Questions

Unless I set the program to display as "Full Screen"  the menus will not open.  The Import Media button doesn't open either.  The taskbar being set to 'hide" also seems to impact the issue.   A program that doesn't open any of the menus is well......... useless.   Setting it to "Full Screen" (so the double screen button is between the dash and the X) at least allows the menus to work. I've seen comments on this issue back in 2020.  It's almost April 2021.    Obviously this should never happen and demonstrates a significant amount of "non-standard" programming, but shouldn't it be fixed by now????

Which specific Premier Elements files should I backup? A number of projects have been created, Thanks,

Hi,I want to render a video in 120 fps.how do i do it? Thanks!

This happened when I received a bunch of Windows updates. I understand it to be a driver issue, but the newest drivers and software just don't seem to be compatible. What do I do? I now have horizontal green lines on my Adobe Premiere Elements preview screen now. They were never there before and appeared after some Windows updates. I have Premiere Elements 2021 with the recent update (20210127.daily.2235820)I'm running a Lenovo X1 Yoga Thinkpad with Windows 10I have the Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 adaptor with driver version 27.20.100.8337 now dated 6/16/2020 I searched Windows, Lenovo, and Intel for other drivers. I found an old one and installed it, which got rid of the green lines temporarily while causing other graphics issues in Windows. Then Windows updated my driver again to this one and the green lines are back. I can agree this is a driver issue, but I have the newest of everything! What do I do?

When making slide show videos, I include iinformation text/clips as explanatory note.  I choose Classic titles since it has a plain default black background and ample space for information.  The text color can be changed but I have not discovered a way to change the background color as could be done with APE9.  The preset Text/Clip do not provide a means to change the background color.  Has anyone discovered a way to change the bakcground color from default black to another?

Where is the one place? that you can change the name of your project that it goes into the entire project?  Thank you!!!

I have a 2019 iMac and pretty much all adobe products are making it crash since the Big Sur update and premiere is the absoulte worst. I can't even get a project started without it crashing. I have posted on the forum several times and they direct me to other posts saying these answers should solve your problem and the suggestions do not make anything better. I've done every fix reccomended and shared my screen with adobe tech support to figure out the issue and still nothing. I am tired of this. My computer is now basically useless. Adobe used to be the trusted option and now it's terrible. 

I am following the youtube videoUsing the Effect on Selection tool in Premiere Elements 2021, on Win10 PChttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlKUJzgcz94Upon selecting the blurr mask and by pressing the tracking button (and subsequent application of effect) the blue mask outline with handles disapppears and I cannot get it back. In the YouTube video the mask stays on.The effect of mask plus blurring is applied to the video, but possibility of re-tracking is lost. Thanks, A  

Hey community!Do you know, if there are any further templates of the "Video Story"-Part of Premiere Elements 2020?These templates are very specific to one topic (marriage, birthday, ...). I'm searching for a more general template.Thanx for answering!Fabi

I imported an existing video into Adobe Premiere Elements that is 05:53:00 and am using Premiere Elements to resave it using the export settings needed by my local public media station.  The final product needs to be exact, to the frame.  After saving with Premiere Elements, the final video is 05:52:19.  This won't work.  I need those frames back at the end of my video for the public media station to be able to use it.  How can I stop the program from dropping these frames?

Hi everyone. I have a project that I've been working on (only 3 minutes of content) and suddenly the program would freeze and crash everytime I opened the project. About a month ago I updated my Macbook Pro to the Big Sur operating system, which I today learned is not compatible with Elements 2020. My question is, why has the program and 3 different projects stopped working today, when they've been working just fine for weeks after updating my operating system? Please help. 

Premiere Elements will not render any clips for me. I have set the work area and tried clips imported from multiple sources and cameras without any sucess. If I click the render button it just starts playing the video timeline. With multiple clips on the timeline its playing at like 1fps so basically not usable.Just purchased this software but cant edit any videos with this issue. Hopefully someone has a simple solution.

I use the current Win 10 version (all updates) and PrE 2021 (also current updates).As a computer I use a Lenovo notebook with an Intel I7 1165G7, 16 GB and faster SSD (2TB)4k videos (without PrE) are played smoothly and smoothly without noticeably loading the CPU. 1. It often takes PrE 15-20 seconds to start; but sometimes up to a minute. 2. 4K videos are usually displayed very jerkily - more like a slide show. 3. But worst of all are the disturbances that PrE builds into the videos.This probably happens when using the codec function of the Intel Iris XE graphics.I tried the driver version 27.20.100.9168 and the beta 27.20.100.9313.In both cases I have disturbances in the picture (which of course are not in the original).If I don't use the Iris XE and have it created by the CPU, the results are error-free - but it takes an infinite amount of time.So there seems to be a conflict between PrE and the Intel driver. How can I actually report such a bug to Adobe.Is there

Hi all, Recently I've been trying to get Premiere Elements 2021 to render using my AMD Radeon RX480 GPU. I saw that this isn't in the list of compatible videocards and Elements uses the standard software renderer. But since the RX480 supports GPU Calculations (OpenCL 2.0 under current up-to-date drivers), I thought I'd run GPUSniffer.exe and find out what it thinks about my videocard. As expected: GPUSniffer reports back that my videocard is perfectly capable of doing GPU calculations. Isn't there a way to also let Premiere Elements know that it's capable of doing so? If not, why not? If so, then how do I do it? I'm not really fond of sitting for a couple of rendering hours twiddling my thumbs by making the CPU sweat while there is a better option right there sitting in front of me.

