Premiere newbie would appreciate and be very happy for some "get-started" help

Hi
QUESTION 1
I´m a complete newbie to premiere elements. I have imported some .mts files and some .avi files from my digital HD camera....when I create a project all available move clips appear in my project to become possible to drag into my project timeline ..BUT it´s only the .avi´s that are being presented with a "snapshot image" of the clip, all .mts movies are just presented with a blue-ish standard icon and this gives me a hard time knowing exactelly which clip I should pick without having to open the movie.
I hope this is just a setting or can someone tell me why i cant spot an "image" representation from the .mts file to makes it easier to spot what the content of the file/s are ?
QUESTION 2
Can someone give me some words about how to best structure moveies and images on the file system and also "inside" elements. I have two physical disks, one large 1TB disk and one smaller 80 GB SSD disk. How should I think here...all media on the "slower" disk and only the premiere software on teh faster SSd disk ?
QUESTION 3
In the end, after editing movies, of course I would be able to present the material in the best format possible which I guess is blue-ray...but to be able to create a project that will make it possible to output a blue ray format, I have understood that I need to apply some sort of add on to my premiere installation, is that correct and if so - how can I do this and also from where do I get this add-on/plugin ?
Based upon my camera files (.mts), I would like to use my PS3 to present the finished material, can you give me some sort of step by step guidance to how to setup the project. SHould I use the .mts files and edit these, or should I perhaps convert them to something else and then make my movie ?? As you can hear I´m pretty confused about all these formats and what to do to make the end result as good as it can get
I´m not really sure about my initial recording either..I have a Canon HF10 recorder, and as far as I know to be able to get teh best quality for my "raw" material I need to use a format selection called "FXP" on the camera ? Does someone know if this is the best to use (perhaps a stupid question since i guess this will differ a lot between camera models perhaps) ?
REALLY would appreciate help on these above questions to be able to know the starting point....
Hope to get some answers that will help me up & running in a while...
Thanks
Helmut

Hunt, thanks again for your answer, I will try to look into the organizer issue
in other ways, thinking about looking into the books suggested by Steve..
Something else I guess you can guide me through though is the different formats...jsut to mention, I basically dont know a thing about different movie formats, the only thing I know is that I have a HDdigital video recorder (Canon HF10) and that the files I copy across to my machine is of this .mts format...
should I make another setting on my video camera to get another format of the files I record and the files I then transfer to my computer..remember I´m a total newbie so when you mention that you should have converted to HDV - this does not say me anything unfortunatelly....could you in any easy watell me the basic things I should know....when I created my project in premiere I was asked to select what kind of project settings I wanted to have...for this selection a number of different formats was possible and I jsut picked one of them basically wthout knowing what I was doing.....kind of frustrating since I want to make the best qualty output from my movies and also the edited output from premiere...
Is it possible to give some easily understood intro and what small things I should always do......like when selecting the project "media" or what specific setting to check that are important on the video camera itself.....what is the best/highest quality format to work with/edit to get the best output from my finished medias etc
Apprecite your help a lot
Thanks
Helmut

    I have an older version of Adobe Digital Editions (around 3 years old) and was very happy with it.
    Then I had problems with my Kobo Reader and asked a friend who works in IT to assist. She could not fix the Kobo but she messed up my Addobe. She downloaded version three and I have an account and a password - was not able to transfer my books from my reader to version three (and I don't like the lay-out - I would prefer to stay with the old version as I also loose all my download date info..)
    But all the books I have bought over the last three years are in the old Adobe Digital and I cannot access them any more. When I use it I get the message "that the document is licensed to a different account. I can't even open the books on my computer.
    When I go to my Kobo library, I cannot also not open my books and get the message "this doc is protected by adobe digital rights management and is not currently authorized for use with your adobe. please sign in with your authorized adobe id and try again"
    I believe the problem is that I do not seem to have a digital id for my old adobe or that the Kobo is not in sync with it anymore.
    can you please help me - going on vacation in three days and cannot go without books.

    Please authorize ADE 3 with same credentials that you used with older version of ADE

    Bluetooth shuttted down after I updated to Mavericks, please help me !
    I am 70 Years old and worked very happy with my iMac (21,5“ mid 2010, 3,2 GHz Intel Core 3)
    until I updated him from  SnowLeopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2.
    2 Days all was OK. Next Morning-Start he needs (until now) 3 minutes to show me a SCREEN only milky white. After that he starts like ever with all ICONS in about 1 minute. (together 4 min.)
    ..But I must notice, that I cannot make anything, because the „BLUETOOTH APPLE WIRELESS KEYBOARD  and the APPLE  MAGIC MOUSE“ doesn't work anything like before.
    I could nothing do, I must drop my APPLE only out.
    That I maked ever 10x and all was the same... (Maveriks also 4x new updated)
    I taked my Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse from the WIN-Laptop, dropped it in USB from iMAC...and in one second I could work only with this MOUSE...I buyd the Logitech COMBO K520 and all was OK now with my lovely APPLE iMAC to work with him...But without APPLE KEYBOARD and MAGIC MOUSE...and with a 4 min. -START until now.
    I  asked the EXPERTS from APPLE-SUPPORT under Tel. 0800-6645451 in Germany, became a Number, maked many Things by starting new, but the mistake after all is the same like before.
    When I look into ...Apple/ Info/System/ Hardware/ Bluetooth   ..my APPLE says: NO INFOs FOUND (Es wurden keine Informationen gefunden.)
    Under Hardware/ Diagnose : Selbsttest beim Einschalten: zuletzt ausgeführt: 15.05. 14, Ergebnis: Bestanden (that means OK) !!
    I asked many Peaple, who sold APPLE-Computers in the STORS, but they all had no IDEA, how they can help.
    I think, it could be a DRIVER when Starting the BIOS, JAVA RUNTIME a.s.o...
    Is an Expert under YOU to help me by my Problem with this iMAC ?

