Slide show or Premiere?

I did a childrens' book awhile back. I could make it into a slide show with narration and even music with Elements slide show. What if I wanted movement? Say, a character rising off the page and jumping to the next page, with the page turning back into a static page again (just an example). Would this involve using the Elements/Premier package,or something more complex (Dreamweaver)? If so, I should have jumped on the 99.00 deal I saw for Elements/Premier before I bought Elements. Thanks!

That sounds like a job for Flash [which of course is now owned by Adobe].

Burning a DVD slide show on Premiere Elements 8.0

I am trying to burn a slide show on Premiere Elements 8, but when I try to save the slide show before burning my computer crashes. I've got Windows 7. My understanding is that Premiere Elements 7 and Photoshop Elements 7 do not work with Windows 7. I had both of those programs, and got Premiere and Elements 8 to remedy the problem to no avail. My computer still won't save the slide show. Any hints? Thanks.

As per my understanding, you created a slideshow in PSE organizer and now want to burn into DVD using Output dialog which launches PRE...
Which application crashes and at which step??
Through PSE you can output the video into PDF or Video...

Newbe requests help with audio for slide-show on Premiere Elements 4.

I recently wrote you regarding a problem I was having with a slide show I was making on Premiere Elements 4 importing photo clips and music from PhotoShop Elements 9. Thank you for your help.
This very large slide show, some 200 clips that I have not resized is completed. I am now having many problems with the music audio I am adding to various sequences of the slide show. Specifically:the audio will not stay fixed on the places where I put it and end it. Working on the Timeline Usually the length of the audio is shorter than the ending of the photo clips where it must go. I click on the audio and stretch it and end it at the place I designate. However, the other end has moved also so now I am left with a gap where there is no audio at the beginning of the segment. Now in addition, the "Delete and Close Gap" does not work most of the time causing me to manually move the photo tiles which sometimes move when this happens. I have to move each one or two individually to the left to close the gap and many times this causes loss of one or two photo tiles or they are out of order or have increase in number (of the one I am moving).
The program has also shut down for the past 10 days causing me to lose a good deal of work and sometimes photo clips and sometimes I get many duplicates of the photo clips. All I do is edit mostly the same two segments doing this over and over because I can't proceed to importing any more music because I can't get the first segments correct. I have chatted with you people, Sony techs, Microsoft Techs and Canon Techs. The Sony techs suggested the program was at fault and I used the original installation disk and repaired the program. It has still shut down on me but not as much.
I got error messages on the photo-cap instructions page you suggessted otherwise I would show pictures of the above problems.
I tried to copy and/or cut and paste from the Timeline thinking I would start a new slide show in PhotoShop Elements 9 using the same photos in reverse. The program would not let me copy or paste. There is great difficulty in highlighting the photo tiles in Timeline because I have to shift click on each individual tile and there are too many tiles and it would take too long to get a whole segment copied. Maybe you know another way to do this?
I am at a stand-still now and I am quite despondent because I have been working on this slide-show for 3 months and it was a surprise for my daughter's 25th anniversary that was last Tuesday.
I do hope you have some good suggestions that will lelt me complete this Project and get it on a disk. I am not that technical so please be specific.
Thanks in advance.

Here's the basic advice I'd give, based on my experience. Much depends, though, on your goals and the specifics of your computer system:
1) Resize all of your photos to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size. This is VITAL if you want the program to maintain stability as you work. Also render often (by pressing the Enter key). When the render, the red lines above the clips on your timeline will turn green and the program will run much more efficiently.
2) Work on your large slideshow project in shorter segments. You've got over 15 minutes worth of slides. Try working on this slideshow in 5 minute segments, output each segment and then combined the finished videos.
3) Use only WAV audio as your music and audio for your slideshow.
4) When you add video, audio or stills to a parallel track on your timeline, hold down the Ctrl key to override the ripple function and your current clips will remain in place.
5) Maintain your computer by using a tool like the excellent, free, one-click Advanced System Care available at http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html
As for Delete and Close Gap, how it performs depends on whether you've selected Clear or Delete, whether you've pressed the Backspace key or the Delete key and if there is video or audio on a parallel track. (This is all covered in my books, by the way, if you're interested.)
Without knowing the specifics of your project and your situation, it's hard to give out more specific information -- but this advice should get you a long way toward completing your project!

