Having
just used Adobe’s new video-editing program to create a soccer video
for my daughter, I can tell you that Premiere Elements is designed to
make professional-level editing more accessible to everyone. My editing
went faster and easier than any video editing I’ve ever done before. The interface is set up for ease of use. A task bar with six tabs gets you started immediately by offering fast access to key elements of the video-editing process: capturing video from the camera, editing, adding effects (and the program has many of these, including some templates to help you begin), titling, then exporting back to tape or DVD. A simplified timeline makes the editing work quick and easy (plus, most effects are shown in real time, although final quality requires rendering time). In addition, Premiere Elements lets you do multiple tracks of video and audio beyond what most programs are capable of at this price ($99). This is a valuable asset because it gives you many options for visual effects and audio enrichments. Video looks its best with clear audio to support it.
