Software Reviews of Adobe Premiere Elements
Customer Review: How to fix a bug in a good program
Summary: 4 Stars
This editor is highly complex but seems quite capable. There is one thing poeple should know, however. If the program crashes immediately upon opening, and you have the popular program Total Recorder, then either uninstall Total Recorder -- it is not compatible with Elements -- or uninstall and reinstall and when re-installing Total Recorder, do not use the "driver" option. I hope you can benefit from a couple hours of frustration I have had. This program is worth the hassle. Customer Review: Limited use - Only for DV and no USB Video Transfer
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this editor hoping to edit a variety of videos, but it only works for DV - what a joke! You are limited to the size, compression, etc. of standard DV.
Also, I wish it supported the new USB 2.0 video transfer capability (called USB Video Class) being implemented by manufacturers so you don't need to buy a separate FireWire card. I'm thinking of getting a JVC GRDZ7U camcorder which has that feature and would love to bring the video directly into Premiere via a high-speed USB 2.0 connection.
Customer Review: I've been **USING** it - Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Premiere Elements (PE) for several months through several beta releases and have used the final version for a few weeks now. (DISCLAIMER - I am NOT an Adobe employee or shareholder.)
Previously I had bought and used two similar "high end" products and was not very happy with them as a new user and new to digital movie making.
I've found PE for my use to be much easier to use and more suitable than the other companies' products. It never once crashed or locked up my system (WIN XP) as did one of the competitor's products multiple times until I stripped every single program out of my computer, loaded every single update and finally got disgusted.
With Premiere Elements I even used other programs during the process of preparing the movie to be burned and then during actual burning and ended up with an hour of very nice looking video that plays great on both the computer and the DVD player.
I found as I got used to using it that I could produce a usable movie with little effort and as I became more familiar and "explored" other features and options I got to really like the flexibility of processing the sound to remove the noise from my low end Mini DV Camcorder and started to tweak the video in each scene where the shooting conditions weren't optimum.
My personal opinion is that you can't go wrong with PREMIERE ELEMENTS.
***I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SOFTWARE!***
Why not buy it WITH Photoshop Elements 3.0 in the package also available here from Amazon???
My personal opinion is that you can't go wrong with PREMIERE ELEMENTS and the package with Photoshop Elements 3.0 (which includes the features of Photoshop Album that used to cost extra) is a **great bargain** with this Amazon special deal.
I've been a casual user of Photoshop Elements 1.0 then 2.0 and 3.0 with the combined Album is likewise a wonderful program with some nice new features to make it even easier to use for the beginner while providing some more powerful new features.
***I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PACKAGE !***
