Those Having Startup Issues with Premiere Elements 4.0

After a long night, spanning many hours and lots of swearing, I got round a problem that SOME people may have with Elements 4.0 or other versions.
My problem was that the program would not start. It would say "Adobe Premiere Elements has stopped working" then "Windows is trying to look for a solution"
I LITERALLY tried everything, but it still would not work.
Finally, the problem was Quick Time. If Quick Time does not work, it may clash with Elements and cause it not to work. DELETE, Quick Time. You maye have to go to program files and do this manually, then use the uninstall program to permanently do so. Once this is done, then Elements should be up and running.
Yeah, I know...NEED an update.

Welcome to the forum and thank you for the report. QT is one of the elements that we usually mention early on, as PrE relies much more heavily on it, than most users think. They are mistaken that it is only used for MOV and MP4 Assets, and that if they do not have those in a Project, QT is not in the mix - it is.
As for versions, I am still on PrE 4, but will likely upgrade, if for no other reason, than so I can better help folk here.
Appreciated and good luck,
Hunt

  • Installation issues with premiere elements 10

    I am trying to re-install premiere elements 10 on my PC. I have windows7. I keep getting an error message at the end of install saying that there is an error in installing shared technologies... It's never done this in the past and disc is fine. Help

    Hi,
    It seems like you are trying to install a wrong package. There are different versions for 64 bit and 32 bit versions of operating system. Can you let us know which Operating system are you working on so that we can suggest a correct version.

  • Issues with Premiere Elements 8...

    Just purchased and installed elements 8 on my rather old pc (like 5 years) which I've been upgrading constantly to avoid having to buy a new one. Everything seems to work fine, there's some slight lags when rendering clips etc, but the main issue is when I try to use to use the time stretch tool. I'm just trying to compress a 20 or so minute long shot into 15 seconds, and every time I do, it will render the shot and then crash eventually, without playing it. Can anyone help me with this really annoying problem and maybe give me some advice as to how I can maybe get a better performance from the software?
    I'm running XP sp2 (I just factory reset so I'm still updating for sp3)
    Nvidia Geforce 8400 gs
    3gb ram
    pentium 5 2.66GHz

    Well, I see two instant issues: lack of defragmented free space, plus the bottleneck of partitions. This ARTICLE will give you some background on partitions, especially for video-editing.
    Next, what is the connection type for the external? If USB, then there could well be issues there, as the computer can encounter read/write errors, as the programs will shove material, and ask for more, much faster than that connection type can provide. USB externals are fine for archiving, but can be very problematic, when trying to edit to/from. I use FW-800's with no issues, but eSATA would be even better.
    Do you have a laptop (probably mentioned above)? If so, can you use a PCMCIA, or ExpressCard to go to eSATA externals?
    If a desktop, I would certainly look at adding at least one additional internal HDD. Not sure where you are located, but Fry's (Western US retailer) just had WD 1.5TB SATA internals, with full installation kit for US $149, and if one uses say ATA-300's, they had a 2TB WD for US$89.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    [Edit] Just noticed "PAL," so forget Fry's, unless they have opened some UK/Euro stores - sorry about that.

  • Audio Issue With Premiere Elements 11

    I have a project that I have been working on and have exported it to a .mov file just fine a few months ago.  I recently decided to change some clips and add different ones to it.  Somehow in this process my audio stopped exporting!  It's still there and plays just fine in Premiere but not export with the video no mater what format that I save it in.  When exporting, I have double-checked to make sure that the "Export Audio" box is checked.  I've tried replacing the MP3 audio file with a WAV version of it and that didn't work.  I went back to my original project file and now that won't even export the audio.  I also did a test and created a new project with a new video clip and separate audio file and the sound is exporting but cuts in and out.  I did another test and exported a clip that was with it's original audio file from the camera and it was fine.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for me?  I'm all out of ideas to try and hair to pull out...
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure how that can help me.  The problem is within the file not the player.  I had sent one directly to Vimeo and the audio isn't there either.  Now I just tried again after a reboot and I got audio fo 9 seconds and then in dropped.

