Preview Window in Premiere Elements 9

I was just wondering if there is a way to make a "Preview window" stay the same size after it has been closed. I have to resize this window every time I want to preview video files (make it bigger).
My screen resolution is 1680 x1050 and I work with 720p 30fps media.

Unfortunately, it always pops up in the middle of your screen!
As I say in my books, my solution is to just open it as soon as I start a project and then move it over to where I want it and leave it open. It will remain in that place as you continue to open clips as long as you're working on that project.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 to run on?
You are involved in the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue whose full details (description and fix) are included
in the Announcement at the top of this forum. Copy for your convenience below.
You gave a lot of details but did not include the computer operating system. This information may be the key whether
the known fix will work for you. The known fix requires roll back of the driver version to about May 2013. If your computer
is Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, there may not be a driver old enough to resolve the issue. This may force you consider
a Premiere Elements version other than 10 or a different video card/graphics card for your computer. This issue is
specific for Premiere Elements 10 and the NVIDIA GeForce cards.

Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
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. If this
applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary
to get rid of the problems. 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.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

Video Preview Pixilated in Premiere Elements 8.0

All of my home movies captured on MiniDV using a Panasonic PV-GS400 in Standard 4:3 are distorted in the preview video in Premiere Elements 8.0. They worked fine in PE 2.0 and were in fact captured using PE 2.0. I've verified that the Projects setting are NTSC DV Standard but the previews are still pixilated to the point that they are unrecognizable.
I know if I re-install PE 2.0 they will work fine. How do I get the previews working properly in 8.0.

Something is wrong somewhere. The capture systems for miniDV in versions 2 and 8 virtually identical. The video is not in any way changed between camcorder and computer. You can capture in version 2, version 8, Windows MovieMaker or WinDV and your AVIs will be identical.
You say you ensured that your version 8 project is set up as 4:3. I also note that you say the PREVIEW is what looks distorted.
Try taking the video in version 8 and Share/Personal Computer to save it as an AVI, WMV or MOV. Have a look at that and see if this output looks distorted.
If it, too, is distorted, we'll know there's something wrong in the program settings. If not, we'll know that something is wrong with your preview window.
Finally, you don't say if your video is squished long or squished tall, but that can make a difference too. If, for instance, your video is squished tall in your preview, note if there are black letterboxing bars along the sides. If so, the problem could be in the project settings you used to capture or even shoot the video!

Preview window in premiere 10 will not show view video images

My Premiere 10 preview window will not show video images. There has been some on-line discussion that nVidia GeForce video card automatic updates is the problem and it has been suggested that I roll back to a previous card however the rollback button does not light up and can not be activated. Also I'm not sure that I'm using the correct settings for the preview window, what are the default settings?

I recommend that you try your question in premeire forum, so you have a better chance of getting an answer.

Preview panel in Premiere Elements 10 stopped working

Hi
The preview panel on Adobe Premiere Elements 10 has stopped working.
It was working fine until a couiple of weeks ago. I'd created a film and rendered it OK but after watching decided to do a little more editing.
When I opened up the project the preview panel was just grey/blank. I move the cursor over a piece of film and just got like a snap shot.
I can hear the soundtrack but no picture.
I have tried a few suggestions from various sources as follows.
I've updated the video/display drivers (directly from the manufacturers website)
I've updated Windows for all the latest updates.
I've updated all the video players and codecs I could find on my PC.
I've updated Java.
I've done a cleanup and defrag but there is about 650 gb of freespace.
I've deleted the Bad Drivers file on a few occasions, this did give me a stuttering playback in the preview panel briefly but that has stopped again.
If I open a different window over the top of Premiere, part of that image stays in the preview panel when I close or minimise that window.
The video files I have been using have been mostly AVCHD files but these have worked fine for the last 18 months when I first installed this program.
I've tried converting files to AVI, MPEG, MPEG2, WMV etc but still nothing in the preview panel.
Totally stuck now, I've been trying to find a solution now for over a week and need to do some more editing.
I liked this program as an editor up until now but it maybe time to look for an alternative if I can't get a solution.
Kind regards and thanks in advance for any other suggestions

