Differences between Premiere Elements 8 & 9

Hi,
I am brand new to digital video editing, so this is probably a dopey question.  I have successfully (I think!) installed Pre El 9 and Photoshop El 9.  As I am finding the programme less than intuitive, I have been looking for help both online and via books.  I got what seems like a very helpful book from the library but it is for Pre El 8.  In fact, most of what I am finding seems to relate to Pre E 8, or annoyingly flips me into information for Photoshop Elements 9.  I am struggling as it is, so I don't want to work through this book and find that big chuncks don't relate to the programme I have.  I have emailed Adobe support and all they said was that Pre El 9 is more enhanced in terms of performance.  Does that mean that the two programmes look and are used in exactly the same way and its behind the scenes stuff that has been improved or are there extra features in 9? Any help any one can give me would be greatly appreciated.

  • Differences between Premiere Elements 11 and Pro CS6?

    Hello,
    I would like to know the differences between Adobe Premiere Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 in relation to video editing. If someone can point me to any resource on the web like a comparision chart of features, differences etc that would be perfect. I understand the Premiere Pro CS6 would have a lot of extra bell and whistles, special effects etc... but what I would like to know if there is a difference in terms of the the quality of the Final Product?
    Our needs for a video editor are very simple. We need to create simple titles and text overlay to show the name of the speaker and/or topic. A few times we the audio was not recorded on the video camcera but we do have the audio recorded for the event on a separate audio recorder in .WAV format. So we would like to sync up the video with this audio. Can this be done in Adobe Premiere Elements 11?
    And in cases where the audio was recorded with video, we would like to increase the gain/volume for the audio or clean up some hum or background noise. Can this be done in Adobe Premiere Elements 11?
    That is it, we do not need any special effects or animations etc... Please let me know if Adobe Premiere Elements 11 can help us meet our needs. If there is any other software that would be more suitable please advise.
    Thank you!

    I cannot speak for CS6.  Here are thoughts from a new APE11 user's view:

    APE11 provides simplicity and good functionality for this stated need.

    If your video and audio contain a clap, you can manually sync by sliding the audio peak along the video.  The audio wave form will be blanked out when sliding, with a frame counter showing how many whole frames you have moved the audio at each moment, so it is a "drag, stop, compare, drag another frame or two, stop, compare" process that works.  (Finer adjustment than whole frames is not possible.)  Once the sync is achieved, select both audio and video track and link them. (The stability of the sync over time will depend on the accuracy of the recorder, and can pose a problem in long recordings. )  
    increase the gain/volume for the audio or clean up some hum or background noise. Can this be done in Adobe Premiere Elements 11?
    APE11 allows adjusting the volume levels and also provides level normalization if desired, but more involved audio cleanup such as hiss and hum removal, compression, or auto gain are not available.
    Please let me know if Adobe Premiere Elements 11 can help us meet our needs. If there is any other software that would be more suitable please advise.
    You should download the APE11 trial to judge for yourself how well it will meet all your needs. 

  • Difference between WBS Element & Internal Order

    <b>Dear Sap Guru's
    Can someone throw some light on the differences between WBS Element & Internal Order?
    Regards,
    Amit</b>

