Slideshows in PSE elements 8

I created a slideshow the other day and upon completion did the "output" thing and it was successfully created. A day or two later I went into PSE to edit the slideshow and all the pictures were gone. The graphics were there, as well the audio but all the pictures were blank. Fortunately I had already created the video but I wanted to also create it in a smaller format in order to be able to send it via email. Has anyone ever had this problem

Might want to try the question over in the elements forum please. They may know the answer.

How do I create a slideshow in PSE 8.0 and share it on my website using Premiere elements 7.0. I

I have created a slideshow in PSE 8.0 but how do I get it into Premiere Elements 7 to create a video I want to show in my website? Do I have to buy Premiere Elements 8.0 surely ther must be a way to pass files?

Adobe is making it difficult for people who have Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 7.
If you also have Photoshop Elements 7, I suggest that in the future you consider making your slideshows in Photoshop Elements 7 because it of course does support transfer to Premiere Elements 7. Or you can make the entire slideshow in Premiere Elements 7.
The only option that I can identify for making a file of your PSE 8 slideshow is to do a WMV file from the PSE 8 slideshow output command.
This approach has the disadvantage of doing a compression in PSE to make the WMV file and then doing another compression in Premiere Elements 7 for whatever format you will use to upload to your website.

Edited slideshow in Premier Elements

I created a slideshow in PSE 9, and now I want to edit it and burn a DVD in Premier Elements, but I can't figure out how to transfer/import the slide show into Premier elements. Appreciate any help.

