External HDD’s (Hard Disk Drives) are everywhere, and quite popular. These allow one to increase the storage capacity of a system greatly, quickly and easily, for not that much money. We now have many sizes, and many connection types. Some connection types are better than others, if one is doing more than off-loading data to archive it, and perhaps free up internal HDD space. With the right connection type, one can also edit to/from the external HDD’s. Again, some connection types are better than others. Note: for editing Video, the physical HDD’s need to be at least 7200 RPM.For simple archiving, any connection type will work well. In that process, files are just written to the external HDD, and when needed, read from the external HDD. The problem comes in, when one tries to edit to/from the external HDD. Most current computers are faster than the slower connection types can manage. The OS is firing commands for reads/writes too fast. The OS expects rapid response, and can overwhelm t

I'm using exactly the same installation of Premiere Elements 2021 on two different machines. When rendering the working area (Render Button or Enter key), the PC starts rendering while playing the working area, my Laptop shows a "Render information" popup showing the rendering progress. Is there any way to control the behavior ? I only found "Play after rendering" option, but that does not change the appearance or not of the popup. Thanx for any ideas.

I am trying to adjust my audio fade out by using the yellow ribbon in the audio track (I was successful on one clip). Now it is not showing up. I have looked everywhere and don't seem to find anything that will make it show. How do I make this show so I can adjust the fade in fade out to my likeing?

I have Premier Elements 2021 and an up-to-date PC with plenty Ram and all up to date drivers. Generally working well but whilst in PE it will not export to Youtube. However if I go into Organiser select the file Organiser will then export to You tube why?    [title and text edited by mod]

Trying to capture video from my old Sony DV camcorder...My Windows 10 pc recognizes the camera, which is connected to a Firewire cable and port, but Elements is not seeing it. Any ideas why that might be?..This device is on the list of supported dvices...I have a brand-new Dell PC with Intel Core i7 and 2 graphics cards - Intel UHD 630 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super

How do I get the frame size for the work space to set at 1920 x 1080 on my Premiere Elements 2021 so I can then upload the finished video to Youtube/Vimeo at the full frame size in HD without the black bars? 

Hi, anybody knows how to turn on polish fonts / polish signs in subtitles or text in Premiere Elements 2020? 

PrE 2021 still doesn't support HEVC video files at least not the version used by latest iPhones when shooting HDR video.  Adobe support spent over an hour remotely trying different things on my system and finally gave up.  They sent me an email that said, "The HEVC files from iPhone 12 are reported to have issues with Adobe Premiere Elements. We have raised the request to our engineering team and they are investigating a fix.  At the moment, we do not have a workaround, but we will share an update via email."Interestingly enough Adobe Premiere Rush on the PC imports the same HEVC without any issues, so Adobe knows how to do it they just need to fix PrE 2021 and issue an update.  In the meantime, there are several video format converters available such as Uniconverter or you can edit the videos on the phone with several different video editing apps.  Note that although you can import the files in Premiere Rush, either the IOS app or the PC version

Have they improved handling of HEVC files in AP2021?I have serious issues with HEVC files from GoPro in AP2020 including:Problem1: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-elements/ape-2020-scrambles-2-7k-120fps/m-p/10841754?page=1Problem 2: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-elements/cross-dissolve-transition-not-working-with-hevc-files-pe2020/m-p/11218109?page=1Problem3: AP2020 freezes when working with high frame rate (slow motion) video from GoPro I’ll try to install trial version but it might behave differently to full version due to lack of GPU acceleration.

My timeline at times starts to scroll left or right when I move the mouse off the timeline area. In the past I have been able to click around and it would finall behave normally. But today no dice. It I move mouse to top, left or right of timeline area it takes off. Using Win 8.1.

I purchased a download version of Premiere Elements 2021 this week.  I was able to install it. But when I try to launch it I get as far as a window that says "Loading PlayerMediaCore.pm" and then it freezes. What should I try to make it work? Thanks

I will not buy a 4k camera, but I did want to test my new computer with some 4k video   I downloaded some sample files from https://4ksamples.tumblr.com/   I have the HEIF and HEVC codecs... I didn't install them, so I presume they came with Win10   H.264 and HEVC inside an MP4 wrapper work... HEVC inside an ENCM wrapper won't play or load   Anyway, the MP4 files work just fine on the timeline, I don't notice any playback delaysor artifacts... so my computer with Premiere Elements 2021 works just fine with 4k video   My build is at https://community.adobe.com/t5/video-hardware/a-fast-video-editing-computer-build-for-2-000/td-p/11707151?page=1

After spending 2 hours editing a video I can't export it.  I get this error.  Anybody know a fix?   

