 Premiere element 4 & photoshop 6 November 15, 2007

I have been using Adobe premiere element software for some time now. I just upgraded it to the new version.Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 & Adobe Premiere Elements 4 As far as the video editing goes it is one of the best software available. It is very ease to use. I highly recommend it for the first timer user. If you are just starting out, read the manual or help full books on this product. Do not pay attention to manufacturer's PC requirements for this product. You need pretty fast PC to do any video editing. I have built my own PC so I know exactly my components' capability. This software is pretty simple but video editing is not like using word application. It is pretty involved and if you are stuck then you must troubleshoot it by yourself as the adobe support is minimalistic. It is recommended that you join user forum if you are serious about this product. The installation is fairly straight forward and you must have plenty of space on your HD. Also, defragment as often as you can to speed up the process. Make sure that you have at least 2G of RAM and choose 500G or higher HD as video files are very large. Use the firewire 400/800 interface as it is robust. Your graphic card needs to have 256 of memory and set the slot cycle on DA type. It will save a few PC cycles which helps. I do not use premiere for capturing as it is not stable. I use either Window movie make or use camera manufacturer software to eliminate any drop frame scenario. I have sony HD camera and its software works flawlessly. For the video editing you cannot buy a better software for the price it works very well. Editing the clips and setting key frames is a breeze and pretty robust. For the home movie enthusiastic the transitions and video effects are plenty full and will give you professional looking results. The DVD titles templates are very good and plenty to choose from. You can also create you own using Photoshop. The part which really sucks is the adobe DVD burning software. I could never make it work right. The best software that I know of which works flawlessly is NERO. I troubleshot every bit of DVd burning issues and still I do not get a reliable burning. To work around it I create the VOb files on the HD and use NERO to burn it. It works every time flawlessly. I also have had drop frame and sync issues with premiere for capturing my older analog tape. The best product which works flawlessly that I use is the ADVC 300 (Advance DV converter) from Canopus (Grass Valley Group). It is a professional product at a consumer price and canopus technical support just rocks.
PRO: Very good for video editing provided you have a PC with plenty of Horse Power.
COn: Manual sucks, DVD burning software is a real problematic. Save your sanity and use a third party software to burn the media. video editing is not for everyone because program crashes often and you have to troubleshoot the issue yourself and it could be pretty frustrating. I know I have been thru it many times. Always check and download the latest drivers and patches. It will fix all the known bugs for you.

I have used the previous versions of the Adobe Elements softwares for Photoshop and Premier. They are both excellent scaled down versions of their full blown versions at an affordable price. I use the the word scaled down loosly as both of these packages "perform" like their expanded versions. Although each contain many presets that save time and provide very watchable results there is plenty of flexibity for invidual creativty. They allow the user to go way beyond the basic enhancement and editing tasks of other softwares and one can create very professional and unique final shows.
A bundle primarily for video editing November 13, 2007
164 out of 170 found this review helpful
This software bundle is primarily for people that want to do video editing, because that's how the product synergy goes - Photoshop Elements is extremely useful for making DVD menu templates and still images that can be used in Premiere, but Premiere Elements offers very little to those primarily working with still images (the still images Premiere can pull from videos tend to flicker and be of low resolution).
So, if you're looking to buy this bundle, you need to ask yourself this question: are you interested enough in video editing to pay roughly $50.00 extra for such a program when Windows users get a basic video editor for free (most versions of Vista and XP come with Microsoft Movie Maker, but most people don't realize that they have it installed)? If you've used Movie Maker and you want something more powerful, then this package is a great deal. If not... why not try the free option first before investing in both programs?
As to the individual programs... Longer, more detailed reviews for each can be found on their individual product pages. For those that don't feel like searching, though: Photoshop Elements 6 is one of the best versions of the software I've used in years, and I highly recommend it; Premiere Elements 4, on the other hand, is much less stable than the previous version, and ended up being a disappointment. I can still recommend this bundle, but those purchasing it should be aware that Premiere Elements currently has some issues that Adobe needs to address with a patch (a patch that was not available at the time of this writing).
Note about system requirements: Premiere Elements is listed as requiring an Intel Pentium 4 or Celeron 1.7GHz (or compatible) processor (note the lack of support for AMD). RAM for XP is 512MB, 1GB for Vista. Photoshop Elements' requirements are slightly less, and are listed as only needing an Intel Pentium 4, Pentium M, or Intel Centrino 1.3GHz (or compatible) processor. Photoshop Elements also requires less RAM, and is listed at 256MB minimum.
