 won't render or export.

Hello!
I have recently found the HD options in Premiere Elements 4, but when I go to render or export, the render window pops up for a split second before closing. When I click export, it prompts me to save the file, but then it doesn't do anything.
The NTSC-DV-Standard 48kHz and Widescreen 48kHz works just fine, it's the HDV 1080i 30 and HDV 720p 30 that wont render or export. This is very irratating as I would like to have higher quality videos when my clips are higher quality as well.
Thank you in advance for any help!

xmau5
The installation of QuickTime on your computer with Premiere Elements 4 is a must.
Please go to the following link and install QuickTime (the version will be applicable to 32 as well as 64 bit system)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
This version should cover through Windows 8, 8.1 64 bit.
The other requirement is that you run the these programs as Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Priviledges.
Then I would suggest that you try the export
Share
Personal Computer
QuickTime
with the Preset = Cable Modem
and then change the settings under the Advanced Button/Video Tab
or
Repeat what you have been doing with File Menu/Export/Movie with your setting presumed to be for
QuickTime 1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic 16:9. H.264.mov.
Let us see if the QuickTime requirement takes care of your issue.
Looking forward to your results.
But the success or failure of the overall project is going to depend to a large extent on how you set up the project.
The project preset set at the beginning of each new project should match the properties of your source media. So, get a good handle on what those properties are.
ATR
Add On...
Are you starting out with HD footage like 1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic 16:9 or 1280 x 720 16:9 and going to an edit and export to the same. Or are you try to take SD footage to a HD export?

Premiere Elements 8 video looks bad when editing

Hi -
I'm brand new to Premiere Elements 8 - in fact just installed it on an HP/Compaq 6530b laptop running Windows Vista (32 bit). Initially, I tried to edit a Flip video (MPG4) and also a Flip video that I converted to AVI. I also have a new Canon Vixia HF M31; regardless of what video I use, the video editing window looks horrible. There's a "double image" - the one on top is heavy green and there's another "double image" of the video below it that looks better but is below the green-shaded video (see inserted image below). I'm wondering if it's an issue with the laptop, especially since multiple video formats have the same problem. Where do I begin to resolve this?
NOTE: I've taken this same video and it looks fine with Windows Movie Maker (at least the MPG4 - haven't tried the Vixia .MTS video yet as I'm guessing it won't work with Movie Maker).
Thanks,
Calvin

Thanks Bill and everyone else. I appreciate all of your thoughtful responses.
I've tried PE8 on my personal desktop PC (though its only a trial b/c my corporation has a license for PE8 but only for PC managed on our network) and things look much better, other than that annoying "Trial version" banner inserted on my videos.
I've render some video of my daughter playing volleyball as a PC-based media file and I'm pretty surprised at all the presets available and how using one of the various MPEG2 or NTCS presets makes a huge difference in the quality of the video. Where can I read more about this? What I do notice is the MPEG2 video looks very clear but is choppy when the camera is moving while the NTSC that I used is a bit pixilated but the video is not choppy when the camera is moving.
In the end, I'm trying to decide if PE8 is for me - this is my first HD camcorder and in the past I was happy with Pinnacle (way back on Version 10); I've heard that really it's down to PE8 or Sony Vegas. I'll keep doing research and I think there's a trial download of Vegas but I always appreciate the advice of experts.
Thanks again!

Does Adobe Premiere Elements Have Video Description & Editing Feature?

Dear Adobe Fans,
Can any Adobe users with experience using Adobe Premiere Elements tell me if you can add descriptions, view or add location metadata to video files? I cannot find a decent place other than my iPhoto library to store movie files and add this kind of information. Sadly, iPhoto cannot be used to import any kind of movie.
I am looking for an alternative video editing app to iMovie. I was wondering if Adobe have video descriptions information. I'd like the ability to add descriptions to my videos like in iPhoto.
Many thanks,
Daniel

If there is any consideration for seeing or adding comments about source media within a project....
please check out Premiere Elements Expert workspace Project Assets/Panel Options/View with List and columns of information (can add to columns by right clicking blank space and selecting Edit Columns)....used to be you could add comments there, but no more that I have found
Also, see Markers/Timeline Marker/Set Timeline Marker/Unnumbered
After unnumbered marker is placed at the position of the Timeline Indicator, double click the Timeline unnumbered marker to obtain Marker dialog for comments/info.

