Resetting tools in Premiere elements 11

How do I RESET the tools in photoshop elements 11?
I am new to this.
Thanks,
Ritcheestu

At the right hand side of the Tool Options panel there is an icon of four lines and a down arrow. Click that to reset the specific, or all, tools. You can reset program preferences from Edit> Preferences> General> Reset Preferences on Next Launch.
Cheers,

Where is the razor tool in Premiere Elements 7?

Hi,
I used to edit using Premiere 6.0 and have recently updated to Elements 7.
I can not find the razor tool that I used to use to cut up sections of clips.
I have also noticed that there is no timeline in Elements 7.

You are in Sceneline mode. Click the tab at the top of the My Project panel to switch over to the more traditional Timeline mode.
There are three ways to split clips.
1) You can click on the scissors icon along the bottom of the Monitor panel to slice through the clip or clips at the position of the CTI on the timeline.
2) You can press Ctrl+k to slice through the clips at the position of the CTI.
3) You can press the C key to switch to Razor mode and slice clips on the timeline. The V key will return your cursor to Selection mode.
Since it's been a while since you've worked with a current version of the program, you may want to check out my free Basic Training tutorials at Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com.
And if you're really looking for in depth step by step instruction, you might want to check out my books, available on Amazon.com and at Muvipix.

Smart Trim Tool in Premiere Elements 12

The Smart Trim Tool does not appear on Video 1 and Audio 1 Track in the Expert mode. It sits above on Track 2. Is this normal? I am still able to trim the Video and Audio on Track 1.

Michael Stehly
From your last post, I suspect that we may be miscommunicating due to feature naming.
Smart Trim is a different feature than using the Scissors Tool which is a tab on the stem of the Timeline Indicator.
Please check out the screenshot and then let me know if I have the red arrow pointing to what you are calling Smart Trim.
Here I have set the track size as Large.
That Scissors Tool (also keyboard shortcut Ctrl K) is used to cut a selected clip where that Timeline Indicator (red stem/blue head) is positioned. The Smart Trim feature can be seen demonstrated in the following video tutorial.
https://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/using-smart-trim
After weighing all factors, I believe what you are seeing is normal.
Please review and then let us know if we are OK with the details on your side and mine.

Sharing files between Adobe Premiere Elements and Adobe Photoshop Elements

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WS72D069B5-1663-44a9-BB4E-8182DB2EE6C6. html

I suspect that this latest set of details is clouding the way to success.
Typically we would be looking at integrated Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements set. I thought that we were working with Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 which would considered an integrated set.
Let approach this from a different angle.
Have you any idea what version of Premiere Elements your project.prel came from? Reflecting back, the concept of integrated combos of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements did not appear until the combo of Photoshop Elements 5 and Premiere Elements 3.0/3.0.2. Along with that came the perk of the Premiere Elements' Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow to do just that for the slideshow that it received from the Photoshop Elements side.
Unless you have additional details that would support us getting to the goal, I think that the path of least resistance might be:
a. if you can open the project.prel in question in Premiere Elements 10, then do so.
b. After you have the slideshow on the Timeline, then use the Split Clip (Scissors Tool) to cut the slideshow at the spots where you want to insert additional pictures. You may have to add back transitions and such.
The Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow would have been perfect for you to make your edits of the slideshow in Premiere Elements. But that command is only available in Premiere Elements under certain condition:
a. You must be dealing with integrated combos of the programs, example, 5/3, 6/4, 7/7, 8/8, 9/9, 10/10, 11/11. There are a few loopholes in all that but I do not see them helping us at this time.
b. You would have had to Output the Photoshop Elements to Premiere Elements with the Photoshop Elements Slideshow Editor "Send to Premiere Elements or Edit with Premiere Elements Editor".
Bottom line: if your task is going to involve more than the version 8 combo, then I think it best to try to open the project.prel that you have and break it apart yourself with the Split Clip Tool of Premiere Elements.
And, did you say if this project.prel does open in Premiere Elements 10 without any missing media (Media Offline) messages?
We will be watching for further information and developments. Please let me know if I have misinterpreted any of your information.
Thanks.

On Macbook pro how do I reset my premiere elements 12 welcome screen back as it was to ask if existing or new project.

