    In Premiere Elements is my video a prel file.

    I can click on the right button and the film  moves one frame  , I clicked on the left button and the film moves one frame back. I can use the pg down and the pg up button and the time indicator responds . But the other buttons: space button and the buttons fast forwarts and fast back do not respond.

    Are you saying you output a movie from Premiere Elements but can't play it?

    What video format did you output it as?

    (You of course can not play a .prel file since it is not a video file but a project file.)

    I try it again, perhaps I was not so clear.

    I have a laptop ASUS VivoBook 17 with Windows 10 version 10.0.17134 Build 17134

    I work with with Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 and Premiere Elements 15.

    I made in my Photoshop presentations and i want to make a movie from the presentations.

    I open Premiere Elements  and go Import media. First I go to my maps and folders and imported a video I made with my Samsung Mobile. Then I go to Elements Organizer to pick my presentations. From the projectside I put them on the line Video 1. Of course, I like to see, what I have done and I click  on the play button, but nothing happened. I, click on the right and the left button, and my film is moving forward and back step by step. I can also click on PG down and the time indicator goes to the end. I can click on PG up and the time indicator went to the beginning. But the quick forward and quick backward button didn't do anything either.

    I can only seen my film when I move the time indicator.

    Please, do you know how to activate the play/stop button?

    Thanks for the description, Dorry. I found an article for troubleshooting the playback issues in Premiere Elements. Check this out: Solutions for playback issues with Premiere Elements

    Let me know if it helps.

    If you still face the issue, could share a video recording of what happens when you play the timeline?

    Thanks,
