Steve Grisetti Mar 31, 2011 4:54 PM (in response to KYBloodstaineD)I would not recommend using WMVs as your source video. They'll bog the whole program down.
What kind of camcorder is your video coming from? There's probably a much more efficient workflow that won't require nearly so much rendering.
Meantime, if you're looking to learn this basics of this program, check out my free 8-part Basic Training tutorials at Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com.
And, if you'd like more detailed, step-by-step instruction, you can check out my books.

Steve Grisetti Apr 1, 2011 5:49 AM (in response to John T Smith)Can you be more specific about what model of Sony? Sony makes camcorders in virtually every format -- plus a couple of multi-format models.
We can't give you specific directions until we know specifically what you're working with.

Steve Grisetti Apr 1, 2011 1:51 PM (in response to KYBloodstaineD)That camcorder produces standard resolution MPEG files.
The best solution is to convert these MPEGs to DV-AVIs using MPEG Streamclip and the specs described in this FAQ.Not just any AVIs will do. You need to follow the exact instructions in this article in order for the video to work in this program.

You will then be able to edit this video using the standard DV project presets.
The link in my first post will take you through the basics of how to do this and use the program to edit your video.
