Premier Elements 11
Desktop, Win7, Intel i7, 16 gig
NVida GTX460 - this maybe the reason I went to Pre11 from Pre10 last year.
New project with 7 video clips (Canon 1920x1080 .mts) and several dozen stills (.jpg), approx 1.3 hours.
After downloading a menu theme (20-40 megs), screen shows a blank pane for Adjustments (see attached). Tried downloading several different theme files, no good.
Created several mini projects, same failure after downloading a menu theme.
Archiving the project (trimmed) and loading to a notebook with Pre11 then was successful in downloading "Stages" menu theme. Made edits with no issues. Brought revised project back to desktop and getting a "Project not compatible".
Loading a existing project created a year ago in Pre11 results in a "Project not compatible"
Suspect the "menu theme" function in Pre11 has gotten hammered, no big issues with the rest of Pre11. Question is what is the best course of action?
My first goal is to preserve the projects I already have. (no Project Archiver versions - my bad)
Can I de-install Pre11 and re-install w/o losing the many existing video projects going back several years?
Is it time to move to version 13? (not looking forward to the learning curve)
Thanks in advance
