Text effects & Animations in Premiere Elements 10

Hey guys,
I'm new to Adobe products, and just yesterday purchased PE10. I'm hoping it'll be able to handle some light (not light as in lumen, but as in workload) animations. My idea was to have someone running across a field while objects fell in behind him. They don't have to do anything special when they hit the "ground," just stop. I'm sure I can find audio clips to cover the sound, but I'm not sure how to piece it together.
Now, it has to be possible. I've seen people do lightsaber effects, gunshot effects, bullet wound and blood spatter effects. There must be something that allows me to make a rock fall out of the sky and almost land on someone.
Thanks. I'd love to get this resolved tonight. Any tips?
Best,
Jonathon

Jonathon,
Welcome to the forum.
For the use of another backgroun (set of Stills, if I understand correctly), you will also want to Key out the original background, around the runner, UNLESS you just want to add the "objects" TO that background.
In the latter case, you will basically be doing PiP (Picture in Picture), where those objects will be on Video Tracks, above the background, and then they can be animated with Keyframes on the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, and probably Motion>Scale.
I agree that an example of your desired treatment would be useful in giving detailed instructions.
Good luck,
Hunt

Any better text presets available for Premiere Elements

Hi all,
I tried doing a google search and a forum search and came up empty. The presets that come with elements are nice, but really basic when compared to the competition (corel for example). I was wondering if there are more presets available from adobe, fellow forum members, or freeware websites. Any one else have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!
I'd like the letters to "explode" away. As in each letter individually flies into the screen as if there was an explosion behind it.
I'd also like the letters to roll in on screen then roll out.
It would be super nice if there was a true way to edit the text. Heck there might even be and I'm just missing it.
It would be nice if there was a section on adobe's website that offered downloadable text animation presets, audio, and video effects. I see a lot for photoshop elements but none for premiere elements (unless I happen to be looking in the wrong place).

How can I make a stop motion animation using Premiere Elements 13?

I am trying to make a stop motion animation with a series of still shots. So far I have managed to speed up the shots so that I have one frame per second but this is still not fast enough and I can't work out how to make them go any faster!
I am working on a class project with my 8/9 year olds and the project has stalled at this point because I can't get past this hurdle. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

yogawithlexi,
Welcome to the forum.
Im also needing to just edit the photos but adding text. Nothing fancy. I just want to make some flyers.
For editing photos, to be output to the printed page (whether by a commercial printing service, or a desktop printer), I strongly recommend Photoshop Elements (PsE).
If you need to output to a video file, then Premiere Elements (PrE) can possibly do what you want, but not for the printed page - at least not easily, and with the ultimate results. First, Video is not dependent on DPI/LPI (Dots Per Inch, or Lines Per Inch), where printed material will be. Also, while PrE can output a Still Image, the quality, when printed, will be far less, than what one can obtain with PsE.
Do you currently have Photoshop Elements on your computer, or only Premiere Elements?
Good luck,
Hunt

Text Save Style in Premiere Elements 13 Mac

I can't save styles for text in Premiere Elements 13 on my Mac. I can make one, only one, but it won't save the name and lately it hasn't even saved the style. What should I do to fix that?

Premiere Elements 13 Mac
Are you working in the Expert workspace or the Quick workspace of the program?
Adobe has just released the 13.1 Update for version 13. Have you downloaded and installed it? If not, don't right now.
Please do this mini test first in a new project...
1. Open the Titler with Text Menu/New/Default Text
2. In the Text Section of the Titler create your text, apply a style to it from the Styles Section of the Titler, and save
the text style in the Style Section of the Titler.
If that is what you have been doing, then update from 13 to 13.1 And, repeat the mini test run. Do you have the same problem
in 13.1 as you did in 13?
If so, go to the Quick workspace, and repeat the mini test run there. Do you have the same problems in the Quick workspace as
you did in the Expert workspace?
If that does not help the situation, then please delete the Premiere Elements 13/13.1 setting file which should be found

How to use the stabilizer effect on Adobe premiere elements 11

Can anyone show me how to use the video stabilizer effect on premiere elements 11 step by step ?
Thank you !

