Transitions in Premier Elements zooming "in"

I am editing my still images move clips in Premier 8 and I am doing my transitions in the video transitions button. I have looked thru all of them and I can zoom from one photo to another and the second image "pops" out or to the forefront, but I want another image to zoom "down" into the next image. I want the focal point to be drawn into the next image, is there a way to do it? In other words like you are giving depth to the next image. Hopefully I am explaining myself clearly.

You can certainly create that effect manually using keyframes. Do you know how to use keyframes?

Premier Elements 12, Inserting Photos into timeline, using transitions, inserting music

I have just recently switched from Premier Elements 8 to 12, after discovering that "expert" looked allot more like what I was used to I have been able to start a new project. However, I don't consider myself to be an "expert".
That said I have a few questions:
I used to be able to insert photos and rearrange them in the "sceneline", I do not see that feature in Premier 12 so am using the "timeline" that is there. However I cannot insert photos or move them around easily, I get my clips reducing in size. How can I insert new photos or move them?
Transitions seemed to have been reduced greatly in the availabilty of them, have they "gone out of favor", I had put a transition inbetween all of my clips in my previous projects with 8. Allot of them were merely the "wipe" feature. What is recommended with 12?
I have not gotten to adding music to this project however have noticed that there are allot of different styles available. However I want to be able to add my own music, can you give me tips on "how to do that", would I just go to the "add media" and get them off my computer and than add it to the audio line?
Thank you ahead of time.

I am not sure why these photos should be reducing in size. It should be the same thing as in your older version, that is, as you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, with your mouse cursor drag you new file into place in the Timeline. Some people like to use the Ctrl key instead of the Alt key. I prefer the Alt key.
I prefer the Expert workspace rather than the Quick in version 12, but you can still move the images in the Quick Filmstrip spaces with a click and drag, left or right as appropriate. So, I am not sure what you ran into in the Quick workspace in that regard.
Transitions seemed to have been reduced greatly in the availabilty of them, have they "gone out of favor", I had put a transition inbetween all of my clips in my previous projects with 8. Allot of them were merely the "wipe" feature. What is recommended with 12?
There are lots of Transitions under theTransition Tab when you are in Expert workspace, much less in the Quick workspace. This is what you should be seeing in version 12/Expert workspace/Transitions
This is what you had in version 8.0/8.0.1 under Wipes in Timeline view.
3. I have not gotten to adding music to this project however have noticed that there are allot of different styles available.

Same as before. Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets (if Expert workspace). The Quick workspace does not have that "intermediate" Project Assets. So, it is Add Media/Files and Folders/ and direct to a scene space in the Filmstrip. If you have iTunes music, it may have to be converted to .mp3 or .wav (again same as before).
However, if you are a SmartSound soundtrack user, the SmartSound feature is gone in version 12 which has it counterpart, under Audio Tab, of Music Scores and Sound Effects which end up on the Timeline as .wav files. If you have the old SmartSound soundtracks, they need to be converted to .wav and then the Premiere Elements 12 Add Media/
Please check out the above. If any questions or if you need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

Premier Elements 12 zoom vs crop

On some clips the default pan and zoom tool does a pan and zoom, but on other clips it does a crop and pan (without me changing anything). I don't want the crop... I want it tpo zoom and pan all the time for this project. I've right clicked everywhere I can think of and don't come up with a settings menu. Is there a settings menu other than via the Applied Effect toggle (which doesn't have a setting I can see for this cropping issue).
Also, when I've created a sequence of focus frames, I can access the marker in the in the timeline to move the focus frame. When I click on a marker it jumps the CTI to that spot, but doesn't allow me to grab the marker. Is there a setting I'm missing, or is there another way to move the marker.

Premier Elements 12 zoom vs crop
created by A.T. Romano in Premiere Elements - View the full discussionastrofun I have not finished by testing on the issue that you present. I created an 4K video so that I would work through the details that you are presenting. In spite of these zoom and crop that you feel are occurring randomly and for which you seek an explanation, are you getting the wanted pan and zoom effects when the video returns to the Expert workspace Timeline from the Pan and Zoom workspace. I am suspecting that this zoom and crop that you are seeing is solely in the Pan and Zoom workspace and are reflecting the mechanics of your establishment of the focus frames as you move the Timeline Indicator from the first focus frame (first frame of the video) from left to right. Not exactly sure what you mean!
   - I highlight my clip, then open Pan and Zoom tool
   - When opened, the tool has 2 focus frames marked... one at each end of the clip. I am not able to grab the marker and move either of these on the timeline (or any subsequent time frames). Once I create a frame its there... I can't mover it by the marker (as soon as I click on the marker the CTI comes to that spot, and I can't get to a menu or screen change when I click on the pan duration
   - What I have been doing is deleting the default focus frame #2, moving my CTI to the place where I want a pan to stop, and inserting a new focus frame, then size and locate it on my image.
   - Follow this exact procerdiure and on some clips I get a zoom with the whole frame filling the screen, and on some clips I get a crop with only part of the screen being filled.
I will try to post some screenshots in the morning to show you were my thinking went on that.

