Premiere Elements 9 Videomerge No "Invert Selection" Option

The Premiere Elements 9 Help PDF says that there is an Invert Selection option for Effects/Video Effects/Videomerge.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WSB8CADC6B-F700-4e6d-A331-DAE949B09784. html
Yet, if you look for the Videomerge "Invert Selection" option in version 9, it is not there, whereas it is actually there in versions 7 and 8. Often Videomerge is referred to as an automatic ChromaKey (Effects/Video Effects/Keying/ChromaKey). None of the versions have the "Invert Selection" for ChromaKey. So that is not in question here.
Steve Grisetti or anyone else ever notice this and is there an explanation for what happened to "Invert Selection" for Videomerge in Premiere Elements 9?
Thanks for any input on this matter which was originally brought up by another user at another forum.

I was and am fully aware of keyframing/keyframing effects et al, Show Clip Keyframes and track content yellow line and typically all that goes with that. What I was unfamiliar with was your term "envelope" that you used to describe a Premiere Elements track feature that I had seen previously here and elsewhere for Premiere Elements only as yellow band, yellow rubberband, Opacity yellow band (for video track), or Volume yellow band (for audio track).
Your last response motivated me to look deeper into what you could be referring to as envelope and therein evolved the amazing situation to which you referred. Typically if you click drag that Opacity "yellow band" to different positions, you can adjust the Opacity of the highlighted video clip between 0 to 100% to see the value at the track level as well as in Properties Panel/Opacity Panel, That is the case even after you have applied the Videomerge effect to that clip without going near the Show Clip Keyframes/Videomerge/Invert Selection. But once you do select Invert Selection via Show Clip Keyframes/Video Merge, then, when you move the Opacity "yellow band", that Opacity "yellow band" targets at its lowest level "Invert Selection" OFF and the upper level "Invert Selection ON. Now the "Opacity" adjust (classic role of the yellow band of video track) is not doable at the track level or is it reflected in any changes in Propertes Palette/Opacity Panel for this highlighted clip.
Exploration and experimentation follows after you discover this unexpected and previously undocumented situation. And, for me, there are a lot of what if I do this or that to look into here,
I need to do the exploration and experimentation. I think I got your message fully now. If I have further misinterpreted it, please let me know.
Many thanks for posting this interesting information.

Why does Premiere Elements 10 crash when I select transitions.

Any time I try to select the transition tool the program crashes. Everything else seems to work just fine. I'm working in windows 7.

MP!
Thanks for the reply. From your description, it would appear that all you have to do is click on the Transition Tab and the program freezes/crashes.
You do not even have to select a transition.
If your video card/graphics card driver version is up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card, the card is not NVIDIA GeForce, and the problem is present in all projects, then
1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file
Local Disk C

Adobe
Premiere Elements
10.0
and in the 10.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 10.0 Folder in which
the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that
you can see the complete path cited.
2. If "1" does not resolve the problem, then go for
Uninstall the usual Control Panel way
free ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts)
CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
Reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
Any questions or need clarification on the above, please let us know.

Premiere Elements 11 won't launch at all.

I installed Premiere Elements 11 from a disk that also has Photoshop Elements. Photoshop Elements launches successfully. When I try to launch PE 11, either from the Start menu or the desktop icon, I get the round "swirl" for a moment, then it disappears and nothing happens. I also right-clicked and selected the option to run as administrator. I got the User Account Control message and I clicked OK.
I have Windows 7 Home Premium on my HP desktop. I tried to update the driver (ATI Radeon HD 5450) but it said I have the latest driver.
I appreciate any suggestions or help.

Have you answered the classical question yet, that is, do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 64 bit? And, did you right click the Premiere Elements 11 desktop icon and selected Run As Administrator.
What about deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file? Have you been there and done that?

If deleting just the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file in that 11.0 Folder does not resolve the problem, then try deleting that whole 11.0 Folder.
In all of that, make sure that you are working with Folder Options Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives on so that you can see the complete path.
Have you checked your antivirus program to make sure that it is not involved in this issue?
Have you already gone down the road where you deactivate in Help Menu/Deactivate, close out of there, and uninstall (Control Panel) and reinstall?
Have you tried launching the program from Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file in the Program Files. The desktop icon goes to Adobe Premiere Elements 11.exe which opens the program to the Welcome Screen. The Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file bypasses the Welcome Screen.

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....

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.

Clips in Premiere Elements 11

I have asked this question earlier but not sure if I had entered it into 'discussions' correctly. Question is, when I transfer video from my Canon HV20 camera into Premiere Elements I end up with one continious 'clip' rather than the actual series of clips that I created when I originally shot the video. I am trying to find out how to end up with all of the individual clips so I can do my editing in the Premiere program. Thanks.

