In Edit > Preferences > General,  there is a setting for the "Still Image Default Duration".  It is in frames.  If your project is set at 30 frames per second and this is set at 150, each photo will display for 5 seconds.

When you paid for Premier Elements, you bought a license that came with an activation code or "serial number" with 24 digits separated into groups of four.   If you bought a boxed version, it is in the box.  If you bought a download version, it was emailed to you.  Do you have it?  Did you enter it when you installed the program? ...

I suggest you are in the situation of trying to use a five year old version of Premier Elements with a combination of newer operating system, video card drivers and (maybe) cameras.   There have been several posts lately concerning various versions and conflicts with Nvidia driver updates.  Some have solved it by "rolling back" to old video driver versions. Updating to the newest Premier Elements apparently fixes things.  Please know that projects from the old version may not work with the new version.  It has to do with old features that were changed over time.  If you try to open an old project, consider opening a copy of it.  ...

This seems wrong, and like I said I have better luck editing photos on $450 ideapad laptop then my 2K laptop with m.2 and the samsung 950. Personally I feel like its a driver or compatibility issue with my Nvidia 1060 but who knows. I hope they are working on a new version and this is why they have not bothered to work on this problem? Who knows. I am nowhere near a professional and just want to be able to edit some photos of my dang kids without having to have the sliders jump all over trying to adjust exposure. I can't imagine what its like for somebody to have to do it every day. Speaking of alternatives is there anything out there at all that is close? I know capture one does well with edits but not cataloging so much. For family, private use a well respected alternative is Photoshop Elements.  It comes with "Organizer" for, well, organizing.  If you open a RAW file, you get almost the same sliders as Lightroom.  I forget how, but you can open "JPEG as RAW" for that too. It is on holiday sale now in a few places for $40.  I would be a happy user if I was not enjoying the challenge of learning the Lightroom/Photoshop CC system.  And, I should add, that I've not experienced slowness issues with Lightroom or Photoshop CC.  Nor, do I know why I don't experience slowness!

Either way, it will repeatedly ask you to enter the serial number when you install it.  If you haven't bought one yet on a box or download, it will give you the choice of running it for 30 days.  While in the trial mode it puts a watermark on your work.   It might be best to limit trial mode use to play, learning and testing.  When ready for a "real" project, it might be best to buy the license before starting.   Then you don't have to deal with the watermark. ...

The dialog window should open just like it would for sharing online, Bitrate, workbar area, etc. Select where you want it to save to, desktop, or wherever. Personally, I save it to an external hard drive because my disk is almost full. click "save." Depending on the length of you video, this will take some time as it converts the .prel file to a .mpeg or .mov Once that's done, a new file should appear where you saved it that is the .mpeg or .mov Close Adobe and open your browser and go into your YouTube. Once in your channel, there should be a little "upload" button you can click on in the upper right portion of your window. Click that upload button. Once in that screen you can either drag your .mov or .mpeg file or select it. Now YouTube will convert the file and put it on your page, this too, will take some time! Hope this helps!

With the young lady so square on to the camera, my preferred method would be to copy the other side of her mouth to a new layer, and Free Transform > Flip it to cover the other side of her mouth. It was ever so slightly lighter in tone, but a couple of strokes with the burn tool fixed that. This makes a much nicer fix than you'd easily get with the Healing brush. The reason I've become committed to trying to learn Photoshop is that sort of skill.  Thanks you for helping stay motivated! ... View more

I have only a couple thousand invested in gear, about 50,000 images and have never made a USA nickel.  Yet I share some of your feelings about easy ways of having friends and family have access to my images.  Have you explored some of the "mobile" features included with your CC subscription?  Only yesterday did I learn there is an opportunity to have an online, automated portfolio based on collections.  Adobe has a "myportfolio.com" you can use.

You didn't describe your output path. For me the best has been in the AVCHD path in Premier Elements 13.  I've been on 15 for a couple days and I think the path with the new interface is Publish&Share > Devices > Custom > Advanced button > Match Source button.  It should get you to the H.264 codec with frame rates, video settings and bitrates that mirror what you are shooting.  ...

Make sure you have the serial number. I don't know Apple, but you should be able to uninstall.  If you have the disk, do a fresh install.  If you downloaded it, use the install file you first downloaded.  If not, download a copy here:  Download Adobe Premiere Elements 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10 However, something else is wrong.  The difference from 14.0 to 14.1 is not a version, it is a minor fix of minor issues. Premier Elements makes backup files every 15 minutes or so.  On a PC, they are in a "Auto Save" folder.  Can you open one of those? To reset or delete the preference file, do one of the following: Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Mac: Option+Command+Shift) immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file. ... View more

Something (secret!) changed at YouTube and they may, or may not, do anything.  Adobe is not like likely to change to your "older" software version.  Instead, output to a file type you like to somewhere on your computer.  Log on to YouTube and use the YouTube uploading routine. When you output render a file for YouTube, you can try to match YouTube's suggestions.  However, as YouTube has changed to accommodate so many cameras and formats, it matters less.  I have a format I like for viewing on my own computers and TVs.  YouTube seems fine with it.  ...

So you do recommend that I purchase the program. Please confirm and thanks for the input. Regards, Dan Enzone Dan, Yes.  Premier Elements is a personal favorite.  I've paid to get versions 9, 10, 11, 13 and (yesterday) 15.  I skipped 12 and 14 because they didn't include changes significant to me.  I should confess to being, at least marginally, an Adobe fanboy.  I'm retired and a big part of my life is enjoying photography and videography.   Without Lightroom, Photoshop and Premier Elements, retirement would not be nearly as much fun. When you're ready, I and others can help you make an automated slideshow that can play on anything.  One caution....Premier Elements does not make the kind of slide show where the picture changes when you press a button.  Premier Elements is best for the kind that plays through with optional sound and narration. Another caution is that Premiere Elements does not run well on a weak computer.   It depends on both the computer and the type of material your are working on. Bill ... View more

You can make high quality slideshows that play on Blu-Ray players in Premier Elements.  You can also make high quality MP4s, copy them to a DVD disk and play them on most, or many, Blu-Ray players.   There are also slideshow options in Organizer that comes with Elements.  And, I'm sure you know of others.  I know nothing about it, but have read ProShow Gold is a favorite for many.  And, PowerPoint too! ...
