Weird image in Premiere Elements

I captured some images from a game with Fraps. As I always do. I had  32 bit Premiere Elements and that worked perfect. But now I downloaded 64 bit version. And my captures look aweful. Like very fast moving, big pixels and vage, blur, not clear.
What has happend?
When I use the same capture in Windows Live Movie Maker it is perfect, sharp and exactly as I recorded it.
What do I have to do?
Thank you

Lots of possibilities here.
1. Does your computer use a NVIDIA video card? If so, there is an epidemic of display issues related specifically to Premiere Elements 10 users with NVIDIA video card. The fix is to roll back the driver instead of assuring that you have the latest driver version installed. Please refer to:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
2. The next possibilities relates to the scenario which resulted in your Premiere Elements 10 as 64 bit application on Windows 7 64 bit. Depending on the circumstances, I am wondering if an uninstall Fraps and reinstall Fraps (latest version) might be needed to supply a compatible Fraps codec.
a. What was the before version of Premiere Elements?
b. What was the before operating system on which "a" was running?
Thanks.

  • How to burn to ISO image in Premiere Elements 12.1 under Windows 8.1 64bit?

    I really struggle - is there no way to burn from PE12.1 to ISO image (under Win 8.1)?

    Motajko
    There is no way to take your Timeline content to an ISO Image in Premiere Elements 12/12.1 on Windows 8.1 64 bit with just Premiere Elements 12/12.1 by itself.
    Premiere Elements 13 is the first to offer a Burn To: option of ISO Image for DVD, AVCHD, and Blu-ray. Which one of those choices are you seeking (or all of them)?
    If you cannot make due with the Burn To: Folder for DVD and AVCHD, then you can get your ISO Image from 12/12.1 in the following round about way....
    Let us do AVCHD ISO Image as the example...
    1. Burn your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Timeline using Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD, Burn To: = Folder (4.7 GB).
    2. Take the BDMV Folder from the saved folder into the free ImgBurn program and export is as a ISO file.using the category named
    Create Image File from Files/Folder.
    3. When you need the disc product, you can take that ISO file to disc in ImgBurn using the category named Write Image File To Disc.
    For more information on ISO Image and Premiere Elements, please review the following link's content

    After you review and consider the above, we can discuss the matter further if needed.

    Downloading and installing the free ImgBurn needs caution since it is known to travel with unwanted carry alongs.

  • How to Work With Still Images in Premiere Elements 10

    I am struggling with the still images in my Titles for my video project, and would really appreciate some help. I have done a lot of googling on this and searched this forum, but can't seem to find the answer I need, maybe not searching the right questions or just "not getting it".  Not even PE Adobe tips or Adobe TV cover this, although it seems important to know. I am not clear how PE10 will handle the resolution of an imported still image or graphic art from Photoshop. Perhaps this topic will also help others as well.
    I am working on a video project for my job, editing an old training video. Created new Title graphics in Photoshop, inserted the Title images and integrated with video clips, then exported the video segments as MPEG files.  I burned the whole video to DVD.
    When the final DVD plays on a computer or TV screen, the photo images in the titles are fuzzy even though they were clear 300 dpi images. (I know dpi doesn't matter in video). The title text is also a bit fuzzy and the title text that has animation applied to it is even more fuzzy. Yet the old MPEG video clips look fine - it's just my title graphics and text that look bad (embarrasing).
    So I need to know how to improve the quality of the still images/graphics for a video??
    Project settings:
    - Hard Disk, Standard 48kHz
    - Editing Mode: DV NTSC
    - Frame: 720 x 480 (0.9091)
    - Frame rate: 29.97fps
    - with "Optimize Stills" box checked
    Using these settings because I am working with MPEG files from an old training video CD.
    File Export: MPEG, NTSC DVD Standard
    I export the video clips as MPEGS because they will be burned to a CD or DVD for distribution to our staff offices.
    Work Details:
    In Photoshop, I created still image graphics for each Title sized at 720 x480 with high resolution photos and company logo (300 dpi), and save them as a bitmap to import into PE10.  In the Timeline, I insert the still image in "Video 1" track, then in Video 2 track create a Title over it for text (some animated, some still). Sometimes I stack 2 or three titles with text in separate video tracks over one still title image. Yes, there is a red line across the top in the Timeline because I didn't render the still images.
    Questions:
    • What is the best resolution for images imported into PE10 from Photoshop?
    • Should I be creating title graphics/images at 720 x 480 or a larger ratio like 1920 x 1080 so it will display better when seen on a computer or TV?
    • Do I need to render each title image in the timeline so that it will eventually display better in the MPEG?
    • Is it better to create a title and then insert the still image into the title so they are integrated, rather than layered on separate video tracks?
    I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

