"Adobe Premiere Elements 9 — which brings Premiere Elements to the Mac platform for the first time — is a head-on competitor for Apple's Final Cut Express."
MacNews, Dennis Sellers, January 6, 2011
"Premiere Elements offers compelling features at a great price....From timing options to granular control of lighting effects, it's that extra bit of control that really impressed us in Elements."
Mac|Life, Roberto Baldwin, October 18, 2010
"Premiere Elements then provides the best of both — seriously sophisticated editing capabilities, with automated assists to do much of the heavy lifting."
Videomaker, Doug Dixon, October 21, 2010

Mac|Life, Roberto Baldwin, October 18, 2010

The Kleper Report on Digital Publishing, Michael Kleper, December 2010
"Certainly, for Mac users wanting to get in on Adobe Premiere Elements or those who are just getting started, this is a no-brainer. For Windows users, all in all if you find the new features useful then it makes it a tempting upgrade and one I can recommend."
BlogCritics, T. Michael Testi, October 27, 2010
"As always, Adobe listened and responded to the public's need for artistic creativity. So, it is no surprise that the biggest new improvement in Adobe Premiere Elements 9 is the ease of uploading video creations to be viewed online."
