When I upload a video from Premiere Elements it does not show the video filling the screen. I am updated to the latest version, and I do not DIRECTLY post to YouTube through Adobe.

Hi all,I paid for a stock video and it's a .mov file. It has a transparent background. When I try importing it into Elements (I have 2020) it gives me this error: The importer reported a generic error So I hopped into Movavi and converted the .mov to a .mov for fun, and re-imported to Elements and it worked fine. However, it removed the transparent background. I'm at a complete loss how to fix this issue or why Elements can't open the file to begin with. Any help would be appreciated, or how to maintain transparency when trying to re-convert it to allow Elements to import. Thank you.

Hello everybody, I have an image in Premiere Elements as a clip on the timeline. Now I want all four edges of the image to be more soft and smooth. I found that the "Edge Feather" effect does exactly what I want, just that it only applies to the horizontal edges of the clip at the top and the bottom. The vertical edges on the left and right of the image remain untouched. The image is not cropped or anything, and is also resized to totally fit the frame. See the attachment.Is this intended, or just another bug? In the small preview picture in the effects panel, it look like the softening should be done with all four edges. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 2020 to edit videos, which has worked rather smoothly. However, lately, every time I open a certain project, folders appear on my desktop (I am using a Macbook). The folders are called "Adobe Premiere Elements Audio Previews", "Encoded Files", "Layouts", "Adobe Premiere Elements Captured Audio".... and so on. Whenever I delete these folders and reopen the project, they just immediately reappear on my desktop. How can I change where these folders are "stored"?

Hello,Instagram videos are backwards in the sense they require the size to be 1080x1920. I don't see how to create this size in Elements. Can someone please help?Thank you!

I make videos to playback while on my rowing machine.I take 50 or 60 videos, edit them down to about one-miute each, and then add photos I have taken. The problem I encountered is the time-stretch defaults to 4 seconds for the photos. I would like to make each photo last about 8 or 9 seconds during playback.When I "highlight" the photos to stretch the time to 8 or 9 seconds, the audio opens gaps between each song I have on the timeline.Is there some way to: 1) FREEZE the Audio that I have already added to the project so it won't change when I add the photos, or 2) Change the default setting for the photos from 4 seconds to 8 or 9 seconds before I begin adding them to the timeline?Thanks,Larry

I submitted this request to fix a bug a week ago and still no answer from Adobe.   I have discovered an annoying bug in PE 2021.  If you copy a line of text (CTRL+ C) before launching PE 2021, there is nothing to paste (CTRL + V) once you launch PE 2021 and attempt to rename the new project for instance.  Step to reproduce bug:Copy to clipboard the name of a folder that you want to use as the project nameLaunch PE 2021File/New Project and paste the content of the clipboard to the line project “Name”Result: nothing to paste – Need to copy folder name only once PE 2021 has been launched. Can anyone at Adobe fix this bug?

Hello guys. Ive have been getting to know Elements 15 for the past week (after previously using Sony Vegas)I have 2 main issues, but in this topic i would like to talk about and ask why, when i cut my clips and join them together i hear an audio pop between the clips.Its very frustrating because it happens only on some of the clips, but other portions of the video that i have cut and joined together are fine.I am using Windows 10 with 12gb ram, 64bit.The video files are 4k.I have read some previous posts on this subject which mention codes and upto date versions etc, but surely this cant be the case if half of the transitions are prefect with no 'pop' and the other half are popping. They are popping randomly through the video.I have tried to retrim the clips and join again to no avail. Really really annoying and cant send out a video in this condition.Hoping you guys might have a solution. Thanks.

I use Adobe Premiere ElementsI can create and export, to my computer, a beautiful video.I use the pictures and videos I have taken using my camera's.  I use a GoPro Hero 7 Black and my Samsung 8 Phone.  The details of the created video (after export) are: 1920 * 1080  / Date Rate 16080 kbps / Total bitrate 16277 kbps and the frame rate is 20.60 frames /second  /  The size is 968 MB.   (I take this information from Properties/Details)  When I click Export and Share and then Disc I come up with the following DVD Choices   SD720*480 and theframe rate is 29.97   I chose Disc under type and destination is my DVD Writer on my new HP desktop.   I then choose Burn - end result?  a very very poor quality video with moving grasses on the still photos and grainy shimmering movements on the camera videos. Now - I have also tried to burn this same video using (Roxio, Magix, Photostage and Windows Media Player)

I have a licensing issue. I have 3 hard drives with Elements Premier loaded.  1st, 2nd, and now 3rd.  2nd PC went bad, I got a 3rd PC and reinstalled Elements from a backup.  But wasn't able/didn't remove Elements from the 2nd PC (although I saved the hard drive and installed into the 3rd PC as drive 'E'.  When I run Elements from the 3rd PC, I get a message telling me that I am already running 2 copies and cannot run a third until I delete one.  I would like to keep the copy running on the 1st hard drive (as backup), and get rid of the copy (not running) on the 2nd PC. Any thoughts on this issue - how to get rid of the license on the 2nd hard drive that I will not be using?    

