Long a staple of digital photo editing (especially when using raw image formats) highlight and shadow adjustment is just as important with video footage when you want to get the lighting right. Add birds, butterflies, hearts, smilies, stars, smoke, and more around your main video subject. The format choices come with appropriately sized titles and backgrounds for the project format. A new project startup window lets you choose from among popular social media formats.
It's useful, for example, if you shot a video in widescreen but want to post it as an Instagram square. The tool analyzes your video clip to determine the subject or what's important and then crops your media to fit an aspect ratio it wasn’t originally shot in. This feature made it into Premiere Pro in 2019. What's New in Premiere ElementsĪ theme of this year’s Adobe Elements creativity software update is bringing AI smarts from its pro tools, Photoshop and Premiere Pro, to Elements users.
When you first launch the program, it asks if you want to send diagnostic information to Adobe. On Windows, the app requires SSE2 support on the CPU and a DirectX 9 or 10 graphics card with at least a 1,280-by-800 resolution monitor. You also need a reasonably powerful machine with a multicore CPU of at least 2GHz and at the very least 4GB of RAM and 5GB available hard drive space. Make sure you have a fast Internet connection and a capacious hard drive before installing the program, as it requires at least 6GB of disk space. A free trial gets you 30 days of full-featured program use, but any videos made with the trial are stamped with a watermark. If you're upgrading from a previous version, those prices drop to $119.99 and $79.99, respectively. Note that Premiere Elements is not a part of Adobe Creative Cloud service. These are one-time fees-no subscription needed. You can get Premiere Elements bundled with Photoshop Elements for $149.99 or as a standalone app for $99.99.
The program trails Editors' Choice winner CyberLink PowerDirector in the breadth of effects, rendering speed, and formats it supports, however. As well as being extremely easy to use, it lets you go fairly deep with multitrack and keyframe-based editing-or you can ignore all that and use its more-automated tools. But really, anyone who wants to create compelling videos without tackling a complex professional application like Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro can take advantage of Premiere Elements. Adobe considers the audience for its consumer-targeted video editing software to be what it calls memory keepers-people documenting special family moments.