Premiere Elements 12 will only render some of my footage?

Premiere Elements 12 will only allow me to render some of my footage while it won't render other footage at all. The footage it renders has a green line above it in the work space and no line is above the footage that won't render. I'm using a MacBook Pro and a LaCie external hard drive to import my footage and save my project. Any suggestions? Thank you!

1. Premiere Elements 12 on Mac. Have you updated from 12 to 12.1 yet - Help Menu/Update within a opened project? If not, please do so.
I updated to 12.1
2. What are the properties of what you are putting on the Expert workspace Timeline?
Especially, if at all, how do the properties of the files displaying no Timeline lags and stops compare to the properties of the files that are presenting with Timeline lags and stops.
All of the content is in .mov format
3. What are you or the project setting as the project preset? To confirm, please tell us what you find Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the Editing mode, Timebase, Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio readings, even if they look grayed out?
Editing mode is "HDV 1080i"
Timebase is "29.97 frames/second"
Frame size is "1440 horizontal 1080 vertical"
Pixel Aspect Ratio is "HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.33)"
4. What is the duration of the Timeline when the lags and stops begin....are these lags and stops related to the time on the Timeline or to specific files....if these problem files were moved to another part of the Timeline, would they still be problem files?
The lags and stops begin at approximately 24 seconds of the timeline, but when I move this content to another part of the timeline the lags and stops begin where this first problem file begin. The lags and stops are most likely related to specific files, however that doesn't make sense since some .mov files don't lag/stop while other .mov files do lag/stop. The files are still problem files even when moved to another part of the timeline.
5. Are there transitions applied to the Timeline content? What effects are you adding to clips?
There are no transitions applied to the timeline content. I've only added a fast-forward effect to one clip (a clip that rendered fine and doesn't lag/stop) in my project thus far.

Premiere Elements capturing video in one piece instead of clips

I am saving all of my old SVHS tapes to the computer using an ADVC-55 capture card via fire wire and Premiere Elements 12
When the video has captured the entire tape and I go to view, I have noticed that It would save the captured video in clips and other times the full video with no clips.
I have clicked on the radio button to save the captured video as clips.
To be honest, I am not entirely sure what Premiere elements does when it captures the clip.
I know it saves the whole tape as and .avi file - the file size is about 9.5GB
it does seem a bit hit and miss and I am quite new to the program.
Can anyone explain where I am going wrong.
many thanks

TD1459
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
What are your Capture settings?
Generalizing....miniDV camcorder....
If you are doing DV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 Windows Capture Window, you have the option to capture
a. the whole as DV AVI standard or widescreen, depending on how recorded
or
b. Split Scenes...under Split Scenes, you have the option of by Timecode or by Content. Then you end up with DV AVI standard or DV AVI widescreen clips.
If you are doing HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 Windows Capture Window, your options
a. the whole as MPEG2.mpeg
or
b. Split Scenes...under Split Scenes, ONLY by Content, not by Timecode. Then you end up with MPEG2.mpeg clips as many MPEG2.mpeg clips as can be detected on a Content basis.
If I recall, VHS does not have Timecode, so the Split Scenes by Timecode would not be an option and you would be dealing with DV data capture firewire with the DV AVI standard output. What does your Capture Window set show for Split Clips, Content? If so, it might be that the program is not able to analyze and detect scenes in some while it can in others.
More later.

Premiere Elements 10 Video Preview Not Working

I have all my project setting correct but when I import a clip and try to preview it all I see is a white screen. The audio plays but the video does not.
System Specs:
Quicktime 7.7
Windows 8.1 64-bit
EVGA GeForce 780 Ti
ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition
I've updated all my drivers but I can't seem to figure out what wrong in any of the other threads.
Can I please get some help with a solution?

dobilia
There is an Announcement at the top of this forum which goes to the core of this type of issue. Please check Announcement at top of this forum.
The odds are that you will need to roll back your NVIDIA GeForce 780 Ti driver version as far back as necessary to get your Premiere Elements 10 Windows working again. All the details are in the Announcement at the top of this forum. But, if you have questions or need clarification on any of this, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Again, the answer to this issue targeted at the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA user is not to update the driver to the latest version, but instead to roll it back.
Thank you.

