Why does premiere elements 8 change a 29.97 fps to a 25 when conforming?

I have a project setting of NTSC HDV 1440 x 1080 with a frame rate of 29.97.  when i import video, it conforms and indexes it and then suddenly the frame rate is no longer 29.97 but 25?  why does it do this?

In your original thread, please see my latest reply and some mini checks to detemine the cause of what you are describing for file frame rate being converted from 29.97 to 25 by project conforming.
Thanks.

  • Why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor -- it is huge and unusable

    why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor? -- it is huge and unusable

    Many mysteries...
    Which is your OS version ?
    Your screen is 1920 by 1080 pixels.
    The problem appeared after having worked normally.
    When we select a picture from the organizer (album) and click on the edit button.  The editor software changes the entire computer resolution from 1920 x 1080 to   640 x 480 (very unusable).
    That's not clear for me: did you click on the 'Edit' button on the bottom right part of the organizer, or did you use the menu or the right click popup menu to open the editor? In the second case, you are in the editor workspace.
    We tried right clicking on the Elements 13 icon, select properties and under compatibility we made sure that "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution" was de-selected, and it was.    Cannot find any properties window for the editor?  
    The editor has its properties in the 'Edit/preferences' menu, but there is nothing about resolution there.
    Just to be sure : when you are in the organizer with the left 'Folders' panel shown, you highlight one of those pictures to edit. Then you right click and choose to "go to folder". Do the images are shown as 'offline' ? If that is the case, the original are on an external drive which is not connected, and what you are seeing is a 'preview' copy on your computer with 640 x 480 resolution.

    Why does premiere elements 8 say I need the right 'codec' when trying to open hdd video?  where can I find this codec?

    hey, I'm not sure if I've set it up for hard drive video.  When I

  • Why does Premiere Elements 10 crash when I select transitions.

    Any time I try to select the transition tool the program crashes. Everything else seems to work just fine. I'm working in windows 7.

    MP!
    Thanks for the reply. From your description, it would appear that all you have to do is click on the Transition Tab and the program freezes/crashes.
    You do not even have to select a transition.
    If your video card/graphics card driver version is up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card, the card is not NVIDIA GeForce, and the problem is present in all projects, then
    1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    10.0
    and in the 10.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 10.0 Folder in which
    the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that
    you can see the complete path cited.
    2. If "1" does not resolve the problem, then go for
    Uninstall the usual Control Panel way
    free ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts)
    CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    Reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Any questions or need clarification on the above, please let us know.

  • Why does Premiere Elements 8 not start correctly?

    I have a problem with Premiere Elements 8, using PC, Windows 8.1. Starting the program I can start a new project and save it. After this the menue appears but the working area is grey. There is no option to use any point of the menue beside starting a new project but this doesn´t help. New start of the pc did not chance anything. I uninstalled the program and installed it again. The problem is still there. In the past I used the program without any problem. Mc Afee is new installed, this is the only chance beside updates of Windows, they are automatically installed. Can anybody help me?

    maria
    If you have not already, please consider...just in case message, you need not reply
    Before you make any decisions on the fate of Premiere Elements 8, please evaluate it as the 8.0.1 Update which can be obtained from Adobe using the following link
    Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.1 update
    For reasons unknown to users, Adobe does not place a "8.0.1" in the description of the program once the 8.0.1 update is installed.
    I guess we get our OK immediately after installation with a update installed successfully message. And that is that.
    Two possible signs
    1. If the automatic Background Rendering in preferences was enabled before 8.0.1, it is disabled after 8.0.1.
    2. There is one file in the program files on the hard drive that, as I recall, may be new or renamed.
    For me, that update (plus shutting off the AutoAnalzyer feature in Elements Organizer) made the difference between usable versus
    unusable version 8 program.

  • Why does Premiere Elements 9 keep crashing during basic editing?

    Recently purchased Premiere Elements 9 to do some reasonably simple editing combining videos and photographs. After about 2mins to 10mins of using the software it unexpectedly crashes for no apparent reason. I have only ever had 2 or 3 layers in the video and often when I go to view a preview (but not exclusive to this) it shuts down. Sometimes its when I am manipulating text or trying to add effects. I'm using a brand new iMac and the only other programmes I am running concurrently are Safari and Photoshop although I have tried it with no other programmes running and it still happens. I've added details below of the processor and graphics card I am running to see if there are clues there. I get an error report but its a bit large to paste here although if anyone wants to take a look it would be much appreciated!

    Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated.

    Thank you for the clarification. Titles should not be an issue at all. You are correct,they are an intrensic part of PrE, and should cause no issues.
    I think that Neale's link will be useful. A lot of that material should be X-platform, but you will see some that is Windows-specific, especially as PrE was not X-platform, until PrE 9, and some of the suggestions, while still applicable, were when the program was only on the PC. Also, I gathered up some of it, and have to admit that I am a Mac-illiterate.
    Something is definitely wrong with your PrE 9.0, with your system, or with its setup. Steve Grisetti, our MOD here, uses PrE 9.0 on an iMac, that is not a powerhouse computer, and has had few issues. I'd like to hear his comments, as he is X-platform, and many of us are only PC-guys. It's not that we do not want to help, as we do, it's just that many of us do not know the ins-and-outs that might be specific to the Mac.
    Now, aspects of performance, such as the nVidia, or ATI video drivers, updating QT and updating PrE are not platform-specific, and are places to look first.
    Also, when PrE crashes, do you get any error messages? I can tell you where to look for OS errors and warnings on a PC, but am lost on the Mac. There has to be some process logging function in OSX, like Event Viewer in Windows. It basically logs every call to every service, program, or process, and monitors the response. When things do not go, as they should, a warning, or error message is written to Event Viewer. Some of those are just cryptic code, and meaningless to even a Windows engineer, but some will have real, useful data, and the best will have links to say the MS Web site, or maybe to a driver mfgr. with tips on what went wrong, and best of all, what to do about it. Unfortunately, I cannot even begin to tell you where to look on a Mac.
    One other potential concern would be the amount of free space on your HDD's. PrE creates very large working files, and needs a lot of real estate, just to work. How much free space do you have on each of your HDD?
    Sorry to just be thinking out loud here, and wish that I had some wonderful, and useful insight.
    Good luck,

  • Why does Premiere Elements 12 not react, by trying to start movie over the timeline?

    I am using Premiere 12 Elements. Sometimes it happens, today again, that Premiere does not react anymore. It does not crash, I can add Effects oder cut the film, but I can not start the movie on the timeline.
    I tried to empty the cache and sometime it helps. But it can be, that it was only accedentely, that it worked then.
    My Computerconfig:
    Intel I7 Prozessor, 8 GB RAM, 2 Gigabyte HD, Win 8.1 64 bit, AMD Radeon HD5700
    I am happy for every answer, that helps.
    Thank you

    Are you working from the 12.1 Update of 12? If not, please do so using an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
    I have the actual Update on the Computer. After I installed it about two month ago, I updated it over th Updatebutton and Premiere says to me, that I have the latest Version. My Version is 12.1 (620140 225.12.1.620828).
    What is the size of the project when the Timeline playback is not possible? Is this event associated with any particular
    added effect, title creation, or video or audio transition placement?
    What do you mean with the size of the project? If you mean the size of the videoscreensize, I can give the information, that it is a Full HD Video.
    If you mean the size of the Projectdata, it is 994 Kb.
    In this project a keymask (4 points) is used, that a video from another track is visible with the mainvideo on Track one. And there are two faders in the video, thats all. No titles and so on.
    Where are the Scratch Disks directed and how much free hard drive space is at that location?
    Did you install the program to the default Local Disk C?
    Do you mean with Scratchdisks the path to the Cache? If so, I tried different pathes. On both Disks are 700 GB free space, butit did not make a difference. I emptied the cache, schanged the pathes, emptied again, but the result was the same. No reaction.
    I installed Premiere into the default given path during the installation. And that was c:\Program Files (x86).
    Video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    For Device Manager/Display Adapters, is AMD Radeon HD5700 the only listing?
    Yes, the Videocard is up tp date, I compared my driver Version with the Version on the Website. It is the same . And there is only one Graphic Display in the Device Manager.
    When this event happens, how are you getting out of it so that you can move on in that opened project?
    I can use the program normal anyway. I can do everything I like, but I can not start the Video over the timeline. Even if I stop the program by leaving it over the regular menu, and doing a restart of the whole computer, the result is the same. The software runs, it loads all the sourcefiles, they are placed on the tmeline and I can do everthing, but not start the video on the timeline.

  • Why does Premiere Elements 11 continually "conform" my audio?

