Unable to set up video for editing

I am a novice and am using the trial version of Premiere Elements 8.  I have gone through the Using Adobe Premiere Elements 8 product support quite a few times over the past several days and am not able to figure out how to set up videos for editing.
When I am in Elements Organizer, the various files on my hard drive show on the left.  Two video files converted to MPEG show in a middle column.  I can play them by double clicking on them.  However, I am totally lost on how to set them up so that I can edit them (cutting into clips, improving lighting, etc).  Would someone please let me know either how to set up my videos for editing or let me know where there are help discussions or tutorials.
Thanks for any help.
Steve Gillings

Steve,
You are in the Elements Organizer, which more like a catalog manager and not a video editor.
One of the ways to start editing is as mentioned by John in the post above.
The other way is to launch Adobe Premiere Elements directly which can be done simply by clicking the desktop icon and selecting new project option
OR you can run the AdobePremiereElements.exe from your install location.
I see that you have installed the tryout version for Elements 8, that is last year's version, Elements 9 is already out, its better that you try the latest version. A lot of us on the forum have started using it.
cheers.

  • Unable to set email address for user MySite in SharePoint2013

    Hi,
    I've a SharePoint Ent farm with a MySite Host Site Collection created. Under that, I've got some users having their own MySites.
    Now, the problem is, I'm unable to get the link for editing the user's email address after logging in to the MySite under the credentials of the particular user. 
    Can anybody please suggest. Is this field at all editable?
    Thanks,
    Arnab

    Hi John,
    Elaborating...
    I've created a MySite Host Site Collection programmatically, say, http://test.mysitehost.local/.
    Under the same I'm creating user mysites (through SharePoint2013 Object model), say, http://test.mysitehost.local/personal/user1. (for my case "personal" is the managed path). While creating the user mysites, I'm not passing any value for the email
    address of the user. 
    Now, my question is, can I set the email address of the user from MS native portal or through powershell?
    Please note, I'm using SharePoint2013 Server.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 with record name n`.

    When starting Server Preferences, I receive a window with the following text:Unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 with record name n`. There may be an error with the Open Directory Service.
    This started to occur after I used the command changeip to change the ip of the service.
    I've tried (Re)starting Open Directory Service, but that doesn't resolve it.
    Does anyone know how I can resolve this error? I'd like to be able to user Server Preferences again!

    One of our servers (10.6.8)  that had been running for months suddenly started generating that error message when trying to access Server Preferences.  Workgroup Manager, which seems to use the same login information, accessed just fine. We tried deleting access information in Keychain, to no avail. What finally worked for US was:
    - Via Server Admin, (in Open Directory > Settings > General) change the Role: Open Directory from Master to Standalone
    - This (for us) then restored access to Server Prefs
    - Use Server Admin to change the Role back to Master
    Warnings - 1)  backup first  2) you will have to reinstall the master password, and  3) ALL accounts were lost and had to be recreated.

  • Unable to set parent context for this record.

    Has anyone seen this error when doing an import? In my case I was doing an import to the Opportunity Product record.
    the full error message is
    Unable to set parent context for this record. Please make sure that the parent record is valid and you have permission to modify the parent record.
    I was attempting to populate one field on the record with data.

    Hi,
    Was there a resolution to this that you found, cause it's driving me crazy.
    We've resorted to manually created a product in OnDemand with an EUI and exported it but we can't reimport it to overwrite it as we get the same error message "Unable to set parent context for this record"
    The opty and the product both exist as they got manually created, although when you export them there are now 2 of them (I see this in reporting as well????)
    Besides the Opty-Product External ID what else is required to do an import to overwrite?
    regards

  • Has anyone encounter this "unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3"?

    Install and updated the Macmini server to 10.6.5. It working fine until try to access the Server Preferences and error message "unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 with the record name **." Looking at the logs and has servermgr_accounts got error 5203 trying to auth to local LDAP node. Has anyone found solution for this problem?
    Thanks
    Luis

    Thank you for responding. This is what we are using in a small company a Cisco Switcher, and don't have a router.
    If you're getting connections off of the network out to the Internet, then yes, there is a router involved. Somewhere.
    MacMini server I have an IP address of 169.254.xxx.xx, before IP address was 192.254.xxx.xx.
    That IP address implies that the box isn't getting an IP address from a DHCP server; that's the self-assigned block. (Officially, these addresses are in the Automatic Private Address Configuration Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) IANA reserved range.)
    Which implies that at least two problems lurk.
    Mac OS X Server must have a static IP address. Not DHCP-assigned dynamic addresses.
    And a DHCP server isn't answering the IP address requests. (Well, not unless the DHCP server is passing out addresses in the self-assigned block, and that wouldn't likely be considered best-practice. More likely an IP address from a DHCP address pool allocated within a subnet somewhere in the 10.0.0.0/8 or 172.16.0.0/12 or (less desirably) 192.168.0.0/16 private blocks.
    The Firewall is not turned on. Its purpose is for guest to access files, without deleting or modifying it.
    When you're debugging problems, simplify. Divide the problem. With network services, test the lowest levels of the stack. Then work your way up the stack; toward higher-level services and mechanisms. Then add more parts and pieces, and DHCP and related.
    IP hosts operating at 169.254.0.0/16 addresses (for longer than it takes to get an IP address from DHCP) usually implies that the network configuration is invalid or the DHCP server is not working.
    I did not expect that Open Directory would be a big problem.
    If DNS services or IP routing is misconfigured, then the whole rest of the stack will be unstable at best. The configuration order (and debugging order) involves functional IP networking and hardware, first and foremost. Then having functional DNS. Then Open Directory and then Kerberos. Then the rest of the stack.

