Premiere elements next to other video program

Hi there,
For the moment I use Cyberlink Power Director 5 for my videos and music videos.
However I noticed that Adobe Premiere Elements has also some nice features.
I would like to know if APE can be installed next to my other video program? Sometimes a new program refuses to install because another video program is already installed on the PC.
Thanks in advance for your info.
Kind regards
Martine

The only potential problem that I see would be if one NLE overwrote the CODEC's supplied by another. As a measure to prevent this possibility, I would reserve the installation of your main NLE to the last. PE (like its "big-brother" PrPro) ships with the MainConcept CODEC's. Because of a naming convention, these are registered as different versions of the MPEG CODEC's (often causing "false-positives" with programs like Sherlock the CODEC Detective and also with G-Spot).
In the case of my workstation, PrPro was the first NLE (along with WMM) that was installed. All of the rest came afterwards, with no ill-effects. I've even had a few instances, where I had more than one open at the same time, though usually it's only Adobe programs, that are running simultaneously. I also need to point out that with the other NLE's, I have mostly versions that are maybe two back, and not the latest release of these. As they are but minor "tools" in the workflow, I do not feel the need to have the latest versions installed. The full suite of Adobe programs is the exception - though I am still on the CS2 Production Studio.
Just for general info, take a look at this LINK. It's basically geared towards Adobe Encore, but most of the caveats relate to all Adobe programs, that burn to DVD. I have Nero also installed (plus Gear DVD-Video and ImgBurn), but only the necessary modules - no InCD, and no indexing. This requires a custom installation of Nero, with the packet-writing modules NOT installed. Same for the Nero indexing and "watched folders." I have seen indications that Nero has changed their default installation from a 100% install, to having to pick and choose just what will be installed. This is good, in my book, but I cannot confirm it, as my Nero is a few generations old also.
One last caveat is to only install CODEC's, when they are necessary. I stay far away from any CODEC "packs," and also attempt to go to the developer for the original CODEC's, even when it means that I will pay for the proper CODEC, rather than get a "free" one. Some free CODEC's work fine, but some are hacked and reverse-engineered versions, that do not play nice with other CODEC's on a system. Going to the paid version of MainConcept, or DivX has always worked perfectly, so I see no reason to go with the free versions. For me, stability is my ultimate goal - I want things to work 100% of the time.
Good luck,
Hunt

I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync. They work fine when played in Quicktime.

Hello,
I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync as soon as I load it into the program. It appears to work fine in Quicktime.
Thanks in advance.

mbgoodwi
Thanks for the reply. This is the plan.
Open Premiere Elements 12/12.1 to the Expert workspace.
In the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, select the project preset
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD LITE 720p30
OK out of there. In the New Project dialog that appears, note that it has your new project preset named.
Be sure to put a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". And, then OK out of there.
Back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders to bring your video
into Project Assets. From Project Assets drag your video to the Timeline Video Track 1/Audio Track 1.
Is there an orange line over the content in the Timeline. See screenshot for orange line to which I am referring.
There should be no colored line over the content if the project preset matches the video properties. But, if you do see
that orange line, then render the Timeline content by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard or press
the Render button above the Timeline.
Do your video/audio now play back in the Edit area monitor in sync?
Please let us know the result, and then we will decide what next.
Thanks.

Please review and consider the following on detailed how to regarding obtaining the individual frames as jpegs from a video file.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/08/pe11-freeze-frames-single-or-more-than.html
The article applies to Premiere Elements 12 as well as 11.
Just in case notes
a. An important aspect of the Export to Sequence is that you create a folder beforehand to accept the huge number of Freeze Frame jpegs from video.
b. An important aspect is that you find "Image" choice in the Publish+Share/Computer choices. Users often think that there are only 3 choices there, Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD (what they can see). There are more including Image further down the list. To go down the list
use the scroll bar to the right of the list
or
click on Adobe Flash Video to select it (panel turns blue) and then use the down arrow key to move down the list.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

Premiere Elements is cutting large video imports

When I try to import a large gopro file it cuts it down to the first minute. I was hoping to get the highest quality file imported into Adobe. I can get around this by reducing the quality of the file and shortening the length in gopro studio but why am I having to use to separate programs?

