Premiere Elements

I purchased the software combo and have activated Adobe Photoshop.  Now I am trying to use Premiere Elements, but it appears it did not activate with Photoshop.  I only have one redemption code and one serial number.  The serial number works for Photoshop, but not for Premiere Elements.  When trying to use Premiere Elements, I have access to the the first 2 tools, but the Video Editor asks for activation.  Is this normal?  Do I need to purchase something to make the video editor work?

Elements Organizer when loading says bitmap file is missing or is out of date which causes Organizer to not operate properly. I have Premier and Photoshop Elements 2023, starting Organizer from either app has the same problem. Do I uninstall both Apps and reinstall to fix the problem?  Thanks       Charles

I think there should be an option to bypass Home Screen and launch Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements apps directly from desktop. I know there is a way around by creating desktop shortcuts, but not everyone can do it.

Using Premiere Elements 2023: I have multiple video layers, and I am trying to adjust the position and scale of one layer by dragging the "handles" to zoom and reposition. I have a bunch of places I need to do this and other effects -- and I am on a tight deadline.  The problem is when I select Video 1 and click in the window to manipulate the video scale and position, the selection changes to the Video 2 layer and my adjustments are made on the wrong layer even if Video 2 is hidden. I am able to pan and zoom ok, but would prefer to control it with the "frame handles."  I also would like to understand why this is happening so that I understand the software better. Thanks for any tips!

These are the directories where current apps are being installed:C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 2023C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2023 I think C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 2023 should be changed to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiere Elements 2023. I understand it is just cosmatic but it looks more professional. 

I recently upgraded my Premiere Elements from 2015 to the new 2023 version. It all works great until I go to transfer the rendered file (MP4) to a USB stick. The output MP4 file is 10.3GB. It plays just fine, but when I go to transfer to a blank 64GB USB stick, it says there is not enough room on the stick. I formated the stick ahead of time so it is blank. I tried this on 2 computers and I have the same problem. I failed on my Windows 10 desktop. I then archived the project to a USB stick and put it on my new Windows 11 laptop. Same problem. The error said the destination device was not large enough for the file MP4 file being transferred. I'm completely bewildred by this behavior. I believe it must be a Premiere Elements problem, not a Windows file system problem. I can transfer much larger files/folders of various types to and from the same computer and USB stick without a problem.  Any suggestions? The only thing I can think of is that when I archived the projec

Hi,I am a new Premiere Elements user and not particularly tech savvy, though I tried looking through prior posts for ideas. When I try to save a 30 second video with a few clips spliced together, it says "rendering media" and either goes to 2-5% or doesn't go anywhere at all and then sits there indefinitely until I have to manually ctrl+alt+del to shut it down. Per advice in a prior post with a similar issue, I tried a simple video with just two images and it worked fine. Here are the specs of my device: Device name laptopProcessor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1255U 1.70 GHzInstalled RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable)System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processorPen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display It is relatively new and has 379 GB free. I am open to any suggestions/advice to solve this. Thank you in advance! John

I was having a bizarre problem where one of my clips on an upper layer (that I was keyframing the opacity and motion as an overlay) started picking up data/video images from the clip below and also from other clips not in that section of the timeline. I tried deleting and reloading the clip, renaming, and all kinds of other things too numerous to list or to remember. The solution: reboot computer. I tried opening and closing the program but that did not solve the problem. Posting in case someone else has this problem.

I was stupid enough to update my IOS a while ago. I have many Premier Elements projects and also finished projects, and now I am unable to open any of my files. It's about time Adobe fix this problem asap, or I consider a refund for a useless product. Thank you 😒

Hi, as the title says, how can I turn off auto updates in Premiere Elements? I couldn't run the program and only got a popup that said updates were installing, try later. No progress bar or further information. That was pretty annoying. I don't want the program to ever do this again, if possible. Thanks!

I dragged the "motion title" shown below to my timeline, but I can't figure out how to modify the background.  (and I'm not even sure what the difference is between "background" and "graphics" in this.)  Both "background" and "graphics" adjustments say to "select background from monitor to enable background editing", or similar for the graphics.  I can't figure out anything I can select that lets me do anything.  Clicking around, I can select at least 4 or 5 different things in the title area, but none of them make anything show up in the adjustments panel other than the "select background from monitor..." message I mentioned above.  What in the world do I select in order to change what appears behind my text for this title?  All I really want to do is change it so the title text appears on a solid colored background of my choice.  Why is this SO HARD to do? 