achiu8888
I suspect that the principles would lend themselves to a step by step but how the effect works with your specific video will depend upon the degree of shakiness and other factors.
1. Your video clip on the Timeline of a project with the project settings which match the properties of your source video (part of all works whether or not the Stabilizer is involved.
2. Go to fx Effects Tab at the bottom of the Expert View, navigate to the Video Stabilizer and click on it to view its thumbnail. Drag the effect's thumbnail from there into the video clip on the Timeline.
3 I ran into an online excerpt of the Video Stabilizer in Adobe's Classroom in a Book, you may want to follow the path from there.
http://books.google.com/books?id=7zdjWNElM1IC&pg=PT252&lpg=PT252&dq=premiere+elements+stab ilizer&source=bl&ots=YM4HHrmZAl&sig=MpFt6GJn7IkgESWBZ6sC6wA7aEM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ZZ2zUbbVI5W3 4APDq4D4DQ&sqi=2&ved=0CHoQ6AEwBw
Also, you might want to put that information together with Adobe Effects Reference's description of the options iin the Applied Effects Palette/Stabilizer Panel.

(Scroll down until you get to Video Stabilizer options description.)
The above should supply with good starter information. If you need clarification on anything that I have written, please do not hesitate to ask.

Sound Effects with Adobe Premiere Elements

I am looking to buy a video editing package

I can't find any sound effects? Some other video editing packages come with a whole range of sound effects
Have I missed them? Do they exist?

Can I use adobe after effects with my project from premiere elements

Wondering if I can use adobe after effects with my premiere elements project

drunner
What version of Adobe After Effects do you have?
Whatever the case, I have not found any Adobe After Effects documentation that include a Premiere Elements project.prel file as a supported import choice.
I suspect that you are going to have to export your Premiere Elements Timeline as a .mp4 file with a After Effects supported compression into After Effects.
But, I would ask in the Adobe After Effects Forum just to double check.

Pleasantville effect Adobe Premiere Elements 12

Is it possible to edit a video in Pleasantville effect with
Adobe Premiere Elements 12 .
If not, what software does?

https://www.google.com/#q=Pleasantville+video+effect&undefined=undefined indicates that is for Apple's Final Cut
You might try asking the effect's author if they have a version for Premiere Elements

