Hello, I just resolve my problem to install Premiere Element 11 on my Ultrabook.

The new problem is that Windows 8 is installed on this Ultrabook and, and Apple doesn't still uprgrate QuickTime to run on windows 8.

Do you think I really need it ?

For now I wait and it seems to run for my AVCHD files.

I suppose the problem will come with my MOV files ?

The link that I posted traces back to the Apple Home Page from where I downloaded by Quicktime 7.7.4 (latest version) 32 bit version.

That Quicktime 7.7.4 (latest version) 32 bit version is what I have on my Windows 8 64 bit and, as said, works fine to support Premiere Elements (any version's needs). Has been for over a year.

Here is one link that is online for the QuickTime (latest version)/Windows 8 64 bit.

I am still checking to see which download site I used in my case.

All has been working well since I installed Premiere Elements 11 and QuickTime (latest version) on my Windows 8 64 bit. And, that has been almost a year.

Yes you do need QuickTime, especially to have QuickTime presets in the Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime section of Premiere Elements 11. More also.

And, yes, QuickTime will install on Windows 8 64 bit. I have both Premiere Elements 11 and QuickTime (latest version) installed on by laptop that has a Windows 8 64 bit operating system.

Where are you getting your QuickTime information from?

If necessary, I will post the specific information on my QuickTime download in my Windows 8 64 bit computer environment.

More soon.

I am surprised that Apple has not updated QT Player for Win8, but then do not have Win8 on any machines. I do see that QT Player 7 does not list Win8, as a host OS, but since I have not read of issues with QT Player and Win8, would suspect that it does work with that OS - but others, with Win8, will need to confirm that for you.

PrE does rely on QT Player, even beyond just handling certain Apple files, so I would install it, when there is a Win8 version available.

Good luck,

Hunt
