4 stars (NICE AND AFFORDABLE TOOL FOR HOBBYISTS) - For the non-professional artist and/or film-maker, this is as good as image-making gets. The combination of Photoshop Elements 4.0 and Premiere Elements 2.0 let you take your hobby to the very top without breaking the bank. Despite running much slower than the 3.0 edition, Photoshop Elements 4.0 has a number of new improvements going for it: particularly when it comes to enhancing and arranging images. Flexible range of manipulative features were included in this regard. Still, I was disappointed that Adobe decided to remove the useful file-browser feature, (which was present in the Photoshop Elements 3.0 edition). Also, Premiere Elements 2.0 is capable of handling any amateur video and audio assignment that you may want to assign to it, but be warned that it is memory-hungry. Running this video-editing application on any computer with less than 512MB of RAM may end-up testing your patience to the fullest. Unless your patience compares to that of the biblical Job, do consider it wise to upgrade your RAM (if it is less than 512MB). In terms of processor, any Pentium 4 (or its corresponding equivalent) will deliver a decent performance. The same applies to dual Pentium III equivalents. A single Pentium III processor (or its equivalent) is not the best option here! Finally, another good thing about this software bundle is that they support a wide range of digital photo cameras and video cameras. The learning curve for both Applications is not that steep. For the average person, one week of dedicated studies (and practice) will get you mastering upto 90% of their capabilities. 5 stars (Tnx to Adobe providing best software for Hobbyiest User) - Thanks to Adobe for giving lots of features that I want for my need in single box so called Adobe Premiere Elements 2. It's good to resize all panels in single click and no need to take care about other panels, they automatically arrange. I recently bought Canon Optura 500 that...

5 stars (This product is a must-buy offer for video editing) - I've used this product for video editing of my recent errand to Nanital. I gave stunning results and I was amazed with its ease of usability. It also includes a very comprehensive help. In summary it is another accomplishment for ADOBE. 4 stars (Premiere Elements 2.0 is a Qualified Success!) - Premiere Elements 2.0 is pretty good and easy to use. While Pinnacle Studio 9 is a bit easier to use, Premiere 2.0 does seem much more reliable that Studio. The good is that you can output both Windows and Mac in addition to DVD format video, whereas with the Apple packages, such as iMovie or even Final Cut Express you're limited to Quicktime and non-Windows formats. Editing was relatively easy, yet still has a small learning curve; the should scale the items on the screen a bit better but if you have good eyes (and I don't!) you can find just about everything at your finger tips. About the only complaint I have is that the output quality is not as good as Final Cut Express. For some reason the resulting DVD image I created was less resolution than the original/source video which was a VOB file of an old 8mm Wedding film. Not sure why that happened but it did. Also the helptext gets an average rating from me. While some information is right there, easy to get at, other stuff isn't in the help or is worded a bit too obscure. Titling is about the only thing that Pinnacle does better. Premiere's is okay, but many of the checkboxes seem to work backwards. For example the "Start off Screen" for a rolling title caused the title to start on screen and roll off screen, whereas Start On Screen had the opposite affect. So trial and error comes into play. All in all, if you're a Windows User, I would recommend it, if you're a Mac user (I use both) I would use iMovie which normally comes with your Mac or iLife package. 5 stars (Good to buy as single, best with Photoshop Elements combination) - Thanks to Adobe for giving ...

5 stars (Thorough accounting) - This is a multifaceted program that out does itself! Takes a while to get to know it, but once you get rollin' you find out that it is very powerful indeed. I recommend it to any small business owner. 4 stars (Accounting for Small Business) - We upgraded to QB Premier from QB Pro to take advantage of the multiple pricing by amount - not percentage and it works well. However, there are still items that need consideration. For mail and phone orders, credit cards now require CVV codes and there is no place on the payment screen to include. I also believe that front end and back end info should be integrated. We would like to be able to use QB to send info to customers who have purchased a certain products rather than having to export to another program. ...

