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?

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 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

except the error message there (moviemaker) said 'too many methods firing from events'
hmmm. I don't know what it all means. I have an hdd sony digital handycam.

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.

Premiere Elements not starting

Hi
I purchased (and starting to get some serieus regrets) premiere elements 9.0 and running it on WIN7 x64
When I start it the welcome screen starts, when I chose New Project it tries to launch Premiere, but it stalls first for a long time at
the stage of ExporterQuickTimeHost.prm it takes a really long time and then the welcome screen looks again like I never clicked anything.
If I now click again on New Project , the welcome screen disappears completely.
I read some stuff about GPU settings and all, but I never get to that stage. Since I bought PE9 one week ago I never got to stage of even seeing the damned program!!
I noticed that 2 processes are started
Adobe premier elements.exe
and
Adobe premier elements 9.exe
They keep running, but there is no GUI
I updated the graphics drivers to the latest, I updated Quicktime to the latest, my WIN7 is fully up to date with the latest updates....

If you can get it working in diagnostic mode, try adding the various items back. Either do this one at a time or by halves.
Halves - say you have twenty items loading:
add back half (ten) and see if it still works.
If it does then the problem is in the half you removed.
If it doesn't then the problems is in the half you left starting.
If it does (2) then add back half (five) and see if it still works. Repeat the halving until you get to the last item - that should be the problem one.
If it doesn't (3) then take out another half (five) and see if it now works. Repeat the halving until you get to the last item - that should be the problem one.

Why does Vine Server not start with this script and work with the other?

I have the preferences of Vine Server set to start/run automatically when opening the programme.
If I double click the icon it works. Opens and starts.
If I use
activate application "Vine Server"
it opens but does not start.
If I use:
tell application "Finder"
activate
open application file "Vine Server.app" of folder "Vine Server 3" of folder "Applications" of startup disk
end tell
it opens and starts.
Anybody any idea as to why?
This seems to happen since I upgraded form 10.4 to 10.5.

Hello
Do you have multiple versions of Vine Server application, perhaps?
If so, that might cause the described behaviour.
You may try using full path to the current Vine Server application such as -
activate application "/Applications/Vine Server 3/Vine Server.app"
or -
tell application "/Applications/Vine Server 3/Vine Server.app" to activate

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,
Hunt

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.
Thank you.

Why does nidevldr service not start reliably?

nidevldr service does not start (consistently) after reboot. We are running TestStand 4.2.1 on Win 7, 32 bit.
National Instruments mDNS service starts after reboot, but stops shortly thereafter. As we understand it, the NI mDNS must be started in order for nidevldr to start.
Both services are set to automatically restart after 1st, 2nd & subsequent failures per NI Document ID: 4BHID6DE.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Aside from the cases mentioned in the 4BHID6DE document, It's possible that there is a firewall or antivirus software that is restricting this service from running properly. If you have any of those configured they may be worth adding exceptions to.
But, as Doug mentioned, this probably isn't the best place to pose this type of question as this forum is focuses on TestStand questions. I would actually recommend posting in the Multifunction DAQ (https://forums.ni.com/t5/Multifunction-DAQ/bd-p/250) forums, as they rely more on the device loader service for troubleshooting DAQ hardware.
Hope this helps!

Why does setup assistant not start?

I fully chraged the iPad but when I try to start it, and expect the Startup Assistant to appear, only the iTunes logo appears. This does not clear. How can I get the startup assistant to, well, start?

Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes - if it does not start on its own. That is what the logo on the screen is telling you to do - connect to iTunes. Once iTunes starts, it should instruct you in the step but step activation process.

Why does Premiere Pro not show in the Creative Cloud

I just bought the montly membership, paid, got the confirmation, but still Premiere Pro does not show in my Creative Cloud options - under audio/video it only shows and Photoshop, Prelude and Audition.
When I use the link in the email confirmation that I received I can press 'getting started'.
This leads me to the online Creative Cload Download - when I scroll to Premiere Pro, click on download I go to the next page, but still the program does not show?
What should I do differently? I am logged in already.
Please help me!

Do you have a 64-bit machine? Normally the listing will only include programs that your machine is capable of running. Check your machine capabilities against the requirements for Premiere Pro and see if it comes up short.

Why does the circuit not simulate correctly when i put two circuits in the same design.

Hi,
I have two circuits that i can simulate in their own designs and they work correctly but when i put the two circuits within the same design, one circuit does not work. I don't understand why this is happening. Could someone please explain why this is happening and how to solve it please?
Below is the circuit i'm attempting to simulate. Each little circuit is what i've made previously in their own designs.
When i simulate each circuit in it's own design i get the following waveforms.
When i simulate both of the circuits together i get the following waveforms. The yellow and red signals have been attached to the right hand side of the 10nF caps. The signals have also been offset.
Thanks for any help.

By the Multisim circuit file do you mean the .ms12 file? If so, i've attached a copy of it here.

Why does Photoshop Elements not remove the old version after installing an upgrade?

When I install a new version of Photoshop Elements, it converts the old catalog but does not remove the old programs. I just installed PS 11 over PS 10 and it did not remove it. I have had the same problem with each upgrade. I have to manually uninstall the old version.
Thanks.

It's good to have the software you paid for
Uninstalling the older version post an upgrade might be discomforting to many users, so...
Catalog conversion works fine irrespective of whether you uninstall or do not uninstall the older version since the catalog folders are not touched during uninstall.
Thanks

Why does Photoshop Elements not see my CD/DVD drives?

I have a CD/DVD drive and a Blu-Ray drive. Windows sees both and has no issues, but Elements does not show them for catalog backups nor even in the system information.

Hi Matthew,
I'm not familiar with the Daemon tools programme but the loss of the CD/DVD drive is a known problem when removing certain software from you notebook.
The Microsoft Knowledge Base has several artocles about the problem and how to resolve it.
