Software Reviews of Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 [OLDER VERSION]
Customer Review: Best Affordable Video Editing Software on the Market
Summary: 5 Stars
I used Pinnacle for my video editing and was very disappointed. Pinnacle constantly locked up and more than once I lost hours of editing because it wouldn't save properly. My PC is a powerhouse so I know it wasn't the computer. I tried Adobe Elements and am very happy. It is the best inexpensive video editing software I have used. My wife and I photograph and video weddings and events and we need something that is fast, easy to use, and affordable. Adobe Elements is all of the above. I also use it to create and edit videos for my Web site, www.Geckotales.com
I highly recommend Adobe Elements to anyone that is looking for editing software for home or small business use. It's the best think I have found for the price.
Customer Review: Worth every penny
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want to create your own home videos that are actually interesting for people to watch, this is the program to get. I purchased a JVC Everio GZ-MG30 HDD camcorder and I use this software to create my videos. Once you get over the initial learning curve this software is amazing. I'm able to make great looking home videos with music and titles in just a couple hours. I highly recommend this software for anyone who wants to make great looking home videos.Customer Review: Adobe Premiere Elements 3

Though I only spent about 6 hours with the program, it works very well. I use it with my Canon HV10 HD camcorder, and it has been stable. In the past, I owned Studio 8,9,10, and it always would crash at some point. This program doesn't crash. The program runs slow with HD editing. I upgraded my memory to 2GB, and it's still slow. For the money it's ok, but I'm planning to buy a Mac for speed, and try Final Cut Express.Customer Review: Buggy, slow, and unreliable
Summary: 2 Stars
PE 3.0 is buggy, problematic, and barely reliable. My first project was a slideshow incorporting video, stills, music and narration. This application frequently leaves bits of detritus files on the timelines, inserts strange markers at whim, and had copy-to-tape problems all on the first project. I've worked with Imovie, Pinnacle7&8, VideoFactory and Ulead. They've each got quirks, but for such a developed application, Adobe's engineers just can't seem to get it right. Personally, I think I'll stick with the simple Ulead.Customer Review: Far from perfect
Summary: 2 Stars
This is my first use of video editing software, but I have done something similar with training development software. I got Adobe Premiere to create a presentation for my parent's 50th anniversary. This presentation is a combination of old photos, home movies, and scene dividers. Things started out fine, but when I tried to load it again after an editing session, it never loaded completely and basically locked up my computer. I've got a 2.8Ghz Pentium Dell with 1GB memory and plenty of free hard drive space, so it shouldn't be the machine. After some experimenting, I resorted to saving to a new version after just about every edit. Plus I backed up to another drive, which was a godsend because I had to replace my 'work' version every time it locked up. Funny thing is the restored version opened fine every time, but the next time I tried to open it, it wouldn't.
Anyway, I get the presentation done, and I go to burn it. Like the instructions say - be patient. About 95% of the way through burning the disk (about 2hr on a 25 min movie) - Device Error. My DVD burner is a brand new LG burner, purchased specifically for this project, and there aren't even any driver updates available. Based on the forums, I'm not the only one getting this error. I've tried all of the fixes, but nothing has worked so far (and I can't waste more time on it right now). I can save the project as an AVI or MPEG, but it won't burn it. Instead I downloaded a trial version of Nero and that burns like a champ (once you get past it's user unfriendly interface.
Net Result - this had been one of the more frustrating pieces of software I've ever used, but I was able to create the presentation I wanted, so it wasn't a total loss.