Problems w/ buring DVD of photo slide show & best Premiere Elements 8 upgrade recommendation please.

I created a video slide show in Adobe Photoshop & Premiere elements 8, kept getting messages: "disk space low, exceeded recommended #of slides and/or recommended 30 minute duration". So what, I want a 90 minutes slide slow?(!) It allowed me to complete, but disk burn would never finalize (after stopping at 78% 8 hours later). How do I get this project file to burn in Nero or something similar and is there better software out there? I have a ton of videos to create after this photo slide show & I certainly can't wait all night for a video to burn after it is created.
PS: I have had this problem w/ previous videos I created. i.e. in the past, using same Premiere Elements version, I have combined multiple video clips into one DVD movie but it took all night to burn. Any insight will be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
I agree with John T., in that the pixel x pixel size of the Still Images would be the first thing that I would look into.
Next, I interpret that error message to be related to the available HDD space. His links on furnishing more info will be important there. Pay special attention to furnishing the full specs. of your I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, available defragmented free-space, controller type and how you have them allocated.
A 90 min. DVD should NOT be over the avilable space on a DVD-5 disc.
If you DO have adequate defragmented free-space on your HDD(s), you should be able to Burn to Folder, and then use Nero, Roxio or the great, free ImgBurn, to do the physical burn to DVD.
However, if you have limited defragmented free-space, that will likely fail, as the working files required are very large.
In very general terms, PrE needs between 40 - 60GB of defragmented free-space, just to run effectively and efficiently. When one does either a Burn to Folder, or Burn to Disc, that necessary space can go up.
Also remember that as one approaches about 70% of HDD capacity, performance decreases. As one nears 100%, performance can slow to a crawl, and at 100% catastrophic failure of the HDD is a strong possibility. One should not exceed about 70%, and NEVER go to 100%.
Good luck, and please let us know more, and especially about your I/O sub-system.

Created a slide show in Premiere Pro and the picture quality changed.

I worked on a group of pictures in Adobe photo shop and in Adobe Premiere Pro created a slide show with music.
When I play the video the resolution is poor but when I stop playing the pictures become crystal clear again! Help!

As shooternz stated, there is a Wrench Icon next to the Program Monitor.
Click on it, go to Playback Resolution and make sure it is set to "Full"

Premiere Elements 11 Slide Show Resolution Issue

Whenever I make a slide show using Premiere Elements 11, it significantly reduces the resolution of my pictures. How do I fix this?

Pat
A workflow for you to explore....
Premiere Elements 11 presumed on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit in a NTSC setup
1. Batch crop/resize your photos to 1920 x 1080 16:9
2. Open Premiere Elements 11 its Expert workspace
Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings
In Change Settings, set the project preset to
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p30 @29.97
In the new project dialog that you see immediately before closing out of that area, make sure to have a check
mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project".
3. Back in the Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets to import your 100
photos into the project. (You can arrange your photos in order in a folder and then import the folder into the
project. When your drag that folder from Project Assets to the Timeline, the folder disappears and you have
all your photos on the Timeline in order. In your naming of the files, you might want to consider 0001 to 0100.
4. When it comes to export...
For 856 x 480 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second (when the video is stretch for display after encoding)
Publish+Share
Disc
DVD disc
with preset = NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD
For 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second - plays on Blu-ray or multimedia player, not DVD player
Publish+Share
Disc
AVCHD disc (this is going to be for DVD disc)
with preset = H.264 1920 x 1080i NTSC Dolby
For 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second - plays on Blu-ray or multimedia player, not DVD player
Publish+Share
Disc
Blu-ray (this is going to be for Blu-ray disc)
with preset = H.264 1920 x 1080i NTSC Dolby
The Premiere Elements 11 project preset which is the same for all of the outputs, gives the sharpest end product
photos at the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc level. Photo clarity should be the major perk of what is described above.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

