You can change the selections if you want, but it’s a good starting point. Smart Trim employs Adobe’s Sensei technology to locate the best sections of your clips and trim around them. For example, you can add text or tap the scissor icon to use the Smart Trim or Time Stretch controls. There are also a few simple controls available. Premiere Elements will then automatically add a cross-dissolve transition between each one, but you can also click on them in the timeline if you want to change their style. With that done, tapping ‘Import’ pulls in all the clips to a timeline. Then you’re guided through selecting the video clips you want from your file navigation structure or the Organizer. The first step in this process is to select the ‘Combine photos and videos to create a single movie’ option. However, the Quick section is genuinely useful even to more experienced video creators because it enables the user to join video clips and add transitions in next to no time. Like Photoshop Elements, Adobe Premiere Elements is divided into three sections called Quick, Guided and Expert.

Unlike its big brother Premiere Pro, you buy this software outright – and can be bought on its own, or in a twin-pack with Adobe Photoshop Elements image editing software.

Premiere Elements is Adobe’s latest low-cost video editor.
