Premiere Elements 3 on Windows 8

Postby RJ Johnston » Sat May 04, 2013 2:23 am

You can run Premiere Elements 3 on Windows 8, but if Quicktime and the Avid codecs are installed, then Premiere Elements 3 fails to open.

I couldn't figure out why Quicktime was preventing PRE3 from opening. As I was looking through the Quicktime folders, I saw that I had installed Avid codecs. After uninstalling the Avid codecs, PRE3 started.

If you are wondering why I installed PRE3 on my Windows 8, I was trying to answer a question about PRE3 from someone using PRE3.

Wow. I couldn't even get Pre El 3 to run properly on W7 Pro.

Once in a while I ran into a glitch when entering data into textboxes. A textbox looks disabled, but you can still type blindly to enter a file name, for example.

PSE4 would not install on the machine in my signature, which forced me to go to PSE7, which in turn forced me to switch to PRE7.

Only then did I discover that Win7 with an i7 processor and the Elements 7 bundle is a "marriage made in heaven."

And we've been living "happily ever after" since that point in time.

I have a license for the "Mainconcept Elements 1.01 Plugin for Premiere Elements," which is no longer sold. It allows smart rendering of MPEG files in Premiere Elements. It won't work with versions past PRE3.

NewBlue Video Essentials I and II that were released back in 2010 installed and work, and Mercalli 2.0 also installed and works in PRE3 on Windows 8. Later versions of NewBlue VideoEssentials don't work.