Poor resolution of slide show on CD

Created slide show in Photoshop Elements 5.0 and burned to CD. Resolution was poor and it did not play in a DVD player. Sales person insisted bundle of Photoshop Elements 8.0 and Premier 8 would allow me to create a DVD. Tried editing my Elements 8.0 slideshow in Premiere. Playback "stuck" and resolution poor. Saw forum where I should "render" the slide show. My 10 minute slide show took 6 1/2 hours to render and then the whole thing crashed and it still isn't rendered. Decided to try building the slide show in Premiere. Cannot sync my music to the slide show (so it all ends at the same time) and have found nothing to tell me how. Decided to go back and try to burn the CD in Photoshop 8.0 as these are Christmas gifts. Resolution is so bad I would be embarrassed to give it. Have called Adobe support and held for 20 minutes before giving up and sent an email to support a week and half ago and have not had a response. Can anyone help? Right now I'd just be happy to give the CD slide show in a decent resolution from elements.

I can't help you with the premiere elements problems, but VCD is an innately horrible format. You should be able to burn a regular video dvd by outputting your PSE slideshow as a WMV file and sending it to PRE to do the dvd authoring, or by using whatever dvd writing software came with your burner.
There is no such thing as a decent quality, reliably-playing VCD, unfortunately. They're always awful.

Blurry/Pixilated Slide Show

I have created a slide show in Photoshop Elements 10. I clicked on output to send it to Premiere Elements 10 because my pictures were blurry/pixilated when I viewed them in full screen preview, but were not blurry/pixilated in the screen above the timeline.
Once I had my slide show in Premiere, I finished making edits, created a DVD menu for it and went to burn it to a DVD. None of the pictures were blurry in the screen above the sceneline. When I got to the burn DVD menu, I unchecked the box "fit to available space" and slid the quality slider all the way to the right. Most of the pictures were fine, but some are still blurry/pixilated.
Why is this happening and how can I correct it? Please provided details as I am still new to Premiere Elements.

Asking the same question twice is unlikely to get you a better response. These are community forums where we're all just users trying to help each other out. If you require urgent attention to your problem you should go directly to paid Adobe support (click their icon at the top of any page).

What is the simplest way to create slide show

What is the simplest way to create a slide show ? (Premiere Elements 12)

saploe
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Premiere Elements 12 Mac does not have a Slideshow option in its Elements Organizer 12. So, that situation would not yield the two choices of creating the slideshow in the Elements Organizer and taking it into Premiere Elements OR doing the whole project solely in Premiere Elements.
What is going into this slideshow....photos (how many, original pixel dimensions), videos (formats and duration), etc?
What is a description of your computer resources?
How do you intent to export this slideshow...
a. burn to DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc
b. burn to AVCHD format on DVD disc
c. burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc
d. to file saved to the computer hard drive?
We will customize a reply based on the information that you supply.

Premiere Elements 7 crashes on creating slide show

Hi Gurus,
I use Premiere Elements 7 for about 2 years and it works fine when I need to create a film from set of video fragments.
But I also need to create slide shows from pictires.
For some reason PRE7 crashs on building such slide show (at least, this is valid for a long enough slide show). It happens not always on the same slide, but approximately at the same percentage of the slide show to be built.
I run PRE7 on Windows XP, SP3 32-bit
What may be a reason of this crash? Conflict with some other software, installed on my computer? Lacking resources (I have 4 GBytes of memory, but Win 32-bit uses only 3.25 GBytes)? Known bug?
I tried to install the trial version of PRE9, but the result was even worse: it crashed even more quickly than PRE7. i.e. less slides were processed before the crash.
Any suggestion that can help to solve this issue will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ilia

If you can handle smaller numbers of large images, but not larger numbers, it is likely a resource issue. It could be RAM, Virtual Memory, or similar.
This ARTICLE might be helpful for setting up your computer for an editing session, and freeing as many resources, as is possible. This ARTICLE discusses Virtual Memory.
PrE 9 will have about the same resource requirements, or might use a bit more, so a large number of large still images will remain a problem.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to avoid letterboxing & pillars in output of slide show as wmv movie in Premiere El 10?

