It is not surprising, then, that software programs which have been used solely by graphic designers and advertising firms are now making their way into personal computers and laptops. While Adobe Elements is undoubtedly one of the best software programs to use for editing and tweaking your photos, it can be a little bit overwhelming and intimidating for the average person to use.
There are a number of different websites now that offer tutorials to help you get started and maximize the use of Adobe Elements. To make sure that you get to maximize this powerful software program, here are some things that you can look for. Starting from the Beginning One of the first things to look for when choosing a tutorial program over the Internet is to make sure that the tutorial covers first the basic rather than jumping in right away to the fancy stuff.
This is extremely helpful, especially if you are very new to using Adobe Elements altogether. By giving you an overview of where to find each of the different basic tools used in most projects, it will be a lot easier for you to follow more advance techniques and eventually become more and more confident to experiment on the different things that could be done using this software program.
Video Tutorials Another thing to look for in a tutorial program over the Internet is whether or not there are video tutorials that would guide you through certain basic techniques and processes.
Many times, Adobe Premier Elements tutorials that are found over the Internet are created by people who have a vast knowledge on the use of the software program.
What may appear to them as sheer basic instructions can still sound extremely vague and confusing for a person extremely new to the software program! With the video tutorial, you will be able to understand what they are talking about and follow these step-by-step, pausing the video once in a while in order to make sure that you are doing it correctly. You've got your crisp, clean video and now you want to mess it up with some cool blur effects. Here's how to use Adobe Premier Elements to make it happen.
It's a simple trick that can give you some professional looking results. In Adobe Premiere Elements you can blur out an area using multiple layers and a mosaic filter and matte. You can even make that area move along with an object in the video using the timeline and keyframes. Given how many people hold their phones the long way when shooting videos, this new functionality is destined to be quite popular.
The Guided Edits feature in Premiere Elements helps users learn how to use key video editing workflows. It's a simple setup, that sees you work on your own videos in the Expert tab, with pop-ups guiding you. However, while generally great for helping you master what might initially seem complex processes, the Guided Edits often skimp on explanations. I suspect the idea is to have you learn with as little interference as possible.
It takes you from opening and placing the clip into the timeline, through using the Shadows and Highlights tool, then playing the video to check the effect and finally exporting it. That aide, the Adjust Shadows and Highlights Guided Edit is a valuable addition to Premiere Elements , and one that encourages users to explore and learn about these essential controls and sliders.
The other new Guided Edit — Animated Overlays — is far less serious: It teaches you how to apply animated butterflies, bokeh lights, snowflakes, clouds, and such to your video. Options include Blend Modes, opacity, uniform or non-uniform scaling, rotation, and an anti-flicker filter.
Premiere Elements continues to be a great consumer video editing program that's suitable for both novices and more experienced users. Sally Wiener Grotta is the president and lead analyst of DigitalBenchmarks test lab www.
