Installed a trial version of premiere elements 2018. Tried a test to drop a video on the timeline but it is not displayed in a sort of preview box. Also the fullscreen mode gives no reaction. Just a big black screen.

HP 14" laptop

Core I5 7200

8gb RAM

Geforce 940MX

150Gb free diskspace

Not meeting system requirements?

Regards,

Luc

the test movie was created with a simple programma to drop my camera jpeg pictures in a sort of box to which music is added and a sort of flashy slideshow movie is created.

the pictures are jpegs of ca 100dpi

Luc,

The issue may not be your computer. Premiere Elements is intended to edit video from cameras. It doesn't even try to edit video from programs like that. There are too many "codec" variables to account for.

For slideshow videos, try putting the JPEGs directly into Premiere Elements just like you do for a video clip. Put them on the timeline and add music. It works very well and does not need much CPU power to make work.

Without more information, this is a guess.

With video editing minimum specifications are not always enough. A lot of video formats require some significant computer horsepower.

What is the size, type and source of the video clip?

just a simple clip for testing but also on a few pictures on the timeline there's no preview.