  • Unable to set default program for .pdf

    CURRENT PROBLEM:
    As show in print screen, when i attempt to set default program nth happens at all. The only way i can open any .pdf file now is by 1st opening adobe reader 9 and select the .pdf file manually
    INITIAL STAGE OF PROBLEM:
    Problem started after upgrading to windows 7 from vista. Windows 7 is able to recognise adobe reader 8 as a valid default program since it is in windows.old. Thus the default for .pdf is adobe reader 8 (it was installed in vista).
    Subsequently, installing adobe reader 9 isof  no use as it will be ignored and windows 7 will only continue to use adobe reader 8 as the default reader when i try to open a .pdf file, unless if i manually opened adobe reader 9 and selected a .pdf file manaually
    However, I am unable to uninstall adobe reader 8 as the "program and feature" can only identify adobe reader 9 and does not think that adobe reader 8 exists.
    ATTEMPTs TO SOLVE:
    Thus, I removed windows.old by using the disk cleanup. However, I am still unable to set adobe reader 9 as the default reader. Instead, .pdf are no longer accessible/"open-able" unless I 1st opened adobe reader 9 and then selected a .pdf manaually.
    I've attempted reinstalling and restarting comps etc, they dun seem to help. I suspect the OS is now only able to recognise adobe reader 8 from windows.old as a valid program directory due to some registry issues since it was initally set as the default when i 1st upgraded the OS. Now that adobe reader 8 is removed, there might be some corrupted registry somewhere that needs to be set right again?
    Really need help with this. Thanks a million.

    Thanks guys for showing interest in helping.
    As you guys can see, there's no adobe reader when u expand. Also, I already browsed the reader just in case too. Thus expanding doesnt help. =(
    Also, I cant seem to find the "file type" tab in folder options

  • Storing analog converted to digital video for editing later

    Okay, so I am still experimenting AND learning. I was hoping I could use the DVD as a storage medium and later pick, choose and edit clips. I tried but now I have a movie of all the clips I took on that tape and I can't access them. What is the best way to store the video for later use in editing and compiling?

    Sorry I have been busy with other non tech projects lately. I think I was supposed to mark the replies as helpful or solved or something so all of you people who gave input could accumulate points. I am new to these discussion groups.
    I am going to try the following:
    1. convert small chunks of video
    2. Store as QT video on DVD
    3. Store as QT video on hard drive
    4. Then try editing each

  • 206 unable to set alert only for certain group

    Hi,
    is it a symbian unwanted feature that user is unable to set Nokia 206
    profile to alert for certain group (even though this kind of functionality is
    available on this phone)?
    To be more precise user is able to set profile to alert only for certain
    group but this setting has no effect (phone rebooted, groups recreated, etc. no effect)
    This feature has been available and workin in previous Nokia phones
    since last decace - is it a software quality issue or what.
    Best regards,
    Hez

    It is the Application Pool account making the query to retrieve the groups, so you would need to establish a trust from Domain B -> A.

    Hi,
    I am not talking about a query but about a regular AD resource configuration - so there is no code to provide.

  • I have a group and it works, but unable to locate the group for edits.

    The addresses that I originally set up in the group are saved in the group since by entering the group name in the address field all the addresses are entered into the mail. Problem is that I cannot find the group for editing purposes. I thought the way was to go to contacts on the left and find the group there....no such group listed.
    Thanks,

    Since there is no such thing as Groups in Thunderbird I will assume you are looking for a Mailing List that you created in one of your Address Books.
    When you open the Address Book window do you have the Directory Pane showing?
    If not turn it on by going to the menu bar and selecting View-Layout-Directory Pane
    Any address book that has a Mailing List in it will either be showing the list as a sub-folder or have a small pointer beside the address book folder. If the sub-folder tree is not showing click the pointer to expand the view.
    Then again since you are using terms like Contacts and Groups are you even talking about Thunderbird email client?

  • How to transfer video for editing?

    My brother want to send me video (imported from his video camera) so that I can edit it and send it back to him.
    We both have imovie '09. We would like to use idisk to do this.
    He tried creating a project and then copying that to idisk. When I downloaded, it said that I did not have the source video - which is true. I has hoped it would come with the project.
    Is there a way to simply get the video that he recorded from his computer to mine via idisk so that I can edit it in imovie?
    I tried looking up the answer in "Support" and either could not find it, or could not understand it.
    Thank you so much for your assistance.

    The source files will be in a folder named "iMovie Events". This folder may be on the internal drive or on an external drive (if one is being used) - depending on where Events are being stored.
    There should be a folder for each of your Events inside that iMovie Events folder. Inside each Event folder you will find all the individual clips that have been imported for that Event. Also, you will find 2 other folders - iMovie Cache and iMovie Thumbnails. The Cache folder contains a complete .mov version, in AIC format, of your imported clips.
    When burning the data DVD, ensure that the full Event folder is copied - not just the clips. I'm not absolutely sure if you will need the Cache and Thumbnail folders, but it's better to be safe than sorry! Logically, you should be able to recreate the Event simply by importing all the clips originally imported by your brother. These clips will already be in a format suitable for editing in iMovie.
