Cheap camcorder for first Elements 8 Pocket camcorder

Hi all

I am a teacher in a school and recently fell into a part of the money for my computer lab. I plan to buy 16 copies of first elements 8 academic (I assume it will behave exactly as the retail sector) and a number of video cameras for students.

My first thought was to order 16 flip camera mino for ease of use and cheap price, but after some research, I discovered that they do not play nice with first.

So, I bring you my question here. I am looking for a device similar to the Flip (or a little more exotic if absolutely necessary) for students to use with first Elements 8. Must not use tape, because we simply do not have time to capture in this way, and video files, it creates must be directly compatible with first.

Maybe it's a chimera, but looks like there should be something out there...

Thanks in advance for the help! =)

Justin, a digital camera like the Canon Powershot A490 might do the trick. The important part is to ensure that you have a good codec installed on your computer which can properly handle the files generated by the camera. The Canon Powershot I use standard def records video in Motion-JPEG (like the A490) and, with a codec I bought, can import the files quickly in Premiere Elements without any file conversion and change without any problem.

You could try to download the first Elements 8 trial version and buy a camera where the store allows refunds, and then test to see if the installation works for you before committing to buy a large number of PRE and cameras. People here could help you find a codec that * should * work. If things do not work as you like it, then you are not just any money.

With many cameras digital, like mine, the zoom during video shooting feature is digital and optical, but I guess that the course you want to teach is interested more in the video real editing and less with a very high quality image.

  • Best for first Elements 10 manual?

    I'm new to video editing.  I find the first Elements 10 more intuitive and easy to use that Cyberlink Power Director, Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Writer AE (which came with my camcorder Panasonic TM900). I don't know the total capacity, but it seems that first Elements 10 will be able to accomplish any task, I need.

    However, as my first items 10 did not come with a manual, I have the choice of using the PDF manual on my computer; print or purchase a stand alone manual.

    I use many very good video tutorials available online but, I want a book to improve my learning.

    Can anyone recommend a book?

    How about mine - based on my 8 years experience working with the program and the hosting of this forum?

    What operating system is involved? Assuming that Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 64-bit for now.

    There is a known No Disc error associated with the elements first 13/13.1. The Adobe fix is the removal or disabling of the OldFilm.AEX file. Let us determine if this applies to your situation.

  • Can't import video for first Elements 8

    Hey everybody,

    I know that this question is probably asked a lot, but the hours of research I still could not find a solution, so I thought I'd do an account to ask you guys.

    I first Elements 8, and every time I connect my Canon Vixia HG20 and use the option to get the media, it does not find my camera. I select the option for AVCHD or other memory/hard disk camcorder and then this window pops up but it says "None Found" or "No Device Found" (I refreshed it several times to be sure). Now, I tried several times a month.

    Does anyone have solutions or advice?

    Welcome to the forum.

    For this material, first copy the files and folders of the camera via the USB port. This can be done from the included software, or Windows Explorer.

    Captures true is only from cassette miniDV, via FireWire cameras.

    Good luck

  • Export from Photoshop Elements 6 for first Elements 8

    I have prepared a slideshow with the Organizer in Photoshop Elements 6 and produced a DVD that has a good image quality but not excellent (I chose File - high setting of 800 x 600). In order to improve the image quality of DVD, I installed the trial version of first Elements 8. I've exported the first Elements 8 show and have several problems.

    1 the picture quality of the DVD produced by first Elements 8 is worse than that produced from the Organizer (Photoshop Elements 6).

    2 titles, transitions and the Bo does not show in first Elements 8.

    3 the sequence of slides in first Elements 8 is different then the slide show in the Organizer (Photoshop Elements 6).

    At the same time a menu pops up asking me if I wanted to convert the catalog to the V6. I refused because I was afraid that the catalogue of the V6 can be replaced, and I wouldn't be able to come back.

    Help, please.

    Conclusion.

    My results are in agreement with your problems are NOT associated with Photoshop Elements 6 slide show used instead a Photoshop element 8 slideshow in the slideshow transfer to first Elements 8.

    To the test. Photoshop elements 6/first Elements 8.

    First, I created a slide show in the Photoshop elements 6 Slide Show Editor. It consisted of:

    (a) 19 jpeg photos each with dimensions of 3264 x 2448 pixels (which is not recommended to pixel dimensions but which has been used to highlight the project if possible... these photos are grossly oversized since the goal is a DVD VIDEO with standard 720 x 480 image size).

