Interlace Consecutive Frames Converts pairs of consecutive progressive-scan (noninterlaced) frames into interlaced
fields. This option is useful for converting 60-fps progressive-scan animations into 30-fps interlaced video because
many animation applications don’t create interlaced frames.
Always Deinterlace Converts interlaced fields into whole progressive-scan frames. Adobe Premiere Elements
deinterlaces by discarding one field and interpolating a new field based on the lines of the remaining field. It keeps the
field specified in the Field Settings option in the Project Settings. If you specified No Fields, Adobe Premiere Elements
keeps the upper field unless you selected Reverse Field Dominance, in which case it keeps the lower field. This option
is useful when freezing a frame in the clip.
Flicker Removal Prevents thin horizontal details in an image from flickering by slightly blurring the two fields
together. An object as thin as one scan line flickers because it can appear only in every other field.

5.1 audio import
Adobe® Premiere® Elements 8 facilitates importing and playing clips with 5.1 audio in the same format as the project
preset. You can create movies combining AVCHD video and stereo audio and 5.1 audio and stereo audio. You can
move clips from track to track in the Timeline regardless of whether the audio is 5.1 or stereo. If you import 5.1 audio
file to the stereo channel, it is converted to 5.1 and the other way round. To create a 5.1 channel track, drag a 5.1
channel audio video clip or 5.1 channel audio only clip onto the empty area on the timeline of a stereo project. A 5.1
channel track in a stereo project is created. To create a stereo track in a 5.1 channel project, drag-and-drop a stereo clip
into the empty area on timeline. A stereo track in a 5.1 channel project is created.
1 Do one of the following:
• From the Welcome screen, click New Project.
• If Adobe Premiere Elements is open, choose File > New > Project.
2 Click Change Settings to change the preset used. Select Full HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel from the AVCHD folder, and
click OK.
3 In the New Project dialog box, specify a name and location for the project, and click OK.
In the Timeline view you can see 5.1 beside the Audio tracks. You can now include clips to your project. However, the
audio is mapped to a channel type depending on how you insert the media file.
Drag clips to the Monitor window
When you drag clips onto the Monitor window, the audio is mapped to the channel type of Audio 1 track.
However, when you Shift-drag onto the Monitor window, you are presented with the following additional options. The
audio mappings change depending on the option you select.
Insert After This Scene Audio is mapped to the Audio 1 track, and the clip is inserted in the Video 1/Audio 1 track.
The clip is inserted at the end of the existing clip, indicated currently by CTI.
Split And Insert Audio is mapped to the Audio 1 track, and the clip is inserted in the Video 1/Audio 1 track. The
current clip is split at the point where the CTI is pointing. The clip is inserted at this point.
Place On Top If there is an empty track above Video 1/Audio 1, the selected clip is inserted on that track, and mapped
to the corresponding track's channel type. If there is no empty track, a new track is created matching the channel type
