Using premiere elements with mac photo library

how does premiere elements access/utilize my existing library? does it create a new library within premiere elements? is premiere elements a plug in editor that can be accessed from my library inspector? do I have to leave the aperature library , post a photo in elements then use elements to work on the photo?

Does this duplicate the files on my hard drive and use up disc space? I am not doing too many movies mostly photos in iPhoto and the shared library in Aperature. Why use iMovie?

Does iPhoto 9.6 work with iCloud Photo Library at all?

I have iOs 8.1, but I have not enabled iCloud Drive or iCloud Photo Library yet, and I have not updated to Yosemite yet. I don't want to activate those until I know how photos between thee mac and iPhone will work after they are enabled.
Does iPhoto 9.6 interact at all with iCloud Photo Library? Does it even "see" iCPL photos similar to PhotoStream? Can it import from there? Do any of the crops and edits come through in iPhoto from the iOS photos app (whether imported from the iCPL or even via direct d/l from the phone via usb?

So what are you guys doing to manage your photos until the OSX Photos app come out? Just not using iCloud Photo Library at all I assume?
Can you use iCloud photo library but still manually import photos into iPhoto from USB import?
You can view your iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and download from iCloud Photo Library (Beta) at https://beta.icloud.com or https://www.icloud.com on your Mac, if you click the "Photos" icon. Click the "?" mark, to view the help for "Photos". But you cannot yet upload directly from your Mac to this library, even if the iCloud Photos Help is saying otherwise.
You can download to your mac from your devices using USB, but with iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled on your iPad or iPhone, you can no longer sync photos to them using iTunes Photo sync. So it is hard to get any photos onto your devices at the moment, other than using Photo Stream. To upload photos to your iPad/iPhone using iTunes you have to disable iCloud Photo Library. And the synced photos will be erased, when you enable iCloud Photo Library again.

Performance problems when using Premiere Elements for photo slideshows

Hello,
I had been using Premiere Elements 9 (PE9) to make a simple slideshow for my parents from their vacation trip and I ran into some serious performance problems. I had used it to create similar projects before, but not nearly as big. This one is like 260 photos, so basically it is 260 seperate clips. I have a POWERHOUSE workstation (see below) so it isn't my PC. Even when PE9 crashes, looking at my performance monitor my CPU and RAM aren't even halfway being utilized. I finally switched to Windows Movie Maker of all things and it worked seemlessly, amazing really. I'm wondering if I was just using PE9 for something other than what it was designed for since there weren't really any video clips, just a ton of photos that I made into video clips, if that makes sense. Based upon my experience with this so far, I can't imagine using PE9 anymore for anything really. I might have the need for a more professional video editing program in the near future, although it does seem like PE has a lot of features. How can I make sure it utilizes my workstation to its full potential? Here are my specs:
PC
Intel Core i7-2600K 4.6 GHz Overclocked

Yes, this system is blazingly fast. I have yet to feel it slow down, even with Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, Illustrator and numerous other apps running at the same time. HOWEVER, Premiere Elements 9 has crashed NUMERUOS times, every time my system wasn't even close to being fully taxed.

Andy,
There ARE some differences between PrE and PrPro w/ an approved CUDA-capable and MPE hardware acceleration-enabled nVidia video card, but those differences show up ONLY in the quality of the Scaling. The processing overhead is almost exactly the same, when it comes to handling the extra pixels.
As of PrPro CS 5, two things changed:
The max. size of Still Images went up from 4096 x 4096 pixels, to quite a bit larger (cannot recall the numbers now).
The Scaling algorithms have been improved, though ONLY with the correct nVidia cards, with MPE hardware support enabled.
Now, there CAN be another consideration, between the two programs, in that PrPro CS 5 - CS 6, are 64-bit ONLY, so one benefits from the computer and OS to run it. PrE can be either 32-bit, or 64-bit, so one might, or might not, be taking advantage of the 64-bit program and OS. Still, the processing overhead will be almost identical, it's just that the 64-bit OS can spread it around a bit.
I still recommend Scaling the large Still Images in PS, prior to Import, to keep that processing overhead as low as is possible. Scaled Still Images work just fine, and I have one Project with 3000+ Scaled Still Images, that edits just fine in PrPro, even on my older 32-bit workstation. Testing that same machine, and PrPro some years ago, I could ONLY work with up to 5 - 4096 x 4096 Stills, before things ground to a crawl.
Now, Adobe AfterEffects handles large Still Images differently, so I just moved that test Project to AE, and added another 20 large Images, which edited just fine. IIRC, AE can handle Still Images up to 10K x 10K pixels, and that might have gone up, as of CS 5.
Good luck, and hope that helps,
Hunt

Want to use Premiere Elements 4 or newer with Windows Vista 64 bit??

