OK, thanks for the reply.  If anyone else knows that answer to my question about what happens to a Premiere Elements project when the frame rate (in Premiere Elements calls it "Display Format" in Project Settings) is set up incorrectly.  I am filming in 120fps but Premiere Elements only allows me to set up the project in 60fps. In fact, when I add the media to the project in the first clip, Premiere Elements automatically assigns "60fps Drop-frame Timecode." Will I run into a problem?  Forget about my filming in 120fps, what if I filmed in 60fps and mistakenly set up the project as 24fps (or vice versa).  What problems would arise?  I have seen a Youtube video created by Steve Grisetti but he just says that problems may happen but doesn't get into any real detail absout what problems may arise.   One other question, what is "Drop-frame Timecode and what is Non-Drop-frame Timecode?"   I would love to hear the answer to this question.   Thanks ...

Hello Ann,   Thank you for your response.  I really appreciate it.  Per your question about is the clip being captured at a 120fps frame rate and written to the card at 59.94fps, based on what I see, it is being written to the card as 119.88fps.  See image below.  Also, click here to see the techical data on the Sony ZV-E10 camera that I purchased.  Just click on "Specifications above the photo of the camera.   I have done a very quick trial run to see what happens if I insert a 120fps frame rate file and it seems to work fine.  And, when I  slow down to the max amount using the "Time Remapping" feature, any studdering is pretty much non-existant.  But, at the end of football season, I plan on creating a video that will encoupas the best plays from 10 or 12 games which ultimatley will mean 60 to 100 clips over about 20 minutes.  Will I run into a problem if I have probably 75% or 80% of the clips be a frame rate of 120FPS when the prject is set up for 60FPS.   Further what are the drawbacks from setting up a project with the wrong frame rate?  For example, Let's say that I film 24fps but set up the project as 60fps (or vice versa).  What is the negative that will happen?  There must be some unfavorable outcome otherwise they would not have the ability to set up a frame rate in the software.   Sorry for my lack of knowledge. I am a dad with enough knoledge and desire to create really cool football highlight videos but I really don't know much about the technical aspects.   Thanks, Rob     ... View more

I am having the same Premier Elements freezing problem.  Last week I purchased and downloaded PE 2018 and I opened a big project that I was working in in PE V 14.  Using PE 2018, the project basically would not run.  Just would freeze up.  Furthermore, I was no longer able to open the project in PE V14.  My fix was to delete the newly downloaded Premier elements 2018 from my system and completely start the project over. I don't understand the Quicktime issue.  Should I load Quicktime on my computer?  How will that help?  Why should the .exe file need to be renamed? I am using a Dell XPS 15 with a 1 TB SSD, 32 GB memeory, i7-77000HQ @ 2.80 GHz CUP, Nvidea graphics card. When I set up the project, I allow it to auto set-up using the first clip.   ... View more
