Questions

I cant open or use my Premiere Elements 2021. The system asks me to register, but I keep getting an error message. Is there any way I can recover this app and use it again?

I am a beginner when it comes to video editing. I have many videos that I would like to do something with but when I try I don’t get very far.Today I wanted to simply rotate the video from portrait to landscape. That is not an option under quick. The help forum suggested going to an option that does not appear on my software (or at least on “Quick” page I am using. I know I have figured it out before, so it can be done, but why is there not a simple option to rotate?Moving the file from Adobe Photoshop Element to Adobe Premier Elements results in error box saying there is a Clip Mismatch Warning. I haven’t started a project yet and this is the clip so what does that even mean?When I want to save something i wants to call it “My New Video Project” and wants to save it in the software program. I feel like it should intuitively know to save it in my Elements Organizer location because it does that for photos edited.I would also like to be able to go frame by frame through the video and gr

how to apply to selected videoclips an effect that I have saved ?

__________________________ I already registered my 24-digit serial number when I bought the product in April 2024. When I try to register it again on the Adobe website, it throws the error: "This serial number is already in use". However, when I check my "Registered Products" section in my Adobe Account dashboard, it only shows an old Version 12 from 2016, and the 2024 version is nowhere to be found. I am completely stuck in a loop: the website says it is already registered, but it doesn't give me any download button for the 2024 version. I just need a clean offline installer (.exe) for Windows 11 that I can activate with my legitimate perpetual license.

I can’t find this being answered. I need to take GoPro Max 2 Footage in to Elements into a 9:16 (vertical) aspect ratio project. I can bring in a wide aspect ratio video and the VR options button appears under the preview, but I can’t get the VR options button to appear when I create the project as a vertical video. I’m struggling to see what I am missing. I’m hoping to do all my keyframing in Premiere Elements instead of making all those choices in GoPro Player. Sorry. Kinda a noob here.

Premiere Elements 2026 Installed Successfully but Won't Launch (Windows Surface)I recently purchased Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 2026 and installed them on my Windows Surface device. Before purchasing, I verified that my system met the compatibility requirements and had sufficient available resources.The installation appears to complete successfully, but none of the applications will launch. Specifically, I cannot open:Organizer Photo Editor Video EditorBecause the applications never open, I'm unable to access settings, preferences, or any in-app troubleshooting options.So far, I have:Uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times Rebooted the device several times Tried various troubleshooting suggestions I found onlineAt this point, I'm hesitant to continue trying random troubleshooting steps without understanding the underlying cause. I'd really like to identify why the applications are failing to launch rather than continuing with trial-and-error fixes.I'm also trying to co

I have a premiere pro 2019 perpetual license. I reloaded my pc which I have used with the software before ( hard drive crashed) now, adobe will not load because of 2026 requirements even tho I am loading 2019 software on a pc that had been running the software before the crash.  Is there a way to reinstall and bypass the 2026 requirments? ThanksCVIJR

I’ve been regularly compiling short video clips into approx. 10 min videos using Premiere Elements 2025 (and ver 2022 before that).  The source of the clips is varied, typically from trail cameras (1080 x 1920 @ 30fps or 1296 x 2304 @ 20fps ), occasionally from a pixel phone (sometimes 1080 @ 30fps, sometimes 4k @ 60fps), a Nikon Z8 (4k @60fps).I normally drop in a 1080 x 1920 @ 30fps clip to set the sequence setting before dragging in the remaining clips.  I usually output to 1080 or 720 at 30fps.  Been doing this for years without issue.  Something has changed.  Starting a few days ago numerous, but not all, clips are very blurry in the preview window.  Rendering does not help.  If I export, the blur remains as in preview. Premiere 2025, Win 11, Dell 3030, NIVIDA GeForce RTX 3050Adding a single clip usually results in a clear preview, adding multiple clips results in numerous blurry clips but not all from the same camera or same settings (properties).  Interestingly, sometimes a blur

My Premiere Elements 15 won't start anymore. It says the serial number is no longer valid and that I need to have it reactivated by support.But “Contact Support” link from the error message doesn’t take me to an email form or anything like that—it just leads to a generic support page.How do I contact support?How can I reset or reactivate my serial number?What’s all this nonsense anyway? I bought the program legitimately 9 years ago and I don’t think I’ve ever uninstalled it—it’s gone through all the Windows updates, and now it just doesn’t work anymore???

