To that end Premiere Elements just tagged along behind the rest of the market as far as development and innovation went and which is why a few years ago, I was about to remove it from this website altogether. The result was a perfectly serviceable program which at the time was actually one of the better ones around but it didn’t take very long before other players entered the market with a much more specifically designed outcome in mind. Rather than having been developed as a specific consumer level program, Adobe kind of stripped down Premiere Pro in an effort to make something simple for the home user. Premiere Elements suffered from being a kind of afterthought when someone at Adobe must have realized there was a substantial consumer market for video editing.
The second of these problems was a clear lack of direction and identity in the face of increasingly fierce competition. Premiere Elements of course had regular upgrades to keep pace with technical changes and occasionally a feature was pulled out of the Pro version and thrown into Elements to make it look like someone was still interested. This was probably because of superior marketing and a lack of competition rather than the software being anything astounding to write home about!ĭon’t get me wrong here, it was always a quite serviceable product and got the job done but over time it began to suffer from two main problems.įirst of these was that it was quite obvious Adobe were focusing on the pro end of the market with Premiere Pro and that’s where the development energy was being invested. In fact, “back in the day” Premiere Elements seemed to rule the world of consumer video editing.
Adobe Premiere Elements was first released in 2004 in response to the increasing access the average consumer had at that time to digital video.
