When I insert photos into Premiere Elements timeline they become pixilated.  Has anyone a remedy?

The photos I insert into the timeline in Elements become pixilated.  They looked fine in the organiser.  Has anyone a remedy to this problem please?

Judie Sutton
Thanks for the additional information.
If rendering the Timeline content of those photos does not resolve the photo pixelation issue as per SG's question, then please read on.
a. Do you have a mixed Timeline of photos and video? If so, what is the format of the video and how many of these
2799 x 3500 photos are included? Do you get photo pixelation whether you have 1 or many of these photos on the Timeline?
b. What happens to the Edit area monitor view of one of these photos if you right click the Edit area monitor, select Playback Quality, and then compare the choices of Automatic vs Highest Quality? If you right click the Edit area monitor and select Magnification, do you find the Magnification set at the default "Fit"?
c. Have the photos been edited in Photoshop before being imported in Premiere Elements. If so, what was the extent of the Photoshop editing including effects applied and color profile?
More later depending on your results and follow up.
Thanks.

  • When I place photos in InDesign from Photoshop they become grainy.

    I have been having issues placing photos of mine that have been worked on in photoshop in indesign.  The files when imported appear grainy in Indesign even though they are above the required resolution/image size for the document I am working on,  and I have adjusted the viewing quality accordingly.  This happens regardless of how I save the file in photoshop (.jpg, .psd, .tiff, ect...).  I have never had this problem before and am unsure how to keep working from here.
    Thanks

    I would also try: quit InDesign and relaunch it (to clear memory weirdness), then create a new document and place the image. Make sure you choose view > display performance > high quality display. Zoom in. Switch back to Photoshop and check the image there. If it looks noticeably different then it's possible that ID's preferences are corrupted or something else has gone wrong. I have noticed that sometimes InDesign can be slow to preview high-res images, especially very large ones, so give it 20 or 30 seconds if need be.

  • I have trouble in moving photos into Premier Elements 9

    I am using Premiere Elements 9 on a IMac with 24ins screen and the latest operating system.Looking at my photos in Organiser or Photoshop Elements 9 they are of the original quality ,but when I import photos into Premiere Elements they are greatly degraded.I have tried deleting the programe and reinstalling twice,I have the programme on the original DVDs. Can anyone help.

    Have a look at my FAQ to the right of this forum.

    As I explain in greater detail in my books, video is of a much lower resolution than most photos. So it doesn't matter how large the photo you drop into a video editor, you get roughly the equivalent of 640x480. That's video resolution. (If you're using hi-def, you get more -- but still nowhere near what you get in print photos.)
    Using photos that are larger than 1000x750 pixels, then, not only overloads the program, but it's usually a waste of time too (since they take longer to render). You'll still only get 640x480 pixels (actually 720x480 non-square pixels) when it's converted to video.
    Also remember to render your timeline (press Enter) every time you add a photo to it or there is a red line above your clips. When this red line turns green, you'll see a much better representation of what your final output will look like rather than a low-rez soft render.

  • CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4

    CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4 they only appear in the monitor when the play button is activated. The other clips appear without a problem. I noticed that the same situation arises when I dynamically link to Encore CS4. What am I doing wrong?

    Thank you Ann. But the problem is when switched on the AE clips on the timeline are only viewable when I start the project (ie press the space bar) and as it also doesn’t appear in Encore I am afraid to spend a great deal of time creating a DVD with these clips not appearing. Any advice?
    Regards and again many thanks

    Hi Steve,
    After reading everybody’s responses I am feeling a little out of my depth.  Being new to this I am having difficulty in understanding a lot of the information given to me and also in the information you require from me.  It appears that one thing I should never do is mix film from two different cameras.  I would really like to fix this one particular clip though as it holds an interview that was taken when leaving Coober Pedy and something that I don’t want to lose.
    I have today done some research on the camera that took the offending video clip.   It was a Samsung S85 and according to the Samsung website it uses MJPEG video format.