    Hi Amit,
    To understand the difference between WBS Element & Internal Order, i shall take them one after the other.
    To understand WBS elements, you need to understand the concept of <b>Project</b>.
    <b>Project Definition</b> is the framework within which objects are grouped.
    It provides the basis for the Work Breakdown Structure(WBS).
    In principle Project Definition refers to a single Production Area or License Block
    Objects could be sub-projects, phases of a project, distribution of activities, materials, services, general cost elements, etc.
    Projects have a start and a finish date whether long term or short term.
    <b>WBS</b> is the hierarchical model of the tasks to be performed in the project. It represents the sub-division of work into manageable components which can be budgeted, planned and controlled.
    WBS is the operative basis for the further steps in project planning, e.g. cost planning, scheduling, capacity planning as well as project controlling.
    WBS can be organized according to phases, according to functions/processes or according to objects (execution projects).
    <b>Networks and Activities</b>
    A network represents the process in a project or in a task in logical sequence, and is the basis for detail scheduling.
    <b>Networks</b> are made up of two main components: <b>Activities</b> and <b>Relationships</b>.
    Through the use of activities, a network represents the flow of a project. Activities are the starting point for planning, analysis and specification.
    Networks are also used to generate requisitions of material and services.
    On the other hand,
    <b>Internal Order</b>
    Is an instrument used to monitor costs and, in some instances, the revenues of an organization.
    Internal orders can be used for the following purposes:
    1. Monitoring the costs of short-term jobs
    2. Monitoring the costs and revenues of a specific service
    3. Ongoing cost control
    Internal orders are divided into the following categories:
    1. <b>Overhead orders</b> - For short-term monitoring of the indirect costs arising from jobs. They can also be used for continuous monitoring of subareas of indirect costs. Overhead orders can collect plan and actual costs independently of organizational cost center structures and business processes, enabling continous cost control in the enterprise.
    2. <b>Investment orders</b> - Monitor investment costs that can be capitalized and settled to fixed assets.
    3. <b>Accrual orders</b> - Monitor period-based accrual between expenses posted in Financial Accounting and accrual costs in Controlling.
    4. <b>Orders with revenues</b> - Monitor the costs and revenues arising from activities for partners outside the organization, or from activities not belonging to the core business of the organization.
    I hope the above helps.
    Do not forget to award the points please.
    Regards,
    Jacob

  • Difference between WBS element and internal order?

    What is the main difference between WBS element number and internal order number?
    Points will be given!

    Hi,
    WBS:
    The work breakdown structure (WBS) is a model of the project that organizes project tasks into a hierarchy.
    It is the functional basis for further planning steps in a project, for example, for process planning, cost planning, scheduling, capacity planning or costing, as well as project control.
    It gives you a clear picture of the project and facilitates the coordination and implementation of the project from a management standpoint.
    It shows the work involved in a project.

    Internal order:
    Internal orders are normally used to plan, collect, and settle the costs of internal jobs and tasks. The SAP system enables you to monitor your internal orders throughout their entire life-cycle; from initial creation, through the planning and posting of all the actual costs, to the final settlement and archiving:

  • DVD Rendering and Burning: differences between Premiere Pro and Premiere Elements

    I am landscape photogapher and wish to either create slide shows in Premerie or import them to Premiere  from H264 1080 quicktime files generated by Ligthroom 3.  I do not do frame by frame video editing.  My only goal in using Premiere is to be able to render and/or burn DVD's and eventually Bluetooh compatible DVD's for play back on commercial flat panel TV's, e.g., Samsung flat panel dvd's.
    Are the DVD rendering and burning capablity of Pemiere CS5 Pro and Premiere 9 Elements equivalent , i.e, are that both as likely to produce DVD's that render with natural color on commercial flat panel TV's?
    My prior experience is that my Lightroom generated 1080, H264 quicktime movies  have perfectly natural color on Mac LCD and other computer monitors but see very over saturated color on commecial flat panel tv's. 
    Discussions with Adobe tech support folks are contradictory on this matter.

