Premiere Elements 9 was unusable -- working now

Just installed Premiere Elements 9 trial on my Mac, OS X 10.5.8. It's unusable. The included sound clips are not even playable. If I double click on one, a wave form pop up, pressing play doesn't do anything. Any video clips I imported are not playable either. Pressing the play button doesn't do anything.
What is going on? Did Adobe even test this software before releasing it?

>Clips coming directly from my Canon S5IS Camera: format AVI (MJPEG), 640x480 (VGA), 30fps - Preset used in PRE9: Flip Mino Ultra 30p: 640x480, 30 fps (that's the only preset I found to fit my camera clip format)
MJPEG requires a codec to work... I don't know about Mac, but over in the Win arena...
MJPG edit with Morgan or MainConcept http://www.morgan-multimedia.com/

I'm not sure, but I think the Flip preset is wrong for MJPEG

  • Premiere elements 11- PitchShifter not working?

    Pitch shifter in Premiere elements 11 is not working as good as it was in Premiere elements 7. Here's some of my issues:
    When I change the pitch, the end of the audio is cut off/out of sync
    When a clip is short, the audio won't play if it has the pitch shifter effect
    When I split a clip with pitch shifter applied, the audio skips
    I would like it if the pitchshifter would be more like the one that was in premiere elements 7.

  • Adobe premiere elements 13 has stopped working message

    Every time I open adobe premiere elements 13 and download any form of media, in about every 2-3 minutes when i'm editing my video, A message will come up stating that "Adobe Premiere Elements 13 has stopped working." It forces me to close the application. I went to a computer expert and he said that my computer meets all the requirements of the software and even exceeds some of them since it's only 2 years old. Why does this keep on happening to me and how do I fix it?

    senseimike
    Premiere Elements 13 on what computer operating system?
    Have you updated 13 to 13.1 using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
    Now the usual drill questions...
    1. Do the problems exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator?
    3. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    4. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card. According
    to the Device Manager/Display Adapters, how many video cards/graphics cards is your computer using? Are you running
    a multi- monitor system?
    5. Is the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 13/13.1?
    6. What are the properties of your source media including file extension and duration? Knowing brand/model/settings of the camera that
    recorded the videos is probably the quickest way to get at that needed information. What project preset are you (manually) or the project
    (automatically) setting?
    7. What specific edits are you doing in the project when the program crashes/shuts down? Is there any consistency to the "stopped working"?
    You talk about every 2 or 3 minutes in the workflow. But what is the size of the project by the time the problems set in....2 or 3 minutes
    from the time you started the project or 2 or 3 minutes after you have been working on the project for 10 to 90 minutes?
    Please review and consider the above, and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Premiere Elements 10 has stopped working

    Actually it has not worked yet.
    I just installed the Premiere Elements 10 -  again, followed all the details.
    My laptop is Acer Iconia 6102 dual screen touchbook
    Windows 7, Intel Core i5 CPU M480@ 2.67GHz, sys mem= 4gb
    Toshiba MK6465GSX disk drive, Intel HD Gaphics
    The computer is new.
    The dialogue says that Premiere Elements 10 has stopped working and will shut down.

    This machine has only the one drive listed, nothing hidden. 512 gb free, removed some unecessary files. I did manual updates for the hardware and all software, everything is up to date. Went through the preceeding steps. There was no need to scan suorce files, I have nothing uploaded. The program will not complete its startup. The splash page pops up,dialogue flashes all the drivers and files being loaded, then quits. Does not open. The Organizer opens, but I still cant get PE to open thru it either. My computer wont allow me to change resolution. Could the fact that this machine is touch screen, dual display have anything to do with it? Using up too much resources? The resuorce monitor is idle @ 0. My Windows Movie Maker works fine.

  • My Elements 8 was not working OK so I reinstalled it off CD. Will not install

    Elements 8 was not working OK so I reinstalled it off CD. Will not install and says installation interrupted. Try again  - OK  - no go. Also lost initial installation so I now have no Elements 8!!!