Premier Elements vs. Pro for Pan and Zoom Photo Slide Shows

I am a professional architectural photographer. I need to create videos using a set of photos, and I need the ability to pan and zoom to specific parts of each photo. I need to be able to tell the software where to pan from and to, and where to zoom in or out. For example, I might start at the left side of a photo, pan toward the left side of the photo, then stop panning and zoom in. I need to control the speed of the pan and zoom, and control where they happen within each photo. I will not be dealing with video, only still photos.
I have seen a video demonstrating this capability in in Premier Pro. Can it also be done in Premier Elements?

rvomund
Please check out the Adobe document on it Pan and Zoom Tool and that feature's workspace
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/pan-zoom-create-video-like.html
There is a difference using this tool for video versus stills. And, since you mention that you will be using just stills, I have
not gone into pan and zoom applied to video with this tool.
Please review and consider. If questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Before any purchase decisions, good idea to look at the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe.

Is this possible?
Any input is appreciated! Thank you.

Tom
Thanks for the reply.
Your thoughts on frame by frame viewing are can do. However, the real time playback feature includes the concept of rendering the Timeline, when the program indicates the need to do so, to get the best possible preview of what you are seeing in the Edit area monitor. That is a major novel in itself. Each time you do a new edit you will get the render indicator message to ignore or act on.
Definitely go the free 30 day tryout route for Premiere Elements 12. I have Premiere Elements 12 (updated to 12.1) and it runs fine on Windows 8.1 64 bit.

Using Text in Premier Elements

I am using a trial version of Premier Elements to see if I want to buy it. I really want to create slide show with captions and sounds. Premier seemed like something I should look into, and there are sound affects, etc. However, I don't see a way to type text as in a caption on a picture.
I may be better served with a slide show presentation but each one is missing something important, which is what led me to Premier Elements. I don't want to make movies. I just want to string photos together in a cohesive presentation with text and music or sound affects.
Thank you,
Pam Barkas

First, remember that Premiere Elements is a video editor. So it will create slideshows for DVD or BluRay -- but at video resolution (720x480 and 1920x1080 pixels, respectively). So if you're looking for high-quality, high-resolution software for creating slideshows, you might be better off looking into a program like Pro Show Gold.
But if you are trying to create videos with still photos in them, Premiere Elements can certainly do it. And you can certainly add titles or captions to each photo simply by selecting a title template from the Titles & Text panel.
A companion program called the Organizer is also included with Premiere Elements, and it includes a dedicated Slideshow Creator (under its Create menu) which lets you add captions to your slides one photo at a time, arrange your slide order, add transitions and pan & zooms between slides and add narration and music.

Unable to load project (prel file) into Premier Elements 7.0

just installed 7.0 ..when attempting to load a project (slide show for play back on a DVD) created in Elements 3.0 .. get error that "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements" .. I have no problem loading the same project in Elements 3.0. Also seems specific to this file, an other project create under 3.0 appears to load with out error. I should point out that the project that will not load was created in Elements 5.0 and exported over to Premier Element 3.0 to create a playable DVD .. the file that will load was created in Premier Elements 3.0 (not sure if that is significant but more information is better then less) .. any thoughts / suggestions would be appreciated ..thanks

"The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements"
Unfortunately, the last part of that error says it all. Something is used, that no longer is in PE7, or has been changed significantly. Could be an Effect, a Transition (though those usually just disappear, and the file still Imports - PrPro gives a warning, and tells you which Transition is missing, and the TimeCode of where it was used), or something else.
If you have PE3, you can do two things:
1.) finish the edit there and Export to your delivery format
2.) Export a DV-AVI file and bring THAT into PE7
Neither is quite as good as being able to Import the .PREL and work on it in PE7, but those are about the only choices that I see. Now, if you have any clue as to what the Effect (whatever) is, that's causing the problem, you *might* be able to open a COPY of the .PREL in WordPad, search for that Effect, eliminate reference to it, and then Save as a .PREL. That might be a lot of work, and might well destroy that COPY of the file - that's why you work on a COPY.
Good luck,

