Transcoding Error with Premiere Elements 7

I have worked with Lightroom and with Photoshop Elements, and I am now trying to use Premiere Elements (7) to create a project of video clips and stills from my Canon DSLR.  I can create a DVD with eleven video clips (although it will not play on my old-ish DVD player, just on my computer), but when I add 18 JPEGs (generated from RAW files), I get a "transcoding error" when I try to burn a DVD.  Even without burning, when I try Preview, the still images look extremely low-res.  Any way I can get this to work?
And, please pardon me for saying it, but I use Lightroom a great deal, Elements somewhat, and I have a pretty new 4 GB RAM Dell with much NTFS disk space, and two decades of doing computer support professionally.  Given all of that, Premiere Elements seems to be an atrocious performer - 7 anyway.  It takes an incredibly long time to load, and starts flashing "running low on memory" messages shockingly quickly.  A glance at forum messages suggests that 8 may not be an improvement.  Any suggestions on performance?  Lightroom is pretty much lightning fast.

Welcome to the forum.
First, editing Video is far more intense on the computer, than even very large images in PS. The resources issue can likely be overcome by the tips in this ARTICLE.
Also, with any resources issues, remember that these can be physical RAM, and also the Windows Virtual Memory (Page File). The size, location and management of the Page File can be very important, especially if one has many other programs and Processes stealing resources unnecessarily.
Last, let's talk about the burning (and Transcoding) of a DVD-Video. First place to look would be the size of your still images. You cannot display more pixels, than the Frame Size of your Project. Unless you are doing a lot of animation, having them any larger than the Frame Size is a waste. The quality will actually be better, if you do your resizing in PS, and not letting PrE do it for you. This ARTICLE will give you some tips. Having to process large stills will rob your system of necessary resources.
As for the burned DVD-Video not playing in a set-top player, and only a computer, the most likely causes of this are the blank media itself, and too high a burn speed. I strongly recommend using Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden media, and recommend against using Memorex, TDK, recent RiteK or any store brands. I also would use slower speed media, as PrE will try to get the fastest burn, based on the speed of the blank media and the burner. Slower is better. I can manually assign the speed in my authoring program, and choose a speed at least half of the max.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Transcoding error with Premiere Elements at 50% encoding point

    I am getting a transcoding error at exactly the 50% encoding point multiple times.  I have reduced the amount of video to burn and also tried burning to a file with no success.  I have even purchased a 1 TB hard drive, re-installed Windows XP and the Premiere Elements software to make sure I had enough hard drive space and still am getting the error.  Any other ideas.

  • Constant errors with Premiere Elements/Photoshop 7 - will upgrade to 9 help?

    I currently have Premiere Elements 7 and Photoshop 7 on my computer. Both crash a lot, often with no error messages. I also cannot seem to backup my Photoshop files. I want to purchase and install Premiere Elements 9 (and Photoshop) but am worried about losing my existing images/video. I'm also concerned that I will have the same issues once I upgrade to version 9.
    If I cannot backup these files, is it probable that I will lose them? Any advice is appreciated.

    Thanks for the update. Sorry that the news was not better. But do not give up.
    After I saw your message, I did some Google searching. The following is some of what I found
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/windows-installer-error-1 325-documents-is-not-a/d70411d0-017d-41f0-b5b4-0861b6ca9955
    I have some further suggestions which you might consider. If you have professional help, then best let it handle the overall situation, especially if it is going to take you into the Registry where you might not feel comfortable.
    My suggestion would be to uninstall Premiere Elements 7, do a run through with ccleaner (regular clearner and registry cleaner parts) and then reinstall Premiere Elements 7. Many have used ccleaner with pros and no cons. In the registry cleaning part, there is a step for you to backup the registry in a file saved to Documents or wherever you want on the computer hard drive.
    But, go with what you feel comfortable doing. If you have Premiere Elements 7 projects in the works and can get into Premiere Elements, you may want to Project Archive them for safe keeping.during this time whether you run the ccleaner or not.
    We will be watching for your progress.
    Thank you.

    I am trying to reinstall my copy of Premiere Elements 3.0. My desktop crashed and I had to reimage the hard drive, necessitating reinstallation of most of my software.

I get an error message to the effect that "Premiere Elements could not load audio drivers--Please reinstall and try again."  I've tried several times with the same result. Any ideas?

  • Error Installing Premiere Elements 9 - Exit Code 7

    Hi, I'm trying to install Premiere Elements 9 on a Mac (running 10.6.4), but it always comes up with an error, and the program can't be installed. Last time I tried it got to about 95% but then gave me this error:

    I've tried this four or five times, and I always get exactly the same error. The only help the installer offered was "Please try restarting your system and try again." and all I could find on Adobe Support was "Install under Safe Boot Mode", which I tried, and it still failed.
    Does anyone have any ideas whatsoever as to what I can do to actually get this installed?
    Thank you very much in advance, anyone who can help!

