Make a disc menu etc in 2021

[Xx5FCD]

Hello fellow sufferers!

Just got premiere elements 2021 and want to try a disc with a menu.

Not connected to internet.

Got 6 videos on the timeline

There is only one template, 6 parts.

Can see the videos in each of the menu blocks.

Changed a couple of titles.

On the adobe website, the relevant page was not found

Preview disc window is blank

Other than back to pinnacle studio 12.1...

Where do i go now?

Thanks all

How do i edit a post on this forum?

[Xx5FCD]

It is on a 30 trial.

That may limit what can be done.

[Steve Grisetti]

You do need to be connected to the internet in order to download all of the templates.

Though with all the clipped sentences, it's not exactly clear what your issue is. I don't know what you mean by "There is only one template 6 parts" and "Preview disc video is blank."

[Ann Bens]

If you want more thumbnails you set more menu markers and more pages (scene selection) will appear.

[Xx5FCD]

Thanks but you are deeper than i need.

When i click preview the screen popup is blank.

There is no preview!

The template has areas for six videos. They all have them.

Please keep trying as i only have this for a month.

Thanks

It gets worse

New file

Put any video on the timeline

Press the litle triangle to play and....nothing happens!

Thanks all

The computer is probably not good enough for the software.

The computer is probably not good enough for the software. 

What are the computer specifications?  All video editing software needs a "more than minumum" computer before it works well.

thanks everyone

[anon125]

here are some specs.

i assume the processor is not up to the task for premiere 2021

[Ann Bens]

You machine is way underpowered.

Internet and wordprocessing will do just fine.

[anon125]

thanks Ann
