HOW DO I FADE OUT AUDIO IN PREMIERE ELEMENTS 13?

HiThe preview panel on Adobe Premiere Elements 10 has stopped working.It was working fine until a couiple of weeks ago. I'd created a film and rendered it OK but after watching decided to do a little more editing.When I opened up the project the preview panel was just grey/blank. I move the cursor over a piece of film and just got like a snap shot.I can hear the soundtrack but no picture.I have tried a few suggestions from various sources as follows.I've updated the video/display drivers (directly from the manufacturers website)I've updated Windows for all the latest updates.I've updated all the video players and codecs I could find on my PC.I've updated Java.I've done a cleanup and defrag but there is about 650 gb of freespace.I've deleted the Bad Drivers file on a few occasions, this did give me a stuttering playback in the preview panel briefly but that has stopped again.If I open a different window over the top of Premiere, part of that image stays in the preview panel when I close

I am trying to decide between Premiere Pro and Elements 13 and would like to save some money while still being able to have those capabilities to key.Thank You!-Jesse

Hey guys,I was just wondering, since Youtube now implemented the 60 FPS feature, how I could render my videos with Adobe Premiere Elements 12, so that the outputfile has the following speccs:1920 x 1080p60 FPSYoutube-compatible file format, so:MPEG4AVIWMVMPEGPSFLVI have fine settings for working with 30 FPS or lower, but I can't seem to get them to 60 FPS with PE12 - at least not with usable results that don't need to render for 4 hours straight, or take about 5 Gigs of Space per 15 minute file...

I am getting the message "The importer reported a generic error" whenever I try to add .mov media files to my project. I am using Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8. The .mov files generated from my iPhone seem to import properly but the .mov files from my camera are not working. I have installed the latest version of Quicktime (7 I believe). Not sure where to find more information on the specs of the file if required. Please advise. Thank you.

Hi Experts,I am working on Premiere Elements 10. I want to export video in best quality. I will play video in Big TV from USB drive OR from YouTube OR through AirPlay OR through DVD.But I see lot of options to save Video. Example: "HDTV 1080p 30 High Quality" / "MPEG2 1920x1080i 30" / "Adobe Flash Video" etc.Which one gives high quality. I want to keep best quality video file permanently.Thanks,Anji

Hi,We have a new laptop, and have just installed Adobe Premier elements 10. It´s Windows 7 64-bit, and we have a AMD Radeon HD 7670M grafic card in it. and we get the above error as soon as we try to start it up by chosing to start a new project. Please help us!

I was reading a review of Premiere Elements 11, and it was noted that PE11 had limited render options which can result in poor quality output files:"Rendering quality is limited to the original format, which is usually consumer-grade and heavily compressed, so adding an effect can degrade the video quality in the final rendered version when viewed at full size, especially in fast-moving scenes. Changing the preferences to slower/better quality helps, but does not eliminate this problem."http://www.techhive.com/article/2010628/review-adobe-premiere-elements-11-offers-an-easy-fast-and-simple-take-on-video-editing.htmlDoes anyone have any feedback on this? Are the rendering options limited?I am currently downloading the trial to test it. I tried using the "Adobe Download Assistant" but the download speed was poor, so I had to switch to a scene release on a filehosting site instead (good one Adobe).thanks

Hi all,have spent my hole day at my brother but still no idea what this error could be. After having this project in APE 8.0 and editing it now with the newly bougt Verion 10.0, everything was fine... Opened and saved it several time but today there were suddenly problems: Even a complete new project with the same material and same cut is now broken after having saved and exportet it.... When we are trying to open the project, we're getting the error:--------------"Premiere Elements has encountered an error.CONTINUE--------------And in the next window:-------------Project could no be loaded. It's damaged oder has old elements (not same words, cause my brother is using the german version)--------------I have tried everything so long: new installation, opening the damaged project on another computer with ELements 8.0 (identical error also there), deleting cahe, deleting Prefs, loading Auto-Backup (also damaged) and so on... Another "Test-Project" I have created with 2 clips is working fi

Hello,I've tried mulitiple times, but I can't upload a video to Facebook.  It goes through the whole process, and when it's done "uploading" it comes back with an Error Message - Unknown Error.  Please help!Thanks!

