I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 4 on my PC to develop a slide show of old family photographs. My PC is running Windows XP Professional.
I have placed all of the slides and title screens into the timeline and have successfully added timeline markers together with 2 small menu screens.
I am now trying to add short narrations at various points in the timeline via the “Add Narration” microphone icon. I set the current timeline marker at the point where I want the narration to begin but as soon as the recording starts (after the 3 second countdown), the timeline jumps back to a previous title and begins the recording there.
Since I have used this technique successfully in a previous slide show, I have compared all of the settings I can find between the 2 files but I can find no difference.
I have also tried clearing all of the menu markers but that does not help.
The only difference between the files is that, in timeline view in the problem file, a small grey area appears just above the timeline markers at a point above the narrative files (see attached photo) . I don’t know what that is for, and I can’t get rid of it.
Does anyone know what the problem is and how to get rid of it?
