Saving changes in premiere elements 10

Hi my name is Bryant and here is my problem.
I have my project done, then I create a DVD and watch it. I find changes that I want to make, so I reopen my project and make the changes to the project. I click Save. but when I create the new DVD. the changes that I made are not on the new DVD. Specifically I made font size changes in my menus because the words were to big for the text boxes. So I changed the sizes to a small size and I click the Done button, and I save the changes. I then close out Premiere and then reopen my project again, but it was back to the original font size, Not the smaller font size changes that I just saved. I don't know how to fix this problem? Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 was notorious due to many of its menu not retaining the background replacements in the finished DVD-VIDEO disc playback. The fix that we found was to add audio muted or non muted to the menu in the Disk Menus section of the program. It appears that these problems were gone in Premiere Elements 10, and I did report that at the time. From time to time, you find a menu whose buttons do not respond to the TV remote. But other than that, not much going on that is not typically explained away by overlapping objects, text maneuvers, spacing of menu markers, and related matters.
Since the project preset direct the program as to what set of the menu .psd set (s, w, or hd) will be available to you in Disc Menus, let us start with:
a. What are you setting as your Premiere Elements 10 Mac project preset? What is the size of this project as reflected in the burn to Quality Area for Space Required and Bitrate?
b. In the upper right corner of the Movie Reel menu choice is there a "HD" label or none?
c. Are you replacing background in both main and scene menus? How many scene markers, how many main menu markers, and how many stop markers and how placed?
d. When you preview the menu, are you getting any messages about object overlapping?
Let us start here and then decide what next.

Smooth jerky exposure changes in Premiere Elements 13

Folks - can anyone tell me how to smooth jerky exposure changes caused by the automatic camera settings (temporal smoothing) over a video clip? (Can't seem to find the temporal setting in Premiere Elements 13).

AndyD74
Thanks for the follow up replies.
Your Edit Menu/Project Settings/General readings suggest that you or the project have not set the correct project preset for the project. If the Canon is the major source of your Timeline content, then the project should not be 1080i (the project's default). It should be
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR [email protected]
You are going to have to go to a new project to correct that situation. You cannot change the project preset in 13/13.1 once the project preset has been established.
If the project (automatically) is not giving you the correct project preset, then you need to set it yourself (manually) before you import the source media.
File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings
In Change Settings, set for the project preset mentioned above. OK out of there.
In the New Project dialog that appears, rename the project and make sure there is a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". OK out of there.
Then in the workspace, import your source media with Add Media/
Another factor is the custom made intro that I created in Aurora3d Title Animation. What are its properties and how do they compare with those of the Canon's 1080p29.97. If you remove the Title Animation from the Timeline, do the problems disappear even with the DSLR project preset pointed to?
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

Can't find offline media for a saved project. Premiere Element 13. I'm just a novice

I'm just a novice. I've tried to open an older project and it states that media is off line. I haven't be able to get it back in order to burn another copy of the project.

Are you trying to open a project file from an older version of Premiere Elements in Premiere Elements 13?
Or, have you done a project in Premiere Elements 13, saved closed it, and now reopen it to find a lot of colorful displays
and "Where is the file _____?" messages?
Major question...forget about the project for the moment...if you go to the computer hard drive, can you spot the files
that the project is telling you are missing?
After any of these project files were saved closed, did you move, delete, or rename files and folders that went into the project?
Let us start here, and then we can decide what next and then go into a lot more details to get your project's source
media reconnect to the project.
Never hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarification.
Thank you.

Saving Changes in Photoshop Elements 9

I have trouble saving changes I make to photos in Elements 9. When I try to Save or Save As, it says the photo is 'editing in progress,' even though I am finished with the changes. How do I save the changes?

You have to also close it to free it back up in the organizer.

PSE9 - audio working correctly in PSE9 is changed by Premiere Elements 9

When I create a slide show in PSE9 I intermix photos and short movies. The movies have audio tracks. I then add audio to the slide show, ending the audio before each movie and then placing a new audio after the movie. When I send the slide show to Premiere Elements 9 to create a DVD, the audio I have ended in PSE9 continues through the movie giving me dual audio during the display of the movie and making it difficult/impossible to hear the audio for the movie.
I want my PSE9 slide show to be exactly duplicated by Premiere Elements 9. Why doesn't it do this?

You can use the sound mixer in PRE9 to adjust or fade audio levels.
However you will probably find better advice over on the Premier forum:

How to change \Adobe\Premiere Elements\12.0\Encoded Files location to another drive?

Hello. I am using Premiere Elements 12. I am not able to burn blueray disk because I have insufficient disk space. I am using SSD drive so I need to move Adobe\Premiere Elements\12.0\Encoded Files location to another drive. How can I do this?

tolppa
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on? For now, assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit....
In the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Expert workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disc and set the location for the category
named Disc Encoding.
Please let us know if that works for you.