123
There are several problems here, two of which are frame size and frame rate.
Next in line is your report that your import duration is less than the pre-import duration of the original.
You say that your camera is set to record 1920 x 1080 @ 48 progressive frames per second. But according
to your screenshot, the frame size is 1920 x 1440 @ 47.95. This is an atypical format for the Premiere Elements project presets.
And Premiere Elements does not have a 47.95 or 48 frames per second.frame rate.
So, if you drag and drop or use Add Media/Files and Folders, the project is going to give you automatically a 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames
per second project preset, and your footage in the Edit area monitor is going to look like
How do you account for the fact that you are shooting 1920 x 1080 @ 48 progressive frames per second and your
import properties within the project are showing 1920 x 1440 @ 47.95 progressive frames per second. My focus here
is on the frame size right now. From what I have read, your camera can record 1920 x 1440 @ 48 progressive frames per second.
The Properties screenshot, presumed from the program read of the file's properties, shows a duration of 8 minutes 32 seconds and
22 frames. What is the total duration of the file before import? Around 13 minutes?
For troubleshooting purposes, If you record at 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second, do you run into these frame size and frame rate and duration issues?
Let us further see how the program is interpreting your video. Please right click the thumbnail of the file in Expert workspace Project Assets
and select Interpret Footage. In the Interpret Footage dialog, what is listed in the Frame Rate section for frame rate of original file. And, in
the Pixel Aspect Ratio of the dialog, what is shown, Square Pixels (1.0) or something else?
I will see if I can find some GoPro Black 3 1920 x 1440 @ 48 progressive frames per second footage with which to work in Premiere Elements.
There are a lot of details to sort through. Looking forward to your help in getting at the whys so that you can move forward with your
projects.
Thanks.

Does Premiere Elements 13 Support 4K video?

Somehow my previous question disappeared. Does this program support 4K to burn to 4K Blu Rays?

351mustang
Both Premiere Elements 12 and 13 have project presets for the video with the resolution of 3840 x 2160 (a 4K resolution) under NTSC only. It also offers
export of the 3840 x 2160 resolution under Publish+Share/Computer/XAVC-S. There is no burn to Blu-ray with any 4K resolution.
Remember, that 4K is a resolution. And, the video codec from manufacturer to manufacturer can vary which impacts the question. The generalization is that
H.264.mp4 4K video is supported by Premiere Elements 12 and 13.
Project Presets, please see NTSC/AVCHD/QFHD choices
Export Opportunity to .mp4 file - please see Publish+Share/Computer/XAVC-S and its presets.
Any questions or need clarification on any of the above, please let us know.
Thank you.

Premiere Element 12 when moving video clips. HELP me Rhonda!

I am currently running Windows 7 (Professional) and I downloaded Premiere Element 12 off Tech Soup so I could make a short video for my company. I am working on a specific project and I have done a considerable amount of editing already. When I try to renegotiate the positions of various clips- an "error" message appears and then the program shuts down. Is my computer incompatible??? HELP! I don't want to lose all the work I have done. Also, I am so desperate I would be willing to buy the software all over again and put it on my mac-laptop but that would be my last resort! Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Thanks for the reply. Let us see what we can do with what you have.
When I asked about computer resources, I was asking about how much installed and available RAM the computer has, how much free hard drive space, the processor and the clock speed. Most of that you can get by right clicking the word Computer and selecting Properties.
About your alternative plans...
Your Premiere Elements 12 Windows project is not going to work on Premiere Elements Mac (whatever version)
If you export your Premiere Elements 12 project to a .mp4 file (Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with one of the .mp4 presets), you can import that into a Premiere Elements Mac project. However, that is a whole video which will need trimming to make significant further edits.
No guarantees, but your Premiere Elements 12 Windows project file should open in Premiere Elements 13 Windows. But, work with a copy of the Premiere Elements 12 Windows project as a safety net.
This is what I would like you to do.
Can you open that Premiere Elements 12 Windows project that shutdown when you were moving clips around in the Edit area of the program? If so, open to the Expert workspace. Have you placed audio transitions in the Timeline content? If so, remove them and determine if the problem is gone, is the same, or gets worse.
Also, what specific media were you moving around when the crash took place? If you can open the project, can you delete and re-import the file(s) in question? What Timeline tracks are you using and which were involved in this incident?
I am particularly interested in the answer to the last question to use the answer as a point to start the troubleshooting.
Please let me know if you need clarification on the above.
We will be watching for further developments and will keep close track of your posts.

