=Frequently Asked questions: **Adobe Premier Elements V8 technical Help**=

PE is crashing when attempting to add a title on the front also (from your subsequent e-mail) / keeps shutting down when adding transitions:
Render all effects, transitions, and titles in the Timeline. It's sometimes necessary to render media files before smooth playback is possible. Adobe Premiere Elements attempts to play all effects, transitions, titles, and other unrendered elements in real time without first rendering them. The real-time playback capabilities of your system depend upon the CPU and other available system resources. By rendering the unrendered media elements of the Timeline, you reduce the dependence on the available system resources.

Potentially taking the tick off ‘Enable Background Rendering’ should help the issues (of crashing/freezing when trying to add titles/transitions), much better than when is background rendering all the time! - assume all the rendering is then just left for when you go to ‘make the movie’.

We are getting the pink screen in preview mode though, what can I do to get rid of the pretty colours? Once rendered the clips look normal:
Switch the GPU playback option. Note: This option is not available in Adobe Premiere Elements 9.0.

Adobe Premiere Elements is designed to take advantage of display cards with accelerated GPUs. If you are having playback issues, make sure that you use the correct GPU playback mode that corresponds with your display card.

•Enable GPU Playback: The setting if you have a GPU-accelerated display card. •Disable GPU Playback:The setting offers the lowest performance but is appropriate for display cards that do not fully support Direct 3D To switch the Desktop Display Mode, do the following:

1.Choose Edit > Preferences > General. 2.Select the appropriate option for GPU playback and click OK. 3.Click OK to close the Project Settings window.