    (b) I used a transition wipe between each

    (c) I used the text inside photos (included in the text was a sequence number so that I could more easily visually follow the sequence of slide show after he was transferred to first Elements 8)

    (d) I added two audio clips as soundtrack (the first one I placed the start just before the last two photos to return on any audio synchronized as well as the loss of a full audio clip)

    (e) I used a pan and zoom for photos 1 and 2 effect.

    The quality of the preview in the editor of Photoshop elements 6 Slide Show was good.

    I issued the editor of Photoshop elements 6 Slide Show slide show, using the slide show option change out 'send to Premiere Elements '. When I did, first Elements 8 open, I put the project preset, and he accepted the slideshow. In the area of media project were

    a folder that contains all the individual components of the slide show

    (b) slide show (Group) video file

    The Visual form (grouped) was automatically placed on the Timeline as well.

    Everything transferred correctly. No problems. SEE IMPORTANT NOTE below.

    I burned even the content of the standard calendar DVD VIDEO of first Elements 8, and the standard DVD VIDEO read on my 19 LCD Widescreen TV.

    To the test. Photoshop elements 8/first Elements 8.

    I repeated the above with Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Elements 8 and the same show and got the same results.

    IMPORTANT. Be it Photoshop Elements 6/first Elements 8 or Photoshop Elements 8/first Elements 8, I had to return the timeline in the Mode change in order to get the best possible overview so that I could determine or confirm what was on the chronology of the elements of the first. And, making chronology as described with all these pictures oversized took several hours.

    That's what I need to know:

    1 how many photos have you used in the slide show in the Photoshop Elements 6 or 8 slide show, and what were their dimensions in pixels? If you do not know, you can check in the dialog box elements Photoshop Editor, Image, picture, Resize the Menu size or just place your path of the mouse on the file on the hard drive and note the 'dimensions '.

    2. If you transfer your slideshow of Photoshop Elements 6 or 8 for first 8 Elements, use the option 'Send to Premiere Elements' Output and get your slide show on the chronology of 8 items first, you make this timeline by pressing the Enter key on the main computer keyboard so that the red line on the timeline goes green when the process is complete?

    3. your computer optimized, defragmented, cleaned, scratch your files to an external hard drive (NTFS formatted), etc. If you use an external hard drive for scratch files, is there enough space for them?

    4. What is your operating system and what are its resources, for example, the RAM available and free hard drive space. Have you checked your virtual computer memory implemented?

    Stay course on it to rule in or out the wmv not above approach to get your slideshow as a VIDEO DVD. But if you decide to make a detour to save the movie as file .wmv and you deal with oversized photos and a faulty component in the slide show, the writing of the .wmv becomes a possible focus point to find errors. And, if the .wmv is intended for DVD-VIDEO, and then use the (also known under the name of profile) file size = DVD NTSC (720 x 480).

    I suspect that the heart of the problem is going to

    (a) the use of oversized photos

    offending component b in a slideshow
    (c) the size of the slide show

    (d) computer resources

    (e) a combination of all or part of the above

    I will continue to monitor your progress.

  • How can I create my own DVD for first Elements 7 menu templates

    I'm a software developer. I say this because I want to establish that I am completely able to program the software to a level well beyond the normal "user". I would like to develop my own models of DVD menu for use with first Elements 7. What tools do I need to do?

    More important still, why the PE7 does not support this capability? I ask because the other movie making software I tested provide ways to create DVD menus customized from scratch. (and have more than one default template to customize) I don't mention the name of the competitor for fear of censorship of this entire thread.

    Well, as I said, the amazing DVD Architect Studio is only $39. And you can create almost any kind of DVD menu with it!

    As for the other models of DVD for Premiere Elements, you can download additional content from the same place, you downloaded the trial.

    ideas please

    Welcome to the forum.

    Now you run as administrator? If not, you will want to do this first.

    Also, have you pre installed on your C:\? This is where he wants to be installed, and problems ensue if you chose any other HARD drive, even if the path isn't serious so much - to the car.

    This isn't Adobe. Rather a user here.

    Questions of pricing (full upgrade price) need answers from Adobe.

    But, she is eligible for the teacher version which is the same program, just a price differently.

    Please see the bulletin that link above. If you are interested, contact Adobe according to the details of the affair.
