![]() ![]() ![]() Adobe decided that, with Version 8 of both programs, they could share the same media library. Why the duplication? Well, previous versions of Premiere Elements didn’t use Elements Organizer it was a part of Photoshop Elements, Adobe’s photo-editing program. Yes, they perform similar functions, and yes, their names are confusingly similar, but of the two, Elements Organizer is much more powerful. Not only that, three years from now, when you want to see that clip of your basset hound Clementine next to a Sequoia in Yosemite National Park, you’ll actually be able to find it.įrom the outset, you should understand that the standalone program called Elements Organizer and the tab in Premiere Elements called Organize are two different beasts. Spend a few minutes tagging clips and arranging your videos in albums, and your projects will go much faster. Of course, when you’re eager to start splicing clips together to create a movie, organizing clips may seem like a tedious waste of time. All these techniques make it easy to find the clip you need when you’re in the midst of editing. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to rate your clips, apply searchable tags to them, and organize them into albums. (Don’t confuse Elements Organizer with the simpler Organize tab in Premiere to understand the differences, see On to the Organizer.) This chapter introduces you to a tool that helps you tame your growing media collection: Adobe’s Elements Organizer, a high-powered, standalone program that comes with Premiere Elements. What you need is a way to organize your media files. Suffering from media overload, you click Premiere’s Organize tab and scroll through tons of clips but can’t find the one you want. In fact, all it takes to get there are a couple of vacations, some family celebrations, and maybe a school project or two. To be stuck on this snag, unable to complete this video-edit is absurd! Feels like I'm frozen, two inches from the finish line.As you edit more and more projects in Premiere, it won’t be long before you’re overwhelmed with video and other media clips. I do notice that there is no selectable ‘box’ beneath the ‘fx’ option on the layers themselves, and clicking that does nothing, which leads to me to believe it has something to do with composition settings. If that’s the case, I can’t figure out where to find that option and change it.ĭoes anyone know what I’m doing wrong/what I’m missing? This is the last step in a project that’s taken months. I have no idea why it’s not working as it always has in the past – have tried to determine if I somehow ‘disabled’ layer effects – have searched for instructions as to how I might ‘enable’ them (to no avail) – it’s now been hours (days) of zero progress when this should’ve taken me maybe 5 minutes (tops!) I’ve also tried dragging directly from the presets panel (top right in AE)…same issue absolutelynothing happens. I try double-clicking the preset within that panel and it creates an emtpy layer above the one I’m trying to apply the preset to. I’ve done enough to know that what I’m attempting should be simple.Īll I’m trying to do is apply a simple text animation preset. I’ve tried selecting the layer, browsing presets in bridge and double clicking – history shows a preset was applied, yet nothing happens…it doesn’t show up in the layer dropdown. Though I’m self-taught and admittedly not entirely familiar with how it all works, I’ve used After Effects for a while now, and I’ve been able to navigate without issue until now. ![]()
