What's new in Premiere Elements 13?

Premiere Elements 13 is more of a refinement than a major overhaul of Adobe's consumer video editing program. Though there are a couple of cool new features worth noting:
• New Guided Edits. Version 13 adds more tasks to its library of Guided Edits – step-by-step walkthroughs of its tools and effects.
• The Shake Stabilizer. The Shake Stabilizer is a very nice update of the old Video Stabilizer effect.
• Favorite Moments. A brand-new feature in version 13 is Favorite Moments, a tool for selecting the best moments from a video clip and compiling them into a smooth, new video sequence.
• Video Story. Certainly the most exciting new feature in Premiere Elements 13, though, is Video Story, an advanced tool for assembling clips and building stories using templates and semi-automatic tools.
• Burn your disc to ISOs and Folders. In version 13, your DVDs and BluRays can be burned directly to a disc or they can be archived as ISO image files for later burning to disc.
• Organizer enhancements. The Elements Organizer has also been given a tune-up. The interface has been nicely decluttered, and there’s even tighter integration with Adobe’s Revel “cloud”.
But the most interesting addition is the new theme-based Slide Show Creator, a tool that, for the first time, is available on both the PC and Mac versions of the program.
• Elements Live (eLive). Elements Live is a link directly from the programs to an exclusive web site full of exciting ideas, tutorials and other content especially for Elements users.

Over_Nyquest,
Thanks for noticing!
Here are some of my personal favorites for some of the "what's new" in v13 - the entire new feature list and specific use cases on how to use these features will be rolled out over the next several weeks...
1. Circuit Parameters - For modeling, you can set 'global' style variables and have component and model values be expressions that are dependent on these values. There is a circuit parameters dialog for adjusting the values and they can be used in the SPICE analyses (such as parameter sweep).
2. More components - Maxim has been added as a supported manufacturer (+1300 parts) and many updates to our other supported manufacturers (+1500 new parts/updates from various mfrs). We've added several new power models for thermal analysis (also included are some new eGAN FETs from EPC - these are new, small, highly efficient FETs).
3. Updated the Component Wizard - makes it easier to do the symbol pin mapping for models.
4. The LabVIEW API is now part of the installer (so if you have LabVIEW, it will automatically install for use in automating your simulations).
5. PCB templates for reusing designs. Also new/better dialog for multisection parts in heirarchical designs (which helps to better ensure synchronized hierarchical schematics/layouts).
...various others... you can open the Examples folder for some good examples some of the newest features...and you can look at the documentation for some additional details (All Programs -> National Instruments -> Circuit Design Suite 13.0 -> Documentation -> Circuit Design Suite 13.0 Readme).

What's new in Premiere Elements 9?

In many ways, Premiere Elements 9 may be the best version of the program Adobe has ever produced!
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiereel/
You won’t find a lot of new bells and whistles in this new build. Not a lot of new, obvious features. This time out the emphasis has been on improving performance – and it certainly shows. Although the few new features that have been added are pretty impressive!
Highlights include:
•Mac compatibility. For the first time ever, the entire Elements Suite – Premiere Elements, Photoshop Elements and the Elements Organizer – has been released in Mac as well as Windows versions.
•Improved support for AVCHD video. AVCHD video can now be edited natively in Premiere Elements! That means you don’t have to render the video (if you’re using the correct project preset) on the timeline until you add effects or transitions to it.
•Support for Flip and still camera video. Version 9 includes project presets for Flip video as well as for a number of still camera video formats, including the the Canon EOS series!
•Toggled Timeline track views. Video and audio tracks can be toggled between a full-size view and a compressed, flattened view, making much more efficient use of the timeline’s vertical space.
•Sharper interface. The program’s interface is now much cleaner, with clear, easy-to-read text on its tabs and tools. Additionally, the brightly-colored Organize, Edit, Disc Menu and Share tabs have been replaced with cool, black tabs so that the program looks more like its professional, big brother programs in the Creative Suite.
•Automatic project settings tool. When the first clip you use in your project doesn’t match your project’s settings, the program will warn you of this mismatch and offer to automatically update the project’s presets for you.
•WebDVD output. A new Share option allows you to output and upload your videos as a Web site that operates like a DVD – complete with menu pages and media links.
•Added NewBlue effects. Some great new effects and transitions from NewBlue – including the very exciting Cartoonr effect for making your videos look like cartoons!

