Pinnacle Studio took 1:45, and Adobe Premiere Elements held up the rear with 4:01. That's even after I switched my graphics card to one that Premiere Elements explicitly supports. Here's a great option for a fantastic video editor for videos. Adobe Premiere Elements (13/14/15) is cheap, stable, and advanced yet has simple things to hel. Adobe Premiere Pro, Corel VideoStudio, Cyberlink PowerDirector, and Vegas Pro are a few of the video editing suites available on Amazon that allow amateurs and professionals alike to edit powerful.

I have been using PrE for several years. Can anyone tell me how it compairs with PD? I've heard good things about PD but I wonder if it would make sense to switch to PD. I'm wondering what the pros and cons are. Michael

Adobe Premiere Elements Vs Powerdirector 15 Crack


The question is what are you currently doing with PE and what do you expect and intend to do with PD14 ?
Are you interest in particular features ? (4k, fast rendering, action cam....)
I consider that you will find good added value if you update to director suite with color director and audio director.

Apr 10, 2016 15:36 Hi Michael,
I can't give you chapter and verse on the comparison but for what it's worth I tried out Premiere Elements in the hope of finding a better DVD/Blu-ray authoring experience. Suffice to say I found PrE very disappointing in several areas and quickly switched back to Power Director. This wasn't anything to do with the learning curve - I completed a couple of projects with it - but I found the design of GUI very poorly thought out. Things like pop-up menus obscuring the timeline and a very strange approach to handling transitions with clips being extended by the repetition of frozen frames for dissolves are two that come to mind.
There are many things I continue to grouse about with Power Director but I'd say that in it's market sector it's probably among the best. I've even considered mortgaging my house and buying the full version of Premiere but in addition to the cost, which is hard to justify for the amount of work I do, I also fear the horrendous learning curve.

I already own v13 but there is a learning curve that I do not have the time to invest in, just keeping up with PrE curve is enough. That's why I posted this question, to get feedback from anyone who has used PrE or has switched and why. Michael

Apr 10, 2016 16:26 Thanks for you comments Theolilou,
Quote:Dear Michael The question is what are you currently doing with PE and what do you expect and intend to do with PD14 ?
I simply edit video clips that I've taken with my 2 cameras. I spend a lot of time key framing, I create slideshows using pan and zoom function then editing the result by adjusting the keyframes. I work a lot with transitions and titles. But I am still a relative novice when it comes to the more advanced features so before I get too invested I want to make sure I'm working with the editor that gets the best results with the least amount of effort; that has the lowest learning curve.
Are you interest in particular features ? (4k, fast rendering, action cam....)
Not sure what the '4k' and 'action cam...' features are. I'm particularly interested in are the only ones I know, like Rendering, which is a very time consuming process and has to been done way too often. What I have learned in PrE is that I can constrain the area of the timeline I want to render so rendering, for that area, can be accomplished in about 30 seconds. Speed mapping, key framing, pan and zoom, tracking, etc. most any feature that PrE has and that I've tried to impliment.
I consider that you will find good added value if you update to director suite with color director and audio director.
That would certainly be something I'd consider, if I decide to switch, but before I do that I need to figure out if switching is a good direction to go in or if I'd be better advised to stay with PrE.I could spend a lot of time learning how to use PD but I couln't possibly evaluate all the options of each progream on my own, I don't even know all the available options in PrE, because I'm still learning! I have the basics down but I couldn't really make an informed decision based on what I can do with the features I know. I need to hear from people who have advanced experience with both programs. What would be ideal is a side-by-side review of all the features of both programs, done by an advanced user, who knows and understands all the features of both programs and can compair them and make a recommendation.

I haven't tried to do this, yet, but I'm sure that one day I will want to. At this point my greatest, publish, concern is the size of my files. The, 'extinct' wmv format produces the smallest files but tend to act up down the line. I've created many wmv formated clips and put the on the SD card of my tablet. Recently 2 of them stopped working and PrE wouldn't let me import them again for editing. I had to go to a converting program, convert them to mp4, load them back into PrE elements and republish them as wmv files. I now keep a backup mp4 copy of all my wmv files.
That's the sort of thing I'm interested in hearing. Did you start with PrE?
I've even considered mortgaging my house and buying the full version of Premiere but in addition to the cost, which is hard to justify for the amount of work I do, I also fear the horrendous learning curve.

