Transferring Premiere Elements 11

I bought a license to Adobe Premiere Elements 11 to help me create a video for a 4-H Project. The desktop I was using to run Elements is capable of running it but can be slow at times. Recently, I was given a Lenovo Ultrabook (S431) that is much faster. The Lenovo meets most of the requirements The only problem is that the Lenovo does not have an optical drive to install Elements off the CD. Is there a way to install the program on my new computer without buying an optical drive?

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,

awgriffey2013
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.

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.

Adobe Premiere Elements 12 downloaded and bought on windows computer, transferable to a mac?

I'm about to buy Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on my windows computer.
Can I transfer the licens for this, and other Adobe products, to a new mac computer? Or are the licenses valid on all platforms?
What do I have to do to prepare before? I've read/heard about License Inactivation on the windows installed applications, before installing on the new computer - is that all?
//Johan

When you purchase Elements programs they are valid for either platform though you cannot install the PC version on a Mac, and vice versa. But you do get access to both versions for the same license. Most applications sold by Adobe are not provided for both platforms with the same license however.
You are allowed to have activated installations on two machines. You can install on as many as you like but cannot activate more than two of the installations. You can deactivate if you need to to activate somewhere else.

Transferring a project from Adobe Premiere Elements 10 into FCP

Hey everyone,
I'm an FCP editor, and I have just come on board a project that has thus far been cut on Adobe Premiere Elements 10. I want to export the EDL of the project and import it into FCP, but this Premiere programme is unusual because it doesn't have an "export" fuction. It has "share".
I'm trying to figure out how to go about exporting the EDL and then tell the (not tech savvy) director this remotely so he can email it to me
Does anyone know how to do it?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, PrE does not offer EDL, or OMF Export, as Premiere Pro does.
Steve's suggestion to Export/Share the Timeline, for Import into FCP is the closest that one can get.
Good luck,
Hunt

Has Premiere Elements 12 fixed the jittery playback issues from CS4?

I use Premiere Pro CS4 to edit my videos. I shoot with a Canon DSLR the 60D and import the video files straight into Premiere Pro without the extra transcoding step. (too much trouble to transcode the raw video with every clip). I get jittery and jerky motion in the left hand Source Monitor, when I make my in and out point edits. It plays fine once I have made my edits and render them in the right hand Program Monitor. I have heard that this has been fixed in version CS5 and higher. I can't afford to buy the CS program again, but could purchase Premiere Elements 12 the latest version. Would the jittery playback still be there in the left Source Monitor window of Elements 12, or has it been fixed in all forward versions newer than CS4?
Also if there is a way to make the imported video play smooth in the Source Monitor directly from CS4, without the transcoding process, I would like to hear about that for sure. Thanks for your help guys. Ken in Toronto.

Ken
I am surprised that the Premiere Pro group did not answer your Premiere Pro question before transferring your thread to the Premiere Elements Forum. The Premiere Pro question seems to be the immediate one. Your question seems to have been ignored by the Premiere Pro people
Also if there is a way to make the imported video play smooth in the Source Monitor directly from CS4, without the transcoding process, I would like to hear about that for sure.
An answer to that might avoid you having to get involved with a new program, Premiere Elements 12.
Nonetheless, I cannot offer you any guarantee about editing 60D footage in Premiere Elements 12. I would need lots of details of your specific video properties and computer environment to approach an answer. Your best and quickest answer will come from downloading and installing Premiere Elements 12 and determining its compatibility in your computer environment and if it meets your video editing needs.

Auto-analyzer crashes in Premiere Elements 12

I'm loading a number of home videos to my computer. I've imported a bunch of DV tapes that were recorded direclty on DV successfully; now I'm importing DV tapes that were originally recorded on 8mm tapes, and were transferred to DV tapes. As a result, there is no timecode on the tapes to identify scene changes.
So I'm importing them in the "Expert" mode and have selected to split scenes by content. It appears that this is done using the Auto-Analyzer. However, the auto-analyzer never completes its process, it always crashes on these tapes (I'm now 4 crashes on 4 tapes). The video (one hours' worth) is imported to the computer successfully, but only as one long scene; I don't get any split scenes.
Any ideas on how to get auto-analyzer to complete successfully, or another way to get split scenes? System is running Win7, 8GB RAM.
Thanks in advance.

