Re: Videos coming out as green when imported into premiere elements.

I'm using Premier Elements 2020 on a Macbook Air, and trying to do my first video using stills. When I drag some of the stills from the Project Assets onto the timeline, they appear just as a green box. The image appears OK in the monitor, but I'd like to see it on the timeline to aid in editing. How can I see the correct image on the timeline?

If possible can you please share some of the clips. You can share those using DropBox or GoogleDrive.

Thanks Abhay. Here's a link to two photos in dropbox. Today these photos appear correctly on the timeline, but appear as green boxes in Project Assets.

Steve, I expect my photos are pretty large. I'll get back on this.


Steve, my photos are 8 to 15 MB.

Open the video track by clicking the toggle on the track header. Tracks other than Video 1 and Audio 1 are collapsed by default to save vertical space.

Steve, the tracks are on Video 1 and this track is open.
