Problems importing desktop captures from Camtasia into Premiere Elements 7

I just bought Camtasia to create high quality desktop captures on my pc. When I open the saved .avi files in windows movie maker it looks crystal clear, but when I import the file into Pre Elem 7 the video quality is horrible (can't even read teh text). Can anyone help me fix this problem?
I reset my desktop size from 1200x900 to 1024x768, but it didn't help.
Thanks
Mike

Maybe something in this ARTICLE will help. Follow the link to the PrPro forum.
Good luck,

How can I import selected photos from iPhoto into Premiere Elements on the Mac?

I run Premiere Elements on a Mac (Lion O/S). I have more than 13,000 photos in iPhoto that I would like to be able to access from Premiere (to include shots relevant to the video I am compiling). How do I do this?
I also have Photoshop Elements but not yet installed it since I do not want to replicate all these photos - will consume too much hard drive space.
I look forward to your advice.
Thanks

The way I do this on my iMac : I select the required photos in iPhoto, then I export them on a specific folder I create for the video,
generally a subpart of the area where I have captured my HDV footage with Premiere Elelements.
Then, I import these specific pictures in my Premiere Elements project.
For Photoshop Elements, it has 2 parts : the organizer of your library, which requires to create a copy of your photos, and the modifier
which you can use as a complement to iPhoto only to modify your pictures with possibilities given by Photoshop.
As I have enough space on external hard drive, I use Photoshop and iPhoto to have permanently a back-up copy of my pictures.
It was my choice related to my configuration.
Bonne chance.

When importing rendered clips from davinci into premiere they look darker and more contrasty.

After importing the graded and rendered clips from davinci into premiere pro cc they look darker and more contrasty. I've checked the exported files from DaVinci and they look totally fine if you play them with any media player, but when I import them in Premiere Pro CC, they appear darker and way more contrasty than I've graded them in Resolve. Anyone have a solution for that?
Thanks!
Andrew

This is a long-standing and complicated issue. To start with, different media players interpret footage differently. You can hope for the best, but there can be no expectation that footage in one player will look the same in another. Ridiculous, but true. The situation is further aggravated by different display cards and different monitors, and no prevailing standards of how color and levels are interpreted.
In your specific case, you need to look at the waveforms, in Resolve and in PPro. It sounds as if the blacks are being crushed in PPro, which could mean you're monitoring them at 64 in Resolve, but they're being output at 0 or remapped to 0 in PP. This may also relate to whether you've monitoring with data or video levels in Resolve.
Is there a setting in PPro which covers how values are mapped, as data or video? I think so, but just can't recall.... Anybody? Staff?

Moving a group of files from Organizer into Premiere Elements 10

I've just spent two hours trying (unsuccessfully) to figure out how to use tags in Organizer to select a subset of files in an album and then send those files into Premiere Elements 10. I don't want them in the timeline, I just want to import only those files with specific tags in Organizer into a new project in Premiere Elements as media to use to create a project in Elements. I'm willing to save copies of these files into a new folder on my hard drive if that's what it takes, but I can't figure out how to do that either. Help??

In Windows do this:
Have PRE open in your blank project with the Media pane displayed.
Select your clips in Organizer.
Drag the clips over the PRE icon in the taskbar. Do NOT release the mouse button.
After a second or so PRE will display.
Still holding the mouse button move the mouse drag icon over the media panel.
Now release the mouse button and your clips will be in the project media and your timeline will be empty.
Cheers,
Neale

Importing footage from Camtasia into Premiere

I am trying to import video from camtasia studio into Premiere pro, and the footage is either extremely blurry, or does not fit the screen. I have tried to film at all kinds of different dimensions, set premiere sequence settings to all different dimensions, and nothing had worked. How do I import the footage to fit the screen and remain clear?

Decide what resolution you want to DELIVER as, and then try to configure Camtasia to record that same resolution, so that no scaling is involved. For instance, record as 1080p or 720p (1920x1080 or 1280x720 pixels). Then use a matching Sequence in Premiere. Last time I used an older version of Camtasia, it could record as an .avi or a special "CamRec" format. Use the .avi option.
What dimensions have you tried in Camtasia and Premiere? It would be very helpful if you can share your current workflow.
Thank you

Importing markers (.CSV) from Prelude into Premiere...?

Hi,
I need my client to be able to be able to annotate a clip, and then export his annotations as markers that I can then import into Premiere and add to the relevant sequence.
Prelude seems like an easy tool to use, so I've been exploring that. You can annotate the clip with comment markers, and then export as .csv file, but I can find no way to bring the markers into Premiere. Exporting an XML or a Premiere Project from Prelude is no good, because the markers come through as clip markers, but I need them to be sequence/timeline markers.
Is there a way to do this? Or another suggestion for an easy way for a client to annotate a clip, and then bring those annotations into Premiere?
Thanks,
S

Can you import a slideshow from Encore into Premiere Pro 2.0?

I would like to combine video with a slide show - as well as use some of the functions in Premiere Pro in conjunction with a slideshow created in Encore.
Is it possible to import a slide show created in Encore into Premiere Pro?

Not really, no.
It might be possible to rip a DVD with your Encore slideshow, but I don't know how well PPro would handle it, and any audio would likely have to be converted to WAV.

