Premiere Elements

Product/Version/OS: Adobe Premiere Elements 2026 — Version 26.0.0 (20251104.PRE.65345cd3) macOS Tahoe 26.2 Hardware: Macbook Pro M3 Max  Problem:I’m trying to key out a green screen clip and replace the background. My green screen footage looks normal and in full color before applying the key. As soon as I apply Ultra Key to the green screen clip and select the green background with the eyedropper, the foreground subject (me) becomes grayscale/grey (looks like desaturated/black-and-white). This happens even if I place a colorful background video underneath. Important: it’s not just a preview issue — the exported video also shows the subject in grayscale. Steps to reproduce: Import a green screen clip (subject in front of green background). Clip is full color normally. Place clip on V2. Place any background video/image on V1 (optional; subject still turns gray even without background). Add Ultra Key to the V2 clip. Use eyedropper to select the green background as Key Color.

I re-loaded Premier Elements 2021 onto a machine I’ve been using for years, when Win 10 got corrupted and needed a fresh install. Whenever I load a template file, to bring in the parameters I want to start with (1080p, etc), it creates a batch of unwanted folders on my desktop (Autosave, Layout, etc). I have repeatedly opened Preferences, then Scratch Disks, and inserted the name of a folder (which is on a solid-state drive other than the one where my Premier Element project files are located, and other than the drive I save my mp4 files to). But, as soon as I close Premier Elements, it wipes out those folder names, and goes back to “desktop scattering” mode, the next time I open it. How can I get it to save, and use, the folder location I keep asking and telling it to use?

HiI’m looking for a way to Change 'Duration' of multiple slides… I have found this thread: Changing multiple slide lengths at once? CS6 | Community However I cannot see where on the properties on the right this can be done.  I am on APE 2024, so maybe it is slightly different. Thanks!

The floating timeline is not working in adobe premiere elements 2026, also after adobe service support said that the problem is solved and the case closed, the problem is stil there, also after the new update.

After upgrade to version 26.0.0 the effect “Blend” is missing. I used it to change the opacity of source clips. Does this effect now have another name or is there another way to change blend modes/opacity of source clips? 

Hello!I'm aware that there have been similar question asked before, but I feel that my case might be a bit different, since I couldn't find a solution to my problem.So, I have a few questions about exporting on Adobe Premiere Elements 12. I create gaming videos on YouTube. I record console games with Elgato HD (in 720p 60 fps) and PC games with Fraps (in 1080p 60 fps). The raw, non-edited video is in great quality. However, when I export the edited video, my quality drops. It's still good, but not as good as the original footage, which bothers me. I know for sure I have something wrong with my exporting settings, but I can't figure out what. I've tried rising the bitrate, but even when I set it to as high as it's possible, the quality doesn't match the original.Here are the settings I've used to export my Fraps recorded videos:Videos are usually edited to about 20-30 minutes, and with these settings the exporting takes about 2 hours.But here's the one thing that confuses me. The source

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 2024 and I just received a message saying it cannot open/launch because the disk is full. I have no idea what that means and how do I fix it? 

We have two versions of Premiere Elements, 2023 & 2025.  A 1920X1080 movie is imported into both and both are exported with selected device of 1920X1080.  The 2023 version seems to produce a size like 1400X ????.  We have tried everything even to match the frame size.   The 2025 version has no problem exporting correctly.  One of the suggestions was to look at sequence settings, but it is either hidden or not available on the 2023 version.   Any thoughts?

When I "Show Properties" of a clip, the list does not show the clip's length.  I want to customize the list view to include that property.  I'm unable to follow how to do that as explained on Adobe's page "Viewing clip properties" .  Step one is "Open the Project Assets panel".  Did that.  Step two is "Right-click in the Media view and choose Edit Columns.  Ensure that you select an area outside the rows containing the assets."Sooo, where is that? I've right clicked all over, and have yet to see "Edit Columns" appear.  Must be simple, but I just don't get it!

I have been using 2014 and now 2025. I bought 2025 thinking I would move up but the change was to great.Lately in 2014 when importing a file from disc the the video is playing at half speed and the audio is correct.I moved the same file to 2025 and it did the same thing.I have searched and it appears to be something to do with frame rate????What could have changed to cause this new problem?

My wife doesn't fly, so when I was making a DVD of my recent trip http://www.direct2usales.com/V2025.HTM with version 2021.4 the program locked up.I started over, and the same thing happened... I restarted my Win11 computer and another lockup.I switched to a different menu and the program worked... so, if you have v2021 and have a program lockup while making a DVD try switching to a different menu to see if that fixes the problem.Menu Holidays-->Summer Beach is what caused my problem

Title says it. How do I take a MOGRT file and add it to Premiere Elements?  I currently have to use chroma key on my motion graphics and they turn out grainy. I would like to just upload the original MOGRT file so the quality is better. I cannot seem to find out how to do this in Elements. 

i want to create a highlight reel but after click on create button, the"detecting scenes with group of people and detecting scenes with interesting light and...." always show with out end.What should i do?