We bought a new pc with Windows Vista 64 bit - but are now having problems using my Photoshop Elements6 and Premiere Elements 4 with our new pc. it says on the box and on the web - that it is compatible with Vista - so why isn't it working for us? Do i need to buy something else - and if so what?

I am not sure completely about Photoshop Elements - but my main issue is with Premiere Elements....i need to find a program that will work so i can work with all my videos. Trying to find out why it doesn't work or how to get it to work.

Should I use premiere elements for editing 24p DSLR footage?

Have been shooting with a t4i in 24p and am doing some small business videos - I need some advice on whether I should use premiere elements to edit this footage. Also need to be able drawing lines, add arrows and animate them etc. Is this beyond premiere? Have been using elements for about 5 years on and off, maybe time to step it up?

fishmor
I do not see why not.
It is getting late where I am so I will leave you with some things to consider -
This is what I have found ouy about 24p mentions in Premiere Elements that seem to have no function...
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: 24p Conversion Methods, Pulldowns, and Related Interpret Footage
Probably more than you want to know but.....
As for ability to draw lines, add arrows, and animate them, etc. See program's Titler and its Text Styles Animations Shape sections.
The Premiere Elements Titler offers more opportunities than just text titles. But, sometimes you may want to create a graphic in Photoshop Elements and import it into Premiere Elements. Keep in mind that Premiere Pro is not a photo editor either. Some things that I have done in Premiere Elements in the way of animation....

What video card/graphics card does your Mac computer use? NVIDIA GeForce? If so, please read the description and solution for the Premiere Elements/NVIDIA GeForce issue in the Announcement on the matter at the top of this forum. Any questions or need clarification on that, please do
not hesitate to ask.
What specific disc menu theme or themes are associated with this program failure? What is the exact place where the problem hit..
a. just clicking on Disc Menu header
b. dragging Disc Menu from the display of themes into the Disc Menu area customization screen
c. selecting your menu in the display of choices and then hitting Apply
d. other
Are you running Premiere Elements 10 from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
Is this a "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before" type issue.
On the Windows side of things, application of Run As Administrator as well as the User Account with Administrative Privileges has been know
to resolve some of these issues. I am strictly an Elements Windows user. What is the Mac side of the story for Run As Administrator? At any
rate, are your computer permissions in order?
Just to cover all bases, do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 10?
Let us start here and then decide what next.

Instant Movie not finishing (Premiere Elements 9 + Mac OS X 10.10.2)

I use Premiere Elements 9 with a Mac (OS X 10.10.2) and Instant Movie does not complete! It goes up to 100% at applying the settings of the Instant Movie and it just will not move on. With previous versions of OS X it used to work!
Any thoughts?
Can anyone with a Mac with the latest OS X (10.10.2) and Premiere Elements 9 try to reproduce this problem?

Stavros F
Thanks for your reply.
I am at a cross road as to which troubleshooting path would not generate more problems than you already have. Right now you report
that all seems to be working except Instant Movie.
If the deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file did not impact the Instant Movie problem, an uninstall, free
ccleaner run through, and reinstall with antivirus and firewall (as appropriate for Mac) should be considered. But there is no
guarantee that you might run into installation problems when you go to reinstall 9.0 and then 9.0.1. The next thought regarding
permissions might be the next step.
I am not sure if it is valid to look at this as a permissions issue. I have seen an assortment of Elements Mac issues addressed
by Repair Permission....the path might be Application Folder/Utilities/Disc Utilities and Repair Permissions.
The true test is to find a Mac OSX 10.2.2 user working with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and Instant Movie to confirm your results
since there is always the possibility that there is something in the Instant Movie feature that is not compatible with your computer
operating system.
I am not sure what versions of Premiere Elements are "supposed to" work completely with Mac OSX 10.2.2.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks again for the follow ups. Appreciated.