jevernham
Thanks for the follow up.
Trimming clips in the Premiere Elements Preview Window with its Set In and Set Out points is not an automatic process. So, you do not want it.
And, the AutoAnalyzer feature is not able to detect scenes in your footage. So where does that leave us?
No scenes detected....
1, Have you tried capturing your footage into a program such as Windows Live Movie Maker/Movie Maker or other capturing program to determine if any program can detect and split the scenes in your videos on a consistent basis?
2. Have you disabled the AutoAnalzyer options in Elements Organizer preferences and then done your DV Capture?
See Elements Organizer workspace/Edit Menu/Preferences/MediaAnalysis.
3. Have you completed your DV Capture without Split Scenes and AutoAnalzyer disabled, taken your capture into Project Assets, clicked on Run AutoAnalyzer, and gotten scene detection and scene splitting?
General Comments
I do not believe that the AutoAnalzyer was ever intended as a video splitting tool, rather a "Smart Tagger" and might split video clips in the process. Today it is a last resort for those who seek it to split video into scenes according to content AFTER capture/import. Please check out one explanation of the AutoAnalzyer and what it is supposed to be doing.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4551932
In much earlier versions of Premiere Elements, the Premiere Elements Capture Window had a Split Scenes by Timecode or Content option and an AutoAnalzyer option. Most recommended that the AutoAnalzyer option not be used in that case because of numerous problems associated with it use there. So, based on that, I am not sure how the program is programmed to differientiate between Split Scenes by Content and AutoAnalzyer's side effect of trying to split video clips into scenes by content.
I work with the AutoAnalyzer disable in the Elements Organizer preferences. And, you the feature on an "on demand" basis when needed. I do not do any DV or HDV firewire captures. If I leave the AutoAnalzyer enabled in Elements Organizer preferences, I find my video split into clip and stacked. I do not want that.
I have not explored capture utilities first hand so I cannot speak to that other than if I did a Google search.
Please review the above, and please update us on your progress.
Thank you.

Answer to my question: Why can I not use Premiere Elements 12 on my PC with WIndows 8.1 when the video is done with the same software on a PC with Windows 7?

i got an answer to use archive function from Mr. Romano:
I did as you said, but it did not work, I get the dummy video with no real video.
I had no menu yet on the video.
What came in my mind when I read your e-mail, on one PC is WIndows 8.1 64 bit and on the other Windows 7 32 bit.
When I load the videos from the camrecorder (tape) with Premiere Elements without doing something, I can switch to the other PC and it works.

How did you go about transferring the Premiere Elements 12 project on Windows 7 64 bit to Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Therein is what I believe is your problem. You in all likelihood do not have a codec problem of any kind, rather Premiere Elements 12 project on Windows 8.1 64 bit with disconnect between it source media and the project file. Here is how it goes.
When you import a file into Premiere Elements project, what you have in Premiere Elements is a copy of the original which is still at its hard drive save location. But the project must trace back to that original on its hard drive save location.
You may have the project.prel (project file) opening in Premiere Elements 12 on the second computer, but what I suspect to be the case is that you do not have the project media on that second computer.
If so....On the first computer, archive the project with File Menu/Project Archiver and its Copy Project option. Transfer the resulting saved Copied Folder to a USB Flash Drive which will be used to transfer the Copied Folder to the second computer. In the second computer, open the Copied Folder, right click the project.prel file in the Copied Folder, select Open With, and then Premiere Elements 12.
Did you set up disc menu in the Premiere Elements 12 Windows 7 64 bit project?
Please review and consider the above and let us know if any or all of that applies to your situation.
Thank you.

How do I get Streamclip AVI files that were saved without first installing Quicktime ALternative 1.81 to play in Premiere Elements 11?

