Still looking for answer to original question: does anybody know whether templates designed for Premiere Elements can be used by Encore CS6.
Is it simply a matter of the templates need to be .PSD files?
Bill Hunt will eventually drop by here (active in both PR elements and Premiere and Encore) and tell us.
In the mean time, do you know where your elements templates live on your computer? To answer the question, it would help if you can get your hands on one!