    I have a Hauppauge TV tuner in my computer that allows me to record TV shows off air.  I have not had a problem with creating projects using shows recorded from cable, but when I attempt to use a show recorded from an antenna, the video clips in continuous "conforming audio" mode.  The Hauppauge software writes the output file as a .ts file.  Gspot gives no information on the audio codec used.  However, the software includes an mpeg transcoder.  Gspot reports a six-channel AC3 audio track.  When I add either the .ts or .mpg file to the project, audio plays just fine, although the "conforming" progress bar is displayed as soon as I attempt to playback the clip.  Playback is normal until I stop playback and restart, then no audio.  I can still see the audio tracks with varying amplitude, just no sound.  After the progress bar hits 100% and disappears, I can play the clip with audio, but as soon as I do, the "conforming audio" progress bar reappears and the same thing happens all over again.  I have confirmed that the cache folder is updated.  When I retry the import, I delete the cache files before importing the clip.  The same behavior occurs if I rename the .ts file with .mts or .m2ts.  I don't understand the conforming thing, because everything I've read on it says it is only done once.  This only happens on recordings with the antenna as the signal source.  Can anyone explain what is happening, or steps I can use to troubleshoot the problem?
    TIA

    ATR,
    Yes, that would explain why the Conforming happens again, but this line troubled me:
    I can play the clip with audio, but as soon as I do, the "conforming audio" progress bar reappears and the same thing happens all over again.
    If that is AFTER the CFA (and possibly the PEK) files HAVE been Deleted, then they WILL be recreated.
    Now, some have experienced a Conforming "loop," but that is most often due to the Media Cache not being available, say with a Mapped Network Drive, or perhaps an external, which is assigned a new drive letter (remember, the link to the CFA & PEK files is an absolute Path).
    With the answers to the various, above questions, and especially the timing of the Deletion of the CFA files, and the re-Conforming operation, we shall know.

  • Why Does Premiere Pro CS4 Import Only 10 Seconds Of Layered Photoshop CS4 .psd??

    Why Does Premiere Pro CS4 Import Only 10 Seconds Of Layered Photoshop CS4 .psd??
    I have a 24 second clip I layered in Ps and when I import the psd into Pr THE SEQUENCE IS ALWAYS ONLY 10 SECONDS!
    How can I change this?  Why does this happen?  I really need to know as soon as possible.  I have a video project due this Wednesday (granted it's for an AV class where I'm just learning Pr.  But I can learn VERY FAST!)
    Thanks for your help.
    --OSXniCKels

    Just in case I wasn't clear in my last line "just Click-drag on the Tail of your .PSD to set the desired Duration," once you have Imported your .PSD (as Footage), just drag it to the Timeline, Click-drag on the right-hand margin (the Tail) and stretch out its Duration, as is required.
    Now, if you Imported as a Sequence, open that Sequence's Timeline, and do the same.
    I normally will set my Edit>Preferences>Still Duration to about what I think will be applicable, do my Import, and then with the Info Panel handy, just alter the Duration to suit.
    Good luck,

  • Why does Photoshop Elements 11 open a file in a lower resolution than I saved it in?

    Why does Photoshop Elements 11 open files in a lower resolution than I saved them?

    The only meaningful figures for 'resolution' with a digital image are the pixel dimensions. They are not changed by saving.
    The ppi (pixel per inch) information is not a property of the image, just like the dimensions of your prints : it's your choice when you want do display or print your images. The detail level of your image is dependent on the pixel size.

  • Does Premiere Elements 13 have SmartSound?  I can't find the button anywhere...

    Does Premiere Elements 13 have SmartSound?  I can't find the button anywhere.  I am using Classroom in a Book Premiere Elements 11 to learn it as there isn't a CIB for PE13, so I know it's not ideal, but by looking up help PE13  mentions SmartSound but I still can't find it under my 'audio' panel.

    nic22
    No.
    There is no SmartSound feature in Premiere Elements 12/12.1 and 13/13.1. In those versions, you have Music Score under the Audio Tab in the workspaces.
    Music Score is the same in concept as SmartSound (you can change music duration without altering the music arrangement), but is not SmartSound.
    There are several places in the Premiere Elements 13 Help PDF where information is correct for other versions but not Premiere Elements 13.
    Using video tutorials and books written for versions different  than your own can get confusing. The principles tend to stay the same from version to version, but features
    tend to get moved, deleted, changed from version to version. And, often the video tutorial does not
    make a point of what version of the program is being used to demo the tutorial - assumption "same".
    As a guide, if you are watching a video tutorial and the headers read
    Quick and Expert - that is 11.
    Quick , Guided, and Expert - that is 12.
    eLive, Quick, Guided, Expert - that is 13. (but note, some users in Europe do not have eLive).
    Please review the above. If any questions or need clarification, please ask.
    Thank you.

