Premiere Elements

PRE 12 and Windows 10. I am working on a movie consisting of numerous clips. I am editing one clip at a time, starting with a review of the entire clip, noting (using time) the areas that are candidates for trimming. Then I go back and review again, this time actually deciding and doing the trimming. The problem is that once I have trimmed at one point, all the other downstream times change, so I lose my time reference points for additional cuts.What I am trying to do does not seem unusual, so I suspect my method is at fault, since I am new to PRE. Advice would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.Ted

Hi. When I creaated a project in Premiere Elements 14, i mistakenly saved it to the wrong drive on my computer. I continued with the project and much later noticed my error. I saved my project to the correct drive and later thought that I could just move the preview files to the same location as the project files. I see that that was a mistake. Now I cant render the video files, but more importantly, when I try to export the completed project there is no sound. Preview files are missing. I tried copying the preview files from the new location back to the original location but it said that the file names were too long to move. They may not have moved accurately the first time. I belatedly see that preview files cant be moved. Is there a way to recreate my lost audio and video preview files? I cant render the project. The video seems to export ok but with no sound. I also mistakenly went into: edit, project settings, and tried to change the location of the preview files to the new projec

I am currently using Premiere Elements 2018 on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.Here's my system specs:Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H-BKCPU: Intel Celeron G1840 2.8GHzGPU: Gigabyte Windforce GTX 750 Ti 2GB VRAMRAM: 16GBThe problem that I keep getting is when I try to rending a video that's about 30 minutes in length and has another video overlayed on it, I get an error that just says; "Export Error". I tried cutting the video in half and the render worked fine, but when I tried the full 30 minute video again I got the same error that says "Export Error" again.I also want to note that I did render the timeline of both these videos before the actual render.Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Why looks like the timeline has hide/lost frames sometimes? My screen capture shows three points from same timeline. At first (top side) there was 00;00;59;29. Next frame (middle) has time 00;00;01;02 and last one (bottom) has time 00;00;01;03So I think that frames 00;00;01;00 and 00;00;01;01 are missing.Windows 7 PRO + Premiere Elements 14Have I done something wrong with settings or elsewhere?

With two bubble levels on my gear I believed the one on the tripod  and not the one on the fluid head (first time for this new head) and it was wrong. My two hour video is tilted to the left. Is there any way to level streaming video in PE13 or other version?Thanks!

I recorded a video with my laptop (it's a Lenovo ideapad 320) and imported it into Adobe Premiere Elements.  When I play the video in the computer's movie player or in Windows Media there's nothing wrong with it.  As soon as it's in Adobe Premiere Elements, the sound and the pictures get out of sync.  The sound track and the pictures weren't recorded separately.  Sometimes, without any exaggeration, it can be three or four minutes between the sound and the picture. 

Hi,I have just installed a new C drive. Had to reinstall all my programs inc Premier Elements 15. I have tried to open an existing project which I was part way through editting. When I do, I receive a message stating I need to locate certain files. I can locate these, which are still sitting on my old C drive, (I kept it as a back up). So I can find the files and point the program to them but then I receive a message stating that the 'file is not suported or the required codec not installed'. Can anyone assist? It makes no sense as the project was part way edited so these files have been used by Elements before. Can I simply move these files to the a new location on the new C drive? Any asistance appreciated.Thanks - Brian

Hi,after formatting my hard drive I had to reinstall all my software. Some years ago I purchased and downloaded Premier Elements 13 and I still have the file Setup which I downloaded at the moment of purchase. When I click to install it goes OK, then I write my Serial Number, but then I'm asked to insert a CD which I don't have and I never had. So the installation stops.Please, anybody knows how to proceed? I have the Serial Number written in my account, should I have also a CD?  I don't understand this.Thank you very much for your help!Best Regards.Tom

Whenever I work on a project I usually am setting In and Out markers along the way and rendering different sections.Once rendered these sections obviously stay selected, thus whenever I am working on something further down the timeline and I miss-press delete, the whole prerendered sections get deleted.It's even more annoying when your far enough down the timeline and you don't realise this has happened because you cant see it.You cant just Ctrl+Z to get it back because you will lose everything you just worked on.Plus when working on big projects, if I delete a huge edited section of the timeline and then Ctrl+Z to get it back, it lags out my whole computer, crashes and then I've lost everything since my last save.I don't know if this is a common problem among users or whether its just me and a weird setting I have enabled, but it seems far too annoying for people to just ignore.Does anyone have a solution for me?