This was graciously provided by Gonza, and I hope that it helps others:Editing GoPro HD with Premiere Pro CS4IntroductionGoProHD has many different resolutions, all of them progressive scan (p) with square pixels, titled R1 to R5. It records in MP4 files, using H.264 video (AVC) and AAC audio.  Here I will address R2 to R5:R2 = 1280 x 720 30p (widescreen 16:9)R3 =  1280 x 720 60p (widescreen 16:9)R4 =  1280 x 960 30p (standard 4:3)R5 = 1920 x 1080 30p (widescreen 16:9)Preparation of files It seems Premiere Pro CS4 does not like the way GoPro builds the MP4 container. So you have to re-write it so that it has a more standard form. You can do that using MPEG Streamclip (or Quictime Pro, but that one is not free)http://www.squared5.com/If you open  your GoPro videos in MPEG Streamclip (or Quicktime Pro) , and then you just save them again ("save as... MP4") , then the MP4 container will be re-written but the video will not be re-encoded (hence, there will be no qualit

Hi All,I have recently purchased & installed Premiere Elements 11 on my Windows 7 64bit Dell laptop. I found the tutorials very helpful and was able to successfully create my first project - importing a 46 minute AVCHD file4GB m2.ts shot on my Panasonic HC-V100 in Record Mode HG1920: 1920x1080 25f/s Audio 48kHz. When creating the project I selected: New Project>Change Settings>PAL>AVCHD>Full HD 1080i 25 andTicked ‘Force Selected Project Setting on this Project’ (I'm in the UK hence selecting PAL)I added titles then created a menu and scenes using a still photo 2mb jpg 3456x2304 300dpi for the menu background. So far so good - really pleased with the results on screen. Next I selected Publish>Disc > selected AVCHD Add Name>Choose 1920x1080i>Burn to Folder. I then burned the BDMV Folder to DVD using the inbuilt DVD burner in my laptop.This successfully produced a DVD with menus and titles which will play on my Blu-ray player. The quality of the video is excell

What are the feature differences between Photoshop Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements?Do I need both programs since it appears that Photoshop Elements is embedded into Premiere Elements?Thanks, Ron

How do I import .flv files to Adobe Premiere 12?thanks,

I uploaded a video to You Tube (which I have doen numerous times before) only this time there was no audio.  I was able to create an AVI file just fine.  It's just when I uploaded it that there was a problem.  Any ideas?

I am just getting started on a project that someone else had filmed previously. They used a boom mic for this interview when there was A LOT of background noise. Most of the background noise is people talking. I have tried a few different things to try and remove the sounds, but I can't get it to mute the both male/female voices in the background. I've tried learning the sound model and then using the sound remover. I've only been capturing about a second at a time. Is there any hope for me to reduce this noise? I've also tried the parametric EQ, but that doesn't really seem to help because there is so much noise of so many different pitches. Yes, I know, the key to good sound is recording good sound, but unfortunately I did not have this option as I did not do it myself. Any ideas or am I pretty much out of luck?Thanks!

  I am very new to video but have a short-ish fused problem and am looking up a hill.  Very recently I obtained 11 DVDs from YESVIDEO via Walmart.  A relative had taken my mother's many 8 and super 8 film strips and gotten the film converted into digital .  Problem is now mine when we found that those DVD's are not in any readily useable format.  We want to play these old "movies" --- or parts of them --- for my father (95 years old) at the Thanksgiving reunion.  Since I am known in the family for being a Photoshop guy (since the 1980's) I now have the YES DVDs and Premier Elements 12.  Plus Elements 12.  And no experience in this type of photography.I have gotten a converter off the web and it works alright.  And I can play the DVDs in Premier from the DVD without a converter.Next step seems to elude me.  What files should I copy onto the hard drive from the Walmart DVDs to support editing and outputting in a video format?  Exactl

The question "how do I get started with Premiere Elements?" comes up quite often. I have decided to put together a list of resources to help one get up to speed with the program, and even take it beyond normal video editing.One of the first places to learn how to do things in PrE is this sub-forum, Tips & Tricks. However, that might not be the best place to start. I'd suggest "walking before one attempts to run," and then to come back to this sub-forum. It's the same with reading the posts in the main PrE Forum - lot of great discussions no how to do much in the program, but they are usually around one operation, or revolving around a particular problem, so probably not the ideal start either. Let's look at some great resources, beyond this forum, but do keep it, and the general PrE Forum in mind for later studies.Steve Grisetti, our MOD here, has put together a great Basic Training Series, that is available on Muvipix.com (more on Muvipix.com later). This will provide the new user