    I've never seen so many error codes related to language, jobbo! That's very strange.
    Meantime, I've loaded Premiere Elements and run it on a couple of Macs, and it usually loads right up and runs beautifully. There does seem to be a conflict with Bridge sometimes, but I'm not sure if that's the case here or not.
    It might be worth contacting Adobe's tech support. (You find contact information under the Contact button at the top of this page.) And, when you do, ASK FOR A MANAGER, don't just talk to whoever answers the phone. Most of the guys on the phones are just working from scripts and KB articles. If you can get a manager on the line, he and she will work through your unique situation.
    Meantime, I'll keep my eyes open for solutions.
    (BTW, I'm assuming you're using at least OSX 10.4 on at least a dual-core Intel processor.)

    if the error message was about a missing archive, you need to place both the exe and 7z files in the same directory for photoshop elements.  and then do the same for premiere elements.
    then click the exe in each directory.

  • Proxy Editing with Premiere Elements 10

    I just read the great post on how to proxy edit with version 7 at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/390600?tstart=0, but I cannot find a way to save a preset with Premiere Elements 10 so I could then modify it to display previews in low-res and output in full HD. The online help from the program mentions "creating" presets, but then only describes how to slelect existing presets. Can anyone tell me how to make a new project preset, or better yet, if there is a built-in way to proxy edit with 10? Thanks!

    For reasons that I have not figured out, your last message arrived as an email notification of an Adobe post, but it is not posted in your thread yet. In that post you wrote:
    The properties for the clips shows:
    Type: MPEG Movie
    Image Size: 1920x1080
    Frame Rate: 23.976
    The Interpret Footage settings show under Frame Rate the radio button for Use frame rate from file: 23.9750 is selected, and under Pixel Aspect Ratio the radio button for use pixel aspect ration from file is selected.
    I never received a message to change the project preset.
    As a test, I imported a clip that was shot at 1920x1080 30fps and added it to the timeline. I did not receive an error message, but this clip also has a red line above it on the timeline (as do the 24 fps clips).
    Thanks for the help AT and SG.
    Based on the information supplied, I cannot see a reason why your video should be displaying with a red line over its content
    IF
    a. Your project preset = NTSC DLSR 1080p DLSR 1080p30 @ 23.97
    b. You are dragging the import (1080p @ 23.7 progressive frames per second) from Media to Timeline as the first video to be placed on that Timeline
    Please review these criteria and let us know if you spot anything that you have as not consistent with a and b.
    Keep in mind, when you bring in a file that is 1080p30 into this project set for 1080p24, you would expect to get a red line over the 1080p30 content since there is a mismatch between file and the project settings.
    Another important matter that I am not clear on...is your problem only in previewing? Or does the problem go to previewing as well as exported product?
    Thanks.

  • 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.
    Best regards,
    Chad
    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.
    This is an announcement. There is a separate discussion topic located here.
    ***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:

  • Is it possible to make a cartoon animation video with Premiere Elements ?

    Is it possible to insert 16 different images every seconds in a video ? I will like to make an cartoon animation. Is it possible with Premiere Elements ? It look like it is only possible to change a picture/image every 1 seconds.
    What software is good to make a small cartoon in size 140 * 140 pixels ?
    Best regards,
    Bo

    Bo,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Doing stop-motion animation in PrE is easy, but as PrE is designed for common Video Frame Sizes, that 140 x 140 pixels will be tough. However, if you create your images at a larger size, that matches a common Video Frame Size, say 720 x 480, you can output to smaller size. In general terms, Video is horizontal rectangular.
    To do the stop-motion animation in PrE, irrespective of that Frame Size, you would go to Edit>Preferences>General>Still Frame Duration, and there, you can set that Duration from 1 Frame, to almost infinity. Note: unlike some other settings on that General screne, the Still Frame Duration is in Frames.
    You might be better off using a program like Photoshop Elements, and outputting to an Animated GIF. There are also many Animated GIF programs available, and many are free.
    Adobe Flash would be a great choice, but it's not inexpensive. Same for Adobe After Effects. Both of those are designed to do all sorts of non-standard Video animations. However, for the price of either of those, one could buy dozens of Animated GIF creation programs.
    PrE can do similar with Animated GIF (I could not find this in PrE 11, but others found it in previous versions), but due to its design around common Video specs., there will be limitations to overcome.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