    The main differences between the authoring capabilities (the assembly of DVD/BD, navigation and Menus, plus burning) of Encore (the authoring program, that ships and installs with PrPro) and PrE 9 are:
    1.) Encore is a full-featured authoring program, offering a lot more power and flexibility, but at the expense of having to do it "by hand," where PrE 9 is very limited in the navigation that can be employed, and it uses Menu Sets for that automation. Though PSD's, like the Menus in Encore, they have many special aspects, that must be considered, when doing any customization.
         A.) In Encore, one can create almost all sorts of navigation in the DVD/BD, limited almost exclusively to the limits imposed by the DVD, or BD specs.
         B.) PrE 9 will allow Autoplay, with no Menu, or will automatically create Scene Menus, per the Chapter Markers that you add - and that is ALL. There will      be no Into AV material. No Subtiltes. No supplemental Audio streams. Only linear navigation, or no navigation.
         C.) Menus for Encore are much more easily customized, where there are some major conventions in those from PrE, that MUST be addressed.
    2.) Encore can Burn an Image (ISO) - no Image in PrE, and can Burn a BD to Folder, which cannot be done in PrE - only for DVD.
    3.) Encore offers the capability to adjust Layer Breaks for DL discs.
    4.) Encore allows one to adjust the Burn speed, and in PrE, one is stuck with the "fastest" based on the speed of the media + the burner
    5.) Encore allows output to a Flash delivery with pretty much full navigation.
    6.) Encore allows for changes in the Subpicture Highlight Color Sets, and PrE will only do that, with some Menu Set editing.
    7.) Encore offers a SlideShow feature, but I feel that it is rudimentary and limited, and assemble mine in PrPro, then go to Encore for authoring.
    8.) Encore is a separate program, though interfaces with PrPro with ADL (Adobe Dynamic Link), and is NOT available as a stand-alone any more - only with      PrPro.
    There are probably more differences, and some of the above might not make any difference to you. Things can probably be summed up as: Encore = great power and flexibility, but with things being done manually, and PrE lacks the power and flexibility, but is semi-automatic, so probably easier to use on simple Projects.
    Good luck, and hope this helps you make the decision,
    Hunt
    [Edit] Sorry that some of the formatting for the Outline did not translate well. Gotta' explore the Outline formatting in the editing screen more, 'cause it would probably have fixed things. Sorry about that.

  • Upgrades and difference between Premiere Pro and Elements

    When upgrading software, can I switch from Premiere Pro to Elements? If so, is Elements set up using similar menus and tools? Can Elements create short videos for broadcasting on tv and the web?

    Premiere pro is the product for professional video editing and Elements is designed for consumer video editing.
    You can see what Premiere Elements has to offer here:

    I understand that it is difficult to determine which forum to post in since there are so many. This particular forum (sharing and storage) was created to help those transitioning from Photoshop.com to Adobe Revel. I am moving your post to the correct forum so that it can get proper attention.

  • How much difference between Premier Elements and PS VII?

    How much difference is there between Premiere Elenebts and Photoshop Elements VII?  Considereing upgrading, but need to know how much time I will have to spend in training? 

    It’s certainly worth considering the bundle PSE10 & PRE10 which is very favorably priced. The two applications seamlessly integrate. There are some interesting new video features - even for bringing your stills to life.
    New color correction tools make it possible to enhance video clips, just like photos.
    It’s also possible to burn HD quality movies to both Blu-ray disc and onto standard DVD’s. PRE10 is Adobe’s first consumer package with 64 bit support for enhanced performance (Windows 7 only)
    Mac users were first introduced to PRE9 and can now use SmartSound® to add a variety of royalty free music soundtracks that automatically adjust to perfectly match the length of their movies.

  • I'm trying to understand the difference between Photoshop Elements and Lightroom software.

    Does one have things the other does not?

    Hi,
    Lightroom is to manage photos and produce derivative images without ever modifying an original file. Its processing functionality has a narrow feature-set covering the most common needs of professional photographers whereas Elements is a simpler yet powerful photo manipulation tool. Elements is designed to satisfy the needs of photo enthusiasts who like to manipulate images.
    You can also go through the thread to understand the basic difference between PSE and Lightroom.
    Check if this helps.
    Thanks,

  • What is the difference between Premiere CS6 and Premiere Pro CC

    Is there a difference between the two programs?
    I am debating if to buy the Premiere CS6 or to subscribe to the Premiere CC in the Adobe Creative Cloud.

    Your answer is clear but does not address my situation. I have only a Creative Cloud (monthly) subscription (no purchased version of CS6). When I first acquired Adobe Master Collection CS6 in the spring, Creative Cloud installed it and has provided periodic updates to it. Now I have downloaded and installed Premiere Pro CC, resulting in two versions of PP, both installed and maintained by Creative Cloud. While many of the installed CS6 programs have cousins labeled CC, not all of the installed apps have a CC version. I'm not understanding why Adobe does not simply come out and say to uninstall the CS6 versions (or do it automatically when a CC version is installed), or otherwise clarify where all of this is going.
    I emphasize again that I never bought a version of CS6 that was installed directly onto my computer. All CS6 programs were originally installed via Creative Cloud. Confusing and definitely not the Four Seasons level of product/service that I expect from Adobe.

