Premiere Elements 2023 continues the Elements tradition of a highly automated workflow but adds a faster launch time along with new features. Reducing the size of the application by 45%, Adobe achieved making Premiere Elements 2023 launch up to 35% faster than ever before. It also takes up less space on your computer. Premiere Elements 2023 is the most high-performing and capable version of the popular consumer video editing software to date. When used on a Mac with an Apple M1 chip (support for which was added in this 2023 version), launch times and performance are up to 70% faster. Premiere Elements 2023 supports up to 4K editing and viewing.

Premiere Elements 2023 has the toolsets to perform basic and advanced edits. Apply transitions, graphics, and animated titles at various levels of intricacy. Correct your image with tools such as haze removal and shadow/highlight adjustment. Apply motion tracking and other cinematic effects. Create animated overlays and much more. There are also fun features like animated GIF creation and the ability to create video collages and slideshows. A collection of new slideshow templates are added in Premiere Elements 2023.

Whether you're applying a basic or advanced feature, Premiere Elements helps you along the way with automated tools. As you move through your project, you're presented with one-click buttons for applying an effect or correction. Many of the more elaborate features can be applied using Guided Edits, which lead you step-by-step through the entire process. At every step, you'll be prompted to make a selection of your choice, whether it's a color, size, or another parameter.

New additions in Premiere Elements 2023 include 100+ new audio tracks for your projects and artistic effects inspired by famous works of art. Popular features include auto reframe, which resizes your videos for social media while retaining the most important part of the action in the frame. The selection function is another favorite. It allows you to choose a specific object or area of your video and apply an effect (such as background blur) that tracks throughout the video. Stop motion is a popular feature that turns a series of photos or videos into a fun stop-motion movie.

While you do have the choice of taking advantage of all the automated options, you can also choose to work in a more manual space. Within the interface of the application, you can switch between automated and manual spaces, and you can toggle back and forth between the spaces even as you're working on the same project. All your work is saved and accessible in either workspace. It's just that one workspace gives you more direct access to automated tools. But even within the manual space, you're presented with automated tools along the way that you can choose to use to simplify the work.

Premiere Elements 2023 is compatible with Windows and macOS. For Windows, it requires an Intel 6th Generation or newer processor or AMD equivalent with SSE4.1 support. For macOS, you'll need an Intel 6th Generation or newer processor, or an Apple M1 processor. Premiere Elements 2023 is delivered to you in a box with a download code inside for downloading the program from the Adobe website.
