As usual you do the best review on the net! You are obviously very knowledgeable. I need help deciding which program can do the things I want to do. I'm doing the trials, just started, but since I'm so new to this it takes me a while to figure out the best way to do things. I'm doing home movies, and I envision doing two things in particular. One is I want to be able to zoom into a face and put into a frame? or shape and move it. Pinnacle does this with their Creative Pack Add Ons(possibly otherwise, too) The Winter Pack, ornaments. It also does something similar in Prem.Pk wedding2, where the the scene is captured and turns into a framed moving object,a transition,I believe. However Pinnacle seems to be limited to doing it only their way. I've never seen anything quite like them in the other programs. The other thing I want to do is have 3 or 4 videos overlapping(faded edges)at the same time, but not in squares or split screen etc.Like a video montage. Ple-e-ease, can you help me?

@Barbara Allen Not sure about the framing aspect, but Premiere Elements has had exceptionally good motion control, cropping, zooming, and layering abilities right from the first release. I suspect the clip art added in the latest version could have what you're after, but you could easily create your own graphical frame in Photoshop Elements and use that.

It's supposed to run on Windows 7, but I actually had problems running it on 64-bit Windows Vista. This was preview code, though, so you can't infer from that it doesn't work. I would be very surprised, as Premiere Pro runs just fine on 64-bit Windows and Elements uses the same basic codebase.

Hi there- Do you know if the Adobe Photoshop Elements and 8 and Adobe Premiere Elements will be able to run on a HP Pavillion Slimline s7520n desktop PC from 2006? I looked at the specs on my HP and the system requirements for the Adobe package, but I get confused when it starts talking about number of GHz and GBs. I really would like to get this program, but I just need to know if it will run smoothly on my computer...

Here is the link to the specs from my computer- http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00696073&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3199127#N938

And the system requirements for the Adobe Photoshop Elements and 8 and Adobe Premiere Elements- http://www.adobe.com/products/psprelements/systemreqs/

Maybe you could look at them and compare them and help me out! I'd be so greatful!! GREAT review, by the way!

This product was the most unstable and unreliable software I've ever come across. Wouldn't run under Windows 7 or Vista without frequent crashes and crashes infrequently under XP

@Cowboy: Sounds distinctly like a problem with your PC, whether it be hardware or a software clash. It's impossible to be specific but that is definitely the more likely scenario.

If you're after a solution for HD (1980*1080), forget APE and all the other entry-level solutions. They're hopelessly slow and *all* crash whilst saving. After trying Adobe Premiere Elements, Ulead Video, Pinnacle and Cyberlink PowerDirector, the only program which works with HD videos is Sony Vegas.

In a nutshell, you get what you pay for.

I have had a very difficult time trying to determine what is the simplest software for editing my video for color and brightness, as you do in Elements for photoss. ANy help would be greatly appreciated!