Adding Music to a slideshow in Premiere Elements 4

I am new to media software. I have some experience with editing photos in Photoshop Elements 4. Since that program was unable to make slideshows that played on a TV, I purchased the new bundle with Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere Elements 4. I have been having great difficulty finding good instructions on how to do things in these programs. Their online manuals and Help section seem to be for people who are already familiar with these kinds of programs. So, I am here, to try to get some help.
I made a slideshow in Photoshop Elements 6 and sent it to Premiere Elements 4. I was able to burn it and it plays on our TV. Now I want to add music to it. I first looked at the slideshow in Premiere Elements 4 but could not figure out how to add the music using that program.
Therefore, I went back to the slideshow I created in Photoshop Elements 6 and have been trying to add music in that program with the idea of sending it to Premiere Elements 4 again when it is time to burn. I need to add Mulitiple Music Selections to the slideshow. I am trying to coordinate different music with the different cities we visited in Alaska. This has been a bit difficult for me to do. I am getting there, but it is not effecient. I posted on the Photoshop Elements Forum and it was suggested I try this forum. Someone thought it might be easier to do using Premiere Elements 4. If there is a link somewhere with directions on how to add the music in either program, I would be most grateful for that information. I am looking for instructions on how to add MULTIPLE music selections to ONE slideshow. I found the instructions for adding one music selection, and I understand that. I just need to take it further. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Mary,
I create all of my slideshows in Premiere Pro, so I am learning a lot about the interaction between PSE and PE from your thread. Were it not for Barbs instructions to Break Apart the slide show from PSE, I would never have thought of that. As you say, learn something new everyday. I also only have the full Photoshop, not PS Elements, so I do not know what PSE offers. See, Im learning things right there.
Now, lets see if I can give you an easy way to do the Fade-out of your Audio, and not confuse you. There are several ways to do this, but I like to use the Audio Mixer. Maybe its because it looks like my mixing console from my analog days and Im comfortable with the pot (potentiometer) control that is displayed.
You have now followed Barbs instructions to Break Apart the slide show. You are now in the Timeline view and have expanded it horizontally and maybe the two main Track (Audio, where your music is, and Video) vertically, so that you can see your Clips (your slides). Go to the menu at the top of the Workspace and click Window. This will give you a drop-down menu. About 7/8 of the way down, click on Audio Mixer. This would be written as Window>Audio Mixer. This will open a new Panel, Audio Mixer. At the top of this new Panel are the names of your Audio Tracks, say Audio 1, Audio 2, Narration and Music. Because you could have your music on about any of these, youll need to match up its location (left side of the Timeline will give you the exact Track name) with the names of the various Tracks in the Audio Mixer. Once you have that name match, the fun begins.
I like to place the CTI (the Current Time Indicator) a bit ahead of where I will want to make my change. This gives me some time to get ready. Lets say that your music IS on the Music Track. Looking down below that label in the Audio Mixer, you can see a round knob marked Balance. Look down below that and youll see a vertical window marked Level, with a chart just to the right of it. There are three elements to that chart: a black slot line, and small horizontal rectangle with a horizontal line in it and then numbers with +s and -s. That horizontal rectangle is the pot (potentiometer) handle and is what we will be using. It is probably set a 0, but it might reflect a sound level set previously, maybe in PSE. You might want to jot down where it is set right now, in case we need to go back.
Now its time to get creative. Position the Audio Mixer where you can see it and also the Timeline. Note that you can change the size of the Audio Mixer, so that it only shows the Audio Track that you are working on, if needed. Place your mouses cursor over the pot handle (that little horizontal bar) click and hold for a second. With your other hand, hit the Spacebar to start the play of your Timeline. The CTI will begin moving to the right and youll hear the Audio Track and see the images in the Monitor. While still clicking and holding on the pot, get ready. When you are approaching where you want your Fade-out to begin, slowly drag the pot down to the very bottom. The idea is to do this at a speed that will get you to the - ∞ point, just as you come to the end of your slide.
What this does is automatically add Keyframes to the Audio Track (the one where your music is), that go from the set level to silent. This is just how we used to do it pre-digital, except we had our finger on the pot and actually slid a mechanical/electronic device. If you look closely at your Audio Track, youll also see a bunch of little circles on the yellow line. These are the Keyframes. The beauty of doing it this way, is that you can vary the speed of the Fade-out. You can start slowly, then increase the Velocity of the Fade. [Note: in Premiere Pros Effects Panel, you can manipulate this Velocity to your hearts content. I do not believe that PE allows as much control there.]
There are two other ways to accomplish the same thing. One is to manually add a Keyframe, at the CTI (accomplished by clicking on the little diamond on the left side of the Audio Track in the Timeline), on the Audio Track, where you wish the Fade-out to start. This basically holds the Level before that point to what it was set to. Then you go to the end of that piece of music. Lets say that it ends exactly where your slide ends (on the Video Track). I find that point easily by hitting Page Down, then the <- key (left cursor key). Page Down takes you to the next cut, or Clip, and the <- takes you back to the last frame. Here youd manually add another Keyframe. Drag down on this second Keyframe to drop the Audio level to - ∞ like above.
The other way to do this is to add an Audio Transition to the end of your music. I use Constant Power from the Audio Transitions pre-sets for this. One can alter the length of these Transitions to fit the time desired for the Fade-out. When it comes to steps involved, this might be the easiest method, but I like the control of Keyframes, and like to use the Audio Mixer to achieve the effect that I am listening for.
As with most Adobe programs, there are several ways to get what you desire. These methods usually only differ by degrees for control. Some are almost one click and drag solutions, other require user input. The beauty is that the simple way will often get what you want, while the latter will allow much more control.
Personally, Id try all three, just to see which one is easier for you and which one allows you the exact effect that you want.
I hope that the forum formatting will bring in the characters that I have used, so you can see them. If you get a bunch of little solid black blocks, it did not. That is why I also added the annotations to tell you what the symbol is.
Good luck,
Hunt

What happened to slideshow adjustments in elements 13?

what happened to slideshow adjustments in elements 13?
I can't control effects, time or movement. can't belive adobe took all these adjustments away

Adobe is starting over with a completely different slideshow in PSE 13. Unfortunately, for now it's a lot more basic than the old slide show editor.