What's new in Premiere Elements 11?

Adobe has given the entire Elements suite a major overhaul in version 11. Premiere Elements, Photoshop Elements and the Elements Organizer all have completely redesigned interfaces – bright, uncluttered workspaces with easy-to-read text and tools tucked away until you need them.
But, in addition, Adobe has added some very nice new features:
In Premiere Elements:
64-bit support for Windows 7 and 8 as well as for Mac OSX.
Automatic project set-up, based on the first clip you add to your timeline.
Expanded support for video from portable devices, like iPads and smartphones, as well as new support for AVCHD 1080p.
The old Sceneline has been replaced by Quick view, a full-featured timeline for quickly pulling together video projects.
The Time Remapping effect, which allows you to suddenly shift your video into fast or slow-motion and then back again!
A new Adjustments panel offers access to a number of tools for improving your video’s color and sweetening your audio.
The old Properties panel has been replaced by a new, easier to use, easier to access Applied Effects panel.
A library of FilmLooks that instantly make your videos look like a haunting horror film, a stylish film noir or a sunbleached summer memory.
There’s no longer the need for a second installation to add additional content. The program now downloads additional content, including Movie Menu and InstantMovie templates, automatically as needed.
The Organizer
A redesigned interface that helps you sort your media files by date, place, event and even the people in them.
A more powerful interface for locating your files and filtering your searches.
An improved Media Analyzer that gathers more information more efficiently, and less intrusively, than ever.
Tools for uploading your photos and videos directly to YouTube, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, Photoshop Showcase and Adobe Revel.
For more information on these new features, see Adobe's official product page.

What's new in Premiere Elements 10?

Version 10 of Premiere Elements includes a number of great improvements in performance and stability, including faster project opening, quicker, more responsive performance and better handling of high-def and AVCHD footage.
In addition, the program includes a number of exciting new features:
• The program not only comes in both Mac and PC versions, but includes 64-bit support for Windows 7 64-bit!
• A new Pan & Zoom Tool and workspace makes creating motion paths over photos easier than ever.
• An Auto Vibrance effect intensifies color and contrast in your videos automatically
• A professional-style Color Correction Tool allows you to adjust and intensify colors in your shadows, highlights and mid-tones.
• A tool for sharing your videos directly to Photoshop.com, YouTube, PodBean and Facebook.
• Greatly expanded AVCHD support, including the ability to burn AVCHD to disc, output AVC and MP4 video in a variety of frame rates and resolutions AND Share presets for creating videos for iPads, Vimeo and even Tivo!
For illustrations and detailed discussions of all of these improvements, as well as a new feature list for Photoshop Elements 10, see the "Details" links on this page:
http://Muvipix.com/pe10.php

You should use the project setting for Flip HD 30. You'll never miss those 60p frames (particularly if you're going to display your video on a DVD or online, where you'll not get 60p anyway) -- and you'll always get the best results when you match the CODEC and RESOLUTION, as you'll do with those project settings.

New to Premiere Elements 9 - adding keywords to clips in timeline?