Why does Adobe Premiere Elements 11 download my videos to my computer so slowly?

Hey guys, I have been using Adobe Premiere Elements 11, for quite some time, and I noticed that its download speed is as slow as a turtle. I know it is not my download speed, because when I download files from the internet, or games, it goes as fast as anything. Just so you have more information, I will tell you have my recording/uploading process goes. First, I record the video (Using Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 Screen Capture). Then, I would send it to my video encoder. (Microsoft Expression Encoder 4). I would then encode the video, and send that output file to Adobe Premiere Elements 11 for further editing and to download it to my computer. Now, everything up to this point takes maybe 30 minutes. But when I get to Adobe, it takes more less 3 hours (give or take a few minutes). Finally, after all that waiting, I upload it to Youtube, which takes about an hour or so. My problem is Adobe is taking far to much time to install/download the video. And as a result of that, I can only put out about a video a day. Is there any way to speed that up, or should I just get a new editing software? All feedback, and help is greatly appreciated.

Gamer
The typical ways to introduce media into Premiere Elements 11 is via AddMedia which puts the source media into Project Assets and from there you drag the contents to the Timeline Expert view edit.
These would be your choices.
You say that you used Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 and a picture from Photoshop Elements 11.
Given that you are doing screen captures with Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 and you have a photo from Photoshop Elements 11, but how are you introducing them into Premiere Elements 11? At the same time that we are looking into the how, we need to look into the what, especially for the screen captures. The video and audio formats and file extension among other things are important to the Premiere Elements workflow.
So, again I would ask you to offer answers to what I had asked
I am assuming that you are talking about the time it takes for the video to import into Project Assets for you to drag to the Timeline. Are you observing any indexing and/or conforming going on (bar at bottom right of Expert view interface) during this 3 hour await time?
Among other things, what are you using for Add Media and to get to Project Assets? And, the usual drill, what are the properties of your source media, including size and duration, video and audio compression, file extension, etc.? By comparison what is the size and duration of those Internet games et al. that seem to be transferring to your expectations?
Is this one of those issues where "it never worked before" or "it worked before but not now" specific to Adobe files of the size and duration and properties that you are focusing on?
I see the answers to all of the above as expediting the matter to get your concerns addressed.
Please review.
Thank you.

Premiere elements 10 and viewing video - avi

Hi all, I am completely baffled at the moment. I am running 2 systems, both with adobe premiere elements 10 and full content packs. I have also installed k-lite codecs pack on both machine. One is a dell i5 lptop and the other is an i7 tower. I am editing the same set of videos, I have copied a set to my desktop and have another set on my laptop. The issue is this:
On the laptop I open premiere, get media and select the avi file I want to edit, the file appears and you can see the image of the video file. It is then OK to work from and edit.
On the desktop, I open premiere, get medi and select the avi file I want to edit, the file appears but this time there is no image just the audio sign. I try to put it intot he video timeline but it only imports the audio.
I have been stumped all night. Why will it work on one machine and not the desktop?
Please can someone help me with this?
Cheers
Darryl