How do I retrieve a saved video in Premiere Elements 13?

I have created a short video and saved it but am not able to find it so I can play it again----when I saved it the box said it would be located in Media but I am not able to locate it---Why must these engineers make something so simple so comlicated---I can locate my pics and saved files in documents or pictures---yea that it easy---- because I know where to look---but no----I save a video and then can not locate the vanished file---help

Open the picture file
Use one of the selection tools to select the foreground
Place the selection on its own layer (Layer>New>Layer via copy or CTRL+J) - this will be Layer 1
Delete the background layer
If you want to save it, use a file format which supports transparency, e.g.PNG

No audio on Timeline Premiere Elements 13 and no longer on 12 after upgrading to 13.

On my Mac with OS X Yosemite I've worked with Premiere Elements 12 for a while and it just worked fine. Now I;ve upgraded to Elements 13 and the clips that were fine the other day have now lost there audio when I put them on the Timeline. However if I double click the clip in project assets and play it on the clip monitor everything is fine, but as soon as I send it to the timeline or storyboard the audio disappears. I'm in a spot now as I can't use 13 and neither return to Elements 12. Any ideas will be very much apprexiated.

Ted
Momentary detour.....
Could we go over the path
Just a week ago I created a movie with Elements 12 on this same Mac with OS X Yosemite and ij
just worked fine. On second thoughts the movie was a bit too long, so I
imported the saved project to re-edit it, only to find out that the audio
had gone for the greater part of the clips on the timeline. I closed
elements 13 and reopened 12 and the saved project with the same result.
When you got to second thoughts, what did you do....
a. rebuild the project anew in Premiere Elements 13?
b. import the Premiere Elements 12 export in Premiere Elements 13?
c. open the Premiere Elements 12 project in Premiere Elements 13?
I ask since you cannot import one project file into another and you wrote "imported the saved project".
You wrote after the file was drag from Premiere Elements 13 Project Assets to Timeline
only to find out that the audio had gone for the greater part of the clips on the timeline.
What was gone - the representation of the whole audio clip on the audio track or just the sound
for the whole? Was the duration of the clip listed in Project Assets, the same as observed at
its Timeline level?
If you took this Premiere Elements 13 Timeline (problem audio there) to export, was there sound in the export?
If you create a project in an earlier version, it is often possible to open it in a later version to work with the project in the later version.
But, you cannot open the later version edited project in the earlier project again. So, I was not sure what you were describing when
you wrote
I closed elements 13 and reopened 12 and the saved project with the same result.
What saved project?
Premiere Elements 13 Audio
Please consider deleting the Media Cache Files Folder where the program saves the automatically generated conformed audio.
To locate that Folder, on Windows I could go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks/Media Cache to find location for the Media Cache Files Folder. Is that the
same for Mac?
Also, please let us know if the flawed Premiere Elements 13 Timeline audio content exports OK or contains the flaws encountered before export.
Again, please excuse if I have included things that you were already aware of. Because of the nature of your issue, I did not want to take anything for grant.

How do you change project settings on Premiere Elements 12?

I have Premiere Elements 12. When I view a DVD I created of wedding photos, the edges of people and objects are jagged and generally the photos appear blurry. On my old Premiere Elements 8, I did not have this problem - the pictures on DVDs were clear and sharp. When checking the project setting on Premiere 8, the project settings for Capture was DV which changed all my settings for General and Rendering project settings. On my new Premiere 12, the Capture setting is HDV and I cannot get the General and Rendering settings to change when I change the Capture setting to DV. The online help from Adobe says to correct this, "In the New Project dialog box, click Change Settings," but when I start a new project in Premiere 12, "Adobe Premiere Element Editor" is the only dialogue box that shows and I cannot see a change setting button. Does anyone know how I can change my project settings so that when I select DV it will change all the presets for the General and Video Rendering settings?

jacquelinebaker
The party line is that you cannot change project settings once the project settings have been set. You need to start a new project.
Edit Menu/Project Settings/General does not offer the opportunity for any significant project settings change in this type of situation.
I have discovered that, under certain circumstances, that the user can change the established project preset without starting a new project.
The approach to doing this involves editing the Notepad document of the saved closed project file (project.prel file). I have written about this in the following blog post.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-changing-project-settings-without.html
You need to weigh the pros and cons of going through the procedure or just starting a new project and start the project again.
All of the above being said, on to setting to the correct project preset to match the properties of your source media. Please refer to the issues involved and how to set manually the project preset when the program is not doing the job correctly or best automatically.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
To the specifics...if you are doing DV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 Capture Window, the scenario would be...
a. Open Premiere Elements 12 to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings. In Change Settings,
change the project preset to NTSC DV Standard or NTSC DV Widescreen depending on NTSC or PAL set up and 4:3 or 16:9 DV data source. Then before you exit that area, make sure to place a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" in
the new project dialog. Exit that area and return to the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace for your Add Media/DV Capture selection.
If you are doing HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 Capture Window, then same scenario except the project preset change involves NTSC HDV HDV 1080i30 (if NTSC). In this instance, the Edit Menu/Project Settings/General should look like