  • What is the difference between Ps Elements and CC PS?

    The basic question is whether CC based Ps or Lr are better or featur richer as the individual products. Or the difference is just packaging

    I would like to know what is Ps CC, what us the difference between the various Ps versions: Elements, full standalone, and CC. As far as I understand Elements is a subset of the full standalone Ps. Where Ps CC sits: between them, less than... Or more than...
    i Would like to see a kind of comparison table, which feature us supported by each version, so someone can met him the needs to the best matching version

  • Is there a path for projects between Premiere Elements and Premiere Pro?

    As an educator who has been teaching FCP7 for several years, we are preparing to purchase new equipment and most likely go to the Adobe Suite.  However, I want to know if Premiere Elements is functionally similar to Premiere Pro, and if it would be a good option for beginning students prior to moving to Premiere Pro.

    rich experience
    Premiere Elements is an excellent program and is in many respects not a second citizen to Premiere Pro.
    The principles of the programs are the same. And, although some Premiere Elements features might not be as full as Premiere Pro, they
    can get most of the tasks done.
    Is this your first experience with an Adobe product in your teaching facilities?
    If you have not, please work through or have your IT people work through the program permissions angle on this matter.
    Premiere Elements works from a User Account with Administrative Privileges. With volume licensing in a school or company
    environment, this can create problems.
    Another consideration is the level of support help to expect from Adobe once you have purchased the product.
    At the Premiere Elements level, often you are directed by Adobe to Ask the Community (us, user to user) and in some limited ways Adobe Chat.
    I have noted that Premiere Pro support channels are far more "enhanced".
    Will someone be looking at the tryout before purchase to assure the compatibility of the product with the computer environment and project goals?

  • Is there a difference between photoshop elements 11 bought in USA and one bought in Australia

    Will photoshope elements 11 program purchased in the USA run on a computer in Australia, or will there need to be a different serial number or some other change. Thanks

    Yes it will work. The only real difference being your statutory rights will not apply in Australia as they are limited to the country of purchase.

  • Difference between Premiere image and export

    When I export a sequence from Premiere Pro 5.5 to H.264 or MPEG2 the image is sloightly brighter in Quicktime than Premiere's playback. How can I get them to match? I am using a calibrated Apple monitor, running Lion. I am used to dealing with ICC profiles for stills, printer profiles, etc. It seems that with video, I may not have the same control over output. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    There are three ways of tagging in the QT Edit app in Pro Media Tools:
    1. Color - this allows you to specify NTSC, PAL or HD and it sets the appropriate primary, transfer and matrix for the particular format.
    2. Color Space - this allows you to tag it with an ICC profile as you would an image.
    3. Gamma - this allows you to specify the gamma the file was created at, such as 1.8 or 2.2. However, it's only there for backwards-compatibility. Apple does not recommend this option because it has been replaced with the more advanced Color tag. You can add only a Color or a Gamma tag and when you add one, the option for the other will disappear.
    You can see what it's going to look like in the preview window so I'd recommend trying out various settings until it looks right. These settings are located in the Encoding Attributes tab that appears when the video track is selected in the track window. You may need to click the + button to add the necessary tags.

  • What's the biggest difference between Premiere Pro and other options?

    Thanks!

    "Other options" ... as in NLE's? You're not very specific there ... so all I can do is note that all other video processing programs are designed to realistically do one part of the task, with the need to pass-off to different programs typically by different makers to do the Whole Job. Adobe's pro video programs are designed to work together, and do so pretty well in all. PrPro for editing your footage into a viewable form/timeline, AfterEffects for any specific needs for Fx work, SpeedGrade for colorist/grading work (making it pretty or day-to-night or whatnot) and Audition for cleaning up, augmenting, or building your audio, then to Adobe Media Encoder for outputting to all sorts of codecs/formats for final use.
