Simple answer: You're going to have to convert those VOB files from the camcorder's disk to DV-AVIs. Then you'll be able to work with them in Premiere Elements. Here's free software that will do the conversion. http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc4800e Once you've done that, you'll have no problems ...

Both of these issues are related to using VOBs/MPEGs as source files, Jimmy. If you convert your files to DV-AVIs before you import them into Premiere Elements, they'll look and work great! Here's how: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc4800e DVD camcorder video files, unfortunately, are not a good...

I third the suggestions so far. Your experience is common with video captured by another program (especially when captured over USB) and then edited in Premiere Elements. MPEGs often seem to work the entire way through a project -- and then show video or audio problems when you burn your DVD. This i...

No, you won't be able to turn the AVIs back into slides, once you export them as a movie from a project and import them into your final mix. But that's kind of the point: The final mix will contain only completed AVIs, the ideal format for Premiere Elements, and that will make for a very smooth, rel...

If he's like most instructors, you'll never be able to truly convince him he was wrong, Helen. But at least you'll know!

There is no problem with having several versions of these programs on the same machine -- neither legally nor technically. You may find, however, that only one of the Premiere Elements versions will capture and/or output to tape or DVD and that auto-launching interfaces to your USB-connected camera ...

Glad it was an easy fix, Ted!

True, version 4 had some pretty short-sighted design, particularly when it came to the ability to customize the work area. Here's how I'm doing it now. Though, like you, I'm hoping the next version will allow for, at the very least, the Timeline and Properties panels to be some place where I can wor...

Premiere Elements is continually linking to the source files so, if you change them in any way (size, for instance), they will be automatically updated in Premiere Elements. Although note that, if you use Process Multiple Files to create NEW photos in a NEW location, you'll obviously have to re-link...

Here it is. As you can see Videolady's challenge was the she let the "easy" switch on, which didn't allow you the manual switch to pass-through.

"the VHS footage plays in PE4 video capture window however I'm unable to record the footage. " Can you give us more details about what you're doing, Ted? Is there a cassette in your miniDV camcorder? (There shouldn't be.) Have you turned off the Scene Detect and Stop Capture on Dropped Fra...

Lots of fun stuff here, Greg! Great job!

The full version of Photoshop is a professional editing app. Among its extended features are the ability to edit in CMYK, create animated graphics and GIFs and create files with layer sets and non-square pixels. If you have a need for the extra features, then you definitely need the full CS3 version...

Congrats on your success, Gailouise!