Hello to hopefully my new best friends
I am editing college football highlights. I have been using iMovie for about 3 years, but it lacks certain features that I was told (still hoping!) Premiere Elements 9 has. Anyway -- I am editing from full game videos from an external hard drive. I have imported an mp4 file (full game), dragged it to the timeline, and edited out the plays that I want to keep, then delete the rest of the footage. So, I have lots of short clips on my timeline. Before I begin the "real editing" or adding the transitions, effects, titles, etc., I would like to be able to "tag" each little clip with a keyword, such as "tackle, sack, interception, etc." - so that I can sort them easily. I see that you can add keyword tags in the "Organizer" - but that adds the tag to the "entire clip" - which in my case is a complete football game; not my edited clips. Is there any way to tag my edited clips in the timeline???
Thank you so much in advance for any help you can provide!
Kim

Kim,
I've not done this in PrE, so someone else will have to tell you where my process goes off, or exactly how to easily do it in PrE. In PrPro, I can do exactly as you have done, then create Sub-Clips from each of those segments in my Timeline. This will then place them into a Bin (like a folder that I create) in my Project Panel. I have the availability to use many different Columns there, and can even create them to suit. I can also order those Columns, so that say "Description" is the first Column visible, after the Clip/Sub-Clip's name. Some of the Columns, like Description, are text boxes, and I can easily fill them in with just the type of annotation, that you describe. When working on Projects, similar to yours, I will move Description to the head of the list, with Video Usage, and then Audio Usage next. Other attribute Columns follow along, and are ordered to my preferences.
Sorry that I am much less familiar with PrE, as most of my Projects there are rather simple. Still, I know that PrE offers one the ability to display several text Columns in Project Panel, so that part should work. I am just unsure of the Sub-Clips, so that you can easily see just what you have Cut.
Good luck, and I am sure that others will be along in a bit, and can point you to an exact workflow, that will get you what you want.
Hunt
BTW - by using single words in Descriptions, I can even Sort by that Column. Not sure where the alpha runs out - first letter of first word, or something else?
PS - Welcome to the forum!

Brand New Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Failure

Hi, I recently purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 12 for my new laptop.
It worked fine the first few times but now it cannot get past the 'intro box' where you choose between the organiser / video editor. It is unable to load a new project and it is unable to open an old one; in both cases it simply attempts to load, then doesn't, then returns to the box.
I have tried reinstalling but the same problem continues. I have checked the recently installed programs list and cannot find anything missing / conflicting (Adobe App Manager is still installed). My computer (32gb Windows 7) is more than powerful enough to operate this program. I cannot find any other postings in the forums with pertain to this exact problem but I sure would appreciate a speedy response from Adobe as I purchased this literally less than 2 weeks ago.
Yours sincerely,
Humphrey

Can anyone tell me why my brand new program, Premiere Elements 13, will not open?

I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 last night and it was working. This morning I tried to open the program to play with it some more and it won't open. Any suggestions?

What is the oldest Premiere Elements version that will run on Windows 7 64 bit?

I am a teacher who recently upgraded to Win 7 much to my irritation.
I have taught a junior high class teaching Premiere Elements 3 until this year. It crashes with the Windows 7 64 bit system. I am heart sick. We cannot afford a lot of new "stuff". So, do you know which of the older Premiere Elements versions will function correctly on these machines.
Thanks,
ACP

You should be able in install and run Premiere Elements 4 on Windows 7 64 bit without issue.
The question is where to find older versions in stock somewhere. If you purchase from a private source, you
may get involved with the Adobe Licensing Transferring matter.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/transfer-product-license.html
When you tried to use Premiere Elements 3 on Windows 7 64 bit, did you also try to install its 3.0.2 Update along with it?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3565
Did your Windows 7 64 bit arrive at a time when Microsoft was still supporting Windows XP Mode? If so, you could install Premiere Elements 3
in the Windows XP Mode of Windows 7 64 bit to have access to it in Windows 7 64 bit workspace. (The Windows XP Mode is a virtual Windows XP Professional
SP3 32 bit).
Please review and consider.

What's up with Premiere Elements 8.0?

