Premiere Elements

I'm working on a large, currently 2.5 hour project (still have some cutting-out to do). I have already done extensive editing that I would prefer not to have to redo.  A few days ago, every time I opened the project, Elements needed to conform about twenty .MTS files -- they seemed to be the same ones every time. The conforming took about an hour to complete, so upon suggestion I cleaned out the media cache and media cache database. Now when I open the project, it seems that ALL the video clips are being conformed. This process never ends, and eventually my laptop freezes up and I have to force shut down. Today I tried deleting everything in the timeline except for the first ten minutes. The endless conforming process continued, but I was able to successfully export those first ten minutes. Perhaps I could edit in spite of the conforming going on? But it slows Elements down significantly and always ends in a crash... Any ideas what might be going on here?

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.

I get an error message that states "The importer reported a generic error". That does not give me a clue for how to correct the error.I have imported m4a files before into the same project with no problems. Does anyone know how I can correct this?

Con Premiere Elements 2018 è possibile scegliere la miniatura che rappresenta un video? In internet ho trovato una modalità di post produzione video che utilizza VLC e Itunes. Si può fare meglio? Grazie, Gigi.

I am a premier neophyte trying to make a simple video slide show with some music and photos.  I keep getting a generic error message when I try to import music from my library. 

Gibt es ein Handbuch als pdf zum Download?

Hi all, I have video files from my DJI Phantom 4 pro that I have trimmed in Win10 photos and saved as an mp4. When playing the mp4 files there is no loss of detail  until I import them into premier elements 2019 for editing. I have tried changing the project import settings but this has not worked. I still get shimmering and loss of detail. I am new to the world of video editing, which is one of the reasons I chose Elements over Premier Pro. I have had a good route around on the web and youtube, which pointed me to the project settings, but am now at a loss. I know PE doesn't support .mov H265 but as the files are saved as mp4's i thought there maybe a way around this.  Any suggestions? Neil

Elements is telling me results will not be optimised as DV Camera settings are different to projet settings. How can I correct this? Elements can see the camera and does capture video. 

What program has enough storage space to hold 2,000 cartoon drawings (that I made using Paint and Paint 3D), for a 30-minute YouTube animated cartoon, without continually jamming up? Adobe Premiere Elements 19 could not do it. Thanks.  

I noticed that my Adobe Premiere Elements 19 doesn't even have the name of the product or manufacturer anywhere that's visible. I'm not surprised. I'd be embarassed to have my name on this also!   If you can help me, please do it in here. I don't trust emails unless they come from Adobe.          

I’ve tried about 6 times to upload my video to YouTube through Premiere. First of all the export button is greyed out, so if anyone knows why that is please tell me. I read that if the export button is unavailable you can just go to the “share” tab and select to upload to YouTube and use the YouTube preset. So typed in my title and description and each time it uploaded to 100%, but once it reached the end it came up with an error message that said “an error occurred while trying to upload video”. It doesn’t say what the error is. I talked to adobe tech support and they even helped me update my version of Premiere 10 hoping that would fix the problem (I have windows 7). But the same exact thing happened after trying to upload again after the update. Please help! 

This is a review on one site, does this mean that the only support for h.265 is on Mac, not on my dear Windows?Both Premiere Elements 2019 and Premiere Elements 2019 add support for importing and editing of HEIF images taken with your iPhone (the .HEIC extension) and HEVC-encoded video (the H.265 codec) with macOS 10.13 and above.Regards,Kent

Hi I've tried importing Mov files from the memory card of my Zoom Q8 video recorder. The files won't play and when I try importing them again it says they already exists, after I have deleted them all in the cache and in the saved folder.This is the Gspot details. 

Is there any way to change the project settings in an already existing project?If not is it possible to somehow reimport the already cut clips with all the work that invested in?Or need to start from the begining completely? It's been imported clips from multiple devices (camera+2 kind of phone) and it set the project settings to the phone which the final result is always worse. Another thing, should I convert all the clips to the same frame rate with handbreak before import?

Any advice would be appreciated. I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 11, or rather, I'm trying to use it. There is an orange line at the top of the uppermost video track. I know I'm using up a lot of memory with hundreds of tiny drawings that are each less than a second in length, but still... All I'm trying to do is make a 30-minute animated cartoon. Are there some settings on my computer that I could adjust? Thanks. 

Installed Premiere Elements 2019 from web download after buying disk at store.  Computer randomly crashes to bluescreen now.  Mostly while working with Titles in Expert mode.  "Update" in Help menu is greyed out.  Only crashes while in Premiere Elements.  Has never bluescreened in the 10 months it's been running.  Thoughts?  I doubt it's hardware related.Windows 10 ProIntel Core Duo i7-8700K @3.70GHz64GB RamNvidia GeForce GTX 970 feeding dual monitors

This has been bugging me for a long time. Is there a way to save color combinations so i can add them much faster to my text. Its very time consuming to add this to all of my new text each time i add new text. Is there any help to get? Also secondary question how do i make a downloaded text my default text?

Hi folks,I'm working on a movie for my sick neighbour but have a big problem. I've made several fragments with my Mavic pro 1 last year. They play perfectly well in Windows media player for example. Crisp en clear, but as soon as I open them in Adobe Premiere elements they appear with a strange ripple effect in sertain areas of the clip. Rendering doesn't help and when I produce a movie to an end file it still appears. File information:- FPS 23.98- Framesize 4096 x 2160In the attachments I've put a part of the original file (Example 2) as well as the file (Example) created by adobe Premiere Elements with the strange effect. The effect is good noticable in the roof of the concrete silo and surounding paddocks. It's looks like shaking/shifting lines.Really hope somebody has a solution to fix this and if you need more info let me know.

 This function appears to be setup identical to Pro. But its not making any difference. After choosing both E IN and E OUT, no change. Am I missing something that must be enabled? I have tried the Bazier and Auto, etc.

Why won't my .prel project open in PE 5?  It has plenty of times, but all of a sudden it will only open through my pc path, not directly from PE15.  I get:"loading project" - then goes to 100% and just spinsWhen I choose "cancel" I get "load project not responding" - then I close that and get"Program Not Responding"If I open from my pc using Adobe I can still edit, etc.  Any help would be appreciated!

I am using Premire Elements 15 on a Mac.  Tyring to render and/or export the video and I am getting a "invalid scratch disk" message.  I change the scratch disk, but I keep getting the message.

I've put together a group of images and set them to music.In the storyboard (?) there's always a blank one (to drop media into) regardless of how many I have. When I play it back I get a blank screen at the end, which spoils the video. Is there anywya to stop this? I'm very new to all this so please bear with me if it's obvious to you what I'm doing wrong! Thanks in advance

It appears that the minimum amount of time for a transition in Premiere Elements is 1 second.  It would be wonderful if Adobe would make it possible to shorten that transition time.  There are just times when being able to have a 1/2 second or maybe even less would really help make for a better video.  Please Adobe ... Please give us the option to go less than 1 full second on the transitions.