I had Hi-8 "home movie" tapes transferred to mp4 files. To pull many short clips from these long files, I used MPEG Streamclip 1.2. The default save for these short clips was mp4. Either they didn't work in Adobe Premiere Elements 11 or I thought they wouldn't -- I can't recall now -- so I saved each clip as AVI. These AVI files won't play at all in Premier Elements. I Googled for advice and found that I needed to convert to Quicktime Alternate 1.81. I fear this had to be done before I saved the clips, but I didn't realize that. Still, I just now uninstalled Quicktime 7 and installed Quicktime 1.81, then tried converting the AVI clips files, first back to MP4 (didn't work at all in PE11) and then to MOV (only played audio). The AVI files play fine in Windows Media Player and VLC. All I have are the original files saved as AVI in Streamclip. Is there any way to get these to play and be editable in Premiere Elements 11? I've attached a jpeg capture of a gspot readout for one of these files. THANKS!

kidimi
Glad that you finally sorted out what you were doing and discovered DV AVI.
In your particular situation Prism would serve your purposes of generating the DV AVI 4:3 since your footage is 640 x 480. However, for others with different footage, the free Prism shortcoming is that it cannot offer DV AVI widescreen 16:9; whereas MPEG Streamclip can do the job for 16:9 as well as 4:3.
QuickTime Alternative 1.8.1 that does come with the MPEG Streamclip's required MPEG2 Playback Component (free) also meets the Premiere Elements requirement for QuickTime installed on computer with Premiere Elements to work. This works in spite of the fact that QuickTime Alternative 1.8.1 is not the latest version of the regular QuickTIme.
In post 2 of the following older thread, I detail the use of Prism (for 4:3) and MPEG Streamclip (for 4:3 and 16:9) to produce the DV AVI file.
Finished video of project looks "weird" / slightly choppy? - Elements Village
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Moving forward, do not use AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264) or H.264.avi in Premiere Elements. It is not supported.

YouTube uplaod error Premiere Elements 12

So I've downloaded a few videos directly from my Premiere Elements 12 about 3 times to Youtube with success and now today suddenly I get an error after the video finished rendering and uploading as soon as the "transferring to Youtube" saying: "Error: Sorry, an error occur during the uploading process. Please try again later."
It's been like this all day and I can't seem to find a solution.
Also another strange thing happened where now It doesn't let me upload a video longer than 10 min after I uplaoded a 12 min one successfully then after that it restricted me. But even this doesn't matter if now it won't let me uplaod at all. Makes no sense?! Please help, thankyou!

YouTube is a bit of a moving target, and they're constantly changing what does and does not work on the site.
Have you tried just outputting your video using Publish & Share/Computer/AVCHD with the YouTube HD preset and then manually loading the video to the YouTube site? This should give you excellent results as well as its sidestepping whatever is interferring with your program/YouTube interface.

Why does Adobe Premiere Elements 11 download my videos to my computer so slowly?

Hey guys, I have been using Adobe Premiere Elements 11, for quite some time, and I noticed that its download speed is as slow as a turtle. I know it is not my download speed, because when I download files from the internet, or games, it goes as fast as anything. Just so you have more information, I will tell you have my recording/uploading process goes. First, I record the video (Using Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 Screen Capture). Then, I would send it to my video encoder. (Microsoft Expression Encoder 4). I would then encode the video, and send that output file to Adobe Premiere Elements 11 for further editing and to download it to my computer. Now, everything up to this point takes maybe 30 minutes. But when I get to Adobe, it takes more less 3 hours (give or take a few minutes). Finally, after all that waiting, I upload it to Youtube, which takes about an hour or so. My problem is Adobe is taking far to much time to install/download the video. And as a result of that, I can only put out about a video a day. Is there any way to speed that up, or should I just get a new editing software? All feedback, and help is greatly appreciated.

Gamer
The typical ways to introduce media into Premiere Elements 11 is via AddMedia which puts the source media into Project Assets and from there you drag the contents to the Timeline Expert view edit.
These would be your choices.
You say that you used Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 and a picture from Photoshop Elements 11.
Given that you are doing screen captures with Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 and you have a photo from Photoshop Elements 11, but how are you introducing them into Premiere Elements 11? At the same time that we are looking into the how, we need to look into the what, especially for the screen captures. The video and audio formats and file extension among other things are important to the Premiere Elements workflow.
So, again I would ask you to offer answers to what I had asked
I am assuming that you are talking about the time it takes for the video to import into Project Assets for you to drag to the Timeline. Are you observing any indexing and/or conforming going on (bar at bottom right of Expert view interface) during this 3 hour await time?
Among other things, what are you using for Add Media and to get to Project Assets? And, the usual drill, what are the properties of your source media, including size and duration, video and audio compression, file extension, etc.? By comparison what is the size and duration of those Internet games et al. that seem to be transferring to your expectations?
Is this one of those issues where "it never worked before" or "it worked before but not now" specific to Adobe files of the size and duration and properties that you are focusing on?
I see the answers to all of the above as expediting the matter to get your concerns addressed.
Please review.
Thank you.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 & Premiere Elements 12 for windows. I want to transfer the programs to my new HP 15 Touch Screen computer. Then I wan to remove the program from my old HP computer. How can I do this?