Hi Adobe fans,
I just got my Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0 last week and I've been trying to get rid of this blue tint that covers every single type of imported media. The wierd thing is that it only appears when I import a picture and a media. As you can see, this makes Adobe Premiere completely useless, and until I fix it I can't use the software.
Kerim

We'll need more information about your PC, clips and project setting. Work through these basics for us:
Install all Windows Updates.
Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.8 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
Run Disk Cleanup.
Run Defragmenter.
Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
Use the GSpot Codec Information Utility to analyse the file and post screen image.
Post back here with the necessary information described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started
An out-of-date QuickTime version is a primary cause of colour tints but for best performance you should work through all of the above.
Cheers,

What is new in Photoshop elements organizer

Are there any changes to the photoshop elements organizer from version 8 to 9

I agree. In some ways it is a real step backward. I would not recommend "upgrading" to
PSE9 based on one day of working with it. Lost the ability to see all files in folder view and it is
EXTREMELY SLOW.
I really wish I hadn't changed to PSE9 and converted my catalog, which it didn't fully convert properly.
Stay away from this upgrade!

Premiere Elements 8 Initial Impressions

Premiere Elements 8 First Look: Part 1.
Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8 are now installed on my Windows XP SP3 with about available 1 GB RAM and 70 GB free hard drive space and the virtual memory controlled by the operating system…not great for a heavy duty project, but adequate to overview the programs.
1. Download & Installation. Both programs took about 3 ½ hours to download, using high speed DSL. Premiere Elements 8 downloaded and installed without problems. Installation went much quicker. But, Photoshop Elements 8 download did present challenges, first, it kept downloading Premiere Elements 8 instead of Photoshop Elements 8. Finally in the early hours of the morning, the download from the Adobe site was named Photoshop Elements 8. Great, except, once downloaded it would not launch. The launcher did not know what to do with the .7z file. Download and use of WinZip took care of that. My default browser Mozilla Firefox was worthless for the download of either Photoshop Elements 8 or Premiere Elements 8, but no problems with my Internet Explorer 6. I had this same problem with the Photoshop Elements 7/Premiere Elements 7 downloads last year.
2. Premiere Elements 8
a. Organizer. I would take exception to Steve Grisetti’s picture of the Organizer in “What’s new in Premiere Elements 8?”, but maybe I was overly optimistic by “The most visible change to version 8 is that the Organizer is no longer a sub-program of Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements. It now lives as its own, separate, pretty much independent program – behaving more than ever like its professional big brother, Adobe Bridge.” He went on to say “In version 8, both programs have equal access to a single, full-featured Organizer.”
Here is my dilemma for some who want a separate video and photo catalog. If you had Photoshop Elements 7/Premiere Elements 7, you could create additional catalogs in Photoshop Elements 7. Premiere Elements 7 could use one of these catalogs, but could not create new catalogs. So then, you could have a photo catalog displaying in the Photoshop Elements 7 Organizer and a video catalog displaying when you opened Premiere Elements 7. You cannot do that anymore, and File Menu/Catalog is gone in Premiere Elements 8. You still cannot create catalogs in Premiere Elements 8, so, if you just have Premiere Elements 8, you have ONE catalog. If you have Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8, you can create additional catalogs in Photoshop Elements 8 that can be used in Premiere Elements 8, but these programs will display the same ONE catalog.
b. Project Presets. The “New Preset” button is gone. The categories of the presets for NTSC and PAL remain the same: AVCHD, DV, “Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder”, HDV. However, two choices have been added to the “Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder” categories. Now we have HD 1080i30, HD 1080i30 (60i), Standard, and Widescreen. Here I have a problem reconciling the names and the descriptions. It was my understanding, in Premiere Elements 7 for standard and widescreen in this category, this preset category reverses the Fields: from Upper Field First to Lower Field First in Premiere Elements edits. So, now with these new choices described as follows:
HD 1080i30: 1920 x 1080i; pixel aspect ratio = square pixels (1.0); camcorders like JVC GZ-HD7; 16:9 interlaced HD video at 29:97 frames per second.
HD 1080i30 (60i): HD video from 1440 x 1080i camcorders; 16:9 interlaced HD video at 29:97 frames per second HDV 1080i Anamorphic.
When thinking HD 1080i30 preset….the JVC camcorder captures to a progressive sensor, assumed at 30 frames per second, and can record to it’s built in hard drive as 1920 x 1080i with 30 frames per second each frame with 2 fields. So, what prevents us from calling this preset HD 1080i30 (30p) Square Pixel?
When thinking HD 1080i30 (60i))…the camcorder involved captures to an interlaced sensor at 60 fields per second, and can record to it media as 1440 x 1080 with 30 frames per second, using a HD Anamorphic. So, what prevents us from calling this preset HD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic?
When I start comparing preset choices, the only reason for using these “Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder” new choices appears to be, like for standard and widescreen, to have the Fields reversed. Do you agree? Any comments on the nomenclature for these new preset choices?
3. Adobe Folder, folders and files
If you go to the default location of the Adobe Folder (My Documents\Premiere Elements\8.0), there are some differences there:
For Premiere Elements 7 and earlier versions there were:
Adobe Premiere Elements Previews Folder
Encoded Files Folder
Media Cache Folder that piled up with conformed audio files (.cfa and .pek)
Project Prel file
Styles Folder
And sometimes 2 .log files
Now in Premiere Elements 8, the Media Cache Folder is gone and we have the arrangement:
Adobe Premiere Elements Previews Folder
CA Object Track Results
Encoded Files
Layouts
Styles Folder
(You no longer see the endless conforming of DVD Menus (not even used) at the beginning of the project. But, I am still trying to figure out what they did with the conformed audio files (.cfa and .pek). More on that next time, along with Premiere Elements 8 Exports as well as Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Elements 8 intergration.
ATR