    OK.  Have you got any other Adobe products like Photoshop or Dreamweaver?  IF the answer is NO then I suggest try to use this Adobe cleaner:
    <http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html>
    This utility works very well in PSE so it is a good idea to clear the registry entries using the official tool from Adobe.
    If you have other products then PLEASE DON'T USE THIS TOOL BECAUSE THE TOOL CLEARS EVERYTHING FROM THE SYSTEM PERTAINING TO ADOBE.  (sorry about capital letters but it is essential you read it carefully)
    Good luck.

    My iPhone 5 rear camera was not working, now the rear camera is also not working. I have procured the phone in 2012 from San Fransico. USA Can anyone help me, please?

    No one here can help you. If your phone is no longer under warranty, a third-party repair shop will most likely be your best bet. You can't mail the phone to Apple, in the US, as Apple does not accept international shipments. You could mail it to a friend/relative, in the US, & they could take it to an Apple store for you. Some Apple stores repair iPhones. Otherwise, you're looking at an out of warranty replacement.
    Good luck.

  • "Adobe Premiere Elements 13 has stopped working"

    I got a copy of Premiere Elements 13 on "Black Friday" (one month ago).  I am using stabilization and sometimes get "Adobe Premiere Elements 13 has stopped working".  I have been guessing at the problem and run several experiments - one being; stabilize a clip in it's own project and create an MP4 to use in the final project.  The latest clip seems to render fine, but crashes on playback (sometimes this happened on version 12 but not so consistently and often.  I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium, with 6GB RAM, 3.30GHz, Intel Core i3 - 4 core processor.  I use two monitors with the built-in video hardware.  Rendering max's out all four cores while stabilization taxes the RAM.  Where can I look to find out more details about this problem (only guessing with anything less)?  Thanks for the help.

    Ray
    Thanks for the reply with further details and results.
    The generalization is that you (manually) or the project (automatically) sets the project preset to match the properties of the source media.
    But, if you have more than one format to import, you can still import that "atypical" format into the project (a project cannot have more than one project preset). But, the Shake Stabilizer will not stabilize it since it's properties do not match the description of the project preset. You can easily understand this by looking at the description of the project preset that has been set for the project and comparing it with specification of your video source. But, I have not yet found that such a situation creates a project/program "stopped working" as in shutting down the project/program.
    I suspect a major factor when you run into a Shake Stabilized induced project/program shutdown is computer resource demands of the feature for the video which is requiring the stabilization. And, I have found that the stabilization times can be long.
    Consequently, if the Shake Stabilizer does not cause the project/program to shutdown when asked to stabilize a video clip (without other effects). I am very guarded in the outcome, especially stabilization times, when the Shake Stabilizer is asked to stabilize a video clip to which other effects have already been applied.
    We will looking forward to your results.
    Thank you.

    Hi, I have bought Photoshop and Premiere Elements for windows, but I now have a iMac and would like to deactivate on the PC and transfer the programs to the iMac. Is that possible even do I bought it for Windows?

    Normally an Elements purchase is good for both platforms.  You should only need to download and install the Mac versions of the programs and install and activate them using the serial number you have from the opriginal purchase.

  • Premiere Elements 8 Unresponsive & Unusable

    I have received Premiere Elements 8 for reviewing and installed the package with both Photoshop & Premiere Elements on a newly installed Windows Vista Premium system. The computer has Adobe CS4 running on it with no problems so I am pretty sure it can handle Premiere 8 but does have an NVIDIA graphics card, Zotac 8800GT. This system also has Intel Quad Core Q6600 @ 2.99 GHz, 4 GB Ram and Zotac 8800 GT.
    This should easily run Premiere 8 but when I start up the program after a succesful installation and updating it does the rendering in background where I cannot use the program at all. If I do anything in Premiere Elements it will go to an opaque white like the usual not responding in Windows Vista for awhile and I cannot do anything in the program. It has not crashed but just sits in the background rendering and i cannot really use the program at all.
    The videos I have imported and tried to use in a project are small two to four minute AVI clips that I want to work with but the program takes a long time with background rendering. Is Adobe seriously saying I need to do a bunch of driver uninstall and install older ones or other things to get a less expensive video editing program to work on a known good system that I can render video and audio in using other programs with no problems.
    I review products routinely and this system along with another, Windows Vista Business, AMD Dual Core @ 3.0 Ghz 2GB Ram, does not run Premiere Elements at all without the rendering in background that I could ever get through. Both systems are fully up to date and do not have any problems running other things like Flash, Dreamweaver and other CS4 programs as well as a host of other things like TV on PC using PCI cards.
    This is a Vista program that should run fine, is anyone else having problems like this?
    I also tried disabling the background rendering and turning off the analyzer in the organizer but it does not seem to have any affect to my problems.
    Is anyone else with a Windows Vista and NVIDIA graphics card having problems like the program is rendering in background and not being able to be used in this mode until it has finished?

