Okay, but it needs a few more iterations
I ordered this because I am a huge fan of Adobe Photoshop Elements 7, which is the scaled down, consumer-level version of Photoshop. While I find Photoshop incredibly difficult and time consuming to use, Elements just sails along, able to do quick tasks like cropping and color-correcting in minutes, instead of hours. So, I had high hopes for the Elements version of Premiere, which in this release is bumped up to Version 7 to match the Photoshop version. Unfortunately I didn't find it as easy to use as I had hoped. Part of this may be that video is inherently more difficult to manipulate than static photographs. Part of it may be that video, particularly high def video, takes up a great deal of memory and disk space, and is therefore harder to work with. And, finally, I think part of it is that Premiere just isn't as far along as Photoshop. It hasn't been through seven iterations, and it feels like it. I'm not dissatisfied with it, which is why I still gave it four stars, but it isn't on the same level (for me) as Photoshop Elements, and it is pretty expensive. If you are a regular user of the full version of Premiere, and you just want something a bit smaller for home, this may be just the ticket. If you are new to video editing software, however, you'll want to compare the various options before clicking the Buy button on this one. Sean P. Logue, 2009

Bought it and brought it back the same day
I was hooked into the visual appeal of the UI. Big mistake! In a nutshell it it very slow and locks up. It is not for the occasional user(like me) as it is not intuitive to even do simple tasks(like trimming a video file). I ccouldn't get more than one video file in the time line. I followed the help files instructions and still couldn't successfully trim the file or get multiple clips on the time line, After 3-1/2 hours of trying I uninstalled it and returned the software.

Lots to learn
The first thing I liked when I open the premiere elements 7 box is that has a big book of instructions to follow and explained how to use the software, but then I dislike that took a lot of time to install the software and each time I open the program take more than 30 seconds to open. I don't like the menu and the little window with the advertisement "protect your memories with the backup Sync Try it now button" if you close that small window the program is closed and you have to open again but this time open faster. After using it, is a little complicated for me. I'm a beginner and was a challenge to understand all that options but I like the results, But I need more practice.

India tech support meets development effort
It is no secret that every developer was based in India - this is clearly documented on the splash screen. Do you like their tech support? The fact that Adobe decided to eliminate .MOV support is further proof this product is a distaster right out of the box. They are only able to sell it because you can't return it after you open the box. RUN AWAY!!!!!!

quality tells
like all adobe purchases i havw done in past "it is of the finest quality"