That was good news that you have Premiere Elements 10 and Intel video card and not NVIDIA. To date, a certain display issue has been specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose computer uses a NVIDIA video card.
I think it best if you started your own thread on your display issue since your details can take us in an assortment of directions depending on the details.
We need to determine that your Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset Family display card driver is up to date.
That information might be obtained from the following Intel web site
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Graphics&Product Line=Laptop+graphics+drivers&ProductProduct=Mobile+Intel%C2%AE+945GM+Express+Chipset+Famil y
or
This information might be obtained from the HP web site.
2. If you determine that your video card driver is up to date, then you can try deleting the Premiere Elements 10 BadDrivers.txt file. Once you have deleted it and opened a new project, the BadDrivers.txt file will be replaced with a new one. For that we would need to know what computer operating system your computer is running on so that we can give you the correct path to the BadDrivers.txt file.
It is important that at the onset you do a mini test run export to determine if what you are seeing as display problem in Edit is reflected in your export.
We will be watching for further developments. Details are important. If you have problems finding the details, we will help you with that.
Thanks.

How can I adjust the clip speed in the editing window of Premiere Elements 11?

In former versions of Premiere Elements I could change the function while pushing the corner of a clip in the editing window: it was not cutting only, but I could also use it to adjust the speed of a clip (clicked the clock icon, after that the speed of a clip was adjusted perfectly).
But in Premiere Elements 11 this funktion seems to have gone: Now the timeline in the editing window seems to have the cutting function only!
Yes, I still can use the function "prolong time" (or whatever it is called in English, I use the German version), but in this I just can guess what percentage would fit and it's a very hard "try & error" part to get it right. In the former version the speed was adjusted "automatically" to fit the duration the clip needs – that was way more comfortable.
So, is this function really gone? I couldn't emagine why! Or how is this done now?
Couldn't find any post or video, explaning how to do that now.
No: The new "time zone" feature is not the same: it's not adjusting the needed speed rate automatically.
And by the way: There is a bug in that fuction: When I once added a new time zone, I can't remove it – clicking "set back" (or reset) doesn't do anything, the time zone stays where it is and is not deleted at all! I'm using a Windows 7 Ultimate system (64 bit) ...
I really would appreceate if someone could tell me how to adjust the clip speed perfectly to the needed duration of a clip!
Thanks in advance!

SG
An interesting point that you point out
"However, the drag-to-size method of adjusting Time Stretch has indeed been removed from version 11."
I am assuming that you are referring to an earlier version of Premiere Elements, having a Time Stretch icon (clock icon) above the Timeline to select, and then perhaps, with the mouse cursor, dragging on the end of the video clip to increase its duration. The keyboard shortcut to select the "clock icon" in thar instance is X. If you look at Premiere Elements 11 Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization/Windows/Timeline Window/, you will mysteriously find "Time Stretch Tool" command with a keyboard shortcut X. And, if you look at Premiere Elements 11 Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization/Applications/Time Stretch, you will find "Time Stretch" with a keyboard shortcut Ctrl+R. Bottom line: I have not gotten the keyboard shortcut X to work in Premiere Elements 11 in this regard, but the Ctrl+R does to bring up the Time Stretch dialog to do the job.
In accord with this business of what is and what isn't...the good old Razor Tool. That disappeared from sight a long time ago. Yet users were able to use that in later versions using the keyboard shortcut C. Now for me that "C" does not work to change the mouse cursor to a razor for clip splitting at the Timeline level in Premiere Elements 11 in spite of the fact that Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization/Windows/Timeline Window continues to show Razor Tool command with keyboard shortcut C.
On the good news side of things, if one trims a clip in the Preview Window, one is still able to drag that trimmed clip to the Timeline (Expert view) and drag it out on either of its edges with the mouse cursor to recover the whole clip. And, the mouse cursor is still going to be that red ] with a double edged black horizontal arrow going through it.

