What's new in Premiere Elements ? - Adobe Support Community - .Adobe Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements : : Software
Going forward, Elements adopts an updated naming convention that uses the upcoming year as part of the software name, as opposed to old-fashioned version numbers. The previous version number was For a detailed discussion of specific Organizer updates, see our review of Photoshop Elements The feature also supports an overhaul of the Slideshow tool, which turns out a template-driven animated visual within minutes for sharing on social media.
Sometimes you just want to showcase a single frame from a video, but to do that you must painstakingly scrub through a movie to locate and select those frames. This AI-infused feature is designed to do automatically what you would otherwise do visually: scrub through your footage for the best single shots. Candid Moments: In almost every video, I found stills that I liked better than the ones the program automatically chose. In analyzing why the AI engine chose the frames it did interesting lights, objects in focus, and of course faces and groups of people , its selections made sense.
Nevertheless, I found the initial results hit or miss, especially with only six frames chosen by default; you can use the slider to generate additional frames. While auto choices were sometimes less than satisfying, the app did much better with people than with animals. Bottom line: I look forward to continuing improvements in this useful feature. You can assist by customizing the algorithm to look for people, action, or both, and extract the minimum or maximum amount from the final version.
The feature maintains flexibility by letting you easily add footage back into the movie right on the timeline without a lot of tedious snipping and trimming. The program automatically assembles all the clips with transitions into a final product, for quick, no-fuss posting on social media. The tool worked well with casual videos, especially those without a defined soundtrack, as opposed to voice narratives, demos, or musical performances where, despite the transitions, cuts sounded a lot less subtle.
Every upgrade hosts several, and I tried them on for size. Animated Social Posts: This neat storytelling tool lets you apply customizable static or animated text effects to a short video to quickly create social media memes and messages.
Quite a variety of templates are available in categories like Decorative, Geometric, Formal, and Fun. You just need to choose one, set the start and end points for the animation, and type in a stylized message. Freeze frames with motion titles: This guided edit lets you emphasize parts of your video by freezing a frame and then adding a motion title. You just have to specify which frame you want to use while the guide takes you through some easy steps.
Now, Adobe has come up with a technique that does something similar with a few customizable steps to create a sharable short video. Fix Action Cam Footage: This guide is designed to fix fisheye lens distortions from GoPro and similar cameras as well as trim and correct color.
The edit sequence first trims the fat off of your video to distill it down to the best footage. From there, you apply the Lens Distortion effect, adjusting the Curvature slider until the video looks in perspective. Or you can just trim and color correct the video yourself and use the Lens Distortion effect on its own, as you could in the previous version.
The Fix Action Cam footage guided edit can nix lens distortion, but it is often a painstaking process. See before and after perspectives. While the edit worked to improve GoPro footage, it was a slow, processor-intensive experience, often accompanied by fan action from my late MacBook Air.
Performance was inconsistent: The slider acted intermittently cranky, balking with a beachball at being moved, though at other times it moved without incident, while the preview moved haltingly, playing catch up with both slider adjustments and the timeline marker.
The Lens Distortion controls respect your last setting, and do not revert to zero with new clips. Adobe has yet to adopt it for Premiere Elements. Despite the popularity of Virtual Reality and headset viewing, and broad social media adoption of this kind of output over the last couple of years, Adobe does not consider the VR crowd as part of its target market. That means if you bought one of these newly affordable degree cameras, you will not be able to edit that footage with this app.
Premiere Elements customers may not be the edgiest hipsters on the block, but enthusiasts are showing intense interest in degree cameras, as they are dead simple to use, and prices are dropping. This version still does that, with a boost of intelligent automation from the updated organizer and social networking oriented guided edits.
Various performance issues marred the Action Cam Guided Edit, which could have been more streamlined and fluid. Pros Useful set of creative new guided edits Smart Trim feature takes the work out of cutting Candid Moments is helpful in choosing where the good still shots are located.