    When the final DVD plays on a computer or TV screen, the photo images in the titles are fuzzy even though they were clear 300 dpi images. (I know dpi doesn't matter in video). The title text is also a bit fuzzy and the title text that has animation applied to it is even more fuzzy. Yet the old MPEG video clips look fine - it's just my title graphics and text that look bad (embarrasing).
    Remember that DVD-Video was designed for CRT TV sets, and was a major step up from VHS tape. However, when viewed on an HD computer monitor, or HD TV *, it is still ONLY 720 x 480, with is about 1/4 of the resolution as 1920 x 1080, which is about what we are used to seeing on those display devices. That is but only 25% of the quality. It can never look as good as HD material.
    Good luck, and if I missed something, please point that out to me.

    * With the advent of BD players, and up-rezzing DVD players, things HAVE improved, when viewing a DVD-Video on an HD TV. The newer players have up-rezzing chips, that do a very good job of "improving" the viewed material's quality. However, even with those amazing chips, DVD-Video will NEVER be as good as a full-HD source. Also, computers do not have those up-rezzing chips, so when one views a DVD-Video on a high-rez computer monitor, it will still look pretty bad. There ARE a couple of new DVD software players, that improve the quality of DVD-Video played on a high-rez computer monitor, and a few look fairly promising. I speculate that we will see some more development in the DVD-Video area, especially as BD is not proving to be the big seller, that many promised. Even 3D is not helping BD realize its promise.

  • Premiere elements 11 does not recognize blu ray burner

    Purchased Pawtec external blu ray burner. Premiere elements 11 recognizes it as a dvd burner but not a blu ray burner. How can I fix this?

    Long160
    There is no burn to folder for Blu-ray in Premiere Elements (any version), so we cannot use that escape route. What has been used in the past as a workaround for this "no burn to folder for Blu-ray" is creating a Blu-ray disc image with Premiere Elements in conjunction with a virtual Blu-ray burner with a virtual BD-RE disc. I have written about that in the following blog post
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/11/pe12-disc-imagephantom-burner-pe.html
    But, as for the Pawtec external Blu-ray burner being recognized in the Premiere Elements 11 burner location in burn to Blu-ray,
    a. you may just have an external Blu-ray burner that is not compatible with Premiere Elements
    b. you could try for a Premiere Elements 11 uninstall/reinstall going the route of Deactivation with in the program (Help Menu/Deactivate), uninstall via regular Control Panel route, ccleaner run through (https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner), reinstall.
    Have you tried another USB port? Does the Blu-ray burner require one or two USB connections to have enough power for functioning?
    Also, do you have all you operating system updates?
    More later.

  • 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,

    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.

  • Premiere elements 12 is cutting off images after finalizing project

    I have recently finished a music video project and after finalizing the project and saving it down as a wmv. file, I have played back the video and parts have been cut off. I use a lot of green screen keying in my videos and at times the tops of peoples head will be cut off and images aren't aligned the way I had them within the editing program. This is only happening after I save & share the project, but yet everything looks fine in the editing window. No one's heads or limbs are cut off and the back ground images for the green screen effect look fine in the editing window, yet once the project is saved down the background images aren't stretched across the screen like they appeared in the editing program. I don't understand why this is happening and I'm seeking help before I resort to modifying any of my work again.
    Case & point, why is what I see in the editing window different from what I see after the project is finalized? PLEASE HELP!!

    screamindemon
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? For now I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit in case I need to mention specifics.
    What you describe is probably a mismatch of project settings importing and exports. So let us start with details.
    What have you or the project set automatically for the project preset? (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if they appear to be grayed out.)
    What are the properties of what you are putting on the project's Timeline? Do the properties of the source media match the details of the project preset that you are using.
    Then the most likely cause of the problem...your export settings.
    From what you wrote, you are probably using
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    Windows Media
    Now the important part, what are you selecting for "Presets" and what are your settings under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset selected?
    The answers will be in your details.
    If you have questions about what is written or need clarification on it, please do not hesitate to ask. But, the answers are need for all of the above.
    Thank you.

