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 get error that "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements" ..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"The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements"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,

  • 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.

  • Importing MPEG2 files into Premier Elements  8

  • Premiere Elements 11. Can't open Project (PREL file) in Windows 8.1.

    I have created Project (PREL file) in Premiere Elements 11 in Windows 7 Professional environment. I was able to open it with no problem.
    Now I have Windows 8.1. When I am trying to open this project, I have a pop-up saying 'This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.'
    HELP!!!!!

    Levalt
    From what you wrote, this is my understanding.
    For each of your projects,  you set up a special save location for the project file (project.prel) and the source media that go into that particular project.
    If you have 12 projects,  for each, you have a special save location (the project.file source media combo.)
    Each of those 12 projects needs to be exported to a file saved to the computer hard drive. One suggestion might be is to save the export from each into a saved location name Grand Project Source Media.
    It is these 12 exports that are going to be imported into the Grand Final product which will be outputted as wanted. At this point, those exports are your source media that needs to stay in contact with the grand projects. The source media that went into the individual 12 projects are out of the equation at this point.
    But, back to the point that I was trying to get at. Each of those 12 projects that you start with has to have project settings (aka project preset). And, those project settings should match the properties of whatever you are putting on the Timeline of the each project. The project settings direct the program to set the right space in the Edit area monitor for editing so that you do not have black borders, pixel aspect ratio problems, and the like. So, I want to make sure that you have the right project settings for each project.
    Then you need to export the TImeline content from each of those projects. Ideally the export settings should be consistent with the source media properties and the project settings. The ideal is to have this to be the case for all 12 projects.  Cannot advise you about these settings without details...
    What is the project preset for the 12 starting project...NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 or something else?
    If that is your project preset, what are your source media 1080i30, 1080p30, or something else?
    I am suspecting that each individual project will be exported to a HD export 1920 x 1080 which might be a Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets set to maybe a .m2t file, maybe .mp4 file. It is all going to depend on a coordinated plan.
    If you still have questions and need clarification about the above, do not hesitate to ask. I will explain another way if necessary.
    Thank you.

  • Recorded TV in 16:9.  VOB file imported into Premier Elements as 4:3

    I have imported a VOB file into Premier Elements.  It has been recorded in 16:9 format.  Unfortunately, when imported it converts to a 4:3.  Can some please explain why?
    Tony

    In the Project Panel, you can Rt-click on the Clip and choose Interpret footage. There, you can change things like Frame Rate, PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), and can also change how an Alpha Channel is used, should your footage have an Alpha Channel.
    It can be useful, especially with regards to the PAR. Since Frame Size is the same for NTSC 4: 3 & 16:9, except for the PAR to display "regular," or WideScreen.
    Good luck, and do check out how well your machine handles the Menuing functions. That is where many DVR's and VHS to DVD, plus much software deviates from the DVD-specs. Because the first .VOB contains Menus, as well as the first part of the MPEG-2 stream, it is usually where problems will arise. This is covered in that article. With programs, such as Adobe Encore, the DVD's first .VOB WILL be 100% DVD-compliant.

  • Unable to load Site Control File

    Hello,
    The background :
    I am in the process of learning how to create a Management Pack for a distributed application in SCOM 2012 R2.</p><p>For this, I picked our SCCM Site server to use as an example. So, in short, am writing a management pack for SCCM 2007 Discovery.
    I know a management pack might already exist. I am trying to learn by using an architecture I'm familiar with so I need to create this from scratch.
    In order to discover SCCM Site installed on a server, I decided to use the SMS WMI namespace. By reading the
    SMS_ProviderLocation Instance, I am able to detect if the server has SCCM Site installed on it.
    My next step was to find out where the SMS database is hosted. I found
    ROOT\SMS\site_ABC\ namespace contains an instance of SMS_SCI_SiteDefinition where I can find the database name and server name which I can use to discover the other components of a distributed application.
    The problem :
    When I run the query Select * from SMS_SCI_SiteDefinition I get a generic error 0x80041001.
    More Information reveals the following:
    error description : " Unable to load site control file "
    error code : " 2160198400 (0x80c20300) "
    file name : " c:\qfe\nts_sms_fre\sms\siteserver\sdk_provider\smsprov\sspsitecontrolextractor.cpp "
    Now, I cannot find the QFE folder anywhere. The SCCM Site is working fine and the site_control_manager component has no errors. I can launch the SCCM console on that server without any errors and the site status messages do not contain any errors.
    Can someone please help me out with "detecting" an installed instance of SCCM site server using WMI? Is the above error cause for worry for the SCCM part of my brain?
    Thanks in advance for your guidance!

