Separating the audio from the video though is still very simple to do.Īt this point though, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that Premiere Elements was not designed for this, though I could surely see how a multimedia journalist would want that feature without having to upgrade to Premiere Pro.įor a while, I went back and forth between that one movie to edit and in the end didn’t get something I liked unfortunately. So instead, you’ll need to ensure that you get that right in the camera or you export your audio to another program for editing.
Unfortunately, if you’re out near the ocean with lots of wind, Premiere Elements doesn’t have much of an editor for sound to cut down on the whirling that strong winds can give you.
Organizing, laying out, cutting, snapping, splitting, and all the basic joys that video editors go through was all very simple and in a period of around an hour or so, I was able to learn the program and create a video that I was very happy with, sans tweaking the sound to what I really wanted it to be. This review began back in September where I tried editing video footage from the Sony VG900 camcorder. My familiarity was with both Elements and Pro.īelieve me, Elements has come a long way and is very much changed. Back in college, I was a video editor and cinematographer and having used Premiere, Sony Vegas, and Final Cut, I was very happy with the offerings back then but leaned more towards Premiere. Perhaps it is because I haven’t used the program intensely for a very long time, but Premiere now seems strange. – New sharing features for a faster workflow Ease of Use After shooting footage with the VG900, 24-70mm f2.8, A99, and 50mm f1.4, we then imported the footage for editing.

Later on, we upgraded to a Macbook Pro 13 Inch Retina. Gear Usedįor this test we used Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on a regular Macbook. – Cutting clips and snapping them seems tougher to do now. – Porting settings from a normal Macbook over to Retina was quite clumsy and caused lots of errors – Doesn’t play so well with a MacBook Retina Display
– Multi-layering of videos is an excellent way to edit for beginners as long as they can keep their tracks synced Cons – Affordable solution for anyone looking to edit videos Here’s a quick summation of our findings over the past couple of months. Unfortunately, it can’t handle all of the more powerful codecs that today’s cameras can output. Premiere Elements has changed drastically from earlier versions, and I still believe that 8 may have been the best one. The program in general, however, is really quite straight forward and we believe that it will make editing easier for all those that only need to do the very basics with a little bit of extra power. We’ve been testing Adobe Premiere Elements 11 for a couple of months now and it’s been an interesting and sometimes frustrating experience.