Why is adobe premier elements 12 the worst version yet and with no content unless you go online

I even had adobe chat guy online and take control of my pc and after about 2 hours of trying all he could say was i could cut n paste content from my adobe elements 10 into 12 then he hung up what good is it buying 12 if I have to use 10 to use 12 this is not the first case of problems with premier elements and downloading content even with version 10 coming with contents disk still wouldn't load for me this and other problems with crashes even running a very high spec pc . I wouldn't recommend premier elements to anyone at the moment and am seriously thinking of alternative software am looking now unless adobe can exsplain my problems ,ps dont even bother trying to use HD in it either

greg
What edition of Windows is your Premiere Elements 10 or 12 running on?
Yes, you can copy/paste insert between Premiere Elements project when you use the 3rd party software ClipMate is conjunction with Premiere Elements.
The version specific information is found in my blog post
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: ClipMate Copy/Paste Between Projects
Premiere Elements 10 should do a complete job of it. Premiere Elements 12 fares well with the technique except that the transitions in project 1 do not copy/paste along with the rest during the task. But, the copy/paste insert is nothing new to Premiere Elements 12; consequently this should not be a surprise to you since you have used 10.
The Content for versions later than 10 is online download only; whereas, Premiere Elements 10 offers online content if you purchased the program as a download and Content disc if you purchased the boxed packaging of the product. You can read the details if you have not already.

ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE 7, 8, 9,10: Content Download
If you got stuck with Content download in Premiere Elements 10, that was your choice since a Content disc was available for 10 when you purchased the boxed packaging of the product. I much prefer the Content disc but I had no choice other than Content download for 11 and 12 even though I purchased boxed packaging. And, If you could not load Content from a version 10 Content disc, you have more problems that just the Content download and the Copy/Paste Insert matter.

How to make Premier Elements 8 work...

As many may have figured out by now, Premier Elements 8 is not exactly pristene... Hopefully Adobe will get us all a working version in the next few months. In the meantime here are a couple of tips:
First if you're using a 64bit Operating System, Premier Elements 8 does not support it and may not work properly no matter what you do    However, if you are using Windows 7 Professional 64bit or Ultimate 64bit you're in luck... you can set up Premier Elements 8 to run in Windows XP mode which runs under a 32bit virtual machine. If you're using Vista or XP 64bit you're pretty much stuck with what you've got...
Now for everyone using a 32bit Operating System (including those using Windows XP mode inside Windows 7), here's the best way to get a working Premier Elements 8 working... bypass the welcome screen / organizer.   Now the file names may be different depending on when you got your version of PrE8, and the locations may be different depending on which OS you're using. These instructions are for Windows XP 32bit versions:
1> delete your desktop shortcut for Premier Elements 8
2> use "my computer" and navigate to the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premier Elements 8.0
3> find the two application files that begin "Adobe Premiere Elements".   The one that ends in 8.0 opens the welcome screen / organizer which you do not want to use, right click the one that does not end in 8.0 and select "Send to Desktop"
4> now sitback & enjoy using your crash free version of Premier Elements 8.0 *
* Okay, that won't fix EVERYTHING, but it has fixed 95% of my crashes and has helped several others.
Also, if you find PrE8 taking excessively long amounts of time to complete certain tasks including saving your work, adding or deleting effects/annotations/transitions, etc... dissable "background rendering" by going to Edit Menu > Preferences > General & uncheck the box marked "enable background rendering", you may also want to go to the "Auto Save" portion of the preferences & change your auto save settings, I have mine set to save every 5 minutes, though for the average user 10 minutes is probably plenty unless you continue to have problems despite the steps above.
Oh & for those also using Photoshop Elements 8.0 the same bypass can lead to happier photoshopping but with PhotoshopElementsEditor as the file you want to create a desktop shortcut for...

I'd like to blame your failure on Vista... as I recall, you're running Vista 32bit... but since my only experiences with Vista are from fixing other peoples computers that have Vista installed... I'll refrain for now
The delays in actions (deleting transitions, etc...) could be from background rendering hogging resources... It does the same thing on my pathetic old PC, which is why I mentioned it as well in my OP.
But beyond that, I'm not going to be much help for a Vista user cause I have no real-world experience with that plague...

