The Premiere Elements 8 from Adobe is an application designed to make movie-making a simple and easy task. Use this software to enhance your stories with professional style. It allows you to share your finished work almost anywhere. This package also provides a convenient solution for managing and protecting all your video clips and photos.

Central Clip Management
Bring all your video clips and photos together in the new Organizer, the hub of your video and photo experience. Find, view, and protect all your photos and video clips. You can even view video clips full screen.
Share the Same Content on Different Computers
Forget trying to manually maintain your clips and photos across multiple computers. With automatic syncing, media added or edited on one computer will automatically be synced to another.
Automation
Make movies with less effort. This software can automatically fix shaky footage and color and lighting problems, trim away all but your best footage, and balance audio elements to give you professional-quality sound throughout your movie.
Online Albums
Showcase your videos in one-of-a-kind Online Albums with your choice of dynamic, animated templates. Adobe Flash technology lets viewers interact with your videos for an entertaining experience. Share via public or private galleries so friends and family won't have to register to look.
Library
Add sparkle to your scenes thanks to an all-new library of artwork, including fun frames, objects, and animations.
Editing Techniques
Use creative editing techniques from Hollywood directors. InstantMovie automatically edits together your best clips with coordinated music, titles, effects, and transitions from the movie theme of your choice. All-new themes are included and you can easily customize to achieve the results you envision.
Preview
Get the full effect of your video clips and photos from within the Organizer with new full-screen previews.
Windows 7
Take advantage of support for the new Windows 7 platform and the hands-on capabilities of Windows Touch technology.
Effects
Delight your audience with a touch of movie magic: blur faces, add cartoon heads, and more. Now you can apply any 2D video effect to a specific area of a scene and keep it locked on the action with motion tracking.

        I was using prior version (Premier Elements 4.0) and found this release to be a great improvement. More intuitive, user friendly, and simpler.

            Endless hassle trying to get the software to open. Even after three attempts with customer service reps, I never even got to the point where I could start a new project, it just kept crashing. Then I bought Sony Vegas, and it worked first time, no hassles at all. So much for it being the fault of my hardware! If you own a PC and are looking for a good entry level video editing program, my advice is to stay well clear of Premiere Elements and go with Sony Vegas instead.

                ... and you're looking for a PC program with more power then pick up Premiere. Not as complicated as Final Cut Pro but with some solid add ons. Get this if you're looking to move your video to the next level.
