Unable to import .mp4/.ts into Premiere Elements 3.0

I've captured footage from my PlayStation 3 using this device: http://gamerzone.avermedia.com/game_capture/live_gamer_portable
The device saves the footage in a .ts file.
I've tried to get information on the file using a program. If there's a better way to do it, please let me know:
When I try to import the file into Premiere Elements 3.0, I get an error message: "File format not supported/One of the necessary components may not have been installed."
I've converted the file into an mp4 format with this program: http://ftp2.avermedia.com/C875/C875_utility_v1.0.0.9_20131029.zip
Information on the file:
But this did not solve the problem.
Ideally, I would like to avoid converting the video file, if that would take up a lot of time. If I can just upgrade Premiere Elements, that would be the most ideal solution.
Please let me know if any additional information is needed.

I am able to import a .ts file into Premiere Elements 10, 11, and 12 Windows 7 64 bit.
But, not so, for Premiere Elements 4, 7, 8, and 9.
And, the reason why your .mp4 conversion did not work would be in accord with the fact that you used AVCHD as the video compression, and AVCHD video compression was not supported by Premiere Elements until version 7.
If you do decide to move to version 12, please note that there is a dramatic difference in workspace between 3 and 12. So, go the free tryout of 12 before any purchase.
You could try to convert the .ts to H.264.mp4 and not AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264).mp4 and see if that works for you.

    One thing to point out, if you are doing this with the trial. While it is 100% (nothing crippled, or omitted), the trial WILL put a watermark on the finished Project. If you are doing this for work, be aware of that watermark. This http://forums.adobe.com/thread/433730?tstart=0 will give you some tips and background.
    Good luck, and I do not want you to be surprised and mad, when you get that watermark.

  • Importing project files into Premiere Elements 7

    I have created a new project, imported several video clips and then created a video. It was only at the point of creating the video that I reliased that I had not created the project with the correct settings.
    Although the video looked fine in the editing window, the final video had black bars at the sides, and above above and below the video, and fairly think black bars. I've tried exporting as different formats, and changing the aspect ratio, but this has not helped. I've attached a jpeg of what the video looks like in Quicktime.
    Other video editing software I have used, has the ability to change the project settings after it has been created, and give a warning to the user about possible problems they may encounter by doing so.
    This does not appear to be the case with Adobe Premiere Elements 7, and it is extremely frustrating!!
    One thing which appears to be possible with Premiere Pro, and was also available on other editing software I have used, is the ability to import projects.
    So... does anyone know if it is possible to import a Premiere Elements 7 project file into Premiere Elements 7? The aim here is to create a project with the correct settings, and then import the existing project file into the timeline.
    I've tried hacking the project file, which has improved the video slightly, but still not what I was expecting.
    Cheers
    Paul

    This problem should have been picked up by Adobe's test analyst during testing of the product.
    I am sorry, but I am not following you on this. There are Presets to match many media types. I am not at all sure how Adobe could anticipate that a user would choose the wrong one.
    As I said, PrPro CS4 will both allow you to Import your .PREL (with the caveats mentioned), and work on the Project with Sequence settings to match. Unfortunately, PrE is a much less sophisticated and expensive program, than is PrPro CS4.
    I'd be happy to Import your file, in PrPro with the proper Presets, but the rub would be that PrE cannot Open .PRPROJ files, so you still could not edit it.
    Sorry, but the first rule of any NLE is to establish Presets that match one's Assets. PrPro CS4 (not before that version) allows one to cover their mistakes a bit, but there is still some work getting the improperly set Sequence's material into a new, properly set Sequence.
    If you have access to PrPro CS4, and can finish your Project there, that would be the best. Next would be to create a New Project with the proper Presets and chalk up the lost time as a learning experience.
    Sorry ot bear the bad news.
    Good luck,

  • Error importing old project into Premiere Elements 11

    Trying to import old project backup - that I made a couple of years ago.  When importing the Project file, I get the error
    "The selected file cannot be linked because it's type (video) does not match the original files type (audio and video)."
    I try and select the file, but it then gives the error "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio and video) does not match the original file's type (video).
    If I skip the ones that give me the error, I get an incomplete edit - with lots of bits missing.
    HELP!!!  I need to sort this asap......for a client.
    Thanks