I have created a slide show with both stills (using pan and zoom) and videos. Both in the Preview monitor in Premiere and in the exported movie I get letterboxes and pillars (black lines top and bottom, and on the sides). I know there is a lot going oh here, but here are a few relevant details.
Premiere 10 - (64-bit)
Running Win 7 Home Premium
Still images have various aspect ratios, but mostly I tried to keep to 1000x750 pixels for 4:3 aspect ratio
Videos are 320x240
Output is to WMV (720p HD movie) - this is the only choice for a WMV movie and I cannot find ANY output that matches the 320x240 format of the videos.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
This is my first post in the forum. I did search the previous discussions, as I'm sure this has been discussed befor, but found nothing.
Please forgive if I'm in the wrong poace or any other stuff like that.
Thank you

Thank you both for your replies - very helpful.
This was/is an attempt to put together a demo for a project, to be shown on a computer. - by someone who obviously did not know what he was doing, namely, me.
Can you tell it was my first attempt?
Yes, the preset was DV 48kHz, which is apparently 4:3, right?
The tiny video is what I was given to work with (from VideoBlocks) Maybe not a good idea to even try. The still images were various sizes and I resized them to 1000x750, on a recommendation from someone on how to get good 4:3 resolution. So that was not such a good idea either.
Since then, I have tried a couple of experiments.
BUT, I just tried a new video with images resized in Photoshop to 1280x720, with the preset at DV widescreen and output at 720p HD. Hey - it is almost a success. The letterboxes and pillars are negligible - about 1/8 of an inch. Thank you both so much.
So would you insist on higher quality video to work with? I have until next Wednesday. Lots of time. Sounds like there is not much hope for using the 320x240 video.
Thanks very much for your suggestions and patience.

Premiere Elements slide show error mesage

After preparing a slide show I went to "Share" and checked "Burn Video DVD/Blue ray. When Premiere Elements loaded and went to download my project file I received an error message as follows "This type of fie is not supported, or the codec is not installed".
I cannot create the slide show on a dvd.

I had been working on the Premiere Elements 13 Windows tryout, trying to cover as much as possible. The tryout has expired. I should have the purchased version by the end of the week.
Elements Organizer 13 is a "new breed" of Elements Organizer along with it "Slideshow".
You say that you have created your slideshow (presumed with one of its 5 themes) and saved it as an Elements Organizer 13 Slides Show Project.
From that point on, this is my take on this which I will confirm again later in the week when I have the purchased version...
a. The Slide Show Project is a creation of the Elements Organizer 13 and remains in the catalog, available for re-edit (limited).
b. The only way out of the Elements Organizer 13 for this created slideshow is Export to yield an AVCHD.mp4 file either 720p30 or 1080p30 which
is saved to the computer hard drive.
c. It is those AVCHD.mp4 files that can be imported into a Premiere Elements project with Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets.
d. I do not recall there being a viable opportunity to use the Slide Show Project thumbnail in the Elements Organizer 13 workspace for a Share/Burn Video DVD or Blu-ray.

What is the best export option for a slide show made with Premiere Pro?

I have just made a slide show, 3 minutes, some music and 3 slides.
I exported it for youtube with 10fps.
The file ended up with 35 Mb.
Isnt there an export option that allows less fps resulting in a much smaller file size?

What frame size are you exporting to?
There is likely a way to get it a little smaller. I will play around with it and see what I can come up with.
Post a screen shot of your export settings. We might be able to spot a problem.
Edit: Well, at 1920X1080 a 3 minute slide show starts to fall apart at less than 30MB or so. The bitrate drops to the point where the images are not clear. Anything under about 1Mbps is just too noisy. I used H.264. There might be a better choice for slideshows.

