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?
I will explore what you just sent me thanks again!

Re: Premiere Elements 9 Videos Rookie Here So Speak English please? created by Bill Hunt in Premiere Elements - View the full discussion
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.

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!

Adobe Premiere Elements 12 video preview choppy

Preview video in Adobe Premiere Elements 12 is choppy and I'm unable to edit with this program. I transfered the video from a DSLR to my hard drive and then added the video from the hard drive to Adobe Premiere Elements. I don't have the same problem editing with Windows Movie Maker. I'm using a Dell Studio 15 laptop with Intel 2-core processor, 4 GB RAM and 500 GB HD. I imported video from the laptop and an external 3 TB HD. I also tried adding clips directly from the camera - a Canon EOS 70D - and it's still choppy and impossible to edit.

>meet the requirements for Adobe Premiere Elements
There have been MANY discussions here, and in the Premiere Pro forum, about Adobe's requirements
The general concensus HERE is that the Adobe marketing people want more people to buy the program, so they list MINIMUM requirements, not EFFECTIVE EDITING requirements
In the PPro area, but This message has a really good picture showing requirements

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Can't start Adobe Premiere Elements 13 video editor.

It says: "Adobe Premiere Elements 13 has stopped working" without additional details. It doesn't close, it is not frozen, but it does not work.
I tried Adobe Premiere Elements 12 (trial version) which had no problem at all on my PC. I'm using the 64 bit version on Windows 7. I've tried to re-start the pc, to uninstall PRE 12, but this does not work. I have access to the Organizer though. Has anyone manages to get PRE 13 installed?

Thanks for your follow ups.
Let us focus on Premiere Elements 13 Windows 7 64 bit computer.
Let go through the usual drill questions...
a. Does problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Is your antivirus program McAfee?
b. Are you running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges and have also selected and applied Run
As Administrator to the desktop icon of the program?
c. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer.
d. Can you open the program using the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file instead of the Adobe Premiere Elements 13.exe?
See Local Disk C\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 13\
Please consider
a. Go to Control Panel/Programs and assure that Adobe Premiere Elements 12 and 13 are not showing as installed programs.
If they are, uninstall.
b. Do a free ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts) to get rid of any leftovers from incomplete installs or uninstalls.
https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
c. Reinstall Premiere Elements 13 with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
The following is what was helpful for me when I ran into problems with Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 installs.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Premiere Elements 12 Editor Will Not Open
Depending on how the troubleshooting is progressing, you may want to consider exploring these possibilities.
We could get into video card/graphics card, etc, but your comments on your initial experience with the Premiere Elements 12 tryout
make me hesitate on exploring that aspect of the troubleshooting now.
Please review the above and then we can decide on the next course of action.
Contacting Adobe via its Adobe Chat is a possibility since you have a purchased version of the current version (13), but let us see
what we can do.

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.

Does Premiere Elements support video from Sony HDR-XR160 camcorder???

I have premiere elements 12 and I cannot get it to download video files taken with a Sony AVCHD camcorder HDR-XR160.

1001
Answers will be in the details. As a generalization, probably yes.
On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated 12 to the 12.1 Update? If not, please do so using an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
What are the properties of your source media that you are trying to import into your Premiere Elements project?
AVCHD.mts or AVCHD.mp4, 1920 x 1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second or other?
How are you trying to import files from your Sony HDR-XR160
a. Add Media/Videos from Flip or Camera/Video Importer - involves USB connection between camera and computer on which Premiere Elements is installed
or
b. Add Media/Files and Folders from the hard drive save location to where your files have been transferred from camera to computer.
Try setting the project preset manually first
NTSC AVCHD 1080p60
and then importing the 1080p60 into the project with that Add Media/Videos from Flip or Camera/Video Importer or Add Media/Files and Folders.
See details of manually setting project preset toward the bottom of the following blog
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
If your program is on a Mac computer, use the AVCHD.mp4 choice instead of the AVCHD.mts choice or convert the AVCHD.mts to
AVCHD.mp4 if your are dealing with videos already recorded.
More details will help us to help you.
Thank you.