I feel exactly the same way, and have told Adobe as much! If my only option was to 'rent' Pr Pro I'd switch in a heartbeat!
I suspect that Pr Pro may have the edge on PD but since, like you, I don't intend to morgage my home, I've gone with PrE. I'm thinking that it's only logical that PD would have the edge on Elements simlysimply because Elements is a stripped down version of the Pro version, and PD is a 'full version'.
This wasn't anything to do with the learning curve -

Would you say PD has a lower learning curve? Is it more intuitive, or more reational?
the design of GUI very poorly thought out. Things like pop-up menus obscuring the timeline and a very strange approach to handling transitions with clips being extended by the repetition of frozen frames for dissolves are two that come to mind.
These are the kinds of things I want to hear, examples of how features compair, etc. thanks
There are many things I continue to grouse about with Power Director but I'd say that in it's market sector it's probably among the best.
I've hear that too, but I wanted to make sure it was just hype.
I interested enough to have actually purchased it, I just don't have the time to invested in learning how these two editors compair; I'm always running behind in my projects as it is! Michael

No I had PD first. I've been using PD9 for around 5 years then upgraded tp PD13 last year

That's impossible to say because I'd been using PD for several years before trying PrE. It didn't seem to take long to pick up the essentials of PrE though, sufficient to decide I liked PD better.
The first NLE I ever used was Pinnacle Studio, editing MJPEG video from a capture card connected to an analog Sony camcorder. With a change to an AVI digital camera I then moved on to a UK-designed slightly quirky product called EditStudio which I liked greatly but the designers lost interest in developing it so when I bough a HD camera I had to move on again. I seem to remember I tried Pinnacle again and also Corel Videostudio and Sony Vegas then PD. I finally chose PD as the most intuitive.
As I said I tried PrE to see if it offered a better DVD/Blu-ray authoring platform as I find the PD Disc Creator module is one of its weakest points. For authoring ordinary DVDs I still use a stand-alone program that I used with EditStudio as that is far better but it doesn't support Blu-ray so I'm currently forced to use PD for that. The PD Disc Creator is still very buggy and atrociously clunky and non-intuitve in my opinion so I've been searching for a stand-alone Blu-ray authoring utility but with no success so far.
I have no doubt that Premiere Pro would blow PD out of the water but it's in a quite different market sector, being a true professional product with price to match. Incidentally from what I read on the Premiere Elements forum it seems that the problems with the GUI I mentioned were the result of a fairly recent 'refresh' of the design. I think it was originally based more on the Pro version and I feel sure that would be immaculate.

Our verdict

Adobe Premiere Elements Vs Powerdirector 15 Download

Full review

Premiere Elements is the streamlined version of the successful video editing software developed by Adobe. Premiere Elements has always received positive reviews from software critics and this latest version shows real promise with more effects, transitions and output methods. We took a look to see how Premiere Elements stacked up against the competition.

Setup

Adobe Premiere Elements utilizes an Install Manager, which makes it easy to download and install. However, you will first need your own Adobe ID, which is free and can be set up in a matter of minutes. The installer will eventually ask you if you want to setup timecode frame rates for NTSC or PAL – NTSC is 30 frames per second, while PAL is 25 frames per second. In North America, NTSC is the usual format.

Installation of the software still requires that you reboot the system in order to complete installation. Adobe Premiere Elements is available for both PCs and Macs.

Importing

Adobe Premiere Elements allows you to upload pictures and video clips from any video or digital camera in nearly any format out there. Upload video from your DV, HDV, DVD, Flip or AVCHD camcorder, your webcam, your DVD drive, your digital camera media (SD, MicroSD, CompactFlash) or your smartphone.

Adobe Premiere Elements will then import your clips using a new application called the Organizer. With the Organizer, you tell the software where to import the content from, and you can specify which folders it will watch. Those watched folders will automatically be imported to Premiere Elements every time you add or remove a file from them, so you'll always have the most up to date listing of available content on your computer each time you open the software.

