Why on Premiere Elements 9 for Mac Unexpectly Quits when previewing edit?

Former Dell Windows XP PC user with new MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.5 with 2.53 GHz Intel iCore 5
Using Adobe Premiere Elements 9 for the Mac.
Experience: Premiere Elements 2, 4, 6, 7 on Windows based PC
First video editing experience on MacBook Pro using PSE9 so far consisting of 3 still pictures with titles and transitions.
The 3 still photos ran fine with no titles and no fades and no transitions.
When I add a title wth a fade in OR add a transition between photo clips and try to preview the edit without rendering the work area, The application suddenly quits with the message (see attached error message photo): Adobe Premiere Elements 9 quit unespectedly.
The Problem details and System Configuration runs hundreds of lines. 
When I click the Reopen button, it doesn't work -- all I get is a white screen. 
When I click OK, I get a Crash Report for Adobe Premiere Elements 9  window (see attached error message photo)
If I render the work area before previewing, the "unexpected quit" problem goes away.  So that is a solution but it is a "work around" solution.
Attempts to solve problem:
Contacted Adobe support person via telephone named Jolly in India.  He connected to my computer so that he could see my screen.  His solution was to download an available update for  APSE9 and the first Preview run worked flawlessly.  So we hung up the phone. 
Then I did one "cross disolve" transition and Bing !! ASPE9 unexpectedly quit !!
Any ideas at all?  NOTE:  This 70 yr old "didn't grow up with computers" is still on learning curve for using the Mac.
Thanks in advance,  David (DRthiess)

Thank you Bill H. and Steve G. for your prompt reply and suggestions. 
Bill, I started this project of editing the video from my son's, (the coach) boy's team winning the state Cross-Country championship back on Monday (now Thursday 12/2) with the intent of having it finished by the time I see him on Sat.  I'm running out of time to do extensive research and will have to use my "work arounds" the problem, namely rendering the work area before previewing an EDIT (and maybe even "sharing" small segments as a .mov file to my hard drive without previewing and then putting the segments together and later researching a fix.
Note Bill that when APrE9 first quits, I do get "details" that run hundreds of lines -- which mean nothing to this 70 yr. old mind.  I do submit reports into, is it APPLE? or is it ADOBE? that gets the reports.  And what does the "receiver" do with the reports anyway?
Steve.  The camera is a Sony DV camcorder (tape) but I haven't gotten to the video yet.  I started the video editing with 3 jpeg still photo and was trying to overlay them with titles with some fade in's and fade out's and Cross dissolve transitions.  So I haven't even dragged the action video to the time line yet. 
NOTE: I have installed Parallels 6 and Windows 7 on my Mac and my Adobe premiere elements 9 (just purchased) came with both a Mac installation DVD and a Windows installation DVD.  The Adobe tech support said that I could try the Windows version when Windows 7 is up and running on my computer but that Adobe would not support that platform because as he said:  Window 7 on the Mac doesn't operate the same as Windows 7 on a PC.  News to me as I thought that by installing Windows 7 on my Mac, I would get the identical Windows environment with no conflicts.  Perhaps I was expecting too much. 
Thanks again.  I'll report back when I get it solved or if I need more help.
David

  • Language for Premiere Elements, for MAC

    Hello,

    Some purchased Adobe Premiere Elements Editor or Adobe Premiere Elements Quick Editor from the Mac App store instead of Premiere Elements Mac from Adobe.
    I checked online regarding the Mac App store and their Premiere Elements offered...

    looks like last date on document is around May of 2013.
    Note that even there
    Spanish is not an included language for "Photoshop or Adobe Premiere Elements".
    Curious.
    I suspect only Adobe has the answer for no Spanish version of the product. You could contact Adobe via Adobe Chat to determine what workaround, if any, exists for those wanting a Spanish version of the product.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using on your Mac computer?
    Did you apply the Difference Matte write up that I posted? Many Premiere Elements Windows and Mac users have reported using the technique described for Green Screen.

    I have not heard of any alternative for the Premiere Elements Mac user other than go Premiere Elements Windows.

  • Photoshop Elements 4.0 unexpectedly quits when launching

    I just installed Photoshop Elements 4.0. Every time I try to launch the program it starts to open and then unexpectedly quits and gives me the option of reporting it to Apple. I've installed it four times and this happens each time I try to launch the program. The installation goes fine as far as I can tell and I restart the computer each time.
    I am running OS 10.3.9 on a PowerPC G4 with 640 MB of RAM and 108 GB available on the hard drive, so there shouldn't be a problem with meeting the System Requirements.
    Power Mac G4, iBook G3, Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    After reading your response, I think I repaired permissions (in Disk Utility, right? Click on the disk and then on Repair Permissions). I tried several more installs, repairing permissions before each one. That didn't work, so I created a new administrative account and tried installing from there. I did that a couple of times, again repairing permissions before each one. PE still crashes when launching.
    My computer is on 24/7, with a backup to my external hard drive scheduled for each night. Since I first installed PE, my back up software has also been unexpectedly quitting. I did a backup after completely shutting down my computer and it worked fine. Won't know until tomorrow whether the automatic backup will work.
    I checked the Adobe support for PE and tried some of their suggestions, including going to Console to identify software conflicts. I didn't find anything there, except that the crash log says it's a kern problem. Does that help at all?
    I've never had a problem with installing software before. Should I erase my disk and reinstall everything, or is that a last resort?

  • I bought Adobe premiere 13 for mac and it says blank disc when I try to upload it. Why? and How do I fix this?