    dietmarfromdeu,
    if you start up your iMac in Safe mode, do you still have Bluetooth problems with your Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse?

  • Premiere Pro Does Not Support Audio-Only Capture For Some Formats, Such As HDV?

    In the PPro CS 5.5 Help file  under, "Recording audio", it says:
    "Note: To capture an audio-only file from a digital video source, choose Audio from the Capture menu in the Logging pane of the Capture panel.
    "Premiere Pro does not support audio-only capture for some formats, such as HDV."
    I'm shooting in HDV and if I want to capture audio only, would I just need to switch my setting to DV?
    The only thing is my Canon HV20's HDV audio is MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2, 16 bit, 48 kHz.
    My DV setting is PCM audio, which I think is a better quality format, right?
    Would there be any noticeable difference?
    Thanks.

    Capture your HDV material in the normal way and just drag audio only from the source monitor to the timeline.

  • WaveStudio 7.12 (and/or Audio Pack for MP3 Support) product Help files

    WaveStudio 7.2 product Help files (CTWAVE32.CHM) need to be revised to incorporate MP3 support, for those customers (like me) who have purchased the Audio Pack app for MP3 Support.
    -OR-
    Am I supposed to?just use the old WaveStudio 5.00.2 Help files (CTWave32.hlp)?
    Also, there doesn't seem to be any way of uninstalling WaveStudio 5.00.2, unless I uninstall the whole suite of Creative MediaSource software... And that doesn't seem like very much fun at all... ? So, what, should I just leave WaveStudio 5.00.2 on the machine?

    JRe: WaveStudio 7.2 (and/or Audio Pack for MP3 Support) product Help files?For anyone else experiencing this issue, the answer is:? Can't do it!? WaveStudio 5.00.20 can not be removed as a "stand-alone" application. The reason is, it's not listed as a separate program in Control Panel's Add or Remove Programs, and WaveStudio 5.00.20 has no Uninstall option.
    Furthermore, WaveStudio 7.2 doesn't seem to overwrite the earlier version (it's still there and for some odd reason, it still works).
    In order to remove the old version of WaveStudio, you must remove whichever Creative application that version of WaveStudio came bundled with.? Then, when you reinstall that application, WaveStudio 3.0 (or whatever iteration that application contained)?comes right back.
    Therefore, the answer seems to be, you have to?li've with two versions of WaveStudio on the 'puter:? 7.2?and whatever earliest version the original bundled software?came with on the Soundblaster disc. Sad, but apparently true!? So, good day!? :smileytongue:

    You can't do it from OOTB. 
    _layout folder is accessible to the users if they have read access in any of the site even subsite.
    You can modify *.aspx file, add your custom control which will check user.

    Help!
    I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?
    I paid for it so I'd really like to avoid paying again just to see this movie. Is it because it's on my iPhone? Whenever I try to click on the movie to make it play it just does nothing like it's not there. The file for the movie exists within my iTunes library files but I can't seem to click and drag it into iTunes or open it with iTunes. Need help.

  • I need some help resizing my images on PS6. I am using a mac and have been trying to resize with same resolution and constaining proportions but for some reaseon the smaller resized image appears pizelated.

    I need some help resizing my images on PS6. I am using a mac and have been trying to resize with same resolution and constaining proportions but for some reaseon the smaller resized image appears pizelated. Heres an image of before and after. The first image I use is a JPG 72dpi 1500px x1500px and I want to downsize it to 600x600px same res, but it keeps pixelating, this has never happened before. Any suggestions, thoughts?
    thanks!

    I wouldn't say pixelated; more like blurry.
    Like ConnectedCreative said, what steps are you using? Are you using "bicubic sharper" when resizing down?

    Hi Peter!
    I'm sorry to read that you are having issues with your Sync account.
    Your best bet is to follow the steps described in this blogposts and open a bug:
    https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/
    After that, if you don't want to user Sync in your computer, you can stop it with this simple steps:
    * At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
    * Once the options window opens, click on the Sync tab.
    * At the bottom of the Sync tab click on '''Deactivate this Device''' link