Hi there,I have built up a long video which I have splitted in multiple subvideos.It's a tennis video in which I fade to the next exercise after the exercises. I mostly use the "soft fade" transition here. Now it is often the case that Premiere Elements does not seem to recognize the transition of the two scenes and does not place the crossfade exactly in the middle, but on one of the two scenes. This then often results in a problem in the final video, namely that the transition is not clean but a bumpy "jitter", sometimes you can see the black background. Here is a screenshot from Premiere Elements and how this transition looks like in the final video.How can I prevent this? What is going wrong? I have the problem with about 10 of 120 scenes. Best regards,Martin 

When I press F1 or click on help then I don't get the help page.The URL is:http://192.147.130.58/chcservices/services/redirect?u=http://help.adobe.com&p=PremiereElements_2023&l=nl_NL&id=AH_HOME And de website page shows: How to solve this issue, because help page is really necesarry for the program.

Hi, I am using Premier Elements 18.  When I try to add a transition (for example, Cross Dissolve) I sometimes cannot set the duration to 0.  1 second is the lowest it goes.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  My clips are very short so the 1 second duration makes the video blurry because the transition is too long. Is there a better way to work with very short (3 - 5 second) clips?Thanks for any help on this,Novice...

I've added an adjustment layer with several effects to "video 2" so it will cover my entire video. While in premiere elements the video looks great so I use the "candid moments" feature to extract pics but the pics are only from the video and do not reflect effects I've put in adjustment layer. How can I fix that?   [Branched by moderator from an unrelated topic]

Wir erstellen viele Stop-Motion-Videos dazu haben wir APE14 auf Windows zu APE23 upgegradet.Auf Mac haben wir noch APE22...In der Version 14 und 22 werden die Fotos wie von uns auch gewünscht automatisch nach Name sortiert.In der Version 23 aber nicht mehr.  Die Sortierung ist komplett willkürlich wenn man mehrere Ordner importiert und ist somit leider komplett unbrauchbar diese Version. Leider finden wir keine Sortier-Möglichkeit.Gibt es eine Möglichkeit die Version 23 auf 22 downzugraden?Oder gibt es die Sortier-Möglichkeit irgendwo? Die Umstellung im Organizer oder Ähnlichem bringt keine Besserung.

Hi I was curious does elements happend to have a source monitor?

I use Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and had some work done on my PC recently. I know that this involved some work on the graphics card (s) because the technician mentioned this at the time. I have two graphics adapters: AMD Radeon HD 6570Intel (R) HD Graphics FamilyI had saved a project prior to this work but this is now pretty unviewable. All of the clips jerk and shudder and even when I select a single clip to open and view in the Clip Monitor the same distortion occurs. The clips are fine (they're stored on the PC and not some other disk) and can be viewed in generic software such as Windows Media Player etc.I've tried everything but cannot resolve.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Should I just go back to the technician? 

I am trying to create a slideshow for a memorial ceremony and have over 700 slides.  Premier only allows me to use 250 slides - how can I increase that limit? I am running the latest version.

Both Elements and Premiere Elements received updates tbis month. Do Adobe publish a list describing these updates? 

Element worked about 8 months ago, now when I start it I get a message saying its loading and nothing  

I checked prior to upgrading my ios and adobe premiere elements 15 was not listed as being at risk. Is there a way to get a free upgrade to the latest Premiere Elements that will work on my Mac? Interestingly, the Photoshop Elements 15 still seems to work. 

I have been using Premiere Elements 2020 since it first launched. I've had issues in the past with the application locking up or not having smooth playback, especially with HEVC files, which I could only use after the $0.99 4k download upgrade.  I was able to work with it, but was very aggravating.  Recently, in the last 2 months, I just upgraded to Windows 11.  It seemed to work fine for small projects ( nothing over 1 minute in length).  However, I'm trying to work with 4K footage and the application will not playback, load or sometimes the files won't even upload into the application, saying thet I can't run HEVC files.  When I open Premeire without any imported files in it (like a brand new project) my OS, a desktop, will begin to lock up as well, no matter what programs are running.  The Task Manager shows my memory is using over 50% when it's running. I have a ASUSTeK - 64 RAM, my processor is a AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor, 3400 Mhz, 6 C

I bought Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements 2022 in October 2022 and my computer died, Can I install it on a new computer or do I have to buy a new version?  

I'm having a similar issue as well. My Situation: Using the menu template, added a still .jpg to the Main Menu. Previewed it via Premier, exported to DVD .iso. Problem: When playing the DVD the still .jpg resizes to the point it's cutoff. The way the template is designed, there's a box that resembles a picture, my .jpg is within that background graphic but is cutoff due to resizing. I go back into the project, shrink it, preview it again but after export and playing same results.