Premiere Elements 8 Initial Impressions

Premiere Elements 8 First Look: Part 1.
Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8 are now installed on my Windows XP SP3 with about available 1 GB RAM and 70 GB free hard drive space and the virtual memory controlled by the operating system…not great for a heavy duty project, but adequate to overview the programs.
1. Download & Installation. Both programs took about 3 ½ hours to download, using high speed DSL. Premiere Elements 8 downloaded and installed without problems. Installation went much quicker. But, Photoshop Elements 8 download did present challenges, first, it kept downloading Premiere Elements 8 instead of Photoshop Elements 8. Finally in the early hours of the morning, the download from the Adobe site was named Photoshop Elements 8. Great, except, once downloaded it would not launch. The launcher did not know what to do with the .7z file. Download and use of WinZip took care of that. My default browser Mozilla Firefox was worthless for the download of either Photoshop Elements 8 or Premiere Elements 8, but no problems with my Internet Explorer 6. I had this same problem with the Photoshop Elements 7/Premiere Elements 7 downloads last year.
2. Premiere Elements 8
a. Organizer. I would take exception to Steve Grisetti’s picture of the Organizer in “What’s new in Premiere Elements 8?”, but maybe I was overly optimistic by “The most visible change to version 8 is that the Organizer is no longer a sub-program of Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements. It now lives as its own, separate, pretty much independent program – behaving more than ever like its professional big brother, Adobe Bridge.” He went on to say “In version 8, both programs have equal access to a single, full-featured Organizer.”
Here is my dilemma for some who want a separate video and photo catalog. If you had Photoshop Elements 7/Premiere Elements 7, you could create additional catalogs in Photoshop Elements 7. Premiere Elements 7 could use one of these catalogs, but could not create new catalogs. So then, you could have a photo catalog displaying in the Photoshop Elements 7 Organizer and a video catalog displaying when you opened Premiere Elements 7. You cannot do that anymore, and File Menu/Catalog is gone in Premiere Elements 8. You still cannot create catalogs in Premiere Elements 8, so, if you just have Premiere Elements 8, you have ONE catalog. If you have Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8, you can create additional catalogs in Photoshop Elements 8 that can be used in Premiere Elements 8, but these programs will display the same ONE catalog.
b. Project Presets. The “New Preset” button is gone. The categories of the presets for NTSC and PAL remain the same: AVCHD, DV, “Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder”, HDV. However, two choices have been added to the “Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder” categories. Now we have HD 1080i30, HD 1080i30 (60i), Standard, and Widescreen. Here I have a problem reconciling the names and the descriptions. It was my understanding, in Premiere Elements 7 for standard and widescreen in this category, this preset category reverses the Fields: from Upper Field First to Lower Field First in Premiere Elements edits. So, now with these new choices described as follows:
HD 1080i30: 1920 x 1080i; pixel aspect ratio = square pixels (1.0); camcorders like JVC GZ-HD7; 16:9 interlaced HD video at 29:97 frames per second.
HD 1080i30 (60i): HD video from 1440 x 1080i camcorders; 16:9 interlaced HD video at 29:97 frames per second HDV 1080i Anamorphic.
When thinking HD 1080i30 preset….the JVC camcorder captures to a progressive sensor, assumed at 30 frames per second, and can record to it’s built in hard drive as 1920 x 1080i with 30 frames per second each frame with 2 fields. So, what prevents us from calling this preset HD 1080i30 (30p) Square Pixel?
When thinking HD 1080i30 (60i))…the camcorder involved captures to an interlaced sensor at 60 fields per second, and can record to it media as 1440 x 1080 with 30 frames per second, using a HD Anamorphic. So, what prevents us from calling this preset HD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic?
When I start comparing preset choices, the only reason for using these “Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder” new choices appears to be, like for standard and widescreen, to have the Fields reversed. Do you agree? Any comments on the nomenclature for these new preset choices?
3. Adobe Folder, folders and files
If you go to the default location of the Adobe Folder (My Documents\Premiere Elements\8.0), there are some differences there:
For Premiere Elements 7 and earlier versions there were:
Adobe Premiere Elements Previews Folder
Encoded Files Folder
Media Cache Folder that piled up with conformed audio files (.cfa and .pek)
Project Prel file
Styles Folder
And sometimes 2 .log files
Now in Premiere Elements 8, the Media Cache Folder is gone and we have the arrangement:
Adobe Premiere Elements Previews Folder
CA Object Track Results
Encoded Files
Layouts
Styles Folder
(You no longer see the endless conforming of DVD Menus (not even used) at the beginning of the project. But, I am still trying to figure out what they did with the conformed audio files (.cfa and .pek). More on that next time, along with Premiere Elements 8 Exports as well as Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Elements 8 intergration.