While the Organizer can make it difficult to view just videos as opposed to the rest of the content on the computer, the video editor itself makes this task quite simple.

The Organizer designed for grouping, tagging and browsing media files has been upgraded with new tagging technology. Auto Analyzer scans through your clips, tagging them for quality and interest (even utilizing people recognition) to make it easy to find the clips you want when you want them.

Video editing

When it comes to editing your movie Premiere Elements uses a sceneline and timeline like most other video editing software. There are a decent number of visual and transition effects to play around with. You simply drag and drop your chosen effect onto the preview panel.

Somewhat disappointingly motion tracking which was a nice feature of Premiere Elements 10 has now been removed from the package.

New video effect features include green and blue screen options allowing you to remove backgrounds and place a person or other object on a totally new background. Another cool feature is the NewBlue Cartoonr Plus, which will try and add a cartoon drawing effect to your video.

Fix shaky footage automatically, adjust the color and lighting, trim your clips so you are left with your best footage and basically create the best movie you can from your own footage.

One of the nicest features of Premiere Elements is the real-time video rendering that allows you to instantly preview any changes made to the timeline.

Audio editing

Audio balance helps to smooth out the rough spots in your soundtrack. When you're looking to add music, the wide range of audio tracks that can accompany your basic video provide a more professional finished soundtrack.

The SmartSound feature automatically adjusts your music tracks to match the length of your movie, and can even synchronize scenes to the beat.

Performance

When we tried the Adobe Premiere Elements software on our video editing project, we didn't encounter any problems with the performance of the computer. The program itself is a little slower than some competitors, such as comparable offerings from CyberLink (PowerDirector) and others.

Disc Authoring

The Adobe Premiere Elements video editing software contains all you need to create a polished end product, allowing you to burn directly to DVD and choose from a variety of chapter effects, DVD menus and more. The process of creating a final disc is simple to carry out.

Exporting

Adobe Premiere Elements provides several options for exporting to traditional media such as video tape, CDs, DVDs, HD Discs, or Blu-Rays, or new web media formats that can be viewed on smart phones, tablets or PCs via social media sites like YouTube and Facebook.

A useful addition is the 2GB of free online storage that will take care of your finished projects and photos.

Ease of use

Premiere Elements is aimed at users who want a simple drag-and-drop approach to creating videos. The entire process is streamlined so that you can easily find what you need, and most of the menus are options will be self explanatory. If you're in a hurry, there's an Instant Movie mode which will actually turn out an excellent result for you. Simply choose your theme, choose your clips and photos, and the software will turn your content into a video that will look good and sound great as well.

The interface itself is very polished, as we've come to expect from most Adobe products. The time, thought and effort alone that went into creating this interface make it easy to figure out exactly where everything is, what you need to do and get through your project as quickly as possible.

Tabs allow you to do most of the common tasks – Organize, Edit, Menus and more. Even some of the more high-end competitors, like Sony's Vegas Movie Studio, cannot compare in the areas of user interface and ease of use.

From beginner user to hobbyist and through advanced users, you'll be able to find all of the options you need, or scale down to make the simplest video possible. Adobe has done all they can to suit the needs of all their users in this newest release.

Help & support

Adobe offers a host of support options. You can call or email Adobe's customer support, as well as browse a selection of well written FAQs and search the KnowledgeBase. Adobe products also have a huge following, so there are forums and other resources available around the web to help you, whether you're having a technical problem or you simply need a how-to.

It's also possible to access how-to videos through the Organizer, if you're looking for a walkthrough on how to do a specific task that you might be having trouble with. The unfortunate thing about a lot of this content, as we mentioned earlier, is that much of this content is only available with the Plus level of the software. Still, most of the tips are fairly basic, and you can easily figure out much of it on your own or even by finding tutorials on the web.

Overall

Adobe Premiere Elements 2020 isn't exactly a huge overhaul of the Premier Elements software line, but instead a more streamlined version. You will find new features of course, such as integrated Facebook uploads as well as audio cleaning and more.

Another improvement in the software is an improved ability to import video from newer devices, such as the Flip line of cameras. The only major downside is that a lot of the content that you may find useful is only available with the Plus level to the software, which will bring the list price up to $139 from $99.
