What do you like best about Premiere Elements?

Premiere Elements is a great video editing software due to its relative intuitiveness and simplicity of use. It has really good built-in training and enough features to do pretty much anything an amateur content/film creator would need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Premiere Elements?

The older versions of the software seem to have some limitations on the ability and ease of formating video for various social media platforms. Have had some issues in the past with software freezing during a project and losing some of the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Premiere Elements:

Premiere Elements will take care of most video editing needs and has a relatively low learning curve Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Premiere Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

I currently use Premiere Elements for quick and easy video editing for social media marketing and webpage design. Also, use Premiere Elements for video editing for online courses and YouTube "explainer videos". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Premiere Elements?

Adobe Premiere Elements (when purchased as a package with Adobe Photoshop Elements) costs between $100 and $150 for both applications. They have some advanced features that are reserved for the subscription Pro versions, but I've never needed any of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Premiere Elements?

The only complaint I would have about it is that you are limited to a smaller number of tracks in the application, so if you have a long video, with lots of media added (images, picture-in-picture, etc.), you might have to combine items into a single track, although this has rarely happened to me with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Premiere Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Premiere Elements to make YouTube videos for a YouTube channel I run, as well as for some groups that I'm a member of. I've also used it for work-related training videos that I do screen recordings of software overviews for employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Premiere Elements?

Elements have all the basic tools that you need for basic video editing and especially if you are new/beginner. It's very easy to use and has a very slick, modern minimalistic user interface so you won't feel overwhelmed by just looking at it. You'll know if you have used after-effects or sony vegas or similar tools. You don't need any training to get started with this software even if you are using it for the first time, you'll be good to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Premiere Elements?

Well, its biggest advantage is its biggest draw. It's simple, easy, and good for basic video editing but lacks the punch when it comes to more advanced editing. needs more effects, transitions, and customization options.

Not a deal-breaker though, but for someone who is looking to dig deeper into the editing world will be more comfortable or feel powerful with premier, final cut pro, or avid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Premiere Elements:

Packs pretty much all you need to get started with basic video editing. Perfect solution if you are not an expert and doing it just for fun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Premiere Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

Good for basic video editing when you are on your laptop, or mobile device and on the run. Mostly making a traveling video or just fooling around with fun stuff and what doesn't require too much editing.

Just drag and drop your clips and music and voila. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Premiere Elements?

The interface is easy to use, there are many different tools and facilities offered by the software in addition to being able to export the finished product into a large variety of file types. I like the fact that it is possible to export saved documents directly to YouTube and other platforms from the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Premiere Elements?

The software takes a long time to install and is still prone to occasional bugs that can crash the program. I would have liked to see a more prominent autosave and/or restore feature as this would have removed the potential loss of work had the software crashed. However, it should be noted that this review is based on a previous version of Premiere Elements and this functionality may now have been included. If this is the case then I would find little to fault with the software, though it's limitation is linked to the processing power of the computer you are using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Premiere Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used the software for video editing and applying additional features to my content to provide a cinematic experience for the consumer. It is easy to apply multiple effects and be creative in terms of effects which means it is very simple to create a product that embodies my imagination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Premiere Elements?

This video editor has everything you need, it is very intuitive and with all the necessary tools to make professional quality videos, from editing tools, design, effects, transformation, and animation, with which we will have many options to choose from. When editing our videos, the program offers a wide variety of insertion options in the edit bar to insert images, text or effects, from where we create the sequence of the video clips as well as a distribution of it, we also have tools To separate video from audio and edit them separately and later re-combine, among the effects tools it contains transition effects between clip sequences as well as blurring, transformation, gradient and color saturation, with which we can make green screen effects or video overlay on video, as well as add watermarks to our videos Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Premiere Elements?

I would like the program to have more audio editing tools, and more pre-established effects to be able to add them with a click Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Premiere Elements:

This software is easy to use, I recommend that you first drag all the files you are going to use to the edit line and then start editing after finishing the sequence Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Premiere Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

When we do video editing with this program we quickly add files such as audios, images or different video clips as well as narrations as the case may be, later add them to the editing line to cut them, transform them or combine them to finally have a sequence where we can go on to add the start, entry, subtitles or color effects, we can also add different effects to the audio to match the video, then we add the overlays and transparencies where in case of news services we add watermark to the video, or the narration boxes of the announcer, to finally have a professional quality video ready to upload to our sites and networks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Premiere Elements?

It has been adapted for novice consumers. simple interface. user friendly. other programs are not difficult to use. It has a language that can be used all over the world. For this reason, I did not have much difficulty in the learning phase. I could learn without an education. You can be a good video editor with 2-3 hours of labor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Premiere Elements?

Videos take up a lot of hard disk space. I am using it on a small Macbook. this makes me sad. It negatively affects my work. I have to use extra memory. This is what I usually complain about.

Run files are usually large. but most of this problem belongs to my computer.

I am thinking of changing the computer soon.

I am waiting for your suggestions :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Premiere Elements?

The menus and thumbnail images that show the different effects and transitions between your inserted content are a great guide visually and the sheer number of them is almost overwhelming, leaving you with many options as to how to present your work and make it look very professional! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Premiere Elements?

The help menu and topics that can be searched for are quite limited, a list of possible options should be shown and an auto complete feature should display a list of possible topics that you may be searching for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Premiere Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

My main problem is how to add titles and text and make them fade in and out to a professional looking standard when presenting my videos on platforms such as Youtube and Vimeo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