Cannot load media from organizer into premiere elements 9.0

I have spent the majority of the day trying to load media into a new project in premiere elements to edit the video. When I select the video and click edit in premiere elements, premiere opens but no media is available. It never loads the videos. I can review the videos including sound in elements organizer. I have a Canon Vixia HFS10, the file types were loaded directly to the harddrive of the computer as .mts. I have changed the presets for the type and that doesnt seem to help. I have updated premiere 9.0, disabled security, updated windows (vista).
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 on Windows Vista (32 or 64 bit?)
Let us try the following before we get into an extensive exchange of problem details.
Your Elements Organizer 9 .mts video that you are trying to import as media into a Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project is only a thumbnail that traces back to the source video which exists saved to a computer hard drive location.
What happens if you open a new project (with project preset set to match the properties of this particular video) and import this .mts video from the hard drive save location into the new project with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1's Get Media/Files and Folders? Does the video import into the project?
As an aside, do you have any other versions of Premiere Elements installed on your computer besides Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1? Also, is this a "it worked before, but now" or "it never worked before" problem?
We will be watching for your follow up results.
Thank you.

Exporting Music from Itunes into Premiere Elements

How can I import an audio clip into a project using Premiere Elements 10?
All the formats listed from itunes are not accepted.

Using iTunes you can convert the audio to MP3, which will work in Premiere Elements.
Unless it's copy protected, as many iTunes songs are. (Which is why I buy my music from Amazon.)
To get around copy protection you need to burn your iTunes songs as a CD and then use Windows Media Player to rip the music back to your hard drive as an MP3.
For best results, in fact, download the free program Audacity and use it to convert the MP3s to WAV files, the ideal audio format for Premiere Elements.
iTunes has been relaxing things a bit lately -- but it used to take a remarkably convoluted system to make their music usable in a video project!

Exporting from photoshop into premiere elements 8

HI,
I created a slideshow in Photoshop elements and exported it to Premiere elements 8 but none of the blank slides with text came through. The slides just look black on my sceneline. I was going to break apart the slideshow for further edits, but I'm wondering why the text doesn't show and what to do. Thx.

Can I import a Captivate 7 file into Premiere Elements 7?

Hi,
I am trying to record my screen so I produce a short explainatory video with it. I have both Premiere Elements 11 and Captivate 7, yet can't seem to open the Captivate file in PE11.
Is this impossible, or am I just being thick?
Thanks
Pat

Hi Pat
Normally what you record in Captivate you edit there. But we have many questions before a coherent answer can be provided.
How did you record? Captivate offers a sort of "stop motion" animation where each screen capture becomes a different slide and you add elements to the slides, then produce the output. It also offers a "full motion" type of capture where you end up with a single video you then edit.
Sounds like you may be using the latter.
What are you hoping to achieve by using something like Premiere Elements to make edits?
Cheers... Rick

Problem importing Help topics from FrontPage into RoboHelp

Hi there,
This is my first time here.
I am a tech. writer in my first job (I've been here a couple
of weeks).
My company has just purchsed RoboHelp, and wants to import
it's Help topics from FrontPage (which I know nothing about) into
RoboHelp (which I know a teeny bit about).
I know the other tech writer here tried to import the topics,
and had R.H. continually crash.
I am the only tech. writer here for the week (aaaggghh! lol),
and I need to know how to fix this problem.
Please, when you respond, imagine that you are taling to a
first grader , and keep the instuctions simple.
Thanks in advance,
Leigh-Anne

Hi Leigh-Anne. First off don't woory about being on your own.
We'll all been there at some point and come out the other side.
Rick asked you whether you had the project on a network
because this is the cause of so many RH problems. The underlaying
Access DB in RH doesn't work at all well there. It is highly
recommended that you work on your local PC and back up to a network
each night. You say there are two of you. If you are using the
RoboSource control features of RHX5 then you can have the project
on a network but the actual source files must be stored and changed
on your PCs.
You could try creating a new RH project and import the
FrontPage topics a few at a time. If this works, try a few more
into the RH project. Repeat this until you hit the problem. Once
you do, import the topics one at a time until you hit the problem.
This will identify the offending topic - if indeed the problem is
in a topic! Once you're there, try creating a new topic and cut and
paste the old topic's elements into the new topic. It's all a
process of elimination I'm afraid.
Try this and come back to the forum with any further problems
you find.

Problem importing canon c300 mxf files into Premiere Pro CC 2014

I recently shot some footage with a c300 at 24fps, slog2, 2 audio chanels. I copied the "contents" folder of each cf card to my macbook pro hard drive by dragging across in finder.
When I search from within Premiere Pro's media browser for my files, they show up only as VLC icons, and when I click to import them, I get an error message along the lines of 'unsupported format or damaged file".
I can double click the files in finder and they open in VLC fine.
I'm running the latest version of Prem Pro, Yosemite on my macbook pro which has 2.8ghz i-7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB graphic card.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

You could try to convert your XAVC MXF files into MPEG, then load them again , but the new codec may not be well handled by some converters.

How do I use my HDV camera to capture VCR video into Premiere Elements?

Hello all, I am trying to put VHS video into my computer. I have read that my Canon HV30 can act as an interface between my VCR and my computer. I am supposed to connect my VCR to my HV30 and my HV30 to the computer through firewire. My question is this, how do I connect my VCR to my HV30? Which port on my HV30 is a video input? It has a yellow connection named "AV/(headphones logo)", and one called "component" that looks like a mini firewire port. It also has a red connection named "mic". The other connections are the typical firewire port and such, so it cant be those.? Thanks

I'm not sure if your camcorder can work as a pass-through between your VHS and computer. Fewer and fewer camcorders have this feature.
Is your camcorder able to record input from another video source? That's kind of the test. If you camcorder can record from your VCR then it can likely also serve as a pass-through.
But, sadly, this is one of the features that camcorder manufacturers have stopped including with their cams.