Hi there, on my macbook pro, can anyone tell me please how I can reset the welcome screen in Premiere Elements 12 back to how it was, were it asks to open an existing project or a new one. I made the mistake of changing the settings to open Premiere Elements editor by default but now it opens straight into a new project each time. Many thanks.

alanathome
I am strictly an Elements Windows user, but I think I am on common ground with this response. Please check it out.
Resetting of the Welcome Screen is done using the icon to which the arrow points in the screenshot.
If you cannot get to the Welcome Screen due to a prior set, then in the Open project, if you have a Window Menu, go to Window Menu/Welcome Screen.
Please let us know if that worked for you.
Thanks.

I'm using Premiere Elements 11, which automatically opens in a project window for HD. I want to reset the default for SD. How can I reset the defaul for opening a project?

I'm using Premiere Elements 11, which automatically opens in a project window for HD. I want to reset the default for SD. How can I reset the default for opening a project?

scottypet
For Premiere Elements 11 and 12, you cannot change its default project preset from NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 or its PAL counterpart PAL AVCHD Full HD1080i25 to something else.
For each project, you can set the project preset manually if you do not want the program to take over setting the project preset based
on the properties of the first drag to the Timeline.
To set the project preset manually, open the project to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, change the project preset. Before you exit that area, be sure to have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" in the new project dialog.
Then you import your source media, using the appropriate Add Media choice.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
If you want a version of Premiere Elements that uses the default project preset of NTSC DV Standard or its PAL counterpart PAL DV Standard, then you need to look to a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 11.
Please let me know if you have any further questions on this or need clarification.
Thank you.

How to reset the TOOLS in Photoshop Elements 12

    Hi everybody :
                        Every time I use the clone tool, I get the 'crosshairs" instead of the "circle".   I check in PREFERENCES to make sure I have the "circle" selected.    And I also click on RESET TOOL.   But, it seems that I have to shut down my computer, reboot, and then the CLONE Tool wiil use the "circle" to select what to copy / clone.      What could possibly be the solution to this dilemma ?
                                                                                                                                                                             Thanks

Premiere Elements 10 Hangs at Loading Importerquicktim.prm then resets

I purchased the Premiere Elements 10, and uploaded it onto my 64 bit Windows 7 computer. It opens up the screen for "organizer, new project, open project" and when selecting New Project it opens a load screen, and then closes and goes back to the main screen after it gets to "loading importerquicktime.prm"
I just downloaded the newest quicktime, and still isn't working. I have AVG security software.
Can anyone help?

Premiere elements 12 won't run

Hello.
I have an issue with my Adobe Premiere Elements 12.
Purchased bundle Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements year ago and installed with no problems.
Did not use Elements till now and when run it, it requested log in to Adobe account which I did, asked for my incense which I added but after that it started from the very beginning asking for logging in etc.
So I un-installed it and re-installed. No issues whatsoever. Then asked to provide license detail, everything ok. When pressed Accept T&C the Premiere shuts down.
When restarted the same thing happens - it asks for license then shuts down. I can't make it run.
-PremiereElements_12_LS26_win64
-Win 7 Home Premium 64bit.
Can anyone comment on this one?

Premiere Elements 13 Eyedropper for white balance, gray, and black NOT WORKING. Help!

I'm using Premiere Elements 13.1 on an iMac, and trying to adjust the white balance on a clip with ZERO success. The main reason for this is that I cannot utilize the "eyedropper" selector; I know what should appear white, gray, and black, but cannot select those items.
In the Three-Way Color Corrector there are Eyedroppers to use to specify areas of known color range. I have tried without success to select ANY of the eyedroppers...
I have clicked on it - NOTHING
I have held the left mouse on it and attempted to drag it onto the frame - NOTHING
I have right-clicked it - NOTHING
The eyedroppers are not greyed out and they do respond when clicked. I have hit Reset button galore. I have restarted the program.
I have held my mouth funny - NOTHING :-)
When my cursor is hovering over the tool, it changes to an eyedropper. If I click, nothing happens when the cursor is moved - the cursor changes right back into its regular arrow shape. The cursor does nothing to the image if an item is clicked....there is no change to anything on the monitor.
I am a longtime Photoshop user but new to Premiere Elements. This dropper seems to work nothing like the PS ones. In fact, it doesn't work at all...so far.
Can someone please tell me what I need to do to simply select the eyedropper and take it onto the image and select the white (or gray or black)??? Before I go bananas (may be too late)? THANK YOU!

