Home Movie Magic with the Latest Video Editing Software by Adobe

Ever wanted to become a film director, or at least create a video to get a massive number of hits and ratings on YouTube? Or maybe an impressive video about your vacation that you can show off to your friends or relatives with professional-like editing.

Most people would start burning their home videos on DVD on the sly, probably because video editing might be too expensive, or too troublesome or complex to use that all that matters is the content.

Adobe Systems, makers of the famous Adobe Photoshop has come up with a video editing software with all the essentials of a professional video editing software while retaining the simplicity that doesn't require an IQ over 100.

The Adobe Premiere Elements 3 is by far one of the best I've seen as the simple drag-and-drop interface and the chock-full of tools and effects included in the bundle would leave you stuck in the director's chair for hours. I asked a friend who's into video editing and showed me his copy of the Adobe Premiere Elements 3 and how he uses it.

"It's the best video editing software on a budget." Says my friend, whom I call YT Fanatik.

The interface starts of with a video editing wizard to begin loading your video files to compile and segregate the video and sound in order to begin creating the storyboard as well as adding background music, a big plus for the Adobe Premiere Elements 3. Everything comes to place as you place the video sequence you wish for it to appear with the palette tool that has all the buttons without opening a separate options palette for other functions.

What makes it even more user friendly is the direct editing on the preview window where you can place the titles, notes or even give it a TV show feel with opening credits and episode titles. And an even more amazing innovation for this video editing software is the mini-timeline, allowing users to see how long it takes for the current scene before next scene appears.