I have not gotten to Part 3 yet. This is an add on to the last add on.
I tried to find the Premiere Elements 8 Read Me file since those Read Me files usually contain "Known Bug Messages". I could not find that Adobe had put it online, but I did dig it out of the try out download folder. Here is the excerpt on Premiere Elements 8 known bugs/issues:
Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0 Known Issues
Importing Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 and 4.0 Projects
• Effect keyframes in Premiere elements 3.0 projects may not import correctly
Capturing and Importing Video
DV Device control will be disabled and capture will not proceed normally if sound card is not present or offline.
·         If capture is interrupted by a system event such as switching users, locking the system, or the screensaver, the duration of the captured file will be much shorter than expected. It is recommended to disable the screensaver before starting capture, and to avoid any actions that may interfere with the capture.
·         For live capture from DV camcorders, you must first disable scene detect.
·         When importing some Flash files a “Macromedia Flash Player security" message reading “Flash player has stopped potentially unsafe operation" may appear. Click “OK”, and the file will import normally.
·         When capturing form HDV camcorders you may see interlace lines in the preview window, The interlace lines do not appear in the captured video
·         Divx files may not be imported properly and sometimes import only audio or video part of it
·         After completing time-lapse capture, it may take some time for the organizer to update and display the thumbnails for the captured files. Still images captured using Stop Motion are not added to the organizer.
·         Importing media from some devices requires that the drivers provided with devices are installed
·         Stop Motion capture is not supported for HDV camcorders.
Organizer
•       When reconnecting missing media, each grouped scene must be reconnected individually
Edit
·         If issues are seen with color in preview, switch to CPU playback mode by un-checking “Enable GPU Playback” checkbox in Edit>preferences>General and restart application after saving your project.
·         Generation of thumbnails for DVD scene menus may take longer than expected when using HDV content.
·         Organizer may exhibit performance issues with large catalogs (5000-10,000 files )
·         With some GPU cards enabling “Accelerated GPU Effects” may cause the preview to be zoomed in.
·         Voice over narration may not be recorded using a mono USB microphone
·         When previewing audio mixes, pops may be heard as the CTI passes form one clip to the next. These pops will not appear in your exported movie
Audio mixer sliders may become “sticky” when mixing clips that have been time stretched
·         [Japanese & Chinese Simplified SPECIFIC] When application is installed to path that contains double byte characters path, GPU effects/transition will not function.
·         [Japanese SPECIFIC] Inputting ¥ symbol in Menu templates produces a backslash ( \ )
Photoshop Elements Integration
• In Photoshop Elements, choosing “Edit in Adobe Premiere Elements” may not bring the Adobe Premiere Elements window to the foreground.
• If a Photoshop Elements slideshow is sent to Adobe Premiere Elements, further edits in Photoshop Elements will not be reflected in Adobe Premiere Elements.
• Images saved in Photoshop Elements in BMP mode using the Advanced Settings cannot be imported into Adobe Premiere Elements. This includes images created using Adobe Premiere Elements Freeze Frame function and sent to Photoshop Elements for editing. If the image is saved using Photoshop Elements Advanced Settings, it cannot be returned to Adobe Premiere Elements, and as result, the original, unedited Freeze Frame image will be used.
• Send to Premiere Elements 8.0 will not work from older versions of Photoshop Elements
Exporting Movies
• Export of movies to the root directory of any drive (e.g. D:\) may fail.
• When exporting movies over one hour to MPEG2 format, the render dialog may continue to be displayed for a period of time after the render progress bar appears to have completed. Rendering is still occurring until the render dialog boxes closes. Clicking Cancel before the render dialog box closes will interrupt this process, and your export file will not be created
• For play back on a PSP, movies must include both audio and video. Movies exported with video only or audio only will not play back on the PSP.
• Archival of projects with Type 1 DV-AVI files is not supported.
• If standard definition menu templates are used when burning to Bluray, menu images s will appear of low quality
• When attempting to burn a Bluray disc to a previously burned disc, you will see an error message indicating that the disc is incompatible, instead of an error message indicating the disc is full.
• Movies exported in H.264 format may have a few white frames added to the end
• Movies exported in MPEG2 format may be a few frames shorter than the original movie
This seems to answer my question about Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Element 8 integration regarding slideshows, but may be of more widespread interest to others for the other "known bugs" cited by Adobe.