I transferred the files to my new computer but not sure how I get the Photoshop & Premier Elements to work. What do I do once I have all the files transferred?

Just install them on the new computer. You can sign out of Premiere Elements/Photo Elements on your old computer -- but signing in on your new computer activates the programs.
You can be activated on two computers on a single license for these programs.

Why can I not use Premiere Elements 12 on PC with Windows 8.1 when the vidio is done with the same software on a PC with Windows 7?

I have made a Video on one PC with Premiere Emements 12 and want to continue on a PC with the same Premiere Elements 12 on and Windows 8.1. The systen wants other Codec.
What can I do?
By the way with Magix is it possible to work on both PC.

Adobe Premiere Elements 10 on Mac OS 10.7.2 - Hanging and Freezing

Hello there,
While I'm not very knowlegable about video editing software, I do use Premiere Elements 10 to edit videos for YouTube. I recently have been able to record using a device which records in 1080i, 29.97fps and saves as an mp4 file format. I've been trying to edit these files (which can be up to an hour long) in Premiere Elements; however, as soon as a video file from this recorder is imported and dragged into the project, it hangs and freezes. Sometimes, the hang happens when "conforming" the video file; other times it happens when trying to preview the video.
My theory is that it is due to the file format, or because of the sheer size of the file. The files can be several GBs.
I have tried to reinstall the program, but this hasn't worked.
Is there any advice you could give me?
Thanks,
LiamWatson28.

Hey Bill, thanks for the quick response.
It does use the H.264 CODEC. The project preset I'm using is NTSC-AVCHD-Full HD 1080i 30, although when I import the video to the project, I sometimes get a dialog box telling me that the project settings can be matched to the imported video, which I allow it to do. I have around 250GB of free space on my HDD. I allow the video and audio to conform and such on importing, I do not try to edit the video/audio while it is conforming. I'd also like to add that all files are transferred onto the HDD before the edit.
My specs:
MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011) running Mac OS 10.7.4 (Lion) I apologise, I had this wrong in the title and the original post.
Intel Core i5 2.4GHz Dual-Core
8GB RAM
500GB SATA HDD
Intel HD3000 Integrated Graphics (if that's any help)
If there's anything else I need to provide, please let me know.
EDIT: I just tested editing a 10 minute video with the same file format and project preset, and, while it was hanging as frequently, it would only be for up to 5 seconds. Compared to the 50 minute video I was trying to edit, the hangs were much longer, sometimes becoming freezes. I know that if there aren't any immediate fixes and using the same video settings, I'll have to reduce the file size by reducing the length of the video, so cutting more frequently rather than recording long stretches.
Thanks,
LiamWatson28.

Video editing & playback issues: Adobe Premiere Elements 8

Hello all,
I have made several attempts at transfering HD video files from my camcorder to my PC and then editing.
When I try to play the transferred file, it is a little choppy and then gets worse as I edit it.
Here are my specs/config:
System:
HP Pavilion a6720y
Windows Vista 64 bit
NVIDIA GeForce GT 440
AMD Phenon 9550 Quad Core 2.2Ghz
6GB RAM
640GB SATA drive, 7200 rpm
Camera:
Sony HDR-XR150
Editing Software:
Adobe Premiere Elements 8
I copy the video files from the camcorder to the computer via USB 2.0.
When I connect the camera directly to the TV the video plays without any issues. So I know the AVCHD files are "good" and I suspect they are also possibly "good" on my hard drive, but just cannot be played or edited appropriately for some reason.
One input I received was that due to the nature of AVCHD files, I should convert the video to "I-frame codec" and then edit. Can Adobe Premiere Elements do this?
Any other thoughts/ideas?
Thanks for any help.

Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing
