Premiere Elements 9 share settings

I'm having difficulty getting anything to render out correctly after I've finished editing it. I need general settings help that match these guidelines:
- needs to be in a format that can be used on youtube
- has to be able to handle high amounts of movement without becoming "grainy"
- the final video has to be smaller then what I started with (my test file is about 3GB of raw footage)
I usually start out with files that are either AVI or MP4. The file sizes vary but the one I've been using to test out the program on trial was 3GB and about 41mins total. I tried a few preset settings but everything either came out horrible or started getting grainy when there was too much going on. Any tips I could get would be greatly appriciated.

Ok I created 2 versions of a small 46-48 second section of the footage. The first done with Camtasia Studio 7 which looks exactly like the original footage does
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcKUtcJslmg
and the second is one of the many settings tests from the trial of elements 9 (both of which are setup in unlisted links)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72IDtLQJrFA
The main issue is I could stick with camtasia but it's so horribly limited editing wise that if I need to make any major cutting in the footage it causes the program to slow down or result in the video going black part way through. I've also tried looking through the program to find the settings it was using but all it lists is bitrate: quality and some audio settings which I'm not worried about. Some of the settings tests seemed slightly better then what happened to this one but that might just be wishful thinking. Regardless the movement demands are pretty obvious, I just don't know how to set anything up so it comes out right

  • Unable to upload entire video clip to Youtube from Premiere Elements 10, "Share" feature

    Hi all,
    I just bought Premiere Elements 10 and plan to upload video to Youtube directly from Premiere Elements 10 "Share" feature. However it always uploaded about 10 to 20 seconds of my 2 minutes video only. Then it only uploded about 20 seconds video to Youtobe successfully but not the entire video clip which is about 2 minutes.  Is there anyone face the same problem like me? Please help me on this matter. Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Ellie

    John,
    The WAB (Work Area Bar) has tripped up many, and is a common issue, when the Timeline output is truncated.
    Here is a look at the WAB (from PrE 4.0, but works the same in later versions):
    The WAB is a great tool, when one wishes to limit the Export, or perhaps the area of the Timeline that Renders. However, many do not even notice it, and fewer understand how it works, or how to use it, and it gets in their way, if something is not set properly.
    To the OP - Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Premiere Elements 7: share/export DV-PAL in FLV/QT/WMV, black bars on top/bottom

    During export (step "share", export for "PC" - sorry, if I use some wrong terms, got a german interface) of only DV-PAL video to FLV/QT/WMV there are always black bars on top/bottom of the video and the picture is wrong in aspect ratio. I can't help.
    I tried different resolutions (original 720x576, 502x402, 320x240) and, as only possible with QT/WMV, different pixel aspect ratios (PARs), even user-defined PARs and 'wrong' aspect ratios (like 512x402). No chance. (I think precise user-defined data like "1,094" is not possible, because results did not change anyhow and this value is shown as "1".) With e.g. QT, 640x512, PAR 1,067 there are black bars with 6 px each.
    My project settings must be correct I think: DV-PAL, 720x576, 4:3, 25 fps.
    DV-PAL- and MPEG-Export/Share is no problem.
    As a workaround I export DV-PAL and convert with XMediaRecode to FLV. But I want direct and clean export with PrEl. That's what I bought it for recently.
    I wonder why there are only NTSC-setting suggested in FLV-share. I have to change the size by myself.
    And I wonder why Wikipedia says PAR for DV-PAL is "1,0940" and Premiere says "1,067".
    I'm new to Premiere Elements 7 (although I got some experience with Premiere 5/6.5, FinalCut, Cinelerra ...) using Windows XP.

    I posted two videos on muvipix.com:
    WMV cable modem settings PrEl (without audio, fps like original)
    Strange: in VLC media player there are bars on the left and right (and slight faded bars on top/bottom - hope you can see) and in muvipix.com and Media Player Classic there are bars at top/bottom
    http://muvipix.com/cpg/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=17219&pos=0
    http://muvipix.com/cpg/albums/userpics/17219/Unbenannt.wmv
    FLV (no resize, without audio, fps like original)
    black bars on top/bottom, but only slight in Media Player Classic
    http://muvipix.com/cpg/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=17219&pos=1
    http://muvipix.com/cpg/albums/userpics/17219/Unbenannt.flv
    I had to deactivate sound because this is Creative Commons stuff and I don't want to give credits. And I changed fps to "like original" because 30 fps as standard in PrEl is wrong. It's PAL here.
    Thanks for your efforts.

  • Premiere Elements 12, Project settings to burn a DVD

    Hi,
    I'm a little confused about the project settings. I try to burn a DVD of 3 mpg-files. Here is a screenshot of the file info's, also one of the project settings:
    According to the file information, I think the settings are correct, though the timeline shows an orange bar.
    All files have the same informations.
    When I go to finish the project to burn it on a DVD (output setting is PAL_Dolby DVD) it takes at least 14 hours, I don't think this is normal.
    My system is a Macbook Pro, OS 10.9.1, 2.5 GHz, 16 GB RAM.
    Any ideas what is wrong here?
    Thank you in advance.
    Jessie

    Jessie
    Great news with your troubleshooting. Great job.
    Let us now look at what you wrote
    The only thing that's left now is why I'm not able to save a project when I added one of my self created menue template
    from the point of view of
    a. how you created the menu template
    and
    b. where you placed it
    Creation of the menus...
    a. What did you put in the theme folder...just the main menu .psd file and scene menu.psd file or more? What were the exact names that you gave the main menu .psd file and scene menu .psd file? What program did you use to create your menus? We will get to the Layer Set structure in the Layers Palette of the .psd file(s) next if necessary.
    b. I do not have a Mac computer so I cannot talk in terms of .psd file location in Mac. I will now talk in terms of Windows and hope that you can translate the following into the right Mac location for the theme files (assumed also .psd type).
    Local Disk C
    Program Files
    Adobe
    Adobe Premiere Elements 12
    DVD Templates
    Common
    and, in the Common Folder, create a new folder named My Specials. In the My Specials Folder create a new folder named My XXX Theme. Inside the XXX Theme Folder goes the XXX .psd files and other theme assets.
    In Windows, the menu theme (Slideshow/Pan and Zoom) that comes with the program is found in the above location. The menus that require Content download are in the Windows Program Data path that leads to the Online Folder. I do not want you to use that latter path counterpart in your Mac.
    But let me ask this basic questions...
    a. After you have placed the menu that you created in the computer, when you open Premiere Elements 12, do you see that menu in Movie Menu Display of menu choices
    b. If so, can you click on its choice, hit Continue, and have the theme appear in the Movie Menu customization area of the opened project
    c. If so, can you Preview the customized or uncustomized menu there and does it look good.
    d. When all is done, how many main menu pages and how many scene selection pages do you have?
    Let us start here, review the above, and then decide what next.
    Thank you.
    ATR
    Add On...Additional focus may be computer resources, placement of Timeline markers, and spacing between Timeline markers, as well as fine details of Layer Sets in the Layers Palette of the .psd file, whatever else you may be placing in the Theme Folder of the menu that you made yourself.

  • Premiere Elements 12 Project settings

    Does Premiere Elements 12 support 1080p video and 5.1 sound in the same project? From what I can see in the project settings I can have 1080p with stereo or 1080i with 5.1.

    VRB817964
    Unfortunately I have no access to a Mac computer and have never worked with one.
    But, there are several basic ingredients to this
    a. Premiere Elements' New Project Dialog's List of Available Project Presets
    and
    b. The .sqpreset file of an existing project preset
    If the Adobe .sqpreset files are the same independent of computer operating systems Windows vs Mac and their location is the only difference, this approach should be applicable for the Mac user.
    To put this thought to the test, can you find the following files on your Mac computer, named as
    PAL AVCHD 1080p50.sqpreset file
    or
    NTSC AVCHD 1080p60.sqpreset file
    Can you find the lines in each's Notepad document that needs to be edited according to the blog post with its Premiere Elements Windows base?
    If so, then the hoped for outcome would be to edit them as per the blog post instructions and then put the edited ones into the location where the unedited ones are found.
    To much to hope for, but worth a try. One of my goals for 2014 is to get a Mac computer.
    We will be watching for further developments.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Elements 8 Project Settings

    Using Premiere Elements 8 (trial edition), what are the correct project settings to work on mp4 files?
    My clips won't preview (appear black with audio) and in the monitor panel the clips are washed out with color.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Howard
    Please refer to attached screenshot.