Are you using Premiere Elements to capture your video over a FireWire connection?
Have you ensured that the time and date are correctly set in your camcorder?
When you capture in Premiere Elements, have you ensured that the option to Break by Timecode is selected in the capture workspace?

Premiere Elements 4 Crashing when Starting up

Whenever I start up Premiere Elements 4 on my Windows XP Computer, I'm always having an error that states that the program needs to close and I'm unable to open a new project file or reopen an old project file. I've already tried reinstalling and repairing the program, but I'm still experiencing the same problem. I'm not sure what I should do next or what approach I should try. This is the first time I'm having this problem.

When you uninstalled Premiere Elements 4, did you also select the option to delete your preferences? Sometimes items in the Preferences folder become corrupted or just contain erroneous data because of programming mistakes. If your preferences weren't deleted, then you can see if deleting them fixes the problem. The files are in a hidden folder in the following location
C:\documents and settings\[your Windows login name]\application data\adobe\premiere elements\4.0\
Copy everything in that folder to another location. Then delete all the files in the root of the 4.0 folder, but don't delete the subfolders. After that try starting Premiere Elements. If that doesn't work, then you can copy the files back.
Sometimes items in the cache that are stored in the registry need to be refreshed. I believe just holding down the shift key (or is it CTRL-SHIFT, or CTRL-ALT-SHIFT??) while Premiere Elements is starting up will clear the cache. The key combination seems to change with each version.
Maybe running a registry cleaner will fix it.

Select-options for time stamp

Any ideas on which data element to be used for select-options for timestamp on the screen so that a user is able to f4 help too.
i am using data element 'tzntstmps' but i am not getting f4 help for it.

Hello Trivenn
I do not think it makes sense to search for any other timestamp data element which might be part of a search help.
TZNTSTMPS = UTC Time Stamp in Short Form (YYYYMMDDhhmmss)
How could such a search help look like? A calendar control combined with some kind of "time control"?
You may facilitate the entry of time stamps in such a way that if the user enters only a date in the LOW field (e.g. 20080422 without time) you change it AT SELECTION-SCREEN (PBO of your selection screen to 20080422000000).
Correspondingly, you change a date value (e.g. 20080422) at the HIGH field into 20080422235959).
If, however, the user enters already a complete timestamp you do not change anything.

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

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.

Length of select-options in selection screen.

Hi,
I was able to give the lemgth of select-options only upto 8 characters.
Select-options :S_Mtrial for mara-matnr.
But my requirement is I want total name which is more than 8 characters.
Select-options:Material_numberl for mara-matnr.
Can any one help how to do.
Thanks in advance.

The Statement...
Select-options :S_Mtrial for mara-matnr
The selection screen length depends on the type that you are assigning to it. Since the length of type
mara-matnr is less, the selection option S_Mtrial will be displayed with short length in the selection screen.
The alternate to do this is...
selection-screen begin of line.
selection-screen comment 2(10) text-001.
select-options : <ur select option name>
selection-screen end of line.
Text element,text-001 contains the select option text to be displayed in the screen
Hope it helps.

I cannot install Adobe Premiere Elements 11

Hi, please help. I cannot install Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on my laptop, I run IE10, I disabled my Anti-Virus software and inserted the Elements DVD. I click on 'Install Adobe Premiere Elements 11', I then select 'English (United States)' from the list of languages. It then starts the 'Preparing to install' process and states that it is 'Configuring Windows Installer'. However, I then get a 'Windows Installer' text box appear, with what appears to be lots of HTML text inside. I click on 'OK' at the bottom of the box and then it just returns to the first screen again. This is very frustrating and I cannot work out what is going wrong with the installation. I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 from the same DVD with no problem

Thanks again, okay, so I click on the 'Install Adobe Premiere Elements 11' and then I select 'English (United States)' from the drop down list of languages -
The next screen shows that it is 'Preparing to install' and I see the following box -
and then finally it brings up a 'Windows Installer' box, however, when I click on 'OK' it takes me back to the first screen again -
Any help or suggestions would be mucgh appreciated becaue at the moment I feel as though I have wasted my money

Does anyone have problems upgrading Premiere Elements 12 with the latest update that will fix bugs and improve the stability of the program?

