Adobe Premiere Elements

Adobe Premiere Elements is a powerful video-editing software that packs numerous tools in an easy-to-navigate interface that makes it suitable for advanced and beginners alike.

While some may argue that it is nothing more than a stripped edition of Adobe Premiere Pro, they are in fact very different. The tool has another audience, namely the average user who wants to manage the special moments in their lives or wants to get started with media editing.

As previously mentioned, the tool can be used by both experts and beginners, the latter having the benefit of guides to help them make various edits. If you are new at this, access the Guided tab, select one of the tutorials available and the app takes you step-by-step through the process.

Take note that while the basics are there, you can find more in-depth information on other media aspects, such as getting a correct tone automatically, via the web on the dedicated Adobe Help section.

The application comes with an impressive number of features, functions and tools any beginner would ever want and need, starting with lots of tracks for your video and audio clips. One thing worth mentioning is that it packs a ton of templates that you can experiment with.

You can enhance the video with text, audio and special effects, but you cannot customize as much as you would with Adobe Premiere Pro for instance. From this point of view and judging by the number of templates, it would be safe to assume that the tool is more suitable for those who want to learn the basics of editing. Although some may argue that it can be better by sporting more tools and effects, the basics and beyond are here.

Lastly, you will be happy to learn that Adobe Premiere Elements allows you to export projects specifically designed for popular social networks, including here Instagram, Vimeo, Facebook and YouTube. Nevertheless, if you prefer to save it to a DVD or another device, you can also do it just as easily.