HELP! Premiere Elements 10 Video Exporting

Hi,
I'm a new PrElements 10 user, and I am on deadline and need some help, thanks! I'm new to video so talk any help getting me through this is appreciated.
Here's the description of the project:
++ I'm making a cartoon video and am using CS5 with Premiere Elements 5.
++ It is for internet use: website, social media, YouTube.
++ I'm by importing jpegs made from .ai files in CS5. I'm not NOT shooting video or importing video into the project.
++ I'm giving the jpegs the appearance of animation by treating them through the use of FX, transitions, etc. I'm not using AfterEffects, so I cannot create animations that way.
++ The .ai files are sized in widescreen 16:9 at pixel size 800 x 450.
++ The jpegs were exported from these files with the resolution settings: 5 and 425 ppi.
I mocked up a short video using some of the jpegs to make sure the settings were right before I did the whole project. Here are the problems I'm having:
1.) the exported video is not showing in Widescreen. The video is goes all the way to the top and bottom of the screen but the ends are squashed in so the content and characters are distorted to appear taller and thinner than they should.
2.) when i change the export settings, some of them correct the problem and some of them don't. This export preset works to get it into Widescreen but the file size is huge: "MP4-H264 1920*1080p 24".
3. Which brings me to compression. Does PrE have compression to resolve this issue- is it in one of the presets- what compression should I be using? Or do I have to buy a compression program? If so, what do you recommend?
4.) Project Set-up: Is this where I went wrong? Which preset should I be using for this jpeg-driven project? How does that Project Preset affect the input settings and output settings? And should I be using jpegs or tiffs or native .ai files???
5) My project preset is HD 1080i. Is this present affecting this exporting result?
Thanks!

Premiere Elements 11 video editor crashing

Hello!
We just bought Premiere Elements 11 to make short (less than 5 min) videos for work. The program is frequently crashing while editing (happening on both computers, so I'm thinking it's either how it's been installed or the company firewall maybe). Sometimes we get a good run, but usually it crashes within 20 minutes of starting and then the crashes get more frequent (within a minute of restarting the program).
Any thoughts? It's making for a painstaking and incredibly frustrating experience for me and my colleague. We're on a government server. Plenty of RAM, Windows XP.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The program isn't standard so it's not officially supported by the IT department, but we do have one super helpful person trying to figure it out, but with no expertise in the program.
Thanks in advance!
Christine

Some pointers that could help...
I have seen Adobe apps work in my office network, and have also seen them not work. PrE does work IF all the folders it accesses have full access permissions. My understanding is that these are the folders it needs FULL access to:
1. My Documents - This should not be in a network. This should be in your local machine and you (the user who is signed in) should have full read-write access to it.
2. Scratchdisk - This is the complete set of folders mentioned in the Edit -> Preferences -> ScratchDisk section
3. User data folder. - This is the set of folders that show up when you do a Start -> Run; type in "%appdata%\Adobe" (without quotes, of course) and hit Enter.
4. ProgramData - This, I figured out by an official response in a related product forum (PsE) some years back, is where you go to when you Type in "%allusersprofile%\Adobe"
I also should have posted my problems in the forum 2 years back, but didn't. But have now have ended up learning this the hard way. There could be other folders as well that I may have missed that the forum veterans can point you to, but these are definitely mandatory. Take the access off of one of these folders and you will start seeing inexplicable behavior.
If these folders are not on network and they have full read-write access, we can safely rule out permissions as a reason for crashes. I am saying all this only because if permissions are a reason, there are no error messages given in the app or even a hint that THAT is the reason. And you being a corporate user, there can be desktop and network rules that IT may have enforced. They mandate ""monitoring" and "discipline". I think they call these "policies" (so you can speak in their language the next time ). You can also check if there is any antivirus or any other software running that blocks access to. or starts analyzing, files as soon as they are created, thereby locking them for use by the very app that created them.
Oh! RAM size does not matter if it is more than 3 GB because the OS will use only so much being 32-bit, which WinXP is mostly.
That said, the answers to questions in the previous post could lead us an entirely different path.
Happy figuring-out!

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.
