Transferring Premiere Elements 11 from Windows 7 to Windows 8 computer question

Do i have to use my backups to reinstall Premiere Elements correctly, or can i simply add the internal drive i used in Windows 7 strictly for Premiere, move it to the new Windows 8 computer, reinstall the Elements program, and direct it to the proper hard drive? I have current incremental backups on a NAS drive, but it seems like i should just be able to use the internal drive that already has everything on it.
Thanks,

What do you have - purchased installation files/serial number from an online purchase from Adobe direct or installation disc with serial number purchased in boxed packaging from an authorized reseller.
If you do not plan on using 11 on Windows 7 thereafter,
Deactivate 11 on 7, Help Menu/Deactivate - close out of there
Uninstall Control Panel Route
Deactivate and uninstall are not the same thing. Depending on your plans, you may not want to uninstall, just deactivate.
You are simply going to install Premiere Elements 11 to Windows 8 computer, using installation files or installation disc.
Do you have Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 projects that you want to salvage? If so, how many? I would archive them
File Menu/Project Archiver/Copy Project and transfer the Copied Folder via USB to the Windows 8 computer.
For Elements Organizer considerations, please review the following
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
At this time I have no comments on your backups on NAS and how it might relate to your end goal.
Please review the above and then let us know if any of the above works for you.
Thanks.

Add On...Just in case note, Adobe allows you to install/activate the purchase serial number for a given product on no more than
2 of your computers. Then use these same products with the same activated serial number one at a time.

Complete uninstall of Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 9 from Windows 7 64 bit

I purchased Photoshop Elements 11 and Primere Elements 11. I am manually uninstalling Photoshop and Primere Elements 9 before installing ver 11.
I went through the Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs to do this. The process completed, but the following problems remain:
1. Entries for Photoshop Elements 9 and Primere Elements 9 are still in the list in CP - Add/Remove Programs. Re-uninstalling from there brings up Windows Installer msg " This action is valid for products that are currentlly installed"
2. Entries for Photoshop Elements 9 and Primere Elements 9 are still in the Start Button - All Programs.
3. The entries for the uninstalled programs are not listed at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
3. I could delete the folders pertaining to Photoshop Elements 9 from where the files were installed originally. However, when I try to do that I get a msg saying that I need permission from SYSTEM to do that and the delete fails.
A gazillion folders and files remain in D:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 9
4. The only entries in Services.msc for Adobe are for Acrobat Update Service and Flash Player Update Service.
So, obviously, the uninstall did not complete properly.
How do I manually remove all traces of Photoshop Elements 9 and Primere Elements 9 from my system? Does Adobe have any automated tool to do this?
Thanks.

There is a "clean script" for CS products that you might look at, but I have NO idea if it works for Elements products

Transferring Premiere Elements 12 files from Mac to Windows

I am adminstrating an oral history project. We have several people who will be editing using Premiere Elements 12.
The computers will be Macs and Windows.
We need to be able to transfer project files and completed movies between both types of computers.
Fats32 is limited because files can only be 4G and the raw files are about an hour and the finished file will be able 13-15GB
NTFS can only be read by MACs and written by Windows
HFS+ only written and read by MACs
Any suggestions for what media can be used to transfer and this is another big questions will a ac file be readable by windows and visa-versa
Thank you for your suggestions

I am strictly an Elements Windows person but, taking that out of the equation, I would go Windows.
Premiere Elements Windows and Mac are essentially the same in video editing principles, but there are differences between the two. And, these differences often end up with Premiere Elements Mac on the short side...many Windows Only features.
A while back I wrote a blog post on Mac Information Round Up to try to focus in on the Premiere Elements Mac situation. That blog post link is
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/08/pe11-mac-information-round-up.html
Included in the blog post is a long list of WIndows Only Effects. The most annoying Windows Only for the Mac people appears to be related to the Green Screening Key, Blue Screen Key, Chroma Key. I propose the use of the Difference Matte for Premiere Elements Mac users as mentioned in the blog post.
And, the Elements Organizer in Premiere Elements Windows does come with a slideshow feature.
If you are going to go Windows, best have Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer so that it is a 64 bit application which can take advantage of the 64 bit resources. Check me on this, but I am almost certain that Premiere Elements Mac needs to be on 64 bit, but also with 64 bit processor in order for it to be a 64 bit application.
If there are to be "flaws" in the program, they are more likely to be troubleshooted to resolution in Premiere Elements Windows than Premiere Elements Mac. Versions of Premiere Elements Mac purchased from the Mac App Store have been highly problematic, and the cause(s) often left unresolved.
That is my take on the matter.

