Software Reviews of Adobe Premiere Elements 7 [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Good functionality
Summary: 4 Stars
After using Pinnacle products for years, we decided to try Adobe Premiere 7 Elements for video editing. Having used other Adobe home products, like Photoshop Elements, we were familiar with much of Adobe's format.
The video loaded over from our MiniDV camera with ease. I found the Adobe software to be more intuitive than the Pinnacle software. We haven't explored its full features yet, but setting up basic family video DVDs is pretty quick.
It runs great on our Vista 64 machine (a quad core system). Give it a whirl.
Customer Review: Adobe Premeire Elements 7 - Tutorial?
Summary: 3 Stars
Got the software installed. Open screen forces you into Photoshop.com membership - where they encourage you to store your work, which sometimes isn't available, which is always B.S. Tutorials are online, which, once you've figured out how to navigate past the 'join photoshop.com' intro without shutting down the program, you can only find by first beginning a project and then hitting the help button so they can tell you how to begin a project. They could have made starting out a whole lot easier.
Otherwise, it's Adobe, which means that, for now, I'll trust it to work as well as other Adobe programs.
Customer Review: Good for a Consumer level program.
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this program. It is feature rich and easy to use. Unlike Pinnacle Studio, which tends to crash on every machine I have, this is stable and does the job. I especially like the upload to YourTube feature. Very helpful.Customer Review: Man, The Price Is Right
Summary: 4 Stars
This was one of the most difficult purchases I remember making. Every bit of video editing software I could find had mixed reviews. I picked Adobe because I thought I could trust it best, and a friend of mine had used it before. I didn't care if it was hard to use or if it was slow, just as long as it worked.
Well, it is tough to figure out at first, and it does crash whenever you try to rush through setting up your narrations, but it does get the job done. I was able to successfully make a video with it. And the best part is it doesn't cost 500 or 1,000 bucks. It's perfect to use if you just want to goof around on a youtube project.
Use the help button whenver you get stuck, find out how to work with features carefully so you don't cause the program to crash, and you can do a lot with this thing. Beats that worthless windows movie maker any day.
Customer Review: Had it with this software - UNRELIABLE
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had the product now for quite a few months. To those considering buying it - DON'T. Ungodly slow loading, frequent crashes, lock ups, and the ever popular "Transcoding error" or even worse, lots of just plain "Error". Gee, that's informative....
My use of the program could not be much easier - grab a bunch of clips from my video camera, string them together and spit out a DVD. Pretty basic - but the program falls on its face flat. It takes forever to load on a 3G Duo core. Frequent crashes - no explanation, just good bye. Often will not run twice in a row - must reboot. Output errors galore. Examples:
- just putting out a DV AVi file, the file is incorrect. Missing footage. Audio is intact, but the video is some other frame.
- DVD. you get a message "Transcoding error". Non of the fixes I found on the 'net helped.
- Plan old "Error". Pops up at times.
The feature set is pretty cool, and the editing is pretty easy and intuitive, but if the program crashes, what good is all that? Seems like they spent a bunch of time on "pretty" features (like how the interface dims and lights up) but not enough time on the meat of the program.
Bottom line, I am looking for another program. One that I can actually test first before wasting my money.
Note to ADOBE: your reputation has gone to heck. Are you not reading all over the 'net how lousy your software has become? It WILL bite you in sales if it hasn't already. FIX what you have if you have any sense of how to conduct business.
