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.

How to use LightRoom with Premier Elements?

I have recently learned LightRoom 5 and feel fairly comfortable with it. I'm now in the process of working on movie editing starting with Premier Elements 11. I'm just starting to go through it and I see that it integrates with an organizer that seems germaine to the Elements group. Issue is that I'm already using LR for organization. Am consequently a bit confused.
Can anyone suggest how to work with LR and Premier Elements together?
A secondary question has to do with audio file management. I see that the Elements Organizer also includes audio files. But LR doesn't. To date I've managed audio with Windows Media Player. Can anyone offer any suggestions for moving forward with audio management?

I use Lightroom 5.2 and Premier Elements 11 on a fast video optimized i7 PC laptop with lots of memory. It even has a Blu-Ray burner!
My photo and video files are first copied and stored by camera and date. Then I use LR to organize and preview, review and select both photos and clips. IMO, the clip preview ability of LR is very good. LR will let you make some simple edits to clips but I don't use that for video, only photos. My photos will be a mix of JPG and RAW and I will tune them with LR. Some of the photos may get some extra masking or HDR work elsewhere and then brought back into LR.
As I've preview the clips, as well as photos, that I want to use I put them in a LR collection. Next I prepare a project specific folder on my SSD named something like "Vacation Trip". If it is a big project, I may make some sub folders such as city names.
The big step is to "Export" copies of all the assets I've selected for the collection. I open the collection and select everything in it. Right click, pick Export, set the destination, rename them if desired, select "include video", select "Original" video format, select PSD for images and push the Export button.
The reason for "Original" video is because I don't want any extra compression or processing of the video clips. I want Premier Elements to do that. The reason for "PSD" is that I want my LR adjustments of the still photos to be included before I put them in the project.
Next I open a new PrE project. Before adding any assets, I make sure the the scratch disks are assigned to the project folder.
With the scratch disks set, I then load the assets. I make sure one of the primary video clips is the first to be placed on the timeline as that adjusts the "Project Settings" if necessary. Then I start building the video with the security of knowing I'm only working on a set of image and clip copies.
My audio file management is done entirely the old fashioned way in Windows Explorer. I have an audio assets folder and a system of descriptive folder and file names. I can preview them from Windows Explorer before I import a copy to a project folder. Adjustments to volume and clip length are done to he copy in PrE. I frequently buy a $2 audio clip from Vimeo specific for the project because I like having a license to use the music!
When I'm done, I move the entire project folder somewhere for long term storage.
Hope some of this works for you. If you have suggestions, I would appreciate hearing them.

Using text tool in elements 9

Why am I now getting ____ for a letter now while using the text tool? Was using it earlier with no problem, started working on a new photo & this has happened,and I don`t know how to fix.

When the Text tool is selected, click on the down arrow at the far left of the Options Bar and select "Reset Tool".

When I use my program "Premier elements

when I run my program, it says camera offline. how do I get it to be on? it is a canon hd vixia hf11 any help would be helpfull. thanks

Welcome to the forum.
Your Canon is not an HDV miniDV tape camera, so you cannot Capture.
Instead, Copy the full folder structure from your flash memory cards, to the HDD, and then use Get Media Files & Folders, to Import (somewhat similar to Capture, but with major differences) into a proper HD Project.
You can probably also use the USB cord (but that will be slow), to Copy the files and folders (remember, get the entire folder structure) to your HDD.
Good luck,

Text tool in elements 10 has taken to locking up computer

Any attempt to use text tool in elements 10 has taken to locking up computer. I do not want to pay for an upgrade until I know that one of two things will happen: 1) the upgrade will fix this situation, OR 2) there is a way to repair the problem so that the upgrade will install properly

Select the T tool and try a reset - see image below:

Premier Elements 12, windows 7 64 bit pro

When editing, half way through my program, when DTI is moved when I make a cut, the video on the time line that is visible does not change.
I quiet and started again, and the same happened when I was half way through my program
[email protected]

I have three cameras. I add three videos to the time line. One on top of
the other. I change cameras after about 40 seconds.
I am not using a switcher and thanks to adobe, I have no need for that.
I have been using Adobe since Premier Elements 9. Normally I have no
problem. Yesterday this started. It is strange.
I will try to burn a disk and see if it comes out right, if not then I
will try another video. Maybe that will make a difference.
I doubt that would make a difference. My you have an opinion???
Thanks again
Jim

