Premiere Elements

I am trying to change an M4A file to an MP3 in order to edit it in Adobe Premiere Elements 18. When I drop the file into the editior it says: Importer has reported a generic error message.Thanks for any help 

I am currently trialing Premiere elements 2022 and was wondering if I can add my own music scores to my movies rather than using the ones with the software?

Hello. I have had Adobe Premiere Elements 2020 for about a month and a half now, and everything has been great. Zero issues that werent user error. But this morning when I woke up to continue editing a YouTube video, I found that my playback speed was unusually fast. And not just for one clip, its like the video was playing in 2x speed. I havent tried exporting it yet, but I will after this is posted. Also, the music that I have playing in the background is very choppy and is also sped up, I've searched Google, Reddit, here, etc and I haven't found anything on how to fix this issue within Elements. I found one for Premiere Pro, but the layouts are so different I couldnt use that answer. Anything helps, thank you in advance.

I have just upgraded my Premier Element to the new 2022, due to a problem I had with my old version. But I have the same problem with the new version. I import media from a webcam. The file is 1.5 Gb and it takes about 9 minutes to play. When this file is opened in Adobes timeline it is reduced to only 2 minutes. If I open this file in any other programs than Adobe the hole file plays at 9 minutes. What is wrong? I am using Win 10.

Adobe Premiere Elements 2022 is unable to start properly when I was at 82% of exporting the video I did in 3840x2160 60fps and it had an export error. I need help, I closed all the apps, turned off autosave, and reduced the resolution. But nothing worked.

Hello.  Last week my video editor suddenly stopped working.  I am not positive but I believe the computer had run an update.  When I tried to reopen Adobe Premier Elements 2018 Video Editor I got the following image. The blue bar underneath the video editor tab continues to run like it is trying to load but after 1/2 hour of trying nothing happened.  I tried to uninstall and then reinstall using my serial number. However, I get the same issue.Any ideas on where to begin looking for a solution would be greatly appreciated.  As a SIDE NOTE, I did notice that there was an offer to upgrade to the NEW "AUTO REFRAME" for 2022 could this possibly be interfering with performance of the program?

Dear,Editing MTS camcorder video files (1920x1080). Is there a big difference of quality between the export options: A/ exporting quickly (the first option, in dutch it is called 'snel exporteren') 1280x7206074 kbps, 30 frames/sec B/ adapting (apparaten aangepast) the export myself to  1920 x 108014.945 kbps25 frames /sec  Logically I would go for B/ as it is equal to the original.This option gives bigger files, what I understand.But why isn't this one of the main options? And what is the damage when exporting to A: with smaller frame definition, more frames/sec (!?!) and a much lower bitrate.Both have the MP4 extension. Secondly: it is only possible to export to Avi in 720x576. format. Why? I do not understand.  Thanks and kind regards,Patrick      

 I just got the latest Elements/Premiere 2022 package a couple weeks ago.  When making a video and inserting a couple clips on the time line and then viewing it I notice at times the video will pause until I hit the start arrow buton again.  Once I save (export?) the video I never have any pauses and all seems fine.  Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?  I typically have the camera video setting at 29fps and shutter speed set at 1/60th.  I pick an aperture I deem appropriate, shoot in manual mode and set the ISO for automatic mode. Any help for a video novice would be appreciated.

Hi, I have been used to create Disc Menus with Chapters in Premiere Elements 2014. I purchased Premiere Elements 2021 recently, and this version has no option to burn Bluray Disc containing the Disc Menus as in Elements 2014. The only comparable option is to create a movie containing Disc Menus in mp4 format and to save it into hard disc. The problem is that my Disc Menus included in a movie are not showed when the movie is played  in VLC, W Media Player or KODI. Therefore I don´t see menus, I canť skip the chapters etc.... Does anyone know how to solve this or what am I doing wrong way? Creating Disc Menus or should I use some special setting in movie players?  Thanks, Petr

I'm using PE 2021. I want to overlay 2 videos and I want one video to be 100% on right and the other to be 100% on the let of the screen but I want them to blend into each other in the middle- trying todoa memory effect in a music video. I was thinking I could do this with garbage matte but 1. new version of garbage matte doesn't have any 'points' for me to grab and drag. Only numbers to assign to points. Too time consuming for me to expereiment hit or miss with.  And if I was able to figure that out, how would I fade or blend the edges of the matte area into the rest of the video?  I've searched on youtube for tutorials on this kind of thing but no luck! THANKS!!