I have installed Premiere Elements 11 from a disc I bought from Amazon. I keeps asking me to re-install or if it does start stops a few minutes after I start a project. I have a windows 8.1 PC. I have tried numerous times to install the program and also to open it as Administrator as suggested by a friend but it still refuses to work. I need direct help from Adobe but don't know how to get to them on this website as they seem to rely on user forums to advise customers.

Trying to install Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 7 but keep getting error message 'A reduced set of content has been installed' - help!

We bought Premiere Elements 10/Photoshop Element 10 a while ago and it worked brilliantly on our Window XP machine, but since we moved to Windows 7 last year we can't get Premiere Elements 10 to work properly and always get the error message 'A reduced set of content (Instant Movie Themes, Title and Menu templates, etc) has been installed. You can install the full content by inserting your Content DVD or downloading it. Do you want to install now?'. So I've tried reinserting the DVDs and installing them. I've uninstalled all the software and started again, but each time I get the same message at the end of the process. I've spoken to the computer shop I bought the computer from and they say Windows 7 is incompatible, but that doesn't seem to be what the Adobe web site says. Please, any advice welcome as I've got a year's worth of videos I need to edit.
Thank you!

Are you working with Windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit? What video card/graphics card does your computer use? NVIDIA GeForce? And, are you doing your download and installing with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Premiere Elements 12 is compatible with Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
If you have tried to obtain the Premiere Elements 10 Content from the installation disc labelled for Content for your version and operating system and that is not working, then can try downloading and installing the Content from the following Adobe link if you do not decide to click on the message to initiate the content download from within the program.

How can I move my Premiere elements 8 from my old pc to my new imac?

How can I move my Premiere elements 8 from my old pc to my new imac?

tenfootprints
Does your imac come with a Windows Mac interface?
If not, you cannot. There is no Premiere Elements 8 Mac version. And, you cannot install Premiere Elements 8 Windows on
a Mac computer. As I recall, Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 was the first Premiere Elements version to be offered in Windows and Mac versions.
Please explain with more details.
Thanks.

Can I convert my Elements licence from Windows to IOS

I am using Premier Elementson on a windows 7 PC, can I convert this to run only on an IMAC running IOS Yosemite ?

ronb
What version of Premiere Elements on your Windows 7? Nevertheless....
No if all you have are Premiere Elements Windows installation files from purchase of an online download.
Premiere Elements Windows does not work on Premiere Elements Mac and vice versa. Also, project files from Windows version do not work on Mac version and vice versa.
If you had purchased the box packaging you would be expected to have two discs, one for Windows version and one for Mac version. Then use the Mac disc for installation of the product
on Mac.
If your purchase was from online download, then all you have are installation files specific to the computer operating system to which the files were downloaded.

How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your quick response. The original movies were taken on a Canon ES970 (1990's). I don't know the resolution but things were not as high tech back then.,.. I used a Roxio software to convert them on my MacBook Air. I didn't realize that I could use Adobe Premiere Elements to do that or I would have. However my old camera did not have a cable to attach it to a computer and the Roxio software came with it.
I then saved the recordings on an external hard drive. I did not make movies from them using iMovie or edit them in any way. They are simply .MOV files and they can be played on my Mac. Upon realizing how much memory it takes to work on videos, I decided it might be easier to burn DVD's on my husband's new Dell desktop that came with Windows 8. I downloaded Quicktime as suggested and still the movies can't be added to Premiere.

