Preserve Current Filename In XMPSelect this option to use the current filename as the filename stored in the metadata of the photo. Note: In Windows Vista®, if your camera is connected in PTP mode, you are sometimes unable to view camera raw or video files in the Media Downloader. To view camera raw or video files, connect your camera in USB Mass Storage mode, or remove the card from the camera. Use a card reader to connect it to your computer. ==Use video capture device== Capturing video involves recording audio and video directly to your computer from a DV or HDV camcorder, webcam, or other WDM (Windows Driver Model) device. Adobe Premiere Elements automatically detects the attached capture device and sets all capture settings accordingly. Note: Before you capture digital video, create a project with a preset that matches the format (DV or HDV), television standard (NTSC or PAL), and frame aspect ratio (standard 4:3 or widescreen 16:9) that you’ll use to shoot your footage. The Capture panel provides controls that let you remotely control your device, making it easy to play, capture, pause, and stop the video on your device. To open the Capture panel, click Organize in the Tasks panel. The Capture panel enables you to monitor the video and access all the capture commands. Adobe Premiere Elements automatically detects the attached capture device and sets the Capture panel settings accordingly. ==Organizing your photos and video clips== Use Elements Organizer to manage your files. You can find photos, video files, audio clips, and Adobe PDF documents stored in different locations on your computer.