  • Problems with Premiere Elements 9.0.1 on Mac OS X Lion

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Lion and I am having several stability issues with Premiere Elements 9.0.1 now.  None of these issues occurred on Snow Leopard.  I experienced these issues on a machine that was upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion after Premier Elements 9.0.1 was installed and I also had problems with a Premiere Elements installation on a clean install of OS X Lion.
    I noticed the following issues:
    1) System hangs when trying to save a project.  The "save" window stays open at 100% completion.
    2) Nothing happens when dragging footage to sceneline.  The clips do show up on the timeline, though
    3) System crashed when trying to upload a video to YouTube
    Could you please get these issues fixed and provide a patch for Premiere Elements?
    Thanks.

  • Freeze issue in Premiere Elements 3

    Hi,
    We are trying to solve an issue with Premiere Elements 3 for a customer.
    Yes, I know it a very old version, but it is just a home user & it has been working fine for him.  He last used it several months ago with the same hardware & all worked fine.
    Now when he goes to use it again it basically freezes up.  If you turn the camera on it pops up asking the application to use.  If you select Premiere Elements it opens up the window with "capture device offline" & doesn't seem to respond to any mouse clicks.   If you go to task manager & end the task (often get a message Premiere is not responding), go into Windows Movie Maker this works fine - you can even control the camera (start, stop, etc).
    If you start Premiere with the camera turned off you can seem to navigate around menus, etc no problem (until you turn the camer on & try to capture).
    Consequently I assume that the hardware is OK.  Because Premiere Elements worked before I presume that maybe an update or some new application is stopping it from working, but I'm not sure what it is.
    Here is a summary of the system specs:
    Win XP Home SP2
    Premiere Elements V3.0
    Sony DCR-HC96  (also tried their old Sony DCR-TRV355E but this gives the same symptoms)
    Firewire (onboard Asus P5N-E motherboard)
    Any thoughts would be greatly appeciated.
    Gary.
    Perth, Australia.

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for your assistance.
    I tried all of the items you mentioned, but it still gives the same result.
    Interestingly once it freezes if I go to task manager & End Program (the only way to close it) I can go straight to Windows Movie Maker & it works perfectly - I can even control the play, stop, etc.
    Whilst this sort of proves it isn't hardware, I had a spare firewire card so I disabled the onboard card & put in the new card - but the problem is still the same.
    The next thing I have tried is to install the trial of Premiere Elements 9 (the customer is happy to buy this if it solves the problem), but the symptoms are basically the same.  With the camera turned off, the software seems to work well & I can go in & out of all the menus.  Once I turn the camera on, the device appears in the pull down list (something like MS DV ...) but none of the buttons (eg play, etc) work & it sort of freezes up & task manager says its not responding.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Gary.

    I have been having a issue with getting the colors on my monitor to match the colors fro my print lab. I now have the monitor calibrated to match the prints but when I open elements it doesn't use the same colors. If i have it use the calibrated profile by changing the color management settings, the color picker no longer shows true white or black. How do I get elements 12 to honor the new calibrated settings?

    Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
    I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
    Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
    It says ;
    Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
    Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
    Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
    Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
    Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
    Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
    Continuing...
    And stops ...
    Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

  • Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

    I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
    Here is what I am working with:
    Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
    OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
    6Gigs RAM
    3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
    I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files.  The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen.  The system has slowed down to almost a standstill.  Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze.  I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times.   The program also freezes on startup frequently.
    No other programs are running.  When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete.  The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge.  It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed.  Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
    I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

    Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
    Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
    If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
    With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
    Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
    Good luck,

  • New Nvidia driver to resolve crash/quit issues in Premiere Elements 8.

    For Nvidia users, there is a driver update that will fix both of the following issues:
    Premiere Elements 8 does not restart after closing on Windows
    Frequent and inexplicable crashes with Premiere Elements 8
    To resolve these issues, you should update your GPU (graphics card) driver to version 195.81 or higher by following the steps below.
    1.      Identify which GPU driver you have by right clicking on the Desktop > Properties > Settings and in the Display field it will be displayed.
    2.      Go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and download driver for your GPU card. Its size varies from 80 to 120MB depending upon the GPU card model.
    3.      After the download is complete, run the driver install Installation. This should take less than 2 minutes.
    There are no known issues that the latest driver update will cause.
    ***If the update steps shown above do not upgrade your system to version 195.81 or higher, then you may need to download the driver directly. Use the link below only if the steps above do not update your driver to 195.81 or higher. The download page for Vista and Windows 7 is located here:

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_winvista_64bit_195.81_beta.html

    I was having crashes so I installed the new driver.  Crashes are gone (so far).
    However, now a piece of video media (in a pre-existing project) displays with the red "media offline" error.  The thumbnail in the media listing in PE8 is correct.
    I can see the video in file manager, and it plays fine from windows media player.
    If I try to import it again, I get the error "The import reported a generic error".

