  • Feeling at Home with Adobe Premiere Elements
    02_578812 ch01.qxd 10/5/04 10:31 PM Page 9 Chapter 1 Feeling at Home with Adobe Premiere Elements In This Chapter ᮣ Introducing Adobe Premiere Elements ᮣ Taking the Grand Tour ᮣ Making your first movie few years ago, video editing was only practical for people with a lot of Afancy editing equipment and piles of cash. But a revolution has been hap- pening for a few years now, a revolution that is putting the moviemaking art within reach of almost anyone. The revolution has occurred in three phases: 1. The creation of mega-powerful computers with huge hard drives that are unbelievably affordable has changed the rules of video editing. Such computers incorporate technologies like IEEE-1394 FireWire, which make working with video easy. 2. The advent of affordable digital camcorders has made collecting high- quality video a snap. These camcorders interface easily with computers. 3. The clincher is software. High-end video editing programs like Adobe Premiere Pro and Apple Final Cut Pro brought pro-caliber video editing to desktop computers, and simpler programs like Apple iMovie and PinnacleCOPYRIGHTED Studio made editing software MATERIAL affordable. I hesitate to call Adobe Premiere Elements the next step in the video editing revolution, but it’s definitely a step forward. Premiere Elements delivers about 90 percent of the video-editing power of high-end programs like Final Cut Pro for an astoundingly low retail price of just $100. I cannot think of another pro- gram that costs less than $300 and offers anywhere near the level of features of Premiere Elements.

The video and audio clips you need to complete the video are located at: Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements\4.0\Sample Files. Note: If you’ve been using Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0, restore your workspace to the default settings by choosing Window> Restore Workspace so that you can easily follow the tutorial. 1. Start an Adobe Premiere Elements project. Start Adobe Premiere Elements. In the Welcome screen, click New Project. In the New Project dialog box, and type a name for your project.

  • Get to Know Premiere Elements 15 What’S What and What It Does
    The Muvipix.com Guide to Adobe Premiere Elements 15 Get to Know the Premiere Elements Workspaces Basic Video Editing Moves What’s New in Version 15? Chapter 1 Get to Know Premiere Elements 15 What’s what and what it does The interface for Premiere Elements has been designed by Adobe to be as simple and as intuitive as possible. It is also remarkably customizable, with a wealth of powerful tools in obvious and, once in a while, not so obvious places. There have been major changes to the interface in the last few versions of the program. But you’ll quickly �nd that, for the most part, it makes for an improved editing experience all around – for the newbie as well as for the veteran. Elements Live The �rst time you launch any of the Elements programs, the interface will default to eLive, a link directly from the programs to an exclusive website full of exciting ideas, tutorials (including a number created by yours truly!) and other content especially for Elements users. eLive (Elements Live) can be accessed from any computer with a live internet connection by clicking the eLive link at the top center of the program’s interface. 1 CHAPTER 1 The Premiere Elements Interface Get to Know Premiere Elements 15 The Monitor panel The Monitor is the panel on which you’ll preview your movie as your work.