  • Adobe premiere elements 12 - how to create menu bar action for my inserted image button

    adobe premiere elements 12 - how to create menu bar action for my inserted image button without using their movie menu theme

    forbemag
    I do not think that I am completely focused into this completely, so let us see if the following is going to help.
    You are going to need a base for your button. When you mention "image" button, I am assuming that you are using that term to differentiate between a text button and a thumbnail type button.
    The menus (main and scene) take their origin in .psd files on the hard drive and strict nomenclature and structure for Layers Palatte. And, the buttons on the menus trace back to the menu markers on the Timeline, main menu marker and order of placement of scene markers. The scene thumbnail will only appear when there is a scene marker on the Timeline to which it.
    In view of all that
    Where have you already inserted this "image (button)"...into the Layers Palette of a Photoshop document or other? Is this "image (button)" in a structured Layer Group in the Layers Palette with sublayer groups, text layers, graphic/background layer"?
    Let me give you an example
    If you have a button (with thumbnail) on the main menu and you want that to open to a specific scene in your movie, then you use a main menu marker on the Timeline at the spot that you want that button to target.
    If I am getting closer to what you seek, then please further clarify the DVD navigational envisioned scheme.
    Thanks.

  • Moving high resolution images from PSE6 to Premiere Elements 4

    I am trying to take a pdf map (happens to be of the San Diego Zoo) and insert it into a Premiere Elements 4 (PE4) project to show where we went in the Zoo and then show our family pictures/video in that area
    So I bring the pdf map file into PSE6 and convert it to a jpeg and/or psd file so I can import it into PE4 (which cannot import a pdf). It works fine, but if I don't increase the image size in PSE6 the image becomes super blurry in PE4 when I change the scale (zoom in).
    However, when I do increase the image size in PSE6 and save as either a jpeg or psd so it will be clear at 250% scale in PE4, I get this error message when I try to import it to PE4: "File video dimensions (width/height) too large."
    This happens even when I leave the dimensions (8.5 X 8.176 inches) the same and just change the ppi for the higher resolution I need. It starts out as a 300 ppi image and I get the error message even if I only change it to as high as 500 ppi. (And if I go much lower than that, it's not going to help the resolution enough to be worth it in PE4).
    (btw, the original pdf file is perfectly clear in PSE6 at 1000+% and the converted jpeg/psd are clear enough in PSE6 at 250%)
    So, my question is:
    How do I improve the picture quality in PSE6 so that it's not blurry when I export to PE4 and increase the scale, but maintain the right size that PE4 will accept?
    This might be somewhat of a PSE6 question, but hopefully somebody knows the answer and can help me out! Thanks!

    Joseph,
    In an NLE, you are really only using the pixel x pixel dimensions. DPI/PPI mean nothing, except a larger file size.
    You can set the PPI to 72 and be fine for TV. You might want to bump it up slightly, if you are outputting to a progressive file for display on a computer, but even then, you'll not need much.
    PSD will be as clear a format, as you can get. I'd not bother with any JPG compression, as by the time that you lower the compression settings, i.e. compress less, to keep the quality, you will not have compressed all that much.
    For zooming in, you do not need for the image to be much larger than the preset for your Project. The FAQ's at the top of the page have some good recs. for the exact sizing. If you will be panning, while zoomed out, you'll want just enough extra to allow for that movement.
    Depending on the native resolution of your PDF's image, you should be able to get a reasonably sharp image onto the TV screen. Also, judge the final look of this image on a TV, if that is your final output, as it will appear better, than on the computer screen. I use a DVD RW for this sort of testing and just re-use the discs.
    Last, do all of your re-sizing (as much as is possible) in Photoshop. The algorithms are a bit better than in an NLE. Now, for a dynamic zoom, you have no choice but to use Motion>Scale.

  • Can I back up individual image files to a slideshow DVD created in Premiere Elements 4.0?

