I say "presumably" because in all of the crash reports I've submitted - and I'd estimate I've submitted at least 50 of them in the past year - I've never heard back from Adobe tech support. Premiere Elements crashes so much that in version 8, Adobe introduced an error reporting wizard that asks you what you were doing when the application crashed, asks you for your email address, and presumably sends them crash information. It's been like this for years - check out this post of mine from 2008. I haven't seen an application crash this often since the days of Windows 95.
It crashes when editing a video, rendering a video, editing text, even exiting the application. I've never seen an application crash as often as Premiere Elements does. I find the user interface easy to figure out, the text tools are nice, and I have a nice, fast work-flow when using the program.
It's flexible in terms of output formats - I can create MPEG4 h.264 files at 1080p with two-pass VBR encoding at whatever bit rate I want.many consumer-level apps can't do that - and does basically everything I need it do. On the love side, it's incredibly easy to use and generates excellent quality output. I have a real love-hate relationship with Premiere Elements. 1 selling consumer video-editing software* enables users to turn raw video footage into professional-looking movies in minutes and share virtually anywhere with friends and family." Available for the first time on the Mac platform, Adobe's No.
21, 2010 - Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced Adobe(r) Premiere(r) Elements 9 software for both Windows(r) and Mac.
Unlike many other video editing programs on the market - I'm looking at you Adobe Premiere Elements - TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 leverages not only CUDA support, but Intel's new h.264 encoding acceleration built into the new Sandy Bridge CPUs. It's now in version 5.0, and with the addition of multi-track timeline-based editing, this is the biggest change yet. I reviewed version 4.0 back in 2008, and gave it high praise for its ability to import almost any video format and crank out a high-quality video in a variety of formats. TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress is a software "classic" amongst video encoders the company has long been known for their high-quality, flexible, and powerful video encoding software. Add video clips in practically any format, cut-out unwanted scenes, correct and enhance your video and audio, then encode to the format of your choice using custom settings or templates for popular formats." "Import, edit, enhance, and encode your videos with the easy-to-use interface preferred by users the world over. Still, Lightworks may be the video editing you're looking for if you happen to have video in a format it can support. Turns out this file format isn't supported - which is a real shame given it has become a standard consumer format.
Amazingly, it was used to cut "The King's Speech" together - and that says a lot for software that's still in beta! Unfortunately, I've been unable to figure out how to use it yet - when I start a new project and go to import the video files, my AVCHD videos are not available for import.
From here forward, you will always be able to download and use the latest version of Lightworks for free."Īn open source video editor? Sounds like it might be too good to be true, but looking at the list of features, it's quite impressive. Now you can freely download the most intuitive and advanced editor available. We are very pleased to have reached this first milestone.
We always said the first step would be to make the application freely available so that a large community of users could start becoming familiar with it. "Back in April 2010, we announced our plans to take Lightworks open source.