    From your details, you have a Flip Ultra HD camera.....
    It would appear that your video is 1280 x 720 (16:9) with H.264 compression and (from your screenshot) a file extension of .MPEG4.
    From the history on these flip cameras and editing of their videos in Premiere Elements (even versions earlier than 8), file conversion is probably going to be your answer.
    Prism will do the job to convert your video (1280 x 720 16:9) to DV AVI, but the DV AVI will be 720 x 480 (4:3) since Prism does not do DV AVI 720 x 480 with the 16:9 flag for widescreen. But, try it anyway to see if it makes your video quality acceptable. You would save the DV AVI from Prism and bring it into Premiere Elements 8 Get Media/Files & Folders, using the Premiere Elements project preset (new project dialog) = NTSC DV Standard or Widescreen or the PAL counterpart, depending on your location. For Prism settings, see the Steve Grisetti FAQ.
    The reason that conversion to DV AVI is promoted is because DV AVI is the native format of the Premiere Elements Timeline. But....
    You could also try what I described to Corey in his thread (response #24)...this should convert your original into a .wmv instead of DV AVI. This .wmv would be 1280 x 720 16:9. You would bring the .wmv into Premiere Elements 8 Get Media/Files & Folders, using the Premiere Elements project preset (new project dialog) = NTSC HDV HDV 720p30 or its PAL counterpart, depending on your location. See Corey's thread, post #24, for all the details.
    See how you do. We can fine tune any glitches along the way if necessary.
    Any questions, just ask.

  • Premiere Elements 10 Project Settings

    What is the most appropriate "Project Settings" for using PE 10 as there are no preset AVCHD setting to property match my camera settings?
    In other words, there is no 1080p settings for 60i or PF30 in PE 10.
    I can shoot video in:
    Resolution = 1920x1080 or 1440x1080
    Frame Rate = 60i or PF30
    Codec = MPEG4-AVC/H.264
    I will use Adobe Premiere Elemebnts 10 to upload the final edited video to youtube

    If you shoot in 1920x1080 at 60i, you will be able to use the Full AVCHD 30 settings. (60i is the same thing as 30 interlaced frames per second.) Note that many multiformat camcorders also allow you the option of shooting in stereo or 5.1 audio to, so make sure you select the correct audio settings also.

  • Premiere Element 9 Project-settings...

    Hello everyone,
    I have some trouble with the project settings ( I hope its the right term, because my programm is in German).
    I don't know which setting to use with my video files captured with fraps.
    Video clip details:
    1600*838
    29 fps
    .avi
    bit rate: 480794 kBit/s
    Audio: sample rate: 44Khz
              Channels: 2 (stereo)
    I didn't find any setting fitting to my video file, and when I choose one which fits partly I can't change the settings (for instance the frame size).
    In addtion to that, my video files are blurred in the prewiew and also when the file is exported....
    Thank you very much for your help

    Well, with that odd Frame Size, about the best that you can do is to choose 1920 x 1080, Import your FRAPS footage into that Project, and then, either leave the black bars, or Scale up your Footage (Default Scale to Frame Size will do that, or you can use the Fixed Effect>Motion>Scale and possibly Motion>Position, if necessary). Scaling WILL reduce the quality, but you might be able to live with that. Only you can know.
    Now, in PrPro, one CAN Customize the Frame Size to match odd footage, but that is an entirely different program, and not inexpensive.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere Elements 7 missing project settings...

