Adobe Premiere Elements...I need some help

Well i got bored of vegas...want to try something new and i was amazed by APE but whenever i put a video in there is a black screen whenever i click play.Audio is there but not video -_- .I tried reinstalling,updating and even downgrading my quicktime but still nothing.Also i tried searching if there are some extra files that need to be downloaded for the videos to play(like codecs and stuff)but couldn't find any...If anyone knows a solution please tell me :))))

sounds like a codec problem. but im not familiar with this programme so I couldn't help. also explain to ppl what file types your dragging and they will be able to help you better.

Well i kinda figured it out...The file i was trying to edit with was an .avi file...Then i converted it to wmv and it played the video.Then i converted it to mpg and it played the video again.I guess adobe elements just doesn't support avi files :S ...Tnx btw :D

It should be able to run .avi.I agree with Crookz,your problem is on codecs.

Vegas 8,9,10 can run the avi files fine...After effects also...same thing with magix and lightworks.I have the neccesary codecs installed...I checked...hmmm i guess i will just have to convert them to something else