Premier Elements 9 - DVD Main Menu not showing navigation highlights

Hi All,
Apologies if this discussion / question appears twice. I seemd to lose the original and did not think it had been posted.
New to Adobe and just started using Premier Elements 9 for a basic DVD project.
I managed to work out importing, editing, transitions, adding soundtrack etc and got to the DVD Menu stage where everything seemed to come together.
Once i had burned to DVD i checked it worked on the PC which it did but when i tried in a number of DVD players, there was an issue with Main Menu marker navigation.
This project has a main and four scene menus plus an 'Extras' marker i added to the Main Menu pointing toward Stills..
On all the Scene menus, i can see a clear highlight dot move from scene to scene as i navigate with the remote, showing where I am as you would expect.
On the Main Menu however, where i have Play Movie, Scenes and Extras markers, there is no sign of any dot or highlight to tell you which of these you are currently on so its a lottery as to which you get when navigating with a remote from the Main Menu.
I am pretty sure this is user error and if anyone has thoughts of what i have done or not done when i set up the DVD Menu section maybe, i would very much appreciate it.
A little additional info is apart from adding the 'Extras' button to the main menu i imported a still image/Logo to show up in the middle of the menu screen and added a sound clip to the main and all the 'Scene menus.
Whether that has anything to do with it i don't know.
thank you in advance for any clues as to what i have done wrong.
Regards
psutt.

Hi ATR,
My sincere apologies for not getting back to you sooner. This project has been above and beyond my day to day work as an integrator to the Post Production area and everything went a little nuts over the last few weeks.
I wanted to let you know that I was successful in the end, thanks to your input.
I ended up substituting the ‘Fun in the Sun’ with’ Memory Box’ HD under ‘Memories’ and this was the magic solution.
I got bogged down trying to lengthen rolling end credits and lengthening a title plate that headed the Extras but I left as is in the end.
The main thing was the menus worked just fine after the change so I won’t go near Fun in the Sun again if I do another sometime.
I kept it to NTSC widescreen and it looked fine.
Many thanks again for your input.
Kindest Regards

PSD files into Premier Elements?

I have used Photohop Elements for years. I am familiar with it, do I need to resize a PSD file before taking it into Premier Elements to add to a video project?

Lavona
What is the size of your scrapbook page in Photoshop Elements 12 - 12 inches by 12 inches document. If so, we need to know the pixel dimensions for the scrapbook page (width and height in pixels). Inches have no meaning in video. Does your plan include any possibilities for a 4:3 or 16:9 scrapbook page?
What is your intended export for your Timeline content - burn to disc (DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc, AVCHD on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc OR file saved to the computer hard drive in a video format?
Video is typically 4:3 or 16:9 in constrast to what you may have, that is, 12 inches x 12 inches at 300 pixels/inch which would be 3600 x 3600 pixels. And, one usually sets the project preset to match the properties of the source media. There is no project preset to match those dimensions.
Is your project going to consist of only these scrapbook pages? If so, the following should be noted.
All Premiere Elements projects have to have a project preset. The default for Premiere Elements 12 is NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 (1920 x 1080 pixels) or its PAL counterpart. If there is no project preset to match the properties of your source, then you could end up with your image with black borders. (The black borders could be filled in by placing a background on Video 1 and your scrapbook page of Video 2 directly above that background on Video 1. In that way, the background would show through the black (transparency) areas in the scrapbook).
However...
There is a preference which lets you direct the program to import the source (your scrapbook page) and automatically scale it to the frame size of the project preset. This is the case that I described above. But the preferences can also be set to disable this option called "Default Scale to Frame Size". In your case, what you will see with this option disabled, is your image zoomed in the Edit area monitor. Then you can scale it down to fit the space provided for it in the Edit area monitor. This would cut off some of your page. You could decide what you wanted shown. And, if you scale to fit it all into the frame, black borders.
Now if the situation were that you had video sources and wanted to include your scrapbook pages in the presentation, then I would set the project preset to match the video properties and then fit the scrapbook pages to that project preset. Filling in some more details would allow me to fine tune.
But, back to your original question of sizing of those .psd scrapbook pages....which are probably 3600 x 3600. I suspect that the practical answer is going to be import them as is and let the program resize, allowing for black borders to be filled in my a background of some sorts. But, how many of those 3600 x 3600 pixels you can import without stressing out the project will depend on your computer resources and just how many of these scrapbook pages are to be used.
The above is my take on the details that you have described thus far.
Please review and consider and then let me know if you have questions or need clarification.
Thanks.
ATR
Add On....For now, please ignore the mention of 1000 x 750 pixels 4:3 until we define your project to a great extent.