    Hi all,
    I am using Premiere Elements v7.0 with a Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder attached. I am having some issues getting my project settings to match my HDV camcorder and the HD video i want to import. When I launch Elements and the welcome screen is open, i click "new project" followed by "change settings" under project settings. From here my understanding is that I should be able to choose from multiple presets that correspond to the quality of the video i am inputing. However, when i open "change settings" it is completely blank. The settings are defaulted to NTSC-DV Standard 48khz and I can't change them. I have tried having my camcorder plugged in and turned on thinking maybe Elements needed to see my camcorder, but the list is still blank.
    If i try to get media from my HDV camcorder, i get the message "your current camera setting is different from your project settings. Results may not be optimized." After i close that error message, i am able to playback video and capture, but I am unsure if it is in high-def or not. I would think the project settings need to match the HD quality that i am importing.
    Can anyone help me with this issue? Has anyone seen or heard of this before? Thanks for your time.

    Hoorah, I have solved this problem on my machine (Intel Quad core with Vista x64 and 8GB RAM).
    I sent a support email to Adobe over a week ago but they have not even had the grace to acknowledge receipt. What an amazing way to treat customers that have paid for your product! And that's after providing screen grabs and detailed descriptions of the symptoms.
    Anyway, to the solution.
    After many attempts to install, uninstall, repair install etc with UAC turned off, Virus protection turned off and Running everything as Administrator, nothing would yield any Preset choices for new projects.
    So I did the following:
    - uninstalled my paid for version
    - downloaded and installed the Trial version from Adobe.com (670MB download) (I ran the exe to extract the files, stopped it automatically rolling into the Setup routine, right clicked on the msi file in the extracted folder and chose "Install")
    - Ran the Trial version once - all the presets were available. But I could not activate the Trial with my genuine serial number (?!)
    - uninstalled the trial version by right clicking on the msi in the extracted folder and choosing "Uninstall" - this removed most of the program but interestingly left behind a few folders in the Program Files (x86)\Adobe Premiere Elements 7 folder, in particular the "Settings" folder and all its sub-folders which is where the Project presets are stored
    - installed my paid for version by right clicking on the msi file on the DVD and choosing "Install", and entering the serial number at the start of the install routine)
    Hey presto, I have a fully functioning install with a full choice of presets.
    I have been careful to describe the exact steps I followed. I suspect that "Installing" the "msi" file has exactly the same effect as running the Setup.exe but I have no interest in going through any more installs/uninstalls to prove it! Interestingly, the "uninstall" right click against the msi to remove the trial version does not throw up any Adobe dialogue boxes - it seems to be a Windows level removal, but it leaves the vital folders behind.
    I have no idea why the trial version will not let you install the legitimate serial number - the purchased version accepts it but the Trial puts up a red cross when you enter it.
    I hope this works for others. If someone is willing to try it, it may be as simple as having a fully populated "Settings" folder present. Extracting the contents of "settings.zip" from the Trial download (it's in the CoreTemplates folder) into the following folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0\settings) may be sufficient.

  • How do I get a Premiere Elements 11 project to Revel

    In Premiere Elements 11, what format do I save a project to so I can get the video into Revel?

    dwlmgold
    Premiere Elements 11 does not have an export to Adobe Revel in its Publish+Share section as does Premiere Elements 12.
    http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/10/pe12-adobe-revel-add-mediapublishshare.html
    So for Premiere Elements 11, I would be guided by the April 23, 2014 FAQ in the Adobe Revel Forum.
    FAQ: Which file formats does Revel support?
    You could try saving the Timeline to file via
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with one of the .mp4 presets
    Then you would upload the file to your account at Adobe Revel.
    For further information about export to file your Premiere Elements 11 Timeline, I would need more information on your Premiere Elements 11 project settings and the properties of your source media. Video uploads to Adobe Revel can be problematic, so you might want to post your Adobe Revel uploading type issues in the Adobe Revel Forum. We, here in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum, can help you with your Premiere Elements 11 export to file settings for that project.

