Adobe Premiere Elements
Editing for Everyone. _Looking for a better product, there are so many now that finding one is hard, Adobe used to only make a $700 product, but now they've done a consumer version that looks like the one to try...as noted in the review. You can also download a 30-day trial at Adobe
There are many good consumer applications to consider: Apple iMovie 4, Canopus Let's Edit, CyberLink Power Director 3, Intervideo WinDVD Creator2, MacXware MediaEdit Pro, Magix Movie Edit Pro, MainConcept EVE 2, Microsoft Movie Maker 2.1, NewSoft Presto! VideoWorks, Nova Development Video Explosion Deluxe, Pinnacle Studio and Dazzle, Sony Media Software Vegas Movie Studio+DVD, and Ulead Video Studio 8. These are among the best of the consumer video editing software packages available. Having acknowledged these applications, I want to introduce you to one that may soon be considered the best of breed for Windows-based consumer video editing.
The new Adobe Premiere Elements software is my recommendation for Windows-based consumer editing. This application has been streamlined for consumer use. The design focus is clearly ease of use, with many tasks automated.