    Thanks for your response Don!
    The SMS_Site instance does not provide information of the database server and database name.
    The funny thing is when I browse use wbemtest to connect to root\SMS\site_XXX and enumerate classes, i do not find
    the SMS_SCI_SiteDefinition. 
    I find it when i enumerate recursively and can browse into the values. I'm not sure how could build a query against this now.
    Can anybody with a test instance of SCCM 2007 check this and let me know please?
    Everything you are looking for exist within WMI. You can use the documentation script as an example to get what you are looking for.

    I check the inventory from the web console and the computer isn't even listed there. Can anyone shed any light? I've searched the forums and the KB and found nothing at all. I need to get this portable collector up by this weekend...any help would be greatly appreciated!
    - Tommy

    A couple of things... first, you MUST load a Portable Collection using the same Collection Server as created the Portable Collector. Second, it sounds very much like somehow your Portable.Ini has gotten dinged. That's not a file you can simply edit and save; if you try, ZAM will stop working. It needs to be updated in the File Store before it'll be accepted. That's a security measure to prevent outside influences from altering that file (as others) for nefarious purposes.
    Please contact Novell Technical Support and tell them that your Portable.Ini needs to be replaced. They'll send you a good copy of Portable.Ini and set you up with UpdateFS, which will register the good copy in your FileStore.
    Another possibility... are you running Oracle instead of MSSQL? It's possible that one or more filenames in the File Store are out of sync with their names in the DB. Oracle being case-sensitive, that's very very easy to do. Again, Novell Technical Support can help you through fixing it if it's true. It's not something that can be simply remedied by oneself.

  • How do I convert a prel file into..

    How do I convert a prel file into a mp3, avi, etc. I am needing to upload the video onto youtube and the file is not compatible as a prel. I am using adobe premier elements 12.

    mgroce
    Given you have Premiere Elements 12/12.1. (limit...2 GB 15 minutes, even if you have an extended time account at YouTube...the extended time account applies only to file uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site)
    If your goal is to get a Premiere Elements 12 Timeline uploaded to YouTube, you have two possible routes....
    a. Publish+Share/Social Websites/YouTube and your selection of the preset that matches your Timeline properties
    or
    b. Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with one of the .mp4 preset to export the Timeline content to a file saved to the computer hard drive from where you upload it to YouTube at the YouTube Web site.
    For best results, I would suggest an AVCHD.mp4 file instead of the "avi" that you mentioned. What is the video compression that goes with that "avi" wrapper?
    As for .mp3, that is a audio file extension, what is your intent on that....an upload to YouTube with just music and with a black video display? YouTube strictly enforces any copyright issues, so please assure that there are none associated with these .mp3 otherwise YouTube will remove them.
    Please review and consider, and then let us know if you have the information that you sought.

  • Trying to import files with transparent backgrounds into Premier Elements 10

    I am struggling to import files from Photoshop CS3 into Premier Elements 10 and preserve their transparent background. I have tried .png (8 and 24 bit), .gif and .psd files. I have tried rasterizing the type layer before "Saving for web and devices" but can't get anything to work. The imported files end up as either text on a white background (.gif) or the file imports as a black background with no type visible (.png and .psd). I have read a few forums but can't find any suggestions beyond what I have already tried. I also get the same problem if I "Save for web and devices" out of Illustrator.
    Any suggestions much appreciated.
    Mick

    kaare
    You have brought up one very interesting maintaining transparency question which I feel goes more to the trigger on the
    Premiere Elements Videomerge pop up than to the Photoshop CS2 Save As with or without a check mark for Maximum Compatibility
    And, I find that Photoshop CS5.1 as well as CS2 involvement in this matter is the same.
    I created three 720 x 480 pixels documents, each with a blue colored circle on a transparent background in
    Photoshop CS2 and saved each
    psd with check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
    psd with no check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
    png
    Each of them was imported into a NTSC DV Standard Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 64 bit project.
    Each triggered the Premiere Elements 11 Videomerge pop up.
    If I checked No for the program request to apply Videomerge, then all 3 results were the same, that is,
    the area around the circle was transparent and the circle was not...just the way it was created in Photoshop CS2.
    So, why was the Videomerge message telling me "Clip being dropped contains solid background color" when
    it had transparency represented by black and did not have a solid background color?
    Even more interesting was what happened if I selected Yes to the program's request to
    apply Videomerge to create transparency for what it claimed to be seeing as "solid background color".
    The result was the same for all three cases, that is, the inside content of the circle became transparent
    and the "black background" became a "solid color".
    Videomerge is not one of my preferred Premiere Elements options.
    To avoid the Videomerge pop up, I would suggest placing a check mark next to the "Do not show again.",
    followed by No in the Videomerge pop up. When you do, you should not be confused by the activities of the
    Videomerge pop up activities and you should have no problems with the maintenance of the Photoshop
    created transparency in the Premiere Elements project.

  • 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,