Question on Trial version of Premier Elements 12

This is my first effort at creating a video with this new program. I have several questions but, we'll do one at a time.   First ... When I create a transition a "banner" shows up on the screen saying "created by premier 12 trial version. Is that going to be there on the "finished product ? It's very annoying and, blocks everything.     Second .... When I looked thru the photos I ADDED some captions to the bottom of the photos. However, the TEXT doesn't show up when creating a movie. What am I doing wrong ?

Prof.    I am trying multiple things her so, bear with me.
lets go back to a discussion we had yesterday about text on pictures.
I believe I have to be in "expert mode to do all of the things you asked me to try...
I went into expert and, was then able to access these items. I'm working on trying
all the things you suggested.
However, what about doing all this text stuff in a a naration   instead. Would that be easier ?
Bill Hunt had given me a way to do that earlier but, I was a bit overwhelmed and lost that text.
Maybe, that might be a more "personable" way to do this ????

As they say, this is just a test
1. Open Premiere Elements 12 to the Expert workspace.
2. Import a photo from the hard drive into the program via the program's Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets. And, from Project Assets, drag your photo to the beginning of Video Track 1.
3.With your Timeline Indicator (Blue head on Red Stem) at the beginning of the Timeline, go to Text/New Text/Default Text and click on Default Text to open the Titler which will have four sections (Text, Styles, Animation, and Shapes). Click on the Text section tab. Notice that, when the Titler opened, the program automatically placed the title on the Timeline at the position of the Timeline Indicator.
a. There are a variety of ways to start typing, replacing the default "Add Text" with what you want. What I usually do is to go to the right edge of the Add Text default with the mouse cursor and left click/drag from right to left across Add Text to put a gray cast over it and then type with the horizontal type tool. When I am ready to move the text around, then I select the Selection Tool in the trio of tools (horizontal text tool, vertical text tool, selection tool) in the Text Section and use it to select the text. When you make the text selection, you should see a bounding box around the text for you to use for resizing and such.
b. Important add ons...after the Titler closes, to open the title again for more editing, double click the title on the Timeline...when you want to close the Titler, look to the top right of that Adjustments Panel. You should see two tiny gray arrows point right. Click those arrows to close the Titler.
Here is some reading material for your to review after you have done some mini test runs with the above.

The last three may be more than you want now since your focus is on captions, but maybe hold on to them for another time when you want to get deeper into the Premiere Elements Titler opportunities.
Please review and let me know if I went too far beyond what you sought. I will back up if necessary.
Also, please take a look at "captions as text" in Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor preferences.

Timeline some pictures turned 90 deg. with Photo shop and premier elements 13 Happens whin pictures are add to premier Elements 13

Happen when images are added to Premier Element (add medium) from photo shop 13 to Premier Elements 13
I can right click on each rotated pictures and correct the rotation.
Burned a great DVD after spending a lot of time correcting the rotation problem
I used the HVACD OPTION. Made a high quality DVD Bill Olson

I want to thank you and Bill Hunt for your prompt replies. However I don’t think they are on point. My problem is not with a single photograph but entire project consisting of many photographs, transitions, music, etc. I actually imported two such projects into my video project in Premier Elements. One cam in perfectly. The other however, was bollixed up. It played fine in Elements, but when I reviewed it in Premier, the music shifted two frames forward, and one picture came in sideways. There may be more, but these problems alone frustrated me from checking further. The companion project imported without a hitch and plays as designed. All photos from both projects were taken on the same trip with the same two cameras.
Again, thanks for your time. If you have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate ;your input.

Quality problems when burning a dvd with Premier Elements 11

I purchased a while ago, but just recently installed Premier Elements 11. I previously had 9 and 10. 11 was great until I burned to a disc. The quality is very substandard. Have you come up with a fix for this? I have read many other complaints about the quality of burning.
Until I can get a fix, I have uninstalled 11 and gone back to version 10.

Thanks for reporting on your results. Much appreciated.
Do you have the opportunity to record 1080p instead of 1080i? If so, we would be interested in the results. But, for now, just some miscellaneous comments.
1. What are you using to apply the pan and zoom effect?

Keyframing of the Motion Position property for Pan and Motion Scale property for Zoom
Presets under fx Effect/Presets for pan or zoom.
Are you applying the same pan and zoom effect to each of the photos?
If so (an not using the Pan and Zoom Tool),
Pan and zoom one photo, then copy/paste effects and adjustments for a group selection of the rest.
If using the Pan and Zoom Tool, then consider
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Pan & Zoom Tool, More Than One Photo at a Time
This is acceptable for a few photos, but the increased duration that it will add to the Timeline content may make it prohibitive.