    The premiere  elements 13 and Photoshop elements 13 for Mac disc reads as blank when inserted for upload. I bought it at Staples. Now it won't upload.
    Is there a reason for this? Is it a faulty disc or does it need to be activated somehow?

    tarah
    Some places sell the product with a redemption code and not the serial number. Then the user has to go through the procedure of getting the serial number from the
    redemption code. Another factor is whether or not you purchased a Student Teacher version that may have come with a Product Code.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/redemption-code-help.html
    Serial number, Redemption, and Product codes | Student & Teacher Editions
    Are you saying that you insert a disc marked specifically for Premiere Elements 13 Mac installation, and it opens to give you a blank disc?
    When you write "for upload", do you mean insert disc for installation?
    You can obtain tryout installation files from the following web site and insert your purchased serial number (if that is what you have) into them during installation.

  • 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

  • Text Save Style in Premiere Elements 13 Mac

    I can't save styles for text in Premiere Elements 13 on my Mac. I can make one, only one, but it won't save the name and lately it hasn't even saved the style. What should I do to fix that?

    TheWhimsicalSort
    Premiere Elements 13 Mac
    Are you working in the Expert workspace or the Quick workspace of the program?
    Adobe has just released the 13.1 Update for version 13. Have you downloaded and installed it? If not, don't right now.
    Please do this mini test first in a new project...
    1. Open the Titler with Text Menu/New/Default Text
    2. In the Text Section of the Titler create your text, apply a style to it from the Styles Section of the Titler, and save
    the text style in the Style Section of the Titler.
    If that is what you have been doing, then update from 13 to 13.1 And, repeat the mini test run. Do you have the same problem
    in 13.1 as you did in 13?
    If so, go to the Quick workspace, and repeat the mini test run there. Do you have the same problems in the Quick workspace as
    you did in the Expert workspace?
    If that does not help the situation, then please delete the Premiere Elements 13/13.1 setting file which should be found

  • Editing iMovie files with Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows

    Hi,
    My 12 year old asked for Final Cut Pro for Christmas to edit movies he takes on his iPod touch and iPad. However, he has a Windows-based desktop. As I understand it, Final Cut Pro is not a Windows-based program. I thought we could get him Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows, but will he be able to manipulate his iMovie files easily? I have no idea what format the iMovie files are. Will he be able to download them to his Windows desktop, edit his movie, and then upload back to his Apple devices? Thanks!

    clue
    Bottom line: Making distinction between video editor project files and formats of exports.
    Details...
    The iPod touch and iPad typically offer video files H.264.mov or H.264.mp4 formats. This is not a Mac versus Windows matter because we are talking exports (.mov and .mp4) not project files from a video editing project.
    He should be able to take his iPod or iPad device videos and edit them in Premiere Elements. And, then he should be able to return them to his device(s).
    But, many of these devices record video with a variable frame rate (depending on the lighting conditions to a great extent). Premiere Elements (any version) can have problems with such video to the extend (a) out of sync audio (b) cannot import file at all. I have a iPod Touch 4th Generation and have no Premiere Elements importing/editing/exporting problems with my 1280 x 720 @ 30 progressive frames per second (H.264.mov) video from that iPod.
    Below is an excerpt of Premiere Elements 13 exports that might be of interest...

    The ideal way would be to look at the tryout of Premiere Elements 13 before purchase. If not possible, then, if purchased from Adobe direct, there
    should be an opportunity for money back within 30 days of purchased. If purchased from an authorized reseller, then the refund/return would be according to the policy of the retailer.
    Please let us know if you are OK with the above information. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask. If clarification on anything that I have written is needed, please let me know.

  • Premiere CC for Mac - How do I fix fisheye from a GoPro Hero 3+ video?

    Hi all,
    First up, I'm very new to Premiere - my experience is probably less than 2 hours at this point.  To disspell any concern over whether or not I'm using a licensed copy of Pr - yes, I am.  I subscribe to Creative Cloud because of my need for Lr, Ps and Ai. 
    Anyway, I've got a GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition camera and would like to learn how to remove the fisheye effect caused by the crazy wide video that produces.  In 1920x1080 "SuperView" I think it's some like 170+ degrees of view vs 127 degrees in "normal" wide mode.  Those figures might not be 100% correct but they're close.
    With SuperView there's some insane fisheye going on - as you'd expect, I guess.  Using the GoPro software there's an option to remove it but that produces video with an aspect ratio that looks squashed.  People are super tall and I lose some of the captured video at the top & bottom when watching.
    In Premiere for Windows, I believe there's a video effect calls Lens Distortion - it's not there on my Mac version of Premiere CC.  The tutorial I watched set the Lens Distortion to -27 and I'd like to try it.  Can't though - that effect isn't there.
    Is it possible to remove fisheye using Premiere CC for Mac only i.e. completely bypass the GoPro software?  If anyone's wondering why I want to bypass the GoPro software - the answer is "just coz." 
    Thanks

    The 2014 release of Premiere Pro CC now has presets for specific GoPro models. This is true in PPro for Mac, too. Check out the Effects tab in the Project panel: Presets > Lens Distortion Removal > GoPro > [your specific model] > [your specific GoPro footage's mode]. Drag the effect to your clip and watch the barrel distortion go away.
    Richard Harrington shows how in this video tutorial on Lynda.com:

  • Hi, I have bought Photoshop and Premiere Elements for windows, but I now have a iMac and would like to deactivate on the PC and transfer the programs to the iMac. Is that possible even do I bought it for Windows?

    Hi, I have bought Photoshop and Premiere Elements for windows, but I now have a iMac and would like to deactivate on the PC and transfer the programs to the iMac. Is that possible even do I bought it for Windows?

    Normally an Elements purchase is good for both platforms.  You should only need to download and install the Mac versions of the programs and install and activate them using the serial number you have from the opriginal purchase.
