![]() If I could just buy Premiere Pro outright, I would. I would definitely like to upgrade to something better, but I am vehemently against the idea of paying a subscription for a piece of software. These are the biggest issues for me personally that I can think of. There are some other minor things as well. And this is only one of the problems of this nature that occurs. This specific issue is easy to fix, but it's still incredibly annoying. In short, because a completely separate track overlapped with where the video is, Elements assumes that those two tracks shouldn't be playing together, so it cuts off the video. If you close the gap with the tracks that way, it will cut off part of the video where the commentary track would have overlapped. Now the cuts aren't in the same place as the cut in the video, but there's no overlap. Well, to fix that, you just cut a bit off the end of that earlier section (assuming there's no dialogue there). When you close the gap, it will overlap with the previous section of the commentary track. Say, while editing, you come accross a situation where you're cutting things out, and your commentary track starts a little bit before the cut in the video track. This one's hard to explain, but I'll try. The timeline has a nasty habit of incorrectly assuming what it is you want. I've found it's a lot easier to use Illustrator for my text, export a PNG, then place it onto the video. That means that for every text frame, you need to start from scratch from the default settings. Which means that when you edit the text on the second frame, you'll change the first one as well. For some fucking reason, it makes an instance. Plus, for some reason, if you copy and paste a text frame, which you may want to do if you want the same settings, but with different words, it doesn't really make a copy. This is pretty minor, but the text frame options are really poor, and pretty buggy as well. You'd better hope that one of them at least comes close to what you want. You are required to pick from a list of presets. There's no way to simply tell it specifically what you want. The options when starting a new project are also pretty bad. This was something that got old really fast when I had to test out different export settings. Even if you make a custom profile, which you'll have to because the presets are awful, you can't view all your options! You're still bound by the category you have selected. The really shitty thing about this is that every category has different export options available, and there's no way to see all of them at once. After selecting "this computer" as the destination, the different file types are categorized by application (e.g. You might think it's great when you see that you can upload straight to YouTube using this menu, but the settings available using this option are horrible. You have to use this convoluted overcomplicated "publish and share" section instead of a simple export menu. Not the range of options, because that's relatively ok it's how they're laid out that's the problem. However, there are some fairly serious issues with Premiere Elements that you don't really notice until you've used it for a while.įirst and foremost, the biggest problem is that the export options absolutely suck. ![]() I've never looked for it, so I'm not sure. As for your list of requirements, all of that is in there, except maybe 1080p 60 output. I'm using Premiere Elements 11, and for basic editing, it works pretty well. What am I losing out on with Elements? Anyone have experience with both? If I go subscription, am I just overpaying for a crap ton of features I'll never use since I don't make skits/greenscreen/animations etc etc? I may need more things in the future, but for right now those are the things I simply -have- to have. ![]() HD output 1080p60fps but nothing really higher. These are the things I currently at the -least- need: Crossfading sound for cuts, crossfading video for cuts, insert graphics, multiple audio layers for music, sound effects, narration, and the game sound, potentially multiple video layers for future face-cam if I ever do that. I tried googling this and searching this reddit for it but couldn't find anything very specific answer wise. So my question is this: What am I missing out on by going Adobe Elements vs Pro I really hate the idea of renting software though, it's like pissing your money down the drain. I downloaded the trial of Adobe Premiere Pro and have used that fore my last 2 videos and it's great, a lot more freedom that I had in WMM to get creative. (after a certain number of video cuts, future cuts cause errors in the video where they show as green). Hi hi hi, I've been using Windows Media Maker (don't cringe! it's been good to me!) for the last month of my uploads, but I simply can't take the green-screen error anymore. TLDR: Is Adobe premiere elements so nerfed it's better to just pay the subscription fee?
