Strange menu lag in PS Elements 12

I'm running Photoshop Elements 12 on a 64bit installation of Windows 8.1 and generally it runs really well. However I've noticed a strange menu lag issue whereby when I move the cursor over over menu bar menus it lags noticable and seems to 'stick' and jump between menu items.
I've got a quad core i5 and 12gb of memory so the computer is well up to the job of running PSE and if I open Task Manager whilst observing this menu lag it shows no spikes of processing power or any obvious issues.
I wondered whether anyone knew what was going on or any solutions; it's not a major problem but is rather irritating.

As far as I know Photoshop CC does not have an Adobe watermark associated with tryout as does Premiere Elements.
And, Photoshop CC is now marketed on a subscription basis.
Right now the only way I can get a full background replacement is to go into the main menu psd and replace its background
layer in the Layer Set with a 1920 x 1080 image.
I have found that will present full in the Movie Menu customization area but if I replace it with another image in Movie Customization those black "trims" are back.
This is what the Secret Agent (HD) looks like with its background layer replaced in the .psd using Photoshop CS5.1 and then the edited theme
opened in the Movie Menu customization area of the opened project
Just do not replace the Menu Background Video or Still that you see in the screenshot and you are OK.
I did a Snipping Tool copy of the background you posted to use for the demo.
We can talk about this some more in the morning.

How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy

How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy?
It is very cumbersome to "re browse" for audio files/pics/movie clips to add to menu screens. Certainly there is a way to view the media and menu screen at the same time so I can drag and drop?

I think I know exactly what you are seeking and believe it cannot be done in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as it can be done in versions earlier than 11 where the Disc Layout and Project Media are viewed side by side.
Premiere Elements 13 uses a Movie Menu customization workspace which is not allowing viewing of Project Assets in the Expert workspace at the same time.

Photoshop and elements 13
Working in iPhoto
Want to edit image using photoshop elements
Did the following
IPhoto>Preferences>Advanced>Edit Photos: In drop down menu chose in Photoshop Elements
Also control click and chose edit in external editor
Drop down menu edit photos in external program>photoshop Elements
Go to to the image I'm working on --- selected the image, the clicked on edit. When nothing happened I double clicked the image. Still elements didn't open. Then I opened the Elements editor, went back to iphoto and tried the entire process again. the photo still didn't open on Elements 13 for editing.
I have 3 Elements 13 books as well as looked on line--all my references say the exact same thing ---- iPhoto>Preferences>advanced>edit in external program>photoshop Elements
I uninstalled and reinstalled both iPhoto as well as Elements.
I spoke with application technical support. There appears to be nothing wrong with my copy of iPhoto. However there is no support from Adobe. I waited for over 1.5 hours for chat support several days ago, and finally gave up.

You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder. The PSE file at the top level of the PSE folder in Applications is just an alias for the welcome screen and what you're describing is exactly what happens when you choose that. You want this one:

Moving menu template from premiere elements 4 to premiere elements 9

Last year I upgraded from premiere elements 4 to 9. I could not find a generic menu template in premiere elements 9 so I moved one from the program files of premiere elements 4 to the program files of premiere elements 9. This seemed to work okay except that the background art that I used for the main menu does not show up on the burned DVD even though it is there when viewing the project. I'm using a PC with Windows 7. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Several of the menu templates for PRE9 had problems, such as custom backgrounds ignored. A. T. Romano did a lot of work on investigating these issues.
For example:
Premiere Elements 9 Disc Menu (main/scene)
PE9 Menu background
It seems likely that whatever caused the faults in PRE9 is also tripping up with your PRE4 template. Others have reported that the problems were fixed in PRE10.

Menu Lag/Slowdown on the Creative Zen 32gb??

Hey guys,
So I recently bought a Creative Zen 32gb and for the most part it is GREAT!
The only problem I have noticed with it so far is a noticeable slowdown or lag when browsing around the menus. By this, I mean that for instance scrolling up and down on the main menu, things will stagger and stutter and simply not flow smoothly as I navigate around. The same thing happens when I browse over album covers and suchlike in the music menu. The problem is heightened when music is playing, adding to the slowdown.
So has anyone else experienced this problem? Or is this just standard with the Zen? More importantly, how can i fix it's!?!
Thanks guys!

I should also mention I have ONE album on it, so it can't be because it's full. ONE ALBUM! No joke...

The menu bar and HUD elements are unusually large in FF 22.

In the new version, the size of the menu bar and subsequent toolbars seems to have increased slightly. This also seems to have forced the icons on the toolbars to enlarge, causing them to be blurry as they are displayed in a lower resolution than normal.
Additionally, the zoom level (text and element size) for many webpages has increased. Manually resetting with ctrl+scroll down works, and the pages retain their proper size, but it's frustrating to redo this for every webpage.
I have checked that the text size setting in Options did not change.
What can I do to undo this appearance change?

Strange Menu Bug in Finder

The last 2 days, the Finder has been acting strange. Most of the time, it's OK, but every so often, the menus lose their highlight color. They still work, but there is no highlight while navigating. The highlight color only appears when a menu item is clicked - like the active state of a link on the web. This happens in both contextual menus & in the menu bar. I have been using Mac OS X since the beginning, but have never seen this before. I wonder if anyone else has seen this behavior?

I'm having the same issue with a user's computer here at work. I am actually typing it from this right now. Tossing prefs files, permissions repairs - nothing.
It's a G4 Sawtooth with 10.4.11 and using a bluetooth Microsoft Mouse.
Any luck with this?