Premier Elements 11 trial. Playback problems; instability problems

I downloaded the trial version and installed yesterday. My experience so far is as follows:
Video tracks I import (h.264) will play fine (although see below.) Then if I try later they won't: timeline doesn't move, no sound no nothing. No rhyme or reason to it. I've tried deleting the project and all media files from Premier and Elements Organiser and trying again. No luck. Repeat, and this time they work; I presume at some point they will stop. I've had even more trouble getting them to play in the organiser. They have played but now no matter what I do they don't seem to want to: I'd ask if the organiser can play videos or not but I've seen it do it so I know the answer.
Launching Premier Elements may cause iTunes and/or Safari to crash. Or maybe not. Depends upon the mood it's in I guess....
Yesterday, something completely took over the sound output. Couldn't adjust volume, turn off my external speakers or otherwise get sound out. When I pressed the volume up button on my keyboard nothing happened, repeat again, nothing happened. 10 mins later the volume adjustment overlay displayed upping volume by 1 notch! Another 5 mins later the same again! Bizarre. Couldn't find a way to get around it: I could launch programs ok but I couldn't logout. Or Shutdown. Having seen the delay in the volume dialog I decided that maybe it would shut down when it got the chance so I went for dinner. Sure enough, on return it had shutdown.
I have (or at least did have) a stable system before installing this program. It's an iMac on 10.8.3, 32GB RAM and 3.2Ghz 4-core processor.
Another interesting thing it does is with the playback of my clips. These are a slideshow of photos: each photo transitions in over 1.5 secs, stays for 2 secs, then transitions out whilst the next one transitions in. In other words, each photo overlays the previous one and then is displayed for 2 secs. This is how they play in iTunes, on a DVD etc. In Premier, the clips register as the same length but each photo transitions in and immediately transitions out with no 2 second pause. It's as if the transitions have been extended in time so the whole clip remains the same length but consists solely of transitioning images. Why would it interpret the video differently to other applications?
I was hoping to switch to this program because the output from iMovie 11 is really bad for dark areas: extremely pixellated and blocky. The output from Premier doesn't have this but of course the output doesn't play properly so it's a bit moot really.
I could probably live with this, for this one set of clips, if it wasn't for the other instability problems - do others find similar problems?

Thanks ATR - not sure I explained my self properly, but here's some background...
I have a DVD that consists of a slideshow of photos from a window. As above, these seem to transition in over 1 or 1.5 seconds stay for 2 and then the next one transitions in. I've ripped the DVD using handbrake to a H.264 format so I can play on AppleTV (no copyright issues by the way!) The DVD is actually split into 5 titles: 4 of 6 minutes 7 seconds duration and 1 of around 20 seconds duration. In the DVD of course they play continually appearing as a 24 minute 48 seconds.
The intention was to load all 5 clips into Premier on the timeline and create 1 output. That actually works (when it works!) so in some respect I can achieve what I want, except.....
Let's take clip 1. It's 6 mins 7 secs long in iTunes. In iTunes it plays as expected: each photo transitions in for 1.5 secs, sticks for 2 seconds then the next photo transitions in. In Premier, the clip is 6 mins 7 secs long. However, it plays as follows: each photo transitions in then the next photo transitions in without pause. It seems that the transitions have extended in duration to what appears to be 3.5 secs thus there's no clear point where I can see the photo (a split moment when I could press pause is the only possibility.)
So that question was really: why would Premier take a clip that has been copied from DVD, and which iTunes plays the same as the DVD, and play it back differently? I read the thread which was useful in explaining how different programs dealt with transitions whilst building up a video/slideshow - perhaps I misunderstood it.
This isn't the main reason for testing Premier actually. I have a video camera capable of 1080/50p which iMovies can't handle without significant jiggery-pokery. And the exports are just plain rubbish. I've just loaded some clips into the Elements organiser - here's another problem which I'll mention here but for which I'll give more feedback on a separate thread later:
when playing back a clip, the sound will just stop. Video will continue, but no sound. If I pause it, reset the play marker backwards then play sound comes back. It may or may not disappear later in the playback. Either way, in the organiser playing clips either works, doesn't work sometimes (often??), plays with sound, plays some sound then stops.
Sorry...but this seems like a buggy program to me.
Thanks
Andrew
