![]() So we go to effects here and we can scroll through these. You can also apply a variety of effects and filters. And then as we move the timeline over, we can see the transition happen and I can press play here to preview it. So, for instance, we can drag this box fold here between the two of them. There's a nice set of effects, including a bunch of 3-D effects, as well. And then we can choose from a variety of different transitions here. So we can go to the edit area up here and we can go to transitions. Let's go back to the seam line here and you can see the transitions. To show you some other things, we've got transitions that we could add. I can adjust the size of these and I can see small previews in here. So in the timeline here, I've got - you can see that the clip on the left is much smaller than this clip on the right. And then I can switch back and forth between the seam line here and the timeline. And I can drag the next clip there, as well. ![]() If I drag and drop a movie from my organize area into here, you can see I've got an area for transition and I've got the video itself, another area for transition and a space for the next clip. And timeline is the old-fashioned way of doing things. So the seam line is kind of like how iMovie works, except it's just one long line going from left to right. At the bottom, we have the seam line, or timeline. At the right here, we have the area where you can grab the media and change settings, add effects, things like that. Let's go and take a look at it.Īt the top left, we've got the preview area. Adobe just came out with Adobe Premier Elements for Mac for only $99 bucks. But, until not, it hasn't been available on the Mac. And, like Final Cut Studio had Final Cut Studio Express, there's Adobe Premier Elements, a cheaper, simplified version of Premier. So, Adobe Premier is the alternative to Final Cut Studio. On today's episode, let's take a look at the new Adobe Premier Elements for Mac. Video Transcript: Hi, this is Gary with MacMost Now. It runs much more smoothly, less heavy, extremely compatible and gives you that professional edge that you can't come close to finding with other consumer products.Check out MacMost Now 454: Adobe Premiere Elements for Mac at YouTube for closed captioning and more options. So if you're a professional filmmaker (or looking to join the professional ranks) I highly recommend Elements. This is huge for a professional filmmaker to have absolute control over his piece, Final Cut is the best example of giving you this while consumer pieces of garbage like iMovie and windows movie maker don't. The biggest benefit with the Pro-type software with the consumer price is that Elements gives you time lines where you can manually adjust the audio and video through key-framing and filters. ![]() I've pushed it as far as it could go, and now I'm hearin the new Elements has a boatload of professional features with the consumer price (that will make the old version I used look like nothing). Because it has so many high-end features, I was able to edit not one but 2 full-length feature films with Elements about 4 years ago on a PC. However, to return back to the point of Adobe Premiere Elements, I really love this editing suite because it's extremely WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) and yet it has a bunch of professional features for a consumer level price (unlike the pile of trash Imovie). ![]() Because it is such a heavy video editing suite, it won't run on my brand new MAC laptop (and this is even an older version of Final Cut like 5 years or more).Īs stated before, it's an extremely professional suit where if you know what you're doing, you can make some awesome stuff with it. Also, when you output it to DVD you have to go through iDVD or some other DVD suit, it doesn't allow you to simply write-it straight to DVD without any DVD menus or anything.Ĥ. Don't get me wrong, there's all kinds of options, however most of them are low-quality output and it took me forever to get it outputted to a decent quality file, and I was still disappointed.ģ. It doesn't allow me to simply output to a standard high-quality video file that can uploaded to the internet. The rendering time on FC is ridiculous, for doing even simple little things (I'm talking extremely simple) I have to constantly stop and wait for it to render.Ģ. I've got decent experience with Final Cut Pro, and as far as a professional editing suit I have little to no complaints, excellent for creating professional video.ġ. The new Premiere Elements 9 is now for Mac and Mac OS, I'm currently downloading a trial version for my MAC laptop to test it out and see how it works.
