Tip

For Videos, Photos, Audio, and SFX, you can sort results by Relevance, Most Recent, or Most Downloads using the Sort Results dropdown.

Tip

 By default, stock content is saved in the following location:

  • On Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Premiere Elements/Common/Stock Assets
  • On Windows: C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Elements\Common\Stock Assets
In Quick Edit mode

The Sceneline only shows V1, V2, and A1 tracks. If these tracks are locked using the Lock/Unlock Track icon, they cannot be edited.

When you use Add to Timeline with all visible tracks locked, the media may be added to hidden tracks such as V3 or A2. Because these tracks aren’t shown in the Sceneline, it may appear as if nothing has been added.

This applies to all Video, Photo, Audio and SFX assets. To avoid this, ensure at least one visible track is unlocked before adding media.