  • Can't find some albums when trying to insert photos into other programs

    I am having trouble finding albums (and thus pictures) when trying to insert photos into a Word document or upload to mySpace/ facebook etc.
    After choosing 'insert<picture<from file<pictures<iPhoto Library' , I have the option of looking into the year-month-date or by album. Since I have a better memory of the 50+ albums I have created rather than their dates, I choose "Albums". This list only contains about half of my albums (with folder icons) and it appears outdated...ie one of the albums no longer exists in iPhoto and has been changed to a folders with several albums in it.
    I'm wondering why this is happening or how i can update the album list. I realize i could use the year-month-day thing but that is too frustrating.

    Hi chantreya,
    iPhoto 5 now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
    If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
    There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
    Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
    If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
    For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
    You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
    This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
    In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
    Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
    Do this for each album.
    Close iPhoto.
    Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
    In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
    Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
    Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
    Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
    I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
    One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".

    What is the file extension of this zipped folder.....zip or 7-Zip or something else?
    If you have a ordinary .zip folder with a .jpeg photo inside it, you should be able to right click the zipped folder, select Extract All from drop down list, and then follow the instructions to get the unzipped folder that you open by double clicking it in order to see and use the photo.
    Also, if this photo was edited in Photoshop and has a CMYK color profile, you will not be able to open it in Premiere Elements (any version).
    Keep away from the Adobe Reader if all that you have is a zipped folder.
    We will be watching for your progress.

  • How to download a DVD movie into Premiere Elements 12 using my MacBook Pro so I can edit the video?

    How to download a DVD movie into Premiere Elements 12 using my MacBook Pro so I can edit the video?

    Bob Perez
    Please review and consider the following which works for me in Premiere Elements 12 Window 64 bit.
    From what you wrote, I suspect that you have DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc. For now I will assume that you are working in a NTSC setup.
    Premiere Elements DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc is characterized as interlaced video with field order lower (bottom) field first. I am not sure how your DVD-VIDEO on DVD was produced - upper (top) field first or lower (bottom) field first. We may have to apply Field Option Reverse Field Dominance at the Timeline level, but for now let us put that aside for a later time.
    Insert your DVD disc in the DVD burner tray.
    Open Premiere Elements to the Expert workspace and set the project preset manually for NTSC DV Widescreen. How to details for manual project preset setting are found
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
    Then, Add Media/DVD camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer.
    The video files from the DVD-VIDEO will be the larger size files and will probably start with VTS_01_1.VOB.
    In the Video Importer designate the save location for video file VOB(s) and select Add to Timeline and hit Get Media
    to put the files on the Timeline for editing.
    If you have more than one DVD disc to "rip", please set up the Video Importer Save In location so that the save in location has a folder for each disc. The fact that all DVDs have the same VTS_01_1.VOB name etc will cause problems if you saved all to the same place as individual files.
    Determine how that works for you in your Mac computer environment. We will be watching for your progress.
    Others may tell you that you need to convert the VOB to another format before import into Premiere Elements. That is no necessary for Premiere Elements.
    Thank you.

  • Correcting blurred photos in premiere elements 11

    I have checked several solutions to correcting blurred photos in premiere elements 11.  Most of them turn out to be different versions and does not help me.   I have had: in expert mode select photo, filter-other-high pass.  I tried this and doesnt work.  I believe if this is the way to correct blurred photos, I am missing a step somewhere.  I have gone to enhance-adjust sharpness or unsharp.   I must be doing something wrong. or can you correct blurred photo?

    j strengh
    What is the situation - I do not really see the typical 720 x 480 resolution vs HD resolution type of question. I am seeing it as a photo editing (sharpening) question which may or may not be related to further use of these photos in Premiere Elements 11.
    Which of the following is applicable to your situation..
    a. You have great looking photos saved on the computer hard drive, but, after you import them into Premiere Elements, they look blurry on the Timeline and you want to try to correct that
    or
    b. You have great looking photos, but, after you import them into Premiere Elements and burn them to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, the photos are blurry in the playback of the DVD-VIDEO with your TV's DV player
    or
    c. None of the above, rather you are trying to improve the sharpness of your photos in general using Photoshop Elements Full Editor/Filter Menu/Other/High Pass. If so, have you tried the Unsharp Mask under the Enhance Menu?
    Consider the distinction between sharpening an image (contrast changes) and trying to correct a bad blur  in the original.
    From all that you have written, I suspect that this involves "c" and how to get the best results for sharpening an image in Photoshop Elements. If that is the case, you might seek input from the Photoshop Elements Forum here on that. Another possibility is that you may be creating pixelation in your images if you are up-sizing your images in the search for higher resolution and better quality.
    Please give as much more detail to make sure that your question and its answer can be targeted correctly.
    Please do not forget the follow up which is the key to success.
    Thank you.