I am a professional photographer of many years standing and at the moment I have a student for 12 months, who I am teaching how to use various Adobe programs, but to introduce her to video editing, I have purchased Adobe Premier Elements 13 which is less complicated than the Premier Pro that I use. The program works perfectly, except for one thing.... when adding a title to the short video sequence we are working with, if I use a particular font (Metallophile Sp8) which I obtained from my Adobe Typekit, it crashes the program,.... all other fonts work perfectly....can anybody help me please?

clivephoto
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on? And what video card/graphics card does this computer use?
From your description, can I assume that this Mettallophile Sp8 font is being recognized by Premiere Elements 13 to the extent
that it can be seen and remains seen in Titler's list of font choices - even after the crashes?
If you opened a new project, imported nothing, and created a text title in the Titler with this Mettallophile Sp8 font, does the program crash?
Please review the following which discuss fonts and Premiere Elements and determine if anything in it helps.

Styles in Premier Elements 12 (Mac) isn't working at all (Text). Any ideas please? Thanks.

I'm using Premier Elements 12 on a Mac (version 10.9.4) and Styles isn't responding at all. There are no problems with any of the other text options. Can anyone help me with this please?

rosalie gibb
This is an old story.
There is a Text Style issue only in the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 12.
Adobe remedied that situation by going from 12 to the 12.1 Update via an opened project's Help Menu/Update. Have you been there and done that?
Before the Adobe 12.1 Update, the workaround was to do the Text Style in the Quick workspace and work between the two workspaces.
Please let us know if that 12.1 works for you.
Thanks.

I recently had some 8mm film transferred to DVD. I am trying to edit the film clips using Premier Elements 4.0. so I can reburn the films on a single BluRay disc. Some of the film clips copy into the project but others don't. I tried copying the VOB filed onto my hard drive and then changing the file extensions on the VOB files to MPEG but this was no help. Some of the VOB files contain numerous film clips but my software does not appear to be able to recognize them as such. I need to know if replacing my old Premier Elements with the new Version 13 would solve this problem or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What do you have now.....
What computer operating system do you have?
We can go into the finer points of source and your intentions, but for now it would appear that you are using SD 4:3 source media to get to a HD 16:9 result. Lots to discuss in this regard.
What was given to you on the DVD disc? DVD-VIDEO 4:3 or something else?
If DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, you should expect to find on the disc a folder named VIDEO_TS. That is your target for your video files.
If you were given a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then all you want from it are the video files, specifically
VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on through that series until possibly getting to
VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on. How many files you have beyond the VTS_01_1.VOB file will depend on the size of the DVD-VIDEO.
Does the above scenario apply to you?
The alternative might be someone giving a DVD disc (data disc) which contains just the VTS files mentioned which were copied from
the VIDEO_TS Folder. So, you do not get the whole VIDEO_TS Folder, just the essential video files. Does this scenario apply to you.
I see no need to replace your Premiere Elements 4 with a later version unless you have a huge project and need a later version that will be a 64 bit application running specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
Consider...Premiere Elements 4 and if you have DVD-VIDEO on DVD....
1. Place the DVD disc in the burner tray
2. Open Premiere Elements 4 and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard (assuming you are working in a NTSC setup)
3. Go to
Get Media
"DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader"
"Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" and its Advanced dialog.
Set the Source in the latter dialog for the drive which has your DVD disc inserted in its tray
You should see your VTS_01_1.VOB thumbnail in the "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" Advanced dialog.
With this VOB selected, click on Get Media to get the file from there into the project.
Should work fine.
Complications may be involved if the people who processed your footage gave you something other what is described above.
Please review and consider, and then we can plan our project strategy accordingly.
Thank you.

Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and Premiere Elements 13 are standalone products.
So, you can have both on the same computer, but only open one for your work.
The classical recommendation is to finish a project in the version in which it was created since there
is no guarantee that a project from an earlier version will open in the later version. Probably will, but
no guarantees. And, when you do explore this, do it from a copy of the earlier version project. Once you
take the earlier version project into a later version one, you cannot go back to edit the later version edited
project in the earlier version program.
If you have both versions (9 and 13) on the same computer and you have not moved, deleted, renamed any of the version 9's files/folders,
right click the saved closed Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project file, select Open With, and then Adobe Premiere Elements 13.
(Your 9.0/9.0.1 saved closed project file should be found in Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/9.0.)
Please review and consider. If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Thank you.

