Reading this review, I could only nod along with their findings - Premiere Elements 7 has a lot going for it, but it's ultimately plagued by bugs, strage behaviours, and limitations around codecs and file formats...... ...I'm still using it to produce the videos you see here - that's largely because I've set up templates in it .... Ultimately, Premiere Elements 7 as a program has a lot of potential, but it doesn't live up to it.
The referenced review - from maximumpc - seems to suggest that most of the problems are related to High Definition video clips (??), with some disdain for PE7's inability to handle non-mainstream video files.
Your comments seem to indicate more pervasive problems - is that a correct understanding?
Relevant Personally as am about ready to UPGRADE to a Photoshop/Premiere Elements 7 Combination box, at what seems Very Attractive Pricing (hmm: although + S&H, no doubt).
Would be moving from a Photoshop Elements 4 / Premiere Elements 2 package. Spend more time with Photoshop E, but HAVE used Premiere E for a couple of projects. Do NOT own a Hi-Def camera - would it "safe" to assume that stepping from Premiere E 2 to Premiere E 7 would be enough of an advance to OFFSET the glitches that ver 7 appears to present?
Thanks for any comments / advice!