I am currently unable to output any of my projects. It says I need to Activate Component (MPEG2 Component). And to activate it, it provided this link http://www.adobe.com/go/premiereel_encoder. That page no longer exists and I'm unable to activate the encoder.    Are there other ways to Activate this component? Adobe Premiere Elements 9, Windows 7

Hi I'm using a Windows Essentails trial (Video editor) to identify how to capture recordings from a camcorder. The Hi8 tapes are generally 90 minutes long. When capturing the recording, it only allows the file capture to be AVI format. A 90 minutes recording is therefore huge. It tells me that the 15Gb left on my hard drive will only allow a 44 minutes recording. I cannot change the import format as AVI is the only import standard. Is there a better way (more efficient) to record 90 minutes from tapes?Thanks 

Hi, I've been diving into PE2018 and now PE2021 this year like I didn't expect. But alas, in this weird year of 2020, what else is there to do but learn cool new skills. 🙂 I'm a singer and a musician and this year have been learning how to produce virtual choir videos. We're currently on our 9th project. I posted a few days ago some questions about the new Draw tool in PE2021. In this current project, I have 30 tracks for choir singers, 1 for a soloist, and a few more for music, static background image, titles and credits. I have used the Draw tool on 30 of the choir tracks. This is bogging down my PC much more than in previous projects. So, I've a few questions about PCs and video cards. Please let me know if this is not the right forum to post these questions. As a musician, I build my PCs, optimized for audio work. Here are the specs of my current machine, roughly 5 yrs old: i7 5820K (Haswell E), ASRock X99 Extreme 4 sys board, 32GB DDR4-2132, OS = Win 10, Samsung

I was wondering if I could upload videos off of PE 2020 to 60 fps and how to do it? Thank you all

This post is almost 3 years old, but I have this same issue as described above.  I've been recently using Adobe Premier Elements for video creation again (it's been a while).  A long time ago I used to use older versions of Adobe on an older PC and I loved it (circa 2005-2012).  Now, I've re-inherited my daughters college PC with AdobePE 2018 on it and was going to work on some projects again.  No matter what type of clip I import I can't get the audio to play.  The clips are MOV and MTS format, and can be played on windows media player so I know the audio tracks are embedded in them.  I've tried different headsets, changed the Audio Hardware preferences - every device I try including embedded PC speakers, USB headsets and simple audio jack connected devices show as "not working" and I get an MME error when I change devices to try.  I'm stumped.  I don't even see an audio sound track underneath the clip when I import the videos.  Any tips?

www.busyboxx.com has a collection of animated titles for After Effects (and Apple Motion and Final Cut Pro X), but I don't have After Effects, just Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements (v2021).  It looks like I couldn't use any of those titles without having AE -- it looks like Premiere Elements can't use AE files -- but I just wanted to make sure, if anyone here can answer that definitively for me. And assuming that this is true, are there any basic, cheaper alternatives that would allow me to use the animated titles? Thanks in advance for any information!

I've been trying to create a motion with the pre-made "bezier" option in keyframes. In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InrN097tg_E at 4:26 (I don't know if I'm allowed to post yt links), it mentions these 2 bars that are adjustable to make some type of curved line. However, I don't have premiere PRO, so I am wondering, is there a way to do this in premiere elements and how to do it?

HI. I am using Adobe Premier Elements for Mac, Version 18. 2020 and finding the Greenscreen option lacking. I note that there are more options in the Windows version. Has this been improved for Mac in 2021 version? If so, has enough been changed to make it worth while to upgrade and how much is the cost?Thanks Mike

Hi Guys & Girls,This is probably a rookie question but here we go .... I have exported videos I have made (just SD not even HD or 4K) and love the mp4 exports and color. But as soon as I uplaod clips to YouTube the color saturation takes a noticable dip.I have keep the project and export as per the orrigial content size (720x576 @25F/p) but it is really bad, dark and loses overall quallity. Just a reminder again Im working on Premiere Elemets 2020Any help to get my YoutTube to match my exports?Thank you!! 

I am using PRE 2019 on a Windows 10 PC to work on a movie that was originally a VHS video and the audio has a lot of background hiss.  I am trying to use the DeNoiser effect but whatever settings I select there is no apparent change to the noise.  I think that there must be some very basic thing that I am doing wrong.  Can you help please?

Bonjour, J'ai réinitialié mon Mac book pro et depuis Premiere elements 2019 ne se lance plus.Il s'installe sans soucis mais lorsque je le lance j'ai un message qui dit "Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application" je l'ai désinstallé et réinstallé plusieurs fois mais rien à faire. Comment faire pour régler ce problème?

Hello again!I have two copies of PRE one on my Toshiba Satellite laptop and one on the desktop. 9 is on the laptop and 15 on the desktop. I have had some odd occurrences lately whilst capturing some old holiday videos on VHS. If I capture using a USB device to PRE9 on the laptop, the capture goes ok as an AVI file. However, when I put the file on the timeline it only shows the first minute. If I use the software that came with the USB device the audio lags by about 8 secs.I also have a Panasonic DVD recorder if I use that to capture the VHS footage and transfer it to DVD it seems fine. I then capture from the DVD into PRE15 on the desktop and bits are missing from the footage. I captured a  30min video onto the Panasonic then copied to DVD. The DVD had two VOB files. Copy the two VOB files to PRE15 it shows both VOB files and total time is 30mins, but the last 5 mins of the first VOB file are not there. If I play the DVD the missing footage is there and plays fine. If I capture th