I have not gotten to Part 3 yet. This is an add on to the last add on.
I tried to find the Premiere Elements 8 Read Me file since those Read Me files usually contain "Known Bug Messages". I could not find that Adobe had put it online, but I did dig it out of the try out download folder. Here is the excerpt on Premiere Elements 8 known bugs/issues:
Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0 Known Issues
Importing Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 and 4.0 Projects
• Effect keyframes in Premiere elements 3.0 projects may not import correctly
Capturing and Importing Video
DV Device control will be disabled and capture will not proceed normally if sound card is not present or offline.
·         If capture is interrupted by a system event such as switching users, locking the system, or the screensaver, the duration of the captured file will be much shorter than expected. It is recommended to disable the screensaver before starting capture, and to avoid any actions that may interfere with the capture.
·         For live capture from DV camcorders, you must first disable scene detect.
·         When importing some Flash files a “Macromedia Flash Player security" message reading “Flash player has stopped potentially unsafe operation" may appear. Click “OK”, and the file will import normally.
·         When capturing form HDV camcorders you may see interlace lines in the preview window, The interlace lines do not appear in the captured video
·         Divx files may not be imported properly and sometimes import only audio or video part of it
·         After completing time-lapse capture, it may take some time for the organizer to update and display the thumbnails for the captured files. Still images captured using Stop Motion are not added to the organizer.
·         Importing media from some devices requires that the drivers provided with devices are installed
·         Stop Motion capture is not supported for HDV camcorders.
Organizer
•       When reconnecting missing media, each grouped scene must be reconnected individually
Edit
·         If issues are seen with color in preview, switch to CPU playback mode by un-checking “Enable GPU Playback” checkbox in Edit>preferences>General and restart application after saving your project.
·         Generation of thumbnails for DVD scene menus may take longer than expected when using HDV content.
·         Organizer may exhibit performance issues with large catalogs (5000-10,000 files )
·         With some GPU cards enabling “Accelerated GPU Effects” may cause the preview to be zoomed in.
·         Voice over narration may not be recorded using a mono USB microphone
·         When previewing audio mixes, pops may be heard as the CTI passes form one clip to the next. These pops will not appear in your exported movie
Audio mixer sliders may become “sticky” when mixing clips that have been time stretched
·         [Japanese & Chinese Simplified SPECIFIC] When application is installed to path that contains double byte characters path, GPU effects/transition will not function.
·         [Japanese SPECIFIC] Inputting ¥ symbol in Menu templates produces a backslash ( \ )
Photoshop Elements Integration
• In Photoshop Elements, choosing “Edit in Adobe Premiere Elements” may not bring the Adobe Premiere Elements window to the foreground.
• If a Photoshop Elements slideshow is sent to Adobe Premiere Elements, further edits in Photoshop Elements will not be reflected in Adobe Premiere Elements.
• Images saved in Photoshop Elements in BMP mode using the Advanced Settings cannot be imported into Adobe Premiere Elements. This includes images created using Adobe Premiere Elements Freeze Frame function and sent to Photoshop Elements for editing. If the image is saved using Photoshop Elements Advanced Settings, it cannot be returned to Adobe Premiere Elements, and as result, the original, unedited Freeze Frame image will be used.
• Send to Premiere Elements 8.0 will not work from older versions of Photoshop Elements
Exporting Movies
• Export of movies to the root directory of any drive (e.g. D:\) may fail.
• When exporting movies over one hour to MPEG2 format, the render dialog may continue to be displayed for a period of time after the render progress bar appears to have completed. Rendering is still occurring until the render dialog boxes closes. Clicking Cancel before the render dialog box closes will interrupt this process, and your export file will not be created
• For play back on a PSP, movies must include both audio and video. Movies exported with video only or audio only will not play back on the PSP.
• Archival of projects with Type 1 DV-AVI files is not supported.
• If standard definition menu templates are used when burning to Bluray, menu images s will appear of low quality
• When attempting to burn a Bluray disc to a previously burned disc, you will see an error message indicating that the disc is incompatible, instead of an error message indicating the disc is full.
• Movies exported in H.264 format may have a few white frames added to the end
• Movies exported in MPEG2 format may be a few frames shorter than the original movie
This seems to answer my question about Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Element 8 integration regarding slideshows, but may be of more widespread interest to others for the other "known bugs" cited by Adobe.