How to set up user account in Windows 7/Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1?

At the present time I have only the Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit operating system which works from a User Account with Adminstrative Privileges when it comes to using Premiere Elements.
I have read that in Windows 7, the default user account is one with standard rights. My first question is, when using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 in general in a Windows 7 32 or 64 bit environment, do you have to elevate the user account to one with adminstrative rights and, if so, how?
My second question is, is there anything in the Windows 7 user account setup that would specifically target the Premiere Elements Project Archiver/Archiver "Trimmed" as well as Copy options to abort with the message "no user privileges to perform this operation"? The rest of the program performs OK. Supposedly inadequate hard drive space is not a factor.
Thanks for any insights into these two questions.
ATR

SG
Just an update to the question that I presented when I started this thread.
You really never did say what type of a User Account you are using in your Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7? But based on the information provided by several users, User Account with Administrative Rights seems to be the way to go since all of them were using it and had systems that were running well. I would have expected that based on the Premiere Elements Windows XP requirements. I have yet to have someone come forward to say that they are using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 with a User Account with Standard Rights and the program is running well. Will you be that one?
Besides me switching from Windows XP to Windows 7 in the near future, what motivated this line of questioning was the report that I had seen of a user with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1on Windows 7 who was reporting "permission" error messages when trying to archive a project with the Project Archiver (Archiver "Trimmed" and Copy options). Further questioning brought out that the problem extended to the AutoSave feature as well. The user claimed to be saving to an external hard drive (formatted NTFS) with about 800 MB free space. And still further questioning brought out that the error message included a free space and/or permissions error. Yes, there were extremely large file sizes involved here (way over 4 GB)
The story had a happy ending where the remedies were:
1. User Account with Administrative Rights
and the major
2. Formatting the thought to be NTFS external hard drive from FAT32 to NTFS.

Premiere Elements 7: Toggle Take Audio and Video

In Premiere Elements 2, when you dragged a video/audio clip into the "Clip" section of the Monitor, there was an icon at the bottom right of the Monitor named "Toggle Take Audio and Video". There were three variations from using that icon, just video dragged from Monitor "Clip" section, just audio dragged from Monitor "Clip" section or video and audio dragged from the Monitor 'Clip" section. At times, a Shift + S could be used in place of clicking that icon under the Monitor.
In Premiere Elements 4 and 7, I see no such icon for the intended use of just taking video without its audio to the Premiere Elements Timeline. If you go to Premiere Elements 4 or 7, Edit Menu/Keyboard Shortcuts/Application/Help, there is a shortcut there for "Toggle Take Audio and Video", "Take Video", and "Take Audio". If I use Shift +S for any one of them, I cannot get them to function.
I realize that the Preview Window of Premiere Elements 4 and 7 has taken on many of the functions of the Monitor "Clip" arrangement. But, I have tried Shift + S toggling with both the Premiere Elements 4 and 7 from the program's Monitor, Preview Window, Project View Media section without any of that working to bring just video or just audio to the Premiere Elements Timeline.
Does that feature still work in versions of Premiere Elements beyond Premiere Elements 2?
I would appreciate any comments on the matter.
ATR

Robert J. Johnston,
Thank you so much.
I have been laboring for hours trying to get these keyboard shortcuts to work in Premiere Elements 4 and 7. My reasoning was why would they be there if they did not work and I must be overlooking something critical.

