    Nothing that I know of has changed. 

    What is your hardware acceleration setting?  On or off?  What are your project settings and output settings.

    Hi, Thanks for your reply.

    Since I posted my question I have managed to find a way

    round the issue. When I first upgraded to the 2018 version I tested a 3 minute -

    mod video – from my camera and it worked ok, rendered the same speed and was

    normal. Then I deleted the old premier elements 14 to give me more space on my

    hard drive. That was then when it was taking ages to render a 1 minute video,

    after 20 minutes it had done only 20% so I gave up. I then run the mod video

    through “Handbrake” to convert it to a MP4 file and that same file works fine. Since

    then I have created several 20 minute videos and were rendered in a few minutes.

    The new 2018 version will render MP4

    files ok but not from my camera mod files. Something has changed in the new version.

    I hope Adobe can correct it to work like the 14 version. Using “handbrake” to

    convert to MP4 files is not the way I want to continue as it is extra work to

    edit video. It should work the same as version 14 as no settings have changed

    on my machine I only upgraded. It seems that the 2018 version used some file or

    files from version 14 until I deleted it.

    man me too, i had the old version and it was great but now i cannot export my video in 1080, when i try the "devices, computer 1080 HD", all i get is a video with black screen and the audio


    Adobe told me they would call me back and send the weird files it was producing to their tech's, then email me, but nothing.....no call.....no email....
