Premiere Elements

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

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.

I must be missing something or maybe it got corrupted.Gary

I put this in a video clip now I want to edit it. I can't seem to edit it becausae all I can select is the main image instead of the text I installed in there.  So I was going to install a new one but now I cannot find where I got it from. It is an image of a 57 Chevy and a juke box.

I am on a tight deadline and editing a video with many clips -- all video. The first time I tried a pan/zoom on a short video clip (:20)  it caused the timeline to stop playing. I tried multiple times and tried deleting the clip and starting over, and it always causes the timeline play button to stop working. I am able to manually move the timeline play head (blue down arrow thingy) so the program is not crashed. I have read many posts from previous versions of PE but didn't find a solution to try. I tried rendering but it did not change. I have to close and reopen the program. Would appreciate some suggestions! Pan and Zoom should work on video as well as still images, correct? Steve's demos seem to all use a still image so wanted to rule that out first. Next, I will try pan/zoom using Keyframe, but would like to know if there is an issue with the simple pan and zoom feature, or if I am missing something. Thanks!My system: PE 2023 on a desktop running Win 10, AMD R

I use Premiere Elements ver 21 on Windows. When I drag a music file from Project Assets to the Music Track a blank space gets added above on the Video 1 Track the same size as the music I added.How can I prevent this?Thanks,Sharon

Ik moet een paar opnamen van een video verwijderen die zeer kort bij elkaar liggen verwijderen hoe doe ik dat

Hi.I have some clips that I had to splice together.  Of course they are all a bit off from each other.  I had to zoom this one in, rotate that one, slide one to the side a bit, etc.  Now that I got them all in line so the subject matter is centered, how can I then crop the whole thing to cut off the top/bottom/side since things don't like up any more?I figured I could export the video and then edit that video and crop it, but is there a way to do the crop within the project itself?Thanks.

Hi all,I have Adobe Premiere Elements 2023, and I have a 7h long movie I am trying to export into 1080p MP4 format. Throughout the movie there are overlayed mp3s which show and play fine in the timeline. Upon completion of the export and playing the file, none of the mp3 music has come through, but normal audio from any segments where it was left in is still there, as is any music scores I have added from within Premiere (eg: Afternoon Sun track, etc). I have tested playing the mp4 in VLC and via Plex, it's definitely not there (and obviously the giveaway that something has gone wrong is that other audio is present). For the export preset I have chosen TV, HD/1080p 16:9 in High quality using H.264. The automatic audio selection is AAC which I haven't touched. Any suggestions? Thanks!

working with a client who's just learning premiere elements 2023 on a new macstudio with the idea that I'll help him via zoom and then do the final finish in Premiere pro 2023...  I tested the workflow on a windows machine, and I was able to open the .prel in Premiere pro 2023.  Now that we're deep into the editing I figured I'd see if his .prel would open on my new macstudio (the client's working on an identical mac).  Gave me this message when I tried to open it...  But booted up the windows machine and was able to open it and save it as a premiere pro project and then bring that over to the mac...  a royal pain.  Am I missing something?  Luckily I still have the windows machine...  

Hello, I am trying to import video clips from my iPhone into Premiere Elements 2023 (v21.0). When I try, I get the following error:Unable to import mediaYour system needs to be configured to import HEVC or HEIF type of media. Click on 'Learn more' to know how to enable these formats for import. I think I have tried pretty much all the online how-to's so now I'm stuck. Here is all the info so far: - Computer is a recent model Windows 11 laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti- Clip is a .MOV file taken on an iPhone, it is (only) 1920x1080 (standard HD) @ 30 FPS- Phone is an iPhone 13 Pro running the latest software.- I had previously (99.9% sure) had the Microsoft HEVC extensions installed. .MOV files played fine on the computer. However I could not find any reference to the HEVC codec or MS HEVC extensions on the laptop so, to be sure, I downloaded and installed the extensions from the Store today - see screenshot.- I followed the Adobe help text at this link:&nbs