What's new in version 7?

Version 7 is less an overhaul of version 4 than it is a refinement of it. The interface itself is virtually unchanged, although its task-directed system of tabs and buttons is even more intuitive. Themes, title templates and DVD and BluRay templates also look better than ever.
(By the way, just as an FYI, there were no versions 5 or 6 of Premiere Elements. It's just that Premiere Elements is being increasingly bundled with Photoshop Elements, which was leading it by a few versions. Rather than have different versions of each in the bundle, Adobe chose simply to market them as an "Elements suite", version 7.)
Several new features are worth noting:
The ability download and edit video from AVCHD camcorders
A more full-featured Organizer, featuring tools, including SmartDetect, for adding tags and other metadata to media files
InstantMovie tool for interfacing with Movie Themes
The Timeline and Sceneline have been slightly redesigned to include easier access to some of the programs power tools for mixing audio, detecting beats in music and controlling playback speed of clips
Integrated SmartSound Quicktracks, for creating custom music tracks based on the criteria (length, style, etc.) you provide
Videomerge, a new tool that makes applying chroma key effects virtually automatic
Live links to Photoshop.com, a site for displaying your photos and video as well as for accessing additional effects, templates and transitions for Premiere Elements
Live links to the Inspiration Browser, a site which offers free tips and tutorials for more effectively using the program
For a more detailed discussion of these new features as well as illustrations of the new interface, see my article for http://www.muvipix.com, "What's New in Premiere Elements 7":

I would like to read your article, but it requires downloading and installing a 41MB file, Adobe Acrobat Reader? I use Foxit, and that is the first time I haven't been able to view anything requiring Adobe Reader or it's plug in for Mozilla. Any ideas?
Thanks
