The Smart Trim tool is like the “magic editing” facilities found elsewhere, scanning a clip for the best sections. But if you shoot hours of family video footage and want to grab a few stills to share quickly, it has some value. The choices it makes seem random, and you may find stills you like better by extracting them manually. The former scans a video clip for frames containing faces that you can then export to the desktop as still images, or create a slideshow from. The other notable new features include Candid Moments and Smart Trim tools.
#ADOBE PREMIERE ELEMENTS 2018 BOX SOFTWARE#
Even consumer-grade video editing software has many hidden capabilities that the novice may not find, and guided editing helps discover more of the software’s hidden power. They’re not perfect idiot-proof tools – sometimes you have to try again when things don’t quite work – but are one of Premiere Elements’ key advantages over rivals. The resolution options are 852 x 480 or 320 x 240, but beware of exploding file sizes: I found that a five-second GIF at the top resolution was over 12MB, which is a bit big to share with friends. It could have been even better as a guided edit on its own, although Adobe does recommend an optimum length (five to ten seconds) for GIFs. You’re then prompted to output your bounce as an Animated GIF, which is a new and useful option. The other one offers a “bounce back effect”, where you take a short motion clip, speed it up, then add a reversed copy afterwards. The “freeze frame with motion title” would be great for an opening sequence where you introduce individuals or locations, stopping the action for a title each time one of them appears in the frame.
The other two guided edits aim to make advanced effects easier to create. It can add subtitles, too, which is all the rage now that so many people watch videos with the sound turned down. Premiere Elements has supported outputs in social-media-friendly formats for a while, but the new social media guided edit helps you add titles with motion animation to your clips. Action cam footage also tends to be shot with the camera in motion, so the guided edit suggests you use the image stabilisation tool to take the shakes out of the footage (although it doesn’t guide you through this directly).Īdobe also focuses on the rise of social media. One of this tool’s key features, apart from snipping out what it thinks are the best bits, is correcting the distortion associated with a wide-angle lens. There are four new guided edits, with the most notable aimed at action camera fans and their wide-angle footage. In this, the 16th iteration of Premiere Elements, Adobe majors on enhancements to its “guided edit” tools – think of these as interactive tutorials where you work with your own footage.
