Software Reviews of Adobe Premiere Elements 7 [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Great package for home video work
Summary: 4 Stars
I've worked with professional level editing systems like Avid Nitris, etc., and while this program does not compare, there certainly is no need to as it is more for home use, in my opinion. However as technology increases so narrows the gap between pro and home so if you've got good camera gear or high quality sources, then I suppose the editing software shouldn't matter so much as long as you are used to the interface.
I started with an earlier version of Premiere Elements (2.0?) a while back and found it perfect for small YouTube skits, etc. Adobe Premiere Elements 7 packs a much harder punch and certainly has many more options and updated codecs for various output formats, etc. For the price you get a great bang for the buck for the amateur filmmaker or edit-hungry home video producer who uses the net as their canvas.
Customer Review: Good for the price. Easy if you stay on the path. A little confusing off the path.
Summary: 4 Stars
Of the two Elements 7 products, Photoshop is much more like it's big brother than Premiere is. If you just want an "instant" movie then this will make a lot of crazy transitions automatically and your family will say "How'd you do that?"... unfortunately... you won't really know. If you do go in and edit your movies manually, it seems a bit more confusing. From managing your clips to the rendering to video or DVD. Overall I think the end results look cleaner/more professional than a lot of other products I've used from Microsoft or ULead (now Corel), but I think they were easier and more intuitive to use.
But overall it's been very stable (something that isn't always true in video apps) on my Vista 64bit installation and does a brilliant job automatically. I'd like a different interface with more obvious controls over things, but for the money it's not bad.
Customer Review: got my moneys worth
Summary: 4 Stars
I have yet to complete a project...I have elements 7 and am very happy with it and after printing and reading the manual for premier I think it will perform at the same level..Customer Review: Make sure you have Blood Pressure Meds...

Adobe Premiere Elements 7
First of all the positives...The program has some really great features. Now for the rest...PRE7 is a resource hog. You cannot edit more than a couple clips without it warning you resources are low. Yes I am 4x over the required minimums. Sometimes while editing, the program will simply become un-responsive. The only way out is to end the program...doing that also means you lose all the work you have just done. Adobe should be ashamed of this product...it is almost useless. If I had the time I would sue them to recover all my lost hours of work.
Rumor has it...the program runs much better on a 64 bit machine.
The Wise always warn life is full of disappointments...Rest assured that Adobe Premier Elements 7 is going to be one of them.
Customer Review: Not worth $40.00
Summary: 2 Stars
Not worth the money. Difficult to use, not intuitive at all. Imported video from my DVD camera leaves audio and video out of sync. I've used free programs that were easier to use only the resolution of the finished product suffered. I expected more from Adobe.