Hi Group, This is my first question/post and trust I'm doing it right. I'm using Premiere Elements and trying to stop my project from repeating every time I get to the end of my Timeline. I then have to manually drag or fast forward to the end. I have researched like crazy if there's an auto-loop button somewhere, but no luck I'm reaching out if you or anybody else can help, thanks.    Ted

Old video files that need converted for clipped and I'm not sure Adobe Premiere will support them all with Windows 10.  File types are AVI, DIVX, ASF, MPEG, WMV, MP4 and FLV.  Can anyone tell me if these all work with Premiere?  

When I go to "clip", "time stretch" the speed box is greyed and and can't be accessed.Any suggestions on a fix?

Is there a way in Prem Elements to add multiple markers at certain beats to a music clip? I've tried he Beat Marker function and it doesn't work properly. I've tried a few different settings. In Prem Pro, I can double click the music clip, play it and mark each beat simply by pushing the M key. I was hoping there was something similar in Prem Elements.  Thanks in advance.

Haven't done a slideshow for 2 years and having a problem.     I have downloaded photos and dragged onto project bar but they are not appearing in monitor panel.    Anybody any suggestions please?    Ann 

I've been searching for an answer to this to no avail: I have Premiere Elements 9, which has been adequate, and I didn't have the money to upgrade.  Now I'm ready to do so, but the newest version 2021 (and now 2022) requires a PC with a sixth-generation processor.  Mine is only second-generation.  I checked older versions and found the newest version I can run is v2020.  I was able to download it as a trial version and it does run OK, but I can't figure out how to buy it.  When I try, I'm taken to the page to buy the latest version, which I can't run.  If I buy v2022, will that activate v2020?  Is there some way to buy an older version that I'm not seeing?  I can find it on eBay but it costs much more than buying direct from Adobe, which has it on sale frequently.  It will likely be several years before a 6th-gen PC is cheap enough for me to buy one, and I'd like to use a newer version of PE long before then!

I want to download video from my Sony DCR camcorder using a firewire connection, but Premiere Elements doesn’t seems to recognize the device.  I can play video using WinDV.  Doing a Google search (I am new to Adobe Premier) it seems like in previous versions you cannot use a firewire and Adobe Premiere to download video.  Is this correct?  Is it best to use WinDV for all video?  I have about 20 cassettes worth of video I would like to download.  Is the quality using WinDV good or is there a better option?  Thank you in advance.

Hi, Can I open a Premiere Pro working file inside Premiere Elements? An editor wants to share a timeline from Premiere Pro for me to work off of… but I’m not sure if that will work.

Hi!For Fade Out there is Blend Mode dropdown with lots of options.- when set to Normal it fades out to black.- when set it to any other option - it doesn't fade out at all.Why? 

I have a new hi end PC using windows 10 with Premiere Elements 2022 loaded. Video that is crisp on another PC using elements 15, is very poor when editing on my new pc? Particularly the freeze frame images. I dropped video into the timeline first to ensure the presets recognised my video correctly.

Working with PE2021 on a WIN10 PC... When I insert a .jpg file into the timeline that is a photo or screenshot from a Smartphone, the graphic is scaled to the vertical limits with significant black bars left & right.  "Scale To Framesize" is enabled for this graphic.  Thats understood. What I am at a loss to find out it how to move this graphic to the right-hand-side of the frame so that I can add some explanatory text in Video 2 to the left of the graphic. All advice gratefully received.