    "If a person wants to edit video they need DO need to grasp what a CODEC is."
    This is utter hogwash, to use a nice term. No offense meant but I think you are wrong.
    Other than the double word "need," you are totally wrong. The CODEC is the building block of video, just as ISO is for still photographs. I feel that it your aversion to CODEC's, that is clouding your impressions. Also, maybe the word "need" does need to be repeated, just not as I had done.
    As has been belabored above, the CODEC is the keystone to AV files, and hence to editing. Whether one wishes to learn the rudiments of these, or wishes to sweep them under the carpet, is their own choice. Obviously one that you have made beforehand.
    Installing Premiere Elements and importing video and editing it does not require any knowledge of what a CODEC is or even that it exists. I remember editing video when I first got a Panasonic camcorder using a simple Arcsoft editing program that came with the camera and had no clue what a CODEC was at the time.
    Again, had you read, or understood, that was easy in an earlier time - back when DV-AVI from miniDV tape was the only real way to capture video footage, and then Capture it and edit it. Nowadays, there are many different CODEC's and how they work is very important. People want to do some form of capture of YouTube material and then edit it. People want to use programs like FRAPS, or Camtasia, and then edit the footage. People want to capture footage on various cell-phone cameras, or helmet cams and edit it. All of these are very different. They need to know what a CODEC is, how it impacts the prospects of editing the resultant footage, and what they can expect. To ignore this is foolishness, and will lead to problems, regardless of which NLE is chosen.
    An NLE can only contain certain capabilities, and adoption of newer technologies (read CODEC's here) takes some time and coding. In the case of Adobe, they must first decide if a new CODEC is likely to be a big enough part of their install-base to warrant the engineering efforts. All possibilities cannot be included. Some newer ones come out, after a program is released. Some need to be incorporated in an update. Two good examples of this are the RED CODEC's and the recent Panasonic Intra-Frame CODEC's. Both were included in the recent CS4 updates.
    Why you have such aversion to CODEC's is beyond me. Again, they are the building blocks of AV files and editing. They've been around for over a decade, and will be around for more. Maybe it's time that you learn what they are, how they impact video playback, editing and then Export. To ignore them is an injustice to anyone reading your reviews. Again, were I to ignore Megapixels in a camera review, or DOF in a review of a lens, or system, or to ignore CODEC's in my reviews of an editing system, it would be a disservice to my readers.
    Now, in a perfect world, every NLE would be able to natively edit all possible sources (read CODEC's here), and all that are likely to come about over the next decade. The world is not perfect. No NLE can possibly handle even the list of CODEC's that are available at this exact moment in time.
    I do not want to get off base with arguments about CODEC's, I'm simply stating what others here have said and it does seem like the wine snob is getting off track with CODEC's.
    Again, and in my defense, these are the building blocks of digital video. To think otherwise is shear folly. To ignore them is a disservice to the readers of any review. Now, many may wish that they did not exist, but they do. They are very important, whether some wish to acknowledge that, or not.
    What would you advise a user to do, should they have the TechSmith CODEC in a source file? What would you suggest, should someone hand you a RED CODEC file? What would you intimate would be a good workflow, should someone hand you a BlackMagic CODEC file? Same for Xvid, or DivX. Same for an Panasonic Intra-Frame CODEC. What would you suggest? Oh, I can guess that it would be, "ignore the CODEC, as they are meaningless." Is that correct?
    The other programs worked with the same video so obviously my computer has the right CODEC's otherwise they would not edit the video in the other programs.