Slideshow in Photoshop Elements 9 keeps crashing when I try to output it to movie file (wmv)

Made a slideshow using Photoshop Elements 9 that keeps crashing when I try to output it to movie file (wmv).
This message appear: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error
This is totally new to me as I have made a few slidshows before and saved them into wmv-files without any problem.I tried to open the file and renew it "save as" and did the whole procedure over again but it still crasches. There is no video in the slideshow and all pics are .jpg and to summarize it - 5 days of work is nearly gone if this doesent convert into a wmv-file..... Pls advise any suggestion what to try here.
Best regards

Your crash has nothing to do with the junk filter. It looks more like a corrupt preferences file. If you're curious, you may check the validity of that file issuing the following command in Terminal:
plutil ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plistWhat does it say? Now, try this:
1. Quit Mail.
2. Make a backup copy of the HOME/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Preferences/. Locate the file com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
You'll have to set up your accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don't. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in HOME/Library/Mail/ when done.
You'll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. The first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable "Display remote images in HTML messages" if it's enabled.

Has anyone had a problem installing PSE Elements 8.

I have installed PSE Elements 8 from a new boxed CD onto a new Dell running Windows 7 Professional (64 Bit).
PSE has loaded without any warnings and I get to the welcome screen OK. Organiser works fine but if I try and start Edit it just circles around back to the Edit prompt. I have tried getting in via Fix in Organiser which then advises Loading Elements workspace but then drops me back to menu.
I have tried all the Tech Note suggestions but after hours of trying am still no further forward.
I even downloaded and installed the trial version but I this performs in the same way.
All suggestions welcome. Thanks

No luck.
PE Editor does not open with Ctrl/Alt/Shift nothing...zilch
Running PE Editor from this point using Open produces error message. PE Elements has stopped working - Close Program.
Thanks anyway.

Subject: Has anyone had a problem installing PSE Elements 8.
The only other suggestion is try re-setting the Editor preferences as this often fixes conflicts. You will also be able to check that this part of the application installed correctly.
Hold down the windows key to the left of Alt and press the letter E to launch Explorer
In the left side pane click on Computer
In the right pane double click on Program Files, then double click Adobe, then double click Photoshop Elements 8.0
Use the right hand scroll bar to move down the list of files and locate Photoshop Elements Editor With one hand holding down all three keys CtrlShiftAlt right click on the Editor file in the list and select open.
You should see a pop up box with the words Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Close down Elements and re-open it in the normal way.
Please let us know if that works.

How can I put captions in a pdf slideshow in Photoshop Elements 13?

Tags are independent of PDF page content. Removing/deleting a page or page(s) does not remove anything in the PDF's structure tree.
As Full Check is looking at the structure tree the report reflects what is present there.
In the Tags panel walk the structure tree to locate the Table tags. Delete these.

Why does slideshow created in Elements v12 display black

A slideshow created in PSE v11 plays back correctly on my Windows 8 computer, but running a slideshow in PSE v12 on the same computer in the same session displays the slides as black. There was a suggestion that the photos are at too high a resolution to playback, but I am using the same photos. I even created a slideshow with only three images that were about 1 meg in size each -- same problem. There is no error message and the audio does play.
I imported into the Organizer (PSE 12) three different video formats: wmv, mp4, and m2ts. All three played correctly. It is the slideshow created with PSE that displays black. What needs to be updated? What steps can I do to correct the problem?

I think the difficulty is that because it doesn't affect everyone they can't recreate it and so can't fix it*. If you want to report it the place to report bugs is at http://feedback.photoshop.com (this is a user-to-user forum so Adobe won't see it).
* Mind you with a release cycle of only twelve months it's very rare to see any updates other than to Camera RAW.

Is the PDF slideshow in PSE 7 like the one in PSE 3 ?

I have PSE 3 and convert photos from vacations and trips to the "Simple PDF Slideshow" in PSE 3. When PSE 4 came out it seemed it no longer supported the PDF Slideshow so I stayed with PSE 3. Recently I noticed that PSE 7 has the PDF slideshow option. Is it the same (or very similar) to the one I enjoy in PSE 3? If so I may finally choose to install PSE 7. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think I can install PSE 7 and still keep PSE 3 until I decide which I like better. Also, I notice that an OEM version is available for $33. Is there anything illegal about purchasing an OEM version? Are there any drawbacks? Of course I will still need to purchase Barbara Brundage's book. Her book on PSE 3 has saved me many hours of trial and error.
Eva