Premiere Elements 8 won't load recently saved project

I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 8 to create a highlight video. I made two videos last year and didn't have this problem but this video is slightly longer. About twenty minutes total consisting of approximately 100 video clips. I've added one more group of clips and not when I try to load the saved project I just get a gray blank screen. The load message finishes but nothing appears. The drop down menus are mostly still grayed out. No good selections except to press load project again. This causes a system error that shuts down the application. Any tips or tricks are appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave Flick

Bill, here is the good news.
I updated the Quick Time like you suggested but no help. I updated the video driver but no help. I disabled the hardware acceleration but no help. During this time I realized the problem started after I upgraded McAfee. I remembered the new McAfee Real Time scanning effected my Outlook software. So I disabled the McAfee Real Time scanning and then Premiere Elements 8 would successfully load my saved project. What a relief. I went back and Turned On the McAfee Real Time scanning but changed the setting to only scan programs and documents, not all files as previously set. I'm back in business and really appreciate your help. Thanks a million.

How do I get Streamclip AVI files that were saved without first installing Quicktime ALternative 1.81 to play in Premiere Elements 11?

I had Hi-8 "home movie" tapes transferred to mp4 files. To pull many short clips from these long files, I used MPEG Streamclip 1.2. The default save for these short clips was mp4. Either they didn't work in Adobe Premiere Elements 11 or I thought they wouldn't -- I can't recall now -- so I saved each clip as AVI. These AVI files won't play at all in Premier Elements. I Googled for advice and found that I needed to convert to Quicktime Alternate 1.81. I fear this had to be done before I saved the clips, but I didn't realize that. Still, I just now uninstalled Quicktime 7 and installed Quicktime 1.81, then tried converting the AVI clips files, first back to MP4 (didn't work at all in PE11) and then to MOV (only played audio). The AVI files play fine in Windows Media Player and VLC. All I have are the original files saved as AVI in Streamclip. Is there any way to get these to play and be editable in Premiere Elements 11? I've attached a jpeg capture of a gspot readout for one of these files. THANKS!

kidimi
Glad that you finally sorted out what you were doing and discovered DV AVI.
In your particular situation Prism would serve your purposes of generating the DV AVI 4:3 since your footage is 640 x 480. However, for others with different footage, the free Prism shortcoming is that it cannot offer DV AVI widescreen 16:9; whereas MPEG Streamclip can do the job for 16:9 as well as 4:3.
QuickTime Alternative 1.8.1 that does come with the MPEG Streamclip's required MPEG2 Playback Component (free) also meets the Premiere Elements requirement for QuickTime installed on computer with Premiere Elements to work. This works in spite of the fact that QuickTime Alternative 1.8.1 is not the latest version of the regular QuickTIme.
In post 2 of the following older thread, I detail the use of Prism (for 4:3) and MPEG Streamclip (for 4:3 and 16:9) to produce the DV AVI file.
Finished video of project looks "weird" / slightly choppy? - Elements Village
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Moving forward, do not use AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264) or H.264.avi in Premiere Elements. It is not supported.

Adobe Premiere Elements 11 file saving

I have installed Adobe Premiere Elements 11 onto my C drive.
When I edit video files I know they are large so that is why I save them to my D drive that is very large.
Even though I save my video files and finished files to my D drive Files are still being saved as well to my C drive. IT IS EATING UP ALL MY SPACE ON MY C DRIVE AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO

Major Paul,
Welcome to the forum.
I agree with Steve 100%. Much of what you are likely seeing on your C:\ are the Scratch Disks for Premiere, which are "working files." One has the option of where to locate those, in Edit>Preferences, and if you take Steve's advice of creating your Projects on your D:\ to begin with, then I would adjust the destination of all of the Scratch Disks to "Same as Project," and they will then reside on D:\, below the Project's folder in the hierarchy.
Also, there is a recent thread on Scratch Disks (though the discussion does include Photoshop's Scratch Disks, which are different) here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1156141?tstart=0
As Steve also suggests, keeping one's C:\ as clean, as is possible is a very good thing, and I could not agree more.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to change the default new project folder in Premiere Elements 13?

