Live help for Premiere Elements 9 (paid support)?

Question

I posted a question last evening, and got a very friendly answer (thank you, again!) - but unfortunately, I am still trying to figure my problem out.  I even subscribed to Lynda.com and watched the tutorials for the program - but it does not address my issue.
Does anyone know of a service/program professional that I can call/email and pay for answers to these types of questions?  I've just used "JustAnswer.com", and after 2 hours, am still waiting for a "computer professional" that is versed in the program.  Adobe support cannot help with "usage" questions - just problems with installation, errors, etc.
I REALLY, REALLY want to love this program, but I am starting to worry that it may just not suit my particular needs.  But before I abandon it, I want to exhaust all possible avenues of help!
Thanks again for taking the time to read my post - and offer whatever suggestions you may have,
Kim

Answer 1

(Just about every thing is explained in help - just keep looking and searching help until you find it).
1. Adding a "shadow/highlight" over a particular person in a moving clip
This requires the creation of a white circle that you slightly superimpose over the picture simply by putting it on an above track and setting the level of it to very low - just enough to see the faint circle.
It can be a graphic (same pixels as movie) quickly made in Paint or Photoshop or a camera shot of a white card.
If the graphic has a fuzzy edge then highlight edge will also be fuzzy.
Zoom and move it about as for your point 4
Trying to follow movement is a bit trickier as you would have to shift it at least 2 frames at a time.
Alternately you can use the chroma key effect except you insert the same picture in the hole as the background then reduce the level of the background picture to make it darker.(see help)
2. Being able to "tag" or add keywords to clips that I've edited in the timeline for See answers to your other posts
Whats wrong with an old fashioned simple notebook and pencil and note the time, changing it if you change it's position.  I use one all the time - much quicker.
3. Repeating a clip in slow motion. Requires making a copy and slowing it down.
Set a break point at the beginning or end of the section to be repeated
Select and Copy the section
Paste insert it into the point where you want the section be repeated.
Select the new copied bit
Change it's speed
If you want normal speed audience noise instead of strangly slowed down or hollow sound you can first unlink the audio & video and place enough of a third copy of the original audio again in the audio gap that would otherwise appear.
(Note Many function are found by right clicking on various areas of the screen)
4. Zooming in on a particular portion of a clip.
Click on the preview screen and drag the markers to zoom or reposition to suit
