Premiere Elements 15, Adobe's entry-level video editing software, offers the de-haze tool already offered by Photoshop CC and Elements and also gains touch functionality. A few other feature updates are also included, like the ability to create photo/video collages and a Remix feature to help match music and video clip length. Adobe Creative Cloud apps now use native OS support for Dolby Digital decoding and no longer feature encoding for Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus sound formats.
I'm using Photoshop Elements 10 Organizer with Premiere Elements10 Installed. I have a number of files of type MTS which I understand to be AVCHD and are imported from my Panasonic Lumix TZ20 camera which captures HD video. These files will not play in the Organizer, resulting in a message stating the required Codec is missing. However, when the same file is sent to Premiere Elements for Editingand agreeing to a message to have Premiere set the correct properties for the media type it plays perfectly. What am I do wrong? Are there any settings I need to change to have Organizer also play the file successfully?
According to Adobe official website, Adobe Premiere Elements does import AVI files. However, in some cases, you can't import an AVI file to Premiere Elements (even the latest Pre 13) successfully. Error messages include 'Unsupported audio rate in file' or 'This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.' would occur. In fact, there are various video and audio codecs (DivX, Xvid, 3ivx, and so on) for AVIs, only a few (example DV-AVI) of which are supported in Premiere Elements.
In order for Premiere Elements 13/12/11/10 to import an AVI file, the codec that a particular file uses must be installed on the computer. However, installing a codec doesn't necessarily resolve problems in Adobe Premiere Elements that occur when you import or play files created with that codec. The technical requirements for editing video files are more stringent than the requirements for playing video files. If your operating system has all the necessary codecs installed, but you still cannot open the file, try converting your AVI files to another file format(e.g. .mov, .wmv, .mpg) and then opening the converted AVI clip in Premiere Elements.