Having trouble downloading and installing Premiere Elements 10 from my account.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your reply.
Here’s what I downloaded from my account – PremiereElements_10LS_15_win64
I do get an error message when I double click to install:
“The file archive part of Adobe Premiere Elements 10 is missing.
You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Premiere Elements 10.
Please download all parts”.
When on the Adobe site there are many choices which is confusing.
Please direct me to the correct one….
I’m running Windows 8.1
Thank you George

Is it possible to uninstall Adobe Premiere Elements 13 from one computer and put it on another PC, using the same serial number?

I had installed Adobe Premiere Elements 13 on my laptop, which is slow. Is it possible to completely remove the program from my laptop, and reinstall it on another PC, using the SAME installation disc?

Tomquer
If all you have is the Premiere Elements 13 purchased activated serial number on one Windows computer, you can go ahead and do nothing else but install the program from the disc on the second Windows computer with the same purchased serial number.
That will leave you with the purchased activated serial number on two of your computers.
Adobe allows you the same purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. So, nothing to do but to use one at a time.
Lots of scenarios beyond.
1. Deactivate Premiere Elements 13 from computer 1. Do not bother to uninstall. Deactivation is not the same as uninstall.
To deactivate, in an opened Premiere Elements 13 project, go to Help Menu/Sign Out. Close out of there.
Then do nothing, leave the program in the deactivated/installed state.
2. Deactivate and Uninstall Premiere Elements 13 from computer 1.
Any questions or need clarification, please let us know.
Thanks.

My Premiere Elements 9 on Windows 7 no longer opens (it always did before); now at the welcome screen it "blinks" once then hangs, without any of the components initializing- please help

If that does not work, then I would see this FAQ Entry: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0
It starts with a general checklist for getting PrE set up properly, then goes into some links on tuning up one's system and OS, and finally has links to many troubleshooting articles, plus tools to help one troubleshoot issues.

Premiere Elements 4 on Windows 7 shuts down when I try to create disk folder

Loaded Premiere Elements 4 on a new computer running on Windows 7. Previously used this software on Windows XP with no issues other than slow. After creating a project and going to Share/Burn Disc I receive a message that Adobe Premiere Elements.exe has stopped working.

Dolly Jeane
Are you getting any message about MPEG2 Activation?
What are you trying to do....burn to folder Folder (4.7 GB) or burn to disc? There seems to be a conflict between your thread title "create disk folder" and body of reply "going to Share/Burn Disc".
I have Premiere Elements 4 on Windows 7 64 bit, and it has been running OK for Share/Disc/DVD disc with the standard or widescreen presets.
Are you having problems with the burn to folder as well as burn to disc? If you have not tried burn to folder, please try that and let us know how that works.
Also, please tell us what the burn dialog shows in its Quality area for Space Required and Bitrate (with check mark next to Fit Contents to Available Space.

Premiere Elements 13, on Windows 7 64 bit, Problem fading to black at end of video.

With Premiere Elements 13, on Windows 7 64 bit, I am attempting to end a video with a fade to black transition. For whatever reason, it is fading to black then returning. Yes, I have tried it all three ways right, left and in between, but the it keeps fading out then in. And yes the transition is at the very end of the clip.

morrisst
I have Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 64 bit.
When I apply the Dip to Black video transition to the last Timeline clip, the Alignment is Left Clip. You have been there and done that.
Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing when the Dip to Black transitions stops on your Timeline?
When I do as you have suggested I see this
Have you expanded the Timeline with the -+ slider above the Timeline and inspect the end of the clip as well as
other track content above or below, do you detect an fragments that might be a factor in what you are seeing?
If you start a new project, do you get the same result?
Could you post a screenshot displaying what you are seeing with the Dip to Black video transition placed at the end
of the last clip on your Timeline (Alignment: Left Clip)?
Thank you.