Hello, I'm using Premiere Elements 2020 to edit a 3 track video.  I have each the footage of my camera angles sync'd up on three tracks and I'm able to switch back and forth between camera angles by adusting the opacity of each of the videos on the separate tracks.  There is a place in one of the videos where I need to time stretch a scene (no sound).  I split the clip on either side of the scene in question to created a new clip that i want to stretch.  I then trimmed the clip on the right by dragging the red bracket to the right thinking I was making room for the time stretching.  As expected, there was now a space on that track. to allow for and extension of my new clip.  I attempted to then timestretch the newly created clip.  I wanted to slow it down.  I changed the speed to 50%.  As expected, the new clip increased in length by the appropriate amount.  BUT, and here's the problem (sorry for the long preamble), instead of the clip

Hola, a ver si sé explicarlo... Estoy importando imágenes PNG a Premiere para montar una animación. Los personajes están perfectamente recortados en el PNG (sin fondo), pero una vez en el programa, aparece un sutil pero visible contorno al rededor de cada imagen. Nunca me había pasado hasta ahora.Aquí pongo un ejemplo: He dibujado una cara completa con los ojos mirando hacia abajo, y en la capa/canal de arriba he colocado otra imagen en la que sólo he dibujado los ojos mirando hacia arriba. Se puede ver que toda la zona del ojo (incluyendo parte del color de sombra de la piel) ha quedado contorneada.También pongo otro ejemplo de un segundo personaje recortado colocado sobre un fondo, todo él tiene un contorno grisáceo/blanquecino.

Hi, I have a problem with Premiere Elements 2021, I click twice and the program does not open. installation carried out without any problems. Can you help me fix this? I will add that I removed the program and installed it from 2 times and still the same.

Hi everyone,I was using Premiere Elements 8 until today and I've just decided to update my setup 😉I've got a big problem when I import a video with Premiere Elements 2021 : the snapshot is ok but the video has psychedelic colors (green and pink) as shown in the screenshot. The only way I found to fix it is using the auto-smart-tone but it takes time.- this happens with any video: from YouTube or made with Samsung 7 or S21 etc.- no problem with pictures loaded (jpg)- no problem with my computer Windows 10, Photoshop etc.Maybe can someone help me?Thank you !

My Premiere starts and gets to eLive successfully, and even creates a new startup file. But when I try to open any of the three tabs (quick, guided or expert) It crashes. All of my graphics and system drivers are up-to-date. 

Somewhere during startup up Premiere Elements 2020 is searching for a network disk that I do not always have available. So when my NAS located at z:\ is not present the PE refuses to start. I get a screen where I am offered to send a crash report (which I have done but received no feedback).I have looked through all settings and changed default storage location to my D:\... which is always present. But still somewhere in a setting I am not able to locate there is a reference to this z:\ disk.The only clue I have is that after start up without doing any other changes and when I do "Lägg till media" and select the "Filer och mappar" (swedish version and I suppose it is "Add Media" and "Files and folders" respectively in the english version") the default location it is opening is "Z:\Stefan\Adobe\Premiere Elements\18.0". And I cannot find where this is configured. So somewhere in PE it is still referencing my "Z:\ disk".When the z:\ i mapped and available everything works fine. But I am g

Hi, I have a HUGE video file (506GB) -- converted from an old VHS tape from the 1980s. Wedding video 1 hour long.Format is MPEG-4 within an MP4 container.I load the file into Premiere Elements and it totally chokes -- takes forever to edit. No surpise there.Question: if I compress it, will I lose lots of detail? It was originally 720-480 and I upconverted it to 400% in Topaz.I need to do scene to scene light correction.Edit first (even though it will take forever and most likely crash PE OR compress first and then edit?

Hey all, I'm new to premier elements and I have a question about importing images (specifically, an image displaying text). The raw image is very clear even when zoomed in a lot, but when I put it in the timeline and play the video, it looks very fuzzy and it's hard to make out the letters. When I pause the video in the timeline, it's very clear. I tried rendering the whole video but it's still fuzzy and now after rendering, it's fuzzy even when paused. I'm afraid the result in the final video will be fuzzy. How can I correct this or will it be clear in the final product? thank you (I've attached a picture for an example)

I am having trouble burning a DVD with adobe premiere 14. It burns the disc with a region restricition so that it will play on some DVD players, but not others. I have burned discs in the past with the exact same settings and not had this issue so I am not sure what has changed and why it is putting a region restriction on the disc now. 

OK, so my computer just recently got installed with a new drive, and Dad redownloaded Premiere Elements 14 onto it like on my old drive, but now Premiere won't let me upload .webm files into it, and more importantly, whenever I export a video, the colours are all washed out. On my old laptop drive, Premiere would export videos perfectly, and there would be absolutely no quality or colour difference between the original file, and the video I edited and exported on Premiere. I've attached three screenshots so you can see. How do I stop this? It's driving me crazy, and it means I can't edit and export any episodes until it's fixed. What's going on and how do I get it back to the way it was before?

I'm editing iPhone app video for posting as the first screen in the Apple app store. Required size for the video is 750:1334, 9:16. I there a way to setup the initial video in portrait mode? Many posts for how to rotate a specific clip, but I need the whole video in portrait position. How to accomplish this? I'm using Windows 7 and Premiere Elements 12 and now 13.
