Premiere Elements

I am using Premiere Elements 2024.  I captured a video on my iPad Pro 12.9" in landscape mode.  I want to keep only a portion of the area of the video.  For example, the video has what I want in only a portion of the screen.  I want to eliminate everything outside that portion.  Then I want to edit the video by trimming the start and end points which is no problem.  Then I want to export/save the video to be shown on a cell phone screen in portrait mode, regardless of the phone model or screen size and have the entire portion fit.  I tried using the crop tool, but this didn't work, as I had a lot of black screen remaining around the cropped area.  I tried setting the project settings to Mobile > iPod, and kept the project settings when adding the clip.  But I still had a full landscape image.  How can I set the canvas size to be the correct size to ensure the end result will be able to be shown on a cell phone screen?  Note: the

I have deleted several hundred clips from a project timeline leaving around 10% of the original clips in the timeline. Is there a quick way to delete the unused assets to save disk space? I know Pro can do it but it seems to be missing in Elements 15.

 I have a copy of Adobe Premiere elements 14that is registeed with Adobe and when it launhes I am inputting the correct serial number BUT I get this message. I have gone to my Adobe account and deactivated any device that was linked to it previously. Any idea how I can solve this please? thanks in advance 

I literally couldn't find anyone else with this problem, so I'll post this here.I purchased Premiere Elements for a school project a month or two ago.  It was working fine up until recently when the launcher just stopped working.  By this, I mean that when I click on the program icon in my start menu, normally I get a screen where I'm prompted to choose between Premiere Elements, Organizer, etc. along with some Adobe news and whatnot.  Instead what I get is a completely blank screen.  This has happened twice and restarting my computer didn't solve it.  I managed to remedy this the first time by completely reinstalling the program, however now I restarted my PC since then, it's regressed back into this blank screen nonsense.Are there any documented occurrences of this besides me, and if so, is there any way to fix this?  Closing in on the end of my project, I'd like to keep time-wasting reinstalls to a minimum.

Hi,trying to export MPEG file with Elements. Estimated file size 100Mb. Free disk space 1,78TB. It gives systematically Internal error -Check disk space error message with MPEG custom export. It doesnt matter what project, what file or what computer. Tried 2 different computers and 3 different internal disks. Always Internal error with MPEG. All other export types works fine but MPEG no. What to do??

With Pre 2024 I was looking for playing the clip in full screen, preferably with play/pause/step buttons.In Pre 2024 I happened to find in the shortcut list for the keyboard (under Edit) that Ctrl+Alt+Enter activates the "Play in Full Screen mode.But now the question. Was there another way to activate the Play in Full Screen from the menutabs or elsewhere? I did not find that.And when I put "Play in Full Screen" in the searchbox of the online help menu there is no result?I like to have a Table of Contents with all possibilities and commands/shortcuts which are available in Pre 2024, preferably as a pdf. When I have "Play in Full Screen" activated then in the middle below of the screen there is a play/pause button and a buttons to step left/right one picture and a Shuttle button.  While experimenting I found that these buttons could be used with the left mouse click. Also the mouse wheel could be used to move the clip left/right. But using the arrow-left and arrow-ri

I have video footage recorded with a Panasonic GH5 in 4:3, 10 bit with 4992x3744 resolution that opens fine in PrE, but on the export page the source resolution is shown as 3840x2880.   Any suggestion on how to get the source file resolution to be recognized?   Properties from file:     Screen shot from export page      

I maintain a website - basic HTML.  I have uploaded video to be played from the webpage.  It plays fine on Win 10/11 Chrome.  Apple ios 17.7 Safari & Chrom do not play.  The MP4 file was created from Adobe Premiere Elements 2020:Export & Share > Devices > SD480 (720 x 480). HTML code:<video width="720px" height="480px" controls="controls" loop><source src="http://www.arcolaalumni.org/DistinguishedAlumni/2024/Banquet720x480.mp4" type="video/mp4"><br>Your browser does not support the video tag</video> The webpage plays another MP4 video - not generated by Premiere Elements - flawlessly in Safari & Chrome on iPad.  What Premiere Elements options should be specified to create video compatible with ios 17.7 Chrome/Safari?

I've just filmed a gig. I recorded 2 channels of audio into the camera - 1 channel XLR input directly from the mixing desk. 1 channel from the internal camera mic as a back up/guide track. When I've dropped the clip into Elements 18, the audio appears in Audio 1 as 1 singular file (with 2 wav files displayed within).I really want to remove the Camera mic channel 2 recorded audio and work with the XLR channel 1 recorded audio.How do I seperate them to remove the camera mic track? Spotted on google that PPro offers a 'modify' option that I think is what I'm looking for but can't find any sort of option like this in Elements 18? Would an upgrade to Elements 25 offer this if 18 doesn't? 

I just upgraded Premiere Elements from version 2023 to 2025. In the 2023 version, there was a tool called Music Remix that could be used to shorten or lengthen an audio track. I've added one of the included audio tracks to a project in the 2025 version, and I need to lengthen the audio track to match the video track. I'm not seeing a way to do that in the 2025 version. What am I missing? Russ

Hallo, ik werk al lang met premiere elements, ik besloot de laatste versie 2025 aan te kopen en te installeren, dat lukt en het werkt prettig, alhoewel het er allemaal wat andere uit ziet dan vorige versies.waar ik me wel vragen over stel is het versie nummer, is voor zover ik kan zien 25.0 echter in help>updates staat dat er een update beschikbaar is, als ik op OK enter gebeurt er ....niets, kan het zijn dat de 2025 versie nog te recent is of zit er in dit geval een bug in de update bewerking?