I want to omit the blank period at the beginning and end of text that I’ve added to a video (Default Roll) and have found instructions that tell me: Using ‘Expert’, go to the main programme, select Text > Roll / Crawl options, then uncheck the ‘Start off’ and ‘End off’ and adjust to 0 frames. That doesn’t work as there are no Roll / Crawl options available that I can find anywhere. What is going wrong here? 

Hello all.    I was able to offline activate my old photoshop elements 12 on my windows 10 laptop so i thought maybe i should get a version of premiere elements that will work with my laptop specs since it cant handle any of the new software.  So i went and got Premiere elements 14 and photoshop elements 14 from ebay (i know dumb idea).  the seller said it was new and sealed so i gave it a shot. i registered the serial number for premiere elements 14 and it went thru ok.  when i tried to do offline activation i get the serial number has been revoked when i try to get the request/response code to offline activate.    is there a way around this or is it still possible to transfer a serial number or license that will make this work even if i have to pay adobe a fee?   I was able to offline activate photoshop elements 12 so im sure i will be able to offline activate premiere elements 12 for my windows 10 laptop if i have to.  i was hoping to actually put premiere elements 12 and photoshop

Has anyone had Premiere Elements 2025 out right delete one of their video files?  I imported a single clip, was going to trim excess, and export about a 8 second clip.  Made it to export, names the file, and off to the races… or not.  After a few moments, a large Adobe error box popped up (wish I would have screen shotted it now).  Closed the box.  The file preview in the Project Assets panel showed broken.  Went to Windows Explorer, and the original file was GONE.  Completely gone.  Not in the recycle bin at all, and nowhere on the drive.  GONE.  Fortunately, this file wasn’t super important… but it could have been.  It had not yet been backed up because it was a test, but it now has me concerned that PE could do this to any of my files.  Has anyone had this happen?

I am making a video project in the latest version of Premiere Elements: Adobe Premiere Elements 2026. I am wanting to add credits to the end of my video. I have been using Premiere Elements for many years and have always found different credits options in the titles menu. It appears to me that these credits templates are no longer available in the 2026 version. This is extremely frustrating to me as something I've relied on for many years has now disappeared. I'm starting to regret updating to this version of Premiere Elements. Please let me know if there's another way to make scrolling credits in the project. The "roll" checkbox does not appear in the text editing window since I'm not using the Pro version.

Hello, after laptop reset I just reinstalled premiere elements I purchased in 2014. Installation is OK but at software launch I have an Adobe popup message that requests to sign in. Sign-in is OK and detected but afer the popup disappear, nothing happens. The software never launch.I don't remember I had to sign-in when I used it before reinstallation.Any idea ?   

I’m installing my existing software on a new device. Photoshop Elements 2022 installed and activated without issues, but Premiere Elements wouldn’t bring up the option to enter an activation code. It just went straight to “install from DVD” or “start trial”. I’ve gone through all the steps the chatbot suggests, and of course I can’t access live chat because I bought my software prior to monthly subscription becoming mandatory. I have a feeling I know what the answer is and that it’s “Adobe has made it mandatory to use a newer version so you can be strongarmed into paying a monthly subscription”, in which case it’s time for me to go and find other software because I won’t be doing that, but in case there’s something I’ve missed - is there a way for me to activate the software I bought and paid for and know how to use? Am I obliged to keep my old device solely in order to use Premiere Elements on it? 

why cant I delete content in elements organizer? it has 3 disused videos and about 9 folder icons with question marks in them

I organize my images by year taken folders, then date-event folders.. I import my images from my camera’s SD card plugged into my Windows 11 system. When I import them I set the location to my main image location and subfolders: E:\Pictures\<year>\<Shot date>Then, if needed I move the images into dates-event folder, say, 2024-Grand Canyon. Which may be a multi-day trip.I’m pretty sure if I didn’t move them, PSE would find ones I already imported. But because I moved them to different folders, if I again import from the same SD card to import newer images, PSE doesn’t find the older ones as duplicates.Is there a way to enable PSE 2022 to find these moved duplicates? Or am I limited to deselecting the already imported images in the import dialog.