    We look forward to further details to assist you in your project.

    My guess is that these are 'Named User' licenses and not Concurrent licenses. That just means that every license has a single user and that users is expected to register. Did they just give you one DVD with the program and then 30 license keys? If so there is probably no way you will get around the registration process.

    My comments on your issue come from what I have read. Based on that, I have searched online and have not come across any Premiere Elements 10 Windows Share/Tape problems.
    If you have not already, you might want to compare what you were doing in this regard using Premiere Elements 3.0/3.0.2 (where you say it works) with the details for Premiere Elements 10 Share/Tape in the Premiere Elements 10 Help PDF.
    1. Have you reviewed the Adobe details for the Share/Tape (Record to DV tape, described in depth in the Premiere Elements 10 Help PDF (around page 279 of 309)?
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/premiereelements_10_help.pdf
    2. Have you checked your Premiere Elements 10 project settings against the camera setting?

  • Premiere Elements 12 Effects-Panel not working

    Hi there!
    I've recently updated to Elements 12 (from 10) and I am more or less happy, but since today, I can't use the effects-panel anymore. When I click any effect, the options won't pop up (see attached screenshot).
    Does anyone know what to do?
    I'm running the latest version of OS X and Premiere Elements.
    All the best!

    It seems that you have made some progress. Please compare the first screenshot, apparently before uninstall/restall. Note that all you get for Color is Hue. Whereas, in the second screenshot, apparently after uninstall/reinstall, you now have Color with Hue, Lightness, Saturation, and Vibrance.
    And, your screenshot of fx Effects/Generate/Lens Flare shows just one effect which what is to be expected. There is only one choice there. Are you saying that you cannot apply that effect to your clip?
    Baseline questions.
    Premiere Elements 12. Have you switched from 12 to the 12.1 Update via the program's Help Menu/Updates? If not, please do so.
    Are you working in the Expert workspace or Quick workspace of the program? The answer to that might cut down on the expectations.
    The Quick workspace has less choices under Adjust than the Expert. Compare

    It is well known the Premiere Elements Mac does not have all the effects of Premiere Elements Windows, but I do not think this is a Mac Windows matter. But, SG is a Mac user and can confirm that possible aspect of the matter.
    This is what I am suggesting
    After updating from 12 to 12.1
    1. Delete the Premiere Elements 12 Mac Settings File.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/preference-file-locations-photoshop-elements. html
    or
    http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/troubleshoot-damaged-projects-premiere-element s.html  (Section numbered 3).
    SG can give us some guidance on this if you have problems doing this.
    2. If that does work, then I would suggest deactivation (Sign Out) of the program, followed by uninstall, ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner), reinstall.
    https://www.piriform.com/mac/ccleaner
    By the way, do you have QuickTime installed on your computer; running program Run As Adminstrator and from User Account with Administrative Privileges? Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    How long did you work with Premiere Elements 12 before you saw this problem...the very start, never worked or it worked for a while but then did not work?
    We will be watching for further details.

  • Premiere Elements 8 - Still pictures in PE are blurred compared to original

    My system is Intel Q6600 CPU, Windows 7 64bit, 6GB memory, 1TB C: drive, 2TB E:drive, NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 video card, Premiere Elements 8, using Microsoft Office Picture manager to look at still originals.
    The Premiere Elements 8 project settings include editing mode = DVNTSC and Frame size = 720H x 480V.
    My issue is the still picture in PE is blurry compared to the picture viewed in MS Picture Manager.  The pictures are either scanned or downloaded from web pages.  Here is a list of pictures with their file size and pixels count:

    I burned a trial DVD to see if the picture quality would be better after processing onto DVD but it was not.
    What can I do to improve PE picture quality?

    Use Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to scale the pictures before you import into PreElements

    Also, do be aware that photo dpi (dots per inch) does NOT translate to video... I don't have the exact number handy, but I think a DVD resolution video is "about" 72 dpi (BluRay is higher, but since I don't do BluRay I have not even a guess at picture resolution)
