This is a truly informative forum and thanks to all in advance. If I can get the type of help I have been reading I will be able to finish a project completely, I’m looking forward to it. I can not find an option for presets, prior to editing. I do have options on sharing but that’s for a later post. Is it true you should start your project with the proper preset then share or export with the same .. ok I’m getting ahead of myself. My first problem / question is
I have just picked up an XH-A1 and I would like to get setup to cut HD video.
I want to change my settings for a new project.
I open premiere elements 7.
I click on new project; the new project drop down comes up
I click on change settings bubble, bottom left. The setup drop down opens
Under AVAILABLE PRESETS nothing is listed
Out of the four buttons at the bottom only cancel is lit and operable

When project is open new
I click on edit, click on project settings, click on general.
Editing mode is unchangeable dv ntsc is dimmed

What’s up. How can I change project settings to hdv 720p 30
Thanks
Mox

this is what I see in my drop downs