    filippinno
    Here is my plan, either a start to better or a dud. We are going to start small to get a foothold in this.
    My major puzzlement is you telling me that you are replacing video with video and getting the message
    The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio and video) does not match the original file's type (video)
    .The only time I have ever seen that message is when someone is trying to replace still with video or video with still.
    At this moment, where are the source media that went into the original Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project? Let us say, all in Documents in a folder named Special - all have their original names. Given that you are 100% that they are the ones that went into this project...the type (video or still) and file name and file extension.
    I am not sure if it matters for this test whether or not you are using Premiere Elements 11 or 9.0/9.0.1, I just want to find out what is going on with your source media.
    (a) Open the project using Skip All if you are hit with a bunch of "Where is....?" messages which I assume you will be.
    (b) Go to the Timeline, pick a file with the colorful Media Offline display, write down the file name from its title band.
    Right click that file on the Timeline and select Find in Media.
    From Organize Media, delete the Media Offline thumbnail that was pointed out to you clicking Reveal in Media.
    Go back to the Timeline and this same file, right click it and this time select Reveal in Project. That should take you to Project. Delete the file there that Reveal in Project points you to. That will also delete is counterpart on the Timeline. All traces of that particular Media Offline file are now gone in the project.
    In that project, go to Get Media/Files and Folders and browse to and select the original file (with the exact same file name and kind that you just deleted from the project) that you have saved back in that Special Folder in Documents.
    Drag that file from Organize Media or Project to the Timeline in the space made available by your deletion of it as an Media Offline thumbnail.
    Does that work to replace that particular file. Is it the file that you had there originally? Keep in mind that we are identifying this file by name in each step and need a match of file name from start to end.
    If this works for one, then we can plan around this basic finding. And, if this works we may revert back to Replace Footage. But, let us see what happens here first.
    What is your estimate of how many of these Media Offline displays are there to be dealt with? How many of the media are in place on that Timeline and are no problem?
    Looking forward to the results.
    Thanks.

  • Can I import 264 files into Premiere Elements 11

    I get a generic error when I attempt to import some 264 files. These were created on a cctv system.

    As soon as I saw this post, I searched for the .264 extension in my hard drive. Found two files - could play both of them in Premiere Elements 11 and 12. Just imported them and played them on the expert room timeline.
    Pathetic quality of the video though. I am not sure how these are there in my hard drive! Got to check with my friends for whom I have edited some projects if it belongs to them.

  • I am having a problem importing MP4 video into Premier Elements 11.

    When I try to edit a video the highlights are turning black/grey and other colours are turning white or grey making the video look like a negative . . . sometimes the colour goes completely but not always.  Also, when this happens the whole thing freezes. I tried running the videos on QuickTime and they run okay which makes me think it's not the graphics card but Adobe Elements that's the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Problem importing some .MOV files into Premiere Elements 11

    Hello,
    I am trying to import film footage into Premiere Elements 11 and am coming across a rather confusing problem. All of the footage is in .mov format and all of it was taken on the same device on the same day with the same settings.
    When I try to import the footage, some files import ok, others will not import at all and I get a message saying 'The importer reported a generic error'. It seems very odd to me that some .MOV files are OK and others are not.
    This same footage can easily be imported into Premiere Elements 10 and into Windows Movie Maker - which makes me think the issue is with Premiere Elements 11.
    Does anyone have any ideas on this?
    Thanks

    What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it? Did you use Premiere Elements to get the video from the camcorder to your computer?
    Have you ensured you have the latest version of Quicktime installed on your computer?

    Hi Steve,
    After reading everybody’s responses I am feeling a little out of my depth.  Being new to this I am having difficulty in understanding a lot of the information given to me and also in the information you require from me.  It appears that one thing I should never do is mix film from two different cameras.  I would really like to fix this one particular clip though as it holds an interview that was taken when leaving Coober Pedy and something that I don’t want to lose.
    I have today done some research on the camera that took the offending video clip.   It was a Samsung S85 and according to the Samsung website it uses MJPEG video format.
    Here are the specifications as per the Samsung website.

    I downloaded and installed Media Info and Morgan Multimedia MJPEG Codec V3.99.108 today.  Do I have to register it to get it to operate?  I read the documentation file that came with it hoping to find a clue as what I should do but I could not comprehend the information it contained.

  • SWF into Premiere Elements

    My Coworker has Premiere Elements 7.0 on a Windows XP machine. I have Premiere Elements 9.0 on a Windows 7 machine.  We are working with a SWF file that another coworker created in JING. My coworker can import the SWF into Premiere Elements 7 and produce it as an WMV or as an FLV and it works fine.  When I import the SWF into Premiere Elements 9, I get a solid black image. Any ideas?

    Interesting, and especially as FLV (some CODEC's) support was not added until about CS 4.2, the second update to CS 4. Still, most PrPro users cannot get SWF's to Import and edit.
    Until CS 4, one could use the Moyea Premiere FLV Importer plug-in, but things changed with the release of CS 4.0.0. Moyea was working on updating their plug-in, until Adobe added some FLV support to their second update, and then Moyea dropped that project.
    The SWF wrapper has always been the problem, and when one stripped out the FLV from that wrapper in Flash Pro, or similar, it was usually then, that they could Import the FLV component, though not for all CODEC's.
    Good luck,

  • When I import .mts files into Premiere 7 the audio is intermittent?

