Software Reviews of Adobe Premiere Elements 4 [OLD VERSION]

Customer Review: Adobe Premiere Elements & Elements for Dummies
Summary: 5 Stars

My son got started making lego mation combined with captured video to create various school projects. He started using Windows Movie Maker which was an exercise in frustration. (Constantly locking up, wouldn't import video in .mpg format, and no ability to mix audio tracks.) So, with only two weeks left in the semester I puchased Premiere Elements on the recommendation of our university guru and against the reviews of many here at Amazon. Our experience has been fantastic!! The platform was extremely stable, locked up twice in over 50 hours of editing, handled the imported video with ease, and had a built in audio mixer. Absolutely an excellent value considering I was about to purchase a $70.00+ mixing program for use with the WMM. My son is a novice and I know less, so the Premiere Elements for Dummies was an excellent source of basic information. We would have had a much harder transition had I not purchased it at the same time.

He is a sophomore in high school and for what he was doing it worked beautifully.

Customer Review: DOA - try free trial before buying!
Summary: 1 Stars

Tried the free 3-day trial on XP with a machine that has enough power to run it. Get NOTHING after the splash screen -- can't use it at all! Read and followed the Adobe support suggestions (ran in simplified mode etc). Love the last suggestions of theirs: use on a different computer or reformat your hard drive and install nothing but Windows and Elements. Maybe I have another program conflicting but I've tried everything. Not worth the hassle!

Customer Review: good product at a great value
Summary: 4 Stars

I use this together with PS elements 6.0. It has a little more of a learning curve put produces good video output. So far I have just done the tutorial and photo slideshows exported from PS elements. Quality of the DVD slideshow noticeably better than PS elements slideshow.

Customer Review: Premiere Elements 4.0
Summary: 4 Stars

I heard good things about Premiere Elements 4.0 but did not realize what it could do until I tried it. It makes it easy to turn music, videos and still photos into a really professional looking production. Lots and lots of features. The only reason that I gave it a 4 rather then a 5 is that this product requires a "today" type computer with some horsepower. I ran this on a P4 with 768meg and it runs slow (CPU bound). It runs great on a Dual Core with 2 gig of memory.

Customer Review: Worth the money
Summary: 4 Stars

The best feature about Adobe Premiere Elements 4 is the audio adjustment capability. There must be at least six different ways to adjust the audio levels... when recording narration, over the whole track, over the individual clip, in the mixer, adjusting the gain, etc. I purchased this product because I couldn't balance the narration levels and music levels appropriately in Windows Movie Maker. Premiere did an excellent job in this area. The tool is nicely organized and cleanly displayed. The only downside for me was the menu templates. I found them rather unattractive and much less professional looking than the ones in Windows Movie Maker.
