Premiere Elements reviews
"There are now 88 Guided Edits to help you learn the details of editing while performing creative transformations. Guided Edits are one of the hallmarks of the Elements series. Users can learn while they express themselves and eventually progress to more advanced editing."
– Jon Sienkiewicz, October 2023
"Like Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements also has gained a fresh new look with new buttons, icons, and light and dark modes. New audio effects like reverb, DeHummer, and Vocal Enhancer improve the listening experience. And a new match color and tone feature allows you to copy colors from photos and videos for a stylized look."
– Amber Nealy, October 2023
“Adobe has announced the 2023 updates to both Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements with a focus on making the apps — which have historically been designed to be dead simple — even faster to use and easier to understand.”
– Jaron Schneider, PetaPixel, October 2022
“The new ability to select an object within a video and apply an effect to it or to its surroundings with just a few clicks, then have that effect track through the video is a wonder to behold. With the right video input, even if it is only a short section of a clip, it is a real attention getter.”
– Stan Sholik, Rangefinder, October 2020
“...the interface in Premiere Elements is clean and logical, and the guided edits make it easy to perform basic video operations. Users familiar with Photoshop Elements, or previous users of Premiere Elements will be editing in short order. It is generally easy to perform simple edits, such as trimming the beginning and end of videos, adding a transition between clips, and adding music.”
– Stan Sholik, Rangefinder, October 2020
“Adobe has made it pretty simple to ‘fix’ an image that isn’t quite right...you’ll have help with exposure, straightening and other artistic types of editing. The same holds true for Adobe Premiere Elements, which includes fun, new features to make your videos a bit more than just straight out of phone/camera videos.”
– Lauri Novak, Photofocus, October 2020
“This year’s update is loaded with powerful tools and features driven by Adobe Sensei, giving the users of these applications access to incredibly powerful and complex tools in a simple to use format, allowing them to create images and videos you’d never expect.”
– David Crewe, SLR Lounge, October 2020
“Adobe seems to rely on AI more and more, and it’s constantly adding new features to its software. Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 2021 have just been announced, and they’re full of AI-powered features that are both useful and fun.”
– Dunja Djudjic, DIY Photography, October 2020
"Adobe Premiere Elements continues its long reign as the overall best consumer video-editing app, with new automated features and simplified workflows for quick video editing."
– Jackie Dove, Tom's Guide, October 2018
"Adobe Premiere Elements 2019 concentrates on two major areas, both of which rely on its Sensei AI engine. Users will appreciate the Auto Creations feature, accessible from the new Home Screen because you literally don’t have to do anything but hit the Share button. With its overhaul of the Quick Edit mode, the program channels two major kinds of edits to their most useful interface and then provides all the tools needed to accomplish the editing task. It is remarkably streamlined and will make for a faster and easier workflow for most home-based moviemakers."
– Jackie Dove, MacWorld, October 2018
"Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 2019 use Adobe’s Sensei AI engine to create photo and video slideshows as well as collages from different events, all without you having to lift a finger. Performance improvements have also been introduced across both applications, including faster installs and speedier edits with some tools."