  • Unable to import .mp4/.ts into Premiere Elements 3.0

    I've captured footage from my PlayStation 3 using this device: http://gamerzone.avermedia.com/game_capture/live_gamer_portable
    The device saves the footage in a .ts file.
    I've tried to get information on the file using a program. If there's a better way to do it, please let me know:
    When I try to import the file into Premiere Elements 3.0, I get an error message: "File format not supported/One of the necessary components may not have been installed."
    I've converted the file into an mp4 format with this program: http://ftp2.avermedia.com/C875/C875_utility_v1.0.0.9_20131029.zip
    Information on the file:
    But this did not solve the problem.
    Ideally, I would like to avoid converting the video file, if that would take up a lot of time. If I can just upgrade Premiere Elements, that would be the most ideal solution.
    Please let me know if any additional information is needed.

    I am able to import a .ts file into Premiere Elements 10, 11, and 12 Windows 7 64 bit.
    But, not so, for Premiere Elements 4, 7, 8, and 9.
    And, the reason why your .mp4 conversion did not work would be in accord with the fact that you used AVCHD as the video compression, and AVCHD video compression was not supported by Premiere Elements until version 7.
    If you do decide to move to version 12, please note that there is a dramatic difference in workspace between 3 and 12. So, go the free tryout of 12 before any purchase.
    You could try to convert the .ts to H.264.mp4 and not AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264).mp4 and see if that works for you.

  • I am recording from my computer screen with an elgato game capture card.  Why is the video blurry when I import it to Premiere elements?

    I am recording my computer screen with an elgato game capture card.  When I play the unedited footage on my own computer, it is clear and crisp.  When I import the footage into premiere elements, it becomes blurry.  It becomes even blurrier when I save the edited video.  How do I keep the video clear?  How do I fix it?

    Betharoo
    Thanks for the reply.
    Please check out John T. Smith's information.
    At this point, if you could tell us the file extension of the file involved, that would give us a start while you are
    gathering the rest of the details.
    You can easily get some information for us from Properties for your imported video that is blurry in the Editor.
    1. Click on Expert to get into the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 13
    2. If you have not already, import your file into the program using Add Media/Files & Folder/Project Assets.
    3. Open Project Assets to see a thumbnail for the video that you just imported. Right click that thumbnail,
    and select and click on Properties from the menu that opens.
    4. Tell us what is listed there is Properties - it should look something like this one which is specific for one of my wmv files.
    Your information will be specific to the file that you right clicked in your Project Assets.
    From what you have written so far, yours should show
    Image Size 1920 x 1080
    Frame Rate either 59.94 or 60
    Also, please go to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General, and tell us what you see for
    Editing Mode
    Timebase
    Frame Size
    Pixel Aspect Ratio
    even if the fields look grayed out.
    Your project settings may be contributing your Edit area previewing problems.
    All of the above will keep us moving forward in the troubleshooting.

  • SWF into Premiere Elements

    My Coworker has Premiere Elements 7.0 on a Windows XP machine. I have Premiere Elements 9.0 on a Windows 7 machine.  We are working with a SWF file that another coworker created in JING. My coworker can import the SWF into Premiere Elements 7 and produce it as an WMV or as an FLV and it works fine.  When I import the SWF into Premiere Elements 9, I get a solid black image. Any ideas?