How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer? I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.

How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer? I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.
Or how does Premiere 11 determine where to set the image for the video it is exporting?
I already know how to use Freeze frame and save the image to my computer by Publish+Share/Computer/ Immage.
Thanks,
Mike

This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. We are all visitors here.
Just a bit of history....back in the days of Premiere Elements 4, you could set a "poster frame" in what was called the Project area. You did this by right clicking a blank area there and, from the drop down menu that appeared, selecting View/Preview Area, and using the poster frame feature there.
As I said, when a video imports into Premiere Elements, the thumbnail of the import has been presenting as the first frame of the video. With this Preview area "poster frame" option, you could set the video's thumbnail in the Project area so that the first frame was another frame in the video. But, this "perk" was restricted to thumbnails of the video in Project area.
If you exported to file with the first frame modified video, the export's thumbnail in Windows Explorer would present with other than the real first frame or the poster frame as the first frame.
Also, in more recent versions, I have observed that the export to file does not display the real first frame of the video in Windows Explorer. Seems random, but I have not kept track.
And, remember, at the onset I wrote
As far as I have ever seen, Premiere Elements Windows uses the first frame of the video for its thumbnail in the program.
I know of no way within Premiere Elements to control what the program opts to do in this matter. In some compatibility
issues, it opts to give no image but a generic one.
I did not say that you can expect to have the Premiere Elements' export file's thumbnail in Windows displaying with its real first frame. And, the more you get into this, depending on the versions, more details need to be added to my comment about "...first frame of video for its thumbnail in the program..."
I would have to look into all this further to get perspective on the contributing factors.

Add On...The Poster Frame feature appeared in versions 4, 7, 8, and 9 by my count.

How do I use Premiere Elements 9 to synch and mix 2 video feeds?

I am trying to put together a wrestling television show using Premiere Elements 9. We use 2 different cameras, a stationary hard camera and a moving ring camera. In the past I have used an Avio system where I manually synched the 2 feeds and then I was able to drag and drop the ring camera feed on to the stationary hard camera. How do I do this function using this software? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, PrE does not have direct multi-cam functionality. PrPro does, allowing one to sync up to 4 cameras, and if you Nest Multi-camera Sequences, you can do more, though not quite so easily as with four.
With PrE, it's probably easiest to place your main camera Clip(s) on Video Track 1, and edit that as needed. Then, bring in the second camera's Clip(s) onto Video Track 2, and reduce the Fixed Effect>Opacity to ~ 40 - 50%, so that you can "see through" them. Then, adjust those, Trimming, as desired, leaving gaps between them. When done, change the Effect>Opacity back to 100%. Transitions can then be applied, if desired, to the Head & Tail of each of those Video Track 2 Clips.
So long as the footage from the two cameras is the same Frame Size, and also matches the Project's Preset Frame Size, nothing more needs to be done, as the footage on Video Track 2 will just visually replace any Frames on Video Track 1.
If you do much multi-cam work, PrPro might be a great investment, as it's Multi-Camera feature will make life so very, very easy.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - it seems that a few months ago, there was another multi-cam question here, and that Steve Grisetti had a slightly different workflow, than the one that I described. I will post a link to that thread, if I can find it.

When I am using Premiere elements 13 I get a message that pops up "that there is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive", this also happened 3 months ago How can I get rid of this again?

When I am using Premiere Elements 13 I get a message that pops up "There is no disk in the drive" I click on it and it keeps coming back "very annoying", but about three months ago it happened to me and I was told to change the file name from OldFilm.AEX to OldFilm.AEXold. Well now the file is back in Folder OldFilm.AEX. Here is a screen shot the files are highlighted.What should I do now to correct this once and for all, or can I? Thank you for your time.