Transferring Premiere Elements 12 files from Mac to Windows

I am adminstrating an oral history project. We have several people who will be editing using Premiere Elements 12.
The computers will be Macs and Windows.
We need to be able to transfer project files and completed movies between both types of computers.
Fats32 is limited because files can only be 4G and the raw files are about an hour and the finished file will be able 13-15GB
NTFS can only be read by MACs and written by Windows
HFS+ only written and read by MACs
Any suggestions for what media can be used to transfer and this is another big questions will a ac file be readable by windows and visa-versa
Thank you for your suggestions

I am strictly an Elements Windows person but, taking that out of the equation, I would go Windows.
Premiere Elements Windows and Mac are essentially the same in video editing principles, but there are differences between the two. And, these differences often end up with Premiere Elements Mac on the short side...many Windows Only features.
A while back I wrote a blog post on Mac Information Round Up to try to focus in on the Premiere Elements Mac situation. That blog post link is
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/08/pe11-mac-information-round-up.html
Included in the blog post is a long list of WIndows Only Effects. The most annoying Windows Only for the Mac people appears to be related to the Green Screening Key, Blue Screen Key, Chroma Key. I propose the use of the Difference Matte for Premiere Elements Mac users as mentioned in the blog post.
And, the Elements Organizer in Premiere Elements Windows does come with a slideshow feature.
If you are going to go Windows, best have Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer so that it is a 64 bit application which can take advantage of the 64 bit resources. Check me on this, but I am almost certain that Premiere Elements Mac needs to be on 64 bit, but also with 64 bit processor in order for it to be a 64 bit application.
If there are to be "flaws" in the program, they are more likely to be troubleshooted to resolution in Premiere Elements Windows than Premiere Elements Mac. Versions of Premiere Elements Mac purchased from the Mac App Store have been highly problematic, and the cause(s) often left unresolved.
That is my take on the matter.

How do I install premiere elements 3.0 into windows 7

Premiere elements 3.0 will not install with windows 7 home premium why?

main old man
Why? You should know why since I suspect you are getting constant pop ups of "this program is not compatible" with...."
Are you installing the program from installation files from an online download purchase or from a installation disc from box packaging of the product?
Lots of ifs including an issue with MPEG2 Activation, but give it a try. With antivirus and firewall(s) disabled, try to install the program on your Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. If it does install, then follow up with the download and installation of the 3.0.2 Update.
Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0.2 update
Try to ignore any discouraging " this program is not compatible" messages, and keep going with the installation until you are positively blocked from moving forward. Persistence may win out.
I do not recall that Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit supporting the integration of the Windows XP Mode as does Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. So, that route is out for Premiere Elements 3.0/3.0.2 installation involving Windows 7 64 bit.
Please review and consider and then we can compare details.
Thanks.

Opening Premiere Elements (9) projects make under Windows on Mac

Hi,
I've switched from PC to Mac. I copy my projects of Premiere Elements (9) on my new Mac. After re-installing Adobe Premiere Elements 9, I can't open my projects. I recieve this message "The projetct is not compatible with the current version of Premier Elements" (in french "Le projet n'est pas compatible avec la version actuelle de Premiere Elements"). Why? There is a way to open my projects made in my old PC to my new Mac?
Thank's

BalooRuf
Classically you cannot open a project (project.prel file) created in Premiere Elements Windows in Premiere Elements installed on a Mac computer. And, the reverse is also true.
You can export your Premiere Elements Windows Timeline content to a .mov and .mp4 file, and then be expected to transfer that file to Premiere Elements Mac. Does that work for you? I have never heard of anyone finding an alternative.

Adobe Premiere Elements 11 - install on new computer

I have previously purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 11 and have the serial number available. How do I install it on a new computer using the serial number?

jzd
The important question is "Is this Premiere Elements 11 Mac or Windows?" If Mac, did you purchase it as the Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Editor from the Mac App Store?
If it is Premiere Elements 11 Windows or Premiere Elements 11 Mac from Adobe, then you can download installation files at this late date from the following web site and then insert your purchased serial number during installation.
http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
If you do decide to go this route, make sure that you read Note: Very Important Instructions on that web site page, otherwise you will run into an Access Denied message.

Edit column issue in Premiere Elements 9

Is there an issue with the Edit Column feature in the project window of Premiere Elements 9?
When I add a Description or Comment column, changes are not saved when I close and reopen the program.
Also, I cannot write any text in these columns to describe my videos (if I click on the space for writing comments, it just opens up a window to view the video) whereas I was able to do it with version 4 and earlier.
I am using the trial version before buying and would like to know if the purchased version has this problem or not and if it can be fixed?