  • Why does my Elements 12 ask me to enter Program Key after the product has been used and registered

    I have had Elememts 12 for several months ... when I bought it ...I downloaded the program and registered it ... now ... every once in a while the program asks me to enter the Key number as if I never registered it ... also sometimes I get a message about my 30 day trial ...

    I purchased Elements 12 not the Premier addition .... the disk Elements 12 comes with a trial version of Premier ... I did not install the 30 day trial version .... maybe t is Adobe trying to sell me the Premier addition ... I will pay more attention the next time the message comes up ... after reading some of the posts, I think that is what is happening ... I will have to wait ... someone wrote that they had the same problem and after a while, the message stopped appearing .... as I indicated .... I will look more carefully the next time I see the message...

    I am trying to get through all your recent replies to go back to your post numbered 8.
    1. Go to Control Panel/Programs and determine if you have Premiere Elements 12 and Photoshop Elements 12 installed.
    2. When you have gotten the try out dialog, what program is mentioned in the dialogs - Premiere Elements 12 or Photoshop Elements 12?
    3. The fundamental question is what did you purchase
    a Photoshop Elements 12
    b. Premiere Elements 12
    c. Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12
    From what you wrote it sounds like Photoshop Elements 12. Premiere Elements 12 seems to have come along as a tryout.
    4. If Premiere Elements 12 is a tryout, after 30 days from first install of it, you should not be able to use it without a purchased serial number specific for Premiere Elements 12.
    5. If you have no interest in Premiere Elements 12 tryout, uninstall it if it is installed. If it is not installed, then it is not the cause of your trial messages. But, I offer you this thought. Are these really License This Product/Continue Trial messages or are they really promotional dialogs (ads) put on your computer by Adobe who knows you have Photoshop Elements 12 and are trying to get you interested in Premiere Elements as well?
    Please review and consider.
    Thanks.

    Add On...All my encountered with tryout pop ups have been as described and restricted to purchase Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 purchased as bundle.

  • Why does Premiere Pro CS5 eat up space on my C drive when it conforms video files?

    Hey everyone. I have Premiere Pro CS5 with the latest update installed. I am running Windows 7 64-bit on a 120GB Corsair SSD drive. I have set my scratch disk video and audio previews to a different hard drive (F: drive). I have three questions:
    1. Why does Premiere eat up space on my C drive whenever it conforms the video files I import into my project?
    2. Where on my C drive can I find the folder that holds all these conformed video files that are taking up space on my C drive?
    3. How do I prevent Premiere from eating up space on my hard drive when it conforms the video files I import into my project? Is there some way to move whatever folder is eating up space on my hard drive when Premiere conforms the video files and tell Premiere to conform the video files on another hard disk so I don't lose precious space on my C drive?
    Okay, that's four questions but, can some please help me on this? Thanks.
    Okay, that's five questions.

    hello,
    i think you need to relocate you media  cache files to a separate drive other than your c: drive.
    in the hardware forum, Harm has done a wonderful job at advising on HDD setup, i think it mentions relocation
    of swap file, media cache, etc.  all which are defaulted to your c: in your user profile
    after relocating to different physical drives (all without partitions) performance usually increases
    Generic Guideline for Disk Setup  by harm
    hope this helps til someone else answers more
    good luck...

  • Does premiere elements 13 support canon mov files?

    Does Premiere Elements support Canon mov files or must I convert the mov file to a different format first?  If I have to convert the mov file first, what file conversion program should I use and what file type should I convert it to?

    Howard Scheer
    Thanks for the additional very helpful information.
    Two concerns in your case...
    1. Canon 70D and its H.264 intra frame compression. Please refer to the following
    current thread on the color fade of the exports of the Canon 70D footage
    export quality
    2. Premiere Elements 10 on a computer with a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card
    is bad news. The typical fix is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. But, when the
    computer operating system is Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, often there is not an older enough driver
    version to revert to in order to get Premiere Elements 10 to display and work properly.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
    Also see Announcement at top of this forum about the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue.
    You should not expect to run into this problem in Premiere Elements 13. But, go tryout before purchase
    to assure the compatibility of the program with your computer environment and project goals.
    Please review and consider and then we can discuss your situation further.
    Thank you.