    Interesting, and especially as FLV (some CODEC's) support was not added until about CS 4.2, the second update to CS 4. Still, most PrPro users cannot get SWF's to Import and edit.
    Until CS 4, one could use the Moyea Premiere FLV Importer plug-in, but things changed with the release of CS 4.0.0. Moyea was working on updating their plug-in, until Adobe added some FLV support to their second update, and then Moyea dropped that project.
    The SWF wrapper has always been the problem, and when one stripped out the FLV from that wrapper in Flash Pro, or similar, it was usually then, that they could Import the FLV component, though not for all CODEC's.
    Good luck,

  • Importing project files into Premiere Elements 7

    I have created a new project, imported several video clips and then created a video. It was only at the point of creating the video that I reliased that I had not created the project with the correct settings.
    Although the video looked fine in the editing window, the final video had black bars at the sides, and above above and below the video, and fairly think black bars. I've tried exporting as different formats, and changing the aspect ratio, but this has not helped. I've attached a jpeg of what the video looks like in Quicktime.
    Other video editing software I have used, has the ability to change the project settings after it has been created, and give a warning to the user about possible problems they may encounter by doing so.
    This does not appear to be the case with Adobe Premiere Elements 7, and it is extremely frustrating!!
    One thing which appears to be possible with Premiere Pro, and was also available on other editing software I have used, is the ability to import projects.
    So... does anyone know if it is possible to import a Premiere Elements 7 project file into Premiere Elements 7? The aim here is to create a project with the correct settings, and then import the existing project file into the timeline.
    I've tried hacking the project file, which has improved the video slightly, but still not what I was expecting.
    Cheers
    Paul

    This problem should have been picked up by Adobe's test analyst during testing of the product.
    I am sorry, but I am not following you on this. There are Presets to match many media types. I am not at all sure how Adobe could anticipate that a user would choose the wrong one.
    As I said, PrPro CS4 will both allow you to Import your .PREL (with the caveats mentioned), and work on the Project with Sequence settings to match. Unfortunately, PrE is a much less sophisticated and expensive program, than is PrPro CS4.
    I'd be happy to Import your file, in PrPro with the proper Presets, but the rub would be that PrE cannot Open .PRPROJ files, so you still could not edit it.
    Sorry, but the first rule of any NLE is to establish Presets that match one's Assets. PrPro CS4 (not before that version) allows one to cover their mistakes a bit, but there is still some work getting the improperly set Sequence's material into a new, properly set Sequence.
    If you have access to PrPro CS4, and can finish your Project there, that would be the best. Next would be to create a New Project with the proper Presets and chalk up the lost time as a learning experience.
    Sorry ot bear the bad news.
    Good luck,

  • Problem importing some .MOV files into Premiere Elements 11

    Hello,
    I am trying to import film footage into Premiere Elements 11 and am coming across a rather confusing problem. All of the footage is in .mov format and all of it was taken on the same device on the same day with the same settings.
    When I try to import the footage, some files import ok, others will not import at all and I get a message saying 'The importer reported a generic error'. It seems very odd to me that some .MOV files are OK and others are not.
    This same footage can easily be imported into Premiere Elements 10 and into Windows Movie Maker - which makes me think the issue is with Premiere Elements 11.
    Does anyone have any ideas on this?
    Thanks

    What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it? Did you use Premiere Elements to get the video from the camcorder to your computer?
    Have you ensured you have the latest version of Quicktime installed on your computer?

  • Using iMovie 11 and can't insert photos into story line?

    I just got IMovie 11 and the browsers won't highlight when trying to create a movie.  I can't insert photos into the storyline

    If I had to guess, and this merely based on reading iMovie Discussion Group threads, I would say sometimes Themes/Trailers/Animated Titles have problems. Not to say they cannot be used, but they can be the source of crashes and other bad behavior if something gets corrupted in them. Animated titles (in a regular iMovie Project) can cause instability and crashes. So I would say, some of those Themes may not be reliable and have pieces or parts built into the template that are causing this issue.
    If you wanted to try doing a bit of preventive maintenance try this:
    Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and launch this program
    Click on the Repair button under Disk Permissions and let it run until it finishes. Reboot the Mac, and open iMovie see if you get any different behavior out of iMovie with one of those failed Project Theme movies if you have one still available to open and look at. I won't say this is going to fix it, but it's sometimes can help. Also there's an iMovie preferences file that can get corrupted and lead to problems. To find the iMovie prefs:
    Go to the Desktop look for the Go Menu at the top menu bar. Hold down the Option key and click on the Go menu. Click on Library > Preferences.
    In the list of files there are: com.apple.iMovieApp.plist and also com.apple.iApps.plist
    Drag both of those to the trash and relaunch iMovie. See if that preference file deletion helps.