Still not working. I think the root cause of the problem is the mechanics of using the tool itself; I hope this screen shot shows up below ...
Here I have APPLIED EFFECTS open, and have selected Midtones (Greys) to be expanded so that the eyedropper and other details appear:
Now, just below where it has a box and "Impacted frame area in white" (which I know is a checkbox allowing the area effected to be seen), there is a little color box and an eyedropper.
What EXACTLY do I do to select (activate) the eyedropper and subsequently tell the program what I feel should be grey in the selected clip?
As mentioned before, I can click it and the cursor briefly changes to the same shape as the eyedropper. But as soon as I move the cursor a fraction, it changes back to an arrow (normal cursor) shape. Even then, going to the area I need to select in the image, and then clicking it, does exactly nothing to the appearance of the image shown -- even if the colors start way off. No correction at all. It is as if the tool does nothing. The color wheels below all this DO work however - it's just the eyedropper that doesn't do anything. This just cannot be Adobe's intention. I am convinced there must be some flaw in how I am selecting the tool itself. And the user guide - needless to say - is worthless in explaining the mechanics.
So very frustrating. This appears to be the only thing wrong with the program - nothing else seems amiss.
NOTE: To add insult to injury, this promised white/gray/black balance feature and the three-way-color corrector is the SOLE REASON I purchased the software. Funny.

I cannot open premiere elements. i get a message saying that the program is initializing but it will not open. I uninstalled and reinstalled twice. It is a new program dvd.

Premiere Elements 7 freeze/restart

hi
we just set up a new system:
mb: gigabyte ex58-ds4
cpu: intel core i7-920
ram: 4 gigs corsair
gpu: sapphire hd 4870, 512mb gddr5
hd: 2x750 samsung on intel on-board raid 0
os: vista 64-bit business
there's newest driver for each piece of hardware, including chipset drivers, sata-raid drivers and a bios update for the mainboard. we are using a sony HDR-SR11E and recorded some full HD content. adobe photoshop elements 7 works fine. premiere elements works fine, until all the footage is copied to the local hd on the desktop.
the system totally freezes only seconds after starting to work. the error can't be reproduced exactly, no matter what i do (drag'n'drop clips to the scene view, dragging in-out-indicators or rendering), the crashes keep coming up. the only similarity is that it only crashes when something's happening, while the program is idle it doesn't crash.
by totally freezing i mean there's no kind of response, even the hd noise stops (if there was any). sometimes the system simply resets itself.
anyone else with the same kind of problems? obviously, the program can't be used the way it works now.
thx elfi

well, i feel like since it's been almost 2 months it is time for a status report. here's what i did:
- i made contact with the adobe support
- i endured the 23 step program of http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb404998
- i toiled myself through the hassle of trying different video formats
- i saw a bright light as .avi footage from my old DV-cam worked, and then got slapped in the face by simple jpegs freezing the program
- i anxiously waited for replies
- i sent several log-files to "them-who-must-not-be-named"
- i was told to use the one tool called "GSpot" to detect and eliminate codec conflicts
- i received no satisfaction by using GSpot
- i tried the application on a different 32 bit xp system without problems
- i was told, that now that the problem only occurs on 64 bit vista, i won't receive any help from the mighty support anymore, because it isn't certified for 64 bit vista
- i said: "the package claims that thee program supports vista, this includes 64 bit vista! why is there no technical support for me now?"
- they replied: "it is NOT true that vista 64 bit is not supported! PE7 just isn't CERTIFIED for 64 bit systems, thus us can give no more support as long as thou uses a 64 bit system!"
- i took the one product and threw it into the fires of mount doom
at least i'm about to. personally i think this is a total ripoff, now i have to downgrade to a 32 bit OS, which will require another 100 bucks for a new windows xp, or i switch to another tool, which requires relearning a new tool. and what if it is some incompatibility between the software and some hardware and not 64 bit related? i should pay microsoft to get support from adobe?
i'm very well aware that there can be problems with new hardware in combination with new software, but that they basically cut the support off and force me to deal with the problem by reinvesting into a downgrade is an outrage.
besides, there are quite a lot of posts on the internet from a lot of people having similar problems to mine, and yet adobe doesn't seem to release any kind of fix. from what i've heard they didn't do it for any of the older versions either.
this will definitely be my last "beta-test" for adobe, just because you are suddenly releasing programs for reasonable prices doesn't mean that they shouldn't be finished.