I could be mis-remembering, but I think that Steve Grisetti has confirmed about what you indicate. I do not know if this was some sort of change in Adobe's thinking, and they did not clean up after themselves, or if this is just a Bug, that needs to be addressed.
Personally, I would file a Bug Report, with the full details, and hope to get a fix in the works.
Also, if I am mis-remembering, I am sure that Steve G. will correct me.
Good luck,
Hunt

Horizontal Lines while Capturing video in Premiere Elements 12

Problem:
I have a Sony DCR-TRV80 where video is captured on Mini DV tape. It connects to my PC via FireWire. PC has i7 CPU, Win 7 64bit. 8gig ram, raid 0 hard disks, nvidia video card. Lots of hard disk space.
When I capture video, as it is captured, I get horizontal lines whenever there is motion (either a subject is moving OR the camera is moving). This is seen in the capture window of Premiere Elements 12
The Project Settings:
I have tried several but the one that does not give me a warning is DV Standard 48khz & DV Widescreen 48khz. Both setting details show them as being interlaced (frame rate of 29.97 & size of 720h 480v).
Additionally, I have tried several other Project Settings and still get the same result.
What I See:
When I am capturing the video, I see the horizontal lines. When I output the image, I still get the horizontal lines (all seen on my PC).
My goal:
To capture my videos and have them at high quality so I can edit them to show on my TV to the family. I also would like to be able to see them on the PC without the annoying (and dizzying) horizontal lines.
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

I looked at the manuals, etc. from Sony and could not find out much about the output of the camcorder. So best I can tell from your posts, the Sony DCR-TRV80/ Mini DV tape is interlaced natively.
I then did an output to a DVD and played it on my TV/DVD and no interlacing (actually minimal) was apartment.
I was unable to output to YouTube since it would only do it if it also uploaded the video to YouTube which I did not want to do.
So I outputted to AVCHD which seemed to be progressive output. The horizontal lines were definitely much less but still noticeable especially if I make the player larger.
I am just struggling with what I thought as high quality camcorder and prosumer program that I can not see it nicely on the computer or at something a bit larger than a tiny thing.
What can I try to check into this? I am glad to do whatever it takes on my end to learn or correct what I am doing.

Premiere Elements 9 technical problem - please help

Hello,
I have very serious problem with my Premiere Elements 9 for Mac.
This program is turning off over and over again.
I have started to prepare my new project and during the playback oraz during the operations on texts Premiere turns off very often.
It wasn't huge problem for me because I was using save very often but the main problem is that now I can not create any DVD nor export this project to any video file because during the encoding process Premiere is turning off again (usually between 65-95% of the process of encoding)
I tried to open this project on my PC with Windows with Premiere Elements 7 but 7 shows this file is not compatibile with previous version. So I installed ver. 9 on Windows (I bought Mac/Windows) and again Premiere Elements 9 for Windows has shown that my mac file is not compatibile??
I was trying to find any bug fix files on Internet but I haven't found.
Can anybody help me? It's 4 pm here and I need to burn my dvds invitation of my son's birthday for tomorrow and I have stucked.
Here are some additional information:
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 Mac/Windows edition (seperate installing dvds) - legally purchased
Latest MacOs - orignal
No external codecs
No illigal programms
Only legal software
I will appreciate you help.
Kind regards,
Tom
p.s. I use Premiere Elements for few years so I know what to do or wat to click to export file or create DVD

Ha!!!
I found the source of problem
I mentioned that my problems have started when I had added text so I removed all text made by Elements text tool (I noticed that after rendering these object was still with red line instead of green).
So now everything is ok so I'll prepare all texts as a psd transparent files and it will be great
So it is Adobe's error - I hope they will prepare some fix for it.
Anyway, thank you guys for help and support.
I hope I'll finish my project this night because two unsleeping nights are to much for me
Take care,
Tom