Cheers TomThumb
some things said about Adobe
We're not so happy with the way Premiere Elements 10 puts frames up on the monitor. Even with only a single AVCHD stream, playback seemed a little jerky. We shot a 120fps slow-motion video of the monitor and discovered that it was dropping around 15% of frames.
It's also worth noting that the default Automatic preview mode uses a crude method of resizing footage to fit the preview window, which can result in a slightly blocky appearance and moiré interference. Switching from Automatic to Highest removed this problem, but also halved the number of simultaneous streams that would play on our test PC.
Sadly, the responsiveness of the timeline controls and the interface in general remain poor. Simple actions such as zooming into the timeline, moving a clip or switching between the various tabbed panels were annoyingly slow, even with simple projects on our powerful PC. More complex projects containing lots of HD clips were almost unworkable.
After jumping to a point on the timeline and hitting the spacebar to commence playback, we sometimes had to wait for five seconds before the preview window sprang to life. More patient users may be able to bear it, but compared to the lightning-fast Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11, it's a painful experience.
The remaining new features aren't so enticing. It can generate animated slideshows, automatically zooming and panning from face to face. However, these animations are clunky and unattractive compared to the elegant, sweeping animations that Premiere Elements is already capable of with its advanced Bézier keyframe tools.
It can now upload videos directly to Facebook, but as with many of its export templates, the frame rate is fixed at 30fps rather than adapting to the project settings, needlessly inserting repeated frames from 25fps footage and compromising motion smoothness. Once again, this is basic stuff that we expect Adobe to get right.
Disc authoring is available at 25fps (PAL) or 30fps (NTSC) frame rates, but the lack of 24fps Blu-ray authoring won't please Nikon DSLR owners, and disc structure options are extremely basic. At least there's finally an option to burn HD video onto DVD media in the widely compatible AVCHD disc format.
There are some worthwhile improvements here, but the £69 inc VAT upgrade price is so high that we recommend existing users seriously consider jumping ship.

Hello Bob,
You state:
I still cannot believe you cannot trial CS5.5.1
I do not understand this statement. With the introduction of PrPro CS5.5, the "trial" has been the full program, with ALL CODEC's included and installed. The ONLY limit to that trial is the time - 30 days, as before. Now, there is a very recent update for CS 5.5, to the 5.5.1, and as this is very new, and last I checked ONLY available in an automatic update, i.e. no directly downloadable version yet, the trial is probably 5.5.0.0, but as soon as the stand-alone update is available, I suspect that Adobe will change the trial to 5.5.1. This usually takes from 1 - 2 weeks, as the install routine has to be completely re-written, and then coded into the download file. Historically, Adobe has updated the trial (and the full-paid download), as soon as the stand-alone version has been released. By my rough calculation, that should take place sometime this week, if it has not already. Still, one can test-drive CS 5.5.0.0 in its full glory. Note: that was NOT always the way, as all things MPEG were disabled. That changed, and in a very good way, with the release of CS 5.5. There are also no watermarks in that CS 5.5 trial - just the 30 day limit on usage. Kudos to Adobe for handling that version's trial differently and in a much better way.
Just that one change probably saved 1M words in the PrPro forum, as we had to explain what WAS and WAS NOT available in the older versions' trials. Now, there is nothing to explain.
If you are looking to upgrade to PrPro CS 5.5, I urge you to give the trial a full shakedown. Nothing is missing, and nothing is limited. Then, if you have issues, check out Sheri's list of fixes, and improvements in 5.5.1 By the time that you read this, the trial might well incorporate the 5.5.1 update?
As for PrE 10, I have not had the opportunity to test it. I had to decline the beta-testing, due to a very heavy travel schedule, and it taking a bit longer to get me up to 64-bit OS's, than anticipated. However, and as Steve mentions, had I been in the beta-testing corps, I could not comment on that process, due to NDA's. As soon as I am on the ground, more often, than in the air, I intend to test PrE 10, and will report on my observations.
Like you, I have been very pleased with my PrPro 2.0, and other than a handful of Feature Requests to make it better, have never had an issue with it. I held off on CS 3 and CS 4, because there was little that I needed, and because of the reports in the forums on those two versions. I've had CS 5.5 MC just sitting in the box, waiting on the 64-bit machines, so I can load it up, and test. In the meantime, PrPro 2.0 still works beautifully for me.
Good luck, and do give CS 5.5 a test run. I think that you will like it. More on PrE 10, when I get a moment.

Premiere Elements has encountered an error: MasterClipFactory

The windows version of my plug-in (developed using AE CS3 SDK) works fine in AE CS4, CS3 7.0, 6.5 and 6.0 as well as Premiere Pro CS4,CS3, 2.0, 1.5 and 1.0 and in Premiere Elements 3 and 4.
In Premiere Elements 8 I get the error...
Premiere Elements has encountered an error. [..\..Src\Clip\MasterClipFactory.cpp-361]
when I move the mouse over my plug-in icon int he Edit panel.
This happens before my GlobalSetup procedure is called, so I can't debug.
Is it a PIPL problem? Any ideas?

