Do you have the same confusion above? After countless tests and searching, I think the problem does not just lie on 4K resolution. Although Adobe Premiere Elements (12/13) with stunning features is a popular video editing software for users, the compatibility between 4K videos and Adobe Premiere Elements is still an unsolved mystery in that some persons can import 4K videos into Elements, while the others can not. The computer configuration and operation environment should play an important role on this aspect. Bypassing 4K issue, in fact, there is another problem that users need to pay attention.