TomWolves
I would do another rename to disable or just delete all the OldFilm.AEX and OldFilm.AEXOLD in that NewBlue Folder.
If you do, please let me know if that OldFilm.AEX regenerates itself the next time you open Premiere Elements 13.
Here is the strange story...at least from my Premiere Elements 13 Windows perspective...never had the No Disc error issue
Here are some details to sort through trying to figure out why you have 2 OldFilm.AEX file in the NewBlue Folder.
1. The original OldFilm.AEX file of Premiere Elements 13 has the date of 9/4/2014 (just before the version was released on 9/24/2014).
After the 13.1 update is done (whenever date), that OldFilm.AEX file has the date of 1/31/2015. I first saw notification of the 13.1 Update
release early in February 2015.
2. Now in Premiere Elements 13.1, if I take my OldFilm.AEX (date 1/31/2015) and disable it by renaming it to OldFilm.AEXOLD, close out of there, and reopen
the program, the OldFilm.AEX is not seen to regenerate. The OldFilm.AEXOLD remains there as its lone self.
3. So, I am thinking that your OldFilm.AEXOLD in the screenshoot is "original equipment" that you disabled to get rid of No disc error.
Why the OldFilm.AEX is there also is not clear, but the dating on it suggests that it came along with the 13.1 Update.
Bottom line: let us try the deletion or disabling one more time and see what happens.
Looking forward to further reports on your findings, as your time permits.
Thanks.

Text Save Style in Premiere Elements 13 Mac

Are you working in the Expert workspace or the Quick workspace of the program?
Adobe has just released the 13.1 Update for version 13. Have you downloaded and installed it? If not, don't right now.
Please do this mini test first in a new project...
1. Open the Titler with Text Menu/New/Default Text
2. In the Text Section of the Titler create your text, apply a style to it from the Styles Section of the Titler, and save
the text style in the Style Section of the Titler.
If that is what you have been doing, then update from 13 to 13.1 And, repeat the mini test run. Do you have the same problem
in 13.1 as you did in 13?
If so, go to the Quick workspace, and repeat the mini test run there. Do you have the same problems in the Quick workspace as
you did in the Expert workspace?
If that does not help the situation, then please delete the Premiere Elements 13/13.1 setting file which should be found

I my harddrive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone. How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

The external drive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone. How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

Are the photos you want to send back to your mac on your iPad, iPod, iPhone saved to the camera roll? If you have photos in other albums (not camera roll) share them to the camera roll.
Then connect your device via USB and lauch iPhoto. You will see your device as a camera in iPhoto. Import those photos like you would import from a camera.

Using Premiere elements 9 on a netbook

I have an Asus Eee PC 1015pem netbook with an
Atom 550 1.5 ghz dual core cpu
2 gb ddr3 ram
a 1024 x 768 screen
running win 7 home premium
Can I install and use Premiere elements 9?
My camcorder creates avchd files and I would use those to edit with.
Thanks for any advice.

I had a very similiar question, this has been a great thread, I've learned a lot. So, editing HD quality video on a netbook is unrealistic.
But woudl editing lower quality standard def work?
My girlfriend needs a small computer that does word/ppt/excel/email/web surfing....a netbook would be great for her.
She is also a dancer, and would like to use the camera on a netbook to record her rehearshals and review them either during rehearsal, or afterwards. She would also like to then edit the video on the netbook to make rehearsal video, to kind of 'compose' the dance piece from different videos, to build up how she wants the final piece to be.
The end result would just be for her to see the flow, and for archival purposes of the rehearsals. It would not be used for the actual performance.
So, given the lower quality needs, might a high performance netbook work?
Thanks
Jim

Premiere Elements 11 Mac Timeline rendering issue

Every time I try to render my video in Premiere Elements 11 on my Mac the program shuts down. Please help,

briank
What are the formats on the Premiere Elements 11 Mac Timeline whose contents you are rendering to get the best possible preview? Do you have this problem with specific media source, and does the problem go away in a new project?
When you drag your file as the first file dragged to the Timeline, do you get an orange line over it or is there no colored line over it then?
If at this point there is an orange line over that content and you Timeline render, is that when you get the crash?
Or, does the crash occurs when you are doing a Timeline render because you have just edited one of the Timeline components? If this is the case,
what effects did you apply to the source and what edits did you perform on it?
If you go to the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder in the Adobe Folder, how many preview files are piled up there?
Is your computer connected to the Internet? And, are you getting messages about rendering activation needed at the Timeline level?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.
