Can't get it to open I am still trying to get this installed and open it to use it. This is the third Premier Elements version I have purchased and I have had no problems until now. This should not be so difficult.
Adobe Premiere Elements 4 The program itself is extremely easy to navigate and understand. However, I had a lot of problems burning my projects to DVD. Adobe provided great service and they were always ready to help when I called their 1-800 number, but I am not happy with the many glitches I encountered with Premiere Elements 4. At first I couldn't burn my projects because my laptop and the program weren't communicating. After the problem was resolved, it happened again but this time a different technical issue caused the conflict. I eventually became too frustrated with the glitches to continue using the program.
Avoid this program The most unstable software I have ever used in 25 years of using a computer. The previous version was much better.
Absolutely worthless Could not use it at all. Crashed on Vista every time I went to burn to DVD. Crashed on XP approximately two minutes into editing, every time. What a waste of money. It's time for a class action lawsuit against Adobe for this junky product. Gave it one star because Amazon's review program won't let me give it 0.
Premieres elements 4 June 4, 2008 I just purchased Premiere Elements 4 a few weeks ago. I have found it to be an excellent video editing software. It's very easy to operate, and is capable of many types of editing work. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to create very good quality videos. If there is dificulty importing files from a video camera, the Adobe program is OK, it just means the camera uses a different codec. The Adobe tech supprt can assist in acquiring the needed codec. The Premiere elements 4 can be used for 30 days and returned if it isn't compatible with your video equipment.
