Sometimes if I try to add multiple effects to several clips too quickly, the effect will hang and the entire program will freeze. It still appears to be responding, but the only way to get it working is by ending it in the task manager. It's not common, but I'm not gonna let it happen again. Do you know about this? What do I do? ... View more

I've been experimenting with the various transitions in the program, but they seem to all assume that the transition covers the entire screen at once. If you use Dip to White or Dip to Black, the entire screen will dip to white or black, rather than specifically the clips you are transitioning between. If you use the Wipe effects, it will mostly work as intended for smaller clips, but it will assume the total wipe covers the entire project, so the actual time of the wipe will be much smaller than anticipated. If you use the Slide effects, the small clip will usually traverse the entire screen while it is sliding. Etc.   I understand the reason this is the way it is, but is there any way to localise the transitions? Make it so I can have a small clip in the corner of the project that has its own transitions completely separate from the rest of the project? It's just not worth it to complete every single mini-project seperately. ... View more

I've been having a problem since I installed Premiere Elements with certain clips. It seems to primarily be with longer clips, although it does occasionally happen with shorter clips. It may have something to do with file types or codecs, since videos of certain file types don't seem to have these problems, but multiple file types have had the same issue. I don't know exactly how to describe it, the videos run fine normally, but when imported into Premiere Elements the video, but not the audio, suffers occasional glitches and hiccups. Points in the video will skip back a few frames, while the audio keeps running forward as normal. Oddly, despite it usually showing up in longer videos, it shows up even in the first few minutes of those videos. These glitches can occur several times a minute, and while they are only a few frames of desync each time, the errors are so frequent that it is virtually impossible to maintain audio consistency throughout the video. Note that this isn't just a playback problem, the exported videos have these glitches. Even if I don't include any edits, simply importing a file to a project and then exporting it as a movie causes the massive desyncs to show up. There doesn't seem to be any way to fix the problems, except for manually, which is obviously not an option. I also occasionally have a problem where moving a section of the clip one frame or moving it to a different layer causes the video to jump slightly, changing the point in the video it comes from. I imagine it has the same root cause, but I have no idea how the two problems are connected. ... View more