Hi could you help please, I have mp4 files some of which do not fully load into PE18 (Premier Elements 18), only the sound track loads, these files do play using the Windows default program, other files recorded at the same time and from the same folder work perfectly in PE18.  File size, around 3 GB.Camera used, Drift Ghost S.PC operating system, Windows 10.Adobe program, Premier Elements 18.Thanks, John

Hello,Hoping the forum can help as I am pretty desperate now.I am using Windows 10 and Adobe Premiere Elements 14. I recently had to reinstall AP and since then cannot open a project to carry on working on it. However when I try to do it I get the message – “File Import Failure. This type of file is not supported” Also reference to maybe not having the right codecThe files are still sitting in the directory they always were which is the one AP sets up on my drive when installing. No external drives involved.Thanks to these forums these are the things I have tried –Installing Quicktime – No differenceLooking for a dialogue box asking me where my files are – I don’t get oneUsing Project Archiver – When trying to work with the archived project I get the same messageEdit – Locate Media (This option is always greyed out)Would really appreciate help here as what works for others does not seem to work for me.Thanks

Have large map as a background. Trying to have photo of a dance (first, build up to video later) appear small at the country it is from, expand to fill most of screen, pause, shrink back to the country. Next photo do the same thing from next country. Have been working with Pan/Zoom, image mask transitions, etc., etc. Not finding a way to do it. Just putting the photo in another track on the timeline does not let me expand/shrink it. Any suggestions from out there?

I am trying to make some sense with light room and feel that it is getting more complicated.  I want to just take family photos and make phonebooks.Lightroom wants you to use their phonebook people.  Plus it seem to be too complicated.  How do you get your edited photos up to say a Shutterfly

Hi I downloaded (and paid) the latest Premiere Elements version (15) recently and tried to install the app. Doesn't work. I am getting an Error Message saying "Installation fehlgeschlagen" - yep, I am German - but on hint whatsoever to why that failure occurs - and no hint on how to get my money back. Anyone had the same issue? Anyone around with a solution? CheersJens

New to this so be kind.I'm trying to export video for use on YouTube but the file size is too large for my internet to upload quick enough. I'd like to have a more managable file size but I'm unsure if I'm doing something wrong. I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 18 on Windows 10 (64-bit)The file I am uploading into Elements is a wmv. file at 146mb, see screenshot for more specs. What is the best export settings for this? The default export settings jack the size up to 450mb+ and I've been unable to get this size down. What project settings should also be selected when starting the project? Any help is appreciated.

Just like using a Slide Show for jpeg images in a single file, is it possible to put a number of videos or videos plus jpegs in a file and watch them sequentially?

We use WebEx to do internal learning (Professional Development) People will give a presentation and I WebEx it for remote folk to watch as well as record it. The recording is horrible compression and slides are unreadable so the only thing i use the recording for is the audio and a visual queue as to when the slides changed. I take the recording we get from WebEx and then I take the users slides and export them as JPGs then I put the JPGs over the video in the time line as I see that the user changes the slide. Very simple process that just involves scrubbing till the slide changes and put that slide in place. The end result is a nice narrated slide show that other teammates can use to learn form.I was just curious instead of me scrubbing till the slide changes is there a way in Premier that I can have Premier look for the changes and set markers of some kind? I am not very familiar with Premier so I don't even know the terminology to even look for it. The slides are static slides till

After adding media the timeline shows clips from previous renderings.  I close Premiere Elements 15 and restart it but when I add new media the old media still appears on the timeline.  ?? I must be doing something wrong and would appreciate any advice on how to correct this issue.Jim

Hi all, I've been using Premiere Pro for some time now and I know how to unlink audio from a clip and then delete. However, I'm running into an issue with some of my clips from a recent film I did in that even after I delete the audio tracks, the audio is still playing. It is driving me crazy because a lot of it is on-camera audio that sounds god awful. Anyone know how to fix this?? Is there a hidden audio track?

Hello everyone,I just installed First Elements 2018 (download) and I have a problem:- During a video editing, I recover my media stored on my hard drive from my PC and put them in place on the track. These media are videos taken by an HD camcorder.- When setting up the media on the track, the video appears, but the soundtrack is abscente!For information, the selected media are saved in ".MPS" and ".MOV".By cons, if I put a video on the track in ".MP4", I have no problem. I see the video and I hear the soundtrack associated with it.For information, I started my video editing with the versions First Elements 10 and 13 and have never encountered any problem! Super reliable.I just switched to the 2018 version which I fully trust.I think this has to be a setting or make a fix?Thank you for your feedback, which I think should not be too complicated.Fabian

I see a +1 in a small box with a red outline just to the right of each Edit Point (except the first) on the Expert view of the Timeline of a project I am working on. I've never seen that before. What does it mean? The Edit Points are the places where I've snipped. Please bear with me as I'm quite new at this.

Dear community,I must create videos in a special format - 768x320 pixels, size ratio 1:2,4.so I scale it to 1920x800 (1:2,4) and created an user defined Export Format 768x320.The result in PREL is looking well. "Mediainfo" displays the correct pixel format 768x320, but when I play the Video using VLC or Media Player, there is a black border exceeding the range of 768 Pixels to 1080.It seems that PREL is not able to export the video with a pixel number smaller than 1080.What am I doing wrong?Second, there are big differences between PREL 12 and 15.PREL 12 is working better than 15; 12 creates the Export as described, using 15 half of the content, i.e. text, is positioned outside of the 768x320 area.

My footage is slightly out of focus and blurry. I know that in Premiere Pro UNSHARP MASK exists to remedy this. Is there an equivalent function in ELEMENTS?Thank you!