  • Graphics Card issues with Premiere Pro CS4

    Hey there,
    I've placed the screenshot of my problem at the bottom of this post.
    I'm having lots of issues with premiere pro CS4 and editing videos since I upgraded to Windows 7. I have some .mpg and .MP4 videos. Both of which play fine in WMP, VLC, WinAmp, VirtualDJ etc. But when I load them into PPRO CS4, as you can see in the screenshot they go green and pink. And they don't move. I.e you see one still image and hear only audio.
    Now a fix I have found for this is to uninstall my graphics card. But this is no way an option to edit videos, as the resoultion goes from 1920 x 1080 to 1024 x 768.
    I should add that I am runnig the following system:
    Dell Vostro 1000 Latpop
    Windows 7 Ultimate 32Bit
    2.00Ghz AMD Sempron Processor
    2GB RAM
    ATI Radeon XPress 1150 Graphics card
    I have the latest graphics card drivers installed. I am just wondering what the problem is, and a potential fix. Would be great to hear any advice,
    Regards,
    Adam.

    OK, here are some other things to think about:
    ATI/AMD Catalyst seems to have an issue with one of the latest versions, maybe rollback to an earlier version.
    Depending on your OS, check Hardware Acceleration (though this usually affect smoothness of playback) in Control Panel>System>Hardware>Advanced.
    Check your OpenGL settings.
    In Catalyst, turn OFF any GPU Acceleration
    That's about all that I can think of for now, and those are shots in the dark.
    Good luck,

  • Can i edit MTS files with premiere elements 13

    I have a new camcorder and I have a problem editing with premiere elements 7, does elements 13  offer a solution? I believe it is the type of file that is not compatible.

    bordstiff
    In this thread I have no interests but to supply reliable information to you. What I have written stands as is. And, my answer to your questions will continue to be honest and for your consideration. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask me.
    As for AVCHD.mts and AVCHD.mp4 in camera whose specifications offer the choice of AVCHD or .MP4.....both have been reported to use a form of AVCHD video compression with different wrapper formats (.mts and .mp4). Again, I did not post to go further into that. Please refer to the following link's post dated February 12, 2014 as one discussion of the matter.
    FCP.co Forum :: Topic: AVCHD vs. MP4 ? (1/2)
    I did not discover that AVCHD.mts does not play back the audio portion of an AVCHD.mts file when played back in the Elements Organizer 13 player. That has been the reality of Premiere Elements 13/Elements Organizer 13 users who found this out by themselves later than sooner. And, I confirm their results in those cases. There is no fix for this at the present time, and that is a user to user honest non marketing report. If this Elements Organizer issue is not an important concern for you, then this is a non issue for you.
    Best wishes with your projects.

  • I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s

    I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s from AT&T.  I do not download anything huge at all.
    I looked into it and figured out that the phone dials out nightly at 12:29am every night.   I went into my settings and went to general..about..diagnostics and useage..then diagnostics and useage data to see this.  I then clicked don't send...but I am still getting useage alerts.  Can anyone help me please...
    Thanks

    Honestly, from reading the thread linked, they all come off as a bunch of whiney people that cannot be bothered to help themselves.
    Little to nothing in that thread indicates an issue beyond inept consumers.  Yes, I read several pages on the incessant gripes.  Very few made any actual attempts to troubleshoot issues before whining about the "Apple issue" and those that did actual troubleshooting got their issues resolved.
    So no, Apple has nothing to fix beyond a few specific devices that are experiencing hardware issues.
    If you have actually put forth effort and done the basic troubleshooting, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.  Whining will get nothing accomplished.