I'm looking for some guidance about the correct export settings in PE 2025. I have some older video footage (2000-2010) that was captured and imported from a Sony Digital8 camcorder. I want to split the footage into smaller, more consumable segments that I will share with my family through Plex. I originally chose the "Match Source - Adaptive High Bitrate" preset under Computer, with the H.264 format. Everything seemed to work great, but when my family went to play the video through Plex, they found that the footage was unwatchable due to interlacing artifacts. I wonder if there's a preset or other setting I could choose to a) remove the artifacts, and b) maintain essentially the same level of video quality, especially when viewed through Plex. File size isn't that important to me. Here's the MediaInfo for the original footage:General Complete name : G:\Video\Video Camera\Sony Digital8 Footage\2010\May-June_2010.avi Format

I freshly installed Premier Elements. It crashes as soon as I try to import photos.This happens both with the general Import button and the Files and Folder targeted import of particular folders.  When using targeted import, the last photo it was attempting was a jpg. I tried reinstalling the software; this didn't help. Looking online, the usual solution seems to be to return the product for a refund.  Before doing this, is there anything else to try?

I was looking through documentation to find out how to jump to the start or end of the timeline. I found ver. 2018 uses Home & End keys for this and Page Up / Down to move between clips. Page up and down work for me but Home and End keys (both on the keyboard and the numeric keypad) do nothing. Looking under Edit for keyboard customization I see these keys are mapped for this purpose. Is this an issue with ver. 2022 or just my keyboard?   Thanks

"Hello everyone, my Elements 2023 keeps crashing when I right-click on an image, for example, to change the image duration. It started crashing three days ago, completely out of the blue, after working perfectly and smoothly for three weeks. I have no idea what’s causing these sudden crashes. I work with MP4, MP3, and JPG files. I’ve already followed several tips from Adobe support, but nothing has helped. I’m desperate. If I start a new project and upload the same images, everything seems to work fine, so there might be an issue with my current video project that I’ve been working on for about three weeks. But I’m puzzled as to why it only started acting up three days ago. I didn’t change anything (at least, I hope I didn’t)."

I've made my video, but it won't stop at the end of the clips and won't render. I've let it run to see if there might have been some 'outlier' clips that were inadvertently put in the timeline, but after an hour, still won't stop. I've set the beginning and end in the WAB and see that it has the appropriate beginning and end timestamp...so, I'm befuddled. Any suggestions?

I can't find the Motion Tracking tool in Premiere Elements 2025. Thanks for the help 

Just a quick info. I think that nobody mentioned here that APE2025 has finally got great feature which is Frame Interpolation. It is extremely useful for slow motion sequences for instance.       

Hi,Take a look at this part of the timeline - As you can see after pressing record, I have made 3 high pitched noise, so that I can bring them to one place in post and smoothly edit the footages from multi-camera shots. I have seen you can can select footages like these in apps like PowerDirector, Filmora etc. and apply multi-cam synchronisation to sync both footages automatically. Do we have anything like that in APE2025? I am asking because APE2025 seems like a fresh new app, so did the developers give it a thought? 

I am a very old APE user, using it since last 10 years or so.   I made changes to keyboard shortcuts based on my needs to ease my editing process. In APE2025, I am missing 2 things most and would appreciate if anyone could guide me how I can accomplish the same.   There was a thing called Split Clip and I have assigned the button Q with the function in previous version of APE. So this is how it worked. While a footage is selected, I could just keep my video playback cursor anywhere and press Q, it would split the footage. If no footage is selected but I press the Q button, it splits all the footages under the playback cursor. Now I do not find the split function. To do that I need to select the Scissor tool and click on the footage to split up. If there are multiple footages in my timeline, I have to split them manually. This is more time consuming and I need the split clip function work with shortcut as I used it before. I really need this. There wa

I think there is a bug in APE2025 Effects->Image control->ContrastIt doesn't work the way it should. It more looks like a change of bightness or exposure, but definitelly not a contrast. Example: https://youtu.be/zV9fL2x7VIA The Contrast setting in Adjustments tab works well but I need the other option to work as well. What is the best way to report such isses to Adobe? 

If I browse the community, I can see that PE2021 - PE2024 has huge performance issue with rendering simple videos. Even I made a post here complaining about it, which improved nothing. I found Adobe released PE 2025 now, does anyone have any performance review or I have to buy the license again, play with it to find out?

HelloIf you are having sound problems in adobe premier elements when first downloaded then go to EDIT>PREFERENCES>AUDIO HARDWAREYou may see that the speakers for output say (not working) in brackets. But if you change the input microphone to be "no input" then the output sound suddenly drops the (not working) and then works!!!You're welcome.I caught this by total accident - and thought I would shareHave a good day!

I've notived that Hardware Acceleration Encoding settings are available at two locations: 1) Preferences/Media: 2) Export and Share: Don't you know what each of those settings does?
