You could say that, but I suggest not.  The main purpose of the program is to produce videos for consumption for DVDs,  Blu-Rays, memory sticks for your TV, media servers, social media and on.  One is YouTube.  For YouTube to work automatically from Premier Elements, several things have to be in a perfect sequence from your computer connection to the internet, YouTube's security protected servers and all the connections in between.  At least one, or more, password is involved.  If one link in the chain breaks, the process fails and you get frustrated.  All that is on top of what has already been stated about how YouTube changes their requirements.  If you are running two year old software, there will be at least a few changes at YouTube while you own it.  Your choice is to adapt to a two step method, update to a newer copy of Premier Elements or find something else.   If you know, understand and like the Premier Elements methods and procedures it might not be worth the work to master different software.  I've tried twice and came back! ...

"Stuff" changes at YouTube.  Adobe coders can get it right when Premier Elements is assembled.  For version 14, that work was done well over a year ago.   There is no way they can guess what YouTube will change or how it will "improve". The solution is to avoid all the variables.  Use Premier Elements to output the video to your computer.  Then use YouTube's uploader system to put it in their system.  It is two steps instead of one.  It is also more reliable, eliminates variables and may actually be quicker. Premier Elements has presets in the share dialogs for this. Good luck.... Bill ... View more

With so little information I can only take a guess.  Premier Elements, nor any other NLE, holds the video clips within a project.  Instead, it "indexes to" or "references" the source material where it was when the media is added to the project.  When the source is moved, deleted or changed, Premier Elements is lost and can't proceed. Depending on where the source media is, you may be able to establish a new link.  Or, you start over from scratch. Good luck.... Bill ... View more

You have not recieved an answer yet.  I've not used LUTS anywhere.  In my use of Premier Elements for a few years, I've not seen where it can be done.  However, there are color correction tools where you can adjust one clip and paste the adjustment to the rest of the clips on the timeline. Only recently have consumer cameras like the Sony RX100iv and Sony RX10ii had provisions for log profile shooting.  It will be interesting how that works into consumer NLE software.   ... View more

LR does work for video.  It may not work on some computers with all types of video files, but it is not completely broken!  I use it regularly for AVCHD/mts/m2ts and 4K/MP4 footage from Panasonic and Sony cameras.  I use Lightroom CC 2015.4 and import from SD cards in a card slot. I had a problem during 2015.3 that was fixed by replacing some .dll files.  The udate to 2014.4 had the correct .dll files.  There are a lot of video formats and sources.  Even with software that is primarily for video, there can be trouble with the variety of sources.   ...

I've not done this before, but I though it would be worth a try.  You didn't say which version of PrE you have.  I use 13 on Win10. I started a  new project using a project preset at 640x460.  I used DSLR > DSLR 640x480p60.  That gave me the right preview screen shape and ratio.  There may be other choices for 640x480. I use Add Media to load a 16:9 clip from an HD camera.  It displayed in that ratio with black bands top and bottom.  To fill the screen, I clicked in the middle of the preview window and "crop lines" appeared.  I slid them to fill the screen and then moved the image to pick the part I wanted to keep.   You will probably have to do this for each clip, but it is quick. I output using Computer > AVCHD, picked a MP4 preset, entered the Advanced settings and force a 640 x 480 ratio.  The output played in the 4:3 ratio on my computer. If someone knows a better way, please help! Bill ... View more

JimHess wrote: With the help of a fine gentleman in another forum, I have stumbled onto something that very well could solve the problem. Follow along through the steps. I tried it, and I didn't have the magenta cast in the driver preview. 1. In Lightroom, choose to let the printer manage the color. Yes, that's right. 2. In the printer driver, instead of choosing none in color management, choose ICC profile. 3. Where it says Auto, click on that drop-down, and you will have a list of all your paper profiles. 4. Choose the appropriate paper. Now, when you print and use the driver preview, the preview should be what you expect.  The drop-down labeled, "Printer Profile" is the one that will list Auto when you first open this dialog. Just change it to the paper profile you are using. Jim, I think you are doing what I suggested in choice #2 in post #6 above.  The difference is that I am printing on Canon paper and selected the paper in the print driver.  You are using Red River Paper and using their profiles.  Both methods turn off LR color management and turning on the printer color management.  The complexity of the variables really are amazing.  Sony makes my images, ASUS makes my monitor, Adobe interprets Sony's RAW recipe, Adobe creates data to send to the printer, Canon makes the printer, ink and driver and, in my case, Canon makes the paper and print profile.  That it can be made to work at all is impressive!

The print preview in the driver had a I bad magenta cast, but the print that I made using the Lightroom print module and appropriate ICC profiles was right. So it appears that you and I are having conflicting results. In the world of digital photography, computers, etc, I'm never surprised at conflicting results.  My preference would be to have it your way.  Perhaps I need to spend some time understanding ICC profiles.  So far, I've only used Canon paper, so think I have the right options selected. For now, I'm on a road trip and won't see my Pro-100 for awhile.  Experimentation will have to wait! I wish I could help "twinger.photos" a little more. Bill ... View more

There are two print previews.  One is the one everyone sees in LR.  The second is created by the Canon printer driver in a popup window over LR.  The print matches the popup.  So, for me, the shift took place  between the  between LR and the driver popup.   The sample below is a different print with a different printer as I am not in my office with the Canon Pro-100, but you can see the two previews.  In this case, the shift is not apparent.  As I wrote, it showed up with some pink cheeks. I think the typical Lightroom user must shoot Nikons and use Epson printers.  Canon Pro-100 (with rebates) is only $100, so probably falls of the "serious photographer's" priority list.  I shoot RAW with the tiny Sony RX100, so would be considered non-serious! In my case, if I get the Canon print driver preview to where I like it, the print will be fine.  I don't have a monitor calibrator. ... View more

JimHess wrote: What about your monitor profile? Are you sure it's okay? You might consider switching to a standard sRGB profile for your monitor and see if that helps. Or, if you have profile provided from the maker of your monitor, you could try using it. Something is really not right with your set up because your prints should match very closely. Jim, I don't think it is the monitor.  With the Pro-100, there is a print driver option to preview the print on the screen next to the LR monitor window.  In other words, on the same screen.  You can compare the two images and see if there is a visual match and you've got the image positioned on the paper correctly.  Since I saw a color shift between two samples of the same image on the same monitor in real time, any monitor issues are canceled out.  In my case the color shift was small and only showed up on images with my granddaughters cheeks!   Most of my other images have been OK.

I deeply apologize for the sarcasm.  I am jealous.  Where I live there are not photography stores big enough to test cameras, let alone printers.  I would have to buy all three and keep the one I want.  I admire your devotion to monochrome.  40 years ago I built a complete darkroom in my home so I could do the same with medium format film and paper.  I enjoyed it, but was not terribly successful. Recently I scanned a 40 year old negative that I had printed in my darkroom.  The results from the Pro-100 surpassed my old darkroom print.  Again, I apologize if I offended.  One of the things I like about any forum is the opportunity to communicate with people in other cultures.  I should have been more careful in my selection of words.  Bill ...
