Video editor is not opening.

I open premier elements 11, and try to choose Video from the welcome screen and it does not open.  I've tried new project, existing project, and in either case the whole adobe premier elements 11 program just closes.
???  What's going on?
Thanks!  Bea
(I've had the program for about 4 months and it has been "working fine" - just got the adobe print manual and did lesson one - loved it! - and am trying to do lesson two when **suddenly** it's not working!!)

Let us first make sure that you do not have a pile up of preview files and conformed video and audio on your computer hard drive.
In the Adobe Folder/Premiere Elements/11.0, by default in Documents(Windows), see what is piled up in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder and the Media Cache Folder. The contents of each can be deleted. The Media Cache at that location will have conformed audio files (cfa and pek), and more conformed autio will be automatically regenerated if and when needed. Deleting the preview files will mean rendering Timeline files again if you need a best possible preview.
Also, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Media - Media Cache Database - to find a path to the conformed video (.mcdb). Hit the Clean button there to get rid of them. Like the conformed audio, these files will be regenerated when and if needed.
Good idea to optimize your computer. Many including myself included in routine computer maintenance the cclearer for regular and if necessary registry cleaning.

Have you installed any new programs on your computer?
If computer optimization has not impact, let us try flushing the preferences...in Windows 7 or 8 64 bit..

Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and in the 11.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, delete the whole 11.0 Folder in which it exists.
Remember to  be working with Folder Options Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the path described.
How long has the issue existed...just today, yesterday, last week? Depending on the circumstances, you could try a System Restore, but I think that I would prefer what I described above before that.
Please review and then let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

Since you say that this issue is happening with old and new projects, I hesitate to post Adobe information on Damaged projects, but I will post it anyway - for future reference for for now as it turns out.

  • Adobe Premier Elements Video Editor will not open

    I just installed version 12 of Adobe Premier Elements on my Windows 7 (64) system and am unable to open Video Editor.  I receive a message that the display driver is not current and a newer version would make the program run more efficiently.  After some time, the video editor stops trying to load.  I have verified all windows updates are loaded and that I have the most current Quicktime version.  I have also unloaded and reloaded Adobe Premier Elements but this issue continues to persist.  Please assist.

    I suspect that this might be the immediate area to pursue
    1.     What is your video card's/chip's make and model?                        
    AMD Radeon HD 8730M, Intel Graphics HD 4000
    There have been discussions here about problems with Premiere Elements and a dual video card set up.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5747654
    What happens if you disable the Intel Graphics HD 4000 and just work with the AMD video card?
    This is one of John T. Smith's and Hunt's favorite subjects. So we should be hearing from them soon. Meanwhile their presence can be felt in the link that I have referenced on this subject of dual video cards.
    More later.

    Hi, Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below: Solution 1:1. Close Elements.2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences. Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list. Solution 4: On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Locales\\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.    Now launch PSE and check if it works.    For related post for Twain please see this:http://forums.adobe.com/message/2954743#2954743 Thanks,Garry

    I have solved the problem myself.  I noticed when running Task Manager 
    that I was using a lot of resources (>60% CPU) when running Organizer.   I
    disabled Auto Analyzer and Face Recognition and all is fine now.  I will  add
    one or the other a little at a time to see which is actually  causing the
    problem.

  • Editor will not open.  How to fix?

    We had our printer software worked on yesterday.  Now the PSE8 editor will not open.  The words "launching editor" shows up for several seconds then nothing happens.  The organizer opens fine.  I tried deleting the settings with the control-alt-shift combination and that did not help.  I also uninstalled then reinstalled the PSE8 software and that did not fix it either.  How can I repair this? 

      Try right clicking the desktop icon or the edit button on the welcome screen and choose “Run As Administrator”

  • Photoshop Elements 13, photo EDITOR will not open.

    Purchased Photoshop Elements 13. Install seemed to work with no issues. Organizer opens with no issues. Editor does not open; when I click on Editor, the blue loading bar moves for about 6 seconds, then stops, and nothing opens.
    Any help would be nice... first time Photoshop buyer.

    Hi Sunier,
    I don't know if you solve your problem, but I solved mine...
    Editor would not open, I had to sign in,  then Accept the terms of the license and it would bring me back to the Welcome page where a had the choice of  ''Organizer or Editor''
    The problem was created bye Internet Explorer.  I had to go in Internet Options,   Connections,  LAN Settings and Remove the check at the bottom   ''Use proxy server for your lan''
    After that I restarted my program and It start working. I did notice that the check on ''Use proxy server for your lan'' comes back but do not affect my program to start after.   It was on the first time that I was
    trying to run the program after the install (what I mean, is I did not run photo shop before this install)
    Hope it can help you

    My Photostop Elements 11 Editor will not open pictues.  I have tried to uninstall/install the product and this didn't work.  I can get it to work once in awhile and then it stops working again.  Suggestions?

    Go to the editor preferences>general, click this button and restart the editor:
    Uninstalling doesn't do anything about the preference files.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Photo Editor does not open.

    I needed to do a Win 7 System Restore, and now upon relaunching Photoshop 11, the Organizer will open, but Photo Editor will not open.

    Awesome, glad it's working!
    Your disc should not be corrupted and I am not sure why it wouldn't have worked. It is always possible that not deactivating caused problems, but I doubt it since you are installing to the same computer. The time you need to deactivate is if you move to a different computer.
    You're very welcome!

  • Premier elements 11 (trial) tries to run but video editor does not appear

    I've installed trial version of Premier elements 11 OK and Icon appears on desktop. When I try to run it, I can see from my screen that it tries to load and initialise but the video editor does not appear. Any ideas? I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium. I can see the .exe appear in the task manager process list and then disappears after 10 or so seconds.