    Good afternoon. I am new to this forum and your help would be appreciated. I have recently purchased a Sony Hard Drive Camcorder X105E and I have done my first filming. When I import the files into Premiere Elements 7 and preview them the audio is intermittent on playback. What am I doing wrong cause I cant figure it out?
    Thanks in advance for your answers
    Regards
    Edenr1

    OK, on the I/O, you have one, nicely sized, physical HDD. You don't have it partitioned, do you?
    With one physical HDD, so many things are happening at the same exact time:
    1.) your OS is reading/writing to it
    2.) your program is reading/writing to it
    3.) your media is being read from it
    4.) your OS's Virtual Memory is probably being used, so it's reading/writing to it
    The problem is that all of these (plus possibly some other programs/Processes) are fighting to get their data handled at the same time. Each is telling the HDD that it needs the heads in one place on a platter. Same for the next program, and the next. Unfortunately, regardless of the speed of the HDD and the speed of the controller, the heads can only be in one place at one time.
    Especially for the Audio (that is more I/O intensive, than the Video usually is - it taxes the CPU much more), you will benefit from more physical HDD's.
    I just posed an ARTICLE in the Tips & Tricks sub-forum. It links to two articles by Harm Millard. His article on HDD setup is a gem. Now, it takes things to a professional NLE level, and few are quite ready for that, still the info is good. Much can be extrapolated from his suggestions. Though he lists the ultimate Video editing setup, many concepts can be applied on a smaller scale. You might want to read over the linked articles. They will give you some things to think about.
    Also, I just saw an ad for a 1TB WD ATA-300 HDD for US$ 79.00 at Fry's Electronics. While you may need an ATA-100, this shows how far prices have fallen. I've got an ATA-100 1TB, to augment my 4x1TB SATA II's, and it's not that old. I paid US$ 400 for it! Should have waited, but then I've used it for the last year, so all is not lost.
    Good luck,

    into the Premiere Elements 13 Editor.
    Quick results...

  • Import a Premiere CS3 Project into Premiere Elements 7.

    Is it possible (or NOT) import a Premiere CS3 Project into Premiere Elements 7?
    Thanks a lot for any help.

    It is only possible to open some PrE Projects into the right version of PrPro, but will not work the other way around. The error message that you will get is "This Project was created in Adobe PrPro and you need to open it in that program."
    Even going the PrE to PrPro route is filled with potholes. I can open some PrE 4 Projects in PrPro 2.0, but not all - depends on what was done. Later versions of PrE will not open in PrPro 2.0, but some have opened in CS3 and CS4, though much can keep one from being able to do that.

  • Converting 1080/50p video for import into Premiere Elements

    Hi there,
    I'm currently looking into buying an HD camcorder, and editing software to go with it.  I'm considering getting a camcorder which can record in 1080/50p for future-proofing, however I see that Premiere Elements doesn't currently support 1080/50p editing.  I was wondering whether I could sensibly shoot video in 1080/50p for archiving, but convert it down to either 1080/50i or 720/50p prior to importing into Premiere?  Is there a suitable intermediate input format which Premiere supports and which wouldn't result in a significant loss of quality due to the extra transcoding step?
    Also, what is the recommended system requirement for 1080/50i and 720/50p editing?  I have a 2007 Macbook (2.2 GHz Core2 Duo, 4GB RAM), would that be sufficient?
    Thank you.

    Thanks a lot for the very quick response Steve.
    I suspect shooting 1080/50i is likely to be the way to go, I'll obviously have a play once I get the camera.  I just wanted to check whether it's feasible to shoot in 1080/50p, but convert to 720/50p prior to importing into Premiere Elements.  That way I can keep a copy of the 1080/50p clip to use in a few years time when the consumer editing software has caught up.
    If I were to do that, what's the recommended file format to convert to prior to import?  Is there something similar to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) which is fast to convert to and edit from - ideally I'd rather not convert to 720/50p H.264.  Is there a list of Premiere Elements' supproted input formats somewhere?

  • Can I import a menu from Premiere elements 7(the Popcorn menu) into Encore CS4?

    Can I import a menu from Premiere elements 7(the Popcorn menu) into Encore CS4?
    If so how do I accomplish this act?
    Are their additional menus available for Encore CS4?

    The Menus in PrE are in Menu Sets. Each set is a Main Menu and a Scene Selection Menu. As PrE does the authoring semi-automatically, there are many "extras" in those PSD's, in the Button Layer Sets. All you have to do is make a Copy of your two Menus into a separate folder, so that you do not worry about messing up your Menu Sets in PrE. I'd do this in a new sub-folder in the Encore Library folder hierarchy. Then, Open each of these two Menus in PS. Go in and clean out all of the other languages for the Text and Button Text. Match the Layer Set/Button Layer Set names to those naming conventions in the Encore Library Menus, as you will not be getting any semi-automation. Where you do not need, say a Next Button, just eliminate that Button's Layer Set. Remember, PrE will do this semi-automatically, plus will give you the number of Scene Selection Menus, that your Project calls for - Encore will not. You must count the Scenes, divide by the number of Buttons on that Scene Selection Menu, and do Copies of that Menu, to accommodate what you require.
    As for Encore, it comes with a full compliment of Menus, Buttons, and other Assets, like EM files (Templates), with Motion and Audio Assets. All can be completely customized in PS. Note: in PSElements, I do not believe that you can create Layer Sets, so that will be a limitation. The full PS has no limitations, with the single exception that to change Button Sub-picture Highlight colors, this must be done in Encore's Menu Editor, unless it's been added to PS CS5.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - remember, work on Copies of the two Menus in the PrE Menu Set, and NOT on the originals, or you will be doing a Repair Install to get those back.
