What Customers Say About Adobe Premiere Elements 7 [OLD VERSION]:

What good will it do the reinstall the same buggy software.I wish I could find something else to edit video on the PC, but I've invested a lot of time learning how to use this software. I often have to import tapes several times to get a glitch-free copy.I can make a Blu-ray by exporting to MPEG and using Roxio to author the disc.Adobe support is utterly useless.

Every version has bugs that cause me to waste hours of time. Adobe software seems particularly poor at interfacing with hardware.I have two 2-hour movies which Premiere Elements cannot burn to Blu-ray.

I've used Premiere Elements versions 1, 2,4 and now 7. For some stupid reason, Premiere Elements can't burn a Blu-ray to a folder or disc image.I also experience frequent glitches when Premiere Elements imports from HDV tape.

After six hours of rendering, the process aborts with "fatal error." If I burn to DVD, it doesn't track properly in my DVD player. Fortunately for DVD, Premiere Elements can burn to a folder, then I can use a reliable program like Roxio to burn a DVD.

They take three days to respond with stupid suggestions like uninstall and reinstall Premiere Elements. If you haven't invested the time to learn this software, avoid it at all costs.

Also video playback is very unreliable, it never plays the whole piece, just the audio runs and it stays at a certain picture of a scene most times. Every time Premiere runs it freezes and goes into a white screen. I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FW170J that runs on 4gb RAM and 2.26 GHz Processor. I recommend saving your money and purchase something else. If I wait for at least five minutes it will come back. But as soon as I try to edit more of my project or video it will do the same thing. I don't like to advertise, but if you want something easy and runs smoothly, Magix works decent. If you have a Mac, you should know to stick with FinalCut.

After using Premiere Elements 7 I have come to dislike Adobe. Always get the low resources message: hmm this is a quad core, 500gb, 3gb of RAM now at first thought it was some other things installed on my PC that is taking up the resources. Hey I have been editing with Adobe products for a long time since Adobe Premiere Elements 3 and with Adobe Premiere as well. Crashes (running on Vista)2. Codec issues up the wahzu.Overall its a chore to edit now you can do almost everything quick and easy but to finalize, burn it, save it replay it then you have a nightmare. I am in the works to going to Mac. Audio is skipping on less you rendered which is surprising, I did not have to do that for version 3 or 4.4.

So there were no programs installed except what came with the PC when I bought it. Well I needed to edit HD video that I shoot with my Canon VIXIA HF100. But I had the same issue when I installed this program on my machine when I first got it last year or so. My elements 3 is way better here are my reason for a crappy Elements 7.1. To do a little more you have to subscribe to a subscription (themes, certain effects etc).3. This is a DELL XPS 420.5. I do not recommend this hopefully version 8 is better.

What I ended up doing is going back to PhotoShop Elements 7 and creating a video CD of the slideshow, and, luckily, it plays in all of my DVD players. I cleaned up my brand new computer, turned off the screen saver, etc.

Adobe PhotoShop Elements 7 does what it says it will do; not so with Premiere Elements 7.I purchased this software because I created a slideshow in PhotoShop Elements for my mother's 90th birthday party but could not burn it onto a DVD; one could do that (theoretically) only using Premiere Elements, and that's why I went ahead and purchased it.After several hours spent attempting to a burn a DVD of the slideshow and having all attempts thwarted ~ low memory messages; "Error compiling movie, out of memory"; "Adobe PRE7 encountered a problem and needs to close" (that happened 49 seconds before the end of the burn); and the very frequent "TRANSCODING ERROR".Just what the heck is a "transcoding error" any way. I should have heeded the other reviews, but, NOOOOOOOO, I just knew my experience would be different.

I uninstalled the program and re-installed the program. I'm not alone in encountering these problems, as evidenced by going through various message boards.

Adobe creators of this program need to hang their heads in shame. I even tried creating the entire slideshow using Premiere Elements.

I wasted all that time and money attempting to use PRE7.

This is also noted on the box. If I were editing on a PC, this would be my choice.I originally wanted to review this product from experience, but all I can give you is my impressions of it.

As a MAC user, (which is why I have older PC hardware), I have significant iMovie/iDVD experience. I can say this this is the best choice for inexpensive, yet powerful video editing on a PC.

The video overlays, titles, effects, and transitions look amazing. Looking at Elements from this perspective, I can say that it is nice to see a Timeline view for editing in Elements.

It also has an iMovie-ish Sceneline editor as well.It is also nice to be able to use video from any device, burn a blue-ray disc (not an option for Macs at this point) and do video composite work. When I tried to install it on my custom-built PC from 2005 (AMD Athlon XP 3200+) the installer disc stated that my computer does not support SSE2 instruction sets.

As a result I could not install this product on my machine.