Will Premiere Elements edit a HD video from a 5D Mark II

Hello,
This may sound like a dumb question but I have been unable to determine it in my research so I thought I would ask. I am looking for a simple software to do minor edits on a HD video from my 5D Mark II. I really don't want to spend 500.00 on software right at the moment so I'm looking for a cheaper solution. Will Premiere Elements edit one of these videos? It seems like the Macs do the job but I don't have a Mac Any help would be appreciated.
Kim

The bigger challenge isn't just that this is Quicktime video -- it's that this is video from a still camera, which often uses non-standard codecs to create more compact video files.
You can try to convert the video to DV-AVIs using one of the free tools listed in the FAQs to the right of this forum.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0
But you definitely won't be able to edit video directly from that camera in Premiere Elements without running into lots of problems.

Premiere Elements 12: Export AVCHD video with 5.1 sound.

The source material has 5.1 sound but when try to export into AVCHD MP4/AAc 5.1 file i get the message:
Thanks !

You need to give this another look. You can create a PAL AVCHD LITE 720p50 5.1 Channel for the new project dialog choices in Premiere Elements 12 using the principles that I used in my blog for doing this for 1080p. I just did it.
This should be a quick and easy procedure. Let us see what happened in your case.
In your case, the first instruction would be to copy the file name AVCHD LITE 720p50.sqpreset file found in Premiere Elements 12 Windows 7 or 8 64 bit path of:
Local Disc C
Program Files
Adobe
Adobe Premiere Elements 12
Settings
SequencePresets
PAL
AVCHD
and in the AVCHD Folder is the AVCHD LITE 720p50.sqpreset file that you copy (paste to desktop for now).
Follow the rest of the instruction in the blog post.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-exporting-1080p50-or-1080p60-file.html
These following specific Notepad changes are the same whether the Notepad document reflects Premiere Elements 11 1080p or your Premiere Elements 12 720p.
<InitialNumberOfFiveOneTracks>3</InitialNumberOfFiveOneTracks>
<InitialNumberOfStereoTracks>3</InitialNumberOfStereoTracks>
Change to:
<InitialNumberOfFiveOneTracks>3</InitialNumberOfFiveOneTracks>
<InitialNumberOfStereoTracks>0</InitialNumberOfStereoTracks>
And where it says
<AudioChannelType>1</AudioChannelType>
Change to:
<AudioChannelType>2</AudioChannelType>
When the changes are made, are you placing a new file specifically named
AVCHD LITE 720p50 5.1 Channel.sqpreset in the correct Program Files location as per the path described....?
And, you can get a AVCHD.mp4 (720p50) 5.1 channel file from Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with the preset of MP4 HD720p50 with adjusts under the Advanced Button/Audio Tab. I just did.
I will write up the above for inclusion in my blog for 720p and obtaining a 720p 5.1 channel version of the preset.
Please review and let us know the outcome.

Premiere Elements 12 automaticly cropping video without permit.

Hi Forum
I have been editing some video with premiere elements 12 from my gopro 4 and 3 in 1080p/60fps. After editing and rendering with the f4v - hd 1080p preset and when viewing the completed movie in VLC i can notice that part of the video has been cropped away and i am missing part of my footage (Picture embedded)
This is a bit annoying seeing as the preview is showing everything on screen, so my question to you is: what can be the cause of this and how do i change it to get my full footage on the video?
Beforehand thanks for the help!

Nensebense
In your introduction to your post question you specifically mention GoPro 1080p/60fps as your source, and you say that your export from Premiere Elements is a f4v file 1080p. On viewing the screenshots you posted, I assume that the top represents the F4V display in VLC and the bottom one is a view of your source.
That source does not look to me to be 1080p60 (1920 x 1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second). It looks more like 1280 x 960 4:3. Could you confirm on that point? Does GoPro 1920 x 1080 have the same "fisheye" as does its 1280 x 960. Your screenshot seems to be display "fisheye".

Just found out DV capture has been removed from v13!
The workaround, as per the link (Adobe Premiere Elements 11 * Capture video), would then not play any sound - which I believe is another problem of v13 (No sound on playback with Premiere 13)
