Hi
I have just purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 15 (I have had both 11 and 13) and I am trying to get to grips with the organizer after not so good attempts in previous versions.
In my organizer I have three catalogues but I am finding that I sometimes require a clip from one of the other Catalogues but I am requested to close the video editor before I can enter the catalogue manager to get into one of my other catalogues.
I am aware that I can close and save my work in the video editor, change the catalogue and the reopen the video editor. If it’s just one clip, I then have to go through the process again to revert back.
Is there an easier way please?
Arthur
Thanks for supporting the book, Brooke! It may be long, but the information is simple and easy to understand.

It's not clear what you're trying to achieve, Arthur.
Why are some of your media files in one catalog and some in another?

Thanks for the quick answer and my apologise, my heading should read changing and not chaning.
I have three catalogues at present, "my sons wedding", "Hollingworth lake and country park" (a documentary) and "my catalogue" (containing clips and pictures that are not directly relative to the other two catalogues.)
I am finding that some clips I want to use are in "my catalogue" when I am editing the Hollingworth lake project. Clips such as background clips of say water or other clips that I may require for my openings or endings.
The switching about, saving and closing the editor before it will let me get into another catalogue is not something I can't manage, it's just annoying and counter productive.
I was hoping either I am doing something wrong, or, there may be an easier way..
thanks Arthur

Why not have all of your media in one catalog but categorize your media files into Albums or Events. That's, after all, what the Organizer is designed to do.

Thanks Steve I will give it a try.
PS I have just purchased your book Muvipix .com guide to Photoshop elements & Premiere elements15, 500 pages to learn, very daunting LOL.
Cheers Arthur