Neu verwende ich Premiere Elements 25 (vorher 18). Wenn ich zusätzliche Fotos in ein bestehendes Projekt importieren will, blockiert das Programm und ich muss mit Ctrl/Alt/Del den PC runterfahren. Was mache ich falsch? Danke für Eure Hilfe Mirjam

Hello,In Magix Video deluxe, I am used to using the mouse to fade in and out the video and audio tracks at any point in the clip, which is possible in Premiere Elements using the right mouse button (I searched for a keyboard shortcut but couldn't find one, and I didn't find this function in the keyboard shortcut customisation dialogue either), but only at the beginning (fade in) and at the end (fade out).I find it essential, especially for the audio track, to be able to lower the volume at any point, e.g. – and above all – at the beginning of spoken text and again at the end.Is this possible in Elements?Kind regardsAlooha

I can`t import video clips into Adobe Premier Elements 2026. The videos were shot on IPhone 13 and transfered to the hard drive of a Windows 10 computer. The computer can read the videos using the Photos app. The IPhone settings for the recorded videos had high efficiency as the storage format.Is there anything I can do?Did I buy the program for nothing?

I just purchased 2026 Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements bundle. I can create a video and export it to a Media file or to a number of social media sites but I cannot find a way to burn a DVD or create a DVD .iso file from the video I have created.  I have reviewed numer of posting showing a pull down on the "Export & Share" button on the upper right portion of the editor display.  On my version there is not a pull down indication.  The only option is to press the button.  Afterward a window on the left side of the display opens with an option to save a media  file or to export the video to a number of social media sites. Additonally I don't seem to have a way to create a DVD menus or to edit Book Marks although I can create them.I have installed copies several time and on several computers with the same results. Anyone have any ideas?

PE 2025 - didn't have this issue on previous versions.   Example:  Clip A is next to Clip B - If I cut/trim the end of A, 1-2 frames then attach to B.  Most times I can trim these off (but I can't spend forever doing this on every cut), but other times it does not work.  I can keep trimming, but the erroneous frame stays attached. Example:  This one doesn't even involve cutting.  Clip A has no surrounding clips.  Empty timline on both sides.  If I move A next to clip B, at the point they join, Clip A now has a 1-2 black empty frames attached to it (from before when it has blank space on both sides). No matter if I clear Media Cache, delete the clips off the timeline, and then reinsert them, the issue remains.  I've got to resolve this because it's on nearly every cut point.  Can anyone school me on resolving this and/or why this occurs?

Upgraded yesterday from 2022 to 2026.Now have no audio and getting messages "MME device internal error. Do you want to open the Hardware preference?" and...."One or more clips in this project had their Audio Volume set to Bypass. The control formerly called "Bypass" has been replaced with "Mute". You will need to switch to use the Fx button instead, otherwise your audio may be silent."I'm not at all techie but have tried to find a solution but failed.Can aybody help? Luckily I still have 2022 which works perfectly.John

Hallo, wo finde ich in der Version 2026 das Werkzeug "Bewegungsverfolgung"? Gruß Uli

I just purchased PE 2026, I have never used any video editing software, so I am an absolute beginner.What I would like to do should be simple, but I can't figure it out. I just installed a dash camera system on my motorcycle, it has two cameras. One front facing, one rear facing.I would like to create a video with the front camera using the whole screen with a small box at the lower right showing the rear facing view. Thanks in advance...

where are premier guided effects in this software??

I have tried several times to Export and Share a video using 'Quick Export' to create an mp4 file that I can then use to burn a DVD.  Every time I try this I now get a message at 100% saying that there is an EXPORT ERROR OK.  What am I doing wrong please?  I might add that I have successfully completed this task on a previous project on the same PC.ThanlsPeter 

I know this is an end of life product that is no longer supported and Adobe support referred me here because they could not help me.  I am trying to re-install this on my laptop after a hard drive failure.  Dummy me never backed up my serial number somewhere.  When I go to enter the redemtion code to obtain the serial number, Adobe says it is associated to another Adobe ID.  Problem is I have no idea what email address was used for that.  I have tried every email address I can think of but none have accounts.  contacting support they said they can't look that information up.  This was a boxed version with an install DVD and included redemption code that I honestly don't think needed an Adobe account to redeem the code back then.  As stated before, I already installed this same product before on my laptop so it worked before.  Any ideas?  Any way I can find out which Adobe account this redemtion code is tied to so I can try to get into i
