Get started quickly with all your video clips and photos at your fingertips and easy options for transforming them into polished movies.
Start quickly with all your media at your fingertips
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.
Jump-start your editing with Movie Themes
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.
Customize
Show your personal style by enhancing your movies with dazzling visual effects and transitions, rich audio, and interactive disc menus.
Mix and refine your audio for greater impact
Use background music and sound effects to underscore emotions, add emphasis, or create a mood. The new Audio Mixer works just like a mixing board in a recording studio, letting you adjust relative volumes with sliders so, for example, dialogue can be heard clearly over music.
Animate titles to fit your movie's personality
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.
Share
Broadcast far and wide by uploading your movies directly to YouTube or your personal sharing site; share with family and friends on DVD, mobile phones, and portable media devices; and even enjoy movies in high definition, including on Blu-ray Disc.
Share your stories on the web
Easily upload your movies 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.
