If your problem is exactly the same, you should start by using exactly the same solution that worked for the original poster.

Yes. The iPad option was added in version 10. Glad you found a solution regardless!

For the Samsung, I would recommend using Share/Portable Device/iPad. Click the Advanced button and, on the Advanced settings panel, set the output size for 1920x1080. (When you close the panel, you'll have the option of saving this as a permanent preset, in case you need it again later.) That should give you an optimized hi-def mp4. Assuming, of course, that your original footage and project were set up as hi-def video. And assuming the Samsung has, as you seem to say, a built-in player device of some kind.

To reuse your hi-def video in another hi-def project, use Share/Computer/MPEG with the 1440x1080 30i preset. This will produce an m2t/mts video that will work perfectly in a project set up for HDV. That doesn't mean it's the ideal format for every use, Ted. As I keep saying, the best output format depends on what you're planning to do with it. There is no generic "mp4" output format, for instance, any more than there's a one-size-fits-all MPEG output format. It depends on what you're going to do with the mp4 after you output it.

As I said above, you not only have the choice of outputting an mp4 from Premiere Elements, you have SEVERAL options, depending on the quality and compression level you're looking for. How do you plan to share this video? On the web? on a BluRay disc? on an iPad or iPod? Each of these demands its own unique kind of mp4.

Well, there's nothing at all wrong with using a third-party encoder. Even After Effects is complimented with one.

Try the Share/Portable Device/iPad setting and see what you think of the results. This setting produces a nice, compact, high-quality mp4 file. At most, they may have to install the free Quicktime player -- but probably not.

There are many forms of MP4 and many quality levels and resolutions. What do you plan to do with this MP4? Use it as a media file in a new project? Output a BluRay? Watch it on your computer? Watch it on an iPad or iPad? Knowing how you're going to use it will help determine which Share method to use to create it. BTW, no matter which method you use, if it's a true MP4, you can change the suffix of the file to .mp4 if you want to. It makes no difference as long as your media player can read the codec.

The Export function was removed a couple of generations ago. All video is output using Share.

Why not just drag the yellow horizontal audio level line down on each clip? Only takes a second.

And now you're finally getting to the bottom line, Koen! Instead of thinking file formats -- think about how you want to use or display your file. As Neale says, there are optimal settings for creating a file to view online. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/623549?tstart=0 If you start at the end, it's always easier to work back to the beginning.

Well, there is no one definition of an avi or an mp4, Koen. An AVI is just a package, an envelope. What's inside it can be made up of any of thousands of codecs (compression systems), from DV to Divx and anything in between. So some AVIs are large and others are very small. Likewise, MP4s are usually created using the H.264 codec -- but often are not. Sometimes product makers create their own codecs in order to, for instance, squeeze lots of video onto a very small memory card. In addition, MP4s can be created at a variety of quality levels. An MP4 you view online, for instance, can be very different (and a very different size) than one you view on your iPad. In other words, comparing MP4s to AVIs is not only like comparing apples to oranges -- it's like comparing any of thousands of varieties of apples to any of hundreds of varieties of oranges.

It all depends on how deeply you edit and which interface you feel more comfortable in. If you can afford it, Premiere Pro is definitely the way to go. But don't sell Premiere Elements short. It's an amazingly powerful editing app! And both are available for the Mac as well as the PC. Why not download the free trials of each and give them a test drive?

Unlike when you shoot a photo this way, rotating a video is a lot more complicated. In fact, you may actually lose some of the video because when you rotate the video the video frame remains the same. You also can't just save the rotated video, as you could with a photo. To rotate your video, place it on the timeline, right-click on it and select Rotate. To output a permanently rotated version of your video, use Share/Computer/AVI and select the DV preset.

I highly recommend you contact Adobe Tech Support. And dont' be afraid to ask for a supervisor if the person who answers the phone can't help you. Not only will they likely be able to troubleshoot the problem -- but it will also make Adobe aware that there is a problem!

Premiere Elements 9 does indeed include a project setting for editing 24p AVCHD. Did you select that preset when you created your Premiere Elements project? Also, it may be better to start your own thread to continue this discussion. We're already way down at the bottom of a very old, almost unrelated thread here, and your post is liable to get lost.

Yeow, jneil! I don't think you're going to be able to work with those MOV files in Premiere Elements. Although Premiere Elements 9 has greatly expanded the number of formats it supports -- those look like very non-standard files and frame sizes. What type of camcorder did they come from and how did you get them into your computer?

As I said, Lapino. It's not Adobe that's put this limitation on the software. It's the third-party component providers who will only grant activation licenses to registered versions of the product. On the one hand, if you're able to work with this video in version 8, I can practically guarantee it will work better in version 9! But on the other hand -- good point. It's a shame you can't actually test it with the trial version. Sorry.

The trial version of the PROGRAM itself is fully functional. However, some of the third-party components are not, unfortunately. These include some MPEG and AVCHD components.

That camcorder shoots in 1920x1080 AVCHD with stereo (not 5.1) audio. Did you select that project preset when you opened your project? As I say in my books, matching your source video to the proper project settings is singularly important in creating a successful project. (My version 9 books includes a chart showing which project settings to use for most video sources.)

As I point out in my books, it is possible -- and, in many cases, even recommended -- to turn off the Auto Analyzer in the Elements Organizer. (You can still manually select to run the Analyzer on one or a batch of clips at a time if you'd like.) This option to turn this feature off is under Edit/Preferences. Unless you are using the Smart Tags for metadata, the only major disadvantage to turning off the Auto Analyzer is that unanalyzed video clips will not receive the option to be Auto Enhanced/Smart Fixed when you add them to your Premiere Elements timeline. So, unless you're highly dependent on that tool you won't even notice the difference in anything except the greatly improved performance of the programs.

Well said, Dave. But Adobe is no fool. They know the competition is tough, and your supporters can sour on you in a moment (As the folks at Quark well know). Here's hoping for great, solid performance in the next version!

I agree with Neale. The only way you'll know for sure if the program is doing its job is to output a DVD and watch it on your TV. From everything you describe, it sure sounds like an incompatible video card driver. I assume you've updated to the latest from the ATI or nVidia site. But are you using a 64-bit operating system (like Windows 7 64-bit)? It could well be that the driver is not yet fully compatible with this 32-bit program. In any event, the problem is clearly somewhere in the card's driver.

What type of camcorder is your AVI coming from and how did you get it into your computer? What Premiere Elements project settings are you using? When you add these files to your timeline, do you see a red horizontal line above them? If so, you have a mismatch of source file and project setting. How are you playing back your video? You're not looking at it full-screen on your computer, are you? Computer screens have many times the resolution of video and any video played at full-screen on a computer is going to look pixelated.

As I detail in my books, there are actually a couple of ways to do this in Premiere Elements. The easiest is to right-click on the video on your timeline and select Time Stretch. Set the playback speed to -100 (negative 100)%.