I keep all my projects on a different drive than the default My Documents folder. How can I change the default setting so that Premiere Elements does not try to create new projects in the My Documents\Pemiere Elements\13.0 folder? In fact, I do not want that folder to be used for anything (including layouts and styles).

steveb
Short version....
Referring to the 13.0 Folder in the Adobe Folder in documents, you wrote
In fact, I do not want that folder to be used for anything (including layouts and styles).
I do not believe that is possible.
For my best case scenario
Set the Scratch disks, not to Same As Project, but set for Custom with the set being the save location that you set for the project file.
Set the project save in, my preference, File Menu/Save As.
You are going to end up automatically with a 13.0 Folder in the Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/13.0 Folder every time you open a Premiere Elements project. No matter how many times you try to delete the 13.0 Folder. And that 13.0 Folder will contain a Layout Folder and, if you applied a Style in the project, a Styles Folder.
Longer Version....
There is no problem directing your project file to the save location of choice. You can do that two way
1. After you open the project to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/Save As to change the name of the project as well as the location for the save in order to avoid the defaults.
2. You can also do that through File Menu/New/Project.
That 13.0 Folder also gains its contents from the settings of the scratch discs in Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disc - some examples preview files, disc encoding files, conformed audio files... Some Files/Folders are placed there automatically. So what to do to keep the Documents area clear of Premiere Elements files, project or otherwise after you have move all that you thought you could to a non Adobe default location? See above best case scenario.
Miscellaneous
1. If you set the save location of the project in either of the 2 ways, that setting will not hold from project to project. It will hold for that particular project.
3. If you set the Scratch disks in Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks, those settings seem to hold from project to project as well as for in the particular project.
Stevenb, please review and consider and verify. I have gone through several scenarios on what you would prefer. But, I do not see a way to make that happen with the programming that exists.

I can't change the pan / zoom duration in Premiere Elements 13

Ok I'm getting really frustrated especially after I just watched a video tutorial which clearly shows how to do this in Premiere Elements 10 and I have JUST purchased version 13!
What I'm not able to adjust is the speed or duration between focus frames in a pan / zoom; after it's set up.
You are supposed to be able to go into the PAN TOOL, and either click on the pan duration, or in the In the Pan Time dialog, scrub the time duration to the desired value, or enter a value in the dialog box, OR simply adjust / drag the focus frame markers in the timeline (like in the video tutorial I watched...) to change the pan duration. In my software at least NONE of these work. (All these from: Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Pan and zoom to create video-like effect)
I can't click on the pan duration, well if I do nothing happens, I can't even get a Pan Time Dialog box; so I can't do it that way; and lastly I can't click and adjust the focus frame markers in the timeline....none of it works and I can hardly believe that this is correct...the only way that I can adjust the pan time, is to delete the effect completely and start it over...this can't be correct can it??
Any help would be appreciated!!!

Ok yep you are great, so I'm sorry I'm attempting to do it on video clips, not stills.
I was aware that the last versions of PE had similar Pan and Zoom workspaces, that's why I knew or thought I knew that my situation could be solved.
The first link that you recommend is exactly where I got the third paragraph of my question, so I had already reviewed that and to me when you read the directive it still makes it sound like you can adjust the focus frame markers....? (very confusing)
The second link you sent might have helped me realize that the tool doesn't work the same way for Stills and it does for Video clips; (I really think like on the Adobe web site this difference should be markedly more clear to help with confusion; but in their defense maybe it's me being slow to understand)
I was able to figure out some of the difference through perseverance last night, and did figure out (like your last link explains) that you can move the CTI and then add a new focus frame...BUT I still have my original question...how can you adjust the pan duration on a video clip after it's been made and you have left the pan and zoom tool like if you want to edit that timing... I think the answer is that you can't lol, I think it has to be deleted or a new focus frame added and the other deleted to adjust the timing...am I correct?
This quote is taken from the Adobe web site one of the links you shared
You can work with focus frames in videos the same way that you work with focus frames for images. However, only those options that are relevant to movie clips appear in the pan and zoom tool.
I think maybe the last sentence is attempting to explain that but it's just so ambiguous...
Just trying to figure it out! I do appreciate your help!

HELP!!!! Problems with saving/exporting split clips in Premiere Elements 13

I have Premiere Elements 13. I have a 2 hr mp4 file I have set up into 8 split clips and want to save each split clip as it's own mp4 file so I can import it into Adobe Presenter as video for each particular slide. I need very specific steps as how to accurately select each split clip and save it or export it as it's own mp4 file. I was given instructions that instructed me to add these gray bars around the clip I wanted to save/export but I am unable to identify how to get those gray bars to activate around the clip. When I save/export it is saving the entire 2 hr mp4 vs the individual clip.

Please do not duplicate thread since it becomes confusing to the person asking the question as well as for those trying to respond.
I have already replied to your latest request for further details on setting the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar.
Please refer to your original thread and continue the discussion there.
Elements 13 - How do you save clips
Again, there are two requirements for selectively exporting a portion of the Timeline content
a. setting the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar
and
b. having a check mark next to the Share Work Area Bar Only option in the export area.
Details are in the original thread (with screenshot).
