Create your first movie in minutes

  • Find what you need faster using the same Organizer that's included with Adobe Photoshop Elements software. Visually tag video clips and photos to categorize by people, places, or events. Then you can view, search, and sort your assets in a variety of ways--including by filename, tag, date, and time--and quickly start making your movie.
  • Turn a sequence of scenes into a polished movie in just a few clicks! Choose from event-based themes like Wedding and Birthday or style-based themes such as Silent Film and Music Video. Adobe Premiere Elements automatically applies coordinated transitions, music, and professionally designed layouts for titles, credits, and disc menus. Apply themes to entire projects or just the portions you specify.
  • Create your story faster in the Sceneline, an easier alternative to the more traditional video-editing Timeline, where you can make a movie by simply dragging and dropping thumbnails of your clips, transitions, and effects. Practical new options, like the ability to copy and paste thumbnails, make the Sceneline even easier to use.

Show your style with amazing effects

  • Choose from a set of world-class Adobe fonts designed to look great on video, and customize them with shadows, glows, and other effects. Then animate your titles to make them bounce, spin, or zoom across your scenes.
  • Add in background music and sound effects with the new Audio Mixer, which lets you easily adjust relative volumes. And create slideshows and movies that move to the music by letting the software detect the tempo of your soundtrack and sync the beginning and end of each scene with the beats.
  • Easily personalize your menus! Start with professionally designed menu templates, and then type in text and drag and drop to add your own video clips, images, and audio.

Share your movies virtually anywhere

  • See all of your sharing options in one convenient location, the new Sharing Center. Follow easy steps for creating your movie once and then sharing it in multiple ways, including on disc, the web, and mobile devices.
  • Add a custom, interactive menu and scene index, and then share your movie on a single- or dual-layer DVD or high-definition Blu-ray Disc that's optimized for best results.
  • Broadcast far and wide by uploading your movies directly to YouTube or your personal sharing page. Adobe Premiere Elements 4 takes care of optimizing and formatting for the specific destination so your movies always look great.

1 out of 5 stars Great features, If only would stay running   November 11, 2008
Jeff Goin (Naperville, IL)
Great features but it's extremely slow to load and is terribly buggy. On an HD project with four layers and keyframes, it's utterly unusable due to crashing. I've gotten weird behavior, errors during renders and, worst of all, shutdowns. It is unusable since it now takes approximately 2 minutes to load and I get a major crash within a few minutes of trying to do anything useful.

I've got three fast hard drives and 3 Gb of RAM on Win XP so you'd think that would be enough.

It would be an incredible program if it could keep running.



1 out of 5 stars Absolute junk   November 9, 2008
W. Klein (MD, USA)
I purchased this software for use on XP and have since reinstalled it on Vista. On XP it was buggy yet usable. On Vista it is buggy and useless. Your projects cannot be exported to DVD/CD or PC, at least in any of the formats I tried. All of the problems Premier Elements 4 has are well documented yet Adobe has never patched it. Are you a sucker? If not, don't waste your money. Windows DVD Maker is plenty for the home user and way easier to use.

I wish I would have read the reviews first. I upgraded from Premier Elements 2 to 4...and that was a big mistake. The program crashes and takes FOREVER to load video...I just deleted it and lost out on my money. Never will i go Adobe again.


1 out of 5 stars Fun While It Lasted   August 26, 2008

Awesome, a low-budget version of the professional Adobe Premiere Studio, what could sound better? Warm pancakes? Maybe...but Premiere Elements could have turned into a classic software, great for students, beginners, and inspiring film-makers who can't afford the average $799 price tag for the full blown version. The Adobe Elements series as lasted this long, solely on it's prime series of Adobe Photoshop Elements. I work full-time as a MultiMedia Production Specialist, doing video-editing, graphic designer, and various other MultiMedia duties. I tap into the Adobe group every single day to do various aspects of my job, and I have loved what I have worked with.

Coming from a very big dollar company, we can afford the full blown Creative Suite which is well over $1,000. However, we budget when it comes to our office computers, in which we need Photoshop...so since Photoshop Elements 1, our company has kept updated as the updates roll by. Photoshop Elements is a fantastic program, but for some reason the Premiere Elements series has strongly lacked the potential it could be for an amazing budget software. I read through the reviews and all I saw was bad review, after bad review...but why? I have dealt with Photoshop Elements all this time...how could Premiere Elements be THAT BAD? I took the advice of one reviewer here and downloaded the Trial Version of Premiere Elements 4.

From the get go, the interface is a matching feel for what Photoshop Elements 6 is...dark interface, different navigation than the full blown version, and a semi-beginner friendly atmosphere. I actually love the interface for the software, even though it is totally different than what I typically deal with on a normal basic when we would with the CS2 suite. But I found it interesting and quickly began to try and "prove the reviews wrong", maybe the people didn't know what they were talking about or maybe they didn't have the right system requirements. Well, like most people here, I put it to the test with a top of the line video editing system.

I wrapped myself around the software and explored the slimmed down version left and right. I thought hey, this would be pretty fun for a beginner, or person trying to get a budget software to start them up...I mean hey...it's from Adobe, it can't be bad. Then all my hope crashed, just like the software did...crashed. Not one, not twice, not three times, not...well...I gave up after the fourth time. Like a teenage school girl who just found out that the nerd in the back of the class likes her, I yelled..."Like..OMG!" Yeah, it was THAT BAD. The same THAT BAD that I didn't think was clearly possible, it's ADOBE for pete's sake! But Adobe has dropped the ball....BIG TIME. I do recommend the Photoshop Elements Series, but not this...stay away from it as far as possible.

If you want to test it, download the trial. You can do much reproducing, primarily because of a black bar across everything that you do that states that "This was done by Premiere Elements 4 TRIAL", but you can at least see if it is going to crash on you. Don't get your hopes high, cause it will. In a nutshell, had potential, but failed big-time. One can only hope that Adobe can hear the complaining by us and actually produce a Premiere Elements that is actually GOOD. Elements 7 is coming in October via some sources...maybe there can be hope in that.



4 out of 5 stars Good Overall   August 15, 2008

A good product overall. Exclellent features, especially preview and scanning of clips which can be shaky with similar products. It was not running well to begin with, though. I called tech support and it seems I had a problem with my WinTV card competing for the same codec. But the tech support guided me through the solution quicky and with great expertise. 5 stars for tech support (located in Oregon, not Calcutta or Hong Kong!)
Now it's working very well. But 4 stars vs. 5 as it's a little weak on menu creation. I am running on a 2.4 GHz computer, 1 GB RAM and 3 hard drives (1 for the OS and product install, 1 small drive reserved for temporary scratch data which makes it run much faster and the other for the imported videos)
