Specific to Premiere Elements Version 9.
by JohnnyO » Tue Sep 21, 2010 7:53 pm
I downloaded and installed the trial version of PRE9. The installation went flawlessly. I ran a test project with my AVCHD-Lite video. First I added the clips to the Organizer, then dragged them to the timeline. The video conformed very quickly. The AVCHD-Lite video ran OK in the timeline, much better than I had expected, although a little choppy.
I have an old system. A Pentium 4 HT, 2.8 GHZ. I don't expect AVCHD-lite to work very well on my computer. However, even though playback was a bit choppy, it was basically usable.That was unexpected. I have been editing my clips using Magix Movie edit Pro 16, but had to resort to proxy editing in order to get by. In PRE9, I may be able to get by without proxy.
I applied a couple of effects. Next is to render the video and see the results. So far I am pleased, although I have only been working with this for 10 minutes.
Last year I tried PRE8. I gave up on it .The frequent crashes were intolerable. The last version I purchased was PRE7. I couldn't use PRE7 with AVCHD-lite, so I basically stopped using PRE. I missed PRE as it has the best interface of all the NLEs I have used (I have used MAGIX MEP and Sony Vegas Studio.
So far so good. I will keep working with the trial and see how it goes. If it works as well as it did tonight, I will definitely be moving back to PRE.

Update: The video clip exported fine and the quality is very good.
I will be testing the heck out of the trial. Testing for sound sync, large projects, photo quality with scale to frame size,the new audio cleaner, themes, etc. I hope it works out for me.
I also want to test Photoshop Elements 9. I'll give that a shot after I fininsh testing PRE 9

It does look cool. I can imagine it doing great wonders for my Son't TaeKwonDo photos.

I am in the middle of scanning 3 high school yearbooks from 1975, 76, and 77. As you can imagine they have had some use and the original images in the books are not all that great to begin with. Cleaning them up has been a breeze with the Content Aware feature

Johnny did you note in the Monitor you can right click and set the playback quality to Automatic or Highest. With Automatic it will let AVCHD play back with less jerkiness, albeit the preview quality is lower.

I'll give that a try when I get home tonight. Thanks

Tonight I made a 16 minute video. All video clips were AVCHD-lite, and there were 2 photos in the video as well.
I added transitions and some effects, including some of the Newbluefx audio tools.
I was able to export without a glitch. Sound was perfectly in sync. So far no problems. I will try a 1 hour video next.
I did notice however, that there were no GPU effects. I ran PRE7 to double check if they were there and they are in PRE7. Could this be because this is trial?

They are in version 8 also, but I don't see them in version 9 either Johnny

I noticed that the prerendered preview files are lost when you open an existing project where prerendering was done and the project saved.
Also, I added an effect to a clip, but there wasn't a red line going over that portion. I added a title, and there wasn't a red line over that either. I made an edit to the title, then a red line appeared over the title. I next rendered a preview file for just the title. That's when the red line over the video clip with the stabilizer effect finally appeared. I rendered preview files for the rest of the timeline, then I saved the project and exited pre9. I opened the project, but there was no red or green lines. I had to render preview files again. I couldn't render preview files for the video clips until I made an edit to the tiltle and rendered a preview file for the title.
I can't run pre9 on my mother's computer. pre9 claims that the display driver is not compatible, although I have the same display driver on my computer where pre9 doesn't complain.
That's my 10 to 20 minutes of testing.

I'm also having trouble with animated titles. The title turns black and only the trial version banner shows.
Hopefully I will be able to figure out what is going on. I may need to tweak the Nvidia console settings.
