And you should uninstall/reinstall Premiere Elements.

(And remember I did recommend you do NOT remove your DVD burner software. I just said it was an extreme solution if you were desparate. )

That's what we call the Steve/Chuck one/two punch. Identical answers, posted simultaneously!

You don't have to uninstall your previous version(s) before installing the new. In fact, I keep copies of versions 2, 3 and 4 on my machine for reference, tutorials and testing DVD templates. But, as I've said, version 4 offers a pretty nice working environment, once you develop a feel for it, and i...

It's actually a pretty advanced digital effect. But you're not the only one who's asked! Lots of interesting reading on the subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_&_Ten_(graphics_system) http://www.questline.com/service/document.cfm?id=3460&userid=833171 http://www.prairieenergy.coop/aspx...

The best values out there now are from an upstart Korean company called LG. I picked up a couple of factory reconditioned 19" LG Flatrons with 1400:1 contrast for about $150 each at http://www.pricewatch.com (my first stop for computer parts and accessories).

Two 19" monitors gets my vote. For one thing, it's a much better value -- and, secondly, it gives you a lot more real estate (the equivalent of a 32" monitor!). Besides, when your friends walk into your room and see those twin 19", they will KNOW you are serious about video editing! ;)

It CAN burn to a folder on your hard drive? Well, that pretty much isolates your problem to the interface with the DVD burner. This is a pretty common problem, clueless. The problem though has less to do with Premiere Elements than it has to do with the DVD burner software (Nero, InterVideo, RecordN...

Without a doubt, Lee! In fact, Adobe, I'm sure, does monitor this forum (Mike, I believe, is especially cognizant of the word on the street) as well as their own, and they know that both are having an ever-growing impact on consumer interest in their products. Muvipix has always had a friendly relat...

I agree. A great review! Thanks for sharing it.

All I know is that I'm happy with the product now and that Mike and his team made a real effort to resolve my issues. Yes, you're right. It's still not perfect. But I don't think Adobe is negligently dumping junk software on the market either. And this round, I'd watch for a patch or two. Mike was a...

Anyway, this whole thing has kind of emphasized to me that, although it may not be obvious, Adobe really does care about maintaining the quality of its software, even at the consumer level. They know this market can be very fickle, and one piece of buggy software can kill a whole line. I was very im...

Thanks, Cinde. What a privilege it is to be part of such a wonderful community!

Cinde, I trust you aren't driving as you read.

It makes it so hard to dial your cell phone.

Or you can use the Create Slideshow feature (set it to change at unnumbered markers) -- but expect you might need to go through and manually extend a photo or two to fill in the gaps. (The gaps don't happen consistently, which is why I'm not convinced the problem is related to default still duration...

As long as you don't undock the Timeline/Sceneline you won't have any problems. Naturally, there is no 'correct' set-up for two monitors, but here's the one I've been playing with: My right-hand monitor has the Tasks panel taking up the top half of the screen and the Timeline/Sceneline taking up the...
