Hello

What does this pop up mean, plse? I get it when I try to edit a clip in Prem Elements 11. The Adobe link referred to, does not exist.

At one time, MPEGs were a third-party plug-in in Premiere Elements and you needed to activate the plug-in the first time you used that software. That was a decade ago, however, and Adobe has long shut down the activation link. If you are just installing this old piece of software, you will not be able to activate this important component.

 

Try installing the free trial of the current version of the program. That MIGHT install the MPEG component, and you will then be able to use it with version 11.

Hello Steve

Thank you for your reply.

I bought 11 from Adobe a while ago but have since changed PCs. I will try installing it again - maybe better luck next time.

Thanks again.

Based on what Steve said, reinstalling that old version will not activate the component, since the activation link is gone

 

Trying what he said might work, or you might need to buy the current version