Cannot find Gymnastics menu templates in Premiere Elements 7

I am looking for a Gymnastics menu for Premiere Elements 7.
CraginJohn

Welcome to the forum.
If there is nothing in the included Templates, then I can only recommend that you look on Muvipix.com, as they have many additional, custom Menu Sets, though I do not recall a gymnastics set - but have never needed one. If you find what you do need there, there are two ways to get it - pay for the Menu Sets that you need, or subscribe to Muvipix.com, and then download everything, including the music, Menu Sets, etc., from that subscription.
Good luck, and hope that you find what you are looking for.
Hunt
PS - I would also post to the Premiere Elements Forum (Community) at Muvipix.com, as many subscribers there know of additional sources, and also do a lot of school sports themed DVD/BD projects, and might have other resources for you.

Menu Creations in Premiere Elements 7

Why can't I add a menu template? I followed the steps correctly and I still can't add a menu, what's wrong?

Andy Herrman
Just a few thoughts before you decide to contact Adobe T/SAt this point, I also cannot judge if you have a serious problem with Premiere Elements 7 or if you are misunderstanding how to apply a DVD Menu to your project.
Does Import Media = you have used Get Media to bring media into the Project View/Media and have dragged it from there to the Timeline, applied some scene markers there, then hit Disc Menus OR have you just left the media in Project View/Media, nothing to the Timeline, and then hit Disc Menus? However, whether or not any thing is on the Timeline, you should still be getting a DVD Menu in the Disc Menus Monitor after you select a Menu and hit Apply.
Clicked on Disc Menu
Chose a MenuHit Apply
I was going to ask if you highlighted (blue rectangle) the Menu of choice, but, since you said that you clicked on Apply, I am further assuming that you did highlight the choice and therefore had an active (not grayed out) Apply Button.
After you hit Apply, did you get any message or dialogs, like:
Missing Menu Marker Dialog
Automatically Set Menu Scene Markers
At this point, in the bin below the Disc Menus Monitor, you should see a Main Menu and a Scene Menu. Which ever one of those is selected in the bin will be the one that is showing in the Monitor. So, when you say No menu would appear, are you saying that there were no menu images in the Monitor and/or the bin?
By any chance, are you looking for the DVD Menu to appear on the Timeline? You are never going to see the Main Menu or the Scene Menu on the Timeline of the program. You can edit the menu in the Disc Menus Monitor and check its button workings in the Monitor by pressing Preview.
Again, please excuse if I have asked inappropriate questions, but I was not sure what was happening or not happening in your situation.

Menu bar with Photoshop Elements 11

The Menu bar at the top of my iMac will not disapear when I am using Photoshop E 11 and hide the PE11 control buttons. The usual key strokes etc don't work. I have tried uninstalling anr reinstalling but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

It appears that you have a Photoshop Elements question, but have posted to the Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
I will Move your post to the PsElements Forum.
From a Photoshop perspective (I do not have PsElements, but only its "big brother"), PNG is a very common format, and Ps CS 6 (and all the way back to about version 5, IIRC), Opens them just fine.
Can you Open those PNG files in say a viewer? I worry that they are corrupt.
Still, in the PsE Forum, you will get great assistance.
Good luck,

Photos of brickwork have strange patterns when displayed in Elements 9 Full Screen

I have recently photographed several brick buildings (houses, lighthouses etc). When I display some of these in Photoshop Elements 9 using Full Screen (F11) the brickwork has a strange, curved secondary striation pattern across it, rather like an interference pattern. This does not occur when the same picture is displayed via other photo viewing software (eg Nikon ViewNX2) or in Elements Single Photo View or when editing. Any ideas on how to prevent this problem in Full Screen would be welcome!

Thanks to the forum, I was able to locate them in my Mac's User Name/Pictures. Is there a way to bring them back into Elements 9?

Organizer menu bar on my Elements 10 disappeared

I have Elements 10 on a MacBook Pro with Mavericks OS. The "Organizer" menu bar which shows forward/back buttons, Search function, Organize, Fix, Create, Share functions etc. has suddenly disappeared. The program has been working fine for 3 years. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it but it did not fix the problem.

There have been a lot of these screen display issues recently so I think it is more an Apple issue of backwards compatibility for the Mavericks OS upgrade (that didn't exist when PSE10 launched).
But having changed the resolution a few times, have you reset it back to the screens native resolution to see if that resolves it.

I can't find the green screen key in the Effects menu in Adobe Premiere Elements 12

Is there anybody who can help me were I can find the green screen key in premiere element 12. According tutorial video's on You Tube there must be a green screen key in the effects menu under keying, but with me it doesn't seem to be there.

jajajoja
Thanks for the reply. Glad you asked. Please check out my blog post on the use of the Difference Matte, especially for the Premiere Elements Mac users who run into this Windows Only situation.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Difference Matte As Substitute for Green or Blue Screen Key
We are not Adobe. Rather user to user. So, I am not sure why these keying features are not included in Premiere Elements Mac.
Please review and consider the above, and, if any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Best wishes.

Editing menu screens in Premiere Elements 12

I have been using Premiere Elements 12 to put together a movie to burn onto a Blu-ray, but the image that I want to use as the background on the main menu screen keeps getting stretched horizontally. The weird thing is that it looks fine when I'm just looking at the little preview window in the video editor, but when I click the "Preview Disc" button to see how it will look on a TV, then the image gets stretched. Also, it doesn't actually reach the top and bottom of the screen the way I want it to, because the menu screen has letterbox bars that I can't get rid of. I am using the "Secret Agent" template, if that makes any difference. Is there any way to edit the template and maybe remove the letterbox bars so that it won't stretch my background image, or even just change the aspect ratio of the menu screen so that the bars will be less pronounced?

I think you must have version cue enabled. In the lower left hand
corner of the open menu it says- Use OS Dialog, press that to get
mac open dialog.
If you don't need version cue, it can be turned off in the application's
perferences or i think in the mac control panel if you have a creative suite
installed.