A How To: Create a Widescreen High Definition Slide Show from the Organizer

[EDIT] I just tried another one and, weirdly, that produced an output with black bars around all four sides! So maybe this 'how to' is not 100%. I have considered deleting the post altogether but, as it does still produce a superior slideshow quality file than the standard ones provided with Elements, I've decided to leave it with this edit added at the top for additional info.[END_EDIT]
In answering a question in another forum I found a nice quick way to create proper widescreen high definition slide shows from just the Elements Organizer. Apologies if this is 'old news' to readers, but I've not seen this described elsewhere so I thought I'd share it.
The Organizer Slide Show creator, if not wanting to edit in PRE, provides a small set of Windows Media Player profiles to create .wmv files. But the best of these goes only to 1024x768 (a 4:3 monitor resolution setting). I've noticed, but never paid much attention to, that at the bottom of the Slide Size box there is a 'Browse for more' option that lets you search for additional Windows Media Encoder profiles. Investigation showed me that I can download the Windows Media Encoder software from Microsoft and create my own profiles. But even further investigation showed me that someone had already done this! I've tested their full HD profile and it works just fine (1920x1080).
So if you are just after a straightforward slide show (i.e. not needing PRE features) but want it displayed on your Full HD TV set here is what you do:
Download the HD Profiles from http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/236895-hd-profiles-for-windows-movie-maker/. There's also a couple of useful SD sizes there as well. Save them somewhere you can easily find them.
Create your slide show in the Organizer. Obviously use appropriately sized images for HD. There's little point outputting an HD wmv file using low resolution and/or 4:3 aspect ratio images.
Save and Output your slide show.
In the output dialog ('Save As a File') scroll down to the bottom of Slide Size and select 'Browse for more ...'.
Browse to the file you downloaded in step 1 and click Open.
Click OK and your Widescreen HD .wmv file is prepared.
Here's a Gspot analysis of my test output file. As you can see it is an HD file with a 16:9, square pixel, aspect ratio.
Ta Da!
Cheers,
Neale

You did not mention a specific Premiere Elements Elements Organizer combo for this, so for now I will address this from the version 11, not Windows Movie Maker, perspective if I need to get version specific.
.prx
The Browse for More is a well known route and does offer at least one Adobe profile for 1280 x 720 16:9. I am not sure where you came up with the lesser resolution,1024 x 768 that you mentioned. The Windows Media profiles have existed for several versions of Elements Organizer. Those Adobe ones that you do not see under Output Save As A File Movie (.wmv), can be found in the Windows 7 or 8 64 bit path
Local Disc C
Profile Files (x86)
Adobe
Elements 11 Organizer
Assets
Locale
en_US
tv_profiles
in the tv_profiles Folder are included the .prx files
.....10. 640 x 480 Enhanced Definitions
.....12. 852 x 480 Widescreen Enhanced Definition
.....14 1280 x 720 Widescreen High Definition
A homemade 1920 x 1080 16:9 30 frames per second .prx has long been sought but not that easily produced by many using with the Windows Media Encoder Editor. Apparently you have found one online, and it does get accepted into the Premiere Elements 11 Browse for More choices. And, if you do a gspot readout for the wmv output from Elements Organizer 11, it will display all the "right" properties that you hoped for and that are shown in your screenshot.
The bottom line, why bother with the wmv slideshow? If you take your original photos and size them for 1920 x 1080 16:9, use them in the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor (Crops used in preferences), use the Edit with Premiere Elements Editor command, what you get in Premiere Elements 11 is full and good in all regard. Have you tried it?
I can see your interest if this is HD going to HD (AVCHD on DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc, but I do not see this for an Elements Organizer Slideshow that is going to DVD-VIDEO widescreen.
More later.

Where is the frame rate setting control when making a slide show?

I am trying to make a slide show using QuickTime Pro and cannot find the frame rate control.I put all my consectively-numbered jpegs in one folder. I then clicked on "File," the "Open Image Sequence," then a window opened up and I click on the first jpeg in the series of photos I want in my slide show. Then the first image appears in the QT Window. The instructions next say that I should be able to change the rate at which each slide/jpeg appears, but it doesn't tell you where to find the "frame rate" so I can change it. It doesn't appear at all on its own, so where is it? Anything else I'm missing? Thank you.

What version of Photoshop Elements and or Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system?
In addition, could you please clarify?
It sounds like you are creating your slideshow in the Elements Organizer. Where are you seeing these distortions and blurs, in the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor Filmstrip or in the Premiere Elements workspace after you have transferred the slideshow from the Elements Organizer 9 Slideshow Editor to Premiere Elements workspace?
What are the pixel dimensions of the photos in this slideshow and how many of these photos are in the slideshow? What format are they in..jpg, psd, other?
With regard to what you wrote:
Also how do I transport them from Elements to Premier, it has a tab to do that but when I get to the elements file I don't know where to drag and drop into.
If you are in the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor and use the Output option Edit with Premiere Elements, then you would expect the automatic transfer of the slideshow to Premiere Elements, with a copy in video format (.psess) in the project media as well as on the Timeline. Nothing for you to drag and drop.
For all those reasons, I am asking for clarification.
Thanks.