    And this proves that those other NLE's support the particular CODEC's, and that they are installed properly on your system. It does not mean that CODEC's are immaterial, as you have repeatedly suggested. The Adobe NLE's are based on a DV-AVI workflow. They make use of other CODEC's, but that does not render CODEC's moot, regardless of what you might contend. As I stated up-thread, I use CyberLink's PowerDirector for some footage, that PrE and PrPro cannot edit natively. I use that tool (and many more) to handle the CODEC's, and then Export to DV-AVI for final editing in my Adobe programs. This does not mean that the particular CODEC is immaterial, but that some NLE's either handle one better than others, or include native support for some. Adobe programs are often a bit more limited. Does this mean that they are dreck? Not in my book. I use these various programs as tools. My art comes from my camera, and my skills as an editor. I might need to use several "tools" to get me to where I can create.
    Are the Adobe programs perfect? No. Do they do a good job with the proper footage and CODEC's? Yes, at least in my book. I've had the luxury of using many different NLE's, so I have a lot of experience with other NLE's. I also have extensive experience editing 16mm and 35mm film. Maybe that makes me so grateful for digital editing. That also allows me to open my mind to what it takes to do great work nowadays. I know how it was in the film-only days. One of my films was nominated for an Academy Award, and it was edited on a six-plate Moviola deck. I cannot imagine how much better that film would have been today, edited on an NLE with digital material. One will never know.
    I am not trying to say that I don't want to know or don't care about what a CODEC is, I shouldn't have to in order to use this program. I compare the box requirements to my system, I meet or exceed them so my system should be able to edit video from a compatible camera. Video from a camera that can work in less expensive and even free programs should easily work in Premiere Elements regardless of knowing what a CODEC is.
    But that is exactly what you have said, over and over again. What you are failing to grasp is that digital video cannot exist without CODEC's. Why you choose this platform is lost on me. I've stated many examples outside of video CODEC's, but they have been lost on you.
    Just to give you a bit of background, I have 393 CODEC's installed on my workstation, and 243  (266 now) on my laptop. Why? Most are to play various files with those CODEC's. Some are for just encoding, like the HuffYUV and Lagarith, so I can transport files in a lossless format between programs. Some are so that I can edit in various NLE's. Some of these, like RealMedia, Indeo and CinePak are for older AV material, that I still may have to use. I have 4 flavors of H.264, because all CODEC's are not created equally. I also only have CODEC's from the source, and no CODEC "packs," as I want the best that I can get for me, and for my clients. Amazing! If CODEC's were not important, why on Earth would I have 393 on my workstation and 266 on my laptop? Ignore them if you wish, but you are doing a great disservice to your readers. Still, that is you choice.
    Please do not confuse the issue of CODEC's with a program that does not work as advertised for many. It seems to me that high definition video is the problem and the program may be a resource hog when it gets its hands on HD content.
    Well, since most of the recent CODEC's are for HD material, I'm not sure how you propose to separate these.
    Now, what Adobe's marketing department might state, all depends on the CODEC's involved. Maybe they should state that that some HD material will work perfectly, and that some will not. Again, this will depend on that evil word, "CODEC."
    Going back up-thread, I was taken to task, after commenting on what the "average" consumer wanted. The following statement was on what those, who DID want to edit their footage would want. That is but a small subset of the "average consumer." I find that disingenuous, at the very least. What the "average consumer" wants is to display their footage on their TV for their friends and family. The next group up wants to also post it to YouTube, or similar. Then, the next group wants to edit it - a subset of the main group. Would you not agree, now that I have broken thing out? Now, it is quite possible that a majority of your readers DO want to edit the footage, but would you not agree that a great number could care less about that aspect?
    Good luck with your reviews. I hope that you are able to get PrE running on your system and can write about it. Only suggestion that I would make would be to use files that the majority of your readers are likely to use, and report on that.

  • Unable to install Premiere Elements 11 [was: Question,]