I didn't get any replies to my post so I'll have to reply to myself :-).
I purchased PSE 8 after deciding that the OEM versions for sale were too good to be true. I don't know about the legality, but further reading about OEM software for sale seems to indicate that it resembles piracy, in a way. So I put down my dollars for PSE 8 in a box. I ordered B. Brundage's book but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm sure many of my questions will be answered when I can read her book.
But about the PDF slideshows in PSE 3 and PSE 8, I can safely say they are NOT the same. Though on the screen both versions appear the same, if you save a particular slide to the clipboard and then to a file, the PSE 3 version is the full original size photo. If you want, you can print it. The PSE 8 version slide is maximum 1600 X 1200. Does it matter? Perhaps not. If I burn the PDF slideshow to a disk I know I can always extract a photo from the PSE 3 version. So I don't have to put the photos separately on the disk as well. Whether that's important to anyone but me is questionable, but it does answer the question whether the two slideshow programs are the same.
I have some other observations about having both versions of PSE on the computer which will go to a separate topic.

PSE Elements 9 organizer problen

I have just installed PSE 9 on a Vista machine, and am having a lot of trouble getting the organizer to run. The welcome screen also does not run. I can get the editor to run by going into the x86 folder and executing the editor directly. From there if I try to get to the organizer, the programm crashes with the message " PSE Elements has stopped working" The same error occurs if I try to execute the welcoe screen from the editor.The first time I installed PSE (9 it worked fine and contonued for about a week. Then the error occurred.I have even gone so far as to reinstall Vista, and itran for about a week again, and then crashed with the same message Details on the crash list APPCRASH, with the faulting module AMTSERVICES.DLL I have installed PSE9 about 10 times under various configurations, but no success. I have seen many references regarding this problem, but none seem to offer a real solution.
I would like to thank anyony in advance for any help they may offer.

Hello,
AMTServices.dll has to do with product licensing. It would be very strange if licensing causing an issue with the Organizer or the Welcome Screen. However, I would suggest that system security is the most likely culprit here, whether anti-virus, disk permissions, or some other form of system protection that is limiting what the application can do when attempting to launch. You may want to try things like disabling all background processes and/or running in a new user account (you may find with this second step that you again can use the application for a short time before the problem returns). The question remains "What is changing that is causing the application to stop working?"

No response needed. After some reseach I solved the problem. vista - start menu - control panel - personalization - adjust font size (dpi) (set this the 96)

And if you want to continue running at a screen DPI larger than 96 (so you can read your other applications), see this FAQ:

Install the excellent 'Search Everything' utility and enter 'extreme' as a search term. Note that when you first run 'Everything' it takes time to index your drive(s). After that though it is a nearly instantaneous start.

Cannot create slideshow in Premiere Elements 8

I just installed and am trying to use Premiere Elements 8. I have been racking my brain for the last two hours trying to figure out how to create a slide show. I do not have a create button anywhere. I jumped from Elements 1.0 to 8. I am ready to return 8 and go back to 1 if I cannot figure this out.
Where do I find the slideshow dialog box?
Can someone please help?????
Thanks.

Oh come on, Eric! You're not really going to return the program just because you couldn't figure out how to use it, are you?
I"m just teasing you. The program can be a bit intimidating at first. That's why I spend most of my day showing people how to use it.
Actually, there are at least four ways to build a slideshow in Premiere Elements. I show you how to do them all in my book, "The Muvipix.com Guide to Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 8," if you're interested.It's available on Amazon.com and from the Muvipix store.
I don know specifically what kind of slideshow you're trying to create, so I can't give you specific instructions.
But first, before you bring any photos into Premiere Elements, be sure to resize them to 1000x750 pixels, per the FAQs to the right of this forum.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/431851?tstart=0
Then use Get Media/From Files and Folders to get the photos into your Project panel (also under the Organize tab.)
Once you've got all of your photos gathered in your Project media panel, select them all and right-click -- and select Create Slideshow.
As I say, there are a number of other ways to do it, but this is the easiest. There is also an option for creating a slideshow in Themes and there's a slideshow creator built into the Organizer.
But that should get you started.
Meantime, why not check out my free Basic Training with Premiere Elements tutorials on the Muvipix site?