    I created a Premiere Elements 4.0 Project including 3 separate photo slideshows. The slideshows were created in Photoshop Elements 6.0 and imported into my Premiere Elements project. I was hoping that when burning the project to DVD, my image files would also be individually backed up.
    When I give the DVD to family members I would like them to have access to the image files so they can print or use them individually. I would like to do this in 1 single DVD rather than giving them a DVD with the slideshows and a DVD with the image files. I was able to do this with a previous DVD authoring program I was using, but I cannot figure it out with Premiere Elements 4.0.
    Any ideas if this is do-able with Premiere Elements 4? (I am running Windows Vista Home premium SP1 - 64bit - 3GB RAM)

    Thanks for your help. I tried this. I burned the project to a folder (4.7GB) then to that folder I added a folder with my photos. So in the folder there was "Photos", "OpenDVD" and "Video_TS". I had 3 separate folders within the "Photos" folder, to keep the 3 slideshow photos grouped.
    I burned the entire folder to a DVD using my burn tool. I don't even know the name of the software I used, but I think it was just the Toshiba burn tool. I dragged and dropped the folder into my new disc folder, then at the top of my screen clicked "burn to disc", I named the disc and chose from the formating options "Mastered: disc can be read on other computers and some CD/DVD... no new data can be added..."
    Once burned I checked it on my DVD player and now it recognizes only the individual jpg files so it does a generic slideshow of these images rather than my slideshow project. (no menu, music...) Putting the disc in my computer I could access either the files or the slideshow project, but not on my home DVD player.
    I burned the folders to 2 separate discs, once dragging the whole folder to the disc and once opening the folder and dragging only the individual folders to the disc.
    Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. thanks.

  • Image rotation in Photoshop and Premiere Elements 9

    I have used Photoshop Elements in the past to create slideshows, then edited them with Premiere Elements.  Since I installed version 9, I now have a problem with rotated images.  The images I rotate in Photoshop do not show up as rotated in Premiere.  I went to preferences in Photoshop and unchecked the box for JPEG orientation, which rotated the image on my hard drive.  Now, the image appears rotated in Premiere but it is distorted.  Is there a solution for displaying the rotated images correctly in both applications?

      Normally if you click Output à Edit With Premier Elements from the slideshow editor your project is normally sent to the PRE timeline with the same orientation.
    In PRE you can right click on the slideshow clip and choose break apart. If you then click in the main window a bounding box will appear around your frame. You can then hover your cursor around the corner until the double arrow appears and rotate in any direction.
     

  • Premiere Elements 9, image sizing

    I have been working on a 'slideshow' compiled from scanned pictures. Some of the early images were narrow & tall (approx 3 x 5). When these images are converted in Photoshop Elements to wmv files, imported into Premiere Elements, titles & menu added, & burned as DVDs these narrow 'portrait'  orientated images have been cropped on the bottom by the available height of the TV screen. Doesn't matter if I format them 4:3 or 16:9. Any way to change the height of the image other than starting all over and manually cropping the height in Elements?

  • "Font Capture: Adobe Premiere Elements.exe - Bad Image" error message

    I purchased Premiere Elements 11 last year and it has been working fine.  But just put in a new HDD into my laptop and now I can't open Premiere.  I uninstalled / reinstalled the program a couple times today with no improvement.  The problem is always the same: once I reinstal the program and open it, I get this error message::
    C:\Windows\system32\QUARTZ.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.  Try installing the program again using the original instalation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support
    I tried moving this QUARTZ.dll file, but it says I require permission from TrustedInstaller in order to move this file... whatever that means.

    Please help because I need to get these videos processed!
    Thanks so much,

    I still have this problem, unfortunately...  I can't open Premiere Elements 11 because this error keeps preventing the program.  The program will start to load in the purple box, and the error box will come up, saying it is a "Bad Image" and there's a problem with the system32\QUARTZ.dll file.  I can't get past that step in opening Premiere Elements 11.
    I have followed most the directions on the above article, and connected articles related to it.
    I installed updated drivers and Bios, even though they were the same as what my laptop already had.  I also downloaded the latest version of DirectX and that didn't change anything either.   I tried to extract just the QUARTZ.dll file from it, but never was given an option to chose where to save the download or pull files out from it. 
    Can someone please share any suggestions to battle this problem?  I can't use my Premiere Elements program, which is so frustrating.  Everything else on the computer is working normally.
    Thanks for your ideas and suggestions.