This happens with the Skeleton Effect example too. There must be something about After Effect filters that Premiere Elements doesn't like.

Camera Shake corrections in Premiere Elements 11

I have an interview that has several camera shakes in it. I have tried to add the video stabilizer to the clip, but that freezes all movement and continues with the audio. Everything I have researched says there should be a video warp, but I am not seeing this on PE11. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am new at this!! Thanks

mallorykpoe
The Warp Stabilizer is a feature of Premiere Pro, not Premiere Elements (any version).
Apparently you have found the Premiere Elements 11 Video Stabilizer/Stabilizer under fx Effects in your Premiere Elements 11. (By the way, on what computer operating system are you running Premiere Elements 11?)
I would give another look at the Premiere Elements 11 Stabilizer effect, going a lot less on the settings. Often here you gain more by less than by more.
The results also will depend on the nature of your footage. And, note that a file to which Stabilizer is applied has a markedly increase Timeline render time.
There are alternative products. If you are a Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit users, the Movie Maker will present with a Video Stabilizer that you might want to explore.
Please review and consider and then let us know the results obtained.
Thank you.

About that damaged Premiere Elements 0.9 project of mine + a few questions....

First off, I should have posted this thread for a while ago, but stuff in life etc came in the the way and such. Anyway, remember that stupid damaged project of mine which kept on crashing my Adobe Premiere Elements 0.9 with a "Serious Error" message?. Well, that issue, as far as I can remember, never really got resolved. However, it sort of got resolved on it's own as I went further sideways instead of trying to go forward when I couldn't. More clearly, even tough the project was damaged and kept crashing my Premiere Elements, I was still able to get out a WMV movie/video of the half-finnished project. Then I uploaded that video in that little test-project I did a time ago when troubleshooting about this. And in that test-project I continued from where I last was working on the half-finnished project. So far and up until the finnished results of the whole project and video, that newer project never ever crashed nor interrupted anything like the other, damaged project did. And now, for a while ago, that project I started on, which became damaged and started crashing, and by continuing on it on from a saved videoversion of it on a new project, it's all completely finnished and working very well. I still have that musicvideo (yes, it's a musicvideo project) saved as a WMV video file, still working and going smoothly and as I created it to be, all completely finnished. While I'm so happy with the ending results and that this all finally sorted out in the end, I am still kind of confused and also pretty nervous and worried about If this same crashing dilemma, like with that damaged project of mine, might happen again in the future... And If it does, what then? Is my Afobe Premiere Elements program then damaged forever? Will I be able to create new projects and work with them as I use to without any worry etc? Or is this project-crashing problem with that "Serious Error" message just some kind of random probem which may and can occur from time to time randomly? Is this just some kind of random thing that just sometimes occurs and is to walk by with creating a new project like I did? Or is this problem something to look out for worry about in the future?
I've double checked also, nothing is wrong with my computers speed, harddrive nor prestation etc, plus I'm using a PC for my videoprojects alongside with all my games. But I've heard that using too much videoeffects in a Adobe Premiere project, even in the latest version, may be too much for the project and thus it'll crash like my damaged project did.... But then again, this is just something I've heard. What do you guys think? Do you believe and know If using too many video effects in a Premiere Elements project, even the latest versions of the same program, could be too much for the project and thus causing it to crash and cause trouble etc? Or do you know of another theory of why a Adobe Premiere Element project just suddenly goes damaged and just goes crashing while a "Serious Error" message comes popping up? Why is things like this happening and what can be done to solve and fix it?
I know that I don't have any reason to ask for the moment as my problem sort of got resolved, but I'm still worried about my future projects I have in planned. Also, I'm thinking sort of forward and to the future here, and then all those Premiere Elements users who also may encounter this same problem....
Any advice, help and tipses by and from anyone on this issue and the questions I asked here is highly welcome and appreciated!
Greetings,
ZeldAlice

