Consumer Video Editing Software – Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0
This Week’s Profile – Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0
Description: A powerful, but easy-to-use cross-platform video editing tool.
Product Highlights:
* Get started quickly with easy moviemaking options
* Amazing video and audio effects
* Excellent sharing capabilities
* Create your first movie in minutes
This program offers several benefits, including its link back to the powerful Adobe family of visual and audio editing tools. It comes with a large number of effects and templates and offers up to 99 tracks.
Titles and transitions are well implemented, and you can even add animation.
The themes option helps movies to appear very polished in a matter of minutes.
Retail $99.99 – should be available for around $105 at many online retailers. .
PUBLISHER’S NOTE: This review is based on the copy of the software I tested, not the most recent edition. I assume the newer version is only better. I only write reviews on software I actually own and I don’t have version 7.0. For most consumers, there’s no need to upgrade.
Great idea for a blog! In the past number of years, since I’ve become more interested in photography and could afford a camera, video never really appealed to me. I picked up a second hand camcorder for €90 and have used it for holidays and family events, nothing all that creative.
However with the option now of video capture on some new SLR cameras it opens up the option of video with different lenses (I’m thinking lensbaby or 50mm f/1.4) and the various effects that can be produced.
I’ve gone WAY off topic, but have a question. Premier Elements 4, how does it stack up against Apples iMovie software, which ships with OSX?

I am confused – your post talks of Premiere Elements 4, but when I went to find it on Adobe for testing, they have Premiere Elements 7. Is this the same product and just a newer version or am I missing something here (the price was also lower to buy it – only $99 for the full version…)

@Jason – I tested the version I had. Not the version they’re selling. I was unaware they’d lowered the price so I’ll change that. Thanks.
