What Customers Say About Adobe Premiere Elements 4 [OLD VERSION]:

It was very slow and useless. Everytime I tried to maximize the PE4 window, it would lock up. I had a MISERABLY BAD EXPERIENCE with this product. VirtualDub is a great FREE video editor.

This might have been the main problem. I downloaded PE4, and gave it a spin test for 30 days beginning of '08. It seems to me these Adobe people are more concencerned with whatever features they can list on the package, rather than how well the program runs internally.Ended up running Super/VD. Super/VD combo work great on just 1 MB RAM. It does NOT handle my Sony M2TS files, though the newer edition might.

Super is a great FREE converter program, and will convert m2ts to DivX/AVI flawlessly. I have edited my 1440x1080 m2ts files flawlessly with Super/VD. I am running XP, but only have 1 GB RAM. VD is cool for editing your avi files, joining, splitting, deshaking, rgb, etc. I found a m2ts plugin, which is decent, but then I could work on only 1 clip at a time.

1 min m2ts clip, would take about 10 mins to process. However, VD is not a DVD burner. Once I get a puter with more RAM, I will give them another 30 days FREE spin, and see if they've gotten better.

They have offered one solution, removing a plug-in which didn't help much. The box promises to support JVC Everio format MOD, but continually crashes when try to use these formats. I have talked with technical support several times. No other solution is offered except converting using another video editing program which makes Premiere pointless. Adobe doesn't fix the bugs in their programs they only offer a new version that you have to pay for.

Great features but it's extremely slow to load and is terribly buggy. It is unusable since it now takes approximately 2 minutes to load and I get a major crash within a few minutes of trying to do anything useful. On an HD project with four layers and keyframes, it's utterly unusable due to crashing. I've gotten weird behavior, errors during renders and, worst of all, shutdowns. I've got three fast hard drives and 3 Gb of RAM on Win XP so you'd think that would be enough. It would be an incredible program if it could keep running.

All of the problems Premier Elements 4 has are well documented yet Adobe has never patched it. On XP it was buggy yet usable. I purchased this software for use on XP and have since reinstalled it on Vista. Are you a sucker. On Vista it is buggy and useless. Your projects cannot be exported to DVD/CD or PC, at least in any of the formats I tried. If not, don't waste your money. Windows DVD Maker is plenty for the home user and way easier to use.

I wish I would have read the reviews first. I upgraded from Premier Elements 2 to 4.and that was a big mistake. The program crashes and takes FOREVER to load video.I just deleted it and lost out on my money. Never will i go Adobe again.