Using Adobe Premier Elements to create a video using the photos and it is make the photos blurry. Is there a setting to correct this?

as the subject states, i am suing Premier Elements pro to create a video using photos. The photos are clear then when you play the video they become blurry. I would guess there would be a way to correct this but not having much success. any helps would be great.

Iltowman
Thanks for the follow up. Right now I see details that do need addressing. For one, you are importing 3:2 photos into a project set for 16:9.
You still have not told us what version of Premiere Elements that you are using and on what computer operating system it is running. For now I will assume, Premiere Elements 13/13.1 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. NTSC setup.
Please try the following as a mini test run (just a few of your photos) to determine if the Timeline photos present better in the Edit area and in an export.
1. Open Premiere Elements 13/13.1 to the Expert workspace and go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
2. In Change Settings, change the settings to
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR [email protected]
OK out of there.
3. In the New Project Dialog that now opens, rename the project and make sure that you have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting on This Project. OK out of there.
4. Back in the Export workspace, import your photos using Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Projects Assets from where you drag the photos to the Timeline. There will be an orange line over the Timeline content. Press the Enter key of the computer main keyboard. or the Render button above the Timeline to do Timeline rendering which will result in the best possible preview in the Edit area monitor.
Also, right click the Edit area monitor, select Playback Quality, and then determine if the "Highest" gives better results than "Automatic".
If all looks good, then let us look at the quality of a AVCHD.mp4 export of that Timeline....
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30.
Is the quality of the photos in this mini test run better, the same, or worse?
About your photos (3872 x 2592 3:2)...video is 4:3 or 16:9. So to avoid black borders, you could consider
a. cropping the originals from 3:2 to 16:9 before import
or
b. importing them as is and doing any needed scaling in the Edit area monitor
But, right now the focus is on image clarity rather than black borders.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

Where can I find instructions or manual for using Premier elements 12?

Looking for instructions or manual for using Premier Elements 12. Has Photoshope Elements 7 and Premier Elements 7. I had saved projects which I now cannot retrieve into the 12 versions.

I have Photoshop Elements 7 and Premiere Elements 7 on Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit as well as on Windows 8 64 bit. All is well.
With your Photoshop Elements 7 your Windows 7, what do the Performance numbers look like under Full Editor, Edit Menu/Preferences/Performance?
My Windows 7 64 bit has the Windows XP compatibility mode. Due to the results from some of my recent maneuvers, I wonder about your thoughts of installing Photoshop Elements 7 on the Windows XP Mode side and gaining access to it from the Windows 7 side. You may loss the integration perks of Photoshop Elements 7 and Premiere Elements 7 since they technically will be on different operating systems.
I will explain next time if necessary how that type of idea backfired on me recently with my long standing problem of trying to get Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor to open in my Windows 7 64 bit desktop.
More later.

Create colum headings using text elements

Hi Experts,
I want to create column heading of a report using text element, how can i create create column headings using text elements and how can i use in the top-of-page event.
Thanks

Hi,
1 For Creating Text Element,
go to Se38 -
> Write Name of the Program - > Click Change button - > Then go to GoTo on Menu Bar--> text Elements
> Select Text Symbol
In First Column( Sym) Write any Number which is not used like 001, 002.....
In Second Column (Text) write in text or description .... like Sales Order....
U can use this text Symbol in code -
> text-001, text-002.....
2 In order to insert a report heading in to the ALV grid you need to perform the following steps:
                    1. Update 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' FM call to include 'top-of-page' FORM
                2. Create 'top-of-page' FORM
3 In order to add event functionality such as 'END_OF_PAGE' to the ALV grid you need to setup the
IT_EVENTS option of the ALV function module. Also depending on which event you are using you
   may also need to setup the print parameters by activating the IS_PRINT option. Please note for events
such as end_of_page, end_of_list etc they will not be displayed on screen but only in the printed
   output.
        Step 1. Add data declaration for events and print parameters
        Step 2. Update 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' FM call to include parameter 'it_events' and 'is_print'
        Step 3. Add code to setup events table and print parameters
        Step 4. Create event FORM(s), which are executed when event is triggered
Thanks & Regards,