Hallo liebe Community, vor genau einer Woche habe ich mein erstes Video geschnitten mit dem Adobe Premiere Elements 2020 Programm. Alles funktionierte einwandtfrei. Ein paar Tage später habe ich ein neues Projekt angelegt. Der einzige Unterschied war, dass die Videodateien teils aus der GoPro waren und teils vom Handy (keine Ahnung ob das eine Rolle spielt). Sobald ich eines der Videos in die Spur einfüge bekomme ich nun grüne horizontale Linien (s. Bild). Ich dachte vielleicht liegt es an den unterschiedlichen Videodateien, deshalb habe ich anschließend wie beim ersten Video, wo alles fehlerfrei funktioniert hat, nochmal ein neues Projekt angelegt mit einem einzelnen GoPro Video mit der selben Framrate wie vom ersten Video. Leider kommen die grünen Streifen nun immer, egal was ich versuche. Ich lese seit Tagen online nach Fehlerbehebungen, das Problem wurde ähnlich beschrieben bei Premiere Rush, Pro usw. und da war es wohl ein Treiberfehler. Der dort genannte Treiber ist aber nur

I recently created a photo/music video in Premier Elements 2018. I saved all, then exported the video to a flash drive. This was done on 9/14/18. I went to this video today, 11/6/18, and all of the photos are missing, being replaced with a red and black image in each photo, but my jpg names are still there.  The audio portion is still there and works fine, but all photos are no longer showing. I created a video prior to this one back in March of 2018 and again in October 2018, and both of those still have the photos in the creation when I open them up.

I have downloaded a trial version of 2021 adobe premiere elements, and subsequenntly bought it. I was given the 24 bit serial number, but I seem unable to findthe route to register it on the buy systen. I am faced with  the unusable trial version.My expertise is low level. 

I can add audio caption to a picture, when clicking on the loudspeaker icon on the buttom-right of the picture. Hoever, I could not replace that original recording later, although the menu leads to to something reasonable by Edit>Clear, then record after pressing the red button, then click again to stop, then File > Close then save.Only way out is by deleting the audio capture file vi the Windows file manager, then recording a fresh caption.Any experiance on this?

I recently plugged my SD card into a reader into my laptops USB port, like I have many times before. I tried to upload videos from my card to Premiere Elements. All of the files were unable to open on either the software or my laptop there afterwards. After plugging my SD back into another laptop as well as the one I was using, the SD card was unreadable and needed to be formatted. Files still readable on my DSLR camera. After decided to format the card on my laptop, format was unsuccessful and now card is unable to read on my DSLR. Why did this happen? How can I prevent this from happening?

Need to Invert Imported VideoI am new to Premiere Elements and am struggling trying to learn how to Invert the imported video media file.The video is from a GoPro Camera and is upside down because of the camera orientation during recording.Need to invert video so that it appears right side up.Thanks for any help,     KY2IAWDID

I have purchased a new PC, and have installed my old hard drive from my previous PC as drive 'E'.  I mistakenly assumed that I would be able to execute my adobe elements 15 app from the 'E' drive.   But I was wrong.  I presume that I need to transfer the app from the 'E' drive to the 'C' drive.  (I no longer have the old PC). My questions & concerns:1) How can I remove the app from 'E' and install to 'C'.  The app will not run on 'E', so i cannot use any of the Adobe remove/reinstall options.  2) I originally purhased the app from Dell/Adobe, and do not have any disks (I downloaded the app for installation).

hiI am just working through a trial of Premiere Elements 2021 as I am making some instruction videos.  I am wanting to add text instructions over my video which will be several lines of text at a decent readable size, however I have only found how to put a title on there which only gives a maximum space of characters with size that just isnt enough...Is there another way to work round this in the program?Thanks

hi again ok,,, I am still playing around.. I have had to alter the preference settings on the default input to "no input" in order to hear any music on my video.I am now wanting to put a narration over the top of this but when I go to record, it says I cant as I have no input.I then deleted the background music and amended the default input to "microphone array" but that again came up as not working Help... why can I not do both?  Is this a fault in the program, or the trial?  Is there a workround for this? Thanks

My Premiere Elements does not (preview) render cuts that consist of less then 10 frames. I would like to know if this is a general bug or if this is just happening to me. This never happened to me in PRE2018 but in PRE2021 is constantly causing my timeline to stutter (after rendering) and it's pretty annoying. Steps to reproduce:- Import a clip- Cut the clip down to 9 frames- Add an adjustment so the indicator turns orange and clip would need rendering (e.g. Color Temp)- Hit Render- Short cut will not render and indicator will stay orange Before y'all start questioning 'why the heck would you need this?': I just need it, period. Sure, I can alter my timeline with work a rounds so I can avoid these short cuts but I feel this shouldn't be necessary. Leaving it unrendered (orange) will often cause my whole timeline to stutter because PRE is usually incapable of 'catching' up once it starts stuttering.

When I go to export my video to YouTube, The log in for YouTube never comes up in the grey box

How do I fix this?

I am admittedly not tech savy. I have converted old home movies to an SD card. I am looking for software that is relativly easy to use to download these into my computer and edit them somewhat to inprove the quality. As in sharpening and or brightening or darkening. Im really wanting to finish the process so I can show them to my 86 year old mother before her time comes. I would appericate any direction I can get about getting some appropriate software?Thanks So Much,Sue

Do I need Creative Cloud installed on my PC to use Adobe Premiere Elements 2021 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021?
