Good for basic editing, not so good for pros **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Amy L. | Media & Communications Manager, Non-Profit Organization Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2017 **What do you like best about Premiere Elements?** I like that Premiere Elements is easy to use for the average hobby video editor. It has a "Quick" mode, "Guided" mode, and "Expert" mode, making it easy to get used to the workflow, and work your way to slightly more advanced editing. Although I never used "Quick" or "Guided" mode, I appreciate this feature as useful for the beginning video editor who wants to scale up from iMovie or Windows Movie Maker. **What do you dislike about Premiere Elements?** I only used Premiere Elements because at the time, it was the software my organization was willing to invest in (instead of the Creative Suite, which I now use). Since I was already an intermediate to advanced video editor, I never used the "Quick" or "Guided" modes, skipping right to "Expert" mode. My gripes were what you could expect of someone who knows their way around advanced editing but doesn't have all the tools to carry out all the functions in this software. The absolute worst time-sucking thing I had to deal with was the lack of an audio-video sync feature. To the hobby editor who is using video and sound from the same source, no big deal - from there, editing is pretty smooth. But I was using video and audio from separate sources, and this software just can't handle that. On top of that, there was no way that I found to link the video with the new audio file once I synced them on the timeline. Sure, I could link or group the video and audio together, but once I cut into that clip, I would have to re-link every snippet with its audio all over again. To get around this, I had to match the video and audio manually, and then EXPORT that whole file, and re-import it into the session - for EVERY interview clip, which takes hours for single projects, working with high quality video files. I managed to deal with this and get through several projects in this manner because I had to, but I am so grateful to save so many hours now with Premiere Pro. **Recommendations to others considering Premiere Elements:** If you expect only to do basic to intermediate editing with a video camera, or even video slideshows, this software is more than enough for your needs. But if you are a pro editor and need to be able to sync audio with video and use advanced editing tools, go straight to Premiere Pro. **What problems is Premiere Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?** The license my org purchased has now been transferred to another staff person who is an amateur video editor, while I now use Premiere Pro and the Creative Suite. ## Premiere Elements Discussions - [How do ı get it?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/36720-how-do-i-get-it) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [What are Photoshop Elements features?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-are-photoshop-elements-features) - 1 comment - [What is the difference between Adobe Premiere and Elements?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-the-difference-between-adobe-premiere-and-elements) - 1 comment - [View Premiere Elements pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/premiere-elements/reviews?filters%5Bnps_score%5D%5B%5D=1§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-08-10+22%3A28%3A37+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=426b55de-0aeb-40d7-a035-713a9f9a2cbb&secure%5Btoken%5D=3fb4a092007c399ec4f6b1f79163e34cbc1a0acb348b7c4935a1a33fba21bf37&format=llm_user) ## Premiere Elements Features **Additional Functionality** - Metadata Management - Version Control - Collaboration Tools - Rapid Creation - Video Tagging - Social Promotion - Filtering - Commenting/Notes - Privacy Options - Multi-Channel Marketing - Mobile Screen Support - Video Editing - Live Streaming - Inside the Video Search - Brand Overlay - Customizable Branding - Presentation Streaming - Alerts/Notifications - Multimedia Support - Real-Time Analytics - Video Creation - Content Library - Screen Recording - Closed Captions - Image Library - Website Analytics - Video Archiving - Video Support - Customizable Templates - Visual Analytics - Drag & Drop - Multi-Channel Distribution - Workflow Management - Access Controls/Permissions - Engagement Tracking - Multiple Format Support - Labeling - Social Media Integration - API - Single Sign On - File Management - Template Management - Social Sharing - Communication Management - Tagging - Search/Filter - Generative AI - SSL Security - Video Streaming - Reporting & Statistics - Content Management - AI Copilot - Video Looping - Video Management - Activity Dashboard - Reporting/Analytics - Third-Party Integrations - Bulk Uploading **Editing** - Audio Mixing - Transcription - Text Animation - Time Mapping - Overlays and Watermarks - Clip Editing - Titles and Captions - Text Editing - Video Editing - Image Editing - 3D Video Editing - Brand Overlay - Text Overlay - Media Library **Platform** - Operating System - Multimedia Support - Team Review **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text-to-Speech - Generative AI **Agentic AI - Video Editing** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Proactive Assistance - Third-Party Integrations **Additional Functionality** - Search/Filter - Social Sharing - Collaboration Tools - API - Video Stabilization - Activity Dashboard - AI Copilot - Multi-Channel Marketing - User Management - Reporting/Analytics - Motion Tracking - Data Import/Export - Preview Functionality - Video Capture - Animations & Transitions - Video Streaming - Audio Capture - Template Management - Speed Adjustment - Split/Merge - Drag & Drop - Project Management - Content Management - Color Grading - Access Controls/Permissions - Supports HD Resolution - Video Marketing - Watermarking ## Top Premiere Elements Alternatives - [Camtasia](https://www.g2.com/products/camtasia/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (1,753 reviews) - [Wondershare Filmora](https://www.g2.com/products/wondershare-filmora/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (599 reviews) - [iMovie](https://www.g2.com/products/imovie/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (565 reviews)