5 stars (Extremely userfriendly) - I have no experience of video editing before purchasing this program, and I must say that this program is very easy to use. I have a laptop with a Centrino P1500-M with 512 MB RAM and 60GB harddisk, and this is very sufficient. The program functions very well and smoothly. It was very easy to capture video from my Canon Elura 85, and the setup in the program itself makes everything very easy to work with. I've made 4 DVDs in a couple of days, with transitions, menus, added music, end credits, and such. I highly recommend this program to anybody who is interested in using a home version of video editing. 5 stars (Great all-in-one product) - I have had Adobe Premiere Elements 1.0 for a few weeks now, and I am very happy with it. It does everything I would want to turn my home video into DVDs: Capture the video directly from my camcorder, edit the video, author the DVD, and finally burn the DVD. I found working with it very easy. It came with an introduction DVD. After watching it (about 1/2 hour in length I think), I was ready to make my first DVD. Adobe Premiere Elements 1.0 only works with a firewire cable. My camcorder supports both USB and firewire, and other video applications work fine over USB, but Adobe Premiere Elements 1.0 requires you to use a firewire cable. It won't let you burn dual-layer (8GB) DVDs. Only 4.7GB DVDs can be burned. It also won't burn VCDs or SVCDs. However, you can output your video to MPEG, QuickTime, or Windows Media and burn it in another program. The DVD menus you can create are somewhat limited. You cannot do all the cool things you see in commercial DVDs. However, for home video, Adobe Premiere Elements 1.0 does what you need: Simple menus with "Play All" and "Select Scene" options. For the money, this is the best home video program I have found. 3 stars (Big Problems... At first) - I gave this a 3 star because of all the problems I had before I was able to finally burn a DVD with this progr...

5 stars (Pull out your credit card. You have to buy this!) - If you're reading this. You have Adobe Premier version 6 .5 or lower, and you one upgrade to Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5. The question the need to ask is, should you the answer is yes, a gigantic yes. Adobe Premiere Pro is so much better than the older versions of Premier, the user interfaces been totally revamped. It runs smooth. Its more intuitive. It really is a better program all around. Plus the integration with other Adobe products is outstanding.

4 stars (Great Product one small flaw) - As the title says this is a great product. It is easy to use and can be quite powerful, but the problem is if you are using anything other then Windows XP it won't even install. So if you are running Windows 2k and don't want (or can't) to upgrade to XP you may want to look elsewhere. 5 stars (Incredibly Powerful and Incredibly Easy) - I usually hate the Adobe user interface. They make incredibly capable applications but using them has always been a trial for me. That was not the case with Premiere Pro. It is quite simply a joy to use. Ease of use is generally indicative of a simple and limited program. That is not the case here. It is an extremely powerful application that can handle a wide variety of video editing tasks. That is what makes it worth the price tag. That it has a mostly well thought out interface and is easy to use is just a very appreciated bonus. The strength of this software is in its editing capabilities. It has a few bells and whistles but those are usually better handled by third parties. The basic engine that drives it all, however, is superb. I cannot recommend this program highly enough. It is worth the price. 5 stars (Adobe Premiere Pro rocks, don't buy this though) - If you wanna learn digital video editing, Adobe Premiere Pro is superpowerful has great effects integrates amazingly with Photoshop and after affects and encore DVD. DON"T BUY THIS though! if you're going to buy this spend the extra $300 on the video collection. It is well worth it with that, you get Adobe aftereffects adobe encore DVD Adobe audition and premiere Pro. For $300 extra. That is well worth it!

5 stars (A great video editing product with a great photo product) - I am thoroughly satisfied with Premiere elements and the photoshop elements bundle. My primary purpose was to capture video. I had software that came with my camera and my computer that were video packages but nothing was easy or very functional. I have been able to capture digital video on DV tape from a CANON digital camcorder and transfer it via IEEE 1394 firewire cable (purchased separately) to my computer. What you will like about this software: 1. Transferring video is easy - plug it in and let it start recording. Make sure you have enough free Hard Drive space available. Video takes gig's to record. 2. The video will be automatically subdivided into separate clips based on the breaks on your film. This makes it easy to add transitions and edit. 3. Adding effects and transitions is easy - just drag the one you want to the breakpoint on the clip. There are a good selection of fades and transitions which look professional. 4. You can add titles and captions with ease. Just create the caption and drag onto to the second video track in the segment you want to contain the caption. 5. It comes with a 20 minute training video that covers photoshop and premiere elements. In 20 minutes I could do everything I needed... and then some. 6. Burning to a dvd - I created one dvd on my first try with no glitches. It was a 20 minute video. 7. You can create DVD slideshows of picture galleries. Grab your photos and drop them on a video timeline and you're basically done. You can also add transitions and title pages and effects to these items as well. 8. Add music to your video sequences. Using digitally recorded music or any audio clip you can drop the audio track next to the video tracks to create background music. A buddy used a competitor's product two years back and it was painful and time consuming to create a dvd. Adobe has provided a great, feature rich product that when bundled wi...