    Hi, i am having an issue with a basic motion scroll effect.
    I already watched and read every tutorial out there regarding this topic and even tried the adobe chat support, but the guy on the other end of the line disconnected me…, probably he didn't understand what i wanted from him because english is not my native language, so a will try to be very, very clear about this one..
    please note, that i am new to muse, this is my first project ever.
    my idea is as following:
    when the customer comes to our companies site, he just sees our logo on a white Background. the logo consists of, say, four elements. when the customer scrolls down, the logo starts to disassamble: first the first part of the logo flies out the left side of the site, then the second part of the logo vanishes down, then the third part of the logo flies to the right, then the fourth part of the logo flies to the top and out of the customers view. given what i have seen, it is possible to do that….
    so…..
    now i have the four parts of my logo imported as png files into muse and assembled them in design view to build our companies logo. I select every one of the four parts and go into the scroll effects tab left beside the layers tab. first i enter the same values for every one of the four parts: initial motion: 0x and 0x again for the left and right motion; key position ( t-handle) : 0px; final motion: 0x and 0x again for the left and right value.
    now i hit "preview".: the logo is "pinned" at the correct position, i can scroll but the logo stays where it is. so far so good….
    now i select all the four elements again and go to the scroll effecs tab. at "final motion", i click the down arrows and enter 1x. I hit Preview…
    when i am scrolling down the WHOLE logo goes down…. so far so good.
    NOW i want the first part of the logo to go down, THEN the second part to go left, THEN the third part to go up, THEN the fourth part to go right.
    so i select ONLY the first part, go to the scroll motion tab, at "final motion" i click the left arrows, then i enter 1x.( the up-down value, i set to 0 again).. i hit Preview…
    the first part of the logo goes left as soon as i start scrolling, the other three parts still go down at the same time…
    NOW i want the second part of the logo to start moving, when the first part has left the scene, not at the same time as the first part.
    SO I SELECT THE SECOND PART AND DRAG ITS T-HANDLE (KEY POSITION) DOWN TO, LETS SAY, 200PX. SO IT STARTS MOVING ONLY AFTER THE CUSTOMER HAS REACHED THAT POINT, RIGHT?
    BUT WHEN I PREVIEW THAT ****, THE LOGO IS NOT TOGETHER ANYMORE, THE SECOND PART IS FLOATING ANYWHERE ELSE BUT WHERE IT SHOULD BE…..WTFF????
    short: when i move the t handle, the initial position of the object changes. thats what i said to the adobe employee, but he said, that thats the expected behavior….
    but if thats so, how can i have my four parts correctly together, so they form my logo, but with different t handles, so that they all start to move at different times??
    Pleeease help me, i am dying of frustration here…..:( that behavior cant be right, right?
    Thanks so much to everyone who actually reads this post and tries to help…….
    All the best,
    Niki Lapan

    Thank you so much for helping,
    But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
    Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

  • Having an issue with passing the text of a link to a session variable.

    I am having an issue with passing the text from a link to a session variable. I am adding this html as a literal for each item in the list that i have populated with a query.

    this.Controls.Add(lit[i]);
    I use one of the list positions as the text for a link in two different spots. For now, lets only talk about the line:
    <a href='#' runat='server' onserverclick='UserProfile_Click'>" + posts[i + 3] + " </a>
    Since I am generating these controls at pageLoad, I can't make them <asp:Linkbutton>s. And since they are anchor elements, I don't have access to an onCommand attribute or onservercommand attribute.
    All I want to do is access the content from inside the specific link tags that I generate on link click and set it as a session variable. That's what I would like my UserProfile_Click function to do. I cant commandargs it in like i can with a linkbutton's
    OnCommnad attribute, however.
    My fear is that the onserverclick attribute resolves so something else on pageLoad normally and since I am generating it the way I am similar to the way a <asp:linkButton> resolves to a generated JavaScript.
    Any help?

  • Problems with Premiere Elements 8 after updating to Nvidia driver 195.81 or later?

    Hello PRE8 users,
    If you have an Nvidia-based graphics chipset, and you've updated to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later and you're still experiencing frequent crashes and freezes in Premiere Elements 8, then we'd like to hear from you in this thread. As mentioned in the announcement at the top of this forum, we believe most of these issues are caused by a problem with an Nvidia driver that was released after PRE8 was developed, and that the issues should be resolved by updating to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later. Notes from the announcement I mentioned above are copied below for your reference.