Hi.I have just installed PE 8 on my PC and I have an nVidia GeForce 7950 GT graphics card installed (with the latest driver).When I playback fully-rendered AVI video in the desktop monitor from the timeline in 'Enable GPU playback' mode the video appears rather pixelated and blocky (undesirable), although the playback motion is smooth. If I playback the same video from the timeline after I disable GPU playback the video now appears crisp, however the playback motion is choppy.Obviously I'd rather use 'Enable GPU playback' mode to make full use of my graphics card but the quality of the video is noticeably worse than not using it. Strangely enough, if I scrub through the timeline, the video looks crisp, but when I hit the space bar to playback video automatically, the video appears pixelated again. This occurs on fully-rendered video and even without any transitions or effects being applied.This does not happen when using Adobe Premiere Pro or Microsoft Movie Maker (which I also have in

Hello, I just resolve my problem to install Premiere Element 11 on my Ultrabook.The new problem is that Windows 8 is installed on this Ultrabook and, and Apple doesn't still uprgrate QuickTime to run on windows 8.Do you think I really need it ?For now I wait and it seems to run for my AVCHD files.I suppose the problem will come with my MOV files ?

I want to crop a bit from the left and a bit from the right of a movie [not equal amounts].In Photoshop it is easy, but in Premiere Elements 9 Trim and Crop just appear to zoom in.I just want to be able to remove without rescaling unattractive parts.Stupidly being new to video as it is in Photoshop I just assumed [always dangerous] tht would be possible.Ideally I do not want the result to be rescaled and suffer a loss in quality. Ideally I would like this then to be centered. I can live with a black border where I removed the offending edges.There seems to be no way for the user to determine how much lefrt, right , top and bottom.sorry if I posted this in the pro section but there seems to be no forum for Premeiere Elements. And no support or manuals!I am happy to buy the upgrade to Premiere Elements 11 if that can do it.Any help much appreciated!Peter

There have been several questions on how to structure Project folders for the best editing, and then clean-up, when a Project is completed, so I am going to offer my normal scheme, with comments on why I have chosen this folder structure. In my case, I have one more level, than many users employee (the “Client” folder), but with that exception, this structure should serve most users well. My folder structure is created, before I begin any Project. I also use a convention for most Assets, that allows me to first group all necessary Assets, but leaves the originals safe and away from the Project’s folders, so that a simple Delete cleans up the system, but does NOT affect any originals, with the exception of Captures from miniDV tape, which will be separately archived, and never reused - I would do the Capture again.XYZ Advertising (client)          Project Name (my Project "root folder")         &nb

Often, one needs to add an element to “call out” a person, or object in the video. There are several methods to call attention to the person, or object, but one way is to just add an “arrow,” pointing to that person/object.This can be done easily in the Titler, and one can use Shapes, or characters in a particular font set. Wingdings and Webdings are two font families with all sorts of arrows, and other symbols, that can be very useful.To accomplish this, one would Open Titler, and then choose a character in a font family, that has the right look. That character would be added in the Text box, after one deletes any “placeholder text” from the Title. For this example, I used Wingdings 3 arrowhead, and chose a font size that was adequate for my image. I adjusted the Stroke and Fill to suit. Note: in PrE’s Titler, one must first add a Style w/ Stroke and Fill, before they can make the adjustments. In PrPro, Titler will add, and allow adjustments to any selected object, without the need to

For some time, there has been discussion on the use of SmartSound® with various versions of Adobe Premiere®. Often, there is a bit of confusion, as to what SmartSound is and how best to use it. I hope to provide some information on both the programs as well as the "Series," that make up SmartSound music.First, here is some background. SmartSound’s programs come in basically three "flavors" now. First, there is QuickTracks for Premiere®. This is a plug-in for PrPro/PrE. It works from within the NLE program itself. Then, there are two versions of Sonicfire Pro®, which is a stand-alone program that is similar to QuickTracks, but offers so very much more in the way of power with the Strata Series® (and other Multi-track music) Series. One of these is the ExpressTracks® version, which is free with the purchase of any Strata Series disc., and the other is the full Scoring Edition®, which can be purchased separately, or upgraded free, if one has a registered copy of Sonicfire Pro 4 with S/N.