I still have that musicvideo (yes, it's a musicvideo project) saved as a WMV video file, still working and going smoothly and as I created it to be, all completely finnished. While I'm so happy with the ending results and that this all finally sorted out in the end, I am still kind of confused and also pretty nervous and worried about If this same crashing dilemma, like with that damaged project of mine, might happen again in the future... And If it does, what then? Is my Afobe Premiere Elements program then damaged forever? Will I be able to create new projects and work with them as I use to without any worry etc? Or is this project-crashing problem with that "Serious Error" message just some kind of random probem which may and can occur from time to time randomly? Is this just some kind of random thing that just sometimes occurs and is to walk by with creating a new project like I did? Or is this problem something to look out for worry about in the future?
I've double checked also, nothing is wrong with my computers speed, harddrive nor prestation etc, plus I'm using a PC for my videoprojects alongside with all my games. But I've heard that using too much videoeffects in a Adobe Premiere project, even in the latest version, may be too much for the project and thus it'll crash like my damaged project did.... But then again, this is just something I've heard. What do you guys think? Do you believe and know If using too many video effects in a Premiere Elements project, even the latest versions of the same program, could be too much for the project and thus causing it to crash and cause trouble etc? Or do you know of another theory of why a Adobe Premiere Element project just suddenly goes damaged and just goes crashing while a "Serious Error" message comes popping up? Why is things like this happening and what can be done to solve and fix it?
I know that I don't have any reason to ask for the moment as my problem sort of got resolved, but I'm still worried about my future projects I have in planned. Also, I'm thinking sort of forward and to the future here, and then all those Premiere Elements users who also may encounter this same problem....
Any advice, help and tipses by and from anyone on this issue and the questions I asked here is highly welcome and appreciated!
Greetings,

Import newspaper to Premiere Elements 11

I need to import a newspaper (text and pictures) to Premiere Elements 11. My problem is; When I play the video the text is in a poor quality. I have tried to import different files (PSD and PSB and many more), and I have also tried to resized image to 1000 x 750 pixels. Nothing seem to help. What can I do?

Well, newspapers are printed on very poor paper, with limited quality applied to ink management - they are just mass produced, with the cheapest possible products.
Starting back with the original scan, what is the resolution at that point - note: for the end product, video, the resolution will be thrown out, and only pixel x pixel dimensions will matter. Still, if one is starting with a high-rez scan, when they manipulate the Image, they are working with the best initial product available.
Next, is this newspaper B/W only, or in color?
If B/W, I would explore doing an Image Adjustment>Threshold in Photoshop, and probably an Unsharp Mask, or Smart Sharpen (but do not over do that).
When done, I would Scale to the size needed, and Save_As a PSD, to be Imported into PrE.
That will probably be as good as it gets.
I have had to "build" newspapers, with artwork that mirrored the masthead, and then the type. Newspaper photographs can be problematic, as what got printed is usually the only accessible image.
Can you link to your scan (maybe on DropBox, or similar), so that we can see what you are starting with.
Good luck,

Premiere elements 7 error while playing text animation

I installed premiere elements 7 on my 64 bit windows 7 os. Everything has worked fine so far except when I play a clip that involves text animation. It starts to play then freezes. A box pops up and says "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe has stopped working" Windows tries to detect the problems and it says, "A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly windows will close the program and notify you if a solution."
The is a brand new computer and meets all of the requirements. I have it installed on my laptop using Vista with no problem.
thanks

Windows 7 64-bit seems to be causing a lot of problems for Premiere Elements users. This is not a problem with the program or the operating system. It's most likely related to the OS's 64-bit drivers, which are not yet fully compatible with 32-bit programs.
Have you gone to Windows Updates and ensured you have even the non-critical updates (particularly the hardware drivers)?
If it is a Dell, have you gone to the Dell site, looked up your model and ensured you have all of the Dell updates?
Do you have the latest version of Quicktime?
These are not guaranteed to fix your problem. You are, after all, using a brand-new 64-bit operating system that has not yet fully evolved. But they'll certainly increase the odds in your favor.