Hi there!
I can´t update my software, it starts to download and everything but when it is supposed to start the update I only get an error message.
The update is to the 12.1 version of the software and with a size of 67 MB.
The error message that I get is like follows:
"Adobe Premiere Elements 12.1-update
An error has occurred during the installation of this update. Cancel and try again later. Error code: U44M1I210"
Can anyone help me to find a solution of this problem please?
I run 64-bit version of Windows 7. (And I have the 64-bit version of Premiere Elements 12)
Best regards!

lily
Please look at the following possible Premiere Elements 12 solution for the 12 to 12.1 Update.
I am assuming that you are using Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. If others, please supply more details.
Do you have Premiere CC or any Creative Cloud products on this same computer?
Right click the Premiere Elements 12 desktop icon and select Run As Administrator. Also, assure that you are running your
computer and Premiere Elements from a User Account with Administrative Privileges.
Disable the antivirus and in particular the firewall(s).
Then open Premiere Elements 12 to Expert workspace Help Menu/Update and determine if you can Update from 12 to 12.1.
Thank you.

Inability to complete installation of Premiere Elements

Download (of Premiere Elements) went ok. I selected destination as disk D: (My computer has partitions C: and D:, plus external hard drives named K: and L:).
Extraction went ok.
Windows installer commenced. I selected language as 'English (United States)'
Error message as follows ensued:
"Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable"
How do I rectify this?

Thanks for replying, Jeff. And thanks for the link too, but that seems to deal with problems encountered AFTER the log file has been written to. The trouble I am experiencing with the installation is, I think, because the log file, for some reason, cannot be created. Regarding the disk space, C: is 856Gb with 677Gb free, D is 74.4Gb with 24.2Gb free.
I did at first select C: as the disk to use for the installation, but the installation routine warned me that this might cause me problems and suggested I choose another location, hence I opted for D:
The software downloaded and extracted ok and is now there as a folder "Adobe Premiere Elements 12" on the D: disk.
The Windows Installer starts running and I think as a first step it tries to create a log file, and this is where it is falling down.
I am not sure what you mean when you say 'customize the installation'. The install process just asked me to select where to put the downloaded software; there was no default choice indicated.

Adobe premiere elements 13 reagiert nicht

es steht schon alles wichtige im betreff.
nach kurzer zeit reagiert das programm nicht mehr. ich habe mein system fragmentiert. die ssd platte gecheckt. win 7 auf den neusten stand gebracht. elements 13 neu installiert. quicktime und reader sind auch neu...leider kann ich mit dem programm nicht arbeiten, weil es nach kurzem gebrauch nicht mehr reagiert.
zusatz-info:
wenn ich ein textfeld dubliziere, dann wirken sich die änderungen immer auf beide textfelder aus. warum ist das so?
zB ich ändere den text im dublizierten textfeld in END. das ürsprüngliche textfeld sollte START beinhalten,aber nach der änderung steht das auch END.
ich bin ratlos !

frohike
Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 (assumed 64 bit).
Did you install Premiere Elements 13 to the Local Disk C, and is the SSD drive the Local Disk C?
Are you running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges? In addition, have you right clicked
the Premiere Elements 13 desktop icon and selected and applied Run As Administrator? Please describe your
computer resources.
I did not understand the translation - so I will mention, please have installed the latest version of QuickTime on the computer with Premiere Elements 13.
What is your computer video card/graphics card according to the Device Manager/Display Adapters area? Does the computer use 1 or 2
video cards? Is the card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
Do problems exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Under Additional Information...I am not clear what you are asking...
a. When you create titles in the program's Titler, remember that two titles cannot have the same name. If they do, when you
edit one, the other with the same name will have the same edits. What you have to do in that case - in Expert workspace/Project Assets, right click the first, select Duplicate to create the second title which will automatically have a different name than the first.

Please review and consider. Please let me know where I have not targeted your question. If I have not targeted your question, please give more details to help me to understand your project situation better.

Premiere Elements 8 crashes when selecting the edit option

Hi to you all,
I just installed Premiere Elements 8 on my new system.
It is a Intel i5 + 4 GB mem, GTS250 and 400 GB of free disk space.
OS is WIndows 7 64 bits. The system is completely up-to-date with patches, fixes and so on.
BIOS, Drivers etc. All to the latest.
Starting PE8, no problem
Getting the film from my sony DV on to the disk, no problem.
Disc menu: no problem
Then when I want to add transitions or titles via the edit menu, Premiere elements 8 crashes. It is not responding anymore and windows is looking for a solution.
I followed the hints and tips on this forum on crashing Elements 8. No help. Quicktime to the latest. ended processes. All no help.
I also started PE8 in WIndows XP SP3 mode. Same problem.
Could it be the 64 bits?
Any help would be appriciated.
Richard
The Netherlands

Thank you all for the quick replies.
I installed the latest Nvidia GTS250 driver (from the Nvidia site) and guess. No crash anymore when selecting the edit menu.
My graphical card is a Asus GTS250 DK/DI/1GB and I was using the latest drivers retrieved from the asus site. Those drivers are old.
I can now continue to evaluate Premiere Elements 8.0
Thanks all.
